Chapter 971 Can you help me more?
Chapter 971 Can you help me more?
Shen Xuening didn't force it: "It depends on what you want."
The ginseng doll nodded: "Did you bring me anything delicious this time? How can I recuperate without snacks?"
Shen Xuening pointed to the entrance and said, "Of course there are, but this time they're puffed foods, like French fries. I saw you liked them before, so I bought you ten kinds this time. Take your time to eat."
"Great!" Ginseng Doll ran over and took the snack bag. "Want to eat together?"
"No, I'm not hungry." Shen Xuening waved her hand.
The ginseng doll ignored Shen Xuening and went to enjoy the food alone. The two little people who had just transformed couldn't eat it and could only watch him eat.
Shen Xuening asked the ginseng dolls: "Can they talk?"
"Not really yet." Ginseng Baby explained, "I forced them to mature quickly, so they don't know a lot of things. I can only teach them slowly."
"I see." Shen Xue Ning said, "Have you named them yet?"
The ginseng doll tore open a bag of potato chips and said, "No, I'm going to leave this difficult task to you."
Shen Xuening: “…”
After thinking for several minutes, Shen Xuening came up with two names: "How about Ren Xiaodong and Ren Xiaoxi?"
Ginseng doll: “…”
After a while, the ginseng doll uttered, "What down-to-earth names, nice to the ears. From now on, they will be called Ren Xiaodong and Ren Xiaoxi."
Shen Xuening was quite helpless. She wasn't very good at naming; it was a matter of talent. "Teach them well. I'm leaving first."
"Yeah." The ginseng doll chewed potato chips, which were crunchy, and waved to Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening returned to the room.
……
At noon, the principal of Hope Primary School called Shen Xuening and said, "Sister, I have good news for you."
Shen Xuening asked expectantly, "What good news?"
The principal smiled and said, "Everyone in our four villages is willing to help you plant sugarcane, sesame, and red beans, just as you said. Everyone is now preparing their own land. When do you think you can bring the seeds over?"
Shen Xuening asked: "I'll get ready and come over in a week."
The principal quickly responded, "Okay, okay."
Shen Xuening asked with concern: "How are the children's enrollment going?"
The principal smiled and said, "Most of the students have enrolled, but there are three girls who are already engaged, and their parents don't want them to continue their studies."
Shen Xuening frowned: "Engagement?"
The principal said regretfully, "Yes, they are both over fifteen years old. The man is willing to give a gift, and the family is planning to marry them off in order to save a pair of chopsticks."
Shen Xuening was silent for a while: "What do girls think?"
The principal's tone was full of helplessness: "Girls want to study and don't want to get married, but they can't do anything about it."
Shen Xue Ning was silent for a longer time this time: "So, did those girls get married within a week?"
The principal said hurriedly: "No."
"That's fine." Shen Xuening's tone became serious. "Principal, go find out who they were promised to. I'll come over and talk to them then."
The principal was very puzzled: "To do ideological work, you should go to the girl's parents, why ask the boy?"
Shen Xue Ning asked, "If the man breaks off the engagement, does that mean they can't get married?"
The principal suddenly realized: "Right, right, let's do this on two fronts."
Shen Xue Ning said: "That's what I mean."
The principal said, "Then we will be waiting for you here."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "That's too much."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xuening called Cao Wenyu and asked her to make arrangements. Shen Xuening would prepare the seeds herself and go over directly with the seeds when the time came.
As a capable person, Cao Wenyu will handle things for Shen Xuening smoothly, so there is no need to worry too much.
……
The weather is getting warmer. Today is another sunny day. The golden sunshine makes people feel much better.
Early in the morning, Shen Xuening received a call from Lin Yanfei, saying that his grandparents would arrive at noon and asked Shen Xuening to help take care of them.
Originally they were planning to send someone over, but the two elders firmly disagreed, saying that young people were in the way and very pretentious, and they didn't like them following them.
There is no other way but to let them come over on their own.
Lin Yanfei is Qin Zizhou's good brother, so Shen Xuening naturally would not treat the two elders badly. When the two elders arrived at the parking lot, she personally went to pick them up and take them to their residence.
As soon as they settled down, Mr. Lin handed Shen Xuening an antique box: "This is for you."
Shen Xuening was puzzled: "What are you doing for me?"
This was the first time that Old Man Lin met Shen Xuening, but for some reason, he felt comfortable looking at his daughter in front of him: "Your grandfather asked for this for you, take it."
Shen Xuening still didn't take it. It was unclear why she would accept other people's things.
Madam Lin took the box and stuffed it into Shen Xuening's hand: "Please take the things first and ask your grandfather later."
This grandpa naturally refers to Old Man Qin, Shen Xuening knew it in her heart.
Shen Xuening couldn't refuse: "Then I'll take it first."
"Okay." Madam Lin said, "Xue Ning, you go ahead and do your work. We'll clean up here ourselves. We'll go out for a walk later. If you have any questions, I'll ask you."
Shen Xue Ning said: "I'd better accompany you. I'm a little worried without my junior by your side."
Madam Lin smiled and said, "If you have anything to worry about, go ahead and do your work. We'll call you if there's anything."
"Then I'll make a call." Shen Xue Ning took out her cell phone and called Lin Yanfei.
The call was quickly connected, and Lin Yanfei's voice came from the phone: "Xue Ning, what's wrong?"
Shen Xuening said bluntly: "What should I do if your grandparents want to go shopping by themselves and don't want me to accompany them?"
Madam Lin came over and said, "Yan Fei, your grandfather and I are here for a vacation. We're not doing anything important. There's no need to waste Xue Ning's time."
Lin Yanfei was silent for a while: "Will you get lost?"
Madam Lin laughed and scolded, "What are you talking about, kid? We don't have Alzheimer's, how could we get lost?"
Lin Yanfei thought about it and said, "If you can't get lost, then you can go shopping by yourselves."
"Yeah." Madam Lin hung up the phone directly, and then said to Shen Xuening, "Xuening, go and do your work. We can take care of ourselves here."
Shen Xuening was a little worried: "How about I arrange a guide for you?"
Madam Lin still refused: "No, let's take our time and walk around. We'll get used to it after a few visits."
Shen Xuening didn't force it anymore: "Okay, call me if you have anything."
Madam Lin smiled and nodded: "Okay."
As soon as Shen Xuening left, Madam Lin took out a map and travel guide: "Young people nowadays look down on us. They really think we are like headless flies when we go out and can't tell the direction."
Mr. Lin laughed and said, "Exactly. Everyone looks down on others."
Madam Lin waved to Mr. Lin: "Come and see, where should we go first?"
Grandpa Lin looked at the travel guide and said, "First, let's go to Wuhua Mountain to see the Goddess of Flowers, then we'll go to Yongle and try the wild vegetables here. After eating the wild vegetables, we'll go to the fruit and vegetable store and buy some green radishes."
"Okay." Mrs. Lin packed up and the two of them went out.
……
Shen Xuening went to the office.
She sat down on the chair and called Mr. Qin.
Old Master Qin quickly answered Shen Xuening's call: "Xuening, what do you mean by calling grandpa?"
Shen Xuening looked at the box on the table, very curious: "Grandpa, Lin Yanfei's grandfather came to give me a gift and said it was from you. Is that true?"
Mr. Qin thought for a moment before reacting: "Oh, I said it, you take it."
Shen Xuening didn't want to accept the Qin family's gifts. She felt uncomfortable after taking too many. "I haven't seen what it is yet, Grandpa. If it's too expensive, I won't take it."
Old Master Qin immediately said, "How can I not want this? This is something Grandpa collected especially for you. Keep it."
Shen Xuening asked tentatively: "What is it?"
Old Master Qin said mysteriously, "You'll know once you open it. You'll definitely like it."
Shen Xuening hesitated for a moment, then opened the box. Inside was a piece of black jade: "Grandpa, is this ancient jade?"
Old Master Qin said, "Yes, don't you like ancient jade? Lin Yanfei's grandfather happened to have one, so I asked him to give it to you."
Shen Xuening was somewhat touched: "Did Grandpa exchange anything with him?"
"No, I just told him a few things." Old Master Qin said, "Xue Ning, keep it. Don't feel any psychological burden. Grandpa gave it to you sincerely."
Shen Xuening said: "Thank you, Grandpa."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xuening took the ancient jade in her hand. She felt a slight coolness in her hand, and it had a warm and moist color. It looked extraordinary at first glance: "People like them definitely don't have ordinary things in their hands. Grandpa Qin is so good to me."
She turned around and told Qin Zizhou about this.
Qin Zizhou was very happy and said that he would call his grandfather immediately to praise him and try to find more ancient jade for her in the future.
Shen Xuening gave the ancient jade to the ginseng doll. It happened that the ginseng doll had consumed a lot of spiritual power in order to "ripen" Ren Xiaodong and Ren Xiaoxi, so the ancient jade was used to replenish his body.
But Shen Xue Ning underestimated the effect of the ancient jade. After the ginseng doll practiced with the ancient jade, its cultivation improved a lot, and it looked like a child of eight or nine years old.
Shen Xuening asked the ginseng doll, "Do you look older as your cultivation level increases?"
The ginseng doll nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you don't know that it is difficult for us little demons to increase our cultivation, and it is even more difficult to grow taller. I have maintained the appearance of a three-year-old for hundreds of years, and now I have grown into an eight or nine-year-old. I never dared to think about it before. Xue Ning, thank you."
Shen Xuening smiled and said, "I will try to collect more ancient jade in the future. If your cultivation level increases, you can help me more, right?"
