Chapter 27 Leaving and Joining
The barbecue bonfire party lasted until late at night. Everyone had a great time and didn't want to leave.
Until the young aunt was so sleepy that she couldn't stand it anymore and started to chase people away.
A group of people cleaned up the yard with laughter and extinguished all the open flames before returning to their houses to wash up and rest.
Bai Tang, lying on the kang, stared at the ceiling for a long time without falling asleep. Shi Mei and Li Wenwen beside him had already fallen asleep, and Li Wenwen was even mumbling something in her sleep.
I never expected myself to be where I am today. Bai Tang never thought that one day I would be able to let go to such an exhilarating degree. Ever since his mother passed away, having enough food, clothing and studying hard became Bai Tang's first priority in life.
In the past few years, she would not have dared to think about such a life. Now she has countless money, a prominent background, and some friends who seem to have good character.
Thanks, Mom. Bai Tang slowly fell asleep in his wild thoughts.
The next morning, Bai Tang was woken up by Li Wenwen. She slept too late last night, so she was still in a sluggish state after waking up today.
Shi Mei saw that she was not in good condition and asked her if she was too tired from playing.
"No, I was just a little excited last night and slept late." Bai Tang yawned and responded to Shi Mei weakly.
After hearing Bai Tang say this, Shi Mei felt relieved.
"Wash your face, brush your teeth, and have breakfast quickly. Then we'll go back."
Hearing about breakfast, Bai Tang immediately stopped delaying and washed up in three minutes before heading straight to the restaurant. Shi Mei and Li Wenwen behind him were envious. Her naturally good skin looked good even without makeup. Unlike them, if she didn't wear makeup, her acne marks and dull skin would be exposed.
Breakfast was white rice porridge cooked by my aunt, thick and hot, with the aroma of rice fully cooked out. With a little sugar, Bai Tang could eat two large bowls. Of course, he also had to eat a tea egg and a steamed bun with meat that my uncle bought early in the morning.
After everyone finished breakfast, it was almost nine o'clock. After packing up and putting everything in the car, they were ready to set off back to the city. Many people in the team had regular jobs, unlike Bai Tang and Zhang Shaoyang who were just finishing their college entrance exams and had free time.
The aunt brought some eggs from her own chickens and vegetables from the garden and put them in the trunk for Bai Tang. If Bai Tang hadn't stopped her, she would have put an old hen in the car for her.
Before leaving, the little aunt walked to Bai Tang's car window and said to her reluctantly: "Come and play when you are free, Tangtang. If you want to eat something delicious, come to me and I will make it for you."
Ding Wei's uncle and aunt are almost fifty years old and have no children, so they are usually very nice to Ding Wei and his friends. This time, when they saw the cute little girl, they loved her even more.
Bai Tang was also somewhat touched by her aunt, but she was not a person who was very good at expressing herself. She could only nod and agree with her aunt that she would come to play often when she had time.
After starting the car and lining up to set off, Bai Tang drove a long way away. In the rearview mirror, he saw his uncle and aunt still standing at the gate of the compound.
She sniffed, put aside her emotions and drove seriously. After her mother passed away, the kindness of others during the most difficult days would make Bai Tang feel very stressed, because she was poor and could not repay them.
Now, when others show kindness to her, she no longer feels pressured, but only feels the warmth and happiness of being cared for. Because now she has the ability to respond to anyone's kindness. She has never been a person who can accept others' kindness calmly. She believes that interpersonal communication and interaction are the long-term solution.
The convoy arrived at the gathering place where they had set out, and everyone stopped the car and began to say goodbye to each other.
Bai Tang also returned the intercom that Zheng Long had given him. Zheng Long smiled at Li Wenwen, then said to Bai Tang: "I have already greeted Ding Wei, he is very happy to take your job, and said that he must create the work that he is most satisfied with."
Then he took out his phone, added Bai Tang as a friend, and pulled her into their small team group. Bai Tang saw that the group name was actually a loving family. She immediately had the urge to quit the group.
Li Wenwen watched Bai Tang's expression change constantly and laughed, "When Sister Shi Mei and I were pulled in, we were also shocked for several days, but now we are used to it."
Bai Tang looked at them sadly and asked, "Who came up with this group name? People who don't know would think it's full of relatives and friends."
"Hahaha, who else could do this except Ding Wei's grandson?"
Bai Tang was relieved when he heard that it was Ding Wei who did it. Apart from his professionalism in playing with and modifying cars, don't expect to see him being serious.
At Ding Wei's suggestion, everyone stood in a row and took a group photo. Because of the new member Bai Tang, it was necessary to take a new group photo.
With a click, Bai Tang's silly smiling face was frozen in the photo of this loving family.
Because Zheng Long volunteered to take over the task of sending Li Wenwen, Shi Mei was the only one left in Bai Tang's car. Half an hour later, after sending Shi Mei off, Bai Tang was already lying on his own bed. He was too lazy to eat lunch and slept until the afternoon.
Bai Tang was still a little confused when he woke up. He looked around to make sure that this was his cabin. After drinking a mouthful of water, Bai Tang, who was completely awake, felt a slight soreness in his body. He had played too much these two days.
After packing up, he drove the 570 straight to Shenmei Group.
I left the car in the parking lot, watching the shiny black body turn gray, covered in dust and dirt. Wash the car? Hey, forget it, I'll come back later.
When I reached the top floor, I happened to meet Secretary Zhang.
"Miss Bai, are you here to see Mr. Lu? He happens to be in the office right now. You can just go directly."
Secretary Zhang left in a hurry after saying hello. Bai Tang scratched his head. Secretary Zhang was always in a hurry and no one knew where he got all the energy from.
When Bai Tang arrived at the office, Mr. Lu forced him to drink a bellyful of tea. Bai Tang couldn't understand why, regardless of the size of the office, they had to prepare a bunch of this stuff for people to drink.
She curled her lips and said, "Uncle Lu, I came here today because I have something to talk to you about."
"What's the matter? Tell me first and I'll see if I can help you. Where have you been these days? You haven't come to the group and I can't see you in the cafeteria." Mr. Lu said jokingly.
Bai Tang smiled and talked about the new friends she met and how they went out to play together. Mr. Lu nodded repeatedly and told her that young people should be more energetic and go out more often to see more things.
"Uncle Lu, I have a classmate whose family runs a coal washing plant. They are short of coal now. Can we sell them some?"
"I'm asking you for help? Why can't I do that? Others can't do it, but you, Tangtang, opened your mouth, so how can Uncle Lu say no? Haha. Which family are you from?"
"The last time we picked up the car, you brought a group of factory owners to visit me." Bai Tang took a sip of water, "My classmate is Zhang Shaoyang, he and his father were there at the time."
Mr. Lu thought for a moment, "Then I have an impression of him. It's Mr. Zhang from Yongchang Coal Washing. He brought a young man that day and introduced him as his son. I forgot his name. When you mentioned it just now, I have an impression of him."
"Well, you can ask them to come anytime. I'll ask Secretary Zhang to keep an eye on them."
After discussing the business, Bai Tang and Mr. Lu started chatting in the office about what had happened recently and their upcoming college life.
Seeing that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Tang pulled Mr. Lu's sleeve and dragged him to the cafeteria, where she had a delicious meal. Mr. Lu was so amused that he could not help but keep saying that she was a greedy girl.
