Corpse Recovery Diver

"No problem."

"You've worked hard, Xiao Yuan."

"This is your job, and also my job."

"Haha, with you here, I feel at ease, really. They all say I take care of you, but I know in my heart, it's always been you taking care of me."

"Brother Liangliang, you're indispensable, you might not realize how important you are."

Just like the sign at the police station entrance is important.

"Haha, you're making me feel embarrassed. By the way, can your car fit so many people?"

Our car is just a little pickup truck.

"It can't fit, so we have to trouble you, Brother Liangliang, to drive to Nantong to pick us up to go to Jinling."

"It's no trouble, it's what I should do."

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhiyuan finally understood how Brother Liangliang used to handle such a busy job and still frequently return to Nantong. He simply found a way to squeeze it in, even if there was no time.

Li Zhiyuan dialed again, this time calling the affordable store.

Lu Yi answered the phone.

This year, he went home for the New Year, and because he became a "second-generation factory owner," he was overwhelmed with matchmaking meetings. Lu Yi couldn't take it anymore, so he took the train back to school early.

He preferred to be in the store, familiarizing himself with and staying busy with his career.

Li Zhiyuan was too lazy to call the paging station and have them call one by one, anyway, their team had their own "switchboard."

"Aunt Zhang, I want this, this, this..."

Li Zhiyuan picked quite a few snacks and after paying, said, "Leave them with you, Aunt, and give them to Hu Zi and the others when they come over."

"Little Yuanhou, you really have a big brother vibe."

Li Zhiyuan smiled shyly.

Mostly because Aunt Zhang's store didn't have many kinds of goods, during the New Year, Tan Wenbin and the others frequently called, taking a lot of snacks and small goods for their family. Nobody really ate those things at home, so he couldn't be bothered to bring them home again.

Back home, Liu Yumei and the others were still playing cards.

Even after spending several days together, Lihua's hand still trembled while holding cards.

Their couple was doing relatively well; Xiao Yingying, ever since Liu Yumei and the others returned, stayed at Big Beard's house and hadn't shown her face here since.

The papermen were all made there and then transported back by Xiong Shan with a handcart.

"Hu!"

Liu Yumei clapped her hands and started calculating the points.

Li Zhiyuan walked to Liu Yumei's side and whispered, "Grandma, I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow."

"Back to school?"

"Not back to school."

"Then next semester, you're probably not staying at school much?"

"Probably not."

Liu Yumei sighed, "What a pity for the vegetables I've grown in the yard."

"You can have Uncle Qin find some time to go to Jinling to harvest them."

"Heh." Liu Yumei laughed, "Forget it, there's more fields here."

"You plan to keep living here?"

"Otherwise, should I follow you everywhere?"

"I didn't mean that."

"Anyway, it doesn't matter where you live." With this hand, it was Liu Yumei's turn to sit out, she stood up and led Li Zhiyuan to the edge of the yard, "Let your grandmaster take on more fields, or it won't be enough for Ali and that big bear to plant together."

"Thank you, Grandma."

"Grandma also often feels guilty, wanting to do something for you but doesn't know where to start. In the end, it's because Xiao Yuan, you're too capable.

Actually, I used to be quite curious. People who sail usually race with many sails crossing the river, living life in the Jianghu. How did you manage to stay mostly at school waiting for work for the past half year?

But now it's inconvenient to ask. I know you guys intentionally hide things from me. Even when Zhuangzhuang chats with me, I can tell he withholds things.

We're old after all, and you all are still young. This Jianghu, the future belongs to you.

And one more thing, since you're following that kid Liangliang around, I trust that kid's return frequency. If he tries to figure out a way to return to Nantong, you won't just not follow.

No matter how busy you are outside, remember to come home often.

Alii misses you."

"I will, Grandma."

So, this time I really benefited from Brother Liangliang.

Li Zhiyuan went to speak with Li Sanjiang, and after hearing, Li Sanjiang asked, "Outside, won't expenses be higher?"

"The company will reimburse, Grandmaster."

"Not everything can be reimbursed. A poor family and rich road, especially when you're still growing, don't skimp and neglect your health."

"I won't, since Grandmaster, you send me money every month."

"That's true!"

Li Sanjiang patted Li Zhiyuan's head, both musing and proudly, "Our little Yuan, is going out to make his career, haha."

"By the way, Grandmaster, Grandma Liu and the others will probably continue living here."

"Then won't Li Hou and Ting Hou stay here too?"

"Yes."

"Hey, that's great, I'll get some more tables, chairs, pots, pans, and use Big Beard's place, double the business."

Suddenly, there are so many good mules, there aren't enough millstones to pull them.

Originally, Li Zhiyuan had Lu Yi convey to Lin Shuyou that he could go to Guizhou from Fujian first. Lin Shuyou cautiously asked if this was an order or a suggestion. Upon learning it was the latter, he firmly stated he would still go with the main group and wait for everyone to gather in Jinling.

The pressure of leading as the vanguard is huge; if something happens, it easily becomes a rescue mission for Lin Shuyou.

The night before departure, everyone had a meal together.

In the evening, Li Zhiyuan took a walk at Big Beard's house and upon returning home, followed the rule of greeting the gatekeeper before and after going out.
