Chapter 278 Drawing Lots
After the seven-day cycle, this batch of ripe yellow peaches and grapes were taken over by the people brought by Jiang Tingting.
The subsequent picking and processing work has nothing to do with Huang Xinran.
Huang Xinran roughly calculated that this batch of fruit weighed about 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms, and she had completed one third of this year's task.
Just wait for two more seven-day cycles to come, and this year's mission will be completed.
It just so happened that she received her salary for last month.
Seeing the 1,000 yuan in the bank account, she was very happy after taking it: "Last month's salary has come down. This is good, and it happens to be my mother's birthday in two days. How about we go out and have fun as a family for a day?"
"Where are you going for fun?"
"You guys can go wherever you want to have fun. I'm fine with that."
"Okay, let's go back and ask the two kids what they think."
After the two children came home from school and found out, they actually gave up going to the zoo and the park and instead chose to go to the temple they had visited last time.
"The school took us to the zoo and the park, but they were not fun. Why don't we go to the temple? It's much more fun there."
"Choose not to have a temple, but to have a temple..."
"Then I won't go to the zoo or the park. It's not fun at all. It's far and tiring..."
Yaya and Maomao didn't want to go.
"Since they want to go somewhere closer, then they can go. It would save them the trouble of walking too far."
"Okay..."
Now that everyone has expressed their opinions, Huang Xinran immediately began to prepare the things he would need to bring for the trip.
At least two umbrellas are needed, so that you can take shelter from the rain if it rains. There is also a backpack, a water bottle, mosquito repellent, various snacks, etc. It is not too much, but I still filled two large bags.
On Zhang Wenbi's birthday, the whole family got up early in the morning and prepared to set off after breakfast.
Liu Zhaodi also set aside a day to go out and play with them.
Not only that, Liang Wei, Sun Ya, and An Lan also came over to join in the fun, saying that the more people there are, the more fun it is.
Liang Wei drove over, but one car could only hold a limited number of people, so he had to drive another car to accommodate the rest. Therefore, Liang Wei set his sights on Huang Xinran's car parked on the side of the road.
Huang Xinran had originally planned to return the car in a day or two, but unfortunately, she was unable to contact the two elderly people.
It’s not that we can’t get in touch, but Jiang Tingting, who is responsible for delivering the message, always has countless excuses to delay.
For this reason, the car is still parked on the side of the road.
"Drive this car? No, you can't move it!"
Huang Xinran rejected her proposal to drive the car.
"Why not? Sister Ranran, you cooperated with them to make those longevity health products, wasn't it just to make more money and improve your life? Now that you have a car to travel, why not drive it?"
"This is a company car. I can't take it."
Huang Xinran knew that although Liang Wei didn't say it, he, Sun Ya, and An Lan showed up at the same time, which clearly showed that he had a sense of urgency. He was afraid that he would abandon them after starting a company with someone else. Or, indirectly, the fruits and vegetables they provided would lose their previous great appeal.
"This is the car assigned to you by your company. Why don't you take it? Well, if you're worried about something else, just let me drive it. I happen to have a driver's license."
"Liang Wei, I..."
"It's settled!"
Liang Wei didn't wait for her to say anything else and made the final decision.
Huang Xinran was also helpless. Forget it. It was just a car. As Liang Wei said, since it was a means of transportation provided by the company, it could be considered as a welfare benefit. It was indeed nothing. However, Jiang Tingting had to write it down in black and white in the original contract to avoid any more accidents.
So, Liang Wei drove the sedan, and the seven-seater car that Liang Wei drove was given to Sun Ya to drive.
Sun Ya also had a driving license, and the group drove two cars straight to the temple.
Maybe it was because there were so many people, but when we went out together, everything was really fun.
The two children were so excited that they ran back and forth, and from time to time they bought some snacks and small gifts to bring back to present to Huang Xinran.
Huang Xinran had been selling box lunches at the foot of the mountain for a long time. Although she stopped selling the business herself, she still arranged for someone to continue running the business here, and Zhang Wenbi was in charge of looking after it.
But now, two years have passed, and the original stall has become a small shop at the foot of the mountain.
Not only that, there is also a branch on the mountain.
After they arrived, they naturally stayed in the branch to eat and rest.
It's our own restaurant anyway, so it doesn't matter how much you eat.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Liu Zhaodi actually went to the fortune-telling office to draw lots.
"Mom, why did you think of coming here to draw lots? Isn't everyone fine? I didn't expect you to be so superstitious." Huang Xinran said with a smile. Of course, she didn't really mean that her mother was superstitious, she was just joking.
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhaodi sighed and shook her head: "Everything is fine everywhere, your second brother... forget it."
“…”
Yes, after the second brother went to the army, there was news when he first joined the army. Later, there was no news. Huang Zhiye deliberately ignored the news of the second brother because of a gambling temper. At that time, she was also betrayed by a scumbag, and then she got married exhaustedly. She was so busy that she really forgot about her second brother.
After she was reborn, she asked many people to find out the whereabouts of her second brother, including Lu Yunchen, but there was still no news.
In fact, there was no news about his second brother until Huang Xinran was diagnosed with cancer in prison and was released on medical parole and before he died.
After her rebirth in this life, she began to look for her second brother, but she still had no idea where he was.
This also made her gradually forget the existence of her second brother.
After all, to her, there was already a distance of several decades between her and her second brother.
But in Liu Zhaodi's mind, it happened several years ago.
"Mom, don't be sad. Ask the master and see if you can find the whereabouts of my second brother. I believe in my second brother, he must still be alive. He is living somewhere and waiting for us to find him!"
Huang Xinran encouraged her. Watching her mother draw the lots and then ask the master to interpret them, she couldn't help but recall many things from her past life.
For example, some captured young girls were sold to remote mountains and forests to give birth to children for old bachelors.
For example, there are some young guys whose limbs are broken, who pretend to be disabled and go to the streets to beg for money.
For example, according to legend, in a certain southern region, there are still kidneys and even organs such as hearts...
All the bad things went through her mind and she couldn't help but sigh.
If my second brother really encountered some kind of accident, it would be impossible to find any clues after so many years, right?
Poor mother, she has a loving heart.
Liu Zhaodi's eyes were full of hope. She took the fortune slip to the master for interpretation. "Master, please help me. I want to find someone. Can you take a look at this fortune slip?"
