She had just arrived and was brought here by the housekeeper. When she knocked on the door, she only saw her uncle. Her uncle was not with her aunt and spoke coldly, which made her so cold that she couldn't speak clearly.
Xu Manman was a little surprised. "You guys are picking mushrooms in the mountains? Many places are undeveloped. Be careful of danger."
"It's okay, auntie. We're nearby. We won't be far away."
Yun Yan didn't stay long. After chatting for a few words, he put down the basket and left.
Xu Manman didn't even call out to anyone, and was thinking of staying for a cup of tea. The children would not take the mountain car except when going to and from school, and it was quite tiring to walk up from halfway up the mountain.
However, the basket of mushrooms that Yun Yan brought piqued Xu Manman's interest, and she cooked a mushroom chicken soup and spicy mixed mushrooms herself in the evening.
The next day after breakfast, he carried a basket and went to the orchard behind the manor with Jin Zichu.
A lot of fruits were planted there when it was first built, including bananas, mangoes, grapefruits, oranges, lychees, longans and other tropical fruits.
There are strawberry and watermelon fields on the other side, so it can be said that fruit freedom is completely possible inside the manor.
This is the time to eat lychees and longans. If you want to know when the fruit is freshest, it is of course when it is just picked from the tree.
As soon as he entered the orchard, Xu Manman's fruit head became happy.
Stand under this tree and eat some lychees, go over there and eat some longans. The bananas and mangoes are not ripe yet, so pick them and put them in a basket to take back.
Xu Manman, who returned with a full load, did not forget to tell Jin Zichu to pick lychees and longans and send them to each household in the next two days.
This thing ripens in a short time, but it is difficult to preserve and can only be eaten for a short period of time. The two temples and all the staff in the manor can only eat a few trees combined.
"I've told Chris to pick a few baskets tomorrow morning and send them to Beijing on the earliest flight." Taking a Didi to have fruit delivered sounds easier than drinking water.
However, not only Xu Manman is used to this, but the Xu family in Beijing is also used to it. Seasonal fruits are sent from the Special Administrative Region every season.
However, they didn't think that this matter would be so troublesome. They all thought that Xu Manman bought the expensive fruits from somewhere. Xu Manman didn't tell her family in detail about the manor.
After staying in the mountains for a few more days, Xu Manman finally went down the mountain and prepared to go to Guangzhou to take a look. After all, she was already there.
Today's Guangzhou and the Special Administrative Region are close to the port city and were among the first to open up.
Xu Manman walked on the street, looking at the young people wearing bold and bright clothes and the high-rise buildings that had been built around her. She really had the illusion of dreaming back to the millennium.
There are more and more cars on the streets, and the Cadillac she and Jin Zichu drove today merged into the traffic flow without being conspicuous at all.
When they arrived at the military compound, Pengpeng was sent to his grandparents in Beijing early in the morning. Only Xu Jianbing and his wife were at home.
I thought they were probably busy with work and didn't have much time to entertain them, so I planned to sit for a while and then leave before I came.
Unexpectedly, just as I sat down, a group of senior leaders from the military region came to my eldest brother's house.
"Mr. Jin, Professor Xu, it's true that hearing about them is worse than meeting them in person."
Xu Manman stood beside Jin Zichu and laughed dryly, glancing at Xu Jianbing who was standing behind the leader. What was going on?
Xu Jianbing blinked. He just told his boss that his sister was coming and he wanted to take half a day off, but he didn't expect all these people to come with him.
He still stood up and introduced both parties, mainly to Xu Manman.
Although she had been to the Yangcheng Military Region several times, she was not familiar with her brother's colleagues and leaders.
The leaders came over just to express their condolences in person and report on the whereabouts of the funds.
Of course, when it comes to some confidential projects, all they can tell you is a rough outline.
Xu Manman nodded in understanding. Since her elder brother was watching over her, she was not afraid that the money would be wasted.
Now that everyone is here, it is natural to have a meal together.
So a small family dinner turned into a working meal, which was eaten at the military district guesthouse.
I have to say, the taste is pretty good. There is indeed a difference between small stoves and big pot meals. It is said that the chef of the guesthouse was an ancestor of royal chefs in the palace.
The couple did not stay in the compound at night, but booked a presidential suite at the Yangcheng Garden Hotel.
This hotel is one of the most upscale hotels in Guangzhou, and it is also star-rated. The facilities inside are also representative of Guangzhou, no, China's current luxury.
In Xu Manman's opinion, the luxurious decoration of the presidential suite on the top floor will not be out of date in 20 or 30 years. After all, it is a style that ordinary wealthy people would like.
