Looking at the balance in my bank account, I quietly decided that after visiting Sarah, I would withdraw another 200,000 dollars for Emily. It would be a small sign of appreciation from me, something she could use to buy jewelry or anything she liked.
After making up my mind, I began thinking about what to bring for Sarah.
After a long moment of consideration, I concluded that vegetables from our own garden would be the best gift.
Sarah had loved my vegetables since childhood, and besides, I personally took care of the garden without pesticides or chemical fertilizers—they were much healthier than anything in supermarkets.
With that thought, I went into the garden and began picking vegetables. The frost these past days made them taste even better.
I collected several different kinds of vegetables until my bamboo basket was full.
After finishing with the vegetables, I remembered Sarah often said how delicious countryside poultry was, so I went to the coop. I caught two geese and two chickens, tied them with a straw rope, and placed them beside the basket.
