~7 min read 1,280 words

"Who said I would starve to death?"

Wan Ping'an returned with Xu Damao, Sun Tiezhu, and others, and as soon as they entered the gate, they heard someone saying he would starve to death; he didn't need to look to know it was Jia Zhang.

"Don't worry, even if you starve to death, I won't starve to death!"

Wan Ping'an glared coldly at Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang shuddered.

She felt a chill rise from the soles of her feet, passing through her calves, thighs, waist, cervical spine, and straight to the top of her head; her whole body was "frozen" stiff!

"Ping'an, you're back?"

The Third Aunt stood up.

She greeted Wan Ping'an with a smile.

"I'm back."

"You guys keep chatting, I'm going back."

Wan Ping'an headed to the back courtyard.

"Jiecheng, is this pumpkin grown by Ping'an?"

"Golden yellow, it looks so good!"

The Third Aunt praised.

"Hmph, good-looking doesn't mean good-tasting, pumpkins are for eating, not for looking at!"

After Wan Ping'an left, Jia Zhang also recovered.

She was jealous; her family didn't have any!

Sun family in the middle courtyard.

Sun Tiezhu carried the pumpkin home.

"Mom, this is the pumpkin Ping'an gave me."

"Also, I want to discuss something with you, I want to use all the money Ping'an hired us with to buy pumpkins, he promised to give me a discount."

Sun Tiezhu discussed with his mother Wang Dahua.

"It's your own money, you can decide."

Wang Dahua was quite open-minded.

"Mom, let's eat pumpkin tonight."

"The pumpkin grown by Brother Ping'an must be delicious, just like the tomatoes he grew, people say they are much better than meat."

Sun Tiezhu took out a pumpkin.

Washed it.

Cut it into pieces. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====

Put it directly on the pot to steam.

"Second brother, I'm back?"

"I missed you!"

A little girl sat up from the kang; she looked three or four years old, her hair was a bit yellow, and there wasn't much meat on her face; she was thin and small.

"Niuniu, are you awake?"

"Second brother went to buy you something good to eat, just wait, when the pumpkin is steamed, I'll give it to you."

Sun Tiezhu picked up Niuniu.

Niuniu was the youngest of the three children in the Sun family, and the only girl, only three and a half years old, named Sun Xiaohong, and was very spoiled at home.

Her nickname was Niuniu.

"By the way, Mom, Brother Ping'an's pumpkin harvest is big, there are too many, Cai Quanwu can't watch it alone, he needs to find someone to help watch it temporarily."

"Brother Ping'an said he'd give five yuan a month, can I go?"

While steaming the pumpkin, Sun Tiezhu discussed with Wang Dahua.

"So fragrant!"

"Too fragrant!"

"Second brother, is that pumpkin steaming in the pot?"

Niuniu suddenly called out.

Sun Tiezhu only then noticed that the pumpkin hadn't been steamed yet, but it started to emit a thick fragrance, making him unable to help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.

"Wan Ping'an really has skills!"

"The tomatoes he grew, five mao each, expensive as hell, but people fought to buy them, afraid they wouldn't be able to buy any."

"Five mao, if you go to the vegetable market, you can buy more than ten jin of ordinary tomatoes."

"The pumpkins he grew haven't been sold yet, I don't know the price, but just based on this fragrance, it definitely won't be cheap."

Wang Dahua sighed deeply.

"Tiezhu, follow Ping'an well, he will definitely be successful in the future."

"As long as he is willing to take you in, you will definitely be able to live a good life."

Wang Dahua had long hair, but her insight was not short at all.

"Why is it so fragrant?"

"It seems to be the fragrance of pumpkin."

A man who looked 70% like Sun Tiezhu pushed the door and entered; he was more mature than him, it was his eldest brother Sun Tiegang who had finished work.

Immediately after.

Another man walked in.

It was the head of the Sun family, Sun Laogen.

Sun Tiezhu told everything that happened today.

"It's your own business, you can decide for yourself."

"Remember what your mom said, if you want to work, follow Ping'an well, his character is very good, you won't be wrong following him."

Sun Laogen was also quite open-minded.

When the five people were talking, the pumpkin was steamed.

The moment the lid was lifted, the strong aroma reached its peak, and smelling it made one feel physically and mentally comfortable.

"Brother, it's really better than meat!"

Niuniu was the most impatient, couldn't wait to take a small piece, took a small bite, and her mouth was burned, but she still smiled very brightly.

Yan Fugui's house.

Xu Damao's house.

The families who helped Wan Ping'an harvest pumpkins all ate steamed pumpkin for dinner.

In the Sihe Academy, a thick pumpkin fragrance permeated.

Yan family.

"This pumpkin is too delicious."

"With this pumpkin, we don't need to buy meat for the New Year."

"Just eat one, save the rest, and eat it during the New Year."

Yan Fugui started calculating again.

Jia family.

Jia Zhang wanted to eat meat.

Jia Gensheng had bought half a jin of meat and stir-fried it with mushrooms.

Just finished stir-frying.

The fragrance of pumpkin came from the courtyard.

"Isn't it just pumpkin?"

"What's so great about it?"

"You guys eat pumpkin, I eat meat, meat is much more fragrant than pumpkin."

Jia Zhang smelled the fragrance of the steamed pumpkin, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and unconvinced, picked up a piece of meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed hard!

"What's going on?"

"It seems pumpkin is more fragrant than meat?"

"It must be an illusion, Wan Ping'an made me angry!"

Jia Zhang put down her chopsticks.

This time she really had no appetite.

Jia Gensheng and Jia Dong didn't dare to move their chopsticks; what was wrong with Jia Zhang?

She didn't even eat meat, something must be seriously wrong!

"Mom, are you okay?"

Jia Dong asked nervously.

He didn't want to ask either, but Jia Gensheng kicked him under the table and kept giving him winks, so he could only bite the bullet and ask.

"I want to eat pumpkin!"

Jia Zhang answered.

It's over!

Jia Dong felt dizzy.

The pumpkin was Wan Ping'an's, Jia Zhang wanted to eat pumpkin, wouldn't she ask him to steal it again?

Wan Ping'an was too ruthless, he was worried about his life!

Back courtyard.

The Deaf Old Lady smelled the pumpkin fragrance, and her face was covered with dark clouds!

"It's Wan Ping'an again!"

"How can he grow such fragrant pumpkins?"

"It must be a very unique technology; if I had this technology, even if I were old, I could make strong young men serve me!"

"Pah, I thought wrong!"

"This little brat, his wings are getting harder and harder; if I let him continue to grow, I definitely won't be able to control him, I must act as soon as possible!"

A murderous intent flashed in the Deaf Old Lady's eyes!

Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Sigh, why is it Wan Ping'an again?"

"He first grew tomatoes for five mao each, then grew such fragrant pumpkins; when selling them, they definitely won't be cheaper than tomatoes."

"He makes money much easier than me."

"Damn it, he's just a farmer, why does he make more money than me?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned red!

Jealous!

"He must have exclusive technology."

"If I could get the technology, I would go farming, and I would definitely earn more than him!" ===== CHAPTER 96 =====
