the next day.

As soon as Aunt Chen arrived at the shrimp farm, she saw that almost all the workers were gathered together, as if they were discussing something.

"Why aren't you going in to clock in? What are you doing here?" she asked as she stepped forward.

"Aunt Chen, look at these shrimp. If we buy them, the other party will only offer this much money." An aunt held up one finger.

"One yuan?" Aunt Chen's eyelids twitched.

She knew the current market price for shrimp; shrimp this size would sell for at least 3 yuan per jin (500g).

No wonder everyone was gathered here, their faces beaming with joy and eager to get started.

Cheap and large shrimp, anyone would be tempted.

Aunt Chen glanced at it and was somewhat tempted, but she was also afraid of being scammed.

She hurried into the factory to find Aunt Huang.

At this moment, Aunt Huang was disinfecting every corner of the venue.

"Aunt Huang, come out quickly and give me some advice."

Aunt Chen called out.

The factory was very spacious, and although her voice wasn't loud, it sounded very clear.

Aunt Huang hurriedly handed the items to the person next to her and walked out of the workshop.

"What do you want to discuss?" she asked hurriedly.

Chen Auntie made most of the decisions at the factory, while Huang Auntie carried them out.

Now that they suddenly wanted to discuss something with her, Aunt Huang's eyelids twitched, and she thought something had happened.

"Come out and see the shrimp outside," Aunt Chen said, pulling her outside.

The workers who had been gathered at the entrance dispersed. It wasn't that they didn't want to watch the excitement, but rather that it was time to go into the workshop and start working.

The salary and benefits here are high, and most importantly, it's not strenuous; you're mostly sitting at work.

Even if they craved the shrimp, they wouldn't skip work for it.

"It's a good size, but it must be expensive, right?" Aunt Huang asked hesitantly after looking at it.

"It's not expensive, the wholesale price is only 1 yuan per jin, about the same as pork," the man who came to promote the product said hurriedly.

Aunt Chen's heart was pounding in her throat. How could they make money selling shrimp at such low prices?

She thought of the newly opened shrimp farm in her family, and a wave of worry washed over her.

Aunt Huang was much calmer than her. "How many kilograms of shrimp do you have over there?"

"300 jin (150 catties), if you can take it all, I can talk to the boss and get a discount." The man's eyes lit up, and he blurted out excitedly.

After he finished speaking, he felt a little annoyed, thinking he shouldn't have spoken so quickly.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Huang calmed down completely. "It's a pity we've already placed orders with other shrimp farms, otherwise we could have bought some more."

Aunt Chen was about to speak, but seeing Aunt Huang's look, she quickly shut up.

The man wasn't angry. "Auntie, this is my business card. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."

Aunt Huang nodded and pulled Aunt Chen into the factory.

Walking into the office inside,

Aunt Chen suddenly remembered the shrimp she ate last night, her eyes widened in panic, and her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Aunt Huang said, "If you don't try to get something for nothing, you'll suffer a big loss. Ah Yan told us that before she went abroad."

"How could we possibly be the ones to snag a bargain at such a low price?"

Aunt Chen nodded hurriedly, "Thank goodness you were here, otherwise..."

She recounted what had happened last night to Aunt Huang, and let out a sigh of relief.

"I suspect the shrimp from last night were the same batch as just now."

"They're big, but the shrimp are very light." Aunt Chen slumped into her chair and quickly poured herself a glass of cold water.

Aunt Huang pursed her lips. "Ayan will be back tonight. We'll talk to her then."

The shrimp paste factory refused to accept the large shrimp, and the news spread among the workers after they finished get off work.

There are all sorts of rumors circulating in the village, but they all talk about it in private, and no one dares to say a word in front of Aunt Chen and the others.

…

evening,

The chubby girl rode her bicycle to take Jiaojiao to the village entrance to wait.

"Sister Pearl, is my sister really coming back?" Jiaojiao asked, swinging her short little legs.

The chubby girl took a small cup of bubble tea from the basket and handed it to her.

"Of course, your sister called the day before yesterday and told me, it can't be wrong." The chubby girl glanced at the basket on the front of the bicycle, which contained a large cup of bubble tea for Ah Yan.

She specifically followed Ah Yan's usual order: less ice, more sugar, and more tapioca pearls.

Jiaojiao chewed on the tapioca pearls in her milk tea, nodded, and blinked her round eyes.

The two looked towards the village entrance and craned their necks to watch as the car passed by on the main road.

Seeing that it wasn't him, he sat up straight again, lowered his head, and took a sip of milk tea.

A jeep didn't drive into the village until the sunset painted half the sky.

"elder sister,"

“Ayan,”

The two shouted at the same time.

Lin Ziyan rolled down the car window, saw them, and quickly waved to them.

"I'll get off here and walk back with them," she said, and the car stopped.

The red glow of the sunset shone on her, enveloping her in a halo.

Lu Yun Shen's dark eyes brightened considerably, and he nodded slightly.

Yang Yanzhou glanced at the rearview mirror and his lips twitched.

"Brother Lu,"

"Uncle Yang," Jiaojiao greeted the two of them.

Yang Yanzhou, "..."

She quickly turned her head to glance at the two people in the car, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Jiaojiao stepped forward and took Lin Ziyan's hand, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with a smile.

"Ayan, here's your large cup of bubble tea." The chubby girl quickly handed her the bubble tea from the basket.

Lin Ziyan took a sip of bubble tea and felt all the fatigue from the journey disappear, feeling completely refreshed.

The three of them slowly walked back from the village entrance, their shadows lengthening in the setting sun.

"I'm not that old, so why does Jiaojiao call you brother and me uncle?" Yang Yanzhou looked in the mirror and asked, puzzled.

Lu Yun Shen looked at the three people walking ahead and said, "You have a son now. Is it appropriate for you to call him 'brother' instead of 'uncle'?"

Yang Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that it was a worthwhile deal.
