CHAPTER XVII

After a while, a middle-aged woman walked out of the gate of the courtyard, about forty or fifty years old, her hair was a little gray, and her face showing the traces of time was a surprise and kind smile, looking very warm, this is about the feeling of mother, Zhao Qinghan thought.

"Yo....Huzi is back? Let Mom see... Why are you thin again, why don't you know how to take good care of yourself when you're out alone? If you don't leave today, your mother will stew a chicken for you at night to replenish your body. Mother Zhou held Xiao Zhou's hand, looked up and down carefully, and said with some distress.

"Mom, I'm not thin, I'm still gaining weight." Xiao Zhou said helplessly, I don't know why every time I go home, my mother will say that he is thin, he has basically nothing to do in the Zhao family's old house except for helping Steward Zhang take care of the flowers and move some things, there is still good food and drink all day long, where will he lose weight? ! It's obvious that he has gained weight, but fortunately he has exercised, otherwise he would have grown into a fat man with a big belly. Ah, by the way, the young lady is still here. Xiao Zhou hurriedly interrupted his mother's nagging and introduced to his mother, "Mom, this is my boss, Miss Zhao Qinghan Zhao, Miss Zhao came this time to buy some seedlings of vegetables and fruits." By the way, what about my dad? ”

"Your dad went to the greenhouse. Miss Zhao, right, our tiger has caused you trouble, if there is anything bad about him, just teach him a lesson, he is the skin, no matter if it doesn't work. Mother Zhou nodded at Zhao Qinghan, who had been standing next to him, and said, "Oh, look at my old woman, you are tired of coming all the way, right?" Let's go inside and sit down for a while, and in a while his dad will be back. I don't know anything about this business, so let's talk about it when his father comes back, come on, come on, you go into the house to rest for a while, you must stay and eat before leaving. Our things are all good, and you can eat them with confidence without those black-hearted pesticides. ”

Xiao Zhou heard his mother's boasting, and blushed a little embarrassed, although it was the truth, but it was really such a boast to Miss..."Miss, come and sit in the house for a while." ”

"No, Xiao Zhou, you can take me to your father, can I talk about anything else after talking earlier?" Seeing that Zhou's mother had already started to pick vegetables and was busy, Zhao Qinghan hurriedly stopped, "Auntie, don't bother, I'm here to buy something today." I still have something to do, and I have to leave after buying it, so I won't bother. Xiao Zhou's words, I'll give him a few days off and let him stay at home with you for a few days, Auntie... Don't be busy. ”

"Miss Zhao, let's eat here before leaving. There are no valuable things in our countryside, and you don't have to shirk these things to eat. Zhou's mother persuaded her, and then took the basket and prepared to go to the back of the house to pick vegetables.

"Yes, Miss. Let's go after eating, you said that you didn't greet you for a meal when you came to my house once, how embarrassed was I to let you go. Anyway, Miss, you have a lot of things to buy, so it's okay for Miss to start after eating. Xiao Zhou was also helping to persuade on the side.

Zhao Qinghan saw that he couldn't refuse, so he nodded in response. And what Xiao Zhou said makes sense, it is estimated that everything you need to buy can be bought here, so if you just spend it in G County in one day today, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

"In that case, I will not refuse. In this way, Xiao Zhou, you take me to see your greenhouse seedlings, and by the way, ask if your uncle's fish fry can be sold now? "Although it is said that you have to spend a whole day here, you can't do nothing, and you have to do everything you can to do your best to have extra time to visit this small county.

"Alright then, miss, you come with me, and I'll take you to my dad. Mom, my dad is there in greenhouse 64, right? Xiao Zhou asked Zhou's mother behind the house, in exchange for Zhou's mother's affirmative response. Looking at Zhao Qinghan, who was dressed beautifully, he hesitated, "Miss, the road is all mud, and it's a little dirty..."

"It's okay, you just take me there. If your clothes are dirty, you can wash them again, so don't rub them off, let's go. Zhao Qinghan generously waved his hand to indicate that it didn't matter.

Xiao Zhou saw that Zhao Qinghan really didn't mind, so he also relaxed and took Zhao Qinghan to his own greenhouse, and introduced a lot of things to Zhao Qinghan along the way. Zhao Qinghan walked with Xiao Zhou, listening to Xiao Zhou's introduction, looking around at the seemingly endless greenhouse, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really spectacular, if these did not use chemical fertilizers, it would be a real green vegetable, I don't know if the price will be a little expensive. Although she has now become a local tyrant, but the money, it is better to save some flowers, otherwise in case she goes bankrupt one day....Zhao Qinghan is a little worried, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Zhao family was not born by business, it is not a bankruptcy problem, take 10,000 steps back, even if the Zhao family goes bankrupt, as long as the old guys in the Zhao family are still there, it is only a matter of time before the Zhao family will become strong again.

"Miss, it's here." Xiao Zhou's words recalled Zhao Qinghan, who was in a trance, and Zhao Qinghan nodded and signaled that he understood. Zhao Qinghan stood in the center of the greenhouse, there was no shop in front of the village, there were greenhouses all around, and from above, Zhao Qinghan was like a small boat in the sea of greenhouses.

Xiao Zhou saw that Zhao Qinghan didn't say anything, so he lifted the felt curtain at the door of the greenhouse and got in, and then lifted the felt to signal Zhao Qinghan to enter the shed. Zhao Qinghan was not pretentious, and a short body got into it through the gap in the open door curtain. Different from the cold outside, the greenhouse is very warm, and there are small green seedlings everywhere, forgive Zhao Qinghan, the eldest lady who does not distinguish between grains, she doesn't know anyone.

Not long after the two of them entered, a person came out of the depths of the greenhouse, with a somewhat rickety figure, thinking that it was a hunchback caused by bending over and tending to the seedlings all day long. Although he was a little hunchbacked, it did not affect his own spirit at all, his waist was straight, he walked in a tiger's style, his eyes were bright, and he couldn't tell that it was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. The man had some dirt on his body and a small seedling in his hand. Thinking that this person is Zhou's father who is working in the shed, he must have been a great figure when he was young, Zhao Qinghan thought to himself.

"Dad!" Xiao Zhou was the first to say hello.

"Yo, Huzi is back. Why did you come to the greenhouse? The man looked at his son, unconsciously showed a kind smile on his face, and reached out to pat Xiao Zhou's shoulder. Xiao Zhou's shoulder was gloriously left with a slap print with mud marks, Xiao Zhou couldn't laugh or cry, "Dad, I'll bring Miss to discuss something with you." This is Miss Zhao Qinghan Zhao, my boss. Miss, this is my dad. ”

"Hello Uncle Zhou." Zhao Qinghan bent down and saluted and greeted the elders.

"Hello Miss Zhao, our tiger has caused you trouble." Father Zhou also smiled and nodded in return, and then asked suspiciously, "I don't know what Miss Zhao wants to discuss with me?" ”

"Uncle Zhou, you're welcome, you are an elder, Uncle Zhou just calls me Qinghan, Miss Zhao doesn't listen very well. That's the case, I want to buy some seedlings of vegetables and fruits, just when Xiao Zhou said that the family is doing this business, I will take advantage of it, and ask Xiao Zhou to take me to buy your seedlings. Zhao Qinghan said what he meant.

Father Zhou nodded kindly, and then smiled happily: "Then I'll call you Qinghan." There is no problem with this, just because you are the boss of the tiger, how can I give you a discount. I just don't know how much Zhao....Qinghan needs? Father Zhou smiled heartily.

"I want more, because I plan to plant it in the mountains, and I will need more types, vegetables and fruits, especially fruits, I don't know if Uncle Zhou has so much?"

"No problem, it just so happens that a new batch of seedlings has not yet found a buyer, since Qinghan needs it, then sell it to Qinghan." I just don't know when you want Qinghan? I'm ready to send it to Qinghan when the time comes. ”

"Let's do it, Uncle Zhou just needs to send the things to the warehouse. Uncle Zhou doesn't have to worry about the rest, I'll call someone to move the things. ”

"Okay, I don't know if Qinghan wants melons and fruits or vegetables first?"

"Let's have melons and fruits first, and there are as many types of fruit seedlings as possible. Then I will send vegetables, as well as rice and wheat seeds. Zhao Qinghan pondered, "I heard Xiao Zhou say that his uncle's family is making fish and shrimp fry, can Uncle Zhou help me contact him?" I also need to buy some fish and shrimp, of course chickens, ducks, pigs and cows are the best, of course if there are cows that are even better. It's just that I can't be separated, so I need Uncle Zhou to help me inquire, and I will give Uncle Zhou additional labor fees when the time comes. ”

"Hi... What a big deal. This matter is on Uncle Zhou and me, and I will get it for you. Father Zhou patted his chest and assured that he was honored to leave a slap mark on Father Zhou's own chest. Xiao Zhou didn't look away, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, when would his father's problem with the pat by the way be changed.

"This will trouble Uncle Zhou, but the quality of this thing also needs to be guaranteed." Zhao Qinghan asked with a smile.

"That's no problem, Qinghan, you can relax. Everything in our county is green, and we have been rewarded by the state and have been on TV. And because you are the boss of Huzi, my Lao Zhou will not pit you, such a tasteless thing, my Lao Zhou can't do it. Father Zhou swore and said.

"Okay, then it's troublesome Uncle Zhou. If you have time, it's best to get it done before tonight, and I'll pay half of the deposit first, and then pay the balance after accepting the things. ”

"Okay, okay, then let's say it, Qinghan, you go back with Huzi to rest first, I'll help you inquire, if it's okay, I'll send someone to call you, do you think this is okay?"

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Zhou."

"No trouble, no trouble, almost all the people in the county have come out recently, and the seller has not been found. If you hadn't come, most of these things would have smashed into your own hands, and if you want me to say, Qinghan, you have done a good thing for the croppers in our county. Okay, you two can go back and rest first, Huzi, ask your mother to cook a few more dishes and give Qinghan a taste of our dishes. ”

"Okay Dad, I got it. My mother had already started making it when I came here, so I was waiting for lunch to eat. ”

"That's good, that's good. Then I'll go around the county first and help Qinghan ask about the situation. You go back quickly, it's weirdly cold when the wind blows this day, don't freeze if you wear so little Qinghan. After speaking, Father Zhou turned around and walked in the other direction, leaving only Xiao Zhou and Zhao Qinghan, who were a little embarrassed and crying, standing in place.

Xiao Zhou was a little helpless, thinking that his father's worrying and fiery personality had not changed after so many years. Zhao Qinghan couldn't cry or laugh, he was not wearing a lot, and it was definitely impossible to freeze or something.

"Let's go, Xiao Zhou, go back and wait for Uncle Zhou's good news."

"Yes, miss."
