Chapter 135 The Wool Has Arrived

  After lunch at Liu's house, Liu Qinshu took Chu Chen to a friend's place and got the long-awaited property certificate, household registration book, and a brand new ID card. When he received these three things, he was suddenly so excited that he couldn't control himself, and could no longer maintain his usual calm demeanor in front of Liu Qinshu.

  At the same time, Zhou Wenping was also excited and couldn't help himself. He too had obtained his long-awaited property certificate from A Chao, just like Chu Chen. After their excitement subsided, with A Chao having some free time in the evening, the three of them got drunk and drank until they were completely intoxicated...

  Time flies, and it's already the 25th. These seven days have been very fulfilling for Chu Chen, who has spent most of his time studying, except for going to the villa every day to take a look around.

  Picking up the textbooks he hadn't looked at in years, Chu Chen didn't calm down to study like ordinary people. On the contrary, thanks to his current photographic memory and strong logical processing ability, he was extremely interested in learning at a rapid pace.

  It's precisely because of this that Chu Chen didn't just memorize knowledge points from the materials. He was originally someone who liked to see perfection in his work, and since he had an extraordinary ability, he naturally wanted to bring out its full potential.

  He then went to buy all the textbooks from high school freshman to senior, preparing to learn the entire high school curriculum like a normal high school student. In just one short week, the results were very impressive, so far, Chu Chen has already mastered the language, math and foreign languages of the first year of high school.

  Chu Chen believed that no matter what, he could finish all his high school courses before October.

  Today, as usual, Chu Chen first went to ask Liu Lao a question, and then went to the villa to take a look around. The construction team introduced by Professor Shi, after observing for a few days, can be seen that their work style is quite solid, plus he paid an extra bonus, so everyone is full of energy.

  Seven days have passed now, and a rough outline of the effect map can be seen in the courtyard, which makes Chu Chen feel very satisfied.

  On his way home, Chu Chen finally received the long-awaited call that the woolen goods he had been entrusted to transport had arrived.

  Originally, according to the scheduled time, the wool should have arrived last Sunday at the latest. However, unexpectedly, the logistics company's car had an accident on the way from Yingjiang to Chun City and hit an old lady.

  The old lady's injury was not serious at first, and the driver actively handled it, but unexpectedly, the driver thought he had killed someone and ran away directly. The hit-and-run was seen by passersby who took note of the license plate number. How could they escape? As a result, the person and the car were caught as soon as they arrived in Spring City, wasting several days of Chu Chen's time.

  Those days, Chu Chen waited left and right, but couldn't wait for the logistics company's phone call. He was anxious in his heart, knowing that among those materials, just the jade he had detected with his special ability was worth over 40 million, not to mention there were also over 30 kilograms of precious materials that had reacted to his detection. If something unexpected happened, the loss would be too great.

  Finally, Chu Chen called the logistics company and was furious to hear what had happened. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a great relief in his heart. Fortunately, the logistics company provided door-to-door delivery service as an apology, which saved Chu Chen some trouble.

  He rushed to Wu Shu's home, only to see Wu Shu and Wu Shu's wife already helping the workers unload the goods. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen hurried forward, letting Wu Shu and his wife rest aside, taking their place himself, after a flurry of activity, nearly five or six hundred catties of wool were all piled up in Wu Shu's courtyard.

  Watching the dust-covered truck drive away, Chu Chen thought it was time to buy a car.

  In fact, if there were no accidents, Chu Chen would have bought a car long ago. However, Liu Qingshu had said before that as long as he got his driver's license, she would accompany him to look at cars together.

  Although Chu Chen got his driver's license in just one day, it wasn't convenient to tell Liu Qin Shu about this kind of thing. Previously, he had said that he wouldn't drive. According to common sense, no matter what, it was impossible to become very familiar with driving in just one day. Therefore, Chu Chen originally planned to wait a few more days before saying anything.

  However, he did not expect that after waiting for a few days, Liu Qiu Shu actually went on a business trip and would be away for almost a month. Fortunately, she somehow remembered that Chu Chen wanted to buy a car, so when he visited Old Liu today, he got a name card from the manager of the car dealership.

  "Xiao Chen, what are you going to do with so many wool materials?" Wu Shu said with a frown as he saw the five or six hundred catties of wool materials in the yard.

  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Wu, after the renovation of my villa is completed, I will move over there. At that time, I plan to slowly explain."

  Wu Shu shook his head and said, "Suit yourself, but there should be some good wool in here. I don't feel at ease putting it in the yard. You pick them out first and put them in the house."

  Chu Chen picked up the two bags of wool beside him and smiled: "Hehe, Uncle Wu, no need to pick, I've already made marks before."

  "Alright, you go release it yourself, I have another friend in the store who is waiting for me to hurry over." After finishing speaking, Wu Shu hastily walked towards the outside of the door.

  Chu Chen was deeply moved after hearing this and hastily shouted: "Uncle Wu, slow down..."

  After Chu Chen put away the woolen goods in the storage room, Wu Shu asked him: "Xiao Chen, are you eating here today?"

  Chu Chen said with some embarrassment: "This batch of wool, some of it belongs to my friends. I just called them and we might have dinner together later."

  "Well, you drink the soup I cooked for you first." With that, Wu Aunt went into the kitchen and soon came out with a bowl of soup.

  Chu Chen took a sip of the soup and felt that there was a hint of Chinese medicine flavor inside, and curiously asked: "Aunt, what kind of soup is this?"

  "Auntie Wu smiled and said, 'This is walnut kernel du zhong stewed pigeon milk, you've been reviewing your lessons recently, haven't you? Drinking this soup can nourish the brain, be sure to drink a bit more.'"

  Upon hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel moved and said: "Auntie, why go to so much trouble? It's too bothersome! If I want to drink it, you can just give me the recipe and I'll make it myself at a restaurant, isn't that easier?"

  "Wu Aunt shook her head repeatedly and said: 'This won't do, who knows if the restaurant uses genuine ingredients, I'm not reassured.'"

  "Then you tell me the recipe and I'll just cook it at home myself?"

  "You lazy little devil, I've told you, can you do it yourself?"

  Chu Chen smiled and said: "I will definitely do it. If you are not at ease, go to my place to check."

  Aunt Wu said: "This is what you said, if one day I see that you haven't cooked, then you won't have the right to cook soup."

  "Ah, do we have to boil it every day?"

  Aunt Wu thought for a moment and said, "Oh, that's also good. Now it's summer, if you drink too much of this soup, I don't know if it will get a fever or not. Let's just cook it every other day, that should be fine!"

  Seeing Wu Shu's determined expression, Chu Chen could only nod and say: "Alright, you report it then, I'll take note."

  "Materials are: walnut 75g, eucommia 30g, pigeon 1, ginger 3 slices."

  "Ah, Wu Auntie, what's Dou Zhong? I've never heard of it." said Chu Chen.

  "Wu Aunt replied: "Du Zhong is a type of Chinese medicinal herb, which can be found in Chinese medicine shops. When making it, wash all the ingredients clean and put them into a stew pot, then add about half a catty of cold boiled water and a small amount of yellow rice wine, cover and steam for three hours, when drinking, just add some salt to taste."

  This soup has the effect of nourishing the brain and calming the mind, warming the lungs and tonifying the kidneys. Drinking it in winter is most effective. If any book friends feel that their mental energy is being consumed too much, they might as well try it out.

  "Ah, this soup is actually going to take three hours to cook?"

  "Wu Aunt smiled and said: "How is it? Do you think it's taking too long, getting a bit annoyed?"

  Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "Since it's going to take a long time, I'd rather do it myself. I don't want you to work so hard."

  Aunt Wu smiled and said: "Silly child, now it's not like before, using a stove, what's tiring about that? Alright, don't say anymore, hurry up and finish the soup, it's almost cold."

  After finishing the soup, Chu Chen and Wu Shu chatted for a while. Before long, Li Guotang and his group arrived.

  When they met, Chu Chen saw Li Guotang and Wen Yuting's affectionate appearance, and couldn't help but tease:

  "Brother Li, you've been living a pretty good life recently, but you've left me, the matchmaker, behind and it's really heartbreaking!"

  Wen Yuting spoke up first: "Hmph, Chu Ge, I didn't expect you to be so bad. You didn't even ask for our opinions and just opened a room for us."

  "Hey, that day I don't know who it was, in the midst of a large crowd, hugging and kissing, what I did was also following public opinion."

  Being said that by Chu Chen, Wen Yuting's face turned bright red with shame, stuttering and saying: "You... I... Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore!"

  That appearance made Chu Chen and Chu Yulan both secretly laugh uncontrollably.

  After chatting and laughing, Chu Chen anxiously asked Chu Yulan: "Xiao Lan, how's your body? I think you've lost a lot of weight!"

  This time, Chu Yulan was at least seven or eight pounds thinner than last time, and her face looked a bit pale. The whole person looked like a sick beauty, looking quite pitiful.

  "Brother Chu, it's okay, I've been like this since I was a kid. Every year, I get sick two or three times and end up looking like this. I'm used to it."

  Chu Chen furrowed his brow and said, "Is there such a strange illness? Can't the doctors do anything about it?"

  Chu Yulan shook her head: "The doctor can't do anything about it, saying it's due to congenital physical reasons and that it can't be made up for later in life. Anyway, after all these years, I've gotten used to it, besides, it's not fatal."
