Chapter 239 The Great Harvest

Dad Wen responded to the police, and hurried back to the carriage, fearing that something might happen to Wen Shunian if he was delayed for a while.

Dad Wen opened the door and saw Wen Shunian lying on the bed obediently, sleeping soundly. He looked around and found nothing wrong. Dad Wen walked in gently, closed the door gently, and put the kettle on the table gently.

Father Wen took advantage of the situation and sat beside Wen Shunian's bed, quietly looking at Wen Shunian with a loving face.

Father Wen pulled the quilt aside and gently covered Wen Shunian. Wen Shunian groaned. Father Wen thought he had woken her up, so he didn't dare to move the hand pulling the quilt until he was sure that Wen Shunian hadn't woken up before continuing. Cover her with a quilt.

Dad Wen took the book on the table and looked at it. Every time he turned the pages of the book, he turned it slowly, for fear of disturbing his good daughter.

The two arrived in City C at noon the next day. Father Wen was carrying a suitcase and Wen Shunian was carrying a large backpack. The two asked for the address along the way.

Wen Shunian pointed to the guest house in front, and said with a smile: "The aunt said just now that it's not far ahead, Dad, let's open a room to put our luggage down, and go after lunch."

Father Wen nodded, and shared two rooms with Wen Shunian. The two found a restaurant nearby and had lunch before walking slowly to Guonong's house.

Seeing the closed door, Wen Shunian said disappointedly: "Dad, it seems that there is no one at home, what should I do?"

Before Dad Wen could speak, a voice came from the side asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Wen Shunian and Dad Wen turned around at the same time, and an old man who was about the same age as grandpa was standing behind them, looking at them with doubts.

Dad Wen greeted with a smile: "Hello, Uncle, we were introduced by a friend, but we don't know our name, we only know that our surname is Cheng."

The old man looked at the two vigilantly and asked, "Introduced? Who introduced you?"

Father Wen looked at Wen Shunian, and Wen Shunian smiled and said, "Hi, Grandpa, He Lingui introduced us."

The old man thought for a while, guessing that he was thinking of home, but he still looked at the two vigilantly, took out a key from his pocket, and said calmly, "Come in and sit down."

Wen Shunian and the two hurriedly followed, followed the uncle into the house, and as soon as they entered, they saw a lot of vegetables planted in the corners around the yard, and two sickly strawberries, tenaciously alive. A place to enjoy the cool air.

Pointing to the stool inside the vine, the old man said lightly, "Sit down."

When the two of them were seated, the old man took out a tobacco rod and a match from his body, lighted it slowly and smoked it.

The old man glanced at the two of them, and asked casually, "Why did he introduce you?"

Father Wen and Wen Shunian glanced at each other, and Father Wen smiled and said, "You must be the Uncle Cheng he mentioned, that's right, I bought some seeds from him a few months ago, and a friend of mine planted them. Some came out, so let me buy some more for him, He Lingui said he didn't have any, so he gave us your address."

Uncle Cheng took a serious look at the two of them, probably because Dad Wen said it was generous, Uncle Cheng's eyes became less vigilant, and he asked, "How much did you buy from him?"

Wen Shunian took up the conversation, and said with a smile: "He said that he bought it for fifteen dollars, and when we bought it back, we planted some strawberries and apples. The rest are probably because their skills are not up to standard."

Only then did Uncle Cheng dispel his doubts, and smiled: "It's not that the technology is not good enough, it's the fertilizer. I have tried many times before I can plant a few varieties, but the growth is not too high."

"So that's the case, so I would like to ask, Grandpa Cheng, what kind of fertilizer do you think is good?"

Uncle Cheng glanced at Wen Shunian, and said with a smile, "I don't know either. Intuitively, I think the problem lies in the fertilizer."

Dad Wen responded with a smile: "I think it should be, maybe it has something to do with the geographical environment?"

Dad Wen's words directly caused Uncle Cheng to fall into deep thought. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands, and looked at Dad Wen in surprise: "Oh, why didn't I expect that, the growth of this and that crops are different, There must be requirements in this regard, oops, my brain, I knew it when I was doing farm work before, but I haven’t done it for a few years, and I basically forgot about it.”

Father Wen and Wen Shunian looked at the excited Uncle Cheng with smiles on their faces.

Uncle Cheng was happy for a while before he asked the two of them, "Are you here to ask about seeds today?"

Wen Shunian nodded quickly: "Yes, Mr. Cheng, do you still have seeds? We want to buy more."

Father Wen looked at Uncle Cheng's hesitant eyes and said, "This is Uncle Cheng, you don't have to be suspicious of us. We came here from Kyoto just to buy more from you."

Uncle Cheng was surprised when he heard that the two had come from the capital. He glanced at them, took a puff of cigarette and said slowly, "There are indeed some, but I haven't grown most of them. If you buy them back and plant them If you don’t come out, you can’t ask me to return the goods.”

Wen Shunian hastily nodded and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, we won't, we're going to buy some more to try, maybe what can't be grown in City B, will grow when we get to Kyoto."

"Haha, that makes sense, that's alright, you guys come with me and put them all in the room," said Uncle Cheng, getting up and taking the two of them to the room.

Wen Shunian pointed to the sacks that occupied most of the room, and asked in surprise, "All of these?"

Uncle Cheng looked at Wen Shunian's surprised expression, and said with a smile: "Not all of them, there are a few pockets containing vegetables, and they were bought last year. I originally wanted to take them back to my hometown, but I haven't always had time. Go back and leave it here."

"Then can we buy them all?" Wen Shunian looked at Uncle Cheng eagerly.

Uncle Cheng glanced at the two of them, and said in disbelief, "Both? Don't tease me, these are worth a lot of money."

Wen Shunian was afraid that Uncle Cheng would not believe what he said, so he quickly looked at Dad Wen.

Father Wen received the girl's gaze and said affirmatively: "If you want it, you can have it all. Just in case, my friend gave me some extra money. Uncle Cheng, how much are these?"

Uncle Cheng took a sip of his cigarette, looked at the two of them and said seriously, "Both? Are you kidding me?"

Seeing Wen Shunian and the two nodding firmly, Uncle Cheng offered a price directly: "The seeds in this half of the room add up to about 300, you should keep 300."

Father Wen quickly took out the wallet Wen Shunian made for him from his pocket, counted three hundred from it, and handed it to Uncle Cheng: "You are right about the money."

After Uncle Cheng confirmed it was correct, he looked at the two of them and said, "The seeds in this house are not light. I don't think you have come by car. How about this? You give me the location. My nephew will come back later, and I will ask him to give it to me." You send it."

After Uncle Cheng finished speaking, he took two hundred out of the 300 yuan and returned it to Father Wen, and said with a smile, "The one hundred in my hand is regarded as a deposit, and you can give me the rest after the seeds are delivered."
