Chapter 232 Brother-in-law, Strawberry Garden
The next morning, after breakfast, the three of them drove to Li Meili's farm house.
Along the way, Zhang Wanwan teased Yu Yunfei and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
Yu Yunfei nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and glanced at Zhang Baiyan somewhat embarrassedly.
Zhang Wanwan looked out the window with understanding. Although she was in the room last night, she heard the door opening several times next door. Yu Yunfei would not go in and out like this if she was fine. It must be Zhang Baiyan who went over to call for help.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble, but then she thought that Zhang Baiyan was not having a easy time either, as he would have to go for internship at the beginning of the school term. She might have no chance to get along with Yu Yunfei in the future, so she just let them be.
As they were talking, the car soon arrived in the town. If you drive straight along a main road in the town, it will take about twenty minutes to reach the county town. Li Meili's farm house is on the outskirts of the county town, and it will take less than half an hour to get there.
But they had never been there before, and couldn't even tell the directions. They could only ask Zhao Xiaojun to come and pick them up. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaojun didn't see it, but saw Chen Jie instead.
Because Zhao Xiaojun and Chen Jie were newly married, Zhang Wanwan immediately called out, "Brother-in-law!"
Zhang Baiyan and Yu Yunfei also hurriedly called for help. Yu Yunfei was completely confused and just followed Zhang Wanwan in calling Chen Jie "brother-in-law".
When Chen Jie heard this, his mouth stretched to the back of his ears. "Xiaojun still has to go to work today, and her boss didn't approve her request for leave, saying that it's very busy at the end of the year and she can't just take leave. So I came to pick you up on her behalf. I happened to be delivering goods to my father-in-law's house, so it's on my way."
Zhang Wanwan saw Chen Jie driving a motorcycle tricycle. The front was the driver's seat and the back was full of cargo. The fishy smell of the sea was pungent.
Under the guidance of Chen Jie, Zhang Baiyan and his friends finally found the Zhao family's farm house.
After getting off the car, Yu Yunfei fell in love with this place at first sight. She excitedly grabbed Zhang Wanwan and said, "Look, there are strawberries! Strawberries! There is also a hill full of birch trees. What are planted in those fields? Are they also fruits? And there is a pond over there. Is it for fishing?"
"Honey, can we talk about it later?" Zhang Wanwan soothed gloomily, and pulled Yu Yunfei, who kept looking back, into the hotel.
This restaurant looks like a temporary structure, just a shed, but it is decorated to give it a farmhouse feel, which gives it a unique flavor.
Zhang Wanwan called out sweetly, "Auntie!"
"Hey~" Li Meili was moving goods with Chen Jie, and was too busy to greet Zhang Wanwan, "Wanwan, if you want water or food, just get it yourself. You can also go pick strawberries. Auntie will unload the things first and then prepare food for you."
Seeing Yu Yunfei's curious face, Zhang Wanwan explained to her in a low voice: "This farmhouse is run by my aunt. My aunt is my mother's biological sister. My mother has two biological brothers. They are all in the county. My eldest uncle is now doing the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall business with my father. He has opened a seafood wholesale store and is also very busy. There is no need to mention my second uncle. He is now a contractor and has endless projects. I can only see him once a year during the Spring Festival."
"Wanwan, your relatives are so amazing!" Yu Yunfei exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. The more she saw the Zhang family, the more she felt that she was not worthy of Zhang Baiyan. In terms of appearance, Zhang Baiyan was also a handsome guy. In terms of diploma, the two were equally matched. In terms of family background, hey! Compared with the Zhang family, their family is simply ordinary!
Seeing Yu Yunfei looking a little discouraged, Zhang Wanwan comforted her, "Don't think too much. We also started from scratch. You don't know how poor our family was before. My parents didn't care about their daughter-in-law, not to mention my brother. He has always believed that men should rely on themselves, so he has no objection to my father building a house for me in his hometown. Don't worry. Instead of thinking about those things, you should be with my brother. If you two can get married in the future, run your own small family well. This is what my parents want to see most."
Yu Yunfei's pretty face flushed, but after being persuaded by Zhang Wanwan, she felt much more relieved and returned to her high spirits.
After finishing her work, Li Meili came out from the backyard and shouted at the top of her voice as soon as she entered the door: "Wanwan! Are you taking your brother and your classmates back to the villa to stay for a while this time?"
"Well, it's a waste if we build a house over there and don't live in it."
"That's right! If you don't live in such a nice house, you will be struck by lightning! This way you can come back and stay for a few more days during the Chinese New Year, and the whole family can come to my place to relax together!" Li Meili laughed, very enthusiastic.
Zhang Wanwan teased, "Aunt, you guys will be busy if that happens!"
Li Meili shook her head indifferently, "We didn't plan to take a break in the first place. We have to operate normally during the Spring Festival. You don't know that my business is so good during those legal holidays. For example, during this winter vacation, many people from the city drive their children here to play every weekend, and there are also young people from the county. I can make thousands of yuan a day now. How can your uncle bear to take a break!"
Speaking of Zhao Guoqing, Zhang Wanwan realized that she hadn't seen him for a while. "Where's my uncle?"
"Oh, he went to the fields. Anyway, nothing will go wrong here with me watching over him. He is still thinking about those vegetables!" Li Meili seemed a little nonchalant when talking about those vegetables.
Zhang Wanwan understood after thinking about it. Nowadays, the money earned from farm stays is estimated to be several times that of growing vegetables. In comparison, she looked down on those vegetables. But it was understandable. Anyone would feel resentful after working so hard but not making much money.
Zhang Wanwan didn't want to mention Zhao Guoqing and listen to Li Meili complaining about family matters, so she quickly asked, "Aunt, we're all here, what are you going to prepare to entertain us?"
As expected, Li Meili immediately became anxious when she heard this. She slapped her head and said in annoyance, "It's all my fault! I forgot about the serious things when I was talking. You must be hungry since you came here so early in the morning. Just tell me what you want to eat. It just so happens that your cousin's husband just sent a batch of seafood over. There are as many fish, shrimps and crabs as you can eat!"
Zhang Wanwan quickly shook her head, "Aunt, forget about fish, shrimp and crabs. We have never been without seafood since we came back. You should just cook us some farm dishes. I want to eat braised chicken with mushrooms, stewed eggplant, candied sweet potatoes, and the sweet and sticky sweet potatoes grown in the sand by the sea, hehe."
Zhang Wanwan acted cute, which made Li Meili couldn't help but pinch her. She turned around to look at Zhang Baiyan and Yu Yunfei, and asked with a smile: "Where are Baiyan and this pretty girl? What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you. It's like being at home here, so don't be polite to Auntie!"
When Yu Yunfei heard the menu that Zhang Wanwan reported, her saliva almost drooled. She had no other ideas and immediately shook her head.
