Chapter 297 Huang Ling's Trip
After getting off the bus, the three said goodbye.
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hand: "Go back quickly!"
"Dad, remember to buy some food and clean up the house. Brother Yiming is getting married on the fifth day of the New Year and you've been invited. Remember to go!" Tuanan instructed again.
"I know, I remember that your aunt should have come back by then, and we went together." Zhuang Chaoying replied.
Li Yiming sent the invitation before the New Year, inviting the whole family, so Zhuang Chaoying felt that Zhu Xiuyu would come back at the latest on the fourth day of the New Year.
Tunan and Pengfei talked as they walked.
"Brother, why do you want to return the red envelope to grandma?" Pengfei asked.
Tunan looked at him. He thought his actions were relatively covert and no one saw them.
"Oh, it's okay. She never gives me red envelopes. Even if she does, it's only a dime or two. I don't care." Pengfei was very calm.
"Because from now on, we can only give them favors, and we can no longer receive their favors," Tunan explained. "Every favor we receive will become a hand strangling our necks in the future."
Although Pengfei was a few years younger, he understood as soon as Tunan said it.
"My dad and aunt have made their attitude towards them very clear. The benefits they can get will be very few, so their targets have shifted. Now it's me, and in the future it will be you. Even Xiaoting will be their target of kidnapping with family affection."
"Brother, Xiaoting, you don't have to worry. Believe me, she is a Pixiu." Pengfei said firmly.
Tunan took a moment to understand, then smiled and said, "You've been quite smart lately."
"I didn't say that! It was Aunt Huang who said that. I wouldn't dare say anything about her," Pengfei said honestly. "You don't have to worry about what I say, because I'm not as capable as you. But, brother, I understand what you said."
As soon as I got home, Huang Ling came up to me and asked, "Was the battle intense? What was the result?"
"It didn't come to a war. We narrowly won the game," Tunan replied.
"Ah, don't we have to fight every time we go to the dealer?" Huang Ling didn't believe it.
Then it can't be wrong to make the money, so I asked:
"Don't lie to me, I didn't suffer any loss!"
"Auntie Huang, really not. Today is quite harmonious." Pengfei also responded.
"I heard from Sister Yu that they've been quite restless lately! I'm quite worried."
"Yes, in order to reduce two years of work, he was cheated out of three hundred dollars, so he was in a good mood and did not fight with us." Tunan said truthfully.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Scammers nowadays are really smart. They don't want too much even if it's too much." Huang Ling nodded.
"The situation is very strict now. These people are really bold to commit crimes against the law. When I leave, Pengfei, you better be careful. After they know they have been cheated, they will definitely come to our house to cause trouble." Tuanan instructed Pengfei again.
"And those few who came today will probably come again." Pengfei replied.
Huang Ling immediately pricked up her ears.
"As soon as we got home, Aunt Zhu and Uncle came to look for us and kicked us out," Pengfei told her.
Huang Ling finally knew where the money came from. It turned out that it was contributed by Lao Deng. She said worriedly:
"You didn't do it!"
"My brother was poured away by a bucket of cold water." Pengfei made a gesture of pouring water.
Tunan said dissatisfiedly: "Pengfei, can't you just say that you didn't do anything? Don't you care about my image?"
"Hahahaha, sometimes it's okay not to care about your image, as long as you don't suffer any loss!" Huang Ling was relieved now. It seemed that the people she was criticizing were not the dealer but these people.
…
On the fourth day of the New Year, Zhu Xiu Yu and Hong Bin arrived home, but it was already dark when they got there.
The pickup truck stopped at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Wenfu went down to help the two with their luggage.
"Master Chen, thank you for your hard work!" Zhu Xiu Yu thanked him and took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Chen Wenfu's hand.
Chen Wenfu quickly refused: "I can't accept this. A Ling paid me for driving the car."
Zhu Xiuyu stuffed it back in: "Hers is hers, mine is mine. I heard that drivers need to give a red envelope on their first trip during the Chinese New Year. It's auspicious, so that the driving will go smoothly all year round. You can't refuse it!"
Hearing her say this, Chen Wenfu had no choice but to accept it:
"Thank you, Sister Zhu."
"Master Chen, is there anyone to help unload the goods when we return to the factory? Do you want me to help?" Hong Bin asked with concern, thinking about the carriage full of local specialties in the carriage.
"Yes, the factory started working on the second day of the New Year. There are people here. You have been tired all day, so you should rest early." Chen Wenfu replied.
The two watched Chen Wenfu drive away.
Zhu Xiu Yu wanted to pick up the bags on the ground, but Hong Bin snatched them away, holding two in each hand, and picked up all four bags and walked home.
"After attending Manager Li's wedding tomorrow, I'll go to wish your Aunt Huang a happy new year. Thanks to her for arranging the delivery truck to pick us up, otherwise we might not be able to come back in two days." Zhu Xiu Yu sighed.
"Yeah, okay." Hongbin replied quickly.
Pengfei had originally arranged a return route, but later Huang Ling gave Zhu Xiu Yu a better plan.
She asked Chen Wenfu, who had to deliver goods at the beginning of the year, to go to Zhu Xiuyu's village to pick up the two of them.
But it was not in vain. During the New Year holidays, Huang Ling asked Hongbin to persuade her cousin to help collect some mountain products and bring them back.
Not to mention how much money I earn, at least it can offset the cost of gas.
Even if they cannot be sold, it is still good to give them as gifts to factory employees, familiar friends, customers, and leaders.
Hongbin was so excited after receiving the task that he was busy running around every day as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
In addition to harvesting, he also organized people to go to the mountains and fields to dig.
Although it was the New Year, the villagers were happy to earn some cash, so they dug up all the winter bamboo shoots and kudzu roots on the mountain.
Anyway, when they came back, the truck was full, and Hongbin had stuffed chestnuts into the gaps.
"I'll have to process the bamboo shoots once I get home and make them into pickled bamboo shoots for your Aunt Zhou. You can't always eat radishes; you'll get tired of them easily."
"Okay, I'll peel it later. The uncles in the village taught me. Mom, my trip back to the countryside was not in vain. I learned a lot." Hongbin said proudly.
"Yes! Going to school is going to school, and life is also going to school. There are so many things people need to learn."
"Mom, wait a minute..." Hongbin was a little worried when he walked to the gate of the yard.
"fine."
Hongbin saw that his mother's expression had changed.
After entering the courtyard, someone greeted Zhu Xiuyu and her son:
"Sister Zhu is back!"
"Ah, yes, Happy New Year!"
"Uncle Sun, Auntie, Happy New Year!"
Zhuang Chaoying went to the water room to fetch water. When he heard Zhu Xiuyu's voice, he was so excited that he left the water room in a few steps without even picking up the bucket and came up to her:
"Xiuyu, Hongbin, you're back!"
As he said that, he snatched the bag from Hongbin's hand.
"Dad, you're back." Hongbin shouted.
Zhuang Chaoying nodded. "Okay, it's so late, you haven't had dinner yet! I thought you guys would be back today, so I cooked some food. You can heat it up and eat it soon."
Zhu Xiu Yu didn't say a word until she entered the house.
She glanced at the house, which was clean and tidy, and sneered.
"Put your things away first and wash your face. I'll go get the bucket." Zhuang Chaoying went back to the bathroom.
When I came back, I saw Zhu Xiuyu boiling water.
"I'll steam some food for you. I made it..." Zhuang Chaoying said attentively.
"No need, we ate on the way." Zhu Xiu Yu replied coldly.
She boiled a large pot of water for Hongbin to take a bath first, then boiled water for herself to take a bath, and ignored Zhuang Chaoying the whole time.
