The village was filled with old people and children.
As for young people, he was the only one.
The only car in the village was a minivan at the local shop.
"I'll go borrow the minivan from the shop. Otherwise, riding a bike to the county town is too far and unsafe."
He walked to the shop and called, "Uncle Dalong, are you home?"
"Yanyang, what's up? What do you want to buy?"
Uncle Dalong was a lean man, with dark skin and bright eyes.
"Uncle Dalong, I need to go to the county town. Can I borrow the minivan?"
"You've got a driver's license?"
"I got it a few years ago."
"Alright, you can drive it. The keys are still in it."
"Thanks, Uncle Dalong."
"You're welcome, we're from the same village, no need to thank me."
Chen Yang got in the car and drove straight out of the village.
"People in the village are really simple. One car, and it's just 'borrow it if you need it.'"
"Yeah, although the minivan isn't worth much, it's clearly not about the value."
"Neighbors in the city definitely can't do this."
"I really envy Master Chen, the whole village has such a nice atmosphere."
"I suddenly want to go back to the countryside."
"I want to go back too."
"When I was at my hometown, the vegetables my family grew, we often gave them to the neighbors. Of course, the neighbors also often gave us things."
"As the old saying goes, 'a distant relative is not as good as a nearby neighbor.' This is something you only see in the countryside."
The viewers really felt envious.
The warmth of human relationships can only be felt in the countryside.
Even though there is no blood relation, when you really encounter trouble, people just help without a second thought.
Chen Yang said, "Actually, even though the countryside is poor, the people are really simple and honest."
"In our village, there are only two university graduates—me and another guy who is now working outside."
"The other university graduate came from a very poor family. When he reached high school, his family couldn't afford his tuition. It was the villagers who chipped in, one family at a time, to pay his tuition fees."
"We never expected him to pay the money back, we just thought it would be a shame if he couldn't go to school because of money."
"By the way, that guy is my good brother. He's now working in Beijing, enjoying the 996 work schedule."
Thinking of his brother made Chen Yang feel a bit emotional.
This brother was truly a good person, but his family situation was really tragic.
"Master Chen's story reminded me of someone in our village, who's in a similar situation as your brother."
"We have someone in our village too. His parents passed away in a car accident when he was young, and his grandparents could only farm. They couldn't afford the tuition, so it was also the villagers who chipped in to help."
"This is truly a story of a poor student from a humble background."
Chen Yang's words stirred up many memories.
Though life in the countryside was tough, childhood was filled with joy.
Catching fish, grabbing shrimp, and climbing mountains to catch wild chickens.
These were memories only children from the countryside could have.
...
After driving for more than forty minutes, Chen Yang arrived at the county town.
He entered the Shunfeng Express delivery store and said, "Hello, I'd like to send a package."
"Oh, sure, what are you sending?"
"Wild ginseng."
"Ginseng?" The delivery clerk said, "This needs to be insured."
"Yes, definitely insured."
Chen Yang took out the wild ginseng and He Shou Wu.
The delivery clerk was stunned.
He didn't know how much insurance to put on it.
In the end, it was the store manager who stepped in.
The manager learned that Chen Yang was a live streamer, and his name was fairly well-known.
Most importantly, the wild ginseng was worth 2.5 million yuan!
The He Shou Wu was also worth 100,000 yuan.
He immediately took it seriously.
He quickly called the higher-ups.
Chen Yang had to wait for a while.
"The stuff I'm sending is indeed valuable, and the local couriers wouldn't easily accept it."
"Looks like I'll need to wait for a bit."
Chen Yang said with a bitter smile.
"If it were me, I'd take it and run. That wild ginseng would be mine!"
"250 million, who cares? I'm a man with 10 million Happy Beans!"
Just as Chen Yang was planning to chat with them,
The store manager returned.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, I've checked. It can be sent, but the delivery cost will be a bit higher."
"No problem."
"Because the items are so valuable, we'll use a special vehicle to deliver them, and they'll arrive in Magic City by tomorrow at the latest."
"The cost will be 1,500 yuan."
"Alright."
Next came the packing.
Many couriers gathered around to watch.
After all, it was a century-old wild ginseng, something most people would never see in their lifetime.
After packing it, they loaded it into the vehicle and shipped it.
Chen Yang paid the fee and left.
He went to the supermarket, bought a ton of sausage,
Over 100 jin of pork, and... seeds!
Yes, seeds.
He was busy until around 4:30, during which time he also printed out the contract for the platform and sent it out.
After finishing all that, Chen Yang returned to the village.
On the way back, Chen Yang filled up the gas tank.
This move earned him lots of praise from the viewers.
"I was just about to remind Master Chen to fill up the tank, but I didn't expect he'd already remember."
"I had a colleague who borrowed my car a few times. Every time, I filled up the tank for him. But when he returned it, the gas was so low that I couldn't even get to the gas station. People like that are really something!"
"Don't even mention it, I have colleagues like that all around me."
"Most annoying are those who always want to take advantage."
"Thumbs up for Master Chen."
"That's how you should return the car after borrowing it."
When he got back to the village, Chen Yang brought a large bag of marinated food and over ten jin of meat.
"Uncle Dalong, thanks for the car."
"Hey, kid, what's this? You borrowed the car, no need to buy all this."
"Uncle Dalong, you have to take it. I've already bought it. I can't eat it all by myself. Besides, if you don't accept it, I won't be able to borrow anything from you in the future."
"You kid. Alright, I'll take it this time, but next time if you borrow anything, you can't buy things like this. You're just wasting money. Are you planning on never marrying?"
"Hehe, marriage is still a long way off."
"Alright, Uncle Dalong, I'm heading back."
Chen Yang carried the large bag of stuff and walked back.
On the way back, he dropped off the meat for Old Second and his wife.
"It's getting late, so I'll end today's live stream here."
He turned off the live stream and walked into the yard.
Little White and Big Black immediately came running over.
"Eh~"
Chen Yang made a small sound of surprise, realizing Little White and Big Black looked a little different.
After staring at them for a few seconds, he finally realized what was different.
"They've grown!"
Little White, who used to be about half a meter tall, had now grown at least a full circle, almost 60 cm tall.
And the old Little White used to be quite weak.
Now, it looked strong and sturdy.
It wasn't a pet dog anymore; it was now a true farm dog, used for guarding the house.
No question, this must be the effect of the spiritual water.
