But since the old buddy had spoken so, it was clear that it was not an ordinary matter.
"Ah Qing said he wants to collect some good-quality rice seeds for important use.
He was wondering if anyone in the village had any good seeds; he wants to buy some.
As I recall, this year's rice from your household was about the best in the village.
Do you have any rice seeds left?"
"Of course, I've saved some, quite a bit actually. Several families in the village have arranged to get rice seeds from me.
My in-laws said they wanted some seeds, so I kept two bags."
Old Wang beamed with pride upon hearing Grandpa Zhang praise his family's rice.
But soon enough, he looked puzzled, "But, what does Ah Qing need the rice seeds for? Surely he doesn't plan on farming?"
"I don't know either, but Ah Qing is someone who undertakes big things. If he needs rice seeds, it must be for a good reason.
It's rare for him to ask; we definitely can't hold him back."
