give us! We were forced to do this!"We haven't harmed anyone! It was Wang Cheng and his people who forced us to do it!"Master, please forgive us..."You useless piece of trash!Wang Cheng cursed inwardl...After lunch, Yang Fan rode his tricycle to deliver the aunt's order: thirty kilograms of loquats, twenty kilograms of lychees, twenty kilograms of strawberries, twenty kilograms of plums, and ten kilograms of cherries to town.
That auntie lived in a resettlement housing estate near the town's passenger station. Yang Fan delivered the package to downstairs of her building according to the address the auntie had given him.
That aunt's surname was Zheng, and she looked to be around fifty years old. After checking the fruit and finding nothing wrong, the aunt happily settled the bill for Yang Fan.
She bought ninety jin of fruit by herself. Yang Fan calculated the total price for her at fifty-one jin, which came to 4500 yuan.
She felt a twinge of pain paying so much all at once, but when she thought about how much the kids loved it, she wasn't as heartbroken.
After paying, Auntie Zheng looked at Yang Fan with some embarrassment, "Mr. Yang, could you please wait for me a moment I'll take some of it upstairs, and can you help me pull the rest to the Bluebird Relay Station Would that be alright"
She bought so much fruit, some to leave at home for her daughter-in-law who is expecting her second child, and some to send to her two daughters who are working in other provinces.
Yesterday she and her husband agreed that he would stay home and wait for her to finish packing the fruit before they went out together. Her two daughters are working in another province.
She bought so much fruit, part of it was to send to her daughters who live outside the province, part of it for her daughter-in-law who is expecting her second child at home, and some of it was to give to relatives.
But this morning, her husband was called away by his fishing friends. Now she is the only one left at home with her three-year-old grandson. The child is now asleep.
She just wanted to take advantage of this time to send the fruit. The express station on the street was still some distance away from here, and Yang Fan happened to be driving, so she asked him to help her deliver it to the station. She quickly sent out these fruits.
Auntie Zheng was thinking that fruits don't last long, so she had to send them off quickly.
Besides, the flu is rampant. During this time, her daughters who work out of province were also not spared. If she sends it a day earlier, her daughters could eat it a day earlier and recover their health sooner.
"I'm so sorry, my
family member said they would wait at home to send the fruit before leaving."
Yang Fan smiled and said, "It's nothing major, don't worry about it. I can take it for you, I'm going that way anyway."
"That's how I see it, and you happen to be going back that way anyway." Aunt Zheng: "Then wait for me, I'll grab some things first and go up."
Just as she came down, she brought all the bags with her.
Thirty catties of loquats, twenty catties of lychees, another twenty catties of strawberries, twenty catties of plums and ten catties of cherries. She packaged them into three portions.
The loquats were packed into two bags, and the lychees, strawberries, Chinese plums, and cherries were also packed separately into two bags. Sent to her two daughters, there were almost thirty catties of fruit in total. The remaining sixty catties she took upstairs herself.
She lives on the fifth floor, there's no elevator. Yang Fan helped her carry the sixty-pound fruit up.
Then, she pulled her to the courier station. After getting on the bus, Aunt Zheng thanked Yang Fan, "Thank you for sending me upstairs, thank you, Mr. Yang."
Yang Fan is decisive and generous in her work. She quite likes this young boss.
“Since you bought so many fruits, it's only right for me to offer a delivery service. Don’t be shy.”
"Your fruit is so good and you have so much of it. I remember your family used to run a post station," Aunt Zheng suggested enthusiastically, "You could do e-commerce. E-commerce is so developed now. If you sell your fruit online, it's bound to be a hit."
Yang Fan: "Now I'm the only one at home, it's too busy for me. When there are more people in the family later on, I can consider this sales channel."
Auntie Zheng's suggestion is indeed feasible, but she doesn't want to tire herself out by doing it alone. She just picks some fruits and sells them every day, occasionally taking on large orders like Auntie Zheng's, living a more comfortable life.
"Do you have a boyfriend If not, my aunt can introduce you to one."
Aunt Zheng: "You bring your boyfriend along, you young people work hard together, and then buy a house and car together in the future. Wouldn't that be great."
Middle-aged and elderly people are very interested in these topics. Yang Fan is not bothered by this kind of topic, and calmly said, "Auntie, I am not infertile and was deceived by a man of 200,000 yuan."
Aunt Zheng: "..."
Oh no, I accidentally touched on someone's sore spot.
“Sorry about that,” Auntie Zheng said awkwardly, smiling and then stopped talking. As if on cue, the car pulled up to the courier station.
As soon as the car stopped, Aunt Zheng hurriedly got out.
Oh dear, this is so embarrassing. Get out of the car quickly, quickly!
Watching Auntie's flustered back, Yang Fan found it strangely endearing and got off the bus.
After that, Auntie Zheng had already taken the fruits down. Seeing her get out of the car, she hurried to say, "Boss Yang, I've already done it, you don't have to trouble yourself anymore."
Yang Fan pointed at the delivery package and said, "Auntie, I want to pick up a delivery too."
Aunt Zhang asked her to help bring a delivery package back.
Auntie Zheng: "Oh oh oh..."
Oh well, she thought the other person would still help her get the fruit down. It was a misunderstanding.
As the delivery courier was picking up the package, Yang Fan suddenly said something to Auntie Zheng.
"Auntie, please don't take your grandson to the station tomorrow afternoon."
Aunt Zheng: "Huh"
She stared blankly at Yang Fan.
Just as she was confused about what Yang Fan meant, the courier arrived with the package. Yang Fan signed for it and when he was about to leave, he added another instruction.
Remember, there are many trains and cars at the station. Don't take your children to the station tomorrow afternoon, or they could be in danger.
Aunt Zheng stared at Yang Fan leaving with a puzzled expression, "What's gotten into this girl..."
The deliveryman on the side heard Yang Fan's words and said, "The young lady was just trying to be kind."
Auntie Zheng became even more confused. "It's kind of you, but I'm not taking the kids to the station."
Although her house is near the train station, she doesn't take her children to the station unless there's a reason. It's just strange.
……
Yang Fan rode her tricycle to the supermarket and bought a big bag of snacks. Just as she walked out of the supermarket, she received a call from Grandpa Li, who told her that someone had arrived.
She told the other person she was going back soon and hung up.
Then, Grandpa Li hung up the phone and said to Wang Dequan, "Yang Fan will be back soon. You just wait here with me."
Wang Dequan nodded. "Okay."
He sat in the yard, looking over the whole village, “Old Li, your village is developing well. Every household has set up a rural homestay.”
He hadn't visited Old Li's home for several years due to work and health reasons, and the change since his last visit was astonishing.
"It's just that you guys don't take good care of the house at all. The wall plaster is falling off, why don't you patch it up"
Mentioning farmhouses, Grandpa Li gets angry.
"What are you talking about Those houses are empty, who do you think they're for"
"Every household is doing farm tourism, but no one comes. Now all the young people have gone out to work, and there are only a few of us old folks left in the village."
"When a few of us old folks are gone, this village will be completely empty."
Thinking about the future, when they're all gone, this village will be deserted. Grandpa Li thought about it and felt a little sad.
Although we were poor and lived in a small house before, our village was lively and everyone, young and old, participated in everything.
Now that I have money, the house is big and spacious, but no one lives in it.hat I peed my pants. Everyone around me looked disgusted and moved a few steps back.Wu Zhenghao was shocked and dazed. He turned to look at Yang Fan, "You... how did you know about all this"Yang Fan c...
