Chapter 384 -384 Sending Stuff
Bai Yue sent items to the address Bai Xiao had left her; she feared that the place wouldn’t have the local delicacies of their area, so she specially bought a lot of things, all of which were easy to preserve. There was also her sister’s favorite millet—newly harvested from the village, specially prepared by Liu Baoguo and his wife because they knew Bai Xiao loved it. Bai Xiao enjoyed drinking millet porridge, so they sent over some freshly ground new millet.
There were also many other things, such as the famous red sausages from here, black fungus, and her homemade pickled radishes—these were all her sister’s favorites. Ever since Bai Xiao started working there, he suddenly stopped sending any messages. He only wrote a letter when he first arrived, and then nothing more.
The problem was that there was no news from Captain An either; it seemed as though both had disappeared all at once.
The fact that her sister was transferred was something she hadn’t yet come to terms with, yet suddenly Captain An stopped showing up at their house, which was very strange.
At first, she thought maybe Bai Xiao and Captain An had some trouble, perhaps they argued over something. However, after Bai Song’s visit, they found out that Captain An had actually left a day before Bai Xiao, for an important mission. Only then she understood that Captain An was on an assignment.
She felt somewhat disappointed by this—as Bai Xiao and Captain An were so far apart, and not together, it was inevitable that their feelings for each other might change. Bai Yue was worried, but she also knew that the nature of their jobs was such, and she couldn’t really say anything about it.
But she was worried, deep down.
It was at this time that Bai Yue realized how difficult it was to truly be the wife of such a man.
Not to mention living apart in different places, it was worrisome enough not to see each other all year round, but the lack of communication due to inconvenient transportation was even more concerning.
With the items in hand, she arrived at the post office where the staff checked her package for contraband. Finding none, they handed her a form to fill out the address. Only after she had managed to send the goods off with great difficulty did Bai Yue return home with trepidation, continually worried.
Wang Yan was in the store, directing the waitstaff as they busied themselves with cleaning up.
The kitchen was finishing up bringing in the provisions, and one of the delivery persons was a vegetable vendor with whom they had a long-term partnership. Since the second Bai Family Spicy Hot Pot restaurant had also opened, both establishments were bustling with activity. Even with two venues, they were packed every day.
The Bai Family Spicy Hot Pot’s reputation had now spread far and wide, and it had become a household name known for its famous hotpot.
Their daily consumption of vegetables and meat had become significant. They had gone from personally buying at the market to now having vendors delivering directly to them.
Seeing Bai Yue return, the vegetable vendor, Old Zhang, hurriedly greeted her. This couple’s business was booming, and since they started their long-term partnership, his own business had improved greatly. Just the daily demand from the two Bai Family restaurants was substantial. He provided quality and quantity with the freshest vegetables. Compared to other vendors who waited at the market all day, he now had a stable income.
Even if he had an errand that day and couldn’t set up his stall, as long as he delivered to the Bai Family’s restaurant, he was guaranteed his earnings for the day.
He knew that Wang Yan was returning the favor because he had extended them credit for vegetables in the past. Otherwise, with so many other vendors at the market, some who were cheaper or had fresher produce, why would they exclusively use his?
This couple was known for their benevolence.
And they were particularly meticulous in their dealings.
