Cheng Baokun looked curious. "Why are you looking at flower sales?"
Zhu Shun Yao smiled. "I want to see the medicine market too. Ani told me we will grow more flowers and herbs later. Many flowers are medicines, like honeysuckle and jasmine. So there is a market for them. Since I am here, I must look at everything."
Zhu Shun Yao did not know he was doing what a responsible leader does. But his actions opened the door for his future path.
Cheng Baokun was surprised. He saw Zhu Shun Yao’s smartness. It was not fully shown yet, but it would grow deeper with time.
Cheng Baokun sighed in his heart. Zhu Shun Yao was like an uncut gem. He was slowly showing his own brilliance. Cheng Baokun only thought of vegetables and fruits for the workshop. He never thought of other products. Now he saw Zhu Shun Yao was preparing for big things. Not just vegetables and fruits, but also herbs, flowers, and even grain. Only real farmers know how precious the land’s return is.
Zhu Shun Yao and Cheng Baokun ran around for three whole days. Zhu Yanyi only greeted them when she returned, then continued her work. She knew what they were doing and said nothing. Even now, they could provide many fruits, vegetables, and herbs. In the future, there would be even more products.
After three days of investigation, Zhu Shun Yao and Cheng Baokun packed their bags to return to Sicheng Town. A telegram suddenly arrived from Sicheng Town. It was sent by En Fu on behalf of Chan Yao. It said something happened at the Zhu family and asked him to return quickly. Zhu Shun Yao did not know what happened, but since En Fu sent it, he had to go back.
Yan Aohan bought the train tickets for them. They were very good soft sleeper tickets. They bought two whole carriages to avoid trouble. Of course, they bought many souvenirs. They bought Beijing roast duck to eat on the road. They also bought Lv Da Gun and other pastries to give to people back home.
"Ani, you are staying in Beijing alone. Take good care of yourself, do you hear me?" On the train platform, Xie Xinlian worriedly told Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Mom, don’t worry. I will be fine. I will take good care of myself. I will come back after the exam. Also, news about which middle school I go to should come soon. Please keep an eye out for me."
"Understood. Don’t worry." Xie Xinlian nodded directly. Even if she gave up her own work, she would not forget her daughter’s future.
Chen Ailian also advised, "If you run out of money, send a telegram to Godmother. Godmother will send it to you. Remember, do not suffer when you are alone outside." Her voice was full of reluctance.
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi felt this scene was a bit like a sad farewell. She was only staying a few more days, not leaving forever. But her heart felt warm. So she listened to all the adults’ nagging.
