Cherry wine?
That sounded great!
Jing Zhichen licked his lips and asked cheekily, “Do you have any? I want to try it!”
“Yes, hang on!”
Ye Tianxin went to the cellar and brought out an earthen jar.
The jar was not large and was sealed tightly with a cap.
Ye Tianxin placed the jar aside and went to the kitchen to fetch a glass. She then poured some wine for Jing Zhichen.
“The wine is pink!” Jing Zhichen shrieked.
He looked at the pink wine and promptly thought that the wine was for girls.
Jing Zhichen took a sip of the wine. The taste of alcohol was not too strong. In fact, there was less alcohol in this wine than in rice wine.
It was sour and sweet, but the sourness of the wine was not that apparent.
The glass that Ye Tianxin used was not a quality crystal glass. It was just a regular glass. However, the color of the liquid in the glass was still especially pretty.
“Tianxin, do you all have a lot of cherry trees around here?”
“I guess so. Every family has them. We are in the countryside, and the land here isn’t expensive. People would usually plant a few cherry trees in front and behind their homes!”
Jing Zhichen seemed to have seen a business opportunity. “In this case, Tianxin, let’s set up a winery here!” he suggested.
A winery?
Ye Tianxin looked at Jing Zhichen. She clarified, “Are you going to make cherry wine and sell it?”
“Not me... Us! I think that your winemaking skills are pretty good. We can go to Bordeaux and hire some winemaking experts to further process your wine. We can make cherry wine and package it. You know, it’s very easy to make money off women nowadays. We can get a designer to design wine bottles that women like and fill them up with this cherry wine. The girls in the city will definitely like them a lot!”
Ye Tianxin immediately understood what Jing Zhichen was thinking.
The wine was pink in color.
It was a color almost all girls liked.
If they set up a winery here, they would plant many cherry trees. In the spring, the mountains would be covered in cherry trees, and they could even hold a cherry festival to attract tourists.
Furthermore, they could also plant osmanthus trees to make wine.
“We can even make osmanthus wine. The color of osmanthus wine is also very pretty.”
Jing Zhichen did not know why, but he started to see Ye Tianxin as a woman, an adult, not a doe-eyed girl anymore.
“Yes, I will arrange this immediately.”
The wine culture of their country had an especially long history. There were cherry blossom wine, pear blossom wine, and apricot blossom wine.
They could also do the same.
Jing Zhichen was a very efficient worker.
Ye Tianxin thought that she should notify Di Shanshi’s father if there were going to do this. It would help Di Shanshi’s father with his work as well.
Things would be much easier with the help of the local government.
“Tianxin...”
Ye Tianxin had just thought of Di Shanshi, and he immediately appeared at the entrance of her courtyard on his bicycle.
“Di Shanshi, what’s the matter?”
“Something came up!” Ye Tianxin told Di Shanshi excitedly.
Di Shanshi glanced at Jing Zhichen who was making a call. He said to Ye Tianxin, “When are you going to talk to my dad?”
“Can I talk to him now?” Ye Tianxin asked.
Di Shanshi nodded and answered, “Come on then. I’ll take you there.”
Ye Tianxin told her grandmother that she was going to head to town and got onto the backseat of Di Shanshi’s bicycle.
Jing Zhichen saw Di Shanshi and Ye Tianxin from afar. He suddenly felt a little emotional... He seemed to be getting old.
‘Youth... Oh, to be young again!’ Jing Zhichen pondered.
“Grandmother, what kind of grandson-in-law do you wish to have in the future?” Jing Zhichen asked curiously.

Grandmother looked at Jing Zhichen and replied softly, “Someone who Tianxin likes.”
Jing Zhichen thought about it. What kind of man would Ye Tianxin like?
Was it someone like Di Shanshi?
That boy seemed a little shy, but Jing Zhichen must not underestimate him either. Who knew what that boy would become someday?
Jing Zhichen sat on a bamboo chair by the side and sipped the cherry wine in his glass. His beautiful eyes were filled with worries.
Di Shanshi took Ye Tianxin to the town hall on his bicycle. He then brought Ye Tianxin straight to his father’s office.
“Mayor Di, this is my classmate, Ye Tianxin. The thing I asked you about last time...”
This was Ye Tianxin’s first time meeting Mayor Di. Mayor Di was a little wiry, and he did not wear any glasses. He looked like an ordinary man.
“You’re Ye Tianxin, right?”
“Yes, Mayor Di. I would like to ask you what kind of documents I have to prepare to transfer the ownership of the courtyard to me.”
Mayor Di took out an A4-sized paper and wrote down a list of things that Ye Tianxin had to prepare. He then inquired, “Is your grandmother’s illness very serious?”
“She had an operation in the capital,” Ye Tianxin shared, “and there isn’t much of a problem. She is currently undergoing treatments and recovering.”
Ye Tianxin thought about the conversation she had with Jing Zhichen earlier. She suddenly felt that she should do something for the town of Jiameng.
She had lived in the town since she was a child, and everything here was special to her.
Even though she had been away for quite some time, she would still dream of this place sometimes.
Memories of her childhood were deeply etched on her mind.
These memories would remain with her for the rest of her life.
“Mayor Di, my cousin has a suggestion. I feel that it would help with Jiameng’s future development. If you have time, I can discuss with you the proposal.”
Ye Tianxin’s words confused Mayor Di.
“What kind of suggestion is it?” Mayor Di asked curiously.
“We can use the cherry wine that everyone in the town of Jiameng has to attract tourists. We can develop this town and the things that we produce locally, such as cherry wine.”
Ye Tianxin explained her thoughts simply.
“This is just an initial plan. I still have to do further research and gather data to make a case for this.”
Di Shanshi stood by the corner and listened to Ye Tianxin speak confidently and certainly. He suddenly realized that there was a large gap between him and Ye Tianxin.
While he worried about his grades for the college entrance examination, Ye Tianxin was already planning the future of the town of Jiameng.
Actually, the town of Jiameng had a lot to offer when it came to tourism. Transportation was also very efficient. If they could develop the town, it would certainly improve the town’s economy and the townspeople’s lives.
Mayor Di instantly understood what Ye Tianxin meant. “Is your cousin serious?” he confirmed.
“I am serious! Mayor Di, I was born in Jiameng and grew up here. No matter which university I study in the future, my roots will forever be in Jiameng. I hope better developments for Jiameng and all the world to see how great of a town Jiameng is.”
“I will wait for your proposal then.”
Ye Tianxin smiled sweetly and said, “Great, I will prepare all the documents tomorrow and bring the proposal as well.”
Di Shanshi attributed Ye Tianxin’s change to the capital when they emerged from the office together.
“Ye Tianxin, I think the capital had brought a lot of changes in you,” Di Shanshi remarked.
