Chapter 9 Farm

  Farm? A farm for sale?

  Yuanchi's heart moved, this is a good opportunity.

  On the Blue Star, arable land is scarce. Here, owning an acre of land that can produce grain is truly hard currency, more reliable than the Blue Star's currency, and its value is equivalent to Federation credit points.

  Yuan Xi had thought of this before, but because land was scarce and few people would sell, the idea was just a fleeting thought. He never expected to run into Wang Qingnian wanting to sell today, how could he not be tempted?

  In her heart, Yuanyu's movements became even more agile, originally she was already cooking with all her heart, now she added another two points of sincerity.

  Because time was tight and the ingredients on hand were limited, Yuanxi cooked a fresh fish, made a dish of minced meat with eggplant, thinking that there were more ladies in the house, he added a dish of pineapple and ham, which was both fragrant and sweet with a hint of sourness, and also had the aroma of fruit. There was still a piece of winter melon by his side, so he made another soup.

  These were all familiar ingredients to him, and then he tried using the eggs of a species of bird called Su Tuo Niao that was native to Blue Star, making a three-colored egg pudding with white milk color, light yellow, and green scallions, looking at it made one's appetite greatly increase.

  Then he paired three cold dishes, a sugar and vinegar cherry radish, a bean skin roll with raw vegetables, and a green bean sprout in sesame sauce.

  While doing these, his mind kept ringing with "Congratulations, cooking skills increased by 1 point." A total of eight dishes, but the proficiency increased by seven points. Yuanchuan noticed that it was because the minced meat and eggplant dish did not increase in proficiency. Yuanchuan thought for a moment, seemingly having made this dish before, could it be that once you've made it, it doesn't increase anymore?

  With farm matters on his mind, Yuanxi didn't study these things much further and quickly brought the dishes to the table.

  This sumptuous table of dishes left Wang Lao, Wang Qingnian and his wife, as well as Wang Xueqing, all staring in amazement. Yuan Yucheng and Lin Su Yun knew that Yuan Xi could cook, but they didn't expect him to produce such a colorful and fragrant feast in just one short hour, and they were also somewhat surprised in their hearts.

  At this time, Little Yuan Zhe was already tired from playing, and Lin Su Yun had also fed him milk powder. He was sleeping soundly, not disturbing the adults from eating. When Lin Su Yun had a chance, she let Yuan Xi sit down, and she went to prepare bowls, chopsticks, wine cups, and fine old wine.

  Even after thousands of years, human enthusiasm for wine has not wavered in the slightest. Although many types of brewing have been tried, the essence remains unchanged, and grain-brewed liquor is still a favorite among people.

  Yuanchuan hadn't drunk much wine before, and he wasn't quite sure of his capacity for liquor. Moreover, his body couldn't handle drinking at the moment, nor was it suitable to eat spicy food. Lin Xiyun had instructed him on these matters a long time ago, and he remembered them clearly.

  Although Yuan Xi couldn't drink, Wang Qingnian felt regretful, but since it was a physical problem, he didn't want to persuade him repeatedly. However, Yuan Xi kept helping to pour wine and chatting with humor, fine wine paired with delicious food, people were harmonious and got along well, the meal was extremely delightful.

  Wang Qingnian was originally a smooth talker, and now he's even more garrulous, talking and talking until he got to his current headache:

  "My farm, it's over 300 mu of land, all of which is high-quality arable land. Every year, it produces over 600,000 jin of grain and a large quantity of fruit and vegetables, not to mention the livestock - we have Su birds, white-spotted cows, spotted pigs, and even fire deer. They're all top breeds... Ah, if it weren't for my daughter, I really wouldn't want to give it up..."

  The more he spoke, the more Yuanxi's heart moved. Following his words, Yuanxi asked a few more questions. As soon as she did, Lin Su Yun looked at him several times. Lin Su Yun was extremely clever and immediately guessed Yuanxi's thoughts. However, she didn't stop him but instead helped to ask some even more crucial questions.

  Lin Suyun showed interest, and Wang Qingnian's heart moved. In fact, he really couldn't bear to part with this farm, even if it meant using credit points for the transaction, there would be a long line of people waiting to buy. But in his heart, he was truly reluctant to let go, having managed it for decades, every brick, tile, grass and tree were carefully cultivated by him, this feeling couldn't be faked.

  If it weren't for his daughter's future, he would rather die than leave. Now that he has to go, he also wants to entrust the farm to a reliable family, so as not to let his years of hard work go down the drain.

  It's just so coincidental, although he only met Yuan Yuchen for a day after getting married, but he feels very comfortable. Yuan Yuchen is honest and steady, can do things with a good heart, Lin Suyun is capable and decisive, and their son is even more likable, without the arrogance of young people, stable and steady, and has an outgoing personality, able to speak and express himself well. Wang Qingnian keeps thinking in his heart, if he had a son, it would probably be like this...

  So, seeing their intention to take over the farm, he was delighted in his heart. At the end of the conversation, he couldn't help but say to Yuan Yuchen: "Old brother, your sister-in-law always says that I'm impulsive, but actually, I just trust my intuition. I think you're a good person and we hit it off. This farm, if you can take over, I'll give you a discount, just 20 million credit points will do. It's also a way to repay the kindness of saving my old father."

  As soon as he spoke, Yuan Xi, who didn't quite understand the market price, was still uncertain, but Yuan Yu Cheng and Lin Su Yun's faces changed.

  In the Federation, resources are the most important thing, from food and clothing to scientific research and military affairs, everything is indispensable. One of the sources of these resources is arable land, and the value of such land is basically clearly marked in the entire Federation, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

  Three hundred mu of land, no matter what, requires 40 million credit points, but Wang Qingnian only needs 20 million credit points. This is not a discount, it's basically half price.

  Lin Su Yun spoke up first: "Wang Ge, when we first came to Blue Star, we wanted to settle down here and also wanted to buy some property. But this price of yours is too low, even for you, how can that be okay?"

  "Brother, you saved my father's life... this can't be measured with money..."

  At this time, Yuanxi also heard the door and knew that Wang Qingnian had indeed quoted a very low price. He said: "Uncle Wang, if you say so again, it's too polite. Moreover, Xueqing is going to study on the main planet, where consumption is high and money needs to be spent everywhere. You should prepare more money and have some spare cash."

  Wang Qingnian was about to speak, but Wang Xueqing quietly pulled his sleeve. Wang Qingnian paused for a moment. Although his daughter didn't like to talk and laugh as much as he did, she was more thoughtful. He felt that he had been too hasty when Xueqing pulled him.

  Moreover, it was really reckless. Although he gave in to the price, 2 million credit points were not a small amount after all. An ordinary family wouldn't be able to afford it. Moreover, he looked around Yuan Yu's home, three bedrooms and one living room, although not simple but also not rich, just an ordinary family.

  He didn't know them very well after all, and if they were not in a good financial situation, wouldn't he be putting them on the spot by pushing like this? Although it was kind of him, it was indeed a bit too sudden.

  As soon as this thought occurred to Wang Qingnian, he stopped talking and didn't continue until they were full of food and drink, and the sky was late. When they left, he held Yuanxi's hand and said: "Little boy, your uncle Wang's words are absolutely reliable. If there is any difficulty, just tell me, and I will definitely help if I can."

  His words might have been somewhat embarrassing to Yuan Yuchen and Lin Su Yun, but they were suitable for a junior like Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi's heart was warm with gratitude as he smiled and said: "Uncle Wang, thank you."

  Wang Qingnian smiled happily seeing this, and then pulled Wang Xueqing and Yuan Yucheng to bid farewell. Finally, he didn't forget to take a look at the sleeping little Yuan Zhe before driving away.

  Wang Qingnian left, and the family returned to the house. Yuan Xi invited Yuan Yuchen and Lin Su Yun to sit down, then knelt down with a thud, looking at them solemnly and saying: "Uncle, auntie, I grew up alone since childhood, without parents or relatives, always being alone until I met you two. As for what happened to Little Yuan Zhe, I know that if it weren't for you two, we probably wouldn't have made it." As he spoke, he bowed his head and kowtowed heavily.

  Yuan Yucheng and Lin Suyun quickly got up and pulled him up. Yuan Yucheng said, "What's wrong with you, kid?"

  Lin Su Yun also said: "On the passenger ship, if it weren't for you, how could we two old people have survived?"

  Yuan Xi said: "This is different, the thing on the passenger ship doesn't count as anything. At most, I was just self-rescuing and indirectly saved everyone, but you guys truly saved me and Xiao Yuan Zhe. This kindness, I am aware of." As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then looked up again, staring at them steadily.

  He remained silent for a moment before speaking out loud: "Uncle, aunt, if you don't mind, let me be your son and take good care of you!"

  As soon as he said this, Lin Suyun's tears fell instantly, and Yuan Yucheng's eyes also turned red. They helped Yuan Xi up, their voices trembling with sobs, saying: "Good child, good child, you have such a kind heart, we're so happy, too happy."

  Yuanchi's nose was a bit sour, those two words he thought would never be spoken in his lifetime, now suddenly had the opportunity.

  He looked at Yuan Yuchen and Lin Su Yun, and called out in a somewhat awkward voice: "Dad, Mom."

  Yuanyu Cheng and Lin Suyun responded together: "Ah."

  There wasn't much ceremony or ritual, but the thought and intention at this moment was enough. A single "Dad" and "Mom", a simple response, already represented all the emotions.

  The three of them calmed down and sat down together. Lin Su Yun asked about the farm that Wang Qing Nian had wanted to transfer earlier. She understood Yuan Xi's intention, and this was indeed a good choice.

  In the past, she didn't take 2 million credit points seriously, but now this amount of money is a huge sum for them.

  Yuanyou had a plan in his heart, he took out the several 100-yuan bills that he had intentionally kept and gave one to Yuanyu Cheng and Lin Su Yun each.

  They took a look and understood that although they didn't know where Yuanchuan got these ancient coins from, using them could exchange for quite a few credit points, enough to buy the farm.

  Yuan Yuancheng thought for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, Xiaoxi, I hope you can still buy the farm at market price. Two million is too much of a loss for Wang Qingnian, we can't owe such a great favor."

  Yuan Xi nodded in agreement, he thought so too. Everyone's life is not easy, although Yuan Yuchen saved Wang Lao, they cannot accept such a great favor because of this, it's too much. Moreover, the Wang family is very good, with the idea of coming and going frequently, they also cannot take advantage of this opportunity.

  The family discussed and compromised, Xiao Yuan Zhe also woke up from his sleep, he didn't cry, but was kicking back and forth on the small bed seeking attention.

  Yuanyu hastily went over, just in time to meet the small thing's black grape-like big eyes. The small thing stared at him without blinking, then burst out laughing, its little mouth making "ah ah ah oh oh oh" sounds.

  Yuanchi hastily picked him up, and Lin Su Yun saw that he was about to remind Yuanchi, but then Yuanchi's second set of clothes for the day got wet again, another dripping wet...

  Yuanyu couldn't help but laugh and cry, and gently patted the little guy's white and tender buttocks. In his heart, he thought: When your dad has money, I'll first buy you a high-end intelligent all-around breathable absorbent super strong diaper that can be transformed!

  The author has something to say: Ye Heng's classmate, in a place he didn't know, quietly had another son and parents-in-law... *facepalm*.
