"Mr. Cheng, this is Han Jie, sorry to disturb you!"
As soon as Cheng Xiaofan answered the call, he heard the other person say, "My cousin wants to visit you tomorrow. Are you free?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan naturally couldn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Mr. Han, you're too kind. I have no inconvenience. I'll be waiting for you at home tomorrow."
Han Jie smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng. I'll come with my cousin tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xiaofan was curious. Who was this cousin of Han Jie's, and what did she want with him?
Han Jie hadn't said on the phone, and he hadn't asked.
Thinking about the two million yuan Han Jie's cousin had tipped him, Cheng Xiaofan was convinced she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.
In his mind, he guessed that Han Jie's cousin was probably coming for the Happy Fruit.
The Happy Fruit he had planted in his space had just blossomed and hadn't borne fruit yet.
However, there were still some in the back mountain, and he planned to pick them.
That evening, Cheng Xiaofan rode the Sky-Breaking Eagle and brought Tao Qibao back to the back mountain.
Cheng Xiaofan picked some Happy Fruit, only twenty-three.
Without stopping to rest, he went to the field and found that the Fruit Ginseng planted by Luo Yang and Feng Xigua had already sprouted leaves more than three inches long.
At this rate, it would produce Fruit Ginseng in less than a week.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaofan discovered a peculiar phenomenon: the soil where he had used the Rain Summoning Spell always remained moist and rich in spiritual energy.
No matter how much the sun shone, it would not evaporate.
This phenomenon made Cheng Xiaofan secretly rejoice, as it would save him from repeated Rain Summoning and allow him to maintain sufficient spiritual energy within his body.
He wondered how the Fruit Ginseng seeds planted in the village on the same day were doing.
Cheng Xiaofan called the Sky-Breaking Eagle, and it carried him to the foot of the west mountain.
In the newly reclaimed land in the village, the seeds had been sown and watered, but only small green sprouts, about one centimeter high, had emerged.
Compared to the Fruit Ginseng planted in his back mountain, this was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The field had already been watered, so Cheng Xiaofan couldn't use the Divine Farmer's Zither to summon rain again, as it would compact the soil, which was not conducive to plant growth.
Cheng Xiaofan had no choice but to extend his right hand and release wisps of spiritual energy from his body, covering the entire large plot of land.
When he withdrew his hand, he felt as if his body had been emptied.
He wiped the sweat from his face and ate two energy fruits, which made him feel much better.
After returning from the foot of the west mountain to the back mountain, Cheng Xiaofan washed up and went to bed early.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning, Cheng Xiaofan rode his motorcycle home. As he neared his house, he turned into a nearby grove and took out the large grass carp from his space, placing it on the back seat.
At the same time, he took out two large bottles of energy water and placed them on the motorcycle.
When he arrived home, his parents were there. Miao Xiuhua, seeing her son unload such a large grass carp from the motorcycle, asked in surprise, "Ah, Xiaofan, where did you get such a large grass carp?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Mom, this is the Sky-Breaking Eagle's doing. I don't know where it caught it!"
"Heavens, Xiaofan, how have the eagle and dog around you learned to fish!"
Miao Xiuhua said with a beaming smile, "This grass carp looks at least two hundred pounds. How did that eagle catch it?"
Cheng Fugui, sitting nearby, heard this and laughed, "Xiuhua, that eagle of Xiaofan's can catch a wild boar weighing four hundred pounds and fly it into the air, then drop it. Let alone this fish!"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, we're having guests this morning. Let's kill this fish and have a fish feast for lunch!"
"If we can't eat it all, put it in the refrigerator."
Miao Xiuhua asked, "Xiaofan, what kind of guests are coming?"
Cheng Xiaofan casually said, "It's a cousin of a friend of mine. She wants to come and visit me!"
Upon hearing this, Miao Xiuhua's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Is your friend trying to introduce her cousin to you as a girlfriend?"
"Mom, can you stop imagining things?" Cheng Xiaofan's face darkened, and he almost fainted.
Cheng Fugui said with a serious face, "Xiaofan, don't blame your mother for this. Look at Old Wang's son in the village, he's the same age as you, but his child can already run errands!"
Cheng Xiaofan dared not argue with his father anymore. He took two bottles of energy water from the motorcycle and placed them on the table, saying, "Dad, this is the energy water I made with Fruit Ginseng. You and Mom should drink more of it regularly. It's very effective for conditioning the body!"
Hearing her son say this, Cheng Fugui immediately opened one of the bottles, scooped out a cup of water, and brought it to his mouth. As soon as he took a sip, his eyes widened, and he shouted to Miao Xiuhua, "Xiuhua, the energy water your son made is simply delicious."
"Hurry up and have a taste!"
Miao Xiuhua quickly said, "I don't have time now. Xiaofan's friend is coming, and I need to clean this fish first."
"Also, Fugui, you don't need to build the dam today. Stay home and help me with the cooking!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you!"
Cheng Fugui agreed.
"Mom, don't throw away the scales of the grass carp!"
Cheng Xiaofan reminded, "Wash the fish scales clean, coat them with flour, and deep-fry them. They are especially crispy, delicious, and nutritious!"
This large grass carp had been soaked in the pond water in his space for a long time, absorbing spiritual energy from the inside out. The whole body was a treasure.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Cheng Xiaofan received a call from Han Jie, who said he and his cousin had entered the village.
Cheng Xiaofan went to the gate and saw a white BMW driving towards him.
As the car stopped, Han Jie got out of the driver's seat, then opened the passenger door, and a long, slender leg stretched out from inside.
Immediately, a tall and slender young woman emerged from the car.
She wore black clothes and black pants, black boots, her long hair was tied back, her eyebrows were slender and arched, her phoenix eyes sparkled, her nose was delicate and straight, and her lips were like red flames. Her beauty was astonishing.
Under a large tree not far away, several village women were sitting and chatting.
"Quick, everyone, look, Xiaofan's house has another beauty!"
"This girl is so beautiful, she must be Xiaofan's girlfriend from the city!"
"Aunt Xiuhua is so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law!"
"If I had a daughter-in-law like this, I'd be smiling in my dreams!"
...
"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I am Han Jie, and this is my cousin, Bai Yiling, the CEO of Bai's Group in C City!"
Approaching Cheng Xiaofan, Han Jie made a brief introduction.
Han Jie was a middle-aged man in his forties, of medium height, wearing a well-tailored suit, with gold-rimmed glasses, and a kindly face that exuded a refined aura.
However, who would have thought that such a person had once been a severe patient suffering from depression?
When Cheng Xiaofan's gaze fell on Bai Yiling, his expression slightly froze.
"President Bai, I saw you in a historical drama years ago. Speaking of which, I was a big fan of yours back then!"
Cheng Xiaofan recognized Bai Yiling at a glance.
He had also heard that she owned a Bai's Group.
He just never expected that the person who came to his door would be her.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for your compliment!"
Bai Yiling extended her hand and shook Cheng Xiaofan's.
Cheng Xiaofan carefully looked at Bai Yiling's face and said, "President Bai, if I'm not mistaken, you have a terminal illness, stage IV breast cancer!"
