"Sis, you have no idea, but my friends are all talking about Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables!" Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Lingye was very excited.

"Our vegetables are incredibly popular in school. They said they felt different after eating our crops. They feel inspired and energetic.

"Many students heard about this and decided to buy from our store during this holiday.

"Some of them found out I came from Taoyuan Village and wanted to befriend me so that I could source some crops for them!"

Mother Xiao, who sat in the back row, asked, "But when you go back to school, it's going to be the day of the exam. How will they have time to cook the vegetables?"

Xiao Lingye shrugged. "I don't know. In any case, I rejected all of them."

Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Brother, how about this? When you go back to school, I'll give you some crops that can be eaten raw like cucumbers and tomatoes. You can share them with your friends."

Xiao Lingye nodded. "Okay. But, Sis, how much do you plan to bring to school?" His sister's vegetables were delicious and had miraculous effects. His dorm mates often joked, "Ye, your sister's crops are like ginseng. Perhaps, they even have better effects than ginseng!"

Xiao Lingyu thought and said, "I'll bring 200 tomatoes, 200 cucumbers, 200 white radishes, and 200 carrots."

"Ah? So much?" Xiao Lingye said, "Sis, do we need that many? That is already 800 catties. We don't even have that many students sitting for the university entrance exam. How do you plan to sell them? One by one? Or are you going to give them away for free?"

Xiao Lingyu laughed, "Actually, that's not a bad idea! I'll leave this to you. You can decide who you want to give them to and how much!" That way, those students would owe Xiao Lingye a small favor.

"Okay!" Xiao Lingye nodded.

Mother Xiao and the others had no objections at all. These things would nab around two thousand RMB when sold, but they were glad to help the students. The university entrance exam was an important turning point for many students. Once they survived this, most would have a bright future. They would change the country and world.

Xiao Lingyu knew helping them now would be a good thing for Xiao Lingye. Connections were important in life.

The Xiao Family didn't ask Xiao Lingye about his studies because they knew these questions would only add to his pressure.

Back when Xiao Lingyu took the exam, she treated it like it was nothing special. Xiao Lingyu's parents and the others never placed any pressure on her by peppering her with questions. They only cooked delicious food for Xiao Lingyu when she returned home to replenish her energy. They were doing the same for Xiao Lingye.

Even if Xiao Lingye didn't do well, he could repeat the exam next year.

Xiao Lingyu remembered that in her previous life, her brother managed to get the science top scorer during his repeat exam. However, Xiao Lingyu believed her brother wouldn't need to sit for the repeat exam this time. He'd ace it the first time. With his results, getting into Beijing University should be no problem at all. So, she was not worried.

When they returned home, Father Xiao told them that three more people came to Taoyuan Village to buy vegetables. After the lesson yesterday, Father Xiao didn't sell them too much but only 50 catties each. 50 catties was enough for a big family to last for three days.
