NOVEL NEXT Chapter 701: 701 recent situation
Su Yuanyuan asked the driver to go to the nearest noodle shop to eat.
"Sir, do you need a break?"
"Comrade, I'll just sleep in the car for a while. Are you guys going back with me?"
"That's right, you go to a hotel. I'll pay. I probably just need a little over two hours."
"Mr. Su, it's really not necessary. I'm used to sleeping in the car. You go about your tasks, the car will be parked at the door. Call me when you're back."
"Why don't you sleep at my place then?" Su Yuanyuan genuinely didn't want someone she wasn't familiar with in her own house.
"No need, I really am not used to it."
Su Yuanyuan didn't insist; they planned to store everything in the basement. Having an outsider around wasn't convenient.
The two of them moved items to the cellar piece by piece, taking nearly two hours. It was already 5 PM now.
Both were exhausted. However, they were drenched in sweat and very uncomfortable.
They boiled water for a bath, and Su Yuanyuan sorted some clothes.
Zhan Yunzhao and the other two came back, seeing the large truck parked outside.
The three of them exchanged glances, wondering what was going on.
They quickly walked to the entrance and saw someone sleeping in the truck bed. The driver heard the noise and opened his eyes.
"Why is the truck parked in front of my house?" Wei Guangxiang asked.
"Xiao Su is inside. I came to deliver things."
Only then did the three feel relieved. They saw the door was bolted from the inside. Zeng Yixin knocked on the door.
Zeng Hongling, having finished tidying up, came to open the door after hearing the outside noise.
"Sis, Su Yuanyuan, you two are back?"
"We are leaving soon."
Zeng Yixin hadn't seen his sister for over two months and noticed she had changed a lot. She seemed more cheerful, and her eyes were much brighter.
The three of them walked into the yard together, as Su Yuanyuan also came out of the house.
"You're back?"
"Xiao Su, are you leaving already?" Zhan Yunzhao asked with a smile.
"Yes, going back with the truck. We're heading out soon. How have you been these days?"
"Don't worry, we've been doing pretty well."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, that's good to hear.
"Hongling, we'll be off now. Call if you need anything."
"Aren't you staying for a meal? Hold on, I'll go buy some meat pies for you to eat in case you get hungry later."
Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, she wouldn't eat, but the driver needed to. So, she didn't refuse Zeng Yixin's offer.
Wei Guangxiang invited the driver inside but he declined, feeling embarrassed.
The four of them entered the living room, taking advantage of the time while the meat pies were being bought to chat about their lives.
"Daoist Zhan, we went to the countryside to collect a lot of things and stored them in the basement."
"I thought so. You two have changed quite a bit," Zhan Yunzhao noticed. Both girls had undergone significant changes.
"It's because we both love it," Zeng Hongling said with a smile.
"Daoist Zhan, how are you finding it?"
"Not bad, mainly research every day, though they want me to come up with some other secret formulas, which I haven't agreed to."
"Making one product well is enough."
"Xiao Su, don't worry about us, we're adults, we won't suffer losses."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, that's for the best. Especially since they came here with her, and she orchestrated the whole thing. If anything happened, it would be embarrassing.
"Su Yuanyuan, when are we going to harvest ginseng?" Wei Guangxiang asked.
"After July 15th. Well, can you guys leave by then? If not, Hongling and I can manage."
"It's all arranged. After all, the quality of their ginseng isn't that great.
But they said if the ginseng we harvest is good, they'll pay a high price."
"Alright, it's fine as long as you have time. We'll wait for you by the sea."
"Xiao Su, that leader with the surname Zeng contacted us and instructed us to take care of you."
Su Yuanyuan smiled, thinking that Zeng Zhenqing probably felt guilty. Rationally, she could understand it.
But emotionally, she felt betrayed.
Actually, the three of them had already planned to hurry and arrive before July 15th. The person named Zeng had already told them about Su Yuanyuan's erratic behavior.
When Zeng Yixin returned, they directly boarded the truck, as it had already taken up quite a bit of the driver's time.
"Daoist Zhan, I'm starting to think I should join them. Maybe I'll have more fun that way too," Wei Guangxiang envied Zeng Hongling.
Zeng Yixin felt the same way. However, they couldn't leave this place now; it was a critical time, and they really couldn't leave.
Su Yuanyuan and the other two took two days and nights to reach the sanatorium.
Seeing the familiar car, they wondered if the Shao family father and son had come again. Did Shao Hongming have so much free time?
The truck turned around at the entrance, heading back, and the two girls entered the sanatorium.
Shao Hongming had already seen Su Yuanyuan come in, so he came out to greet her.
"I knew coming at this time, I'd definitely meet you here."
"Mr. Shao, hello," Zeng Hongling greeted with a smile.
"Mr. Zeng, hello, how are you? Have you adapted to life in the north?"
"Adapted, but winter is quite uncomfortable."
The three of them chatted as they entered the lobby.
"Xiao Su, how come you didn't think of calling me for some fun?" They already knew about Su Yuanyuan's acquisition of old items here and Wu Guobin's matter.
Su Yuanyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Too many people, and they wouldn't dare sell anymore.
How long is the old leader staying here this year?"
"Don't ask me. I'm asking you, aren't you going to the sea again this year?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded.
"Then what are you doing after July 15th?"
"Going to Jiangbei to harvest ginseng."
"Can't take me with you for this either?"
"No, we have to go up the mountains."
"Xiao Su, you're underestimating me. Back in the day, not only could I climb mountains, but also dive into the sea," Shao Huade yelled.
"Yes, that was in the good old days."
Shao Huade fell silent. This girl was really not lovable.
Zhou Changchun and the others just sat aside, listening to them chat. They couldn't get a word in, and honestly, no one wanted to engage them.
Jiang Zhiyong came over. "Xiao Su, are you still okay with your old room?"
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
"Still so polite with me. I'll go tell Old Li you're back. He will definitely cook something delicious for you today."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.
They chatted there for a while. Actually, Su Yuanyuan wanted to go up and take a bath.
"Old leader, I'll head up first. See you in the canteen later."
After Su Yuanyuan left, Zhou Changchun snorted, but didn't say anything unpleasant. His grandson would be arriving in a few days and already knew Su Yuanyuan was helping the big leader again.
