The next morning, Grandma Song and Grandpa Song arrived at Xiao Lingyu’s place. They were afraid that if they were late, Xiao Lingyu would rush out to sell the vegetables and forget to save the vegetables for them.

“Girl!” Grandma Song knocked on the door.

The sky was slightly bright. Xiao Lingyu was counting her inventory. She heard Grandma Song. Xiao Lingyu looked at the clock. It was not even 6 am yet. She was shocked that Grandpa and Grandma Song arrived so early.

Xiao Lingyu walked to open the door. She greeted, “Good morning, Grandma Song, Grandpa Song! Why are you so early?”

Grandma Song said, “I’m afraid that we might miss you if we came late!”

Grandpa Song was more straightforward. He said with a half-joking and half-serious smile, “Girl, your vegetables and fruits are too delicious. I’ve been thinking about them. I was afraid that you’d forget to save some for us, so we came early to snatch them first!”

Xiao Lingyu smiled, “Grandpa Song, I’ll never forget to reserve your portion! It’s cold outside, so please come in!”

As soon as Grandma Song and Grandpa Song entered the courtyard, they saw the warehouse filled with fresh vegetables. Grandma Song was surprised to find more variety.

Xiao Lingyu only had tomatoes, cabbages, spinach, eggplants, and chilies last time. This time, there were cucumbers, cole, garlic sprouts, and leeks.

“Girl, you have a bigger stock this time!” Grandma Song commented with a smile.

“That’s right, Grandma Song!”

“Okay, give me some of each vegetable!” Grandma Song said.

“Wife, we need to get more!” Grandpa Song reminded her. Last time, Xiao Lingyu gave them two days’ worth of ingredients, but their family had finished them in two meals. They had been waiting for Xiao Lingyu to come back to the county town. They waited for ten days, and Xiao Lingyu didn’t appear. In the end, they had to call Xiao Lingyu and ask when she’d come back to sell her crops. Xiao Lingyu gave them a date and promised to call them when she arrived at the county town.

“Okay, okay!” Grandma Song corrected, “Then, give me thirty tomatoes, five cabbages, ten eggplants, and two catties of garlic sprouts…” Grandma Song gave a list. She ordered a lot. It would take at least five or six days to finish all these.

Xiao Lingyu laughed. “Grandma Song, you don’t need to buy so many at once. I plan to stay here to sell my crops for the next three or four days. Even if I don’t open my stall, I’ll reserve the portion for you.”

“Girl, are you serious? You’ll stay here to sell vegetables for the next few days?” Grandma Song’s eyes lit up. She said happily, “In that case, I won’t be buying so much for now. Give me 30 tomatoes, 1 cabbage…” That was for a day. The thirty tomatoes were because her family liked to eat them raw as fruit.

Xiao Lingyu packed the vegetables and fruits. She placed them in a small cart. “Grandma Song, it’s quite heavy. Why don’t I drop them at your home for you?”

Grandma Song waved her hand and pointed at the small cart behind her. “This small cart is light. We’ve used it to buy heavier things.”

Grandma Song looked at the crops, and she was deep in thought. She took out her phone and made a call. After the call connected, she said, “Grandma Li, the girl you’re looking for is here. How much do you want? I’ll have her reserve them for you so that you can come to get them later. Oh, you want to come over now? Okay. The girl is at my old house. Yes, she’s still here. Okay, I’ll tell her!”
