Chapter 309 The two have become close friends regardless of age
With a plan in mind, the two picked some vegetables and strawberries in the greenhouse and brought them to Zhou Ergu as gifts. They borrowed a tractor from the team and headed straight to Zhuang City.
The couple went directly to South Street Grocery Store.
Just like the last time they came with Zhou Yuan, they walked into the office area from the back door and knocked on Zhou Ergu's office door.
When Zhou Ergu opened the door and saw Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"Tan Chen, Ruoting, please come in. I didn't expect you to come so soon. Have you dealt with your family matters?"
Shang Ruoting placed the gift she had brought on the table and replied with a smile, "Everything at home has been taken care of for the time being. Tan Chen was worried that you were anxious about building the house, so he took some time to come and see me."
Zhou Ergu was obviously also impatient: "I happen to be free right now, so I'll take you to see the place where I want to build the house."
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen followed Zhou Ergu to their family’s homestead.
The yard is not small, but the house is indeed a bit dilapidated, and it looks like no one has lived there for a long time.
Aunt Zhou Er introduced: "This is our old house. It has been empty since my mother-in-law passed away."
"I originally wanted to renovate it, but after seeing your house, I changed my mind."
"Tan Chen, look at the place where I live. Can I build a house like yours?"
Tan Chen looked around and replied, "Director Zhou, your place is bigger, enough to build four rooms."
He had seen many courtyard-style buildings in the capital. If Zhou Ergu's family had enough money, they could enclose the entire yard in the form of a courtyard, but he didn't say it.
Considering the current working class, Zhou Ergu's family conditions seem to be pretty good, but it would be difficult to build such a big yard.
Seeing that Tan Chen already had a plan in mind, Zhou Ergu also expressed her own thoughts.
"I do plan to build four rooms. When we retire, we can move in and help them take care of the children."
"Tan Chen, just be bold with your design. It's fine if the style is similar to your house. A house like that makes people feel comfortable living in it."
Tan Chen nodded, took a ruler and started measuring, while also making a record of the measurements.
Tan Chen was writing and calculating there all the time, and Shang Ruoting couldn't understand it, so she just chatted with Zhou Ergu.
The topic that Zhou Ergu wants to talk about most now is the fresh crops in Shang Ruoting's home.
"Ruoting, I'll definitely visit your house when I get a chance. I feel so relaxed there."
"Haha... Director Zhou is welcome to come to my house with anyone." Shang Ruoting invited sincerely.
Zhou Ergu also said that after some oyster mushrooms were sold at the South Street Food Store, the response was particularly good, and many repeat customers came back to buy them. They are now out of stock. Now they can only hope that when the second batch of oyster mushrooms from Shang Ruoting's home matures, they will be hot-selling again.
At the same time, Zhou Ergu was also looking forward to the other crops in Shang Ruoting's family to mature so that they could be sold to Nanjie Grocery Store as soon as possible to open up a new market.
Shang Ruoting has never worried about selling the crops produced in her greenhouse, but with such a buyer in the county, she feels a lot less worried. In the future, whenever she wants to sell her own crops, she can send them to Nanjie Nonsmoking Store.
The more they talked, the more they felt they got along. Zhou Ergu was very fond of Shang Ruoting's confident and eloquent manner.
Shang Ruoting also likes Zhou Ergu's cheerful and unpretentious personality, and the two of them have become a pair of friends regardless of age.
While they were talking excitedly, Tan Chen had also finished the measurement.
"Director Zhou, I already have some rough data. I'll design two plans for you in the next few days. If everything looks good, just prepare the materials as shown on the blueprint."
Zhou Ergu said gratefully, "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Tan Chen. Just go ahead and do it. I believe in your vision and ability."
"It's getting late. I'll treat you to dinner before you go back."
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were both thinking about hatching chickens and ducks, so they politely declined Zhou Ergu's kindness.
Seeing that the two were really anxious, Zhou Ergu did not try to persuade them to stay.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen left Zhou Ergu's old house and drove a tractor home.
When they came, they had already chosen a place to hatch the chickens and ducks, which was near the abandoned house in Fengxian County where they had once grown strawberries.
Not only is there a sparsely populated area, but it is also sheltered by walls, making it perfect for Shang Ruoting to do some secret tasks.
When they arrived at their destination, they chose a place with good lighting and sheltered from the wind.
Shang Ruoting took out chicken eggs and duck eggs from the space. These were fertilized eggs that she had specially collected. As long as they were blessed with spiritual spring water, chicks and ducklings would hatch soon.
