Zhu Yanyi washed five golden melons. She gave one to each person and kept one for herself, taking a bite while standing aside. There was no need to peel them; they tasted exceptionally fragrant.
"Zhu Yanyi, you are so lucky. Your family must be very happy too," Zheng Feier said, her eyes full of envy as she continued eating a bag of strawberries in her hand. The strawberries were vacuum-packed, so there were only about twenty of them. She finished them quickly. Only after finishing did she look at the packaging, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Zhu Yanyi, these are Azure Sovereign fruits."
"Yes, Azure Sovereign brand fruits," Zhu Yanyi replied casually, chewing on her golden melon.
"I heard Azure Sovereign is a new group. They officially announced the establishment of the Azure Sovereign Group this Mid-Autumn Festival. Before that, it was said to be just a private company. But their agricultural products are very rich and abundant, and the taste is good too," Zheng Feier said seriously, tilting her head as if recalling information about the Azure Sovereign Group. "However, Azure Sovereign doesn't have many agricultural products in our Jingdu. It’s mainly due to transportation issues, so not many fruits and vegetables come here every year. But whenever they do arrive, they are very popular. Most of Azure Sovereign’s agricultural products are in Zhejiang Province."
"Feier, you are amazing. How do you know all this information?" Hun Junlan asked, biting into his golden melon. He loved this fragrant, crisp, and sweet taste, and the juice made his mouth feel very comfortable.
"My second uncle was just transferred back from Shanghai recently. Azure Sovereign has already opened an Azure Sovereign Market in Shanghai. I heard the business is very good. When he came back, he brought back a lot of Azure Sovereign fruits. I remember my second uncle saying that in the entire Zhejiang Province, the most successful farmer enterprise is this Azure Sovereign Group. I never thought it was your family's," Zheng Feier said with admiration. "You are a rich young lady."
Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "Does having food not stop your mouths? Besides, to be honest, I am just a farmer's daughter. There is nothing special about me."
"Indeed, no matter what, having food is what matters. I don't care about these brands. Anyway, I will definitely eat all the fruits Zhu Yanyi provides," Luo Kun said, taking big bites of her tomato.
Zhu Yanyi then asked, "By the way, Luo Kun, did you help me steam the rice?"
"I did. I knew you would come back on Sunday night, so I steamed it for you," Luo Kun nodded seriously.
Zhu Yanyi nodded, then added, "My parents came to see us three siblings. I originally planned to come tomorrow morning, but the commute from where we stayed to here was inconvenient, so I decided to come tonight instead."
Ma Yaya asked from the side, "Have Uncle and Aunt gone back now?"
"Not yet. I asked a friend to take care of them," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "My parents rarely come to Jingdu, so I must take some local specialties back with them."
"Ah, it’s a pity that it’s inconvenient to take leave from our affiliated high school. Otherwise, you could have taken a few days off to accompany your parents. You don’t need to worry about your grades," Zheng Feier said directly.
Zhu Yanyi remembered the materials she had bought. "By the way, when I went out this time, I bought some math study materials suitable for you from a bookstore. Since you all want to participate in the math competition together, whether we win a prize or not is secondary. At least we should aim for the top twenty. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to me, right?"
"Top twenty?" Zheng Feier almost choked on her golden melon. "Classmate Zhu Yanyi, do you think we all have a twisted brain like yours? Top twenty? We participate for friendship first. We don’t care about the ranking."
