Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 383 - Chapter 383 Qianqian Takes the Stage_1

Chapter 383: Qianqian Takes the Stage_1 Chapter 383: Qianqian Takes the Stage_1 The class leader truly lives up to their title, swift and decisive, with impressive efficiency.

In just a few words, with shouts from both the group chat and the scene, they’d already tallied up a list of at least 20 people.

Song Tan: …

She was somewhat incredulous: “Everyone’s going?”

Why such a reckless decision? It made her feel slightly reluctant.

The class leader shook their head: “Not everyone can go. Some people don’t have enough leave, others aren’t interested… But you forgot, since it’s opened up as a parent-child activity, of course parents will go. If there are families with two children, it wouldn’t be surprising if grandparents also tagged along…”

Harvesting rice and farmhouse meals–that’s such a nostalgic activity, both the old and young would definitely be interested.

“Look, we’ve already got the list, 20 people including adults and kids. Just so you know in advance. We only have a few days for the holiday, so let’s go tomorrow– I’ll confirm the final count with you tonight once registration closes!”

Song Tan: …

What could she say?

All she could do was show her respect to the class leader with a salute: “Impressive–where are you employed now?”

Speaking of this, the class leader showed a world-weary face: “Just an insignificant position at the edge of the universe–”

An old classmate chimed in from the side: “Tieling Municipal Government?”

“No.”

The class leader waved a hand dismissively: “Next to the municipal government, in the administrative hall, a salaried employee collecting water fees.”

“Hahahaha…” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh:

“Look at you, just say you work in water services, why the long preamble?”

“I wasn’t wrong!” The class leader defended staunchly: “The edge of the universe means civil service exams. Although I didn’t pass, this salaried position is halfway there.”

“So you collect water fees?”

“Oh no, I’m in the finance office.”

The group burst into laughter once again.

Watching the class leader who single-handedly livened up the reunion, Song Tan secretly decided: If the class leader was also going, she would definitely treat them to an extra cup of tea!

While talking, she peered around again: “Hasn’t Wa Qianqian arrived yet?”

The two female classmates beside her couldn’t bear it: “Why are you so anxious for Qianqian to come?” She’s not exactly the kind-hearted type.

Song Tan waved her hand dismissively: “No, it’s not that. Wa Qianqian is looking after my family business and bought 20 watermelons from me. If she doesn’t come, how can I check the delivery?”

Her pickup truck wasn’t locked and was parked outside, and though it was temporarily covered with straw, it would be troublesome if someone decided to sneak off with them.

“Are you crazy?”

Her classmates immediately burst out: “Why didn’t you say you had watermelons earlier– at least we could’ve cut a couple to boost the mood!”

Then, raising their voice: “Some men, please! Go outside and bring in the watermelons Song Tan brought.”

There was an immediate response: “What? Our beauty Song Tan brought watermelons? I’ve got to show off this haul!”

“It’s not me who brought them.”

Song Tan, as a very competent businessperson, emphasized at this moment: “These were bought by Wa Qianqian with her money from my family. She’s supporting my business and brought a little token for our class reunion.”

“Alright, alright, okay.”

Everyone truly didn’t make much of it, but still, a crowd charged under the still-blazing sun to find Song Tan’s Little Pika.

A tall classmate with long legs clambered up to take a look:

“Whoa! Song Tan, your watermelons are really uniform!”

Each one was round and plump, similar in size, looking like premium melons.

“You bet!”

Song Tan was also proud, “This one was handpicked by me.”

Five jins each, twenty melons all together make a hundred jins and seven liang; of course, I had to pick carefully!

“By the way, be gentle when you move the watermelons since they are ripe–”

Before she could finish her sentence, a boy standing in the truck bed snapped his fingers “bang,” and the watermelon split open with a “crack.”

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…”

The other person was frantically trying to hold the watermelon up, but it was too late as his white T-shirt was already stained with the red juice.

He shook his clothes in annoyance, and then his mood lifted, “Ah, this melon must be sweet! It smells so fragrant! How come Wa Qianqian isn’t here yet? Let’s cut one open first!”

At his call, a pack of hungry young people couldn’t wait to rush forward, taking two each and cradling them into the private room.

…

The car ride had warmed up the watermelons a bit.

Luckily, the classmates didn’t mind. They just asked the waitress to bring a big tub, place it under the air conditioner, and add some cold water before soaking the melons–

The waitress, grinning broadly, said, “No need to go through all that trouble, take it to the kitchen and I’ll cut it for you…”

“No way.” Two boys were drooling by the side of the tub like farmers watching over their wheat: “Our classmate bought these, we have to protect them until she arrives.”

The tone was strange.

The others exchanged glances, clearly recalling the things Wa Qianqian had done–just a hundred-odd jins of watermelon. Now that watermelons were in season and the prices had dropped, they were about three to five yuan per jin. Why keep emphasizing it over and over!

It’s like trying to show charity to Song Tan, making a good deed and yet leaving others feeling uncomfortable.

The classmates who provided the alcohol and beverages each spent a good amount of money too, yet no one made a fuss.

But, after all, they were the ones enjoying it. After saying their piece, they didn’t want to say more…

But now, Song Tan felt she had to say something fair for Wa Qianqian–

“Don’t look down on my melons for being small. The ones from my home are expensive; these are already the biggest in this batch of early-season melons! 20 yuan per jin!”

“Just for these, Wa Qianqian spent a total of 2000 yuan, that’s not a small amount!”

What?

20 yuan per jin for melons?

Everyone became silent for a moment and then looked at each other.

Well, when Qianqian previously said that Song Tan’s stuff was expensive, nobody really felt it. But now looking at these watermelons and thinking about the price of 20 yuan per jin, one melon would be 100 yuan!

What kind of family eats such expensive melons!

The atmosphere suddenly turned serious.

Just then, Wa Qianqian walked into the private room wearing a light green dress.

“Why is it so quiet?”

She was surprised.

Then she saw Song Tan and felt a surge of old and new resentment, yet she still had to put on a smile:

“Song Tan, oh my, how come you look as delicate as a lady of nobility who never lifts a finger when you live in the countryside every day, still so beautiful? By the way, have my watermelons arrived?”

“They’re here!”

Song Tan pointed to a small pile in the corner and to the four melons soaking in the tub, as well as the one on the table with the crack: “Count them, there are twenty in total. That one just split, and they’re so expensive no one dared to touch them, we’ve been waiting for you to cut them open!”

Oh no!

Wa Qianqian was a bit annoyed–according to Song Tan, it seems everyone already knew the price, they must have been shocked just now. Why didn’t she come a bit earlier?

But still…

“Why is there a cracked one?” Wa Qianqian was not happy: “I’m paying such a high price, you can’t give me bad melons.”
