Chapter 1060

Lu Gang nodded. "I’ll go right now." He went to pick up Zhu Shunyao. Although Li Zhi and the others were already with Zhu Shunyao, so there was no need to worry, it was still good to be prepared just in case.

Soon, everyone returned. Zhu Shunyao was still pushing the handcart, with Li Zhi and Lu Gang pushing from behind.

Zhu Yanyi walked over and looked at the steaming rice cakes, smiling. "Dad, it looks like you made them pretty fast today."

"Yes, it was fast and smooth," Zhu Shunyao said with a smile. "I roughly counted, and there are about seven hundred rice cakes. Lu Gang, you and the others can each take fifty to go. Along with some of our vegetables and fruits, send them to your families. It’s not much, but it’s a token of our appreciation."

"Uncle Shunyao, is it really necessary?" Lu Gang said. Although they hadn’t been with the Zhu family for half a year, whenever Zhu Shunyao sent things to Zhu Yanyi and the others, she never forgot to include a share for them.

Zhu Shunyao glanced at Lu Gang. "What? Do you think I’m giving too little?"

"No, no, absolutely not," Lu Gang hurriedly waved his hands. "I just thought these were specially made for your family to eat. If we take five or six hundred, it feels wrong."

"Have you forgotten this is my third time making them? The first two times, I made two or three thousand, and there were still leftovers. Even if you take them all this time, we still have plenty at home. I was also thinking that when An’ni and the others come back, they could bring some to their master and Little Yan." Zhu Shunyao said directly.

Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "Dad, why don’t we mail them? The rice cakes are quite heavy, and logistics still operate during the Spring Festival. It would be better to pack them now and have them delivered. Even if it’s late, it won’t take many days to arrive."

"Alright, since that’s the case, let’s pack them now. Let’s start with the ones left over from the previous two batches. Those are already dry. Today’s batch is too soft to pack; we’ll have to wait until tomorrow." Zhu Shunyao said directly.

Zhu Yanyi and the others packed many portions: for Elder Zhang, Elder Zhan, Elder Li, Elder Yun, Yan Aohan, Elder Du, and even a portion for the Big Boss. Zhu Yanyi had more to send, while Zhu Yanli and Zhu Zhibin had fewer, as they only had Mr. Ye and Mr. Hua as masters. They also packed items for Lu Gang and the others’ families. Zhu Yanyi also sent a portion each to Wang Ye, Zhang Yan, and Qin Tianxiang. By the time they finished packing, it was already evening. Fortunately, Lu Gang and Zhang Sheng were familiar with each other. With one phone call, Zhang Sheng sent someone to pick up the packages.

Except for Lu Gang and the others, who were sending items to their homes, most of the others were sending to the capital. For convenience, Zhu Yanyi unified the shipments to Yan Aohan’s address, letting him handle the distribution. Of course, she also called Yan Aohan to inform him.

For Yan Aohan, this was a small matter, and he agreed without hesitation.

After handling all this, everyone truly entered the countdown for the New Year. They cleaned the house, pasted Spring Festival couplets and "Fu" characters, and stayed busy until New Year’s Eve.

Knowing that Zhu Yanyi had to attend the consecration ceremony of the Mingwang Hall in the afternoon on New Year’s Eve, Xie Xinlian moved lunch forward by half an hour. After eating, she let Zhu Yanyi prepare on her own.

Just as when she had gone to the Guanyin Temple to accept her identity as the Medical Buddha Girl, Zhu Yanyi was now dressed in ancient-style children’s clothing with a beizi jacket. Fortunately, she wore warm clothes underneath.
