Chapter 384: Intent on Making Friends
From chatting along the way, Chuxue learned that the driver Wu Youfu came to Beijiao Farm to transport live pigs once or twice a month. Every time, the finance department would send an officer to coordinate the accounts receivable and payable. Her aunt Wu Lianzhen was from the finance department, but someone like her, who had experience as an old hand, rarely came out with them on weekdays.
If Kong Yizhang hadn't requested it today, his partner would have been a gay man.
Thinking that having more friends would give me more opportunities, in case I need them in the future: "Auntie, Brother Wu, how long have you been staying at the North Suburb Farm?"
Wu Youfu smiled and answered casually: "It will be very quick. It will take less than an hour. Once the truck arrives there, it will be weighed and loaded."
Chu Xue understood what was going on. She watched the car turn around and leave, then ran home.
I originally wanted to use the cross-body bag on my back as a cover to give each of them a melon produced in the farm, but after thinking about it, I decided not to. Knowing that they would be staying at the North Suburb Farm for an hour, this would be easy.
He didn't take the main road, but went around the threshing ground and then took a small path back home.
Everyone in the family had gone to work, and the front door was locked. After opening the door with the key, he went into the kitchen, picked up a basket, and went to the private plot at the back.
Although the fruits and vegetables grown in her private plot did not taste as good as those grown in the space, they were much better than those grown in other people's homes. After all, she would add some water from the pond in the space for watering from time to time.
I had just picked fruits for the Qiu family, so I was picking what I could, a little bit of everything, and stopped when I filled a basket.
Seeing that it was not too late, he went back to soak the sorghum rice first, and prepared to come back later to mix it with millet to make two kinds of rice. Then he locked the door, took the path around to the threshing ground, and waited at the fork in the road leading to the North Suburb Farm.
Wu Youfu was right. After waiting for a while, she saw a car driving out from a distance.
Wu Lianzhen saw someone standing at the intersection and said, "Youfu, look, that person standing at the intersection is Chuxue who took our car back."
It was getting dark, and Wu Youfu carefully identified it and said, "It's true. Second Aunt, you have a really good eye."
Wu Youfu was a careful person and he started to slow down when there was still some distance to go. After all, this was all dirt road and the car would stir up a lot of dust when it passed by, so it was better to slow down.
After the car stopped, Chu Xue walked forward with a smile and said, "Auntie, Brother Wu, these are fruits and vegetables grown by my family. Thank you for your help. They are not valuable, so please don't despise them."
Wu Lianzhen smiled with curved eyebrows: "Oh, you are really polite, don't mention that Captain Kong gave us benefits, even if we didn't, the unit leader said so, how dare we disobey, don't you think?"
Chu Xue smiled and handed the basket in. "I don't have much to give as a country boy, but this is just a token of my appreciation. It's getting late, so I won't delay your journey."
Wu Lianzhen saw the juicy vegetables in the basket and said, "The gift may be small, but the thought is great. Besides, such fresh vegetables are rare in the city. We are shameless enough to accept them. If you have any problems in the future, please come to the meat processing factory to find us."
Chuxue smiled brightly, waiting for these words.
After watching the car go away, she walked towards the village entrance and into the village.
It was time to get off work, and from time to time someone would talk to her: "Chuxue, where have you been?"
"Aunt, I'm going into the city now. I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and cook."
As soon as Chuxue left, the auntie who asked the question said, "Don't say more, as if no one wants to talk to you. It's been a long time since graduation, and she still has to work in the fields to earn work points like everyone else. If the secretary hadn't taken care of her behind the scenes, I'm afraid she wouldn't even have a place in the village primary school."
