After Luo Ziling carefully checked the health of Jin Fangliang and his son, he was dismayed to find that they had quite a few health issues.
They both had congenital diseases.
Old Man Jin had mild poliomyelitis, congenital heart disease, as well as high blood pressure, cataracts, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Besides the congenital diseases, Jin Fangliang was relatively fine.
At the mont, Luo Ziling couldn't provide acupuncture treatnt for them, and only instructed them to find a way to seek treatnt as soon as possible.
He prescribed several prescriptions for the father and son, instructing them to take the dicine for a period before discussing further.
After giving these instructions, Luo Ziling smiled and told them that he was going into the orchard to pick cherries and eat them.
Jin Fangliang and Old Man Jin wanted to help, but Luo Ziling stopped them.
"Everyone can pick freely, you don't need to bother!" With that, he didn't pay further attention to the father and son and headed straight into the orchard.
In Old Man Jin's orchard, there were about a hundred cherry trees, and the sight of all those red cherries was very enticing.
When Luo Ziling found Luo Yuqing, Yang Qingyin, and Dai Shulan, who had gone into the orchard earlier, they had already been picking for quite so ti.
"I'm stuffed, but I still want to eat, what should I do?" Seeing Luo Ziling approaching, Yang Qingyin said to him with a pitiful look, "Honestly, the freshly picked fruit tastes so much better than what you buy in the store. It's very sweet and delicious. You should try it."
With that, she handed Luo Ziling the basket in her hand, letting him taste the fruit she had picked.
"I'd better pick them myself; I can't take away your hard work." Luo Ziling laughed and picked a few cherries from a nearby tree, popping them into his mouth while saying to the three won beside him, "Feel free to eat and pick as much as you want. Anyway, I own these fruits now. In the next few years, as long as you want to eat, just co over. It's free for you."
"What's going on?" Luo Yuqing imdiately sensed sothing and asked Luo Ziling warily, "You didn't buy the orchard, did you?"
"I bought the fruit production for ten years." Luo Ziling laughed and explained the deal he had struck with Old Man Jin and his son.
"There's always a difference with a tycoon," Yang Qingyin joked with a smile, "Right off the bat, it's a million. But, honestly, your decision is quite nice, we fully support it. We can have fresh fruits every year, and we can co here under the excuse of fruit picking for fun."
"During blooming season, it's also nice to co and enjoy the flowers." Luo Yuqing smiled and then said to Luo Ziling, "Looks like I'm the one in charge of signing the agreent with them again?"
"Who else but you would be in charge?" Luo Ziling gave Luo Yuqing a wry look and continued picking cherries.
"You gain a good reputation for your good deeds, while I do the hard work for you. That's really unfair." Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at Luo Ziling with so dissatisfaction, "Being your sister is quite exhausting."
Before Luo Ziling could reply, she continued, "I'm done picking. I'm going to post on Weibo right away to tell your fans about this, so they can give you a thumbs-up. I'm sure once the post is up, more people will be willing to help them. This year's fruits won't be counted toward your million; we'll start counting the ten-year yield from next year. This year, there will definitely be many volunteers to pick, giving them a chance to make so money first."
"Not a bad idea. You go and talk to them." Luo Ziling didn't object.
Luo Yuqing also gave up on continuing to pick. She was already full and found fruit picking quite exhausting, so she wanted to take a break.
Luo Ziling, on the other hand, continued picking cherries with Yang Qingyin and Dai Shulan. Eventually, he ended up being the only one picking, while the two won sat or stood to rest, saying they were tired after picking and eating.
Cheng Binbin, Yang Ying, and Zhao Lijing were quite sensible and didn't co over to make a scene. Without Luo Ziling around, they felt awkward to co over and get closer to Luo Yuqing, Yang Qingyin, and others.
Having grown up in Tianshan, Luo Ziling was quite good at climbing and picked fruits much faster than others.
After picking a few baskets of cherries, he took a break and went to chat with Ding Zhongming.
When Luo Ziling ntioned that he had contracted the fruit production of Old Man Jin's orchard for ten years, Ding Zhongming was surprised.
He had plans to ask the town's people to organize and send a few people to help with picking and sales every fruit season, but Luo Ziling's considerations were more comprehensive. He also shared his plans imdiately, stating he would arrange for people to help with the picking and transport, aiming to lessen the labor load for Old Man Jin and his son.
After explaining his plans, Ding Zhongming jokingly said, "You've given them a million, so they'll soon be able to build a new house. I'm guessing they'll be able to move in before the New Year."
"Actually, being rembered gratefully by a few people in one's life is quite an accomplishnt," Luo Ziling replied with a smile, "By helping others, you might end up with many people willing to help you. In life, many things should not be asured by profit. Don't you think so, Mayor Ding?"
Ding Zhongming thought that Luo Ziling's words had a deeper aning, and quickly agreed, "Yes, helping others is sotis helping yourself, I agree with that very much."
"We'll need to trouble you to host us during our stay in Yuezhou these days. If Mayor Ding cos to Yanjing in the future, please let know so that I can reciprocate and show you the local hospitality."
"Haha!" Ding Zhongming patted Luo Ziling on the shoulder and laughed, "Those are very kind words, Mr. Luo. As your esteed guests, we will certainly take good care of you when you co to Yuezhou. We hope that through your hands, you can capture the scenery and culture of Yuezhou. Frankly, you are a Yuezhou native; you're the real host in Yuezhou, and I'm just a guest who can't stay for many years."
"That's true!" Luo Ziling nodded, "In a few years, I might have to call you Governor Ding or Minister Ding, haha!"
Hearing this, Ding Zhongming felt a surge of emotion and said, taking the opportunity, "Mr. Luo, you know it's the hardest for us grassroots workers to get things done, even with achievents, if not recognized by others, it's hard to be appreciated. Coming from a humble background, reaching this position is already rare; wanting to advance further is too difficult."
"Who knows!" Luo Ziling smiled mysteriously at Ding Zhongming, "Opportunities always go to those who are prepared."
"I hope Mr. Luo can lend a hand!" Ding Zhongming solemnly expressed his wishes, "I would be most grateful."
"When there's a chance, we can talk slowly!" Luo Ziling smiled, "Anyway, I'm definitely staying in Yuezhou for a few days this ti."
"Great!"
