As soon as Cheng Yue finished speaking, the oxcart swayed and bumped its way to Qingshan Village.
A group of people had gathered at the village entrance. Cheng's father and Wu looked around, suppressing their surprise. "We'll talk about it when we get home."
My daughter isn't joking with them, is she? It's so cold in winter that your ears can freeze off, and it can even make you stupid. Forget about vegetables, you can't even see a green plant in this freezing weather.
Vegetables only grow when the weather is warm, how can they sprout in cold weather?
But my daughter has so many ideas now, and she can do whatever she wants. You can't be joking, can you?
Chen An was also very curious. He didn't doubt Cheng Yue's words at all, mainly because he knew that Cheng Yue had a treasure and could definitely do whatever she wanted!
Even his parents-in-law didn't know about this baby. Chen An was secretly delighted. It seemed that A Yue already regarded him as her closest person. He no longer needed to envy his parents-in-law's relationship!
Just when Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu were racking their brains, the oxcart finally arrived at their doorstep.
Wu quickly jumped off the oxcart and pulled Cheng Yue into the yard: "Girl, tell me quickly, how do we grow vegetables in winter!"
While it's still early, we need to get our daughter to tell them quickly. Otherwise, if she goes home halfway through the conversation, they'll have a hard time to sleep at night. Who can sleep with something on their mind?
Mr. Cheng also stared wide-eyed, both curious and anxious.
Cheng Yang came out of the kitchen and said happily, "Father, Mother, Little Sister, Brother-in-law, you're back!"
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu glared at each other and said in unison, "Don't say anything yet!"
This child is wasting time!
Cheng Yang: "..."
What did he do to deserve this?!
Cheng Yue said helplessly, "Dad, Mom, there's no rush. Let me explain things to you before we go home!"
He then said to Cheng Yang, "Brother, I want to talk about growing vegetables in winter. You can ask Xiao Feng to come and listen."
I feel that Cheng Feng prefers farming, so he'll definitely be interested.
As for Cheng Yang and Liu Shi, it's certain that they'll be doing business together, so whether they listen or not doesn't really matter.
"What?!" Cheng Yang's mouth dropped open. Was there something wrong with his ears?
"Auntie, I'm here! Dad, please go inside and help Mom!"
Cheng Feng had already heard the commotion, and upon hearing these words, he rushed out without thinking. Farming in winter, it's amazing!
Cheng Yang: "..."
Good, good! He's even bossing his son around now, and he blames everything on him!
He wanted to listen too, but he couldn't afford to delay his business, so he could only reluctantly go into the kitchen.
Forget it, let him ask his parents later!
Ignoring his father's murderous glare, Cheng Feng looked at Cheng Yue with curiosity and asked, "Auntie, can you really grow vegetables in winter?"
Cheng Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Of course you can! Under what circumstances would vegetables sprout?"
Cheng Feng immediately said, "It must be because the weather is getting warmer!"
The next moment, he frowned and said, "But it's so cold in winter, and there's nowhere warm to go!"
Mr. Cheng chimed in, "No, it's just warm inside!"
Although their family was so poor that they could only afford to burn firewood and the house was cold, it was still considered warm compared to the freezing weather outside.
After Mr. Cheng finished speaking, he suddenly had a vague idea of what his daughter meant.
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "That's right. People don't get cold because they have houses to keep warm, and the same principle applies to vegetables."
Mrs. Wu exclaimed, "So you're going to build houses for the vegetables? People can't even afford to build houses, how can vegetables afford to live in them?"
They've lived in these houses for over ten years, and they haven't built new ones. Is it because they don't want to, or because they can't afford to?
If we can't even afford a new house for ourselves, how can we afford to build houses for vegetables?
Mr. Cheng thought to himself, "That's exactly what I was thinking. But my wife is right, where would we get the money to build a house?"
Knowing they would say that, Cheng Yue could only slowly reply, "Building houses for vegetables doesn't need to be fancy; it won't cost much money."
And even if it's really impossible to build it, that's just a current problem, not a problem that it will never be possible.
We can't just jump into things without planning; we need to plan ahead. That's the idea I have, and we'll definitely implement it step by step!
Building a vegetable greenhouse isn't difficult; she can do it right now. It's just that there are too many things to do, and she can't bite off more than she can chew. She'll sort out her tasks one by one before moving on.
She hadn't planned to say this now, but it was just a matter of time before she started, and once she started, she was bound to finish.
Cheng Yue's words reassured Cheng's father and Wu Shi. "That's true. We were too hasty. Growing vegetables in winter is inherently difficult and can't be accomplished overnight!"
They all knew in their hearts that if vegetables could really be grown in winter, it would be a tremendous achievement, and its value was self-evident. Such a thing had to be planned slowly.
Moreover, my daughter is right. Just because they don't have money now doesn't mean they won't have money in the future. They will earn it eventually. What's valuable is this kind of thinking.
My daughter isn't one to make empty promises; if she says something, she'll definitely do it. They just need to wait and see.
Cheng Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Auntie, even if we build a house, it won't work. How can vegetables grow if they don't get sunlight?"
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu were taken aback. It was true. They were so excited that they hadn't thought of this question.
If you want to see the sun, unless your house has no roof or only one wall, how can it stay warm?
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Xiao Feng is quick-witted! So this house must be different from the ones people live in. We must let the sun shine in."
There is a way to replace the roof; you just need to find something that doesn't let in wind or rain, but also keeps you warm and doesn't block out the light.
I have some ideas, but I'm not sure if they're feasible yet. I'll let you know once I'm sure!
Madam Wu scolded playfully, "You silly girl, you're keeping me in suspense!"
However, since they already knew what their daughter was thinking, they weren't losing sleep over it.
Since she said there's a way, then there is a way. They'll just wait for news.
Cheng Yue touched her nose. "Dad, Mom, let's think about when to stop the pork stall. We can go gather medicinal herbs or grow vegetables at home."
"Rest and recover now, you two need to get some rest and get better, because we have big things to do with our daughter later!"
Madam Wu laughed and scolded, "It's not even certain yet, and you've already arranged for your father and me to do something big!"
Cheng Yue smiled but remained silent. Wasn't that just a matter of time?
However, after thinking about it, Ms. Wu said, "Let's do it in the next couple of days. The people who buy meat are all regular customers. I'll tell them that we should close down if necessary."
Mr. Cheng had no objection and nodded in agreement. Cheng Yue said, "You can decide for yourselves. Father and Mother, we'll head back now. I'll come over if anything comes up!"
As for plans for my father, let's talk about that later...
After all, just the thought of growing vegetables in winter is enough to keep them thinking for a while, and they might not be able to process too much information.
"Okay, let's go back, it'll be dark soon."
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu quickly got up, and Cheng Feng, clearly perceptive, led the oxcart to the door.
"Auntie, Uncle, please drive carefully!"
"Okay, let's go back!"
Cheng Yang and Liu Shi had just finished their work when they rushed out, saying, "We didn't even have time to say goodbye before we had to leave again!"
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "We might come again in a couple of days, but we're afraid you'll find it annoying!"
After the family exchanged a few more words, Cheng Yue and the others drove the oxcart away.
They had no idea that just one day outside had caused such a huge uproar in the village...
