Fu Yi specially ordered a bottle of red wine and started drinking with Tong Shujia. The wine didn't intoxicate them, but the atmosphere made them drunk—that perfectly describes the two of them.
After finishing his meal, Lin Xiaoyi felt a bit superfluous, because the two of them were practically glued to each other's eyes.
"Mom—" he called softly.
Tong Shujia then looked at her son, realizing that she had indeed gone a bit too far.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to go out and have fun, give me some money." Lin Xiaoyi felt that if he didn't take advantage of him now, when would he?
Tong Shujia didn't want to pay the money, so she glanced at Fu Yi and told him to figure it out himself; the son was his.
The two understood each other without saying a word.
Fu Yi took out his wallet and pulled out a hundred-yuan bill.
Is that enough?
"That's enough!" Lin Xiaoyi thought to himself that this person was really generous.
Fu Yi threw the money over and looked at the child's expression of liking the money. This was really no different from his own back then.
Lin Xiaoyi put the money in his pocket. "Mom, you and Uncle Fu have fun. I'm going out for a walk. I might be back sometime tonight, so don't wait for me."
Tong Shujia called out to her son's retreating figure, "Then be careful out there!"
"Understood!" The voice came from outside.
At this moment, Fu Yi grabbed Tong Shujia's hand.
How have you been these past few years?
"It's nothing special. You know my husband is away from home most of the time. But you don't seem to have changed much." Tong Shujia casually touched the man's face, her gaze drifting downwards.
The reason I was able to have an affair with him for so long was because he was exceptionally talented and more interesting than other men.
Fu Yi couldn't stand the woman's intense gaze any longer, so he pulled her up.
"Let's go back upstairs at the hotel and talk!"
"Wouldn't it be a waste for the waiters outside if we didn't take these dishes with us?" Tong Shujia pouted, thinking that even if we had to throw them away, we shouldn't give them any.
Fu Yi said, "I'll have the waiter pack it up!"
Tong Shujia nodded, then looked at him with deep affection.
The two exchanged a knowing glance.
The waiter quickly packed up the food, and the two of them left hand in hand.
Back in the hotel room, we naturally rolled around in bed, completely lost in the moment and unaware of the time.
——
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Brother Biao has arranged the truck; now all that's left is to collect the apples and pears.
So, at the time they had arranged with Aunt Pang, they drove their big truck to the village entrance.
They found that the simple and honest villagers had been waiting for a long time, each carrying a carrying pole and a basket.
Aunt Pang introduced them to each other, and they got to know each other.
Lu Zhixia then went to the orchard with the village chief, saw the quality of the fruit, and thought it was quite good, so the two sides hit it off immediately.
Everyone took turns picking and weighing the fruit, and they were all very busy.
Lu Zhixia casually picked an apple from the tree, wiped it on her clothes, and then took a bite. It tasted sweet and crisp.
The plump auntie walked over with a smile, looking like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Xiaxia, you have no idea, this is the first time in my life I've been flattered like this. It feels so good."
Lu Zhixia ate the rest of the apple in two bites, then threw the core into the nearby bushes.
"Your good days are yet to come! If the fruit from your village sells well, I'll still contract with you next year!"
The plump auntie squatted on the ground, gazing at the busy crowd not far away.
“It’s not that no one came to buy the fruit before, but the price was so low that there was hardly any profit. It was better for us to carry the fruit out on shoulder poles and sell it ourselves! This year, with you buying the fruit, we’ve solved a huge problem and have a high income.”
Lu Zhixia said, "We complement each other. I don't know how much this batch of fruit can sell for, but I won't let you lose money!"
Auntie Pang, "How long will you be gone on this trip this time?"
Lu Zhixia thought for a moment and said, "At the very least, we need to sell all of this fruit. If we can find the child, that would be even better."
The plump aunt quickly comforted her, saying, "I believe good people will be rewarded, and you will definitely find your child!"
Lu Zhixia thought of her daughter whom she had never met, and she believed that she could succeed, otherwise what would be the point of being reborn?
The village chief walked over, carrying a watermelon and smiling broadly.
"Comrade Lu, you haven't tried the watermelons from our village yet!"
"You even grew watermelons?" Lu Zhixia looked at the huge watermelons, their emerald green rinds resembling winter melons.
Village chief: "Yes! They were newly planted this year, but there aren't many!"
Lu Zhixia thought the watermelons were quite large, and she could smell their fragrance.
Is this melon sweet?
The village chief said with a smile, "Take it back and try it. If you think it tastes good, we'll plant it on a large scale next year."
Lu Zhixia didn't stand on ceremony with the village chief, saying, "Then I'll accept it."
The village chief said, "Besides watermelons, our village has many other things, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and several pigs."
Lu Zhixia looked at the village chief rubbing his hands and said, "I don't need meat right now, but when I open a restaurant in a while, I'll need some chicken, duck, and goose, as well as pork. I can contact you then."
Upon hearing this, the village chief burst into laughter. "Comrade Lu! We've already made it clear that you'll have to give our village priority when the time comes!"
Lu Zhixia said, "I just run a small restaurant, and my needs are limited. If the price is reasonable, we can consider a long-term partnership."
The village chief nodded in agreement, "That's a must. If we're going to cooperate, it has to be a long-term partnership. That's the only way to make it a win-win situation!"
Aunt Pang smiled as she looked at everything before her. Before, her family hadn't been valued in the car, but after this day, their status would definitely rise.
