He Xuebin drove the truck carefully on the small road from Director Liu's house to the abandoned house, for fear that if he was not steady, the sand dates on the truck would fall to the ground.
The short distance of a few hundred meters was instantly reduced to the speed of riding a bicycle.
Song Tiantian looked at the scene outside the car, which seemed to be motionless, and couldn't help but look at Lu Chuanbei: "Dad, I think we can just walk."
"Well, maybe it's not going fast enough." This is an accurate complaint from his own son.
He Xuebin was driving at a speed of 20 mph, but he still tried to defend himself: "I'm just being careful, you know what I mean!"
"But it's true that walking is faster than driving." As soon as He Jingnian finished speaking, several staff members who followed behind walked past them.
That’s right, just walk.
Seeing this, He Xuebin felt terrible, but just when he wanted to speed up, the abandoned house was already in front of him.
He Xuebin stopped the car quickly with regret (and relief).
Fang Xiuzhu heard the noise and came out to see Lu Chuanbei and the others getting out of the car. He looked at the car and the pile of saxauls in the back and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Xiao Lu, what's going on with this car and the saxauls?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the little ones and said, "Also, where's Jiajia? Didn't you guys go out together just now? Why isn't she here?"
"The car can only seat five people, so we pawned Jia Jia to our next-door neighbor as payment for borrowing the car." He Xuebin got out of the car jokingly.
"What did you say?" Xu Qi, upon hearing the noise, climbed up from under the shed in the yard and quickly looked at He Xuebin: "You mortgaged Jia Jia to the neighbors? Just to borrow a car?"
[Oh, this is a joke!]
[Dabin is finished, Director Xu's face changed! ]
[Of course, any father would be upset to hear that his daughter had been pawned off to a neighbor.]
[Indeed, after all, anyone who hears this will misunderstand...]
So, can anyone explain to me what exactly is going on? I just didn't watch the live broadcast this morning. What happened?
"Yeah, what's going on with Jiajia? Could it be that Dabin and the others pawned her off to a neighbor just to borrow a car?"
[The person who just came up above wouldn't say this if he had only taken a look at Jia Jia's live studio.]
【I'll go check it out right now! 】
A large number of netizens who were unaware of the inside story flocked into Xu Anjia's live broadcast room, and then saw Xu Anjia, a familiar female director, Director Liu and others sitting on an exotic wool blanket, watching TV and eating fruits. They couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
So, this is what is called being mortgaged?
"Now I understand why Dabin and the others mortgaged Jiajia here. I can handle this kind of mortgage treatment!"
[Oh my goodness, so the next-door neighbor is Director Liu?]
[Now I understand why Dabin isn't worried at all and can even joke around...]
At the same time, Xu Qi also learned from the explanations of He Xuebin and Lu Chuanbei that the neighbor's house next door was the residence rented by Director Liu and others.
The so-called mortgage was a stopgap measure used by Director Liu to obtain the exchange vouchers after he had cheated them out of a fortune.
Lu Chuanbei looked at him and said, "Brother Xu, if you're worried, we can use the exchange voucher to get Jia Jia back now."
"What do you want to change?" Xu Qi's expression changed instantly: "Jia Jia is with Director Liu, will Director Liu treat her badly?"
"Ah?" Lu Chuanbei looked at him without reacting.
Xu Qi smiled at Lu Chuanbei and the others and said, "Aren't you guys still going to the town to sell saxaul? Hurry up and go early. Lao Fang and I are here."
"What about Jiajia?" Song Tiantian looked towards where Director Liu and the others lived. "What about Jiajia?"
"Don't worry, Jiajia will live well with Director Liu." Xu Qi was not worried at all that Xu Anjia would be abused.
[Indeed, Jia Jia is indeed living well with Director Liu]
"Yeah, I get to drink juice, watch TV, and even eat snacks. This treatment is just like being at home."
[Niannian must not know what he missed, otherwise he would have stayed at Director Liu's place to watch TV and eat snacks...]
He Jingnian, who didn't know what he had missed, was now getting back into the car and heading to the town with Lu Chuanbei and the others.
The village where they live is only about ten minutes' drive from the town.
The town is not big, but it has everything you need for food, clothing, and transportation.
and……
He Xuebin saw several carts selling saxauls before he even reached the town, and his heart sank. "With so many people selling saxauls, how can we sell the ones on our cart?"
"Even without them, our saxaul wouldn't be easy to sell, right?"
"That's true."
The car stopped at a vegetable market in the town, where we saw several fruit stalls. On every stall, we could see sand dates and sea buckthorn fruits.
Lu Chuanbei was concerned about fruits, while He Xuebin, like the other little guys next to him, was attracted by the dazzling array of snack stalls beside the vegetable market.
"This fried cake looks delicious."
"I think the mutton noodles are still delicious."
"There are also baked buns and wontons!" Song Tiantian said happily, pointing to the baked bun shop not far from the snack stand.
"Come on, I'll take you to buy some!" He Xuebin said as he was about to take the little guys to the snack stand in front.
"Do you have money?" Xiangfangnan's words directly poured a bucket of cold water on He Xuebin and others who wanted to go to the snack stall for a big meal.
Or the kind with ice.
He Xuebin shivered from the cold!
[These words truly are a blow from the soul! ]
[It's a shame that Dabin just looked like he was about to rush into the snack stand and eat everything, but he turned out to be a poor guy with not a dollar in his pocket.]
[This is tragic. This is truly tragic.]
[Pfft... Sorry, Dabin's expression is just too funny.]
At this moment, Fang Xiuzhu, who was stacking the intact yellow bricks to one side of the abandoned house, suddenly thought of something and stood up: "Oh, I forgot to give Xiao Lu and the others some money."
[Pfft... This sentence comes too late. Dabin and the others have no money to buy food right now. They are almost crying with greed!]
[Not really, not really. This could be crying out of greed, this is clearly crying out of poverty!]
[This is just the beginning. If they can't even sell the saxauls, then...]
[Don't say such cruel things, or I'll laugh out loud in the meeting, which will be bad.]
Lu Chuanbei looked at He Xuebin, who came back with the children in a dejected manner, and couldn't help but comfort him: "It's okay, we will make money from buying saxaul later, and we will have enough time to go out for snacks."
"It's still in time, but we have to sell them first." He Xuebin looked at their cart full of saxauls and the nearly untouched saxauls on the nearby fruit stalls, and his heart sank even more.
"I've got a bad feeling about this."
"Don't say such discouraging words. We still have hope."
As soon as Lu Chuanbei finished speaking, someone noticed them and said, "Wait, he really seems to be Lu Chuanbei?"
"And sweet Nan Nan!"
As soon as Amina came out of the vegetable market, she saw a truck parked at the entrance of the market. When she saw the saxauls loaded in the truck, Amina was still wondering who was so desperate to bring the saxauls here to sell, when she saw Lu Chuanbei getting off the truck.
At first, she thought she had seen it wrong.
But after seeing Song Tiantian and the others, Amina realized that she had met the production crew who brought her father to the countryside!
When she thought of this, Amina couldn't stand still.
"Brother Lu and Brother He, hello, I am your fan."
[Hearing this, I know he's a long-time fan! ]
[Hahaha, I'm afraid they're going to ruin the word 'fans'!]
Amina laughed when she said this: "But, I am really a fan of yours, especially Tiantian. I watch every one of your live broadcasts!"
"Really?" Song Tiantian looked at her with joy.
"Really? I've been following you since the beginning. If I hadn't had guests over today, I'd definitely be at home watching your livestream!" Amina glanced at the truck behind them and said, "But what's going on?"
"That's what you see. We're here to sell saxaul." He Xuebin grabbed a handful of saxaul from the car and handed it to her: "Here, do you want to have some?"
"No, no." Amina quickly shook her head. "Just give me five, no, ten pounds."
"Ten pounds?" He Xuebin looked at her in surprise: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, you don't have to buy saxaul because of us. We can sell it slowly. It's okay."
"Yes, don't be impulsive. You can't finish ten kilograms of sand dates in a short time."
"It doesn't matter. If we can't finish them, we can dry them in the sun. The saxauls here are delicious even when dried." Although Amina didn't watch the live broadcast this morning, she knew that this truckload of saxauls must be related to their mission.
For this, she also needs to support it.
Just like that, Lu Chuanbei and his team opened their first business.
For this purpose, Lu Chuanbei also asked Director Liu through the drone. After knowing that they were allowed to set the price themselves, he went to the fruit stall to inquire about the price of the sand dates sold there.
When Lu Chuanbei heard that fresh saxaul here only cost one yuan per pound, he really wanted to buy them all with his own money!
After all, such a big and good saxaul is only sold for one dollar, which is really a bargain!
Not only Lu Chuanbei was shocked by the price, but netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also shocked by the price.
I knew the saxauls here were cheap, but I had no idea they could be this cheap!
[A pound of sand dates costs one yuan, but I'm selling them for seven or eight yuan here!]
[Oh my god, I'm going to Xinjiang right now to realize the freedom of the Elaeagnus angustifolia!]
[I'm so envious! Are these prices real? Are there still things that cost one yuan per pound in this day and age?]
[For this price, I can order 100 kilograms! ]
[I can buy the whole car! ]
