493: Chapter 491 Pointed Remarks 493: Chapter 491 Pointed Remarks After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang didn’t think much and drove straight back to Liuhe Village.
At that ti it was just past half-past seven, almost eight o’clock.
Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao were carrying the lobsters down the mountain.
Chen Yang stopped the car in front of his ho and casually popped the trunk open.
“Uncle Niu, Elder Xiao, I’ll deliver the lobsters today.
Just move them to my car.”
Chen Yang jumped out of the car and said.
“Alright, no problem,”
Uncle Niu replied with a smile.
Then he and Elder Xiao imdiately started to transfer the lobsters.
Chen Yang didn’t just stand by, he went up to help.
During the process, these two elders naturally couldn’t stop talking and kept chatting with Chen Yang.
Their conversation drifted from one thing to another and sohow ended up on the topic of Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Yang Ruoxi.
“Yang Zi, Uncle Niu thinks you aren’t getting any younger.
It’s about ti to settle down, right?” Uncle Niu said with a hint of tease in his eyes as he looked at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was stunned for a mont, then smiled and replied, “I’m not in a hurry, there’s plenty of ti.”
“Heh heh, a big young man in his twenties still not in a hurry?
You may not be worried, but what about the girls?
Which family’s daughter can wait for you for years?”
Uncle Niu said laughingly.
Chen Yang had thought Uncle Niu was just making conversation.
But after hearing what Uncle Niu said, he imdiately sensed there was a suggestion behind his words.
Chen Yang was just about to ask Uncle Niu whom he was referring to.
When Elder Xiao suddenly joined the conversation.
“Yeah, Yang Zi, you can’t keep a girl waiting forever.
I think you should find an opportunity to settle things.
Marry all three back ho, and when the ti cos, young and old from the village will co to drink at your wedding,” Elder Xiao said.
“Heh heh, that’s right.”
Uncle Niu also nodded in agreent with a laugh.
Hearing these words, Chen Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
So they were talking about Wu Kexin, Li Han, and Yang Ruoxi…
“Elders, Uncle Niu, I’m aware of this matter.
I’ll tend to it when it’s ti.
For now, there’s no rush,” Chen Yang, unsure how to respond to Elder Xiao’s words, could only say that he was fully aware.
Then, he promptly closed the trunk, said he had to leave first, and drove off with the lobsters.
Chen Yang was quick.
Uncle Niu and Elder Xiao hadn’t even reacted by the ti Chen Yang’s car was already far away.
Watching the fading tail lights, Uncle Niu finally caught on.
“Hey, that kid sure slipped away fast.
There were still things I wanted to talk to him about.”
“What did you want to say?”
Elder Xiao glanced at Uncle Niu.
Uncle Niu glared back: “Nothing much, let’s hurry back after we finish up, it’s getting late.”
…
Half an hour after leaving Liuhe Village, Chen Yang arrived at Night Snack Street.
Perhaps because the workers usually transported the lobsters, when Chen Yang arrived at the back door today, nobody was there to et him.
So, Chen Yang had to take out his phone and call the old man.
“Old man, I’ve brought the lobsters, get a couple of workers to co and take them.”
“Arrived?”
“Okay, okay, okay, wait for a second, I’ll be right there.”
The old man quickly agreed, then hung up the phone.
Chen Yang stood by the back door waiting for a few minutes, and then the owners of various late-night snack shops ca together.
Lately, Chen Yang had been working very pleasantly with these owners.
Not only were Chen Yang’s lobsters large and delicious, surpassing those previously supplied by Wang Lao Si, but he also didn’t raise prices or take advantage of his position.
This earned the respect of all the owners.
As they approached, they greeted him as if he were a dear relative, overflowing with warmth.
“Aiyo, it’s been so long since we’ve seen you, Boss Chen.
Have you eaten yet?”
“Boss Chen, you’ve worked hard, I apologize for the inconvenience of having you make a special trip today.”
…
The other bosses were brimming with enthusiasm, eager to get closer to Chen Yang, but Chen Yang had no such intention.
He was just here to conduct business.
Apart from the old man, he had no ties with these people and he didn’t care to establish any.
So he directly said, “No problem, just passing by and thought I’d deliver the lobster, you guys go ahead and split it.”
“Hehe, okay, thank you, Boss Chen.”
Seeing Chen Yang’s indifferent attitude, the other bosses felt embarrassed to continue being overly enthusiastic, so they all went to the trunk of Chen Yang’s car and started dividing the lobster.
After collaborating for such a long period, all the bosses had developed an understanding.
They took as much as they should without the need to weigh or count.
Regarding Chen Yang’s character, these bosses still trusted him, which was evident from their simple exchanges in the past.
Moreover, if Chen Yang really wanted to cheat them, there was no need for such sneaky tactics like shortchanging, he could simply raise the prices blatantly.
After all, only Chen Yang had the lobster, even if the prices went up, plenty of people would still want to buy them.
Thus, the bosses quickly divided up the lobster and bid Chen Yang farewell.
Chen Yang also exchanged a few courteous words and saw the bosses off.
Only the old man was still standing there.
After watching all the other bosses leave, Chen Yang then turned to the old man with a smile.
“How have things been lately, old tir?
Is Mrs.
Cui recovering well?”
Chen Yang asked with concern.
The old man looked at Chen Yang gratefully, “Thanks to your blessing, Mrs.
Cui is a lot better now, her recovery is rapid, and Dr.
Wang said it won’t be long before she can be discharged.”
The old man’s tone was excited, Chen Yang could hear it.
“Hehe, it’s good to hear she’s doing well.
If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking off.
Call if anything cos up,” Chen Yang said with a light smile, with a clang, he closed the trunk and was ready to drive away.
But at that mont, the old man grasped his arm.
“Hey, hey, wait a mont, Boss Chen.”
The old man caught Chen Yang’s arm and said, “Boss Chen, I have sothing else I want to discuss with you.”
Chen Yang stopped and turned to the old man, “What’s up?”
“Hehe.”
The old man chuckled awkwardly as he rubbed his hands, sowhat sheepishly saying, “I was just wondering, do you take apprentices?”
“Huh?”
Chen Yang looked at him with surprise.
“Why are you asking this?
Don’t tell you want to learn lobster farming techniques?”
The old man looked quite embarrassed and waved his hands quickly, “No, no, not lobster farming.”
“So what do you want to learn?”
Chen Yang turned back, looking straight at the old man.
“Hehe.”
The old man laughed, speaking in an unhurried manner, “You see, ever since you cured my wife’s ALS, Xiao Cui has been wanting to study dicine with you.”
“So I ca to ask if you would consider taking on an apprentice, to teach Xiao Cui so dical skills.”
The old man spoke with a smile, revealing his intentions, and Chen Yang instantly understood.
It turned out that he didn’t want to learn how to make money; he wanted to learn dical skills.
However, my dical skills are not sothing just anyone can learn.
“Old man, I’m afraid that won’t work.
My dical skills can’t be learned by just anyone, and Xiao Cui has no foundation at all.
I can’t teach her,” Chen Yang thought it over and rejected the idea.
Seeing Chen Yang refuse, the old man’s expression changed slightly, but he seed not to care too much about whether he could learn dicine or not.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, “Then, is it possible to take on an assistant?
Let Xiao Cui follow you and help out?
How’s that?”
“Huh?
To be my assistant?”
Chen Yang was taken aback.
When the old man suggested Xiao Cui learn dicine from him, Chen Yang thought it was reasonable, since his dical skills were exceptional and it would be normal for soone to want to learn.
But now the old man wanted Xiao Cui to beco his assistant, and Chen Yang found it utterly baffling.
An assistant?
What’s so great about that?
You can’t learn anything significant, just do so odd jobs?
