Chapter 42

"Qi, I finally understand why all the residents of Lamona envy your good luck." Kate was actually quite envious too, because she now thoroughly understood the charm of this forest farm.

"I admit that the environment in Lamona is very good, but your forest farm clearly feels even more comfortable. It's a feeling that's hard to describe. Perhaps the vegetables growing here can explain it well; they are actually the most sensitive to the environment." Kate was right; looking at the lush vegetables, their good growth explained everything.

Qi Ping nodded proudly. His forest farm indeed had many things to boast about; it was truly a wonderful place. These vegetables, now growing well, not only demonstrated the excellent environment of the forest farm but also indicated its potential value, which had already created sufficient value.

"Look at King Kong; it's about to get punished. This mischievous guy is really hateful. There are already prepared vegetables over there, but it always thinks it's the best." Watching King Kong wobble towards the vegetable patch, the little guy looked around as if he were carefree; but it clearly looked guilty, which made Qi Ping find it quite amusing.

"The workers of the forest farm will come to drive away this hateful guy; it will thoroughly destroy these vegetables. So every time, it's not just for eating some vegetables, but more like a game. You might have noticed that it doesn't steal vegetables in other places, but it does so where there are workers." Sure enough, perhaps due to its notorious reputation, when King Kong approached the vegetable patch, Aunt Huang started scolding as soon as its little hand reached out.

King Kong ran away proudly; for it, this was an interesting prank. In fact, gorillas have a large appetite and a varied diet. They mainly eat fruits like bananas, leaves, roots, flowers, seeds, and tree bark, and they also eat insects, bird eggs, and even small animals.

King Kong is now like this; although it often holds fruits and eats heartily, it also needs some vegetables. Of course, this little guy is still young, so it sometimes eats meat broth or minced meat. But King Kong's main food is still milk.

Walking around the vegetable patch, this was Qi Ping's source of pride. The environment here was really great, and Qi Ping felt it was something to boast about, the most valuable part of the forest farm. However, Qi Ping knew that his forest farm had more than just these enviable aspects.

"Qi, when did you buy your Cadillac? It looks like a new car. If you had driven this car when you met Kate last time, you could have towed her car back. The repair shop charges a lot, even though Kate's car is insured." Sitting in Qi Ping's spacious Cadillac, Joshua looked very excited; it was his first time in such a good car.

The Cadillac isn't the top luxury car, but it's definitely not a bad one. Most importantly, for many Americans, a Cadillac isn't necessarily affordable. Clearly, a car that costs more than the annual income of some American middle-class families can be considered a good car.

"I plan to modify it a bit in a few days. This car is great, but it still needs improvement. I just got it a few days ago, and it needs some modifications to be perfect. I need a car fridge; the car has a lot of space, otherwise, it would be a waste of the tea tray." Qi Ping thought his car was great, but it could be even better.

"That looks cool, but I think it might be even cooler after the modifications." Joshua, a young guy, couldn't really understand Qi Ping's thoughts; being cool was the most important thing for such a young guy. But clearly, Qi Ping didn't see it that way.

King Kong sat obediently in the back seat, still eating happily. For King Kong, this day was still fun, even though it was just a car ride and not horseback riding. It didn't matter because someone was playing games with it, which was the most interesting part for King Kong.

"Wow, Qi. This place is really beautiful. I think you should consider getting a boat here; it would be very interesting." Kate seemed to resonate with Qi Ping, especially about the not-so-small lake in the forest farm. "I even think that if you could build a house here, it would be even more interesting. The only slightly regrettable thing is that the environment isn't as good as your current home, but the scenery here is better."

"I agree. In fact, this is a natural lake of more than ten acres. The lake water comes from rain and mountain streams, all of which are high-quality water. The only regret is that it's not deep enough for large yachts, but we can put some interesting small boats and speedboats here. I think it would be very interesting. Because this place is so beautiful, I want to build a house here, but I need more time." Qi Ping didn't hesitate to share his plans, although they seemed distant, they were not impossible.

Kate also got excited and started enthusiastically discussing the scenery and the layout of the house with Qi Ping. Qi Ping suddenly felt a bit surprised; he had heard that Kate studied early childhood education, but she seemed to have the skills of an architect and interior designer.

Although he was surprised, Qi Ping was very interested in chatting with Kate. Driving along the lake, he wanted to understand this land as much as possible. It looked a bit desolate now, and it hadn't been developed yet, but that was fine; it could develop gradually.

Joshua was yawning out of boredom, playing a game with King Kong, who also seemed a bit dazed. The adult world was too hard to understand; this was just an empty lake surrounded by weeds, and there was no sign of any beautiful scenery.

But Kate and Qi were deeply engaged in their conversation, sometimes stopping the car to point at the mountains or the lake, then getting back in and continuing to drive, looking for the so-called scenery.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew he was still young and couldn't offend Qi and Kate, Joshua would have really burst out. He came to the forest farm thinking there would be many interesting games, and it was indeed interesting, except that Qi and Kate were now discussing these damned landscapes. Joshua really wanted to ask Kate, "This is Qi's forest farm, you're not his girlfriend, and you haven't even been on a date. You can't waste time on these landscapes that have nothing to do with you!"

They chatted very enthusiastically and deeply. Qi Ping felt he had found a kindred spirit. He and Kate seemed to have a lot of chemistry, even though they hadn't known each other for long. Qi Ping had always had many ideas for his new house but hadn't talked about them much. Now, with Kate, they shared many views, which was a sign of chemistry.

But now, looking at the deeply resentful Joshua, Qi Ping and Kate exchanged a smile. They decided to go back, make a delicious barbecue, and play some games. This would be a more comprehensive vacation, considering the little guy Joshua, who still had many small thoughts and ideas.
