CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 201: ENRICHING THE SPACE

Xinyan ate while asking, "Brother He, was this trip smooth?"

He Jinxuan nodded, "Quite smooth."

Not only did he complete the factory’s tasks, he also contacted the cotton mill for some transport jobs before setting out. The factory benefited from this, and he and the transport team also gained benefits, mutually advantageous.

Moreover, on this trip, he managed to do everything he wanted to do himself, and from this trip alone, he can earn quite a bit, which only Xiao Li knows about, naturally ensuring him a share of the benefits.

Thinking about the things brought back, he said, "I brought back a lot of tea seeds for you, see if they are what you wanted. As for fruits, many haven’t ripened yet at this season, so I only brought some available in the market. Later, I’ll ask someone to bring you other fruits."

With these, Xinyan was already very happy, "No need to trouble others, I’m just saying."

He Jinxuan thought of the spoiled bayberries, "I had originally brought some bayberries for you, but unfortunately, the weather was too hot, and they were all spoiled when I got back."

Xinyan didn’t mind them being spoiled, she only needed the seeds anyway.

In a hurry to see the tea seeds and fruits, she urged everyone to quickly finish their meals.

After the meal and tidying up, He Jinxuan opened the things he brought back one by one, seeing Xinyan’s eyes light up. Seeing her expression made him feel his exhaustion was worth it, especially since he had gone to many places searching for those tea seeds.

Amid her joy, Xinyan didn’t forget to ask, "What about those spoiled bayberries?"

He Jinxuan explained, "They can’t be eaten, I threw them away."

Xinyan got anxious, "Where did you throw them?"

Not knowing why she asked, He Jinxuan replied honestly, "Beside the garbage dump outside the residential area, those bayberries couldn’t take a bump, I was just trying my luck."

He pointed at the other fruits he brought back, "These kinds aren’t found around here, cherries and strawberries were encountered when passing through Mountain Province, you should try them all."

Once again, Xinyan looked at the lychees, cherries, strawberries in the box, and the durian in the bag beside it, "Thank you, Brother He, these must have cost a lot, right?"

Fearing Xinyan would insist on repaying him, He Jinxuan said, "They didn’t cost much, and you’ve worked hard taking care of Sili and Siyan these days too. Sending you some fruits, you wouldn’t still want to be polite with me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xinyan didn’t insist further, directly thanking him, "Then I’ll shamelessly accept them."

Suddenly Little Siyan spoke up, "Uncle, what’s that smell, so stinky?"

He Jinxuan had forgotten the durian’s smell, hurriedly telling Xinyan, "This durian has a strong smell, be careful when you eat it."

Xinyan nodded with a smile, although durian was expensive, she had seen a lot of it in the club in her past life, naturally understanding.

Washing some lychees, cherries, and strawberries, the four of them tasted them together, each with a smile, finding the fruits really delicious, though the durian, despite tasting good, truly had an overpowering smell.

He Jinxuan shared some Southern pastries he brought back with Xinyan, then took his share, leading his two nephews away.

The team had been on the road for days, truly a bit tired.

After they left, Xinyan slipped out, directly heading to the garbage dump where He Jinxuan had thrown the bayberries. Seeing no one around, she quickly found the items like a guilty thief, grabbed a few hurriedly back.

Back home, she quickly shut the door, took the items inside, and went into the space.

Thinking about having endless cherries, lychees, durians, bayberries, and strawberries in the future, she didn’t want to delay any longer and quickly started working.

After busying for half a day, she finally planted bayberries, durians, lychees, cherries in the empty spots on the hillside, and planted strawberries nearby, feeling extremely delighted.

As for those tea seeds, honestly, even she couldn’t tell them apart without the names written on them. Even He Jinxuan wouldn’t know those tea seeds’ types now. Due to limited space, Xinyan planted two seeds of each kind.

After watering them with stream water, she washed her hands and returned to the bamboo house.

Starting tomorrow, she’ll be learning traditional characters from Uncle Zhang, she needs to prepare well.
