Chapter 303 Zhou Ergu's Visit
The next morning, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen began preparing to plant the second batch of oyster mushrooms.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, a Jiefang truck came to the village.
It was quite new to see such a big car coming into the village, and a group of children ran behind the car.
This is the vehicle sent by Nanjie Nonsmoking to transport oyster mushrooms, and Zhou Ergu followed it in person.
She had two purposes for coming here this time. First, she wanted to see the place where oyster mushrooms were grown. Second, she felt that although the Tan Chen couple were young, they were not simple people, so it was a sign of friendship.
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen were preparing the cultivation medium in their yard at the moment when they heard the sound of cars and children making noise outside.
Tan Chen stood up first and walked to the gate. Zhou Ergu saw him at a glance and quickly told the driver to stop the car.
"Director Zhou, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Please come in." Tan Chen took the initiative to greet him.
Zhou Ergu didn't hesitate and followed Tan Chen into the yard.
As soon as she entered the yard, she was stunned.
Zhou Ergu could never have imagined that there was such a nice yard in the countryside.
There are high courtyard walls, imposing brick and tile houses, and the ground in the yard is paved with blue bricks. The yard is kept clean and tidy.
Shang Ruoting also walked to the door to greet him: "Director Zhou, please come in and sit down."
Zhou Ergu didn't hesitate and followed Shang Ruoting into the house.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tan Chen and Zhou Ergu took the driver to the wasteland to load mushrooms. Old Mrs. Shang was also in the backyard looking at the crops that were growing well. Only Shang Ruoting and Zhou Ergu were left in the house.
When Zhou Ergu walked into the house, she liked it even more.
The structure of the entire house is completely different from the ordinary ones, and the furniture is also very novel.
Shang Ruoting knew that Zhou Ergu was looking at the furnishings in the room, so she didn't urge her and just sat quietly beside her.
Zhou Ergu looked around before she came to her senses.
"Is your house newly built?"
Shang Ruoting smiled and nodded: "It was built last year."
Zhou Ergu continued to inquire, "Where did you hire such a talented person to build such a unique house? And these furniture are not available on the market."
Shang Ruoting pushed all of this onto Tan Chen: "These were all designed by my Tan Chen. He really put a lot of thought into it."
When Zhou Ergu heard that it was designed by Tan Chen, her eyes lit up instantly: "I didn't expect that Comrade Tan Chen is so talented."
After she finished speaking, she pondered for a moment before speaking, "I wonder if Comrade Tan Chen will accept the job of building a house?"
Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen had never considered this. After all, they lived in the countryside and the people around them didn't have much money. Even if they were building a house, they wouldn't be willing to spend money and effort like their family did.
However, seeing Zhou Ergu asking this, Shang Ruoting guessed that the other party must be planning to build a house.
Shang Ruoting didn't know whether Tan Chen was willing to help others build houses. This question still depended on Tan Chen's own wishes.
"Hehe... Director Zhou, you might as well ask him when you see him later."
Zhou Ergu also knew that if she asked this question suddenly, the other party would definitely not be prepared: "Okay, I'll ask him later."
"My son is getting married at the end of the year, and our house is a bit old, so I want to renovate it."
"Now that I see how beautiful your house is, I suddenly have the idea of ​​rebuilding it. I know you're all very busy, so I just asked casually. It's okay if Tan Chen doesn't want to."
The two chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Shang came back from the backyard.
When she saw that there were guests at home, she warmly invited them to stay for lunch.
Seeing that the old man invited her sincerely, Zhou Ergu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Zhou Ergu liked her home so much, Shang Ruoting first took her to the greenhouse in her backyard to take a look. Some vegetables there were already ripe.
Although it is the end of the season, many naturally grown vegetables are not yet mature. What you can see on the market now are some leafy green vegetables such as spinach, leeks, and bok choy.
In the greenhouse of Shang Ruoting's house, the cucumbers and eggplants were already ripe, and many strawberries were also ripe, which surprised Zhou Ergu again.
Shang Ruoting took a few quick steps, picked a small basket of strawberries and handed it to Zhou Ergu: "Director Zhou, these strawberries are delicious. Take them back and try them."
Zhou Ergu is no stranger to strawberries. Her future daughter-in-law works in a textile factory. When she came to their house on New Year's Day, she brought several big strawberries.
The strawberries tasted so good, especially in the cold winter. Being able to taste such delicious fruits was something Zhou Ergu would never forget.
