Then he turned his attention back to the goji berries on the ground.
As before, he used a shovel to load all the goji berries into nylon bags.
The truck had just returned, so he would load it up shortly and take it straight to Old Zhao.
With this in mind, he felt so hesitation.
After all, delivering them would involve weighing and inspecting the goods, indeed a ti-consuming task.
Right now, the child was at Aunt Zhang’s house next door, his wife was still in the hospital, he had to cook for his wife and also had to drive back and forth.
He really didn’t have the leisure to watch them weigh the berries bag by bag.
Thinking this, his gaze fell on the hoe that had been bought specifically for the Spirit Field last ti.
His eyebrows twitched as if he had an idea.
Maybe later he could call over Tian Laosì to help him watch over the weighing of the goji berries while he went straight to the hospital to take care of his wife.
He could also settle the bill for the land maintenance work from the other ti, pay him a total of one hundred yuan.
No matter how you calculated it, Tian wouldn’t be at a loss.
Plus, Tian Laosì was a reliable man and genuinely kind toward him.
Having him take care of it would certainly pose no problem at all.
Yeah, that’s what he’d do.
There were quite a few goji berries, taking up twenty-three nylon bags, three more than the last ti.
After finishing all this, Gu Chen was pretty tired.
But he didn’t stop, instead, he went to get so of the transparent plastic bags left over from when he was selling broccoli.
Then he picked a good amount of fresh cherries from the cherry tree.
Since Dandan loved eating them, he’d keep a bag for Dandan, and bring the rest for Ji Pianran to eat tomorrow!
…
Once everything was dealt with, Gu Chen moved the goji berries as well as the cherries out of the space.
By this ti, Dandan had woken up, and as Gu Chen stepped out of the space and into the yard, he could hear the cheerful “giggles” coming from next door at Aunt Zhang’s house.
Gu Chen couldn’t help but smile involuntarily; the little guy had woken up just in ti.
He turned around and walked into the yard of Aunt Zhang’s house.
At this mont, Tian Laosì happened to co out to use the toilet.
The two of them bumped into each other face-to-face.
Upon seeing Gu Chen, Tian Laosì quickly approached with a concerned expression, “Chenzi, tell , did sothing happen at ho?”
He had heard from Shen Cuilan the night before that Dandan had stayed overnight at Aunt Zhang’s house!
Although Gu Chen had been indifferent to the mother and daughter in recent years, as long as Ji Pianran was around, Dandan had never spent the night at soone else’s house.
They were all neighbors, and in such a small village, everyone knew everyone else’s business.
Hearing his question, Gu Chen nodded, “Yeah, Pian Ran is in the hospital.”
Being neighbors, Tian Laosì also felt a twinge of concern upon hearing that Ji Pianran was hospitalized.
“What happened? It’s not serious, is it?”
“There was a polyp in her stomach, but she underwent surgery today and it went smoothly. She should be able to leave the hospital tomorrow,” Gu Chen said.
Relieved that the surgery went well, Tian Laosì breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
With the way Gu Chen adored Ji Pianran, if anything really happened to her, Gu Chen would be beside himself.
Gu Chen smiled at Tian Laosì, “Right, brother Four, I have a favor to ask you.”
When Tian Laosì heard he was being asked for help, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity, “What is it? Just say it; I’ll do my best to help if I can!”
Tian Laosì might not have much influence, but when it ca to helping Gu Chen, he’d spare no effort.
Gu Chen licked his lips and turned his head to indicate the twenty-odd bags of goji berries he’d placed in the yard.
“Those are goji berries, they’re for the Auspicious Dried Goods Company in the city. I was supposed to deliver them, but with Pian Ran being sick and needing to visit her at the hospital, I’m a bit too busy to handle it. The goods need to be weighed and inspected upon delivery, and this delays things.”
Hearing this, Tian Laosì seed a bit confused.
He looked at Gu Chenzi with a puzzled face, “Do you want to watch them check and weigh the goods…”
Gu Chenzi nodded, giving Tian Laosì a thumbs up, “When it cos to being clever, no one beats Fourth Brother!”
Tian Laosì chuckled, “Clever? It was just a guess.”
Gu Chenzi nodded.
“Later I’ll take you to the Auspicious Dried Goods Company, and then I’m heading to the hospital. For the rest, just help keep an eye on things, especially the weight. It should be a bit over two thousand three hundred pounds, no less, make sure to rember that.”
As the saying goes, while one should not harbor ill will towards others, one must always be on guard.
Although Boss Zhao was generous and fairly straightforward, that was when I was around. Today Tian Laosì would go, and if he took advantage of Tian Laosì’s unfamiliarity with the goods to play tricks…
It would be my loss.
Gu Chenzi explained carefully.
After listening, Tian Laosì nodded seriously, “Don’t worry, I’ve got it down. It’s not a difficult task. Wait for , I’ll go change my shoes.”
He had just co to use the bathroom and hadn’t planned on going out, wearing muddy shoes suited for farming, spattered with dirt and clods.
If he was going into town, naturally, he had to change into a clean pair.
Gu Chenzi pulled out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Tian Laosì, “Then I’m troubling you with this errand, Fourth Brother.”
Seeing Gu Chen offering money, and a hundred yuan at that,
Tian Laosì was startled and hurriedly pushed Gu Chenzi’s hand back.
“What’s this for? This little favor doesn’t need money!”
This Gu Chenzi, he’s too generous.
Handing over a hundred yuan just like that.
In this world, if soone says they don’t love money, don’t doubt it, they’re either very rich or there’s sothing wrong with their character, treating you like a fool.
Tian Laosì might be honest, but that didn’t an he didn’t love money.
But he knew what money he could take and what he couldn’t.
If he took money for such a trivial favor, what would that make Tian Laosì!
“Fourth Brother, I’ve not yet paid you for the last ti you plowed the field, and now I’m asking for your help again. If you don’t take this, I’ll feel uneasy asking for your help next ti,” Gu Chenzi said politely.
“That’s what I should do. It’s just a bit of labor, no need for money!” Tian Laosì refused firmly with words,
yet his heart was still filled with the thought that having money must be nice.
“No way, Fourth Brother. Life is hard for everyone. If you don’t take it, then I’ll deliver the goji berries myself. I can’t keep troubling you.”
The expression on Gu Chenzi’s face was sowhat stern.
Tian Laosì was honest and kind, and treated others sincerely, which were his virtues.
It was exactly because of this, that Gu Chenzi felt even more obliged to give him the money.
You can’t take advantage of honest people, right?
These days, nobody has it easy.
With the conversation having reached this point, Tian Laosì found it difficult to refuse any further.
He looked at Gu Chenzi, his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude.
Bitting his lip, he finally said, “Then I thank you.”
To tell the truth, he was just a farr; his wife didn’t work, and he was just barely making ends et. A hundred yuan was indeed a lot and could buy quite a bit of food.
Gu Chenzi patted Tian Laosì on the shoulder, his lips curved into a smile.
“It’s who should be thanking you.”
Ti’ang Ti’ang had been happily playing in the yard, but upon hearing his father’s voice outside,
the little guy imdiately dropped his toy and scampered outside.
Daddy!
It was daddy!
How she had missed her father!
Gu Chenzi was still talking to Tian Laosì when he saw Sugar rushing out of Aunt Zhang’s yard and leaping towards him.
His face changed, frightened that the child might miss and fall again, so he quickly squatted down and spread his arms wide.
