Chapter 141 The Little Butterfly Flutters Its Wings
Hearing their conversation, Yu Huan shook her head, both amused and exasperated, and buried herself in washing the dishes, her feelings indescribable.
His thoughts drifted far away.
If Lin Yourong, the "money-giving girl," doesn't count as giving away a million for free, then the two hundred thousand he received as a reward for reporting a wanted criminal can be considered his first pot of gold.
At this moment, however, I feel that the 200,000 is not the biggest gain.
If the wanted criminal Wu Feixiang had not been brought to justice early because of his report, he would have committed another crime after the New Year, murdering a newlywed couple before being exposed and fleeing.
Furthermore, Grandma Hu, who protected her nephew, would feel guilty and ultimately choose to kill herself by hitting her head against a wall.
Last life.
The news report referred to the male victim as Tan Moumou, but he was clearly named Tan Zhiyuan, even though he was from the same town and the case occurred in the neighboring village.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
His original intention was simply to make money and leave without a trace, but the butterfly effect of his actions truly prevented a tragedy from happening.
Therefore, even if Lao Tan didn't bring two packets of "harmony brings wealth" when he visited, and even if there were no red envelopes as payment, given this intricate connection, he would certainly be happy to help write the gift register.
In the countryside, life unfolds at a leisurely pace, and even though it is adjacent to a bustling city, it still maintains its tranquility.
As night fell and all was quiet, only the occasional, extremely piercing bark of a dog could be heard from afar.
After meal.
Yu Huan rested for a while. He wasn't very interested in TV programs, and his computer was malfunctioning, so he could only wash up early and then crawl into bed.
It was just past 8:40 p.m., and Yu Huan was already lying in her comfortable, warm bed.
His cell phone became his only form of entertainment.
He scrolled through his phone screen, casually browsing posts on Tianya Forum. Meanwhile, he occasionally chatted with Lin Yourong, who was busy with her work, their conversations simple and mundane, mainly about what they had for dinner.
Lin Yourong's dinner consisted of mung bean sprouts, ribeye steak, five strawberries, and a kiwi.
After a fulfilling day, a sense of fatigue crept in, his eyelids began to droop heavily, and his head started to sway involuntarily.
'So sleepy, Rongrong, I'm going to bed now~'
Finally, a message was sent to end the intermittent conversation.
Yu Huan put down her phone, took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep shortly afterward.
Yu Huan slept soundly and deeply until the sun was high in the sky and the bright sunlight shone through the window onto his face, at which point he finally woke up.
After waking up, feeling a bit languid, I reached for my phone from beside my pillow.
Upon unlocking the screen, the chat interface with Lin Yourong was still displayed.
Lin Yourong replied with two messages at 10:23 PM last night to the message he posted:
"Oh? I'd like to video chat with you later!"
'Are you really asleep?'
Looking at these words, Yu Huan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Thousands of miles away in Shanghai, this girl still cared about him.
Yu Huan smiled, lightly tapping the keypad on the keyboard, and replied to Lin Yourong with a message:
The first thing I do when I open my eyes is say good morning to you, muah~
After sending the message, he got out of bed with renewed energy, grabbed some clothes from the bedside table, and quickly put them on.
He walked down the stairs while adjusting the buttons on his coat and jacket.
The main room was empty. When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Teacher Wu hanging clothes out to dry. The sunlight shone on her, casting a long shadow.
Hearing the sparse footsteps, Teacher Wu's gaze shifted from his messy, disheveled hair to his mud-stained sneakers.
"Look at you, you're such a grown woman, and you still don't know how to take care of yourself." Teacher Wu frowned slightly, looking at Yu Huan with displeasure. "You have to write in the guestbook at noon, how are you going to face anyone looking like this?"
Yu Huan laughed awkwardly, reaching back to smooth her messy bangs: "Mom, my old clothes were all too childish, I don't like wearing them. We only have one pair of basketball shoes at home, and I don't like wearing those anymore."
Ms. Wu sighed and continued hanging clothes on the clothes rack: "Then take off your shoes, and I'll clean them for you."
Upon hearing this, he changed into Lao Yu's slippers, and when he returned, he placed the Hongxing Erke black sneakers next to the faucet and immediately began brushing his teeth.
The toothpaste foam, with its refreshing green tea flavor, filled his mouth, giving him a jolt of energy.
Teacher Wu quickly finished hanging the clothes out to dry, then came over with a damp towel and wiped Yu Huan all over, removing the mud and dust from his body.
"You didn't change your clothes while fishing yesterday, and you're still covered in mud. How can you face the world looking so filthy?"
Yu Huan tilted his head back and rinsed his mouth a few times, spitting out the foam. He stood upright like a pine tree, letting Teacher Wu wipe his clothes.
He casually asked, "Where's the old man?"
"How would I know?" Teacher Wu said irritably. "He can't stay still, he's probably out for a stroll again."
Yu Huan smiled slightly and suggested, "Then I'll call him later and we can go to the banquet together."
"You can go and be the representative by yourself." After all, they were just friends, so Teacher Wu waved his hand and said, "Your grandfather and I will just eat at home."
"What kind of representative am I? I'm going to write the guestbook! It'll only take a few minutes by car, you don't have to walk!" Teacher Wu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Hmm, that's fine too."
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Yu Huan was clean and refreshed, and sat on a small stool in the backyard.
The sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was gentle.
After basking in the sun for a while, Lao San called Grandpa Yu and asked him to come back so they could drive to the banquet together.
Since it was already quite late, Teacher Wu only cooked half a bowl of noodles and topped it with a poached egg before serving it to him.
Yu Huan acted like a lord, taking the chopsticks that Teacher Wu served him, saying "Thank you, Mom," and then began to eat heartily.
The noodles were smooth and delicious, and the poached egg was tender and juicy, greatly satisfying the taste buds. However, because the portion was small, it didn't quite satisfy my stomach.
A short while later, the old man returned, and Yu Huan put on the sneakers that Teacher Wu had cleaned. The three of them tidied themselves up and then got into the BMW and set off.
The old man sat in the passenger seat, touching and looking at the car from all angles: "I heard that this car costs more than 500,000 yuan?"
have to.
The news had already spread overnight.
"The cheapest of this model costs over 300,000 yuan. I don't know the exact price of her car's configuration." Yu Huan gripped the steering wheel, driving at 50 km/h, focusing most of her attention on the curb, just in case someone suddenly darts out without looking where they were going.
Sitting in the back row, Teacher Wu interjected, "Yaowen said this car costs more than 500,000 yuan."
Yu Huan nodded: "That should be about right. Yaowen is a professional; he knows cars."
Yu Yaowen works as a car salesman at a Toyota 4S store in Xingcheng County. He is very knowledgeable about car prices and configurations and is quite knowledgeable in the industry.
Sunlight streamed through the car window, warming and comforting me.
With lightning speed, Yu Huan quickly drove to the largest hotel in town.
It was only a little past ten o'clock, and the number of guests had not yet increased significantly, so the parking spaces on both sides of the road were still quite empty.
After randomly parking in front of the hotel, the three of them got out of the car together.
Just as Yu Huan closed the car door, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID—it was a local number without a contact name.
He pressed the answer button and waited three breaths before Old Tan's voice came through the receiver:
"Hey, Xiao Yu, have you arrived at the big hotel in town yet?"
Hear this.
Yu Huan turned her head to look at the red carpet in front of the hotel and the tall inflatable archway with words of congratulations on the wedding.
Such a grand affair is uncommon in village weddings; they are usually held at home, with the couple hiring their own car fleet, village banquet chef, and wedding emcee.
“Uncle Tan, we’re already at the door,” Yu Huan said.
"Okay, I'll come out to meet you right away."
No sooner had Lao Tan finished speaking than Yu Huan's phone, which she held to her ear, went dead with a "beep beep beep" signal.
Looking at the joyous scene before him, Grandpa Yu suddenly asked Yu Huan, "When are you and You Rong going to have your wedding and officially marry her into the family?"
“There are no plans in that regard at the moment.” Yu Huan said calmly, “Didn’t I tell you before? The department was just established, and as the deputy director, I’m extremely busy. Well, she’s pretty much the same.”
As the grandfather and grandson chatted casually, Old Tan led a young woman in a fuchsia suit out of the hotel.
When people are happy, they are in high spirits. Old Tan's face was full of smiles, and he looked particularly energetic.
Before they even got close, he had already eagerly pulled out his cigarette case.
As soon as the two groups met, he offered a cigarette to Old Master Yu and greeted them in a loud voice, "Principal Yu—Teacher Wu!" Then he turned to Yu Huan and said with a smile, "Little Yu, you've had a hard day today."
"Uncle Tan, it's just a small favor, like I said before," Yu Huan said with a bright smile.
Old Tan nodded, turned his head to the side, and winked at him secretly. Then he introduced the young woman beside him: "This is my niece, named Tan Xi, she is twenty-four years old this year. Later, one of you will keep the gift book and the other will collect the gifts. Working together as a man and a woman makes the work easier!"
Yu Huan seemed oblivious to Lao Tan's hint and simply greeted Tan Xi with, "Hello."
Tan Xi's gaze fell on Yu Huan's face. She pursed her lips and then extended her hand: "Nice to meet you. Please take care of me."
Perhaps because he was attending a happy occasion, his makeup was very heavy. In his opinion, with Lin Yourong, who was so beautiful, she was just average.
Yu Huan politely shook hands with her, but the handshake was brief.
He then smiled and joked with Old Tan, "Uncle Tan, next time it will be your turn to drink my wedding wine."
Old Tan and Tan Xi were both taken aback. Old Tan hurriedly asked, "Xiao Yu, you're already dating someone?"
"They're already engaged," Old Master Yu interjected, puffing on his cigarette.
After hearing this, Lao Tan raised his arm, smiled, and patted Yu Huan's shoulder: "Great! Little Yu, I'll be waiting to drink your wedding wine."
