081: A Surprise Visit

The eldest uncle's family was sorrowful but Wang Cheng's family situation was flourishing.

The fruits picked in the next two days were piled at home, and the yard was almost full of baskets. People who were uninformed thought that they were selling fruits at their house.

Mama Wang bought a lot of ingredients and utensils that afternoon, such as items for making persimmon cakes. However, because of their limited conditions, they could only dry fruits naturally. This method was relatively simple, but the peeling process was more troublesome. For this reason, Wang Cheng deliberately invited three or four women who were good at making persimmon cakes to help Mama Wang. Among them was his aunt, who had quicker limbs than the others.

The next day, they went into the mountain as usual, picking for three or four days in a row. They didn’t stop until most of the ripe fruits in the mountain were picked by them.

On that day, Wang Ziyu’s National Day holiday was over. Wang Chengcheng bought a plane ticket and took her to the airport in the morning. As Wang Ziyu left, the fragrant pig was also sent to his grandma’s house. With the family busy at home, there was no one to take care of it.

Wang Cheng wanted to visit Chu Yifeng, but there were too many things in the family. Papa Wang and Mama Wang were too busy, so he gave up his plan. However, he did not expect that Chu Yifeng would give him a fright, yes, that is: a fright. Without any notice, Chu Yifeng came directly to the Guan’s Village.

At that time, Wang Cheng was helping select good fruits in the yard. The persimmons meant for the persimmon cakes needed to be divided from the fruits that were damaged or had insects. An aunt came over and said that someone was looking for him outside.

There were many people looking for him during this time, and Wang Cheng didn't think much about going out without washing his hands. And then he saw Chu Yifeng leaning on the door of his car. This scene looked really familiar, but with a different situation, a situation that completely frightened him. He hurried and ran over.

"Boss Chu, why are you here?"

"Didn’t you say that I could come to the Guan’s Village to see you?" Chu Yifeng threw the remaining half of his cigarette on the ground and extinguished it, asking him back instead.

Wang Cheng knew that he was in a bad position. "Well, why are you, a big boss, free enough to come to a small place like the Guan’s Village today? Aren't you busy?"

"If you don’t come back, I can only go to you by myself." Chu Yifeng did not mind expressing that he missed his lover, who he had just been in a relationship with for less than a month. The thickness of his face was comparable to that of Wang Cheng’s.

Wang Cheng was ashamed by this sentence of why Chu Yifeng was able to come to him, but he was actually also very happy. Nevertheless, he was still worried that Chu Yifeng would do something out of the ordinary; the acceptance of relationships between two men in the countryside was not as high as in the city. It was impossible for him to let his family know that he was dating Chu Yifeng.

"Chengcheng, who is looking for you, why not ask them to come in?" Papa Wang's voice came from the yard.

Wang Cheng thought that everyone had come to the door, and he could not really block people from entering. So he told Chu Yifeng to not talk nonsense before bringing him in.

"This is?" Papa Wang saw Chu Yifeng, and he was a little overwhelmed. Although he was not as formal as when he was wearing a suit, his aura was still a bit strong.

"Dad, I'll introduce him to you. This is my boss, his name is Chu Yifeng. He was just passing by the Guan’s Village, so he came by to take a look." Wang Cheng soon threw away his guilty conscience and introduced him. No matter how well he concealed things, it was useless; as long as he behaved normally, nothing should be found.

"So it is Boss Chu, welcome, welcome. Chengcheng, why didn't you hurry to bring Boss Chu in? We can't neglect others." Papa Wang said this to Wang Cheng happily. Although he had not seen Chu Yifeng before, his impression of him had been good. In addition, the second son had asked him to play along in the previous incident, and Papa Wang was very thankful to him for that.

Wang Cheng had to bite the bullet and let Chu Yifeng sit in the living room. The seats in the living room were all old furniture. The set of furniture ordered by Mama Wang would not be delivered until two days from then.

"Boss, sit for a while, I'll wash my hands."

By the time he came out, Papa Wang was already in the living room chatting with Chu Yifeng, who showed no restraint.

Papa Wang was old and had rich experience, but Chu Yifeng was also well-informed. He himself didn’t know how much stuff was in his head. He could even have a conversation with Papa Wang, who was twenty years older than him. They had a conversation related to nature. He was just washing his hands, but they started a topic so quickly that Wang Cheng couldn't help but look at Chu Yifeng.

Papa Wang liked to talk to others everywhere, but the only person who could have a conversation with him at home was the eldest brother. However, Wang Ning’an was rarely at home, so Papa Wang could only find someone else to talk to. However, no one in the village could talk to him very well. Luckily, he finally met a chatting partner. As soon as he opened his mouth, he forgot to do his work. It wasn't until Mama Wang found him inside that he remembered. At this point, when he was called out, Papa Wang still left Chu Yifeng sitting down, not thinking about how Chu Yifeng might have this time to spend.

"Well." Wang Cheng sat across from Chu Yifeng. It was hard to believe that he won his father over in less than ten minutes. "Boss Chu, it seems my father likes you very much."

"This is normal." Chu Yifeng said.

"You are so narcissistic." Wang Cheng stood up. "I'm going to get busy, just sit here by yourself."

Chu Yifeng did not reply, but he went out with him.

Wang Cheng was still surprised at what happened earlier. When did Chu Yifeng become so good at talking? Usually, even he would be driven back by Papa Wang. He would not actually leave the guest alone in the living room, especially this guest that was very popular with Papa Wang--it was even more impossible for his son to snub him.

Seeing that Chu Yifeng was not surprised at all, Wang Cheng gave him a thumbs-up, "You bull, you had figured out my father's character in such a short time. Why don't you become a spy?"

"No one asked." To be precise, no one dared to ask, not to mention that his face was so recognizable that he could not be a spy.

"You're still fat even if you say you're not fat." Wang Cheng rolled his legs and twisted his neck. He had sorted fruits in the yard this whole morning and his whole body very sore.

Upon seeing this, Chu Yifeng asked, "Why not get more workers?" If not for Wang Cheng’s family’s presence, he would rub his shoulders and neck.

"Boss Chu, although I still have a little money saved, I can’t afford to splurge like this. You don’t know, but after contracting the north mountain, I am basically just spending all my money. It is impossible for me to make this money back in a short time." Really when he had a lot of money, there was money, but now since he has no continuous source of money, he can only save a little money.

"Aren’t there a lot of fruits in the yard, do you plan to sell them?"

"I do plan to, but there is no clear way yet. By the time I find a buyer, most of the fruit will rot, so I plan to make the fruit into something that can be stored easily. My mother has good craftsmanship. I will invite you to try it later. She made very good jam. It's delicious and anti-cancer. It can also be stored for a long time, so I plan to make most of the fruits into jam. "

The jam was relatively easy to make. Yesterday, his mother boiled a pot of plum jam, which was already packed in small jars they had sterilized, and one jar was given to each aunt that helped.

Wang Cheng went to the kitchen to pick up a jar of plum jam, which was red and sticky. It was just made yesterday, so it was still a bit fresh. He dug in a spoon and poured it into a bowl. He tried a bite first, it was sweet and sour, and it tasted good.

"Try it."

Chu Yifeng didn't really like to eat such sweet and sour things, but seeing Wang Cheng was so happy, he didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm. He tried a bit, and the flavor on his taste buds was not bad. At least when he ate it, he had the feeling of wanting to take a second bite

"How is it? Not bad?" In fact, Wang Cheng knew the answer by looking at his expression. “This jam is made with my mother's secret recipe, not like those jams in the supermarket, and you also can’t buy it outside.”

"It's really delicious." Chu Yifeng nodded in agreement.

Wang Cheng was happy when he heard someone praise his homemade jam. "I’ll tell you, this secret jam recipe was learned by my mother from my grandma. When my mother was young, there were many brothers and sisters in her family, and there was not enough fruits for all of them. My grandma is the kind of person who has a bowl of water for everyone.

So she later made the fruit into jam. The so-called secret in the recipe is actually the cooking ingredients. The mastery of the process should be moderate, not hard. My grandma has been making jam for decades and slowly developed this craft. My grandma has four daughters, and only my mother has inherited the recipe. "

"It looks like you are going to be a fruit farmer."

"What’s wrong with being a fruit farmer, I think it’s good. Don’t underestimate the fruit farmer." Wang Cheng said, "However, I didn't think of this much at first. Now, I feel that I can sell jam and open a family business in the future. It's good to sell all kinds of jams, and anyway, I don't lack fruit."

"As long as you’re happy." Chu Yifeng had no opinion, he respected his partner's ideas.

Soon it was noon. Papa Wang enthusiastically invited Chu Yifeng to stay for dinner. Mama Wang did not agree with it because, after all, Chu Yifeng was the owner of a large company. Maybe there were important things to do. What to do if things were delayed? Papa Wang was shaken.

Wang Cheng was so affected by Chu Yifeng that he had to bite the bullet and join the ranks of persuading Mama Wang to let him stay. In addition, Chu Yifeng also said that he had nothing to do, so he succeeded in staying.
