Chapter 47 : I've always wanted to see the outside world.
When the mutated mantis was sent to an external laboratory for dissection, Li Shaofan was convinced that the research maniacs in the laboratory would go crazy about it. They may achieve world-shocking results, but Li Shaofan knows that even if they develop scientific and technological achievements that keep people young forever, the impact may not be positive. Some people may be overexcited and even unable to withstand the blow. More importantly, he believed that man's destiny was preordained, that life and death were natural, and that if man lived forever, the world would become crowded.
He gently put down the mantis in his hand and turned his eyes to the pomegranate tree full of fruits. He had thought of selling all his pomegranates at once, but reason told him that such an action might cause panic. He decided to avoid Liu Zihan when selling pomegranates, lest she discover the secret. He knew that these pomegranates were of high quality and, if marketed correctly, would fetch a good price.
Li Shaofan also thought that if his classmates knew that he had become a small rich man, they would certainly envy him. He was determined to make them regret it when they graduated. Then he retreated back to reality, only to find his mother and Liu Zihan watching the romance drama with great interest. This confused him because his mother didn't like such TV shows before.
He began to think about the significance of this change, perhaps it was just a temporary interest of his mother, perhaps she was just relaxing. In any case, he knew he needed to adapt to this new situation and find new ways to get along with his mother and Liu Zihan. "Mom, I saw you go out to play poker. Why are you back so soon? It doesn't seem to be time yet. Li Shaofan glanced at the clock on the wall and asked with some confusion.
"Your third aunt's sow has given birth to piglets, and she's anxious to go back and have a look. We had nothing to do, so we came back together. "Li mother smiled and explained, then suddenly put on a reproach look," also, Zihan came to our house to play, but you are sleeping there, this way? What did I teach you? "
"Mom, I really can't see those things," Li Shaofan seemed helpless,"I'm worried I can't help but smash the computer. You know I don't like to see these things. I'd rather see the animal world. "
"You'll like it slowly," Li's mother glared at Li Shaofan and said firmly,"starting tonight, you have to watch idol dramas every night. If you don't, I'll kill you. "
"Auntie, in fact, they are all boys, do not like this type of thing," Liu Zihan explained with a smile,"I also have nothing to do to see, really busy, who has time to see ah. "
"Listen, how sensible people Zihan ah, you boy really should learn. "Li's mother joked.
"By the way, Ma, I've got a day's work to do in the fields, and I'm going downtown tomorrow. "Li Shaofan decided to finish things early, lest he keep thinking about it.
"Downtown? What are you doing there in the heat? "Li mother looked at him questioningly," can you tell me what you want to do? "Maybe I can buy something. I'm free anyway. Mom, let me go out." Li Shaofan smiled and made a request to his mother.
"Can't we go to the county? Do you think the county is too small?" Mrs. Li glanced at him, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.
Li Shaofan was speechless. His mother's imagination was too rich. "Mom, I want to investigate the market situation. If the sales of our vegetables are good, we should certainly consider expanding the market. Do we only want to sell in small towns? You can't make a lot of money that way."
"Is there anything different?" Mother Li asked curiously.
"Of course it's different. Our family has been growing apples for many years. You should understand why." Li Shaofan explained patiently," The things there are definitely more expensive than ours. If we can open up the market there, we can sell them for more money."
"Hmm, this is a good idea." Mrs. Li nodded in agreement." You can go, but you have to bring Zihan along. I can rest assured that the two of you have a companion."
"Mom?" Li Shaofan was pleasantly surprised. He was worried about how to speak to Liu Zihan, but he didn't expect his mother to speak for him. "But will Zihan be willing to go with me? Moreover, it's not easy to explain to Aunt Liu."
"Zihan is going to work at our house in the future. This is a good opportunity for her to familiarize herself with the market. How can you have an opinion?" Mother Li glared at him.
Li Shaofan looked at Liu Zihan and said nervously,"I want to take Zihan, but I don't know if she wants to go with me." How embarrassing it would be if she refused."
"Zihan, go home and talk to your mother. See if she agrees with you going out." Mother Li smiled and said to Liu Zihan. In front of Widow Liu, Li Shaofan seemed a little nervous, as if he was worried that she would reject him. "Let's go. I'll take you there myself. It's better to settle this matter as soon as possible." He said firmly. Then he took Liu Zihan's hand without hesitation and walked away firmly.
Looking at their backs, Li Shaofan's mother was shocked. What happened to this child today? He was actually so decisive. Did he really want Liu Zihan to become his daughter-in-law? Liu Zihan is a good girl, beautiful, gentle, careful, with the simplicity of a farm girl.
Taking advantage of his mother's absence, Li Shaofan quickly prepared space water for the two pets. Big Black and Leopard drank it all and immediately became active. They even started to play. Li Shaofan shook his head helplessly. These two little fellows were always so naughty in front of him. Is it because they want to show their cutest side in front of beautiful women?
"You two little fellows, behave yourselves in the future and don't cause trouble for me. Otherwise, I'll skin you and stew dog meat." He warned with a straight face.
However, the two puppies didn't seem to understand what he meant. They were still wrapped around his trouser legs, eager for more water. Li Shaofan shook his head helplessly." You little fellows, I really can't do anything to you." He smiled bitterly. In his spare time, Li Shaofan began to explore the world of games. He quickly became addicted to it. Feeling the intense confrontation on the virtual battlefield, his blood boiled. Perhaps this is also the reason why many players are obsessed with games.
Liu Zihan's home, a warm and simple place. Widow Liu looked at her daughter and asked softly,"Zihan, do you really want to go to the city to have a look?" You've never been this far from home."
Liu Zihan nodded firmly: "Yes, mother." I've always wanted to see the outside world. I heard that the city is more prosperous than our county."
Mother Li also joined the conversation: "Big sister, children should have the courage to wander." When you are young, you should go out more often. When we get older, we'll have too many worries and ties to be free like we are now."
Liu Zihan looked at her mother with anticipation in her eyes: "Mom, I really want to see it." Brother Shaofan stayed in the provincial capital before, he will take care of me."
Widow Liu sighed softly. Looking at her daughter's eager eyes, she turned to Mother Li and said," Eldest sister-in-law, please come with me." The two of them walked into the back room and had a private conversation.
Liu Zihan stared curiously at the closed door, and various possible scenarios flashed through her mind. She was really eager to visit the city and experience its prosperity.
Five minutes later, Mrs. Li walked out with a smile on her face. She looked at Liu Zihan with admiration in her eyes. Then she left satisfied.
Liu Zihan asked curiously,"Mom, what did you talk about in the house?"
Widow Liu smiled and replied," It's nothing. It's all adult matters." "Then visit him tomorrow, and I have asked your aunt to instruct him to take good care of you. ".
After Liu Zihan heard this, she frowned slightly and replied unhappily," I'm not a child. Why do I need so much attention?"
