Chapter 42
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with your grandfather. If he agrees, I'll discuss it with your father."
"Yeah." Lin Nanzhi nodded with a smile, and suddenly thought that no matter how busy his father was, it would be quite troublesome for him to go to the market to get fruits by himself.
The bus is not convenient here, and the vans are not empty when they arrive here, unless you call to charter a van, but the road is too bumpy for vans.
Thinking that Auntie Lin also had a driver's license and her driving skills were better than Uncle Lin's, he smiled and said to Auntie Lin, "Auntie, can you take me to the market? I'll take the fruit to the market to mail it!"
"Of course." Auntie Lin agreed readily.
After the two of them prepared the fruit, Auntie Lin drove over, and Uncle Lin also came over. Lin Nanzhi greeted them with a smile.
"Your aunt said she wanted to make a grape rack. What are you going to do?" She asked Lin Nanzhi while helping to load the fruits into the car.
Lin Nanzhi thought about it and told Uncle Lin about the plan. The latter nodded to show that he understood. Then Aunt Lin took Lin Nanzhi to the city, and Uncle Lin went to get a grape rack for Lin Nanzhi.
It's just a grape trellis, but he can still do it.
Not to mention, when Lin Nanzhi came back, there was already an extra-large grape trellis in the backyard of Lin's mother's house. It was very stable. Lin Nanzhi couldn't help but give Uncle Lin a thumbs up and praised him so much that Uncle Lin felt embarrassed.
"As long as you think it's okay, I can help you with the other things."
"No, my dad likes to plant trees, so leave it to him."
In the past, Lin's father struggled to make a living, but now that he has money, it is not so tiring to plant fruit trees without money, so he thought about doing something for himself. He likes planting trees, and whenever he has free time, he goes up the mountain to dig trees with an uncle in the village.
Because Grandma Lin's house had been demolished, Uncle Lin had no use for the foundation, so he gave it to Father Lin. He made the wall a little bigger and planted many trees behind it.
As for Lin's mother, she doesn't like to tinker with these things. Apart from the two walnut trees that were originally there when the wall was built, which added some greenery, the garden is pretty bare.
It’s a good time to plant some flowers and plants in the back.
"That's fine, let's go back first."
Lin Nanzhi nodded and did not invite the two to have dinner.
Someone died in the village, so today they helped out. Everyone in the village would go for dinner in the evening, including her and Lin Nanxun, who wanted to go even after changing their clothes.
In the imperial capital, after Wen Jiunian got the address, he went upstairs to help Lin Nanzhi pack his things.
The white combination box has stickers of cute little animals on it, which is particularly beautiful. I dragged the box out and found it was empty. All the clothes were in the closet. I put the box on the ground and took out all the clothes and put them in the suitcase.
Suddenly, he saw some things with very little fabric, his face turned red, and he felt a little regretful that he had collected them himself. He should have let his mother do it.
Forget it. It would be a bit abnormal to accept it. Wen Jiunian chose to ask his mother for help and quickly packed up the things.
Mother Wen went to get another bag of clothes and stuffed them in: "I bought all these for Zhizhi. What a pity, I haven't even seen how she wears them."
Seeing this, Wen Jiunian thought about it, stuffed the gift he had prepared into the box, and then closed the box.
In addition to Lin Nanzhi's own things, the mother and son also specially prepared some special products of the imperial capital and sent them to Lin Nanzhi at the express station. At the same time, Lin Nanzhi also bought some local specialties and sent them over.
However, local specialties can be sent by express delivery, but express delivery for fruits is too slow and it would be bad if they go bad, so I arranged for air express delivery. It was sent at noon today and should arrive at Wen Jiunian’s home in the afternoon or evening.
Sure enough, at night, there was a knock on the Wen family's door. They thought someone was visiting, but it turned out to be a courier.
"Hello, are you Mr. Wen Jiunian?"
"yes."
"This is your express delivery. Please sign for it."
Express delivery?
Wen Jiunian frowned in confusion, but still took the paper and pen to sign for it. The courier gave him a list and left. Only then did Wen Jiunian see the pile of express parcels in the corridor outside the door, like a small mountain.
"Niannian, who is it?"
"Express delivery."
Wen Jiunian replied casually, and then moved the express delivery home. The couple sat on the sofa and watched him move one after another: "What did you buy? So much?"
“I didn’t buy it.”
After Wen Jiunian moved all the things in, he looked down at the sender and found that it was from Lin Nanzhi. The corners of his mouth slightly raised: "It was sent by Zhizhi."
"Zhizhi sent this, so many?"
"I'll make a phone call and ask."
Wen Jiunian made a call. His mother kept moving away from the speakerphone, so he had no choice but to turn on the speakerphone. Soon the call was connected, and the little girl's cheerful voice rang out: "Good evening, Wen Jiunian. Did you receive the express delivery?"
"Good evening, I just received it. I see you sent a lot. Why did you send so many things?"
"It's just some fruits and local specialties from our Southern Province. Thank you, Yu Ze, and my uncle and aunt for taking care of me during this time."
Mother Wen quickly took the phone from her and said, "Zhizhi, it's me. I'm telling you, we have everything here. You're wasting money by sending so much money. You're still studying. How much did it cost? I'll have Niannian transfer it to you."
"Auntie, it's free. These are all grown by my family. We also smoke the meat ourselves. It didn't cost me much to buy these things. You can try them.
That Wen Jiunian, there are two copies of each item, the big one is for you, and the small one is for Brother Yu Ze. I don’t know his address, please pass it on, we can talk another day.”
After Lin Nanzhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry. The whole family looked at the phone helplessly.
Wen Jiunian thought about it, went to get a utility knife and opened the parcel for Wen's father. He called Yu Ze and asked him to come over with a cart. Then he hung up the phone and sorted out the pile of parcels. He quickly divided the parcels into two parts.
There were a lot of fruits. The apples filled a whole big cardboard box, weighing about 40 kilograms. The peaches, apricots, and plums weighed about 20 to 30 kilograms each. There were not many cherries, strawberries, and raspberries, and they were all packed in fruit boxes, with five boxes of each.
In addition to fruits, there are also pickled bacon, a piece of dark red thing of unknown origin, some flower cakes, brown sugar, black-bone chicken, and some things that look like dough dumplings but are not.
"This Zhizhi, you sent me a lot of gifts. I don't know if I can finish all the fruits."
"Why can't you finish it? The extra ones can be stored, and the ones that can't be stored, just eat them quickly in the next few days."
Wen Jiunian said nothing, and sent a message to Lin Nanzhi: [Why so many?]
Lin Nanzhi: [Hmm… I calculated that you guys also sent me some local specialties, so it’s just a matter of reciprocity.]
Lin Nanzhi: [By the way, this is called blood tofu, cut it into slices and steam it before eating, and this is buckwheat tea, which can be used to make tea and drink, it can clear away heat and remove toxins…]
Lin Nanzhi also sent the picture to Wen Jiunian to avoid him not recognizing it.
Wen Jiunian was a little surprised. Could this little girl count? How did she know that they sent local specialties back?
He sent a shocked emoticon, and Lin Nanzhi quickly replied with his hands on hips and the caption [I’m so awesome]. He couldn’t help but smile.
