Chapter 146: Chapter 136: Is the Group Favorite Finally Falling to Him? (Double-Length)
Ji Xizhi and Qin Yutian, Zhu Xiu’an and Bai Xing shared one car.
Sheng Yaoyao, Guan Fengyan, Zhong Yulu, and Zou Li shared another.
Ji Xizhi was about to get in the car when she saw several villagers from nearby villages jogging over from a distance.
Director Wang saw this scene and immediately thought of the long string of local specialties that almost overflowed the car back in Ping’an Village.
Director Wang was shocked: Again?!
Director Wang watched as the villagers came over, each carrying a red gift box bag.
The foremost, Director Wan, directly handed the gift box in his hand to Director Wang.
“Director Wang, these are some local specialties prepared by the villagers, homemade chili sauce, the best-selling one in our live stream. We’ve prepared a portion for everyone to thank the program team for their care.”
Director Wang: It’s actually for him!
Director Wang was almost bubbling with happiness. He’s certainly not lacking in chili sauce, but these were voluntarily sent by the villagers, which is different!
Last time in Ping’an Village, he was sour for several days, not because he craved the food but because he envied the friendship.
Now it seems the villagers’ favorite has finally fallen on him?!
Director Wang happily accepted the gift box, thanking them repeatedly.
After exchanging pleasantries, he watched as Director Wan distributed the remaining gift boxes to the other guests, one per person, thoughtfully.
When it came to Ji Xizhi’s turn, the villagers skirted around her.
In the whole group of guests, only Ji Xizhi didn’t receive a gift box; everyone else did.
Director Wang was stunned.
Ji Xizhi didn’t get one? That’s strange! That’s not reasonable?!
Director Wang scratched his head, just about to ask, when he saw Director Wan, having finished distributing the gift boxes, return to Ji Xizhi.
Director Wan didn’t give Ji Xizhi a gift box. Instead, he took out his phone from his pocket. His voice became a few degrees more affectionate as he said:
“Zhi Zhi, this is the group our village set up, would you like to join?”
Ji Xizhi didn’t think much about it, “Sure.”
She opened WeChat and scanned to join the group, probably because the village might have something to ask her later, making it convenient.
After joining the group, Aunt He stepped out from behind Director Wan. She clapped her hands and said, “Alright, sweetheart, when you get home, send us an address. We’ve prepared some chili sauce, honey, canola oil, sweet potato vermicelli, wheat flour… and a lot of local specialties for you, we’ll mail them to the city in a couple of days.”
Aunt He rattled off a list of local specialties, almost listing everything from Lishui County.
Nearby, Director Wang: “???” Mail… mail?
Aunt He: “It’s heavy to carry these things back, but the village products are of good quality, much nicer than what you buy in the city! Luckily, express delivery is now also available, and it’s convenient for us to send them to you!”
Carry! Heavy?!
No wonder they didn’t give Ji Xizhi a gift box—they didn’t want to burden her?
Director Wang was bewildered: “…”
His recently burning heart made a “plop” into the water puddle.
Director Wang was still in a daze.
Ji Xizhi, upon hearing Aunt He’s words, immediately began waving her hands, “Auntie, everyone keep it for yourselves to eat, I don’t need it…”
Before she could finish declining, Director Wan sternly said, “You donated so much equipment to various villages and taught us so many things. What’s a little stuff?! Eat with confidence, we can afford it!”
Director Wan finished speaking, and without waiting for Ji Xizhi to refuse further, pushed her directly into the car.
After pushing her in, he saw Director Wang standing aside.
Director Wan nodded, “Safe travels!”
Director Wang: “…Thank you.”
The long convoy drove out of the village, and it wasn’t until Director Wang was seated in the car that he recalled Director Wan seemed to have mentioned something, donating equipment?
What equipment was donated?
Director Wang wanted to ask Ji Xizhi, but since they weren’t in the same car, he could only wait until they got on the bus to ask.
Going back was different from coming, with the cars, everyone had a new life experience.
The sea of rapeseed flowers, after being washed by the rain for the past few days, became more vibrant, with bright yellow flowers layered like golden waves, sending everyone further ahead.
The cars traversed the small road and quickly reached the bus on the side of the highway.
The guests, still like when they came, switched from cars to the bus.
This time, including the guest appearances, there were eight guests in total.
On the way back, Zhu Xiu’an had clearly mastered the traffic regulations. He not only fastened his own seat belt but also reminded Qin Yutian.
Ji Xizhi got on the bus planning to take out her laptop to look at something.
Before opening it, she heard Bai Xing from the diagonal back seat handing over a pair of headphones.
“Sister Zhi Zhi, would you like to listen?”
