After finishing the last mouthful of millet porridge, Gu Qishen said, "Finally, I've had a full meal. It feels so good. With Xiaohan's supplies, I feel much more at ease. Otherwise, I would have really wanted to bang my head against a wall."
Han Yixian said, "Once we safely transport the grain back to the warehouse tomorrow, we can be sure we'll get through this year safely. Yuhan, tomorrow we'll put a batch of the items we're exchanging with you at the place where you're going to store the grain, so you can have the other party take the items with them."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "That's good, it saves us from making another trip. Just make sure the things are delivered before nine o'clock tomorrow. Then we'll still arrange for you to go and transport the supplies at one o'clock in the morning."
I'll drive again this time; it'll be more convenient that way.
After everyone had discussed it, He Chenglin took his wife, daughter, and child home to rest. They had rested well during the day, but they still had to work at night.
He has already given instructions to his eldest son to be on standby at any time tonight.
Gu Qishen also went back to rest; it had been a very tiring night.
Han Yixian and Liu Gang also needed to rest.
Han Yixian could tell from the fact that the blankets on the bed had been moved that Du Yuhan had rested in his bed. Even after he covered himself with the blankets, he could still faintly smell Du Yuhan's unique fragrance.
I wonder when they will be able to be together openly and legitimately.
The faint fragrance on the quilt made Han Yixian feel very at ease. Worried that he was already exhausted after a busy night, Han Yixian soon went to sleep.
Gu Qishen and Han Yixian had very little rest time due to other commitments. They needed to prepare the supplies for the exchange in advance, so they met after lunch to begin preparations. This time, they didn't intend to let anyone else handle it; they wanted to deliver the supplies themselves.
As soon as it got dark, Han Yixian and Gu Qishen each drove a truck to deliver the goods to the designated location.
Not long after they left, Du Yuhan arrived by car and put everything into her spatial storage. Han Yixian had given Du Yuhan a list beforehand, and Du Yuhan trusted them completely and didn't bother to check it, saying she would do it later when she had time.
After receiving the goods, they began to take out the food and other supplies.
Two hours later, Han Yixian and his men returned with their vehicles to transport the grain. This time, they were again sent by He Chenglin, with He Zhenhua in charge of directing the convoy.
Just like yesterday, Du Yuhan didn't get out of the car and show herself. When she saw people arrive, she drove straight back.
Han Yixian felt much more at ease knowing that the place was so close to the city.
Gu Qishen and Han Yixian both knew that Du Yuhan had provided them with a lot of supplies this time, but when they actually saw the sacks piled up like small mountains, they both gasped in surprise.
This is too much. Can what they gave Du Yuhan be exchanged for so many supplies?
Gu Qishen said in a low voice, "Yixian, we haven't given Yuhan enough. We need to collect more. I've already had someone prepare some high-quality wood. We'll have to give Yuhan some more later."
Han Yixian said, "I've already sent people to the west to collect jade. I'll give Yuhan some more later. We can also contact some departments in other areas with jade to ask them to help collect jade, and then we can exchange it for their most scarce resource, grain. I think they would be very willing. We can just make a profit from the difference."
Gu Qishen laughed and said, "Your shrewd mind has been planning to rip them off all along?"
Han Yixian rolled his eyes at Gu Qishen and said, "What do you mean by 'black'? We're just getting what we need. They're definitely not happy about it. Anyway, we can't let Yuhan be in a difficult position in the end."
Gu Qishen said, "Of course I know that. Otherwise, what if we don't have such good things again? We should give them more preferential treatment so that we can cooperate better in the future."
But who are they? How come they brought all this stuff without making a sound? They're really mysterious."
Han Yixian was well aware of Du Yuhan's many mysteries, but he didn't want to discuss them with Gu Qishen. He said, "No matter who they are, they're helping us. If they don't want to show themselves, we shouldn't investigate. Otherwise, we might anger them and they'll stop cooperating with us."
He Chenglin was shocked to see so many supplies. He didn't know what kind of magic his daughter had that allowed her to get so many supplies all at once.
He didn't tell his two sons about this matter, as he hoped as few people as possible would know. He even kept it from his own sons.
The convoy dispersed to begin loading supplies, signaling another busy night.
Under the cover of night, He Chenglin's men quietly transported all the supplies to the warehouse designated by Han Yixian and sealed them away.
Du Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief after completing the handover of the supplies. With these supplies, City C could safely weather this year's famine. As for next year, it would depend on whether this year's autumn harvest would yield a good amount of grain.
If this year's autumn harvest is better, it can alleviate the food shortage next year.
However, the drought is expected to continue next year, and Du Yuhan has already discussed with Du Zhuoyuan to continue raising supplies.
After finishing this important task, Du Yuhan wanted to go back to her hometown, as there were quite a few things to do there.
This time, Yu Huiru was also going to the countryside with her two children, so He Chenglin simply sent the mother and children to the countryside together.
Han Yixian and Gu Qishen were even busier, as they needed to allocate the newly acquired supplies in a planned manner. They had a general idea of where the most difficult situations were, and now their task was to be more meticulous in ensuring that the supplies were used where they were most needed.
He Chenglin's logistics support has also been strengthened, which will make things much easier for the team for the time being.
He Chenglin instructed his eldest son to keep this matter a secret. Although He Zhenhua and the others were curious about where all these supplies came from, they didn't ask any further questions.
They all assumed that Han Yixian had brought it over. They greatly admired Han Yixian's abilities.
Yu Huiru, who hadn't been to the countryside for several days, was utterly astonished by the changes in her daughter's home. Although she knew that everything growing in her daughter's yard was thriving, this was just too good.
The fruit trees in the yard were laden with fruit, and the peaches on the peach tree were almost all picked clean. The big, red peaches looked so appealing; their family had certainly enjoyed plenty of peaches this year. The two children especially loved the soft, sweet peaches.
The grapevines were already lush and verdant, with bunches of grapes hanging from the vines, glistening and translucent, some already faintly tinged with red, and soon they would be ripe.
Apple, hawthorn, persimmon, and pear trees are also laden with fruit, so it seems there won't be a shortage of fruit this year.
The vegetables in the backyard are growing even better; we can't possibly eat them all ourselves. No wonder my daughter brought so many vegetables home.
Yu Huiru admires her daughter's ability to grow things very much. She feels that no matter what kind of plant it is, it will definitely grow exceptionally well in her daughter's hands.
