Chapter 398
A chartered ride-hailing car would cost at most 600 yuan.
But Guo Dong really couldn't care about that much right now. She pointed to the driver's ID and license plate: "I'm taking a photo."
The driver was used to it and took the initiative to point out the information in the car to her: "It's all here, our company has records—by the way, which village are you going to? It's too remote and I won't be able to find it; do you have navigation?"
Guo Dong didn't know either.
But it didn't matter, the map could locate it. She then put on a determined look: "I can, a relative in my hometown has something going on and is urging me, just follow the navigation."
As she spoke, she got into the back seat.
The air conditioning in the car was a bit cold, but Guo Dong didn't say anything. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached into the hem of her plaid dress, and pulled something out—
Whoa!
It scared the driver, who didn't even dare to look in the rearview mirror—
The next moment, he saw that from the hem of the plaid dress, a pair of lightweight summer sweatpants legs were pulled down and directly covered her ankles.
Then came the other pant leg.
Then Guo Dong untied the knot of the shirt dress at her waist, revealing the simple pure white T-shirt underneath. The plaid skirt at her waist and hips became a wide, wrinkled black-gray cotton-linen shirt. She shook it and put it on as a jacket.
Driver:...
The old master began to feel a bit uneasy.
Just... his price for going to the countryside wasn't that high, right? This, this, this... why is this like a spy war?
He peeked back cautiously, only to see the young girl in the back seat, who looked like a college student, wearing a wide shirt jacket, black sweatpants with gathered cuffs underneath, and breathable mesh sneakers on her feet...
No matter how you looked at it, she was just an ordinary college student!
He took another look, and the college student was removing her earring to use as a card pin, taking out the SIM card tray—
Holy crap! This is even more like it!
The driver perked up, his eyes fixed on the street, and he didn't look back again.
Naturally, he didn't see Guo Dong swapping SIM 1 and SIM 2, and performing a series of blacklist operations and call blocking...
Stable.
SIM 1 was now for clients and classmates, SIM 2 was left for family and relatives—might as well block them all, including setting WeChat to "Do Not Disturb."
The car slowly drove onto the main road, and Guo Dong finally revealed a relaxed smile.
On her phone, the last message on SIM 2 was sent to the blacklisted 【Mom】:
【The result of a girl going to college is that I built you a new house and left you money for your old age. I sold the medicinal herbs in the cabinet to someone else; there's still 30,000 yuan of the balance unpaid. If you don't want this 30,000, then go ahead and ruin the herbs.】
【Besides, you can call the police—the police will check these messages. Nothing happened to me; I just can't accept you, or the remarriage, the gambler, and the various blind date targets you arranged for me.】
Song Tan had already entertained the two installation workers with great enthusiasm at home. After lunch, they took the basic survey data and left.
Of course, while everyone was carrying bulging large bags, they couldn't help but leave something behind, such as the balance in their bank accounts...
And here, Song Tan had just finished recording today's income when she saw Wu Lan asking her excitedly:
"Is there really someone who wants to buy the Cherokee roses on the mountain? Did they say how much?"
She was eager to try but also a bit disgusted: "Those thorns are too many. Look online and see what tool to use to pick them?"
They were still blooming now, so it wasn't convenient to use large shears on the whole branch.
"Your grandmother was still saying yesterday that in previous years, someone bought this stuff for 30 yuan a jin. I was planning to ask if anyone is buying this year?"
30 yuan a jin?
Song Tan wouldn't do that: "I can sell a handful of fresh Cherokee rose flowers for 300..."
That's true, they bloom really beautifully.
However, Wu Lan still patted her arm lightly: "Look at how arrogant you are... who has so much money to burn that they'd buy these wild flowers?"
】
"Mom, don't look down on the rich people nowadays."
Song Tan was just joking. Seeing her mother unconvinced, she simply picked a flower video account:
"Look at this bouquet of flowers, the boss clearly states the price, this one bouquet is over 10,000."
Wu Lan:...
She squinted her eyes and took two looks, confirming that this was a world she didn't understand.
It was Seventh Uncle who said slowly: "If you really want to sell these Cherokee roses, I'll find someone for you later. I knew someone before who specifically buys wild materials."
"If he thinks our Cherokee roses are truly effective, they can definitely sell for a high price."
"No rush." Song Tan was steady:
"Isn't there someone who is in a hurry to buy and willing to spend 500 yuan just for the address? Let's wait for her to come and give us a quote before we decide."
Because of those 500 yuan, the two installers each took an extra bag of white fungus when they left!
Young people doing business have too many tricks, and the prices are also outrageous. Wu Lan couldn't keep up anymore, so she simply went outside the courtyard to turn and dry the black fungus.
And Song Youde couldn't sit still either, hurriedly taking Grandma back:
"The grass I'm drying also needs to be spread with some plant ash for disinfection, and then turned over again."
Well, the whole family was making money in full swing. Grandpa, on the other hand, had unknowingly eaten an extra bowl of rice. He was rubbing his belly and slowly directing Qiaoqiao:
"Push me to the wall, I want to stand for a bit. I ate too much, it's a bit uncomfortable..."
"Okay!" Qiaoqiao happily pushed the wheelchair, and then his tall frame supported Grandpa. While his eyes were fixed on the big TV in the living room, he stood there steadily as a human crutch, both tasks not delayed.
This harmonious scene made Grandma's heart feel warm—how should she put it?
Although it was still not as comfortable as her own home, there were children here. Usually, there were no children at home!
And there was such delicious food, the house and yard were spacious, and the nights were sweet even in her dreams!
Grandma's dreams were sweet, but Brother Wu Lei Lei's dreams were full of misery and bitterness.
For no other reason.
His work content had changed recently, so he had less and less energy to communicate with Lili in a sweet, baby-talk way in time.
And so, his girlfriend seemed to be angry.
At noon, everyone was taking a nap, each in their own room, not disturbing each other. Brother Wu Lei Lei hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on Zhang Yanping's door—
"What?"
Zhang Yanping was staring at the data on Taobao, calculating the orders that had gone out from his side—
Although the fishing group couldn't provide him with any extra money anymore, the customers he had gradually accumulated by selling tea in his circle of friends some time ago now also brought commissions—
Oh my! He was truly worthy of being his sister Tantan's man.
Although she was a bit stingy at first, as the business grew bigger, she became more and more generous. Plus this salary from Taobao...
So sweet!
And Brother Wu Lei Lei stared at Zhang Yanping, really unable to bring himself to speak.
But looking at the messages on his phone that hadn't received a reply all day, he finally gritted his teeth:
"Can you talk to Tantan and arrange fewer tasks for me a day?"
