Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 592 - 77: What Exactly Can Our Girl Do?

The army green jeep roared past, a rare sight in this impoverished era, parking smoothly at the front of the new house.

The front gate was open, and Da Dan was accompanying an auntie out.

"Auntie, thanks to you, otherwise, we wouldn’t have had anything to eat for this meal. You’ve been a huge help!"

The auntie smiled broadly, warmth in her heart, but also a slight pang of guilt—

She thought, I made a special trip, bringing just some greens and a couple of handfuls of long beans, all grown in my own garden... Is it too meager?

Then she looked at the basket, there was a pack of biscuits inside!

Sold for 80 cents a pack at the supply and marketing cooperative!

With this thought, she felt a subtle sense of guilt for taking advantage of the kid, and patted Da Dan’s shoulder:

"Don’t worry, I didn’t know if your family would like it, I didn’t bring all the vegetables, since you can eat them, I’ll go home and bring you some more now!"

Before Da Dan could decline, she hurriedly added,

"They are all from my own garden, and if you refuse, I’ll be upset!"

With that, she picked up the basket and hurried away.

Da Dan: ...

Before he could gather his thoughts—

"Chu Yang!"

With comrades around, Shi Suifeng called Da Dan by his real name—

"Is the visitor a neighbor?"

Da Dan smiled contentedly, "Yes, they live next door to us, and they also have a big vegetable garden!"

The Aunt Niu next door was truly sincere.

She brought over a basket, packed tight with a bundle of greens tied with straw rope, probably weighing four or five pounds! There were also two bundles of long beans, one big bundle of tender ones, and one big bundle of mature ones...

If you were to buy them, it’d cost at least 60 cents!

And the pack of biscuits, Chen Changhai directly brought from the factory, costing only 40 cents each.

Even so, Aunt Niu had been full of gratitude, and more vegetables were likely to be delivered later...

But Da Dan didn’t mention any of this.

He just puzzledly looked at the adults and children following behind Shi Suifeng, "Uncle, who are these..."

Shi Suifeng introduced to him:

"These are my comrades: your Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhu, Uncle Wu, and this is your Uncle Zhu’s wife, and some of the kids of other uncles."

"Before you came, those snacks and treats you sent each month, I exchanged quite a few delicious things with the comrades. They knew you were coming, so they came to visit."

"In the future, if I’m not around and there’s something you need, you can also ask these uncles for help."

Da Dan’s eyes lit up.

——Uncle’s comrades must also be pretty capable.

If they encounter any difficulties and Uncle isn’t available, they wouldn’t be left without help.

Besides, knowing Uncle’s character, he wouldn’t diss his cooking as bad and claim to exchange it with others... Perhaps everyone really appreciates his culinary skills!

On this point, Da Dan, with a side income each month, was particularly confident.

Rounding up, these were all potential big clients for his future.

Thus, Da Dan’s smile grew even brighter.

"Come, uncles, it’s hot, so let’s sit in the yard and cool off for a bit, I’ll bring you some mint tea."

The mint extract was kept cool in the well. Now taking it out, with cold boiled water drawn from the same well, the bright green leaves unfolded, releasing a refreshing aroma.

...

Old Zhou, holding a big watermelon, nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the composed young man before him:

"Old Shi, you raised your nephew well! So, where’s the kitchen? I’ll cut this melon."

Da Dan had noticed everyone carrying things earlier, and he politely said, "Uncles come to visit, there’s no need to be so polite!"

As he skillfully took the watermelon, "This melon has been stuffy in the car for a while, it won’t taste good if it’s warm."

"How about waiting a little while, I’ll chill it in the well first, and you can cool off with some mint tea." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In the midst of summer, who would want to eat warm watermelon!

Old Zhu was envious at this moment, gave his son Da Mao a gentle smack:

"Look at you kids! Learn something!"

He wasn’t much older, but how come other people’s kid was so sensible?

Shi Suifeng smiled silently.

But Da Dan thought, with potential clients visiting, what special dish should be arranged for tonight?

While his mind calculated, his hands never stopped.

Yun Baoni, hearing the commotion, had already rushed out, deftly rinsing new cups and placing them there, while taking the mint from Da Dan’s hands. She asked with a cheerful smile:

"Uncles, aunties, and siblings, is there anything you avoid eating usually? We’ve been far apart for so many years, Uncle relies on everyone to take care, tonight we’ll surely prepare something better."
