Chapter 224

What else is there to say?

Curse her for being stingy! Just for this little bit of stuff, she wants them to come and take photos? In her dreams!

Everyone was cursing by the pond, but Zhang Zhang Yanping's phone kept buzzing with notifications; there were already no fewer than three private messages—

【I'm from our city's photography association, I'll bring my camera tomorrow.】

【I won second place in the 20xx Autumn Theme Photography Competition...】

【My camera is xx...】

Zhang Zhang Yanping, while picking through the photos everyone sent, was also skillfully organizing and launching the group-buying mini-program—

【The group-buying mini-program for out-of-town customers is here! Convenient and fast, take your pick.】

The pictures were all taken with his phone, relatively perfunctory, but fortunately, it was sent to their own vegetable-buying group, so no one was picky.

Everyone in the group was very supportive, especially Xiao Feng, who sells scallion oil rolls. She bought twenty jin of scallions out of the thirty jin available.

After finishing, she had to send a separate message:

【I have to sell rolls in the morning, I'm afraid I won't make it to the vegetable market, so I'll place the order here first. No need for express delivery, I'll pick it up myself.】

【May I ask if I can restock? I didn't buy them all because I was afraid others wouldn't be able to buy any. If I can restock, I'll take another twenty jin.】

Such good scallions, must buy plenty and chop them into scallion flowers to freeze in the freezer for peace of mind.

Zhang Zhang Yanping:...

Fine, this is also good; it makes the place look popular.

The mini-program was for vegetables that everyone was used to, so as soon as it was listed, orders kept coming in. Only the honey and tea, which were relatively expensive, had no movement yet.

But the price was set there. If anyone wants to buy, they can just pay and leave their address. Zhang Zhang Yanping told Song Tan, then turned around and continued huffing and puffing while moving stuff.

Song Tan didn't look closely either and forwarded it to Huo Huo Xueying. It was already eight o'clock, and she had to hurry to town to buy some meat and vegetables, and incidentally, lead the engineering team to recognize the way.

Just as she was listening to Seventh Grandpa report the vegetables, she heard the sound of a motorcycle at the door; Brother Wu Lei Lei and Zhu Li had arrived.

Stumbling to park the motorcycle on the side of the road, the two of them didn't look very good, truly appearing a bit shaken.

For the big event of moving, Wu Lan couldn't bear to go up the mountain to pick tea, but stayed at home watching her things. Seeing them come out now, she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised:

"Oh my, Xiao Lei is here! This is..."

Her eyes were full of surprise, already having a guess.

Brother Wu Lei Lei's face was pale, with a hint of blue, and he managed a forced smile: "This is my girlfriend, Zhu Li. Auntie, you can just call her Lili."

"Oh my!" Wu Lan was delighted and hurriedly greeted them: "You brought your girlfriend back, why didn't your mom tell me? Come, come, come, is it a bit cold this morning? Look at this little face, it's so pale—do you want hot water? I'll pour you two cups of honey water."

The two of them barely twitched their lips, struggling to show a smile. Only then did Zhu Li say, still shaken: "Auntie, your mountain road is so scary."

Of course it is. With Brother Wu Lei Lei's half-baked skills, riding the motorcycle slowly over, the two of them were truly scared enough.

Wu Lan also said "Oh my": "I was wondering why you looked so pale; the road is a bit steep—if I had known, I would have asked Tantan to bring you along when she finished buying vegetables. Come, come, come, I'll pour you honey water to calm your nerves; this honey is very good."

Since relatives are here, she wouldn't be stingy with a whole bottle, so why would she be stingy with two cups?

She turned to pour the water.

But Zhu Li had already subconsciously touched her face: "Ah, does my complexion look really bad? Auntie, where is the mirror? I want to go touch up my makeup."

She was going to livestream in a bit.

Wu Lan was hosting them with full joy, not knowing that last night, Brother Wu Lei Lei had already been lectured by his mother: "You're such a grown-up, how can you still be so immature! You're far behind Tantan!"

"You brought your girlfriend back without telling me in advance. Mom didn't prepare any dishes, and the room was cleaned in a rush—not thoroughly cleaned at all. If that girl sees it, she'll think we look down on her."

Brother Wu Lei Lei was also short of breath: "It's okay, Mom. Lili heard that Tantan's peach orchard is in bloom and wanted to go see it. We originally wanted to go straight to her house, but she said she was moving and had no place to stay, so we came back to stay for one night. We didn't have time to notify you..."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything; once he did, the eldest aunt was even angrier!

"You also know Tantan is moving! You're about the same age, and you don't know how to care about others! Your aunt has been so busy lately that she hasn't had a moment to rest. Your dad and I have been helping for a long time, where would we have time to host people!"

"You just want to take Lili to see it during the farm's slack season. She's building a house right now, it's a mess; aren't you intentionally causing trouble for your aunt?"

"Besides, you're taking your girlfriend over, your aunt will have to give you a red envelope. Do you plan to go empty-handed like this?"

One thing after another, Brother Wu Lei Lei couldn't even lift his head.

He hurriedly explained: "Mom, Lili isn't just going to play. She's a streamer, you know? She livestreams on Tremolo and makes money from it."

"Tantan's place has good scenery, she plans to go over and film it. We decided on the spur of the moment..."

Once this was said, the eldest aunt's target was originally her son, but her heart couldn't help but mutter about that Lili—

This, she hasn't even come to visit the house yet, why is she so unceremonious about planning to go directly to a relative's house?

But thinking that young people nowadays make friends and don't care about those things like in the past, she had no choice but to silently go to the room and pack two barrels of oil: "Take this to your aunt tomorrow. There are many people eating at her house, it's essential."

It's a gesture of goodwill.

Turning around, she started worrying again: This girl isn't visiting the house properly, she's just staying for the night. Should she still give a red envelope?

If she gives one, should she give it as a proper future daughter-in-law? Or...

Sigh.

In the middle of the night, the eldest aunt suffered from total insomnia.

Remembering his mother's muttering, Brother Wu Lei Lei also looked pale. At this moment, he took the two barrels of oil off the footboard:

"Auntie, I know you're busy, I..."

"Oh my!" Wu Lan looked at him reproachfully: "Why bring things! Besides, it's not me who's busy, it's all Tantan finding people—what does Lili like to eat? I'll ask Tantan to buy some vegetables."

Zhu Li was just applying powder to her face with a puff. Hearing this, she made a delicate and obedient look: "Auntie, no trouble. I'm on a diet recently, just eating some vegetables is fine."

Wu Lan thought: She's as thin as a stick, and she's still on a diet?

Turning around, she handed over the honey water: "I see you're very slim, it's fine to eat more occasionally. Auntie's food at home is delicious!"

Zhu Li smiled: "Thank you, Auntie—I heard there's a peach orchard on your mountain, and the flowers are beautiful! Where is it?"
