While everyone was busy picking watermelons, Liu Xincheng walked over.
He walked over to Liu Yifeng with a smile. "Yifeng, I heard someone is buying your watermelons. How much per pound?"
Liu Yifeng smiled. "Not much per pound. Just earning some hard work money."
Liu Xincheng knew Liu Yifeng wasn't being honest and refused to tell him the truth. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Su Wanru. "Beautiful lady, are you the boss who is buying Liu Yifeng's watermelons?"
"What, is there a problem?" Su Wanru didn't have a good impression of Liu Xincheng, and her tone was very cold.
Liu Xincheng quickly said, "No, no, I was just asking out of curiosity. Do you mind buying more watermelons?
My family also grows hundreds of thousands of pounds of watermelons, and there's still more than half left.
Each one has thin skin and abundant flesh, and they are very sweet. If you want them, I'll sell them to you cheaply."
"Sorry, we sell high-end fruits, and ordinary watermelons don't catch my eye at all!" Su Wanru was very direct, which made Liu Xincheng a bit embarrassed.
However, he quickly adjusted his mood and continued, "My watermelons are also of excellent varieties. Although they are not as big, they are just as sweet.
And to be honest, his watermelons are so big that people can't finish one after buying it. The watermelons I grow are just the right size!"
He didn't care that Liu Yifeng was right there. Since Liu Yifeng wouldn't sell to him, he would steal his business.
When his watermelons couldn't be sold, Liu Yifeng would have to beg him.
Su Wanru frowned. "I'm sorry, I won't buy your watermelons no matter how cheap they are. You should find someone else!"
Her words completely made Liu Xincheng lose face. "If I understand correctly, buying Liu Yifeng's watermelons wasn't cheap? So you look down on cheap watermelons?
I wonder, how much did you buy them for? Let me open my eyes!"
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Su Wanru's retort left him speechless.
"I remember Liu Yifeng saying he wouldn't sell his watermelons for less than seven yuan per pound. You wouldn't be that sucker, would you?
I'm telling you, even though his watermelons are big and sweet, only a fool would pay seven yuan per pound just to eat watermelon.
If you haven't signed a contract, I advise you to give up quickly, or you'll lose your fortune!" Liu Xincheng said with certainty, pretending to be concerned for her.
Su Wanru frowned unhappily. "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Hmph, if you don't want to say it, then don't. As if I care!" With that, Liu Xincheng left angrily.
Since they didn't appreciate his kindness, they could just wait to lose money. He had genuinely tried to help but was met with ingratitude.
"Who was that?" After he left, Su Wanru curiously asked Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng explained, "He's the richest man in our village. He owns several orchards and grows a lot of watermelons. He saw that my watermelons were growing well, so he wanted to buy them at two yuan per pound. I refused, so he has a big opinion of me.
He probably came over specifically to laugh at me, and to poach you so that my watermelons couldn't be sold, and then he could buy them at a lower price."
"That's wishful thinking. I'd rather buy his ordinary watermelons than your excellent ones? Isn't that being out of my mind?" Su Wanru's expression immediately turned cold upon hearing this.
Soon, an hour passed. Over three hundred watermelons were picked, weighing fourteen thousand six hundred and ninety-two pounds.
"One hundred and seventeen thousand five hundred and thirty-six yuan!" Su Wanru was still calculating the price with a calculator when Tong Tong's voice rang out.
Just as her calculator on her phone showed the result, it was exactly the same as Tong Tong's calculation. Her eyes widened in shock.
"Tong Tong, how did you calculate that?" Even though she graduated from a prestigious university, she couldn't calculate that mentally.
Yet, Tong Tong, a three-year-old boy, calculated it in just a few seconds. This was truly miraculous!
Liu Yifeng explained from the side, "My son is quite talented at math. He can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division mentally."
"This can't be described as just talent; it's clearly a genius among geniuses. Such a young child, who hasn't even started school, can mentally calculate multiplication of hundreds of thousands. If he were to go to school, who knows what he'd achieve? Mr. Liu, your son will surely be extraordinary in the future. You must nurture him well." Su Wanru said, unable to help but gently pat Tong Tong's head.
This child was not only well-behaved and sensible but also so intelligent, making it hard not to like him.
"I know that. I'm planning to send him to kindergarten in September. I'll find a good kindergarten then." Liu Yifeng knew that even the smartest people need postnatal learning, otherwise, they would be like a shortened Zhongyong.
He finally had a son with exceptional talent, and he wouldn't let him be buried.
"I know the principal of a kindergarten. Their kindergarten has been a long-term customer of our BaiGuoYuan for fruits. Their teaching qualifications and hardware facilities are far superior to other kindergartens. It's a bit expensive, costing twenty to thirty thousand per semester, yet many parents are desperate to get their children in. For ordinary families, even with money, it's hard to get in without connections." Su Wanru didn't want Tong Tong to end up as an ordinary person due to a lack of good education.
After all, if she had such an intelligent son, she would spare no expense to give him the best education.
The most expensive kindergarten in the city is called Aerospace Kindergarten. Liu Yifeng had heard of it. Children who graduate from this kindergarten learn much faster than those from other kindergartens when they start first grade.
However, he didn't know if Su Wanru was referring to this school, so he asked, "Have you heard of Aerospace Kindergarten, Mr. Liu?"
"I don't know if Mr. Liu has heard of Aerospace Kindergarten. Their kindergarten only recruits two hundred students each year. They have the best educational environment and qualifications. If you can get in, I think it's worth considering." She was mainly worried that Liu Yifeng would be reluctant to pay such expensive tuition fees, as it was nearly thirty thousand per semester, sixty thousand per year, and sometimes other miscellaneous fees were added, totaling at least sixty-five thousand.
An ordinary family's annual income is only twenty to thirty thousand, and those who are truly willing to pay are families with assets of millions or tens of millions.
Liu Yifeng immediately said, "As long as we can get in, let alone thirty thousand per semester, even fifty thousand per semester, I'm willing to pay."
"Okay, I'll call the principal another day. But as you know, human relationships involve giving gifts," Su Wanru said hesitantly.
Liu Yifeng nodded in understanding. "I understand. Just tell me what gifts are needed, and I'll arrange them. Whether this works out or not, thank you! I'll treat you to a meal then!"
"No need for a meal. It's just a small favor. Besides, you are a married man. If your wife finds out, it might lead to misunderstandings." Su Wanru was a person who understood the importance of avoiding suspicion.
Liu Yifeng scratched his head awkwardly. "To be honest, I don't have a wife yet!"
This statement made Su Wanru's eyes widen in surprise. "When you say you don't have a wife, do you mean you're divorced, or that the child's mother..."
