Zhang Fan's thoughtfulness instantly brought tears to Li Chunyan's eyes, and she was so moved that she almost cried: "Okay."
Because of the hot summer weather, Li Chunyan made appointments with people very early, otherwise the vegetables would dry out in the strong sun.
She ordered only cowpeas this time because the long drought caused leafy vegetables to scorch after a few days in the sun, while cowpeas only needed to be watered in the morning to thrive.
Fortunately, a well was dug in Zhangjiapo, which allowed vegetables such as cowpeas and cucumbers to thrive.
Aunt Pang and Zhang Tiegen also came to help. Zhang Tiegen's family had a scale for weighing pigs, which was perfect for weighing vegetables.
The agreed-upon location is at the village entrance, where centralized procurement will facilitate transportation.

Li Chunyan greeted them politely, "You've arrived very early. Let's start weighing now."
This scale is two meters long and requires two people to carry it on their shoulders, with the item to be weighed hanging in front and a third person placing the weights behind.
Zhang Fan bent down to lift the nearest basket and was about to hang it on the scale when a hand stopped him.
"Wait!"
Li Chunyan's smile instantly froze: "What's wrong?"
The man said matter-of-factly, "Before we weigh it, let's clarify the business."
Li Chunyan frowned: "Didn't we agree on the price yesterday? It'll be one yuan per jin, the market price."
Just then, a sharp voice rang out: "You're clearly trying to drive down the price."
Zhang Fan glanced to the side and saw, lo and behold, it was Bai Hong, the wife of his third brother, Zhang Dashan.
Bai Hong was from Baijia Village, and Zhang Dashan had married into the Bai family. It was mainly Bai Hong's idea to sell Zhang Fan.
They usually live in Baijia Village and never associate with people from Zhangjiapo. How did they end up here?
