Shang Yuantang had already gotten in the car. Looking at the bundle of money, Chen Tan endured it again and again, but still walked over and refused, saying, "Mr. Shang, my ninth brother and I still have to go to a friend's house to deliver some food, so we won't bother you."
There were vegetables on the ox cart that she wanted to give to Feng Xiaodong, so the relationship that should be maintained had to be maintained.
Shang Yuantang looked at the vegetables and fruits and guessed that she was giving them to others.
He felt strangely blocked in his heart, "It's not safe to run around with so much money."
Chen Tan's face turned cold, "I'll deposit it in the bank later."
What are you hesitating about? Don't you want to give it to me?
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't pursue the matter of the valley, she really wouldn't have sold the spiritual spring water at such a low price.
Shang Yuantang hesitated for a few seconds, then finally got out of the car and handed her the bag. "This bag is for you. Go save the money first. Don't go into a crowded place with money."
"Thank you." It was just right for Shui Jun to use as a schoolbag.
Chen Tan opened the package and looked inside. There were ten thick bundles of Great Unity bills, and various tickets were neatly tied with thin ropes.
She raised her head, her eyes smiling, "Thank you very much, I wish you a speedy recovery."
As she said this, she returned the extra 6,600 yuan and said, "It's what it should be. I won't charge more."
"The extra ones are my reward."
"Oh," Chen Tan looked up at him with a hint of sarcasm, "Mr. Shang wants to do something feudal?"
She doesn't like to take advantage of others, nor does she like to owe others anything.
She hated it even more when people spoke to her in such a condescending tone.
Shang Yuantang was slightly stunned by her retort, he didn't mean that.
She helped heal his burns, and even his body became several times stronger than before.
The extra money he gave her was really a thank you to her.
But she misunderstood, and if he continued to force it on her, he was afraid that she would be even angrier.
Shang Yuantang took back the extra money and said gently, "I'll go see your brother in a couple of days. Be careful on the road."
He raised his hand to rub her head, but thought of what she said last time about men and women not being able to touch each other, so he held back.
Chen Tan's smile froze. Aren't you two just friends for a fight?
Could it be that they developed feelings for each other?
It's really annoying that he keeps talking about Qin Li.
I won't let you meet.
"My brother is on a long journey with my master and fellow apprentice."
After Chen Tan finished speaking, he got on the ox cart angrily and urged Shen Jinquan to leave quickly.
Shang Yuantang paused for a moment, turned around and asked, "Didn't they say her master died?"
"Yes," Zhou Qinglan was also confused, "Your cousin said her master died."
Shang Yuantang didn't dwell on this topic anymore and sat back at the table indifferently. "I'm going back to the south. Do you want to go?"
Zhou Qinglan frowned and asked, "Aren't you leaving at the end of the year?"
"The epidemic has spread, and my superiors asked me to go back and take a look."
"Okay, I'm worried about your dad too, let's go back together."
At this time, Chen Tan, who was sitting on the ox cart, took out a lot of vegetables from the space while Shen Jinquan was not paying attention.
The two men drove the ox cart all the way to the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? This is not a place to sell vegetables, get out of here!"
The guard at the door had a serious face. The old farmers in this village were really annoying. They were illiterate and didn't even know their clothes. How dare they come here?
In fact, Shen Jinquan was afraid, but Chen Tan said that Feng Xiaodong helped him and Liu Xu so much last time, and bought so many delicious foods for Suonier, so he should come and thank him.
There are so many people in the Public Security Bureau, it would be a shame to only thank him. We can bring more fruits and vegetables from the countryside. They are not good things, but they will appear friendly.
Chen Tan jumped off the ox cart and said, "Hello, comrade. We are here to look for Feng Xiaodong. He saved our family last time and we are here to thank him."
"Huh?" The young man looked at the cart full of fruits and vegetables. It was the first time he had seen someone so grateful. "Wait a minute, I'll go call him."
After the little brother ran in, he brought a group of people with him soon.
Feng Xiaodong walked in front, followed by five uniformed people of different ages.
They were all surprised to see the oxcart full of fresh cowpeas, green cucumbers, amaranth, pumpkin, cherries, strawberries, leeks...
It feels amazing and heartwarming.
After working in public security for so many years, this is the first time I have met such caring farmers.
Feng Xiaodong ran over and looked at Chen Tan's face with a clear and upright look in his eyes, without any other thoughts. "You are too polite. We can't accept these things."
"Comrade Feng, we mountain people don't have much good stuff. These are all grown in our backyard. Fortunately, God has given us food this year, so the harvest is so good. If you don't mind, don't be polite to me and Brother Jiu."
Chen Tan said with a smile, looked at the people behind Feng Xiaodong, and bowed politely, "Comrades, thank you for your hard work."
The five people were amused by her and gathered around to ask what good things Feng Xiaodong had done.
Feng Xiaodong looked at Shen Jinquan and said, "Last time, this comrade's wife was beaten by her family and was hospitalized. I visited her twice."
After he said this, one of the five people who had been to Shen Jinquan's house suddenly realized something and said, "I remember that brother from that family almost beat his sister-in-law to death. Is he okay now? Is the child okay?"
His last question was addressed to Shen Jinquan, who was somewhat flattered and bowed repeatedly, "Okay, all good. Thank you for your help. Please accept this."
Chen Tan also took the opportunity to put the vegetables on the cart on the steps under the eaves next to the guard. "Comrade Feng, we have delivered them. If you don't want them, my grandma will scold me when I go back for not being able to handle such a small matter."
Feng Xiaodong was really embarrassed, but Chen Tan's excessive enthusiasm made him embarrassed to refuse, so he could only accept the vegetables and fruits.
Looking at the more than 100 kilograms of vegetables on the ground, they couldn't finish them all, so they asked the five people who came out with him to move them all in and give some to each person in the bureau.
There were two baskets of cherries and strawberries, weighing 60 kilograms in total. He took 10 kilograms home and distributed the rest.
He only started working here last year, and there was still some distance between him and his colleagues. However, today's dish brought them closer together.
After leaving, Chen Tan took Shen Jinquan to the department store. Today she was watching the ox cart, so she gave Shen Jinquan thirty yuan and some tickets and asked him to go in and buy what he and Liu Xu needed.
This was Shen Jinquan's first time here and he was very nervous.
Fortunately, before leaving, Chen Tan asked Liu Xu to write a shopping list for him, and he bought everything according to the requirements.
When he came out, looking at the two big bags of things he brought out, Shen Tan smiled and nodded. It had only been two months, and Shen Jinquan was already very different from before.
Then Shen Jinquan looked at the ox cart. She went in and bought a lot of food, including apples, bananas, oranges, sesame cakes, milk candies, egg cakes, and some nuts. In the end, she bought thirty eggs.
She put the eggs in a basket separately. When she came out, she thought about it and took out seventy of the more than one hundred eggs in the space to make it an integer.
These were what she was going to send to Lu Zhiyan at Chashan.
