"I think the risk is too great. Doing business is not that easy."
Hearing this, Old Xu frowned, "You can't say that. Do you know how capable Ru Feng's wife is in Hecheng?"
The last time the train broke the tracks, Old Xu went there with Huo Rufeng and met Shen Anan once. Not only that, he also heard a lot of things about Shen Anan.
Not to mention that he opened two restaurants that became the most famous restaurants in Hecheng, he even helped the people in Xiaohegou and Wangjiazhuang to get rid of poverty and become rich. This kind of person can't be regarded as an ordinary person!
"She is so young, how could she do such things?!"
Zeng Qingqing's eyes were full of surprise. Who could have imagined such a thing? He looks younger than me, but he can do so many things?
This is so awesome!
"She must be from a good family, right? Who can do such a thing as me?"
Zeng Qingqing sighed.
She couldn't help but sigh. She thought, if she also had a good family background, would she be able to be as powerful as others?
Not to mention helping two villages out of poverty and becoming rich, and not to mention opening two restaurants, just opening one restaurant would be okay, right?
"I don't know about that, but her family background should not be too bad. She has such vision and ability, which must have been cultivated since she was a child."
Old Xu couldn't help but feel emotional.
"So, do you think I should work with An An? She said she wanted to go to Guangcheng, and I'm a little scared..."
Zeng Qingqing held her chin with her hands, her eyes full of confusion.
All her life, she did whatever her parents and elders told her to do and rarely made her own decisions.
After hearing this, Old Xu was also a little hesitant.
"Let's take a look first."
In fact, Old Xu also felt that his wife was not cut out for business. She was too stubborn and people who did business were all very cunning. He was afraid that if his wife followed them in business, she would lose all her money.
The two chatted until midnight before falling asleep.
On the other side, Shen Anan and Huo Rufeng stayed awake all night...
The next morning, Huo Rufeng went out early. He had just returned from a mission and had to attend a meeting in the army today.
As for Shen Anan, she naturally went to bed late and didn’t wake up until noon.
When I woke up, I found an aluminum lunch box on the table in the hall. When I opened it, I found hot rice and a note next to it -
"Remember to eat when you wake up. The food in the lunch box is from the army cafeteria. I have a meeting in the afternoon and I expect to be back before dinner."
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and Shen Anan recognized it at a glance as being written by Huo Rufeng.
But what a coincidence, the rice was still hot, it seemed that he had just brought it back not long ago.
Shen Anan didn't have much appetite, so she ate a little and put it aside.
Although he was not short of money or tickets, he was now in the military district, and there were so many eyes watching him. There were so many people short of food and various things. If he threw away the leftovers, he didn't know what people would say.
Although she didn't care what others said, this kind of thing would eventually affect Huo Rufeng. Besides, she was not a person who would waste food, so she simply kept it.
Fortunately, the weather is relatively cool today. If it were the same as yesterday, we would not be able to keep the food.
Looks like I need to get a dog.
Just as I was thinking about it, Zeng Qingqing came.
"I guessed that you were home alone. Old Xu went to a meeting. Your Rufeng also went to a meeting, right? It just so happens that the fruit trees I planted on the mountain should be ripe. I'll take you to taste them!"
Zeng Qingqing said excitedly.
Yesterday, An An was so generous that he bought such a big piece of meat for her to eat together. You said that you would feel bad if you didn't return the favor, but you had no money in your pocket. Besides, your husband Lao Xu also said that she was capable and it didn't matter if she bought meat for every meal, but fruit might be difficult to get. She thought about it for a whole morning and decided to take her to her secret base.
“You also grow fruit?”
Shen Anan was a little stunned.
"Shh!"
Zeng Qingqing quickly asked Shen Anan to speak in a low voice, and then looked around. Fortunately, Shen Anan lived in a yard by herself, otherwise if others heard it, it would be over.
"I planted them secretly and didn't dare tell anyone. Although there aren't many bad people here, there are always people who can't stand you eating more than her, so I don't dare tell anyone about this!"
The voice was as quiet as a fly, and with the accent, Shen Anan couldn't hear it clearly, but she roughly guessed what it meant.
But she was a little curious why Zeng Qingqing dared to tell her?
But he didn't talk about it for the moment. He followed Zeng Qingqing to the mountain. After many twists and turns, he finally arrived. When Shen Anan looked, he found that it was a lychee orchard.
Zeng Qingqing put a lot of effort into this litchi orchard, personally taking care of every step from seed selection and cultivation to care. She knew that although the lychee orchard provided her with food, it also posed many risks. It is a sensitive matter to open up wasteland and cultivate land without permission. If she is reported, she will lose her lychee orchard. So, she has been very cautious, fearing that others will know.
Shen Anan followed behind Zeng Qingqing, and seeing her sneaky appearance, she understood a little bit.
At this moment, Zeng Qingqing stopped, turned around, and whispered, "An An, I will only tell you this, don't tell anyone else."
Shen Anan nodded. She knew that Zeng Qingqing trusted her.
Zeng Qingqing led Shen Anan into the litchi garden, where they saw the litchi trees standing tall, with bright red litchis hidden among the green leaves. She reached out and gently picked a plump lychee into her hand. She handed it to Shen Anan: "Come, try it, I planted it myself."
Shen Anan took it, peeled off the red shell of the lychee, revealing the crystal clear flesh, and took a bite. The taste was sweet and sour, and the juice was overflowing. "Qingqing, you planted these lychees really well. They are so sweet!"
Hearing this, Zeng Qingqing showed a smug smile on her face, but soon turned serious again: "An An, I know you are not a petty person, so I dare to tell you. I am afraid that if others know, I will lose my lychee orchard."
Shen Anan nodded while eating lychees: "Qingqing, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."
Zeng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Shen Anan was a real person and would not speak nonsense. She picked a few more handfuls of lychees and handed them to Shen Anan: "Take a few more and bring them back later for your Rufeng to try. I've brought the bamboo basket with me. Let's cover it with a cloth so no one knows. If anyone asks, just say you bought it in the city!"
Seeing this, Shen Anan was not polite and took the lychee. The two sat under the lychee tree, eating and chatting.
As we chatted, the topic turned to going to Guangcheng.
"An An, are you really going to Guangcheng?"
