Rebirth to the Eighties to Get Rich

Chapter 208: When the Cherries Are Ripe

ByMay, the strawberry season was coming to an end. Su Danhong used the remaining strawberries to make candied fruit for the children, and then it was over.

While strawberries were out of season, watermelons began to be sold.

By mid-May, the watermelons began to ripen.

Lao Qin came for some, and so did Su Jindang. The rest were all sold in the college town, where Uncle Gao and the others were all waiting.

Everyone enjoyed the last batch of the strawberry season. And now its the watermelon season m. These watermelons were really sweet!

Ji Jianyun's shop in the college town was really popular, especially among middle-aged and elderly people. They all loved to come here to do business.

The food was fresh, and the price was good. More importantly, they always felt strong after eating it.

As soon as Uncle Gao heard that Ji Jianyun had contracted the land and planted rice and other kinds of grains by himself, he immediately asked Ji Jianye to bring some to him. He wanted two hundred catties of rice.

Rice, meaning white rice that had gone through the milling process, was a lot for two hundred catties.

Ji Jianyun smiled and asked Ji Jianye to send a message to Uncle Gao. Two hundred catties was too much. He promised to give him fifty catties, and no more. He had to let others try it too, okay?

Uncle Gao didnt like him for being stingy. He came up with a compromise with Ji Jianyun of a hundred catties. It was not produced yet, but he had to reserve it first.

Watermelons were in peak season, and every day there was a load to the college town to sell them. Ji Jianyun was busy these days, so Ji Jianye delivered the watermelons to the college city and rushed back to drive to Jiangshui City to sell more.

There were a lot of watermelons produced every day, especially now that it was in peak season.

After a few days, the peak for watermelon had passed, and after that, there were only half a truck load every day. By the end of May, there were only a few small watermelons left. Ji Jianyun was going to save them to eat at home.

Once he was busy, he was not able to relax. After the watermelon, cherries would start to grow.

Aside from the first orchard producing cherries, the cherry trees in the second orchard were also producing cherries. The cherry trees in the second orchard produced less than the first orchard, but the number of cherry trees planted in the second orchard was more.

Mother Su and eldest Su sister-in-law were all invited by Ji Jianyun to help. It was not only Mother Su and eldest Su sister-in-law, but also some other people in Sujia village. Mother Su also asked her old sisters to help. Of course, she only asked those with clean hands and feet, and not any who would steal and play tricks. They were to work for her son-in-law. If the person who was asked to come here was shameless, where would her dignity go as his mother-in-law?

Also, Aunt Li also came to help. Aunt Li was Li Zhi's mother and Ji Yunyun's mother-in-law. As soon as she heard that the orchards were very busy, she felt obligated to go help.

Although Mother Ji had a lot of opinions about her daughter, in the end she gave birth to that daughter and she also wanted to leave a good impression on Ji Yunyuns mother-in-law.

Naturally, Mothet Ji welcomed Aunt Li, and said that she didn't have to come all the way here.

Aunt Li said with a smile, You don't have to be so polite with me. Li Zhi and his third brother-in-law are so capable, so shouldnt I come and help pick some cherries?

Just a while ago, Ji Jianyun sent two big watermelons to her family, so she went here to help now.

Mother Ji smiled, and she took her to pick cherries together.

There were some other workers who were rushing to pick the cherries. The cherries were shipped out to sell immediately after being picked.

Fortunately, there was a lot sold in the college town. Those old uncles and aunts all liked to eat cherries. It was not just them, but also the grandchildren at home.

They were like Uncle Gao. He had a lot of money and had many children, each with their own talent. He bought several boxes for each, and after buying them, he took advantage of the truck that day to deliver them to his children.

What else could be said about Uncle Gao besides that he was rich? He already had a telephone installed. He could buy whatever his grandchildren wanted to eat and deliver it.

After sending several boxes of cherries over that day, they called him.

Father, did you buy these cherries at Ji Jianyun's shop? It was his eldest daughter-in-law who called, and after a few words about whether she had eaten, she went straight into this question.

That's right, I've eaten the cherries from Jianyun's family, and they're really good, so I sent some to you, Uncle Gao said.

Although his children were also in the college town, they did not live close to each other. It would take more than an hour by bus. Several of his children lived in the center of the city. Although his side was developed, it couldnt be compared with the prosperity of the city center.

Father, is he still there? His eldest daughter-in-law asked.

Is there not enough? Uncle Gao asked, One box has quite a lot.

There was a lot in the boxes. Ji Jianyun had ordered someone to deliver them. It was all in foam boxes, and each box could hold ten catties.

Its a lot, but there's not enough to share with everyone. Father, send me two more boxes tomorrow. I'll keep one box here, and I'll take the other box to work to share with my colleagues, his eldest daughter-in-law said.

The cherries were big and very sweet, and the taste was incomparable.

Soon she had a performance evaluation, and she wants to take a box as gifts.

During the New Year, Uncle Gao gave a lot of things to his children. He had a pension and rent. That was the reason why his eldest daughter-in-law dared to ask this.

Sure. Uncle Gao agreed.

Not long after the phone was put down, it rang again.

Father, who called you?

Your eldest sister-in-law called, Uncle Gao said. He was talking to his second son.

Did eldest sister-in-law call you to send more cherries? His second son laughed.

You want more too? Uncle Gao asked.

Yes, father, please send me three more boxes, his second son replied.

Uncle Gao asked, Why do you want so much?

To eat more. Your twin grandsons ate it all. My wife and I only ate a few, and they ate the rest. They are still arguing about wanting more tomorrow. His second son chuckled.

Its delicious, but they can't eat too much. When will they be on summer vacation? Let them come and live here for a while. Jianyun's shop is full of fruits, so let them come here and eat more fruits. Didn't the doctor tell you that they need more vitamins? Uncle Gao said.

Because they were twins, they didn't have any good nutrition in the womb. Thus, they were relatively weak when they were born. That was then, and life is better now, and they slowly grew stronger.
