When they left Guangzhou, they had lots of bags and packages with them. If they bought a house, they would definitely have money to buy other things.

Zhou Qingyun and Chen Suwen bought a lot of trendy things here, because many things in their hometown are not as fashionable as those in Guangzhou.

After returning home, instead of having Zhou Cunzhi come to pick them up, they asked Zhou Qingyun's eldest and second eldest brothers to come and get them.

"No, why did you buy so much stuff?"

Zhou Qingshan came with his son to pick up the people, using the brigade's tractor to transport the goods; there were so many bags and packages.

"These are all gifts for everyone, and they are all the most fashionable things in Guangzhou."

Zhou Qingyun explained to his elder brother that after arriving home, he shared a lot of things with his relatives.

His elder brothers' families, his other cousins' families, and some elders from the Zhou family also sent some gifts.

This time, they even specially sent some fruits from Guangzhou, such as star fruit, bananas, and dragon fruit.

These fruits are still available in Guangzhou this season, along with various kinds of oranges, which are the fruits that the F3 group in South China ate the most during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Suwen also secretly induced many more to be born and mixed them into the things she bought. No one except Zhou Qingyun knew about it.

"Hey, this orange is so delicious!" Zhou Qingshan exclaimed as he peeled and ate the orange.

Oranges are relatively rare in the north, mainly because the climate is not suitable.

Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.

That's the point.

I must say, these oranges are really delicious, very sweet.

Zhou Qingyun smiled. Besides the sugar tangerines, Chen Suwen also got some Wogan tangerines, which were basically all high-sweetness tangerines.

"Brother, I noticed there seem to be quite a few apple trees on the mountain near our brigade. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhou Qingyun remembers that fruit was very rare in those days. Apples were a popular fruit among northerners, although the later South China F3 thought that apples were only for worshipping ancestors and did not like to eat them.

But in those days, apples were also quite popular in South China.

Zhou Qingyun took a look at the apple trees in their Guangming Brigade, and they were quite good.

If their brigade's apple production were the same as in later generations, reaching 5,000 catties per mu, they would definitely have made a lot of money.

"I know the apples will sell well, but our brigade's apple production is just so-so. Although they taste good, transportation is a problem."

Although the brigade had tractors, the price of apples they bought was so-so, and the output wasn't very high.

"Brother, I'll take care of the apple problem." Chen Suwen looked around and pointed to her own apple tree. "I know grafting. I've grafted our apple tree before."

"By grafting different varieties of apples, we can grow large, juicy, and sweet apples."

Chen Suwen was also one of those who didn't really like eating apples.

When I was a child, I probably longed to eat apples, because back then, if you didn't have money, you really couldn't eat apples, since many places in the south didn't grow apples.

Being able to afford apples means the family has some money and the parents love their child.

As an orphan, she envied other people's parents the most. She was very envious of those parents who loved their children.

But as she grew older, she didn't like eating apples as much anymore, since there were many other fruits to eat.

The taste of apples is indeed not particularly amazing compared to other fruits.

Apples, often hailed as the "steamed buns of the fruit world," held no appeal for her.

However, in order to help Guangming Brigade escape poverty and become prosperous, it is not impossible to slightly improve the apple trees.

"Sister-in-law, what did you say? You know how to graft?"

"No, what's going on between you two? The fourth son is secretly practicing mechanical skills, and you're secretly practicing grafting techniques?"

"What's going on between you two?"

Zhou Qingshan had no doubt that his younger brother and sister-in-law had been replaced, as their appearances and habits were very familiar to him.

He couldn't possibly fail to recognize his younger brother, whom he had known for nearly fifty years.

Moreover, Zhou Qingyun was indeed very smart from a young age, but his family was not wealthy at that time, so he did not receive much formal education.

He did indeed attend school for a while with the soldiers who were teaching literacy, and he was genuinely interested in machinery.

He simply returned to his hometown, married, and had children.

Although the woman he married was from Hainan Island, thousands of miles away, he did indeed stay and live honestly in his hometown village.

Having lived under his nose for over twenty years, how could he not know what his younger brother was like?

Moreover, if these two people were enemy agents who had been lying low for many years, why didn't they continue to lie low instead of actively exposing themselves?

What are they planning to do next?

Could it be that the enemy is using their agents to help China rise to power?

Will it help China alleviate poverty and lead rural areas out of poverty and towards prosperity?

Which enemy country is being so kind?

Although his mind was working quickly, Zhou Qingshan showed no unusual expression. He was surprised that Chen Suwen even knew grafting techniques.

"I've studied a little."

For her, grafting techniques are really not that difficult. Back when she was bored and scrolling through videos on her phone, she often came across videos of bloggers teaching how to graft.

She had watched all of that blogger's videos, including grafting on small branches, grafting on large branches, side grafting, double-tongue grafting, bud grafting, and cleft grafting.

Later, after acquiring wood-based superpowers, she grafted various plants of the same genus and family, and over the years her skills have become highly refined.
