Xu Yiyi waited until Lu Chuanbai finished his phone call before walking in.
"Dad, did you manage to order the turf?" Xu Yiyi asked politely.
Seeing that it was Xu Yiyi, Lu Chuanbai's face softened a bit. He shook his head with a bitter smile. "Not yet. Why do you ask?"
"I've got a great idea. We can use wheat seedlings instead of turf. And wheat seedlings germinate very quickly. As long as we keep them warm, three days will be enough!"
Xu Yiyi said confidently.
Lu Chuanbai couldn't help being slightly stunned. There was a hint of disbelief in his tone. "Are you sure?"
"Of course. I did this experiment in kindergarten."
Although Xu Yiyi's chubby baby - faced still looked childish, his expression was full of earnestness.
"Okay, Dad will give it a try."
Lu Chuanbai didn't dismiss Xu Yiyi just because he was a child. Instead, he seriously considered his suggestion.
"Great! Dad, try it quickly. It will definitely work!"
Xu Yiyi was overjoyed that he could help Lu Chuanbai.
In Xu Yiyi's mind, Lu Chuanbai was an idol, a man who could handle anything. And now that he could help his idol, it meant that he had grown up!
Lu Chuanbai and Xu Yiyi seriously consulted a teacher from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences together. They confirmed that wheat seedlings could grow rapidly under sufficient temperature conditions, and decided to use wheat seedlings instead of turf.
Lu Chuanbai hurriedly took a couple of mouthfuls of food and was about to go out. Xu Qingqing found a thick coat for him and told him to come back early.
"It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold."
"I know." Lu Chuanbai happily picked up Xu Yiyi and spun him around, then gave him a big kiss on the face.
"Thanks to Xu Yiyi for coming up with this idea. Otherwise, I would have had a hard time."
After saying that, Lu Chuanbai left happily.
The looks in Xu Qingqing and Xu An'an's eyes were also full of pride as they kept praising Xu Yiyi.
"Yiyi is so smart. You've helped your dad a great deal."
"Brother, you're so awesome! How come I didn't think of it?"
Xu An'an shook Xu Yiyi's hand on one side. Her purple - grape - like eyes were full of admiration. She was definitely a big brother fan.
"Come on. I just happened to think of it."
Xu Yiyi smiled modestly and pinched Xu An'an's nose to tease her.
"An'an is still young. When you grow up, you'll be as smart as brother."
"Okay!" Xu An'an took it to heart and nodded seriously. "I'll eat more and grow taller quickly."
Seeing the loving interaction between the siblings, Xu Qingqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The two children were born together, only a few minutes apart, but Xu Yiyi always seemed several years more mature than Xu An'an.
"Alright, go and have your meal quickly."
Lu Chuanbai rushed back to the construction site in a hurry and told the frowning Lao Zhang to quickly buy some high - quality wheat seeds.
Lao Zhang looked utterly confused when he heard Lu Chuanbai wanted to buy wheat seeds. "Mr. Lu, shouldn't we be solving the turf problem now? Why do we need to buy wheat seeds?"
"Of course we're using wheat seeds to replace the turf."
Lu Chuanbai beamed with a smile, and his eyes were filled with undisguised pride. "This is a method my son taught me. Isn't he smart?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhang kept praising.
"This is really a good idea. I farmed in my hometown for so many years when I was young and didn't think of it. I didn't expect your son to know!"
"How old is your son?"
"My son is not even five years old. He just started kindergarten." There was so much pride in Lu Chuanbai's tone that it was as if he wanted to write "My son is the best in the world" on his face.
It was the first time Lao Zhang had seen Lu Chuanbai so emotionally affected. Usually, it was only when Lu Chuanbai was extremely angry.
It seemed that having a good family really could make a man gentle.
"Okay, I'll contact my friend right now. I can buy the best wheat seeds from him."
Lao Zhang quickly went to contact his friend.
Gao Bo, who came to help, yawned and saw Lu Chuanbai smiling to himself. He stepped forward to say hello. "Mr. Lu, what are you smiling about?"
Lu Chuanbai came to his senses and quickly explained to Gao Bo. "Do you know who came up with this idea? It was Yiyi. Isn't my son a little genius?"
Gao Bo: "..."
Hearing Lu Chuanbai showing off his son again, Gao Bo let out a bitter laugh.
"Mr. Lu, you already told me this when you called me just now..."
There was no need to keep showing off his son to him, right?
He knew he was a single dog and had never even had a girlfriend...
Hearing this, Lu Chuanbai laughed awkwardly and tried to brush it off. "Did I say that? I can't remember. I don't think so."
"I'd better go and see if Uncle Zhang needs my help." Gao Bo forced a smile on his face and turned away.
Uncle Zhang made a series of phone calls overnight and bought a batch of wheat seeds at a high price and transported them back to the wasteland.
Gao Bo had someone find a large bathtub to hold the wheat seeds. He filled it with warm water and soaked the wheat seeds in it.
As long as the wheat seeds were soaked overnight, they could be buried in the soil the next day and covered with plastic wrap to keep them warm.
Lu Chuanbai also worked with the workers. It was almost dawn the next day before he was ready to go home and rest.
After Lu Fenglin returned to the company, he asked his assistant, Ding Haoran, to find out about Lu Chuanbai's current situation.
Hearing that Lu Chuanbai didn't come to the company today, a smug sneer appeared on Lu Fenglin's face.
It seemed that he was in a complete mess because of the turf problem. It really made him feel relieved.
Lu Chuanbai slept at home for a whole morning and didn't get up until 1 p.m. He ate the sandwich Xu Qingqing made for him and didn't really want to go to the company.
Just thinking about seeing Lu Fenglin's annoying face at the company made Lu Chuanbai want to stay at home and rest.
However, Lu Chuanbai didn't idle at home. He received the news that Wang Chengxiang was going abroad to settle down, so he made an appointment with a private detective abroad to keep an eye on Wang Chengxiang.
Lu Chuanbai wanted to continue investigating the cause of his mother's death back then.
And why Lu Fenglin's mother had had a car accident out of the blue, and how it had even threatened his own life.
These were all things Lu Chuanbai wanted to figure out, and the common person involved in both cases was Wang Chengxiang.
Wang Chengxiang was the key to both things.
Xu Qingqing originally wanted to stay with Lu Chuanbai, but then she received a call from her father. There was an urgent matter that needed her help.
Xu Qingqing rushed back to the Xu family home and found the house in a complete mess. The sofa and coffee table were in disarray.
Xu's father was sitting on the sofa in a rare state of dejection, his head in his hands. Xu Qingqing could feel the despair radiating from him.
Xu's mother was sitting beside her husband, constantly comforting him. "Let them take it. It's already been given away, and there's no way to get it back. Just let it go."
