Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 451 - 24: Disappointed at Someone’s Failure to Meet Expectations_2
Old Zheng felt a bit tempted:
"So how do we get in touch?"
Chen Changhai, although in business, remained cautious, yet having done several trades with them, he became a bit bolder.
"I live at Ning City Hua Jia Lane, feel free to find me then."
Hearing it’s Ning City, the two were quite intrigued: "Didn’t you say you’ve been all around the country? Turns out this is your hometown."
Chu River thought of the address he gave, feeling a bit disdainful at that moment.
Chen Changhai shamelessly said, "Isn’t it because I’m afraid you’ll set me up?"
If he’d get caught while buying something, he’d be greatly wronged.
...
The people at the exit were numerous, Chu River carrying a big bag on her back looked a bit intimidating. Those passing by, upon realizing there’s a frail-looking girl under the bag, would subconsciously step aside, afraid of accidentally bumping her and causing her to lose balance and fall.
However, one must admit, there are many kind people nowadays.
Just along this stretch of road, several people had already offered to lend a hand.
Chu River stood at the exit, sighing, "I do have some good fortune with people."
Chen Changhai looked at her, thinking: It’s because people see you as a poor little thing oppressed by wealthy landlords.
But, he dared not say that, instead just tiptoed and looked around: "Did you notify anyone beforehand? Is anyone coming to pick us up or not?"
Chu River nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, there must be someone. I’ve got my own supplies; if they don’t come to get me, I’ll break their leg."
The last sentence was said in a huffy tone, evidently not seeing any sign of them.
...
Old Zheng received word saying someone would pick him up, but he wasn’t sure, so he just stood there silently.
Before long, two people got off a military vehicle diagonally ahead. Without confirming any details, a tall man among them smiled and waved to Chu River from afar.
"Little He!"
Shi Suifeng rarely showed such passion, his companion curiously glanced at him, and then saw Chu River, along with Old Zheng beside her.
Looking again, the elderly was holding a boy, wearing shabby glasses...
Could it be that this is who he’s supposed to pick up as well!
Chen Changhai, seeing the green military uniform nearby, almost reflexively wanted to walk away due to his background as a trader, but ultimately held his ground.
Feeling both anxious and delighted at the possibility
that the people arriving with a military vehicle have a big background, and meeting them was quite an achievement.
Truly living up to my expectations!
...
Shi Suifeng was actually prepared mentally, thinking Little He, being considerate, must have brought some food on her own.
But to not have anticipated the enormity of her ’preparations’ at all.
The heap in front of them nearly engulfed Chu River entirely. Shi Suifeng reached out to take the sack off her back...
And then...
This tough warrior’s knees almost buckled slightly.
It was...
Heavy, as hell!
He grimaced as he struggled to casually place the sack onto the ground, while a young warrior who had just taken Old Zheng’s luggage swiftly, looked at him eagerly.
"Captain Shi, I’ll take it for you!"
He saw the young girl carrying it all the way, so by all means, he could do it too!
Although the sack was large, it seemed filled with just bedding, no real weight to it!
The young man, with nowhere to expend his zeal, now grabbed the sack with both hands and tried to embrace it—
"Ugh!"
The first attempt, the sack didn’t budge.
"Heh—ugh!"
The second attempt, he panted fiercely from his chest.
The young man flushed red in the face.
Consider this: previously, two young police officers only lifted it two inches. With the angle disadvantage he had, no matter how strong he was, he managed to lift just a corner.
Chu River thought—it’s a whole pig in that big bag!
Along with several other foodstuffs.
It’s the second-largest wild boar, only twenty pounds less than the one sold, totaling over three hundred pounds!
If the preserved meat hadn’t been packed in specially bought plastic jars, but rather in ceramic ones, he wouldn’t even be able to lift that corner.
...
The young man gave up midway carrying luggage, and once on the vehicle, he fell silent a lot more. Shi Suifeng, having some conscience, realizing it wasn’t because the soldier was too weak, started a conversation:
"Little He, feeling uncomfortable in this vehicle?" Heard many get dizzy their first time.
As for the train... seeing her vibrant demeanor, no need to even ask.
