My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 42 Coincidence
"Huanhuan, are we really going to buy them all?"

As soon as Liang Yuemin left, Zhang Tiegen couldn't help but ask.

In his opinion, Chen Ling's vegetables were too expensive; it was okay to try them once in a while.

Buying them all would cost several hundred yuan. It's just a few vegetables, not delicacies. Is it really worth it?

Isn't this a waste of money?

Liu Yinhuan smiled and said, "If Yue Min says he'll buy them all, then let's buy them all."

They really don't care about two yuan a pound.

I just feel like there's a bit too much.

However, both father and son liked it, and they thought it was good too, so buying it all wouldn't be a problem.

"Exactly, we'll buy them all, we'll take them all."

The chubby boy tilted his head back and shouted.

Zhang Tiegen frowned as he listened: "With so many vegetables, will we be able to finish them all?"

"Don't worry, Uncle. We'll buy it. We'll keep some for you, some for my mom, and the rest we'll take to Fenglei Town tomorrow to deliver to Xiaoming's grandparents."

Liu Yinhuan said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't want it, I don't want it, we still have so many pickled vegetables at home..."

Upon hearing that he was also being given something, Zhang Tiegen hurriedly waved his hand.

Then he asked, "Xiaoming's grandparents came too? Why didn't they come to the house?"

"They'll be living in our county town from now on, so they can come whenever they want. It's very convenient since they have a car..."

Liu Yinhuan explained, "However, I estimate that I will have to stay in Fenglei Town for a while. The old man is sentimental and has been thinking about the past. He wants to visit his old friends."

"Oh, like this."

Zhang Tiegen, not understanding why, nodded in response.

Beside him, Chen Ling looked up at the mother and child with surprise, wondering if it was really such a coincidence.

They came from the capital and even went to Fenglei Town...

Could they be related to Qin Rongxian and Liang Hongyu?

However, Chen Ling didn't ask directly. Instead, he reached out and patted the chubby boy's head: "You're such a cute little boy. What's your name?"

"My name is Liang Yiming."

The chubby boy grinned when Chen Ling praised him.

"However, it's the 'Ming' of tomorrow, not the 'Ming' of 'making a name for oneself.' Our teacher is so stupid; she always writes it wrong for me."

"Liang Yiming, what a good name!"

Chen Ling smiled. "His surname is Liang. It seems that it might be him."

As for why he didn't have the surname Qin, he had some speculations about it, recalling how Qin Rongxian treated Liang Hongyu, which was not like what a normal husband should do.

Therefore, it's not impossible for a child to take the mother's surname.

"Hey, Uncle, do you have any more vegetables this delicious?"

The chubby boy shook his head smugly and asked.

"Yes, my uncle has a lot more, but he didn't bring them today. He'll have to wait until the next market day."

Chen Ling said.

"Oh? Next time? I'm going back to Beijing with my parents the day after tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to buy any then."

The chubby boy muttered with a bitter face.

Then she looked up at Liu Yinhuan and said, "Mom, I think we bought too little. I also wanted to bring some for Xiaolizi and the others to try."

"But even if we gave it to my maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and my maternal uncle, it still wouldn't be enough."

Upon hearing this, Liu's father quickly said, "Grandpa and Grandma don't eat these. Take some to your paternal grandparents, and the rest are yours."

Zhang Tiegen hurriedly said, "Uncle, don't want it. You can have it all."

"Dad, Uncle, don't pay him any mind. How can we possibly finish over two hundred pounds of vegetables?"

After Liu Yinhuan finished speaking, she glared at the chubby boy and said, "Spending all day with Xiao Lizi has ruined your temper. If you continue to be so disobedient, I won't take you with me next time I come back."

"No, Mom! This place is so much more fun than Beijing! You can't leave me behind..."

The chubby boy was immediately frightened.

Just then, a black SUV drove up on the dirt road to the north outside Changle Village.

The main east-west road and the main north-south road in the center of Changle Township are market streets. There are so many people that cars can't get out and have to detour from outside Changle Township.

As the car pulled up to the archway, Liang Yuemin got out and immediately attracted a lot of attention, with many people crowding around to see this luxury car, a sight rarely seen even in the county.

Especially the literate villagers, upon seeing the Beijing license plate, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They told those around them, causing a stir. More and more people gathered, and many shoppers and vendors from the market flocked to the scene.

"Uncle Lao Gen, Brother Bao Lai, where is the scale in this episode? There are quite a lot of vegetables, we need to borrow a big scale to weigh them."

Chen Ling asked the two of them a question.

Guo Baolai immediately replied, "I have some at home, I'll go get it for you right away."

"No need, sir, you don't need to trouble yourself."

Liang Yuemin reached out to stop him, and smiled at Chen Ling: "Little boss, you sell it for two yuan a pound, I'll raise the price by one yuan. You can calculate the cucumbers and tomatoes as 150 pounds each, and give me the basket too, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was shocked.

Cucumbers and tomatoes cost three yuan per pound?

This stuff is more expensive than pork! He must be incredibly rich and powerful.

Some people in the crowd tasted Chen Ling's cucumbers and told those around them that they were grown in greenhouses and were very delicious.

"What's wrong with greenhouse-grown vegetables? No matter how delicious they are, they're still vegetables. Selling them at such a high price, isn't that robbery?"

"Exactly, if it were me, I would never buy it even if you killed me."

"Tch, you think you can compare yourself to them? Don't you even know who they are? They're from Beijing, drive cars, and are all people who don't care about money. What are you worrying about?"

"..."

The onlookers were talking a lot.

Chen Ling didn't care what others said, and simply said "okay," agreeing to Liang Yuemin's request.

These are all high-quality produce from our own farm, so it's only natural that they're priced higher than ordinary greenhouse vegetables.

This does save a lot of trouble.

Then Chen Ling helped them move the vegetables to the SUV, and Liang Yuemin took out nine hundred yuan from his briefcase and handed it to him.

"Goodness, this guy hasn't made a sale in three years, but now he's made enough to live off for three years. I was thinking that only a fool would buy it at two yuan a pound, but I didn't expect that a rich and foolish person would come along so soon."

"What do you know? Rich people only buy expensive things, not necessarily the right ones. Otherwise, how would they show off their wealth?"

"..."

Liang Yuemin's car drove away, but the discussion among the crowd grew even more heated.

"Wow, Fugui, I never imagined you could have enough money to buy livestock in just half a day."

Guo Baolai said enviously, "This guy can trade a basket of vegetables for a calf."

These days, a calf only costs seven or eight hundred yuan.

Chen Ling made nine hundred yuan from selling vegetables, which was more than enough to buy a calf.

"Haha, what a coincidence! We ran into someone from the capital who came back to visit relatives. We won't be so lucky next time."

Chen Ling smiled, not caring.

"Didn't Uncle Lao Gen's nephew-in-law leave you that piece of paper? It said something about you calling him."

Guo Baolai reminded him.

"Oh, it's a business card."

Chen Ling explained, "People like that might not come back for years, so leaving a business card wouldn't be of much use."

"Indeed, Uncle Lao Gen's niece is truly a golden phoenix."

Guo Baolai smacked his lips in admiration and said, "I heard that it's on TV every day. You can see it on the TV in the county town every night."

"CCTV?"

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and asked.

"How would I know? I've never watched TV."

Guo Baolai shook his head and then said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the livestock. You've sold all your vegetables. Buy them and go home early. Your house isn't close, so it's better to go early than late."

"Okay, what about your and Uncle Lao Gen's stall?"

Chen Ling nodded, turned around and pushed his bicycle, but then saw Guo Baolai's shoe repair stall and Zhang Tiegen's sugar figurine stall.

Old man Zhang Tiegen got into his nephew-in-law's car and went home. There was no one around, so he asked Guo Baolai to keep an eye on things.

"It's alright, don't worry about it. I live close to home, my wife can keep an eye on things."

Guo Baolai pointed to a tall, thin woman in the crowd who was listening to gossip and said.

"Let's go, let's go check on the livestock."

"it is good."
