Another night of violent storms. Li Nanshan and Tao Xiaoxi both woke up late, and when they opened their eyes it was already dawn.
Li Nanshan sat up from the kang, secretly surprised at how he could sleep so soundly. While getting dressed, he said to the person beside him, "I still have to plant the remaining medicinal seedlings. You can sleep a little longer."
Tao Xiaoxi was in a daze and very tired, whimpering and unable to utter complete words. Who knew that this guy had tormented her until midnight last night? It seemed that the medicine she was planning to give him was unnecessary.
When we arrived at the medicinal field, someone was already loosening the soil. Old man Li had his hands behind his back and a gloomy face. It seemed that his face was only sunny for a few days out of the 365 days a year. Seeing his son coming late with sleepy eyes and disheveled hair, his face turned from gloomy to dark, like a dark cloud covering the sky.
"You were the one who insisted on planting this medicinal field. Now that you've planted it, you don't take care of it. If you work hard and the land isn't lazy, how can you expect it to flourish on its own?" The old man has been a farmer all his life, and what he hates most is neglecting his crops and land.
Li Nanshan scratched his head and humbly accepted the criticism, "Dad, why are you here?"
"I passed by and saw that your medicinal seedlings hadn't been planted yet. Take a look and see if this is how it's done. I've never planted medicinal plants before, so I don't know how this thing works."
"That's right." Li Nanshan took a look and smiled.
Old man Li's expression eased, and he walked back with his hands behind his back. After a few steps, he turned back, still worried, and warned, "You said you should live your life well, not just live it with your mouth. Be more careful."
"Hey, Dad, don't worry, I've got it."
As a representative of the previous generation of qualified and outstanding farmers, Old Man Li showed his reverence for the land to the fullest at this moment.
Li Nanshan was ashamed, but if he were given another chance to choose, he would still choose "Last night the west wind withered the green trees, and there is no cloud except the clouds of Wushan."
After eating the basket of big steamed buns sent by Ni's mother, Tao Xiaoxi's family fell into the predicament of not having three meals a day again. The payment for the goods from Shang Qingyan had not been remitted yet. Tao Xiaoxi had a hunch that something was wrong, so she rode her bike straight to the county town to find Zhao Bin.
The two of them called Shang Qingyan together, but unexpectedly Shang Qingyan turned around and blamed them, asking them why the goods had not arrived yet and the delivery date had long passed.
Only then did the two realize the seriousness of the problem. They patiently explained to the other party that the goods had been shipped long ago and reported the exact shipping bill number.
Shang Qingyan also found it strange. It should have arrived long ago, but he had not received any pick-up notification.
"Mr. Shang, I'd like to trouble you to check over there, and we'll check here as well to find out where this batch of goods went." Tao Xiaoxi said kindly.
"Okay, this is the only way." Shang Qingyan's boss hung up the phone unhappily.
Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin were both a little frightened after hanging up the phone. They had spent almost all their family savings on this batch of goods, and the consequences would be disastrous if anything went wrong.
"Okay, I'll go to the freight station to find out what's going on. You wait here for me." Zhao Bin said.
"Let's go together." Tao Xiaoxi couldn't wait any longer.
The two exhausted men rushed to the freight station without stopping, but the people there said that the person who handled this batch of goods had resigned. They thought the goods had arrived and did not care about the freight receipts.
"What should we do now? Our people really haven't received the goods?" Zhao Bin frowned, already sweating profusely.
"We will try our best to track you. You should have come earlier. We may not be able to find you." said the person at the freight station.
"It's only been a week or so. We came here as soon as we found something wrong. How can you still blame it on us?" Zhao Bin also lost his gentlemanly manners and patience at this time.
The man was furious. He threw the document bag and pointed at Zhao Bin, shouting, "Why are you yelling? We definitely sent the goods. If you didn't receive them, you should have told us earlier. How would we know if you didn't tell us? It's been so long. Who knows if you really didn't receive them?"
"I..." Zhao Bin clenched his fists, his face flushed red, and was held back by Tao Xiaoxi.
"Comrade, let's all calm down and solve the problem first."
"This comrade speaks more pleasantly." The man sat back in his chair and started flipping through the documents.
Tao Xiaoxi pulled Zhao Bin aside and asked him to calm down. "There's no need to argue with them. We still need their help. If we switch to another freight company, they will still be the ones who suffer the loss."
Zhao Bin rolled up his gown to his waistband and said, "Do you think he cares? He's just a worker, not a boss, so he dares to act so arrogantly."
"Then when the matter is resolved, we will give him a bad review and see how he reacts."
"Bad review? What's that?" Zhao Bin was puzzled.
"I just want to complain about him. Okay, okay, what's wrong with you today? I've never seen you so reckless on other days." Tao Xiaoxi said casually.
Zhao Bin also realized this and finally calmed down. "Excuse me."
In fact, Tao Xiaoxi knew it in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. This time, they had all invested their family fortunes. She was fine because there was no limit on the space, but she had to wait for them to grow up. Zhao Bin was obviously more pessimistic. He had really invested all his family fortunes.
Fortunately, I found it in the end, but it would be better if I hadn’t found it.
When the freight arrived at Si'an, it had already entered the territory of Bozhou. However, the truck had a rear-end collision and overturned. There was a bush as tall as a person next to it, and all kinds of goods were scattered on the ground. After the rescue workers came to rescue, there was no record of this batch of medicinal materials at the next stop, and no one found out until Tao Xiaoxi found something wrong.
Soon, Shang Qingyan also called and said that the goods were lost in Si'an.
This time, the people from the freight company got scared and their attitude became better. However, when Tao Xiaoxi and Zhao Bin asked for compensation according to the market price, they refused to admit it, saying that the person who received the goods had resigned and it was his responsibility, not their company's. Moreover, they also had regulations that the lost goods were not compensated according to the market price, but ten times the freight.
