Chapter 154 Uncle Liao is going on a long journey
"Auntie, we want the same tomatoes as Xiaoyu."
"I want one too. Give me 3 jin."
"Potatoes are good too. I'll take two pounds."
"The ketchup and potato tarts that Xiaoyu made in the video look delicious."
"Buy more and follow the video when you get home."
From the discussion among the young people, Aunt Wu learned that the girl who came to buy a lot of vegetables in the morning was a very popular food blogger on the Internet. She had three million fans and was very popular. Most of these people came because they watched her videos and were recommended by her.
It’s just that there were too many people coming, and the dishes Aunt Wu brought were obviously not enough to share.
The neatly arranged tomatoes on the stall were quickly sold out, but the queue remained long.
"Auntie, are there really no more tomatoes? We took the bus here specially, but we didn't expect them to sell out so quickly."
"Auntie, will you come tomorrow? When will you arrive? We'll come early."
"Children, I still have some at home, but Auntie has to go back to get them, and it will take a long time to go back and forth."
"Don't wait, go to other stalls, they have a lot more variety over there."
"Auntie, we'll be waiting for you to bring it back so we can buy your vegetables. We're here now and don't want to go back empty-handed."
"We just want the same dish as Xiaoyu, so I even use the same pots, pans, seasonings, oil and salt as Xiaoyu. I don't believe that I will fail if I follow the video."
"But, Auntie doesn't have a car, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth."
Aunt Wu patiently advised: "Why don't you come back tomorrow and I'll bring more tomorrow."
"Don't worry, your car is coming!"
Lao Fu made a grand appearance on his tricycle and stopped the car with a handsome drift.
He went home specially to send his third uncle home and changed to his own precious tricycle to come here.
"Big sister, I'm here to help. Leave any work to me."
Aunt Wu's eyes lit up when she saw someone helping her. She then thought seriously: "The two of us are not enough. One person needs to watch the stall, pick the fruits, put them in baskets, and then transport them here."
"Big sister, how many vegetables do you grow at home? Two people are not enough. Do you need so many people?"
"Not much, not much, just a little over an acre."
Old Fu's eyes widened. "No wonder you got full marks in the planting class. You can grow an acre of vegetables by yourself. The small experimental field in the school is a piece of cake for you."
One acre of land is not large for farmers, but Aunt Wu grows the crops for her own consumption. If she doesn’t give them away, her family won’t be able to finish them all.
Old Fu was surprised and counted on his fingers: "One person will watch the stall, two people will go back to pick vegetables, and if it's not enough, add another person."
"Big sister, wait a minute. I'll find someone to look after the stall for you." Old Fu said as he called out his good brother Uncle Li who was taking a nap.
Uncle Li thought he was being asked to pick vegetables, and excitedly brought a basket from home.
Unexpectedly, the two men got on the tricycle and left without looking back. The basket was also taken away, leaving Uncle Li alone to face the remaining vegetables on the stall and the people buying vegetables.
"You want chili peppers? Wait a minute, let me think about how much she said a pound of chili peppers cost?"
……
Old Fu took Aunt Wu all the way to Aunt Wu's house at lightning speed.
Aunt Wu's home is in a village in the suburbs. As soon as he got off the car, Lao Fu found that his imagination was still too limited. Aunt Wu's one-acre vegetable field was right at the doorstep.
There are all kinds of vegetables grown, and they are all grown in greenhouses, which creates a unique scene.
The vegetables are distributed in their respective areas, growing well, the seedlings are bright green, and are full of heavy fruits in large quantities.
Lao Fu was shocked: "That's too much. I don't even dare to plant so many in QQ Farm."
Aunt Wu's husband was already working hard, sweating profusely. "You are really hardworking. You are not idle even during the holidays. I really helped you get a big order."
After receiving the call, Aunt Wu’s husband rushed home to pick tomatoes.
The old couple, one grows vegetables and the other raises chickens. Both of them are busy and always like to complain about the other's fuss.
When Old Fu heard that their family also had a chicken farm, his mouth opened even wider, "No wonder you are a couple, even your hobbies are so similar."
"Big sister, after the new year, let your husband go to our school. Maybe we can develop a breeding class and help Principal Lin add a course."
……
Old Fu, who is on vacation at home, is concerned about the development of the school, while Uncle Liao, who lives in the school, yearns for distant places.
He packed his bags alone and prepared to sail away.
Lin Qinglan was discussing with Aunt Xie where to go for the holidays. When she asked Uncle Liao, he said he would not go with them.
"Principal Xiaolin, I plan to ride to Tibet by myself."
Uncle Liao was cleaning his bicycle diligently, and he was full of longing: "I have had this idea for a long time. I have heard people say that Tibet is the place closest to the sky."
“Even if I can’t ride anywhere in the end, I still want to give it a try.”
"If I don't go and have a look now, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go there in the future. I want to go further while I can still ride."
Uncle Liao started preparing for this cycling trip a long time ago. He understood the dangers along the way and knew that the further west he went, the higher the altitude would be, and he might even experience altitude sickness and difficulty breathing.
So he insisted on riding his bike every day, slowly increasing the mileage he rode and making a physical training plan for himself so that he could persist for a certain distance.
He decided to go because his son had been stationed in Tibet, and he wanted to go back on behalf of his son and let him see the scenery along the way.
Starting from Tibet, he walked the same path his son once walked.
Uncle Liao had made up his mind. Lin Qinglan knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she quietly helped him prepare protective gear and medicine, taught him how to use the emergency call on his cell phone, and prayed that Uncle Liao would be safe on the journey.
But the journey is too long, and he doesn’t know if he can make it back in time for the New Year.
Uncle Liao, who is very active, left as soon as he said he would. Before dawn, he had already left quietly.
After breakfast, Lin Qinglan and Aunt Xie went to pick new vegetables in the vegetable garden in the back garden. Xiaojing and his wife, who managed the vegetable garden before the holiday, had picked most of the vegetables and distributed them to the teachers and uncles and aunts. The remaining small portion was enough for Lin Qinglan and Aunt Xie to pick and eat during the holiday.
In a flash, Lin Qinglan suddenly remembered that Aunt Xie had lived in a black-hearted nursing home before.
No wonder she always felt that the name "Golden Sunshine" sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
It was apparently a very sunny and bright name, but she felt a chill when she thought of it and had a very bad impression of it.
If Jin Yangguang is really the nursing home where Aunt Xie stayed, then there must be something wrong with its interior.
But Lin Qinglan didn’t know how to ask.
After all, the time she spent in the nursing home was not a good memory for Aunt Xie. If she asked again, it would be like asking Aunt Xie to open up her own scars.
