Wang Shujuan was as gentle as ever, smiling sweetly at Liu Weidong and asking, "What good stuff is it?"

"Come on, close your eyes and feel it yourself." Liu Weidong grabbed Wang Shujuan's hand with a wicked grin and stuffed it into his waistband.

Although Wang Shujuan obediently closed her eyes, she could still feel her hands. She was startled when she touched Liu Weidong's belt and quickly pulled her hand back.

Liu Weidong asked, puzzled, "Sis, what's wrong with you?"

"You're so annoying!" Wang Shujuan, her face flushed with embarrassment, lightly punched Liu Weidong's chest and said, "You just know how to bully me!"

Liu Weidong then realized that Wang Shujuan had misunderstood, and quickly took out the large envelope from his waist and handed it to her, saying, "Sister, what are you thinking? I wanted to show you this!"

Wang Shujuan's pretty face turned even redder. She took the envelope and asked softly, "What's this?"

"This is a contract for exporting dried matsutake mushrooms." Liu Weidong didn't hide anything from Wang Shujuan and said to her seriously, "With this contract, our family won't have to worry for at least the next ten years. Keep it safe and don't lose it."

Wang Shujuan was both touched and apprehensive that Liu Weidong would entrust her with such an important item. Holding the envelope nervously, she said, "Then...where should I put it? I don't know where in our house is the safest place!"

"Sis, don't be so nervous!" Liu Weidong quickly offered Wang Shujuan some advice: "Actually, as long as you keep it dry and prevent it from getting damp, and don't let it get damaged by mice or insects, it'll be fine. If you ask me... just put it in a metal biscuit tin and then put it in your desk drawer!"

Although it was Liu Weidong's idea, Wang Shujuan still asked with some unease, "Is this... really all right?"

"Don't worry, this will be fine." Liu Weidong said cheerfully, "As long as this thing is kept safe, there's no need to worry about anyone stealing it, because it's useless to steal it. Just don't lose it or let it get chewed up by rats or anything."

Wang Shujuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "It's definitely not going to get lost. I'll go find the cookie box right now!"

In the early 1980s, biscuits were a rare treat for ordinary farming families. Fortunately, in the past six months, Liu Weidong's family's living conditions had improved dramatically, and biscuits had become a common snack, so they had quite a few biscuit tins at home.

To ensure safety, Wang Shujuan specifically found two cookie boxes. She put the contract in the smaller one, and then put the smaller box inside the larger one, only then was she satisfied.

Seeing Wang Shujuan being so cautious, Liu Weidong found it amusing and quickly advised her, "Sister, this is perfectly fine. Just put it in the drawer. You don't need to be so careful."

“You yourself said this thing is very important, of course we have to be careful!” Wang Shujuan disagreed with Liu Weidong’s statement, glancing at him with a hint of complaint, “It’s all your fault for entrusting me with such an important thing. It’s really caused me a lot of trouble!”

Liu Weidong laughed and said, "No matter how you look at it, you are the lady of the house, so of course important things are entrusted to you for safekeeping."

Wang Shujuan understood what Liu Weidong meant, and immediately glanced at him with a mixture of shyness and embarrassment, saying, "I'm not talking to you anymore. You must be exhausted after a long day. Go eat!"

Liu Weidong didn't waste any words and went straight to the kitchen to get the food. Wang Shujuan carefully put away the cookie box and then hurriedly ran to help.

After dinner, Wang Shujuan felt a little awkward. After quickly tidying up the table, she ran to her room with a slightly flushed face.

Liu Weidong quickly stopped Wang Shujuan, asking with a half-smile, "Sister, where are you going?"

Wang Shujuan blushed and said, "I...I'm a little tired, I need to go back to my room to sleep early!"

"Hehe, let's do it together!" Liu Weidong said with a mischievous grin. "Just like last night, didn't you sleep well?"

Wang Shujuan was so frightened that she took two steps back and said timidly, "I can't these next few days, I... I'm still in a bit of pain!"

Liu Weidong understood what Wang Shujuan meant, and he couldn't bear to see his sister suffer, so he said softly to her, "Sister, don't worry. Tonight, let's not do anything, just chat and then go to sleep, is that alright?"

Wang Shujuan looked at Liu Weidong seriously and asked, "Really?"

“It’s absolutely true. You can’t doubt me, right?” Liu Weidong quickly grabbed his sister’s hand and said, “Let’s take a shower together first, then we can chat. Let’s go!”

When Liu Weidong said they were going to take a bath together, Wang Shujuan was so embarrassed that she quickly shook off his hand and ran back to her room.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Liu Weidong couldn't help but sigh softly, "Sigh, I failed. I couldn't get away with it!"

However, Wang Shujuan still listened to Liu Weidong. Although she didn't bathe with him, she still rested in his room that night. Liu Weidong didn't disappoint his sister's trust; he really only chatted for a while before obediently going to sleep.

This made Wang Shujuan secretly relieved and also made her trust Liu Weidong even more. After all, how many young people his age can truly control themselves?

The next morning, Wang Shujuan went to check on her clivia in her private plot. She had been too tired to rest the day before and felt guilty about it. Today, she had finally recovered a bit and naturally wanted to check on the clivia's growth.

Since Liu Weidong had nothing else to do, he went along as well. The two looked around the plot of land, and Liu Weidong was very satisfied with the growth of the clivia.

It's clear that both Wang Shujuan and Aunt Zhao are taking great care of the clivia plants. All the clivias are growing very well, their lush green leaves looking vibrant, and they've grown quite a bit larger. Hundreds of clivias are neatly arranged in the ground, a truly pleasing sight.

Liu Weidong looked at the clivia in the field with a smile and whispered to Wang Shujuan, "Great, these... are all money!"

Wang Shujuan couldn't help but whisper to Liu Weidong, "Weidong, are these clivia plants... really that valuable?"

"That's a must!" Liu Weidong also lowered his voice and told his sister, "Even the newspapers say that in the north, a clivia of this size costs at least 600 yuan, and the price is rising every day. Even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy one!"

Wang Shujuan exclaimed in surprise, "So expensive? Six hundred per tree? We have over seven hundred trees at home, totaling forty-four..."

At this moment, Wang Shujuan hesitated, doubting that her mental arithmetic skills were too poor and that she had miscalculated the price of these clivia plants.

Liu Weidong had already calculated it several times, and he nodded with a smile to Wang Shujuan, saying, "You're right, these clivia plants are worth over 400,000 yuan now!"
