Zhang Zhaoci said, "Oh my, how could you bear to do that? Last time, I wanted to eat a tomato but you wouldn't even give me one. You're so stingy. I even gave you the money to buy things. It made me so angry."
Xu Di said, "My dear mother, what am I doing this for? It's so that I can save up more seeds so that we can plant them on a large scale later. Just wait, I'll let you eat fresh vegetables during the New Year, and next spring, I'll plant them on the estate, and I'll let you eat your fill, okay?"

Xu Di and Zhang Zhaoci listened attentively to Xu Rao's words. Even Xu Zhiye looked at her father with her round, almond-shaped eyes. Xu Zhiye was filled with admiration when she heard Xu Rao's words. She realized that her father was such a thoughtful and capable person. Fortunately, she was able to start over and be with her parents and brother.
