Chapter 237 A sudden idea
The two walked forward for a while, and Song Mo saw that there was no one in front or behind, so he walked near the fence.
Wen Kexin was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that Song Mo wanted to jump in and steal the saplings when no one was around, so she hurried forward and grabbed the man's clothes and said, "Forget it..."
Song Mo turned around and looked at his young wife, then he smiled and said, "Look at how panicked you are. Don't think too much. Look at this——"
Wen Kexin looked in the direction Song Mo pointed and found two thin and inconspicuous fruit tree seedlings mixed in the weeds at the base of the fence.
Looking up, I found litchi branches sticking out from above the fence, and immediately understood the origin of these two fruit tree seedlings.
It should be that the ripe lychees fell to the ground, or the birds pecked at them, leaving the cores here and being buried by the wind and sand, and then growing back with the rain.
Maybe it grew from the roots of the fruit trees inside the fence.
Such saplings cannot grow big and no one pays attention to them.
Wen Kexin's eyes suddenly lit up. Her man was so smart that he actually came up with this good idea.
Wonderful, it’s really wonderful!
Her worried heart suddenly rushed into the sunlight. Before she reached out to pull the sapling, she saw Song Mo's big hand reaching out and pulling it down. After a moment, the sapling was in his hand.
He handed it over and whispered, "Let me do it, don't get your little hands dirty. Put it away quickly to avoid trouble!"
"Um!"
Wen Kexin understood that even such a worthless sapling would make some people jealous when they saw it.
They may even exaggerate small matters and make them into big ones, and put the big hat of digging someone's corner on you, which is really troublesome.
After looking around to see if there was anyone around, she took it and quickly threw it into the space.
Done!
I believe that even if someone saw them not far away, they would think that they were two young people walking and picked up something they dropped, and they would never guess what they were doing.
In this way, the two of them walked around the orchard excitedly.
After more than two hours, we found many young saplings.
Only more than twenty trees were pulled out selectively.
Although it is impossible to tell what species the saplings are, we can only guess what they are by looking at the tall mother tree inside the fence.
They believe that among these saplings there should be lychees, cherries, pomegranates, oranges, persimmons, etc. Although some of the fruit trees were not seen, these can be considered an unexpected harvest.
As the saying goes: Contentment is the greatest happiness.
If you haven’t seen it, you can collect it when you have the chance.
Noticing that the sun had set, Wen Kexin said contentedly, "Let's go back."
"OK!"
The two were about to leave hand in hand when suddenly an old man came hurriedly over. Seeing the two, he looked at them suspiciously and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"
They looked carefully and found that it was none other than the old man guarding the gate of the orchard.
Song Mo said frankly, "My wife wants to see what fruit trees there are in the orchard? And what the fruits look like on the branches?"
Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, the old man obviously didn't believe it.
Two hours have passed, really?
He looked over with suspicion, but found that the two men didn't even have a bag in their hands.
He grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
Wen Kexin said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa, it's boring for you to look at it every day. For us outsiders, we can never get enough of this scenery... Now we are tired of looking at it. We would leave even if you didn't tell us."
After saying that, he took Song Mo's big hand and left.
The old man held his breath, his eyes fixed on the two people's hands held together.
As if he had finally caught something wrong, he spat in dissatisfaction and said loudly with contempt: "It's immoral!"
Wen Kexin didn't want to offend the other party at first, but when she heard this, she became furious. She turned around and made a face that made her angry and said, "We are husband and wife. I almost fell down, and there was nothing wrong with my husband helping me up. You are meddling too much. Go ahead and sue me if you have the guts!"
The old man was not blind. He clearly saw that the young wife did not fall down at all. It was obvious that she did it on purpose.
No matter where he goes to sue, he can't win because the two of them are supporting each other.
After quickly figuring it out, he gasped angrily, almost turning into a puffer fish, and watched the young couple walk away.
Not to mention the old man's humiliation, the couple went back and found a state-owned restaurant to eat.
Wen Kexin grumbled unhappily as she ate, "The taste is far worse."
After telling Song Mo about the space, she felt relaxed and no longer had any worries.
Song Mo understood what this meant and whispered, "Be good, and eat some fruit to nourish yourself when you get back."
Wen Kexin nodded slightly and said, "Okay! Let's go see Grandpa first and then go back and bring him some fruit, okay?"
"Okay! Just say you bought it from the orchard through the back door."
"Um!"
Half an hour later, two people walked into the old man's ward carrying watermelons, grapes, apricots and peaches.
Seeing the two of them coming back exhausted, the old man said coldly, "Have you had enough fun?"
Wen Kexin could tell that her grandfather's tone was full of dissatisfaction, so she said coquettishly, "Grandpa, we didn't go out to play, we went to buy you some fruit."
The old man saw the two carrying a lot of fruit and asked in confusion, "Fruit? Do you have tickets?"
As expected, if you don’t have a fruit ticket, don’t even think about eating fruit!
"Grandpa, how can we have fruit tickets?"
He quickly found someone to blame, and said with a lot of nonsense: "Grandpa, we went to the orchard to find the old man who was the gatekeeper and bought it through the back door. We said three thousand six hundred, and Song Mo even secretly handed him a box of cigarettes... Look at these fruits, they are all freshly picked, so fresh and juicy, they must be delicious, what do you want to eat, Grandpa?"
The old man smiled with satisfaction and couldn't help but praise: "Good boy, I like everything I eat. By the way, I remember I had a few fruit tickets and forgot to give them to you."
As he spoke, the old man took out a wallet from under the pillow, took out a pile of bills and a stack of money and handed them to Wen Kexin.
"Put it away and buy whatever you want."
Wen Kexin thought Song Mo had issued a lot of tickets, but she found that the old man had even more tickets.
Considering my grandfather's status and position, it is normal to issue more tickets.
What she was curious about was: What did the fruit ticket look like?
When I took it, I quickly saw that there were a few fruit tickets on the top. Not only were they valid nationwide, they also had the words "special supply" written on them.
The key point is, is it okay for grandpa to accept so many high-end bills?
"Grandpa, is this too much?"
"You are my granddaughter, so just accept it if it's given to you."
Only then did Wen Kexin accept it with a guilty look on her face.
At this time, Song Mo diligently washed some grapes, apricots and peaches, and said earnestly: "Grandpa, try it!"
The old man tasted the grapes and his eyes lit up immediately, praising: "Delicious!"
"Try peaches and apricots again?"
The old man tasted it and his eyes narrowed immediately. "Thank you for your hard work. It tastes better than the ones in the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll buy some to take with me on the road when I go back in a few days."
"OK!"
Song Mo took the initiative to say, "Grandpa, I want to buy the train tickets tomorrow if I have nothing to do. Which day should I buy them for? How many people are there with you?"
"Don't worry about the tickets. There are three of us. Are there four of you?"
Wen Kexin suddenly thought, how did grandpa know that there were two more people on her side?
The old man has definitely never met Zhang Shan and Li Si. By the way, he said how did he know the address of his hometown when buying a train ticket.
She definitely didn't tell the old man.
Song Mo met the old man several times, but the old man never asked about this.
Although the war has stopped temporarily, the old man will definitely be very busy.
Why does he want to go back to his hometown with me? Is it really to recognize his granddaughter?
There aren't many people with the surname Wen.
A thought suddenly came to my mind: Could it be that the old man sent someone to investigate? Do you suspect that your father is his biological child?
