Chapter 167: One hundred sixty-seven: Taking Tian Laosì to deliver goji berries_1 Chapter 167: One hundred sixty-seven: Taking Tian Laosì to deliver goji berries_1 Tangtang’s soft little body instantly bumped into his embrace.

The unique scent of milk from her body gushed out from her neck and entered Gu Chen’s nostrils.

“Daddy, Tangtang missed you so much.”

Tangtang’s voice was milky and whiny.

Gu Chen’s heart was melting.

“Daddy missed you too!” Gu Chen kissed Tangtang’s little face.

The skin of a child is really soft and glutinous, and both springy and resilient.

This texture was simply unbeatable.

The little one, having received a kiss from Daddy, smiled so brightly her eyes couldn’t be seen.

“Daddy, when will Mommy come back? Tangtang misses Mommy.”

Looking at his well-behaved daughter in his arms, Gu Chen pursed his lips, “Mmm, how about Daddy takes you to see Mommy in a while?”

He still couldn’t bear to see the child upset.

And surely, Ji Pianran must be missing Tangtang as well. It would be good to bring the child over for them to meet.

Upon hearing that Daddy would take her to find Mommy,

the little one was overjoyed.

She grabbed Gu Chen’s sleeve and shook it, “Daddy is the best, Tangtang knew Daddy is the best!”

The father and daughter were still affectionately talking.

Meanwhile, Tian Laosì, who had changed his shoes, had already walked out of his courtyard.

He nodded and smiled at Gu Chen, who was squatting on the ground, smiling happily at his daughter.

“Chenzi, you play with the child first, I’ll load the stuff onto the truck!”

Gu Chen had given him a full hundred yuan!

That was half a month’s living expenses for their family.

It wouldn’t be right to let the man help with moving the goods as well.

After saying this, Tian Laosì rolled up his sleeves, ready to do some heavy lifting, and entered the courtyard.

He bent down to carry a sack of goji berries. Grasping the middle section firmly, he tried to lift with his back, but to his surprise, he couldn’t lift it at all.

Tian Laosì swallowed his saliva, somewhat embarrassed.

“Chenzi, this bag is really heavy.”

Gu Chen smiled and looked back at him, “Four Brother, don’t be fooled by my bag of goji berries—they are fresh!”

With that, Tian Laosì understood.

No wonder, fresh ones would definitely be heavier than the dried ones.

He exerted force through his feet, bent down again, his hands firmly gripping the middle of the nylon bag, using all his strength this time.

With a grunt, Tian Laosì carefully made his way toward the van, carrying the sack of goji berries.

Gu Chen gently patted Tangtang’s head.

And sweetly consoled her.

“Daddy brought in a lot of cherries today, does Tangtang want some?”

Hearing there were cherries, the little one’s eyes lit up with delight.

Immediately, she opened her mouth, showing a row of white milk teeth, and happily said, “Yes, please! Tangtang loves them!”

Those black cherries were so delicious!

No matter how many you eat, it’s never enough!

Gu Chen, smiling, pulled Tangtang’s little hand and headed into the kitchen.

He found a small metal basin, poured in a portion of the fresh cherries he had just picked from the space, and scooped some water from the water jar to wash the cherries clean.

Then he took out another metal basin and poured all the washed cherries into it.

Rural people don’t fuss over fruit plates, this metal basin might not look nice, but it was large and practical. No need to worry about it breaking for a decade or two, economical and efficient.

Seeing the large-sized cherries, Tangtang, squatting on the ground looking into the basin, was somewhat surprised.

“Daddy, such big cherries!”

These are really too big, much larger than the ones Dad bought for himself last time.

Gu Chenzi nodded gravely at the little one, feigning mystery, “Hmm, the bigger they are, the tastier they are, and they can even make you grow taller. Guai Guai, eat more of them.”

What he really meant was that he wanted Guai Guai to eat quietly without causing any trouble, so that he could go help Tian Laosì.

With so many bags, all incredibly heavy, Tian Laosì alone probably had his work cut out for him.

“Guai Guai, you stay here and eat the cherries while Daddy goes to help Uncle Tian.”

Being just a child, hearing that she could grow taller practically got Guai Guai excited enough to question life itself.

She really did want to grow taller quickly!

The little one sucked back saliva that was on the verge of dripping out, “Daddy, go ahead.”

After finishing her plea, she reached out with her small hand and eagerly grabbed a cherry, taking a big bite.

Slurping on the cherry’s juice, she mumbled unclearly, “Guai Guai behaving~”

Gu Chenzi smiled and gently patted her head, then stood up and walked toward the yard.

Tian Laosì had already moved three bags, and man, they were heavy.

He was sweating bullets and even appeared slightly out of breath.

Seeing Gu Chenzi come out, Tian Laosì wiped the sweat from his head and gave an embarrassed smile.

“I’m getting old, some physical labor really takes it out of me.”

Gu Chenzi patted Tian Laosì on the shoulder, his face full of teasing, “It’s not that you’re old; it’s just that these things are really heavy. A bag weighs over a hundred pounds, heavier than your wife.”

Hearing this, Tian Laosì burst out laughing, “That’s your wife, my wife weighs this much.”

He then extended two fingers towards Gu Chenzi and even wiggled them.

Shen Cuilan was at least one hundred eighty pounds; when he said two bags, it wasn’t even slightly unfair to her.

Gu Chenzi hadn’t expected the typically slow-to-quip Tian Laosì to make a joke, and found it especially amusing, so he couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

“My wife is light, less than one bag.”

Ji Pianran was one meter sixty-five, not short among women, and when he first came back to life, she seemed skin and bones, frail and skinny.

Others were like daffodils swaying in the wind, while his Ji Pianran was like a bean sprout swaying in the wind.

No exaggeration, he really felt like she could be blown away by the wind.

However, after these past days, with Gu Chenzi’s meticulous care, both mother and daughter had gained some weight.

Their complexions had improved greatly, and they finally didn’t resemble bean sprouts anymore.

There was flesh where there should be flesh, slimness where there should be slimness, a slender waist one could encircle with a hand, plus round and full buttocks, and lengthy, straight legs—she was naturally a clothes rack, with a figure that couldn’t get any better.

But Gu Chenzi wasn’t preoccupied with thoughts; his only thought was to ensure his wife ate well!

A little fatter would look even better.

To him, no matter what, Ji Pianran was always the most beautiful in his eyes.

The two chatted idly while moving the goods, and before long they had managed to load all the goji berries into the van. Thankfully, the van itself was originally used by Old Hu for transporting goods, and had been modified with only one seat in the back; the rest was flat space.

It spared quite a bit of room, or else all these goods genuinely wouldn’t have fit.

The three of them chatted and laughed on their way towards the city.

Upon reaching the city around two o’clock, Gu Chenzi parked the car at the entrance of the Auspicious Dried Goods Company, and the three got out.

At the company’s entrance, those same few young men in blue workwear were busy at work.

Seeing Gu Chenzi, one of them eagerly approached.

He recognized the man—wasn’t this the one who signed the equity contract with the boss last time?

With equity in hand, didn’t that make him one of the bosses too?

“Yo, big brother, you’re here,” he greeted Gu Chenzi warmly.

Gu Chenzi smiled, “Where’s your boss?”

Hearing that the boss was being sought, the young man quickly responded, “He’s upstairs drinking tea. Maybe you’d want to sit for a bit too?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Chenzi shook his head, “No need for that, let’s unload the goods.”
