Emerging from Fenglin Entertainment Company, Jack Ma pointed to two followers who would carry the groceries: Penguin Ma and Jiang Quan Shui. Lei Ming and Old Wang were there because they willingly followed.
Jack Ma was on a mission to buy groceries today, including those specifically requested by Xia Feng, and he felt immensely proud. He instructed Penguin Ma, "Little Ma, you go buy the shallots. If you can't find them, don't come back tonight."
Shallots stir-fried with eggs was a dish Jack Ma had just made for Xia Feng when he visited the villa earlier. Xia Feng still remembered its fragrant and delicious taste.
What could Penguin Ma say? Jack Ma held a decree in his hand; whatever he said was law. He nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go buy them."
"That's the spirit! Stick with big brother from now on, and I guarantee you'll eat and drink well," Jack Ma said, patting Penguin Ma on the shoulder with evident pride.
"Then I'll go look for them. I'll find you all after I buy them," Penguin Ma said before heading off to search for the shallots.
After Penguin Ma left, Jack Ma turned to Old Wang and the others, "To save time, we'll split up to buy the groceries. We'll meet at the exit later. I've sent the shopping list to all your phones."
Jack Ma now acted like a leader, guiding everyone in their grocery shopping.
Everyone was happy about Xia Feng's return today, and since Jack Ma was in charge of cooking, they wouldn't refuse anything he said. Xia Feng was their god; whatever Xia Feng said was final. Their reverence for Xia Feng surpassed everything else.
Meanwhile, after Xiao Wang and the others returned to the villa, Qin Wen and Ma Yuqin accompanied Xia Feng for tea. Qin Wen was the one who made the tea, as she had done so for Xia Feng multiple times before, and he quite liked her tea.
As for Xiao Wang and Xia Lin, they went to the basement to play games. With the Lunar New Year, League of Legends had released an "All Random, All Any" mode, which everyone was enjoying immensely every day. Xia Lin, in particular, was the typical "bad but loves to play" type; no matter what, she'd play over a dozen games daily, or she wouldn't feel satisfied. This had become one of their entertainment activities during the holiday season. Even though Xia Lin was unskilled, she always picked good heroes, mashing QWER and her skills haphazardly.
While Xia Feng was drinking tea, he received a call from Elder Li.
"Xia Feng, you're back." Elder Li's voice was filled with a smile. Da Feng Novel Network. It wasn't that they were monitoring Xia Feng; Elder Li would know Xia Feng's movements anyway, as his grandson was also there. Xia Feng's return was good news that would surely be shared with Elder Li. This was why Elder Li called Xia Feng.
"Elder Li, long time no see. I wish you an early New Year greeting," Xia Feng said with a smile, offering his New Year's wishes. The Lunar New Year was fast approaching, so it was appropriate for Xia Feng to offer early greetings.
"I was just calling to wish you an early New Year, and you're wishing me one first," Elder Li chuckled upon hearing this. Da Feng Novel.
After a few pleasantries, Elder Li got to the point: "Xia Feng, I have something to tell you, and I need your help." Elder Li's tone turned serious. It seemed he had been in contact with Xia Feng frequently during Xia Feng's absence. Otherwise, his tone wouldn't be so urgent.
"Elder Li, please tell me," Xia Feng said, also becoming serious. Elder Li only spoke to Xia Feng like this when he himself was unable to handle something. He wouldn't bother Xia Feng unless it was important. Xia Feng had long understood Elder Li's personality; he wouldn't trouble Xia Feng for anything less than significant matters. It was precisely because of this that Xia Feng took Elder Li's requests seriously.
