Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: Good Eye

I don’t know how long it had been until someone coughed awkwardly, Su Qing came back to her senses, just in time to meet Zhou Hengguang’s ambiguous and unfathomable gaze. His gaze was like fire, like ice, so profound it seemed to draw one’s soul into it.

“Step back.”

Su Qing quickly withdrew her hand.

“Truly a heartless woman,” Zhou Hengguang seized the opportunity to tease, half-smiling, “Alright, I’ll drive. I’m taking you to a place.”

The scene that had just unfolded had everyone stunned, and nobody objected, including Su Qing herself, who remained silent.

Ji Fang and Zhou Hengguang switched places, the car started, and soon they arrived at the barren hill that had been allotted to the Su family. There was no path up the mountain, and even the base had changed, surrounded by a tight wire fence. The car had to be parked on the roadside far away, and it was a ten-minute walk from there.

“What happened here?” Su Xiu asked curiously as she looked around, “It’s been a long time since I last came here; they always said they would clear the barren hill to plant fruit trees, so when the fruit ripened, we would have something to eat. Unfortunately, I’ve been too busy to tend to it.”

“You still remember you were prepared to farm for a lifetime!” Su Qing teased with a laugh, looking perplexed at the wire fence, “Who put up this wire fence? Do you know?”

“I don’t know,” Su Xiu shook her head.

Su Xue quickly added, “I don’t know either, even though I’ve been studying in the county, I haven’t come back since you all moved away.”

Su Qing cast a questioning look at Zhou Hengguang.

“How do you know about this place?”

“I came here once with Big brother, the wire fence was put up by people I arranged.” It was done conveniently when the construction team was renovating the large Agricultural and Finished Goods Trading Market in the county.

The secret of the ancient tea tree on the mountain was very well guarded.

Zhou Hengguang had Ji Fang open the gate of the wire fence and led the way, with thorny bushes growing next to the narrow path, scratching the expensive fabric so badly it was pitiful to see. But he seemed to not care at all, not taking it to heart in the slightest.

The three sisters followed behind him, making faces at each other.

Su Qing helplessly held her forehead, once again sighing in her heart, this was his true nature. He wouldn’t care about expensive fabrics, and he could never learn to be frugal.

The down-to-earth, hardworking but frugal Lin Weiguo was all pretend.

When they got to the mountain top, the ancient tea tree was also covered with a layer of snow, not as lush and verdant as the last time they had come.

But it was still unlike ordinary tea trees.

“This is what makes this mountain unique,” Zhou Hengguang looked at Su Qing with a smile, and patted the trunk of the ancient tree, “Can you tell?”

“Is this… a tea tree?” Su Qing came closer for a detailed look, her mouth agape in astonishment before she exclaimed, “It really is a tea tree! What kind? How… how can it be so large?” If one didn’t see it with their own eyes, they would hardly believe that a tea tree could grow so big.

It’s unbelievable when told.

“Not bad discernment,” Zhou Hengguang snapped his fingers, an amused smile lifting his lips, “This tea tree is at least a few hundred years old, it’s not inferior to those famous national treasure-level tea trees. The last time I came with Big brother it wasn’t the right time; we missed the best tea-picking season, but afterwards, I arranged for someone to pick some tea, and it still turned out to be excellent tea.”

“This tree…” Su Xiu suddenly thought of something, “No wonder last time when we were drawing lots for the land division, Sun Yunyun desperately wanted to trade with our family, offering good land in exchange for the worthless barren hill no one wanted. It turned out she was eyeing this. Fortunately, Big sister didn’t agree.”
