Chapter 24 Fruit Tree Saplings



Ever since that gathering, Bi Qiaoan was detained at home by Shen Yanming and was not allowed to go out.

"Chen Yanming, just let me go out for a walk. I haven't been out for a week." Bi Qiaoan hugged Chen Yanming's arm and kept rubbing it.

"No, you're just one step away. Study hard!" Shen Yanming smiled and touched Bi Qiaoan's little head, but he did not compromise at all.

"I'll just go out for a walk, just once, okay? Honey, my written test scores are so good, I can easily win the interview!" Bi Qiaoan calculated that as long as nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to pass the interview in a casual manner.

"Qiao An, you can't have this kind of mentality. There are always people better than you, and none of us can tell how many points the second place got, right?

Qiao An, we all know how important this matter is! "Shen Yanming's tone suddenly became serious. He must put an end to Qiao An's playful mentality from the source.

"I know, I know, I'm just talking." Bi Qiaoan felt a little aggrieved, let go of Shen Yanming and turned back to the guest room.

Shen Yanming looked at the closed door and felt a little reluctant.

"I'll take you out tomorrow, but you have to study hard when you come back, and you're not allowed to go out again before the interview." Shen Yanming finally compromised, knocked on the door, and shouted through it.

"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan answered through the door.

Seeing that Bi Qiaoan didn't come out, Shen Yanming didn't stay any longer. He made a few phone calls and then left.

The next morning, Shen Yanming set out with Bi Qiaoan, who was fully armed.

First, I went to the car rental company and drove the van I rented the day before, and then headed to the suburban orchard that I had contacted before.

“Today we are going to the orchard to harvest some fruit trees.” On the way, Shen Yanming explained to Bi Qiaoan.

"Well, it's good to plant fruit trees in space. At the end of the world, the output of fruits and grains has decreased rapidly, and fruits have gradually become a luxury. In my previous life, I didn't eat fruit for more than two years."

After one night, Bi Qiaoan was no longer angry. She knew that Shen Yanming was doing this for her own good. "We can grow vegetables indoors and farm outdoors. We can plant fruit trees in the space and it won't attract attention."

Two hours later, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan arrived at their destination, found the orchard owner, and explained their purpose.

"To be honest, I really don't want to sell the tree to you. Look, it's bearing fruit. If I grow it myself, I can make some income every year." Boss Lin led Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan into the orchard, muttering along the way.

"Tourists can come and pick fruits here. The cherry season has passed this year, but peaches are just coming on the market. Apples are still green and edible but sour. They will be ripe in two months..."

Shen Yanming listened to Boss Lin talking all the way and smiled, "Boss Lin, are you not satisfied with the price?"

Boss Lin was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I'm satisfied with the price, but I'm a little reluctant to part with the trees after raising them for so many years. Occasionally, people come to buy trees from me, saying they want to plant them in their villas or yards for a view, but few people can grow them well, and most of them die. I feel bad for them!"

"Don't worry, we will take good care of these trees!" Bi Qiaoan nodded after hearing this. She felt that Boss Lin was a person who really loved this business and she admired him very much.

"In fact, Boss Lin can find us some young trees that can just bear fruit. We will also plant a villa and take care of them slowly." Shen Yanming said to Boss Lin with a smile.

Shen Yanming also felt that those fruit trees that were older and produced a large amount of fruit were difficult to dig and transport, so it would be better to choose those that had just borne fruit. With Bi Qiaoan's space to keep them, he wouldn't have to worry about these trees not bearing fruit in the future.

After hearing this, Boss Lin rubbed his hands excitedly, "Are you serious? Thank you so much! I have been running an orchard for so many years, and I cultivate saplings every year. It takes several years for these saplings to bear fruit. This year, there happened to be a batch that can bear fruit, but not many, hehe."

Shen Yanming nodded, "Well, boss, just pick some that are free of pests and diseases for us."

Boss Lin took Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan through the orchard, constantly introducing them to the varieties of fruit trees and how to manage and maintain them. Boss Lin took off the red ribbon from his wrist and tied it to the fruit tree chosen by Shen Yanming.

In the end, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan bought three apple trees, three pear trees, five cherry trees, two pomegranate trees, two walnut trees, one jujube tree, one apricot tree, and one fig tree from Boss Lin. It sounds like a lot, but in fact, it was just one tree of each variety.

Even though they bought only small saplings, the mini truck that Shen Yanming rented couldn't hold them all. After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan filled the car, they drove towards the countryside.

An hour later, the two drove to the foot of a mountain. There were few people here. After Shen Yanming got out of the car to observe the environment, he nodded to Bi Qiaoan. Bi Qiaoan climbed into the car and quickly put the sapling into the space.

Afterwards, the two sat in the car, and Shen Yanming took out two box lunches from the space. After they finished quickly, they drove back to the orchard.

Shen Yanming asked Boss Lin's people to help move the remaining saplings to the car, and then ordered a few boxes of fruit from Boss Lin and asked Boss Lin to help pick some fresh ones.

Chen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan and drove to the foot of the mountain again. After storing all the saplings in the space, the two returned to the orchard again.

Boss Lin had already prepared everything Shen Yanming wanted, five boxes of peaches and one box of red dates. To thank Shen Yanming for taking care of his business, Boss Lin also gave Shen Yanming a bag of seeds, which contained watermelon, melon, passion fruit, cherry tomatoes, etc., packed in small plastic bags and labeled.

Shen Yanming and Boss Lin expressed their gratitude and then left.

It was already getting dark. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were driving back. When they passed by a farm tool store, they stopped and bought a set of farm tools.

When he returned to the rental car company, it was already completely dark. Shen Yanming quickly returned the car, moved the six boxes of fruit and a set of farm tools in the car to his own car, and drove back to Qingyu Community.

There were quite a lot of stuff, so Shen Yanming drove the car to the garage and called two young security guards from the community to help. The four of them moved all the stuff back to 1602 in just one trip.

The two security guards delivered several boxes of fruits to the door of 1602 and were about to leave. Bi Qiaoan quickly stopped them, took out two plastic bags from the cupboard, filled the bags with a dozen peaches, and then gave one to each of the security guards.

The young security guards were very happy but they did not dare to accept the offer. After all, they often worked for others in this high-end residential area and few people would give them gifts. Moreover, the two young men felt that they had only helped a small favor and were embarrassed to take so much reward.

"Take it, it's not something valuable." Shen Yanming stuffed the bag into the two people's hands, smiled gently and nodded to them.

The two did not refuse and took the initiative to tell Shen Yanming their names. They also said that if he needed anything in the future, he could call them and they would be there at his beck and call.

Shen Yanming smiled and said he understood, and waited until the two entered the elevator before turning around and entering the room.
