NFBE Chapter 254 Reunion
Chapter 254 Reunion
In the days that followed, everyone was extremely busy, with the primary task being to ensure that the funds arrived smoothly.
After a series of tedious operations and procedures, the payment was finally completed, and all the formalities were properly handled.
After all the procedures related to the land to be auctioned were completed, Zhao Yuan and his partners breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly boarded the car and sped away from the bustling city of Shenzhen, heading towards Guangzhou.
Meanwhile, Mu Bin had already arranged all sorts of affairs in Huacheng in an orderly manner.
After arriving in Huacheng, Zhao Yuan tirelessly and meticulously checked the implementation of all the tasks.
After confirming that everything was correct, he bought a plane ticket to Beijing without hesitation.
As the plane landed smoothly at Beijing Airport, a car that had been waiting for a long time came into view.
The driver stood smartly beside the car. Seeing Zhaoyuan and his daughter emerge from the waiting hall, he quickly went to open the car door. After the father and daughter got in, the car sped off home like lightning.
As soon as I got home, the lively and adorable Zhao Nana and Zhao Yina came running towards me like two cheerful little birds.
With a broad smile, Zhao Yuan opened his arms and hugged the two little ones tightly in his arms, then walked briskly into the house.
At dinner time, the family sat around the table, enjoying a happy time together.
Lin Fangfang smiled and looked at Zhao Zhaodi, asking with concern:
"Zhaodi, have you gained a lot of new knowledge and experience on this trip?"
Zhao Zhaodi nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling, and replied:
"Of course, Mom! This experience taught me a lot of valuable knowledge that I can't learn from books. I want to go back and take another look during winter vacation."
After saying that, she turned to look at Zhaoyuan, her face beaming with a happy smile.
As Zhao Yuan gently fed Zhao Yina, he responded with satisfaction:
"Yes, that's great, Zhao Di. You did a really good job."
The whole house was filled with a warm and harmonious atmosphere, and everyone's heart was warmed by family affection.
"Zhaodi, school is about to start. Several classmates have come to visit you while you were away. Remember to call them back later."
As Lin Fangfang spoke, she handed a piece of paper with several phone numbers written on it to Zhao Zhaodi.
As night fell, the family sat down together to enjoy dinner.
After dinner, Zhao Zhaodi and her younger sister Zhao Laidi quickly cleared the table and washed and neatly arranged the used bowls and chopsticks.
After finishing these chores, Zhao Zhaodi sat down next to the telephone, preparing to call back the numbers on the slip of paper one by one.
She dialed the first number and, after a brief conversation, learned that Chen Runping was about to enlist in the army.
With the new semester just around the corner, several close friends discussed having one last get-together before starting school.
Not long after I hung up the phone, it rang urgently again.
Zhao Zhaodi quickly reached for the microphone and politely said:
"Hello, hello!"
A high-pitched and familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Is that Zhao Di?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhaodi immediately responded:
"Yes, I'm Zhao Di, Shan Shan."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Shanshan said excitedly:
"Oh, you're finally back! If you had come back any later, Chen Runping would have already been at the army base. We've been waiting for you. He probably won't be back for a year or two, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to have a good get-together."
"Okay, have you chosen a location?"
Zhao Zhaodi asked expectantly.
"I'll call again and confirm the location before I let you know!"
Shen Shanshan's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows.
A gentle breeze caressed the weeping willows lining both sides of the street, bringing a touch of coolness.
Chen Runping, Zhu Jing, Yan Meili, and Cheng Hui each rode a bicycle, like four beautiful lines of scenery, slowly heading towards Zhao Zhaodi's house.
They stopped in front of Zhao Zhaodi's house and gently knocked on the door.
The door opened, and Zhao Zhaodi greeted them with a big smile, warmly inviting her friends inside.
Upon entering, everyone greeted the elders in Zhao Zhaodi's family, demonstrating their good manners.
"Zhaodi, are you done with your work? The weather is so nice today, it's the perfect time to go out and have some fun! We've decided to have a picnic on Fragrant Hills today, let's set off now and stop by to buy some food and drinks on the way."
Zhu Jing has a cheerful personality and couldn't wait to say hello after she finished greeting him.
"Okay, I'll be all ready right away!"
Zhao Zhaodi responded, while quickening her pace in packing her schoolbag.
She neatly put the books into her schoolbag and checked again to make sure she had all the necessary items.
Just then, Lin Fangfang, who was busy in the yard, overheard the children's conversation and quickly chimed in:
"Zhaodi, we also have some instant noodles and sausages, as well as some sunflower seeds and candy. Feel free to take them if you like!"
"I love it! Of course I love it! Thank you, Mom!"
Zhao Zhaodi turned her head, her face beaming with a happy smile, and said.
Other friends chimed in, expressing their strong agreement.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhaodi walked quickly towards the room where the food was kept, intending to pick out some of her favorite snacks to take with her.
Zhao Zhaodi frantically rummaged through the house, stuffing all the food she could find into her schoolbag.
First, she stuffed a box of instant noodles into the bag, then squeezed in a few sausages, then grabbed a handful of colorful candies and threw them in, and finally even packed in snacks like sunflower seeds and peanuts.
However, despite all this effort, the schoolbag was still gaping wide like a child who couldn't get enough to eat, clearly unable to hold any more.
"Jingjing, Meili, quickly check if your bags can still hold anything! My backpack can't hold much more!"
Zhao Zhaodi called out anxiously.
Seeing this, Cheng Hui, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but say:
"Zhao Di, it's not good for you to bring so many things at once."
At this moment, Lin Fangfang, who had been standing to the side with a smile, spoke up:
"It's okay, as long as you don't mind, you can bring them all."
Zhu Jing continued:
"Auntie, you're so kind of you to prepare so much food for us. Now we don't have to go shopping anymore. Chen Runping, can you put any more in your bag? Come on, let's all put some more in our bags."
