Compared with Pengcheng, Yangcheng is more prosperous, at least the factories and other things are here. Pengcheng is still a small fishing village, and the construction team is only doing some basic construction there. It will have the upper hand only after the special economic zone is approved next year.

The three of them searched for factories, inspected them one by one, and ordered some small commodities, as well as clothing and electrical appliances that had been smuggled from Hong Kong. They rented a small warehouse to receive the goods, and only at nightfall did they store the goods in the space.

The three of them received the goods silently without attracting anyone's attention.

Xiao Hai was wandering around behind the warehouse when he was attracted by a fragrance.

I looked up at the trees and saw that they were covered with fruit. When I got closer, I saw that they were lychees!

He quickly ran to the warehouse and called the two of them.

"Brother Cao, Brother Qi, there are so many lychees over there!"

They looked at each other and smiled, all thinking of the little girl.

"Xiao Hai, go ask the villagers nearby to see whose lychees these are, or if they're wild. Does anyone want them?"

Xiao Hai ran away upon hearing this and came back soon.

"No one wants them. They get sore throats from eating them. Lychees are very common here. Almost every household has one or two trees in their yard, so every year they fall all over the ground."

"Then let's go pick them." With the space, we can save on transportation costs. You know, this thing is quite valuable in the north, and I didn't expect that no one wants it here.

The three of them left Xiao Hai to guard the warehouse. Since Cao An and Qi Siling had space, they climbed up the tree directly. They cut the bunches of lychees and threw them into the space.

It took two people a whole day to harvest half of this mountain of wild lychees, which shows how terrifying the number of these things is.

Qi Siling sat on a branch at the top of the tree, picked one at random, peeled off the rough shell, revealing the tender and white flesh inside.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, your mouth will be filled with sweet juice.

He lay on the branch contentedly, wiping the juice from his lips with his hand. He thought of that girl again. She must like this very much.

Since there are so many fruits here and we have enough space, I would feel a bit sorry for the girl if I didn’t collect more.

The three of them hit it off immediately. Xiao Hai stayed alone in the warehouse, while the other two went to the village to pick fruits.

Mango, coconut, dragon fruit, wax apple, kumquat, grapes, peach, fig, longan.

You can't blame them for being greedy, it's mainly because there are so many fruits in Guangzhou that the locals are tired of eating them. They buy the ones no one wants, because they're free anyway, so of course they charge more for free. Who can resist money?

Fortunately, there is a large space and it can be installed, otherwise it would be really worrying.

"Hahaha, now, Sister Youyou can eat fruit every day!"

Xiao Hai was excitedly chewing the wax apple, talking, and smacking his lips, and the juice of the wax apple was spraying out.

Cao An pushed his face away in disgust, "Talk after you finish eating."

It was simply a matter of time; otherwise, they would have definitely gone to Hong Kong. After spending ten days in Guangzhou, the three of them were preparing to return just as school was about to start, leaving the engineering team in the hands of Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang had learned a great deal from them over the past two months, becoming fully capable of handling everything from interpersonal relationships to business negotiations.

Before leaving, I signed a contract with Uncle Wang, giving him a share of the profits. I wasn't worried about him quitting and going it alone, because Zhong Sheng only recognized Anhai Company.

Qi Siling was so eager to go home that if he wasn't afraid of being discovered while flying in the aircraft during the day, he would have wanted to take off right away!

Only after being forced by Cao An to get on the train did he calm down.

"If I had asked someone to buy a plane ticket earlier, I would have arrived in a few hours."

Cao An looked at him with disdain, "With your level, do you think you can buy it?"

"I have a job, so at least there's hope of buying it. It's just that I don't have a letter of introduction. I'll definitely be able to get it next time I come. You guys are different, but you don't even have a hope." Qi Siling retorted bluntly.

Cao An and Xiao Hai looked at each other and rolled up their sleeves.

Qi Siling realized something was wrong and tried to stand up, but was pinned down and beaten by the two men.

After the two men had exhausted their energy, they stopped fighting. Qi Siling rubbed his sore muscles and stood up. "Are you still human?"

"We are definitely human, but you don't know that."

Everyone in the carriage saw the three men fighting. They were all tall and fierce, especially the burly man with the fierce face. One person who couldn't stand it sneaked out of the carriage and went to find the conductor.

When the flight attendant arrived, the three were still arguing.

"Comrade, someone reported you for fighting in the train car. Please come with us."

The three of them were stunned, feeling a bit amused and helpless, and hurried to explain.

"Comrade, the three of us are friends, just joking around."

The conductor didn't believe it at all, mainly because he didn't believe Cao An.

As a last resort, Qi Siling had to show his ID to clear up the misunderstanding.

After reluctantly sending the conductor away, the three of them sat down quietly and stopped fighting. They bought a deck of cards on the train and started playing.

Entertainment was scarce in those days, so seeing the three of them playing poker, everyone in the car gathered around. Some, thinking they were playing for money, tried to join in, but were sternly refused. Playing for money was play, but playing for money was gambling.

Playing with three people was boring, so an older man sitting next to us joined in, and the three became four.

Qi Siling's mind was full of how to see his young wife as soon as possible. He looked out the window from time to time and was even distracted while playing cards.

Cao An couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him on the head. Qi Siling noticed and subconsciously dodged.

"You've gone too far! Be careful or I'll tell the little girl and let her deal with you."

"Tsk, it's true that people get swayed by the company they keep. After being with that little bitch for so long, you've already learned to complain!"

"We are called husband and wife of one mind. We can't afford to have another one!" When talking about that girl, he couldn't suppress the pride in his heart.

Seeing him like this, Cao An felt a pang of pain in his teeth. He also wanted to be like that! After two months of separation, Qi Siling could still talk to the little girl on the phone, but he was different. Not to mention the phone, he couldn't even send a letter.

The three-day, two-night train ride had left the three of them with headaches and backaches. The summer train carriage was incredibly uncomfortable, and Qi Siling was incredibly thankful the girl hadn't come along. Otherwise, given the situation, she might have been seriously ill upon returning.

Even the three of them couldn't handle it, let alone her small body.

It was already evening when the three of them arrived. The train station was close to the old house, so they decided to go back to the old house first and go to Hua University the next day.

Qi Siling took out the things he had brought to the old house and knocked on the door. It was Zi Bo who opened the door.

Seeing that the three people were still a little in disbelief, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and then pounced on Cao An.

"Brother Cao! Brother Qi! Brother Xiao Hai! Why are you back at this time?"

He moved his nose and sniffed Cao An.

"Ugh! Wow, what's that smell on you guys?" Zi Bo quickly let go of Cao An, ran to the road outside the door and started retching.

"You little bastard, you even dislike me?" Cao An sniffed at himself. Perhaps he'd sniffed too much in the train car and hadn't noticed. A cool breeze cleared his nose, and he finally realized what was happening. He turned and headed home, taking out his key and unlocking the door.
