Chapter 492: The Outrageous Free Meal Mission
"Ah? Lianshan Village?"
Lin Shihua didn't react at once and reflexively repeated the words "Lianshan Village" that Jiang Duoduo said.
He remembered that Lianshan Village seemed to be a poor village.
It was really surprising that Mr. Jiang brought his family to Anshi during the holidays but instead of going to see the famous Guoshu Waterfall, they went to a poor little village.
"Yes, Lianshan Village. Has Mr. Lin heard of this village?"
Jiang Duoduo asked again.
Sisters Chen Shuyue and Chen Shufang looked at Lin Shihua expectantly, waiting for his reply.
Only Xu Susu was still eating the pasta on the plate, as if her aunt's situation had nothing to do with her.
She was even a little reluctant to find her aunt's house so quickly. After all, she could eat and live for free in such a nice hotel, and she could also go to the gym, sing karaoke and play bowling. Such a life would be so comfortable.
I heard that my aunt's home is a small mountain village, even more backward than our Niujia Village. What fun is there in that remote corner?
"I've heard of it. It seems to be in a small mountain village below Huayang Town."
When Jiang Duoduo heard about Huayang Town, she quickly took out her mobile phone and searched for the specific route to Lianshan Village in Huayang Town on the mobile navigation.
It took more than four hours to drive from the Huxinju Hotel where they stayed to Lianshan Village in Huayang Town. It seemed quite far away.
But it's easy now that they know the detailed address. They can pack up and set off now. It will only be a little after 1:00 p.m. when they arrive at the village where my aunt lives. This is just the right time to visit relatives, neither too early nor too late.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. You really helped us a lot."
"Oh, by the way, let's check out now. I'll treat Mr. Lin to a simple meal when I get back from Lianshan Village."
When Lin Shihua heard that his young and beautiful new boss was leaving after less than a day, he was so excited!
For a general manager like him, who would have nothing better to do than come to the hotel to work overtime during the New Year to show off his presence?
But despite being excited, Lin Shihua's face showed an expression that he wanted to keep the guest.
"Director Jiang, why don't you stay a few more days, or leave tomorrow so I can treat you to a meal!"
"Don't be so polite, Mr. Lin. I really have something to do. But don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
Hearing Jiang Duoduo say that she would be back in a few days, Lin Shihua's enthusiasm immediately faded. He thought Jiang Duoduo would be back for at least ten days or half a month, so how could she be back in just a few days?
Lin Shihua's mood at this moment was like a roller coaster, up and down.
But the Spring Festival holiday will be over in a few days, so it’s better than making yourself work overtime these two days.
So, Lin Shihua forced a smile again and took Jiang Duoduo and others to the front desk to check out.
Xu Susu sighed as she packed her luggage in the room.
Such a nice hotel, but I have to go to the mountains before I can enjoy it.
"Susu, hurry up, you're the only one missing! Your second aunt and sister Duoduo are already waiting in the car."
While calling her daughter, Chen Shufang took out a plastic bag from her coat and put away the half-dried socks that she had washed yesterday.
"I know, Mom. It's still early. Why are you so anxious?"
Xu Susu muttered and walked out of the room dragging her suitcase.
"Of course! That's my little sister I haven't seen for over 20 years! Anyway, you young people nowadays don't understand. Come on, let's go out and take the elevator!"
Chen Shufang had taken her suitcase away a long time ago. This time she came up to get the socks she had forgotten to put away and to urge her daughter.
"Duoduo, why don't you lean back on the chair and close your eyes for a while. Your cousin will probably be here for a while, and she's slow to pack because she has so much stuff."
"You're going to be driving for four hours straight, so take some time to rest."
Seeing that her elder sister and Susu had not come down yet, Chen Shuyue asked Jiang Duoduo to rest first. She heard that driving is very tiring, especially long-distance driving.
"It's okay, Mom. I'll be able to see my aunt soon. I'm in high spirits!"
Although Jiang Duoduo had never met her aunt Chen Shumin, she often heard her mother and aunt mention her.
And she also talked to her aunt on WeChat.
She could tell from her voice that her aunt was a kind but rather taciturn person.
This is a very different personality from the aunt described by my mother and aunt.
Jiang Duoduo was quite curious about her aunt whom she had never met before.
……
They set off from Huxinju Hotel at 8:30 in the morning and arrived in Huayang Town at exactly noon.
Jiang Duoduo found a hotel in the town that looked pretty good. They moved four pieces of luggage filled with clothes from the car to their respective hotel rooms.
On the recommendation of the hotel owner, we had a simple lunch at a farm restaurant next door.
Jiang Duoduo used the navigation to re-plan the route to Lianshan Village, and estimated that it would take about another hour.
However, the hotel owner just said that the road to Lianshan Village is not very good, and the mountain road is winding. She reminded Jiang Duoduo and others to go early and return early, otherwise there will not even be a street light there when it gets dark.
"Ah? Is my aunt's village so backward? No wonder when I asked her to take some pictures of the village and post them in the group, she said she would do it next time!"
Xu Susu picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth while complaining.
"Kid, don't be so outspoken when you get to your aunt's house. You were born in a good era, otherwise you think everyone else has such a good life!"
After Chen Shufang said a few words, Xu Susu quickly stood up and went to pay the bill.
Shuyue and Duoduo paid for food and accommodation along the way. This time, she insisted on settling the bill first.
"Big sister, slow down. I won't snatch it from you, and neither will Duoduo, okay?"
Chen Shuyue was just about to pay the bill, but unexpectedly, her elder sister got there first.
"Mom, you guys sit here and wait for a while, I'll drive the car over."
Jiang Duoduo picked up the phone on the table and walked out of the farm restaurant. Her business car was parked in the alley behind the hotel.
There were not many parking lots near the town. Jiang Duoduo drove around and found that there were not many people in the alley behind the hotel, so she pulled over and parked there.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you've received a new mission for the New Year!]
Location: Handmade Sachet Stall at the Spring Festival Market on Yongfu Street, Huayang Town, Anshi City. Freeloader: Wu Xiaozhu. Time: 30 minutes. Successful freeloaders receive a cash reward of 50 yuan and 2000 points.
Jiang Duoduo had just sat down in the driver's seat when the long-lost system notification sound of releasing a task appeared in her mind.
"Good-for-nothing, why do I feel like you're getting worse and worse the more you do your freeloading mission?"
"You said before that the more difficult the mission, the more bonuses and points you'd get. Look at you, you came all this way to give me this entire mission, and the bonuses and points are just a handful. It's not appealing at all."
"Last time, Zhu Xiaoxiao, you gave me a 100 million yuan reward! This time, I don't even know where my freeloader is, and you have the nerve to only give me 50 yuan?"
"The most outrageous thing is the free time for the meal. What can I do in 30 minutes? I can't even find anyone in 30 minutes!"
