When Cheng Su returned home, she carried two sacks of pineapples back from the entrance of Sister Wang's village, where ten pineapples cost only one yuan—ridiculously cheap indeed.
The minibus rattled out of He County and indeed all along the roadsides, she saw plenty of pineapples growing in the fields and many people selling them. It seemed Sister Wang hadn't lied to her; this was truly the land of pineapples.
After a bumpy ride close to her courtyard, Cheng Su got off the bus, hauling the two bags of pineapples into the yard before locking up; then she hurried home. Qi Taiguo had left a note saying he wouldn't be back from the army today.
Cheng Su breathed a sigh of relief, with him not around, she could just whip up some noodles and save herself the trouble.
