Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Got it wrong Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Got it wrong i Yinan’s words were polite, but her hands were not as they unceremoniously took the vegetables that Fan Tianyu had brought back.
Fan Tianyu was speechless, “That’s enough, these were what Zhenzhen asked to bring over. She went and dragged two carts of vegetables back, one cart of vegetables and at and the other cart full of fruit.”
The couple was taken aback, and Fan Hongwei asked, “We went to the market this morning, but the vendor wasn’t out yet. It’s madness there, every day there’s a bunch of people surrounding the area trying to find that vendor, but no one can quite figure out who it is. I’ve only heard it’s a high school student, but with no na and no ntion of which high school, where are we supposed to look?
Hearing this, Fan Tianyu felt a strange sensation inside, but couldn’t quite pinpoint what was odd about it. Since he couldn’t figure it out, he stopped thinking about it, “I guess she went to the vendor’s house to get them. Zhenzhen said that person is really weird, only sells vegetables to her, so she brought back two large crates of them. I just towed her cart into their house, and she imdiately asked to deliver these to you. Mom, you better sort these vegetables quickly. It’s hot and there’s at, don’t let it spoil.”
The at was so delicious, it would be such a waste if it spoiled.
i Yinan quickly took the vegetables into the kitchen, sorted them out, bagged them, and stuffed them into the refrigerator. When she finally ca out of the kitchen, she had ti to ask, “You just brought these back, did you pay for them? Those vegetables from that household aren’t cheap. Our family can’t afford to let Zhenzhen foot the bill for our als.”
“I didn’t, I was actually planning to give all of my last month’s salary to Zhenzhen the day I leave. I have 2800 from my wages, I haven’t spent a cent, there should be so left, but I haven’t done it since I’m not leaving yet,” Fan Tianyu explained as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
i Yinan didn’t understand, “Even if you’re not leaving, you can still give it to her. This way, they’ll think you’re freeloading, don’t you feel embarrassed?”
“But I live there, and what if Zhenzhen doesn’t accept the money? That way, when I leave, I can just insist on giving it to her. She’ll have to take it even if she doesn’t want to. I think that’s better.”
Fan Hongwei cast a glance at his son, “So you’re living there without any sense of burden because of that, right?”
“Hehe, but Chenchen is starting school tomorrow, and I haven’t left yet, so I plan to go with Mom to take Chenchen to kindergarten. I’ll do the pick-ups and drop-offs while I’m here.”
He hadn’t had the chance to talk to his family about the morning’s events yet. He ca back this ti intending to give a brief explanation, “My startup fell through before, and now I’m out of a job. I’m thinking of adjusting my state of mind and deciding whether to look for a job or to start sothing on my own.”
Fan Hongwei had no objections, “Alright, as long as you have your own plans and ideas, that’s good. It doesn’t matter if the startup failed, just make sure you don’t live carelessly.”
i Yinan asked, “Do you have enough money? You’re planning to give your salary to Zhenzhen, but if you do, you won’t have a penny left to go out with.”
“I’ve been working for more than just this one month, I still have a bit of money left, but not much.” Besides, he hadn’t yet decided what he wanted to do, there was no rush.
i Yinan murmured to herself, “Okay, just a mont.” After saying that, she went back to her room and rummaged through the wardrobe before returning to the living room, holding a stack of red bills in her hand.
i Yinan counted out the bills, one by one, until she had five thousand yuan which she handed to Fan Tianyu, “This money was originally intended for you anyway, but I hadn’t planned on giving you this much. But since you, as a brother, have a conscience and know better than to just freeload, I’ve decided that you should give three thousand to Zhenzhen and keep the remaining two thousand for yourself.”
i Yinan’s calculations were clear. Finding a job could be easy or difficult, there were plenty of jobs, but good ones weren’t so easy to co by. For now, Fan Tianyu was still thinking about future developnt, but how long that would take was uncertain. His son had a big appetite, i ngzhen’s vegetables weren’t cheap, and on top of that, he had brought them vegetables, plus there were occasional als at their place. The three thousand yuan she was able to give was all right, but whether it was enough, well, for the ti being, it was. If his stay got prolonged, they could always add more money. In any case, they wouldn’t let i ngzhen lose out on the deal, and it would also cover so of their expenses.
Needless to say, Fan Hongwei understood i Yinan’s thoughts, and he felt that his wife’s approach this ti was very good. As for Fan Tianyu, they needn’t worry too much. Although the boy was unreliable, he wasn’t without a sense of responsibility; he would surely think things through before deciding what to do next.
Having delivered the vegetables and received the money, Fan Tianyu left to go back.
The lunchti beef had indeed made her crave beef, and so, a tomato beef nan pot was promptly arranged.
One at dish, plus one vegetarian dish, was enough for the three of them to eat their fill.
The tomatoes in the tomato beef nan had been simred into a thick, tangy and sweet sauce, perfect for mixing with rice. They had finished the rice they previously had, so today’s rice ca from the space, grown and processed, and cooked with Spiritual Spring Water. You can imagine how delicious the rice was.
It had been a while since the siblings had eaten with Fan Tianyu, and they ended up with overstuffed bellies. The three of them went out to the front yard to walk around and help with digestion.
As they paced back and forth, Fan Tianyu suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, with a confused expression, he asked, “Zhenzhen, I always feel like there should be sothing here, but I just can’t rember what it is. Wasn’t there sothing placed here before?”
i ngzhen followed the direction Fan Tianyu was pointing, which was none other than where the Osmanthus Tree used to stand. Naturally, there had been sothing there. Before, i ngzhen found it strange that the large Osmanthus Tree in the front yard had disappeared and not a single person in the house had ntioned it. Though it was odd, she hadn’t asked as it was a difficult topic to broach. So, it seed that with the disappearance of the Osmanthus Tree, the mory of it had vanished from everyone’s minds as well. The Osmanthus Tree truly was a miraculous existence.
“There was never anything here. You must have rembered it wrong,” i ngzhen could only explain it this way.
Fan Tianyu frowned, “No, I’m sure there used to be sothing big here, otherwise why would I instinctively avoid this spot when taking a stroll? But why can’t I rember anything about it?”
i ngzhen explained hurriedly, “That ans you’re mistaken, this is what’s called the Mandela Effect.”
Fan Tianyu was baffled, “What’s the Mandela Effect?” He had never heard of it.
i ngzhen grew even more anxious, she had blurted out without thinking, but the Mandela Effect would only gradually enter the public eye in 2010, with its formal naming occurring in 2013. With so many similar events, it had reverberated for many years, which is why i ngzhen rembered it so vividly.
But for now, this effect was definitely premature, “It’s just a mory disorder, simply put, you rembered it wrong.”
