Chapter 141: What a coincidence

Chuxue replied directly: "I’ll be back soon. We’ll talk after you finish unloading."

Fu Yancheng was in a good mood now: "Alright, it will be done soon."

Watching Fu Yancheng, who was smiling and turning to get into the truck, she felt this person was a bit strange.

Seeing the truck drive away, Chuxue turned and walked toward the aunt’s house: "Auntie, I’m here?"

"Chuxue, come in quickly."

Seeing the woman busy in the field with her butt in the air: "Auntie, what are you busy with?"

The woman straightened her waist, smiled, and pointed to the basket outside the fence with her muddy fingers: "I asked for a few more strawberry seedlings, thinking I’d plant a few myself so the greedy cats at home could have a treat."

Chuxue walked up to the basket; there were seven or eight of them: "Auntie, thank you so much. How should I trade for these?"

The woman waved her hand with a smile: "There aren't many in total, just take them and plant them. No need to trade. I only said that in front of so many people because I was afraid they would all ask me for some."

"That won't do. These strawberry seedlings are rare, how can I take them for nothing?"

She thought for a moment, and currently, she could only take out fish: "Auntie, I’ll catch some fish later and send you one. You can't refuse, or I won't have the face to ask you for help in the future."

"Fine, fine, fine, then I’m getting a big bargain."

Chuxue made up her mind to send two fish later—one for the aunt’s family and another for her to send to her maiden family to repay a favor.

Coming out of the aunt’s house, she directly put two strawberry seedlings into her space and prepared to plant the rest in the newly allocated self-retained land later, which could also serve as a cover for the strawberries produced in the space.

As soon as she arrived at the new house, she was pulled aside by Liu Mu: "What’s going on? Why did that Comrade Fu come again?"

Chuxue looked left and right: "He got some river sand that was used to repay a favor, and thinking we could use it, he sent it over."

Liu Mu didn't understand: "River sand used to repay a favor?"

Chuxue looked at Liu Mu and simply told her what Fu Yancheng had said before: "That’s how it is."

Liu Mu looked bewildered: "What a coincidence?"

Chuxue shrugged: "Anyway, that’s what he said. Since he already sent it, it wouldn't be right to let him pull it back."

Liu Mu looked up at the sky: "It’s getting late, I’m going home to cook. Keep Comrade Fu for a meal before you go later."

After saying this, she walked away quickly.

Chuxue watched Liu Mu leave in a hurry and thought: He said he still had to train the dog, so he would definitely stay for lunch.

She had just planted the few strawberry seedlings when she heard the sound of the truck.

Fu Yancheng stopped the truck and walked toward the self-retained land with big strides: "Chuxue, have you decided where to unload the rest of the sand?"

Chuxue looked at him blankly: "Why are you still..."

Before she could finish asking, she heard Fu Yancheng say: "We’ve dealt with each other so many times, we can be considered acquaintances. Calling you 'Comrade Liu' is too distant. Can I call you 'Chuxue'?"

Chuxue wanted to roll her eyes at him. You’ve already called me that, what’s the point of asking? "Yes."

Fu Yancheng stopped while he was ahead and didn't dare to say anything else, fearing he was too impatient and would scare the little girl.

Chuxue walked forward: "Uncle Liangzi, Comrade Fu said there is still some sand on the truck. Where do you think is appropriate to unload it?"

Liangzi looked around: "I’ll have people clear that side. Have him unload it there later. Whether it’s used in the courtyard or for reinforcing the slopes in the future, it will be very convenient. Besides, that side is just a shallow pit, so there won't be any loss even if it rains."

"Fine, then unload it there."

After saying this, she pointed to that spot for Fu Yancheng, signaling him to drive the truck over.
