80: Chapter 80 Standing Sobody Up 80: Chapter 80 Standing Sobody Up After the girl left, Chen Yang went to the backyard to check things out.
He hadn’t seen Sculpture Brother all day, and Chen Yang was curious about where he had gone.
Once he reached the backyard, lo and behold, there he was, gorging on a al on the ground!
Chen Yang leaned in for a better look and saw that Sculpture Brother was feasting on a rabbit that had been pecked beyond recognition.
“All day long, you’re always eating!” Chen Yang couldn’t help but shake his head and jest, “With all this energy, you should spend so ti at Weed Slope taking care of my wild chicken flock, so no baddies like Heipi get any funny ideas about my farm.”
Chirp.
In response to Chen Yang’s teasing, Sculpture Brother chirped and then continued to lower its head and eat.
Chen Yang shook his head with a chuckle, then after scattering a handful of corn kernels in the backyard, he left.
After cooking and having so of the leftovers from lunch, Chen Yang took a shower and prepared to go to bed.
But just as he was about to enter the bathhouse, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out to see that it was Li Han calling…
Chen Yang wanted to complain, but then, slapping his forehead, he suddenly rembered that yesterday he seed to have promised Li Han to bring her so wild mushrooms today.
However, the girl’s arrival had made him forget about this…
Realizing this, Chen Yang imdiately answered the phone and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Li Han, sothing suddenly ca up at the farm today, and I was too busy and forgot about bringing you the wild mushrooms.”
“Phew.” Over the phone, Li Han heaved a sigh of relief and then said, “It’s okay, as long as you’re alright.
I’ve been calling you all day and you didn’t answer, I thought sothing happened to you.”
From her tone, it was apparent that Li Han was quite worried.
Chen Yang paused for a mont when he heard this, then exited the call screen and checked his call log.
Good lord, dozens of missed calls!
An average of over ten per hour!
She had been calling from noon until now.
“I’m really sorry, I had a sudden situation today and didn’t have my phone on , so I didn’t get your calls,” Chen Yang sincerely apologized.
“Forget it, it’s fine as long as you’re okay,” Li Han said, her tone quite normal.
From her voice, Chen Yang could tell that Li Han wasn’t mad at him.
“I’m really sorry, Li Han.
Do you still need the wild mushrooms?
If you do, I can bring them over first thing tomorrow morning, and then I can also check on the old man’s illness, okay?” Chen Yang continued.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the hotel tomorrow, and don’t forget this ti.”
“Mhm mhm, I definitely won’t forget.”
After that, Chen Yang sincerely apologized again.
He felt very guilty about standing Li Han up and making her worry all afternoon.
Fortunately, though, Li Han hadn’t blad him for it, which made Chen Yang feel a little better.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang took a comfortable bath and then prepared to sleep.
Before going to bed, he checked his phone and then opened up the ssaging app to actively send a text to Xiaoxiao.
“Xiaoxiao, are you asleep yet?”
“No, I’m not, Brother Chen Yang!” Xiaoxiao instantly replied to the ssage.
“Good, you’re not asleep.
Can you co over early tomorrow?
I have to go to the city for so errands, and I need to ask you to look after the clinic for .”
“Of course I can, Brother Chen Yang!
(Cute)”
“Mhm!
Thank you, you must be tired from following around all day, get so sleep early.”
“Mhm mhm, good night, Brother Chen Yang!
(Sound asleep)”
Seeing the cute expressions sent by Xiaoxiao, Chen Yang smiled slightly and then switched the conversation to Wu Kexin’s chat.
He also composed a ssage and sent it.
“Kexin, I have to make a trip to the county tomorrow, and the construction team at ho should have finished their part.
Could you please help asure the constructed area?”
Chen Yang expected busy Wu Kexin to reply a little later.
But to his surprise, Wu Kexin almost instantly replied too.
However, her response was much simpler than Xiaoxiao’s.
“Okay.”
Just a single word of affirmation.
Chen Yang couldn’t help but roll his eyes, then he typed another ssage of gratitude, “Then thank you, once you’ve asured the area, I will co back in the afternoon to settle the bill with them.”
“Mm,”
Wu Kexin uttered another word.
Chen Yang: “…”
Seeing just one word, Chen Yang lost any desire to keep replying.
He turned off his phone, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
By the ti he woke up, it was already early the next morning.
No sooner had Chen Yang brushed his teeth and washed his face than Nizi showed up at the door.
“Brother Chen Yang!
Are you up?” Nizi called out as she entered the clinic.
Hearing this, Chen Yang was sowhat surprised.
He hadn’t expected Nizi to be up this early; at this ti of day, over ninety percent of the villagers were still asleep.
“Nizi, aren’t you a bit too early?
Have you had breakfast?” Chen Yang walked to the clinic and asked with a smile.
Nizi also smiled, “Didn’t you ask to co early!
I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Alright then, just wait a mont, I’ll go make breakfast, and I’ll make one for you as well.” Saying this, Chen Yang turned and headed into the kitchen to get busy.
Before long, two steaming bowls of noodles were ready.
“Mmm…
Brother Chen Yang, your cooking is really good, I feel so hungry just from the sll,” Nizi complinted, then imdiately picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Chen Yang chuckled, not saying much.
After breakfast, Chen Yang picked up a bamboo basket and headed out.
Nizi stayed behind in the clinic to help Chen Yang look after it.
Chen Yang hiked up to the locust woods with his basket and spent a little over an hour until the basket was full.
After bringing it back ho, Chen Yang loaded the car and headed toward the county town.
Chen Yang was in high spirits on the clear morning, humming a tune all the way to the county town and pulling into the Lintianxia Hotel.
“Chef Wang, co out, I’ve got wild mushrooms for you,” Chen Yang got out of the car and knocked on the kitchen door.
With a creak, the kitchen door opened.
Wang De, surrounded by a group of apprentices, walked out with a jovial smile.
“Ah, Brother Chen is here!
How many wild mushrooms did you get today?” Wang De asked cheerfully.
“Don’t know, you weigh them!” Chen Yang said nonchalantly.
“Alright, I’ll weigh them.” Wang De nodded with a smile and gestured for his apprentices to offload the wild mushrooms.
They were weighed one by one.
“Hmm…
Brother Chen, that’s twenty-eight pounds and six ounces in total!
Let’s round it up to twenty-nine,” Wang De did the math and said.
“Deal!” Chen Yang nodded, then asked, “Has your boss, Li Han, arrived?”
“Mm…
yes, she’s in her office waiting for you,” Wang De replied.
“Okay!
I’ll head there now.”
With that, Chen Yang strode through the back entrance of Lintianxia and took the elevator to Li Han’s office.
Upon entering the office, Chen Yang saw that Li Han was seriously perusing so docunts.
Not far from her, on the sofa, another person was lying down, engrossed in a drama.
Chen Yang went over and recognized her.
It was Yang Ruoxi, who had had that awkward encounter with him last ti.
“Chen Yang, you’re here.” At that mont, Li Han noticed Chen Yang’s arrival and stood up, greeting him with a smile.
“Mm-hmm.” Chen Yang nodded.
“Then take a seat for now.
Let finish reviewing these urgent docunts, and we’ll head out to my place,” Li Han said, inviting Chen Yang to sit with a smile.
“Sure.”
Following Li Han’s direction, Chen Yang found himself sitting on the sofa not far from Yang Ruoxi.
Li Han continued reviewing her docunts, while Yang Ruoxi glanced up at Chen Yang and then went back to happily watching her show.
Both won were busy with sothing, leaving Chen Yang with nothing to do.
He could only sit on the sofa, idly surveying his surroundings, the decor, materials, and such…
