Everything from seeds to what you could imagine was available, if you couldn't think of it, you couldn't buy it.
"Tong Tong, what seeds do you want Daddy to buy?" Liu Yifeng asked.
Tong Tong thought for a moment and said, "We can buy some watermelon seeds, and also tomato, cucumber, long bean, and water spinach seeds."
Tong Tong was naming seasonal fruit and vegetable seeds, he seemed to know quite a bit.
Liu Yifeng didn't ask further and walked straight into the shop. "Boss, give me some watermelon seeds, and some seasonal vegetable seeds."
The boss, who was sitting in a rocking chair, immediately stood up when he heard business was coming. He chuckled and said, "I wonder how much worth of seeds the esteemed boss plans to buy, and what varieties."
This was Liu Yifeng's first time buying seeds, and he didn't expect there to be different varieties. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to his son.
Tong Tong, while licking a milk-flavored popsicle, said, "For watermelon seeds, I want Shi Lei 511, two thousand plants. For tomatoes, cucumbers, long beans, and water spinach, ordinary varieties are fine. A total of twenty mu worth."
The shop owner looked at Tong Tong, who spoke with a confidence not at all like a child, and was a bit surprised. "Is this your son?"
"Yes, just as my son said. Please calculate the price for me." Liu Yifeng hadn't expected his son to be so bold, ordering so many seeds at once.
He had initially thought of buying a small amount to try out, but since his son had spoken, he would follow his son's lead.
"Alright, I'll go to the warehouse and get the seeds for you, and calculate the price later." The shop owner didn't ask any more questions.
To be honest, although these seeds were for seasonal fruits and vegetables, the best planting time had already passed.
Therefore, not many people came to buy these seeds. Now that he finally had a big order, he couldn't let this opportunity slip away due to his curiosity.
After the boss entered the warehouse, Liu Yifeng said to his son, "Tong Tong, is this too much? We don't have that much land."
"It's not a lot at all. I even feel like it's too little, but I'm afraid of scaring Daddy, so we'll just plant these for now. If we don't have land, it's fine. Daddy can go clear wasteland and rent land. In any case, I won't let you lose money."
"Since my son has such confidence, then Father will listen to you. When we get back, I'll talk to the villagers about renting land." Liu Yifeng still believed in Tong Tong, even though he was just a child.
A moment later, the boss came out with the seeds, two large bags in total.
Then he calculated the price. All the seeds added up to twelve hundred yuan.
Finally, the boss also gave them a packet of melon seeds. Liu Yifeng paid on the spot without bargaining.
After buying everything, Liu Yifeng drove to the gas station. He had promised to refuel his third uncle's car, and he wouldn't go back on his word.
After filling the tank, the father and son started their journey home.
It was already five in the afternoon when they arrived home, but it was still very hot.
Liu Chunsheng had been waiting for them in the yard at home. Seeing Yifeng driving his third brother's car, he hurried over.
"Did you buy everything?" he asked, opening the passenger door and taking Tong Tong down.
Liu Yifeng got out of the car, opened the trunk, and said, "All the things that needed to be bought have been bought."
"By the way, Dad, here's the remaining money. Please take it." Liu Yifeng took out sixteen hundred yuan from his pants pocket.
"You keep this money. You're not working now, how can you not have any money on you?" Liu Chunsheng didn't accept it. He then started unloading things from the car.
Liu Yifeng knew this was money his father had earned day by day by raising pigs.
Originally, he, as the father, should have paid for his son's banquet. Now that his father had taken care of it all, he couldn't possibly take any more money from him, especially since he had Tong Tong's two million.
So, he quietly slipped it into his father's pocket and then got busy himself.
"Huh, what is this?" Liu Chunsheng asked, looking at the two heavy bags of things with curiosity.
Liu Yifeng hadn't told him yet that they were planning to farm at home.
In fact, his father had always hoped he would work outside and make something of himself. After all, it wasn't easy to raise a university student.
Farming, in his father's opinion, was a thankless task. Only the elderly people in the village were engaged in farming. Therefore, before there were any tangible results, he didn't want his father to know, otherwise, his father would surely lose sleep over it.
So, he quickly snatched the seeds away and said, "It's nothing. I'll take it inside first."
Liu Chunsheng's eyes were a bit strange as he watched the person hurry away.
Speaking of which, his son had been single for twenty-eight years. It was understandable that he might buy some things behind his back. As a father, it was best not to expose him.
Clearly, he had misunderstood. However, were those things so heavy?
If Liu Yifeng knew his father's inner thoughts, he might have coughed up blood from anger.
After all the items were unloaded from the car, Liu Yifeng returned it to his third uncle.
Liu Chasheng was also waiting at home. This was a new car, and he didn't want it to be damaged. Fortunately, Liu Yifeng returned it intact, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, here's the car key. I'll be going if there's nothing else. Thank you for lending me the car." Liu Yifeng handed the car key to Liu Chasheng.
"What are you being so polite about? We're family. Do you want to have a drink before you go back?" Liu Chasheng took the key.
"No, thank you. Someone's waiting for me at home!" With that, Liu Yifeng left.
After watching Liu Yifeng leave, Liu Chasheng couldn't wait to get into the car. He hadn't been able to check if the car had been refueled while Liu Yifeng was there. Now that he was gone, he immediately got in, inserted the key, and seeing the nearly full fuel gauge, his mood greatly improved.
This child was truly sensible, he had indeed refueled it as he said he would. If he borrowed the car again in the future, he would lend it to him again. That way, he wouldn't have to pay for gas himself anymore.
When he returned home, Tong Tong was already drawing. Liu Yifeng quietly walked behind him, not wanting to disturb him.
He saw Tong Tong painting a bamboo forest. The bamboo stalks and leaves were lifelike, possessing the style of a master. Such a young child could achieve this level of skill. He might even surpass the legendary Tang Bohu, Liu Yifeng thought proudly.
Tong Tong was very fast at painting. He barely needed to conceive of the composition, and his strokes were all in one go, requiring no revisions and no drafts.
Soon, a complete painting emerged. In the bamboo forest, a man in ancient attire was playing the flute under the vast sky, facing the white egrets. The mood was exceptionally beautiful.
At this moment, Tong Tong noticed his father had returned and tilted his head to ask, "Daddy, do you think Tong Tong's painting is good?"
Liu Yifeng unreservedly gave him a thumbs-up. "Tong Tong, you're amazing! It's a beautiful painting."
No matter how talented Tong Tong was, he was still a child. He smiled happily when he received his father's praise.
"Tong Tong, is it finished like this?" Liu Yifeng looked at the ink painting.
"Just the last step." Tong Tong said. He opened his suitcase and took out his personal seal, which he carried with him, and stamped it in the corner.
Only then was the painting truly completed.
"Alright, now we just need to mount it and put it in a frame, then it can be mailed out." Tong Tong was still holding his seal.
So, Liu Yifeng and Tong Tong worked together to mount the painting and put it in a frame. Mounting paintings was a skillful job, but Tong Tong was already very experienced. Liu Yifeng didn't understand it, so he could only assist him.
