On Friday morning, Zhou Xiang wanted to take advantage of the fact that no one was at home to go into the space and mess around for a while, but he didn't expect Zhou Yizhou to drive over.

"Little sister, big brother is here to see you."

"Come in and sit down. Aren't you busy lately?"

Zhou Yizhou followed Zhou Xiang into the main hall and said, "What are you busy with? Recently, the farmers' vegetables have started to be put on the market in large quantities, and the vegetables in the greenhouse are not selling well, and the price is not high either."

"It's also good to let the land rest. In late summer, when farmers start to pull out vegetable seedlings, you can start planting in the greenhouse."

"That's what I said, but some people disagree! They say I've taken up so many resources and haven't earned back the benefits yet."

"Who is that? The person who said that must be a lazy person who doesn't know the difference between grains and plants. He will suffer losses in everything he does."

"He's my dad's sworn enemy. Speaking of which, it's us who are responsible for you. Regarding the fruit issue, he was trying to intercept the supply, which is why Jiang Zongda found you based on Liu Xuewen's apples."

"Why does he need a supply of fruit?"

"He was also purchasing for the company. He thought I was making a lot of money from the fruit, and the company had said last time they were willing to buy it for 1.5 yuan, so he had an idea."

"There's no point in even thinking about it! Putting aside whether I'd cooperate with him or not, even if you wanted it, you might not have it."

Zhou Yizhou thought Zhou Xiang was angry, so he quickly explained, "The matter has been resolved. Jiang Zongda was investigated for bribery and has been detained. Liu Xuewen was specially transferred by the Municipal Education Bureau to temporarily serve as the acting head of the General Education Section. He said he was acting, but if he performed well, the word "acting" would definitely be removed.

And my father's sworn enemy was demoted and transferred to another county."

"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. It's just that the person who has been providing me with the supply said that the previous fruits were semi-finished products, so the price was cheap and the supply was large.

Now that they have successfully developed the product, they will not sell it casually. They will sell it specifically to powerful and wealthy people. In the future, they will sell it by the piece instead of by weight, and the fruits developed later will be even more effective.

Therefore, it is not something that people in our small place can afford.”

Zhou Yizhou exclaimed, "Selling by the piece? How much is one?"

"At least ten yuan each. They plan to ship them to big cities or export them overseas."

Zhou Yizhou was shocked when he heard this. "Ten yuan each, almost as much as eating ginseng."

"That's right. I happen to have another one here. Do you want to try it?"

Zhou Yizhou nodded repeatedly, "Try it! I'll try what this ten-yuan piece of fruit tastes like. Then I can brag about it when I go out."

Zhou wanted to go to the south room and smuggle out a peach. Zhou Yizhou loved eating peaches.

After washing it, I took it to the main room.

Zhou Yizhou took the peach, took a bite, and the delicious juice flowed down his esophagus into his abdomen. Suddenly, a warm current slowly rose in his abdomen, making him feel extremely comfortable. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah! So delicious! One bite and my pores open up, and my whole body feels refreshed. Hmm! No wonder they sell it for ten yuan each! Worth it!"

In just two sentences, he had eaten a big peach.

She stroked her belly gently and looked at Zhou Xiang with an unsatisfied look, "Little sister, is there anything else?"

Zhou Xiang shook his head. "They just gave me a few to try. This is the only one left."

Zhou Yizhou sucked the saliva from his mouth regretfully, picked up the peach pit on the table, put it in his mouth, bit open the peach pit with a "crunch", and ate the peach kernel inside.

Zhou Xiang wanted to cover his eyes, it was too painful to watch. He believed that if the peach pit shell was not too hard, he could chew it.

"Come on, I'll show you the watermelons I planted. They're from the same seeds as last time. I wonder what they'll taste like when they're ripe?"

"Where is it planted?" Zhou Yizhou picked up the car keys and prepared to drive there.

"In the yard."

"How many trees can you plant in your small yard?"

"Let's go! You'll know when you see it."

In the small open space of about ten square meters next to the door, I saw more than a dozen watermelon vines climbing vigorously on the bamboo racks.

There was also a fist-sized watermelon in the straw rope bag, which left Zhou Yizhou stunned.

"Sister, little sister, can watermelons be so space-saving? Can my greenhouse be used like this?"

Zhou wanted to nod. Previously, they wanted him to be down-to-earth and build the vegetable greenhouse first, but those who took efficiency as the criterion did not see it that way. They thought that since off-season vegetables had been successful, it would be nice to plant off-season fruits as well.

Don't you want immediate benefits? Watermelons don't need to wait two or three years like fruit trees to bear fruit.

"Watermelons mature in three to four months. If you start planting them now and take your time, you can still catch up with the harvest before the New Year. However, I suggest you build a separate greenhouse and find a different watermelon grower. Don't mix them with vegetables."

"I understand. People's hearts are hard to predict! Melon farmers are melon farmers, and vegetable farmers are vegetable farmers. They can't be confused. Wages and benefits can't be confused either.

But, little sister, can your watermelon be used as a seed? Ordinary watermelons that are out of season or not are not very popular.

"Don't worry, I want a lot of seeds."

Zhou Yizhou excitedly picked up Zhou Xiang and threw her into the sky, "Little sister, you are so good, you are really my lucky star."

Zhou Xiang was shocked. He weighed at least fifty pounds, but this fat guy Zhou actually threw him up with one hand.

"Whoa! Put me down!"

Zhou Yizhou seemed not to hear and just excitedly threw her up high like a child.

Zhou Niao came back from playing and heard her sister's scream. She immediately ran home quickly and saw Zhou Xiang being thrown into the air when she entered the house.

He took a quick step forward, picked up his sister, and held her in his arms.

Zhou Yizhou was having fun when someone snatched his toys away. "Who are you? Put my little sister down."

"Who are you? This is my sister!"

Zhou Xiang just found it funny to see two tall men fighting over his sister.

Patting his eldest brother on the shoulder, he said, "Alright, big brother, put me down."

Zhou Niao put her down and didn't allow her to leave his side.

Zhou Xiang's heart and eyes were filled with happy smiles. His elder brother was still the elder brother who loved and cared for his younger sister.

Zhou Xiang took his eldest brother's hand and walked over to Zhou Yizhou. "Brother, his name is Zhou Yizhou, he's 28 years old, and he recognized me as his sister, so we're all family. You should call him Brother Zhou, too."

He then introduced Zhou Yizhou, "This is my older brother, Zhou Niao. He's 20 years old this year, but he's seven years old at heart."

Zhou Xiang didn't mind letting Zhou Yizhou know, so that he wouldn't accidentally hurt his elder brother with his words later. Deputy Mayor Zhou must have his own investigation materials.

Zhou Yizhou's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that his elder brother Zhou Xiang, whom he had never met, was actually a mentally retarded person.

When I spoke to Zhou at that time, I felt that my younger sister had too heavy a burden on her shoulders. I didn't expect it to be so heavy.
