Chapter 60
Teamwork Makes the Difference
Chen Huan returned home with mixed feelings.
Having settled things with Sun Bailu, he felt he should be able to relax.
But now he realizes he was wrong.
"Chen Huan, you're back?" Li Chunlan came out of the house to greet him, her expression somewhat unnatural.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with spring water as she stared intently at Chen Huan.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Huan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
"What's wrong with you, you naughty boy?" Li Chunlan reached out and gently tapped Chen Huan's forehead.
She leaned closer to him and whispered, "You've done this yourself, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"
Chen Huan immediately felt a little guilty.
He wondered if his affair with Zhao Liping had been exposed.
Or perhaps Li Chunlan knew about Sun Bailu's affair?
Just as she was panicking, Li Chunlan said shyly and coquettishly, "The underwear you bought is too revealing, it's so embarrassing."
"Why does it have a crotch opening in the middle...?"
At this point, Li Chunlan became extremely shy and kept gently patting Chen Huan's chest.
Chen Huan breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, so that's what you meant."
Li Chunlan looked up at him, puzzled. "What do you mean? Do you have some other wrongdoing on your part?"
"No, absolutely not." Chen Huan said seriously.
Then they quickly changed the subject, "And who is that? Zhao Liping?"
Li Chunlan covered her mouth and laughed, "She's trying on the underwear you bought her inside. I'm so envious of her figure."
Chen Huan nodded, "That's true."
Li Chunlan pinched his arm. "What's wrong?"
"You wouldn't actually have feelings for Zhao Liping, would you? She's younger, more radiant, and fresher than me."
"Wearing that sexy outfit of yours, you look incredibly alluring. I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself when you see it..."
Chen Huan quickly replied, "I don't look at anyone but you."
Li Chunlan then revealed a satisfied smile, "You just wait for me a few more days, and I'll definitely wear it for you then."
"It seems like that set isn't meant to be looked at, but rather used, right?"
Chen Huan was really starting to lose control; there were some scenes he didn't dare to think about any further.
Zhao Liping, who had just tried on clothes, came out of the room with a flushed face and looked at Chen Huan with a charming gaze.
Li Chunlan was there, and the two of them didn't dare to talk too much. One went to the kitchen to cook, and the other went to handle the medicinal herbs.
Taking advantage of the time before dinner, Chen Huan took out his medicine furnace and refined another batch of golden pills.
For the past two days, I've been catching fish every afternoon and selling them the next day.
The constant back-and-forth dealings were getting a bit annoying for Chen Huan.
So now he plans to cut out some unnecessary steps and make the process as simple and efficient as possible.
After finishing his meal, Chen Huan drove his tricycle towards the village entrance.
A figure emerged from the shade nearby.
It was Zhao Jingjing, wearing denim shorts, a white tank top, and a large straw hat.
This girl is really fair-skinned, especially her legs; Chen Huan couldn't take his eyes off her.
"Why are you so late? I've been waiting for quite a while," Zhao Jingjing complained as she leaned closer.
"You're the boss, I'm the boss, and you're just an employee. What's wrong with waiting a little while?" Chen Huan replied nonchalantly.
Zhao Jingjing rolled her eyes at him, "Fine, fine, you pay me my salary, you're the best, okay?"
"What do we do next?"
"Get in the car first." Chen Huan patted the truck bed.
Zhao Jingjing lifted her long legs, stuck out her butt, and climbed into the car, pouting and complaining, "Other bosses drive four-wheeled vehicles when they go out, but you're worse off, you're missing a wheel, it's really degrading."
Without turning his head, Chen Huan replied loudly, "Don't worry, I promise you'll be able to ride in the boss's luxury car before school starts."
Zhao Jingjing expressed deep skepticism, "You could barely afford a small car, do you even know what a luxury car is?"
Chen Huan thought for a moment, "A few hundred thousand should be considered the entry level, right?"
Zhao Jingjing snorted coldly, "You're really good at bragging. You talk about a million or two as if it were nothing."
"If you can buy a car worth over 500,000 yuan in cash before I start school, I'll do whatever you say, I'll do anything you ask."
Chen Huan turned her head and stared at Zhao Jingjing's long, slender, and straight legs. "Are you sure? You might regret it."
Zhao Jingjing also came up, stubborn as ever, and said with her head held high, "Whoever regrets it is a little dog. I know what you're thinking, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability."
Chen Huan, whose thoughts had been exposed, chuckled and rubbed his nose. "To make sure you get the luxury car you want, your boss will definitely do his best."
"Hold on tight, we're about to take off."
Zhao Jingjing, sitting on the back of the truck, couldn't help but laugh. "You're really showing off. You're driving this beat-up tricycle like it's a fighter jet."
Upon reaching the riverbank, Zhao Jingjing immediately took off her shoes, waving her long, white legs in the water that was less than knee-deep, looking very relaxed.
"Hey Zhao Jingjing, I didn't hire you to go sightseeing. Can you straighten out your attitude?" Chen Huan took the tools out of the car and kept complaining.
"Then tell me what I need to do."
"Let me tell you in advance, I've never worked in the fields or done farm work before. I can't lift heavy loads or raise my arms. Anything too difficult is beyond my capabilities." Zhao Jingjing kicked the water with her leg, a shrewd smile on her face.
"Actually, you don't need to do any work. Just those legs are enough for me to look at for a while," Chen Huan muttered softly.
Then he pointed to a pool of water not far away and said, "Come with me over there."
Chen Huan had long had his eye on this pool.
Right next to the river, the water surfaces are connected.
The area is roughly the size of a basketball court, and the water is deep enough.
He planned to deepen the ditch where the pool connected to the stream and build a channel.
Then I simply used this place as a small base for artificially cultivating cores.
Simply toss in a golden pill or two, and whether it's fish, shrimp, crab, or any other aquatic product, its quality will naturally improve, and it will grow plumper and more delicious.
This saves you the trouble of bringing the fish home every day, searching for containers, and raising them separately.
One effort, a lifetime of benefits.
After making up his mind, Chen Huan threw off his shirt and took off his pants.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to be a pervert in broad daylight?" Zhao Jingjing, who had just approached, immediately covered her eyes.
"Look at you, so unsophisticated. How am I supposed to get down to work if I don't take off my clothes? Why don't you do it?" Chen Huan picked up the shovel next to him.
While mocking them, they waded into the river.
Next, they began digging the ditch, shovel by shovel.
The mud and sand were loose and easy to work with, and in no time it had already begun to take shape.
Zhao Jingjing sat on a rock nearby, wearing a straw hat, and looked at Chen Huan's slightly thin but well-defined muscles, feeling inexplicably attracted.
"This guy, when did he get such a great body? It's making my heart itch..."
As I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt a chill on my face and body.
It turned out that it was that naughty boy Chen Huan who splashed water on me.
"How annoying!" Zhao Jingjing huffed and puffed, picking up a small pebble from the side, ready to retaliate.
Chen Huan, however, put his hands on his hips, glared at him, and said, "Watch your words and actions, comrade."
"There's a thermos and tea in the plastic bucket in the car, why don't you hurry up and make some tea for Boss Chen?"
"Give me a Thai massage in a bit to help me relax."
Zhao Jingjing gritted her teeth, "You really think of me as your mistress?"
Having settled things with Sun Bailu, he felt he should be able to relax.
But now he realizes he was wrong.
"Chen Huan, you're back?" Li Chunlan came out of the house to greet him, her expression somewhat unnatural.
Her face was flushed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with spring water as she stared intently at Chen Huan.
