"The fruits of the sunflower are the roasted melon seeds we usually eat. It's a pity that they are still two months away from being ripe and ready for harvest, otherwise A-Yun could have seen them with her own eyes."

"Melon seeds?" Princess Fu'an asked in surprise. "The kind of dried fruit melon seeds that're served with tea?"

"Yes, but these sunflower seeds are slightly different from others."

Princess Fu'an opened her eyes wide, a sudden surge of interest and curiosity appearing in them.

"The sunflower seeds actually grow from the flowers."

She couldn't imagine where such tiny melon seeds would grow.

Is it at the root, or hanging on the stem like ears of wheat?

Then we learned that the seeds grow in the heart of the flower, just like the lotus seeds in a lotus pod.

My curiosity grew even stronger.

It's a pity that it took too long, otherwise she really wanted to stay and wait to see what the melon seeds looked like when they matured and how to harvest them.

Zhuangzi is neither too big nor too small.

Yun Zhiyi didn't actually take anyone to every corner.

After passing the main attractions, we ended up in the farmland behind the mountain.

I mainly wanted to take a walk in the woods behind the mountain.

I'll pick a basket of strawberries to take home and eat later.

This batch of strawberries is the last batch this year.

They can hang in the ground for a while longer, so they weren't picked immediately.

There are still quite a few in the field.

All the watermelons have been picked and stored in the warehouse to prevent them from overripe and cracking.

The watermelon fields have been cleared out and temporarily planted with short-term vegetables suitable for autumn and winter.

Other vegetables that are just reaching maturity, such as pumpkins, winter melons, and green beans, are still growing in the field.

The rest of the land was basically planted with new vegetables.

So now the fields look a tender green, not as lush and verdant as before, and they look quite ordinary.

In addition, the strawberries are on the other side, so they can't be seen at all.

So Princess Fu'an only glanced at it and didn't pay much attention. She followed her carefully around the country path and walked towards the back gate.

Suddenly, Princess Fu'an stopped in her tracks.

I wasn't paying attention to my footing and almost fell.

The maid quickly reached out to support him.

"Princess, be careful."

Yun Zhiyi also turned to look.

She stared wide-eyed at something, turning her head to look at it.

She turned her head to look and couldn't help but click her tongue.

At that moment, a person was half-squatting in the field to the side.

He was holding a huge, dark green winter melon in his hands.

This winter melon is really big, and it's long and thin. It looks like it weighs at least 30 pounds.

The man had his back to the entrance of the farmland, and he was wearing ordinary coarse cloth short clothes.

So, not getting up to greet Yun Zhiyi with the others wouldn't attract attention.

Yun Zhiyi did notice, but to avoid startling Princess Fu'an again, she neither reminded her nor took the initiative to greet her.

But when we got to the back door, the angle changed.

The other party happened to be carrying a winter melon that looked similar to a watermelon but was also quite strange, which inevitably caught Princess Fu'an's attention.

Turning my head, I naturally saw the other person's appearance.

If it weren't for Fu Tingchen, whom I had met earlier.

With just a quick glance, Princess Fu'an would probably think she was mistaken, or that they just looked alike.

With the example of Prince Cheng before her, her first thought was to confirm the other party's identity.

But who can tell her why the retired emperor is also in the manor?

They were dressed like ordinary farmers, squatting in the field picking melons.

Princess Fu'an was completely stunned, her mind went blank, and she couldn't think of anything.

This scene is even more exciting than encountering Fu Tingchen.

Compared to Prince Cheng, whom she rarely saw, Princess Fu'an was much more familiar with her maternal grandfather.

When she was a child, she had just entered the palace and was taught by him for a period of time.

Moreover, although the other party and the Empress Dowager only treated each other with polite respect, the other party showed sufficient respect to the Empress Dowager.

Even though he rarely appeared in the palace after his abdication, he would still return on some important days each year and have a meal with the Empress Dowager.

Princess Fu'an would then accompany them, and naturally become even more familiar with this person.

Therefore, she was able to immediately confirm that she hadn't mistaken the person.

It was just that she found it hard to believe.

Fu Yuanbo also looked up at them, then got up and walked over, dragging the winter melon in his hand.

Princess Fu'an's gaze followed his movements blankly.

Until the other person walked up to me and said something.

"Fu'an, I didn't expect you to come here."

Princess Fu'an seemed to awaken from a dream and instinctively reached out to bow.

"I've met you in Fu'an..."

“Hey, we don’t need to use the palace formalities here. Just call him maternal grandfather.”

After saying that, he looked at Yun Zhiyi, who was watching the show with amusement.

"Boss, this winter melon looks ripe. May I buy one?"

Fu Yuanbo had his eye on the winter melons ever since he learned they were ripe and ready to be harvested in the next few days.

Even though Yun Zhiyi said that winter melon is different from watermelon and is not suitable for eating raw, but is more suitable for cooking.

He still keeps an eye on it every day.

The main problem is that these winter melons look so much like black-skinned winter melons when they grow.

Anyone who sees it for the first time will think it's a cold melon.

Now he has tasted almost every kind of fruit and vegetable in the village.

The old man is already obsessed with opening blind boxes, and now all he's missing is the winter melon. He comes over to check on it every day.

Yun Zhiyi sighed helplessly, "It really isn't suitable to be eaten as a fruit."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Buy it if you want."

Every employee in the village has the right to make internal purchases, but each employee can only purchase a maximum of one hundred of each type of item per month.

Moreover, the price is the same as the retail price in vegetable shops.

So apart from this grandfather and grandson, no one else can use up their credit limit almost every day like them.
