After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Chapter 268: Grown Taller

"It's just your mother and I working in the greenhouse, so we can't compete with other families. We're both old, so we don't need to risk our lives to compete with them."

"I plan to build a vegetable greenhouse of about one acre of land and grow the most expensive vegetables. This way, the two of us won't have much work to do, but we can still make a lot of money."

Old man Lan was very proud of himself, and he had a very careful plan in his mind.

His daughter was buying vegetables in a group. He had seen Lan Xin counting the items. Relying on the few words he knew and the fact that the other young guys were not on guard against him, he answered whatever she asked.

Old Man Lan figured out the details of the unit price and began to think about it.

There were a lot of beans, eggplants and lettuce in this season, but the price was much cheaper than other vegetables, only seven cents for two catties. Although it seemed very expensive to him, it was nothing compared with other expensive vegetables.

After careful calculation, Old Man Lan concluded that the other six or seven kilograms of vegetables could replace the ten kilograms of these vegetables.

Old Man Lan thought that if he were to plant anything next year, he would plant more expensive vegetables, so that he could use the least effort and make the most money.

"Good idea." Lan Xin quickly gave Old Man Lan a thumbs up, and the old man smiled even more happily.

"But I haven't decided what vegetables to plant yet. Lanxin, tell me." The old man looked at Lanxin and asked.

"Okay!" Lan Xin quickly counted on her fingers for Old Man Lan.

"Let me calculate. These coriander, shallots, and chili peppers, don't underestimate them. They are very expensive. Others are sold by kilograms, but this is sold by ounces."

"Then you can also try something new and grow some strawberries and other small fruits. I'm sure a lot of people will like these new things, and the price won't be cheap."

Old Man Lan couldn't help but nod his head when listening to Lan Xin's words. He listened so seriously that Lan He couldn't help but chuckle and started to laugh out loud.

Old Man Lan was so angry that he kicked him immediately, pointed at Lan He and started to curse:

"What are you laughing at? You are such an unambitious person. You only know how to follow your sister around and eat without using your brain. Now I want to start my own business, and you still dare to laugh at me, your father."

Lan Ze, who was standing aside, felt that he was somewhat innocent. The war had somehow affected him. He could not help but touch his nose and refused to speak, for fear that old man Lan would notice him.

After being kicked, Lan He was still complaining: "Why do I have no ambition? My husband and I sell hundreds of tea eggs a day and can earn 30 yuan, which is a month's salary for workers in the city. How can you say we have no ambition? In this Lanjia Village, except Lan Xin, who else can live as well as us?"

Lan He's words choked Old Man Lan, and he couldn't say anything else for a long time.

He felt so sad in his heart.

Lan Xin's group bought vegetables, and it happened to be their turn a few days ago. They sold vegetables worth a total of six yuan. Originally, Old Man Lan was quite proud that he could make so much money from the vegetables he grew.

But now, after hearing what Lan He said, he felt like he had eaten a lemon. He couldn't help thinking: Why should he bother with the greenhouse at his age? He could just go and sell tea eggs to Lan Xin, which would be easy and profitable.

Lan Qing, as the eldest brother, looked at his younger brother who was disrespectful to his parents, raised his hand and gave him a slap to suppress him, "You better talk properly, kid."

Lan He covered his head and screamed, but unfortunately no one paid attention to him. Everyone's eyes were on the obviously emo old man Lan.

I was worried that Old Man Lan would be hurt by Lan He’s words.

However, Old Man Lan still had some optimism in his personality and he comforted himself immediately.

He knows what kind of person he is. He has no chance of selling goods. Growing vegetables is more suitable for him.

Seeing that Old Man Lan had coaxed himself into submission in no time, everyone looked at each other and pretended that what had just happened had not happened.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lan Xin decided to go home and sleep as she had guests coming tomorrow.

During these two months, Lan Xin lived a very fulfilling life every day. She often complained that she didn't have enough time. How could she have the time to care about other people?

However, Yingying and Yueyue heard that their little sisters were coming to play with them, and they jumped around happily all the way, chattering about where to take Zhao Yueling to play tomorrow.

"Mom, will Lingling really come to play with us tomorrow?" Yueyue tilted her head and looked at Lanxin.

"Of course, it was your Uncle Yaozu who said that they asked someone to call and tell you." Lan Xin touched her head and found that the height of her hand was not right.

She looked at Yueyue, then turned to look at Yingying, and couldn't help but said happily, "Wow, it's only been less than two months, and you seem to have grown taller."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Yingying and Yueyue all asked in unison, their eyes reflecting the moonlight brighter than the stars in the sky.

Lan Xin smiled and nodded: "He must have grown taller. We'll know when we get back and measure him."

"Then hurry up, hurry up, let's go home quickly."

Hearing this, Yueyue couldn't wait to pull Lanxin to run home. Although Yingying didn't say anything, her running steps expressed her excitement.

Lan Xin did not want to spoil the fun, and jogged home with the child. When she passed the hillside leading to the educated youth site, she looked up.

The originally dark room was now lit by a bean-sized orange light. It seemed that Lan Yongtian had returned to the room at the educated youth center. With him around, there was no need to worry about the materials placed upstairs.

As soon as she got home, Yueyue quickly turned on the light, stood on tiptoe on the door frame, and kept calling Lanxin: "Mom, mom, can you help me check if I have grown taller?"

"I must have grown taller!" Yueyue said very confidently.

Lan Xin walked over with a smile, put her hands on her shoulders, and gently pressed her raised toes back down.

"Stand up straight and don't tiptoe, or you won't be able to see it."

Yueyue puffed her lips and stopped standing on tiptoe, but her back was still straight like a young poplar, and she stared at Lanxin with bright eyes full of expectation.

Lan Xin couldn't help but smile, her eyes fell on the marks on the door frame, "She has grown taller, Yueyue has really grown taller."

After saying that, he scratched the top of Yueyue's head with his fingernails, leaving a mark.

"Great, great, I've grown taller! I'll be an adult soon."

Yueyue jumped up happily and danced around Lanxin.

Lan Xin doesn’t really understand why children always look forward to growing up, when it’s obvious that the adult world is not fun at all.

"Mom, it's my little sister's turn!" Yueyue pulled Yingying over and motioned her to stand on the door frame. She said with certainty, "Yingying must have grown taller, too."

"Yeah." Yingying nodded seriously, then imitated Yueyue and straightened her chest, looking at Lanxin with the same expectant eyes.

"Wow, Yingying has grown a lot taller too. You've all grown taller!"

After getting Lan Xin's answer, the two sisters were overjoyed.

Chirping, "I will tell Lingling the good news tomorrow!"
