Chapter 167 Sending Strawberries

I arrived at the apartment building without any trouble.

Jiang Ye, holding two boxes of strawberries, winked at Jiang Lin: "Together?"

My parents aren't home today.

Jiang Lin blushed slightly: "Let's not, I'm afraid your dad will come back and beat me to death!"

Jiang Ye laughed: "Even President Jiang has people he's afraid of."

Jiang Lin nodded: "That's right."

Jiang Lin got out of the car and stood beside it, watching Jiang Ye carry two boxes of strawberries upstairs.

He knew where the house was, but—

He leaned against the car door, his thoughts drifting off somewhere.

Jiang Ye unlocked the door with his key. It was empty. Sister Xu had finished her old book and had dragged him to work two extra days. Now she spent her days playing mahjong with her friends, trying to shake off the work atmosphere, ostensibly to find inspiration. As for Boss Jiang's business, Jiang Ye wasn't too sure; he figured he was probably out having dinner with some classmate again—he had a lot of social engagements.

But both of them have to come back at night.

Jiang Ye placed two boxes of strawberries on the coffee table, so that the couple would see them whenever they returned.

She rummaged around the house again, rummaged through the refrigerator, and looked at Sister Xu's snack basket, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could take.

Going downstairs, she saw Jiang Lin standing there in a daze. She tiptoed over and startled him: "Hey!"

Jiang Lin looked at her helplessly, yet with a hint of indulgence: "Childish."

Jiang Ye stuck her tongue out at him: "What are you thinking about? I didn't even notice you came over."

Jiang Lin replied, "I'm thinking about how to get past my father-in-law!"

"Don't worry, Comrade Jiang Jianguo has a pretty good impression of you so far. Just focus on your own work."

She thought for a moment, then added, "My dad doesn't eat people."

Jiang Lin was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Then I'd better do my job well."

Jiang Ye gave him a strange look: "Are you really that scared?"

Jiang Lin laughed: "What son-in-law isn't afraid of his father-in-law?"

Jiang Ye reached out and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I've been helping you build up your favorability."

Jiang Lin laughed at her, saying, "You're like a drafty little cotton-padded jacket."

Jiang Ye reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist: "I helped you, and you're still criticizing me!"

We got on the bus, had lunch in town, and then returned to the village.

During everyone's break, Jiang Lin wanted to pick some more strawberries.

Jiang Ye followed behind him: "Let me pick these two baskets."

Jiang Lin laughed: "What, are you trying to find a balance?"

Jiang Ye didn't deny it: "Yeah, you've already put on such a show, wouldn't it be impolite of me not to do something in return?"

She reached out and snatched the basket from Jiang Lin's hands: "Give it back!"

She walked to the front, then turned back: "Quick, teach me how to choose."

After picking the strawberries, Jiang Ye carried them away, while Jiang Lin went to the conference room to train everyone on how to pick strawberries. Without him having to explain, the training mainly focused on the strawberry grading rules.

"The process for strawberries and watermelons is different. It's not as simple as just picking them and putting them in a basket. We need to divide the work: picking, weighing, sorting, and packaging. Each person does a different job."

"Note that each person should be responsible for a separate area and not mix them up, because our barcode scanner is set up for different areas. After the boxes are packed, the barcodes are affixed. Once the barcode scanner scans the boxes, the information about the strawberries inside can be matched with the system."

On the other side, Jiang Ye carried two baskets of strawberries back to the office, sealed the baskets with plastic wrap, and placed them on the table.

Zhang Qin was organizing Li Xue's data when she saw Jiang Ye carefully packing the strawberries. She chuckled and asked, "Boss lady, who are these two baskets of strawberries for?"

Jiang Ye smiled, "Take it back to Grandpa."

"You two really do try to treat each other equally."

"Of course, we can't favor one over the other."

To be honest, Zhang Qin really liked the landlady and was quite envious of the relationship between Jiang Lin and Jiang Ye.

It looks just like an idol drama.

Of course, this envy is a natural feeling when you see something beautiful.

Although her husband is a bit dense, he cares about her.

By the time Jiang Lin finished training everyone, it was almost dark.

When everyone came out, they saw Jiang Ye sitting on an electric scooter with two baskets of strawberries on his footrests, and they all smiled.

"Oh dear, it's a pity that the second son didn't come to training this afternoon." Third Aunt chuckled, noting that two baskets were still tied to the top.

The ribbon tells you exactly what's going on.

These two little kids, one picking in the morning and the other in the afternoon, are quite enviable.

Unfortunately, my child is still working away from home.

That brat doesn't understand any of this!

snort!

Zi should be able to come back next year, since the family can earn money now.

Jiang Ye called out, "Third Aunt."

"Okay!" Third Aunt replied with a smile, "I won't call you for dinner today."

Jiang Ye made way for Jiang Lin, saying, "Then we'll head back first."

Jiang Lin waved to everyone, then got on his electric scooter and headed home.

"I didn't put it in a box, so you can't blame me, can you?"

Jiang Lin chuckled. Jiang Ye didn't put it in a box on purpose.

Because it's boxed up, I imagine my parents and grandparents would feel bad eating it.

But you can't refuse a gift from a younger person.

The two arrived home quickly. Now that the weather was cold, Grandpa wasn't weaving his basket; he sat quietly under the eaves smoking.

After returning from the capital, he shaved a new pipe for himself, and the pipe is still a yellowish-green color.

Seeing the two return, he got up and brought the food from the pot to the table.

Jiang Ye got out of the car, took the strawberries to the kitchen, washed them, and put them on the table.

"Uncle, Auntie, Grandpa, these are the first strawberries from Qingshan! Have a taste!"

When Xu Ke arrived home, he found the box on the table.

She was very familiar with this box; it was the one she had designed while working late into the night.

"Clang, clang, hey, these two little guys!"

She didn't care about anything else and directly opened Qiangqiang's box of strawberries, and then Jiang Lin's handwritten card fell out.

Looking at the neat handwriting, Xu Ke couldn't help but nod, a smile he couldn't suppress on his face.

"It wasn't for nothing that I worked so many extra days."

"Wow, such high-end items, each one is even wrapped in foam netting."

"This cost isn't low!"

However, looking at the strawberries inside, some almost the size of eggs, she could understand.

This is a masterpiece.

Xu Ke washed the strawberries, arranged them on a plate, took one for herself, and took a bite.

sweet!

"She's got some skills; it's no wonder my daughter keeps an eye on her every day."

She took a picture of the strawberries and posted it in the reader group, "Hehehe, my mother-in-law can eat them first!"

Then, with a smug expression, she leaned back on the sofa, scrolling through her phone, showing off in the group chat, waiting for Jiang Jianguo to come back.

A short while later, there was a knock at the door. Jiang Jianguo changed his shoes, saw the empty box on the coffee table, and then saw the strawberries in Xu Ke's hand. He paused for a moment.

"Where did these strawberries come from?"

Xu Ke took a bite: "Guess."

Jiang Jianguo glanced at the box on the table: "Your daughter's back?"

Xu Ke nodded: "Yeah, I'm back. I left the strawberries and then left."

Jiang Jianguo sighed, "They're not even studying properly anymore."

Xu Ke glanced at him: "They're having a legitimate startup internship, and you're out of things to say, aren't you?"

Jiang Jianguo didn't reply. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He glanced at the strawberries on the plate and reached out to take them.

Xu Ke slapped his hand.

"You were just criticizing others, how dare you eat it?"

Jiang Jianguo withdrew his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, Xu Ke couldn't help but laugh, took one and handed it to him: "Eat it, it was specially brought back."

"It's so sweet!"
