When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1288 Farm Owner 41
Chen Xiaojun had just returned from a five-kilometer run when he saw Li Yong hurrying out of the dormitory building. Chen Xiaojun grabbed Li Yong and asked, "Brother Yong, where are you going?"

Li Yong's brow relaxed when he saw Chen Xiaojun: "I was just looking for you. Call Zhang Xiang and two more brothers. The forestry boss has prepared some holiday gifts for us. We'll take Hu Feng back in a bit."

Chen Xiaojun's leg pain immediately subsided, and he felt strong again. He followed Li Yong outside, making a phone call as they walked: "Zhang Xiang, call Xiao Wu and Shai Zi, let's go to C88."

"Wait here, I'll be right there." Zhang Xiang jumped up, knocked on the door twice, and soon Xiao Wu and Shaizi followed Zhang Xiang down.

The five men went to Minister Huang's office to pick up their car keys. Minister Huang was drinking barley tea when he saw them. He raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Going out?"

Li Yong explained succinctly: "The farm is on holiday, and the forestry owner gave Hu Feng and the others New Year's gifts. Since they couldn't take them back, we're sending them home."

"There's no need for so many people." Minister Huang subconsciously asked, "Do you also have holiday gifts?"

Li Yong remained silent, but Minister Huang already understood. He rummaged through the drawer and finally pulled out a truck key: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."

Although he usually manages to get all sorts of nice things from Tan You, he decided not to approach her for New Year's gifts. It's a token of her goodwill, and it would be beneath him to ask for them.

Minister Huang still has a sense of shame.

Li Yong took the car keys, and the group disappeared from the logistics department office like the wind. Minister Huang took a deep breath and sipped his hot tea.

It was already night when Li Yong and his group arrived; it was completely dark. This time, Li Yong drove the large truck directly into the farm. The entire farm was now planted with wild grass, so he didn't care if it got damaged.

As soon as the truck came to a stop, the workers, who had already packed up all the New Year's gifts and wages, began loading the goods onto it. The bags of flour, the piping hot fried meatballs, and the slabs of tofu were such a generous spread.

Tan You led Li Yong toward the storage room: "These are holiday gifts prepared for you, all of them are high-level mutated ingredients."

"This is for you: a calming apple, a bunch of grapes, ten orange cherries, half a pound of lychees, a box of chestnut shortbread, and a box of peanut brittle, all for good luck."

"Xiaojun's gift box is similar to yours, except it has a few more persimmons."

"Your team members are like orange cherries, lychees, chestnut crisps, and peanut brittle."

Li Yong hadn't expected Tan You's New Year's gifts to be so generous. He wanted them, but they were too precious: "Too valuable."

Tan You smiled and said, "I'm only generous this once a year. I wouldn't be so generous on other holidays."

"Oh, right, this is a New Year's gift for Minister Huang, as well as Jin Xi, Yan Liang, and Mu Nan. You can take it back with you. I know they all want apples, so they'll each have one more than you and Xiao Jun."

Li Yong carefully put away each of the gift boxes, each labeled with a corresponding name, so he wasn't worried about making a mistake at all.

Seeing Li Yong's deeply moved expression, Tan You couldn't help but smile. She would rather give him mutated food than the grain stored in the warehouse. Firstly, mutated ingredients were rare, making the food even more precious.

Another advantage is her superpower. As long as her power is available, these mutated ingredients are virtually inexhaustible. Unlike the farm's output, which is limited each season, giving out only what is available is a waste.

The reason for preparing two different New Year's gifts is naturally due to the different levels of friendship. One is for a worker, and the other is for a friend, so the treatment is naturally different.

Chen Xiaojun, clutching his gift, was so moved he wanted to give Tan You a big bear hug. Tan You pushed him away: "Aren't you moved by your fruit basket? I steamed some buns for dinner, do you want some?"

"Eat!" Chen Xiaojun immediately shouted, "Is it still pumpkin steamed buns? Sister Wei, how many pumpkins do you have left?" Tan You raised her head slightly and said, "Congratulations, I forced another batch of pumpkins to grow a week ago. I have workers to feed."

She was tired of eating pumpkin, but the workers weren't. Besides, pumpkin is high-yielding and can be used as both a vegetable and a staple food, so the workers liked it very much.

Chen Xiaojun is not picky; he is extremely satisfied as long as there is food: "Okay, the dried pumpkin you dried last time, Sister Wei, was especially delicious."

Tan You: "It needs good weather to dry them. Let me check first. If the weather is fine, the farm will dry another batch and then dry some sweet potato chips."

Chen Xiaojun nodded happily: "I'll help you when the time comes. I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Zhang Xiang and the others carefully put away their holiday gifts, then had dinner at the farm before sending Hu Feng and the others home. It was a dark and windy night, and no one knew what gifts Tan You had prepared for the workers.

Hu Feng and his associates were even less likely to make a scene; keeping a low profile was the most important thing at this time.

After dropping off Hu Feng and the others, Li Yong and Chen Xiaojun couldn't wait to return to the legion. As soon as the car pulled into the parking lot, several more people got out.

The members of the third team quickly found their own New Year's gift boxes, and when they opened them, they couldn't stop smiling.

"Mutant ingredients? Lychees too? And chestnut pastries?"

"You also have peanut brittle?"

"How much would this fetch if sold?"

"Are you willing to sell it?"

"I can't bear to part with it!"

Chen Xiaojun glanced at everyone's gift boxes, focusing on Li Yong's, and then furtively looked at his own. Suddenly, he slammed the lid shut, his mouth practically agape in a grin. He knew Sister Wei took the best care of him.

They even put four extra persimmons in his gift box. Persimmons are good; may everything go smoothly for you.

No one else has it, only he does.

Seeing Chen Xiaojun's silly grin, Li Yong couldn't help but smile. He knew Tan You favored Chen Xiaojun, and it was only four level-three mutated persimmons; he wasn't jealous at all, really!

Seeing everyone laughing, Chen Xiaojun looked around and quickly stuffed two persimmons into Li Yong's hand: "Brother, let's each have half."

Li Yong raised his hand and ruffled Chen Xiaojun's buzz cut. All his envy vanished. Sure enough, Chen Xiaojun was the closest to him!

"It's lively here!" Minister Huang's voice came, and the people who were playing around quieted down, each of them clutching their gift box tightly.

Chen Xiaojun quickly stuffed his gift box into Li Yong's arms, then picked up the other four stacked gift boxes, handed one to Minister Huang: "Minister Huang, this is a New Year's gift that Sister Wei prepared for you, Jin Ying, Captain Yan, and Captain Mu."

"It's perfect that you're here, it saves us the trouble of making a trip."

Minister Huang accepted it with a smile: "Okay, thank you then. I'll send Jin Ying and the others over as well?"
