Chapter 85 Leaf Vein

The system had previously stated that their world could only pursue the technological path, and the newly discovered technology tree was a godsend, proving extremely useful.

She Ning clicked in with great interest, and then exited at lightning speed.

I dared not open my eyes, hoping it was just her imagination.

On the suspended system interface, a large, completely transparent leaf stands quietly in the air. Except for the faint green light at the edges of the leaf, its veins are still gray and do not light up.

Each vein on the leaf is marked with a different field, such as medicine, agriculture, industry, etc., and the required number of points is marked below each field.

Goodness, she was wondering why it only took so few points to light up the first leaf. She thought it was a big discount from the system and was waiting for it.

The world is full of tricks; after gold coins, there are diamonds. How is this different from the price-cutting platforms of later generations?

"System, you didn't go to some 'advanced training' place, did you?" She Ning complained.

Otherwise, why does this routine seem so familiar?

Cold and aloof ruler: ...

It shouldn't be blamed for this; it's just a transporter of blind boxes, not a producer.

Unlit areas cannot be viewed. She Ning studied for a while, but her thirst for knowledge overcame her regret over the points. Gritting her teeth, she spent another ten points and chose to light up the leaf veins in the agricultural area.

Fortunately, the leaves on this page don't need to be lit up from the beginning, otherwise no amount of points would be enough.

After the score changed from 804 to 794, the vein in the agricultural field lit up, and encyclopedias and various books were suspended in the air, categorized by subject, covering everything from basic crop cultivation knowledge to advanced gene editing technology.

On the left side, there is a search function and recommended books for beginners; on the right side, there is a lab button and a one-on-one tutoring function.

Looking at this portable library, She Ning took a deep breath and clicked the laboratory button.

Instantly, a virtual laboratory appeared before her eyes, filled with various equipment and reagents needed for agricultural experiments.

She can conduct various agricultural experiments in this laboratory according to her own needs, try to grow different crops, and study how to improve crop yield and quality.

Each use of the laboratory requires one point, and there is no time limit for each use.

In other words, as long as she can stay, she can spend one point to stay inside for one, two, three, four, or five days, or even a week or a year.

Having discovered the bug in the lab, She Ning planned to go to the convenience store later to see if there was anything similar to a fasting pill to exchange for. She would then find an excuse to go out and stay outside for a while before going into seclusion in the lab.

Nobody earns points easily; every point saved is a point saved.

system:……

I was careless.

The sparks of electricity flickered invisibly in the air before going out. Little Universe suddenly realized that it was just a porter and had no reason to concern itself with the main brain.

The one-on-one tutoring function is exactly what it sounds like. When you open the tutoring function, there is a row of expert biographies and introductions to their professional fields on the side. They are all top figures in their respective industries in various parallel worlds.

During her lessons, she can choose one of the leading experts in the field of agriculture for face-to-face instruction, learning advanced agricultural knowledge and techniques from her.

The course is paid based on the duration, with 1 point for every hour, and so on, with a 20% discount for multiples of nine.

Looking at the points required for each session, She Ning clutched her purse tightly.

She currently has over 700 points, which she initially thought was quite enough, but now it seems she'll be able to spend them all in no time.

However, these features were incredibly helpful for her, a complete novice in agriculture.

While she painfully spent her points, she comforted herself, saying that knowledge is a treasure trove, and exchanging points for knowledge is all worthwhile.

Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy. Only after solving the problem of food and clothing can we talk about other things.

This is why She Ning prioritized the agricultural sector first.

The yield per mu of major grains is still relatively low. Although it is not as difficult as it was in the 1950s, there are still many places where people do not have enough to eat.

In that parallel world of later generations, thanks to the tireless research of predecessors in various fields, they were spared the hardship of going hungry, and She Ning enjoyed the benefits brought by her predecessors.

Now that she has the opportunity to stand on the shoulders of giants, she wants to do her part so that future generations can also enjoy the same benefits.

Having little prior experience with bioengineering, She Ning decided to start by learning the most basic agricultural knowledge.

To get from the provincial capital back to Xiahe Town, they need to take a train for more than eight hours, and then transfer to another train in Kapok City, taking another two hours to reach the town.

Professor Li arranged for the return train tickets to be purchased, and she bought sleeper berths for She Ning and the others.

Amidst the clattering and whirring of the train, She Ning lay on the upper bunk with her eyes closed, seemingly resting. In reality, her consciousness had already entered the system, beginning a one-on-one teaching session.

"Shh, Aning is asleep, let's keep our voices down." Standing on the ladder, Wang Weiwei was about to call She Ning for dinner.

Seeing that She Ning was asleep on the upper bunk, she tiptoed down the ladder.

"She hasn't slept much these past few days. Let her sleep. It's okay if she eats a little later," Lin Qian said with concern.

With ten sets of test papers after class every day, plus other things to do, even though She Ning's body had been enhanced, after a few days, her face showed signs of fatigue.

This carriage was full of people from the training camp. Besides Wang Weiwei and Lin Qian, Gu Jiahao and Shen Xiaobin were also there, along with another classmate. After a week of helping each other in the training camp, everyone got to know each other very well.

Upon hearing Wang Weiwei say that She Ning had fallen asleep, they all lowered their voices several decibels.

Outside the aisle, train attendants pushed out carts selling snacks, soft drinks, and treats, while inside the carriages, women quietly read books or did their homework.

The scenery outside the train window rushed past, and amidst the rhythmic hum of the train, within the system, She Ning was like a parched sponge encountering sweet dew; she frantically learned new knowledge.

In her world of consciousness, time seemed to be stretched infinitely, and every minute and second was fully utilized.

The system tailored a learning plan that best suited her based on her learning progress and comprehension ability.

The teacher was a kind and amiable old lady with a full head of white hair. Her language was witty and humorous, and she presented every point of knowledge in a vivid and interesting way.

Through a combination of experiments and theory, She Ning mastered what originally seemed like dry and difficult content without even realizing it.

As the train approached the station, a vein on the large, transparent leaf glowed brightly, and She Ning exited the system and returned to the real world.

She opened her eyes and saw Wang Weiwei and Lin Qian standing on the edge of the lower bunk, leaning over her and looking at her with concern.

She slept for more than eight hours. If it weren't for her rosy complexion, they would have thought something had happened to her.

Lin Qian gave up her spot and reached out to help her down as she reached the last section of the ground.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything wrong with your body?" Lin Qian asked after she was settled into her sleeper berth.

Wang Weiwei sat down next to her and looked at her with concern.

Although her complexion looked rosy and radiant, and she seemed to be in good spirits, they were still somewhat worried.

She Ning shook her head, took their hands, and made them sit down together. She smiled and reassured them, "I'm fine, I just slept too soundly."

"In my dream, it was like entering a magical learning space where my learning efficiency was incredibly high, and I felt like I gained so much." Unable to reveal the existence of the system, She Ning spoke half-truthfully.

"I still remember what I learned. I'll organize the materials and bring them to you later."

Although the Science Tree can only teach knowledge in one field at a time, that is limited to using the laboratory and one-on-one tutoring functions. She used the search function on the biology interface, where you can search for any subject you want.

Mathematics and physics are also acceptable.

Wang Weiwei and Lin Qian exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. Then, they said in unison, "You're working way too hard! Studying even in your dreams!"

"No wonder my grades are so different from yours. I also want the ability to study like in my dreams." Wang Weiwei said enviously, holding She Ning's arm tightly.

"What do you mean, studying in a dream?" Gu Jiahao and Shen Xiaobin asked curiously as they pushed open the door after returning from getting hot water outside.

"Hey boss, you're awake!" Shen Xiaobin spotted the person sitting on the lower bunk at a glance. He pushed past Gu Jiahao and another classmate who were standing at the door, grabbed the hot water that had just arrived, and ran over.

"I just got some water, would you like some?" The tall man, who was over six feet tall, asked with a silly grin as he bent over.

During his time at the training camp, he had long since become a devoted fan of She Ning, always following her lead.

She Ning gently shook her head, indicating that she would not drink.

Wang Weiwei repeated what She Ning had said about studying in her dream.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaobin's eyes widened, and he looked at her incredulously, "That's amazing?"

But when he realized the person in question was She Ning, he quickly understood, gave a thumbs up, and praised with a mix of pride and humiliation, "As expected of the boss, he can even study while sleeping!"

Gu Jiahao chimed in, "That seems to really be true. The old folks often say that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

"I've had a similar experience," Gu Jiahao shared his own experience.

He had previously struggled with problems, and would sit and think about eating, working, and so on. Later, while sleeping, he solved the problem in his dream.

“I’ve experienced what you’re talking about.” Another classmate, who had been listening quietly, joined the conversation.

She Ning sat on the lower bunk, quietly watching them excitedly share their experiences.

Although it's not the same thing as what she was talking about when she said "studying".

A commotion suddenly broke out outside the carriage door.

She Ning and the others walked into the passageway and looked up. They saw a group of people dressed in military green walking through the crowd and heading this way.

Behind them followed the train conductor, a group of people with serious expressions, unaware of what had happened.

The man in the army green standing at the front noticed her gaze and turned to look at her.

Meeting his eyes, She Ning smiled and waved slightly at him.

Zhu Xiujin saw She Ning wave and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded slightly at her in response.

Their arrival made the already crowded aisle even more cramped, and passengers unconsciously moved to the sides to make way for them.

However, quite a few people still craned their necks and blocked the aisle just to watch the drama unfold.

The train conductor kept saying, "Excuse me, excuse me."

She Ning was also curious, but seeing their serious expressions, she wisely refrained from disturbing them.

The group of people in military green quickly disappeared into the aisle. She Ning also looked away and followed her companions into the carriage.

"I wonder what happened. The scene was terrifying." Back in the carriage, everyone talked about it, but the topic was quickly replaced by the train conductor announcing that they were about to arrive at the station.

After the train arrived at the station, everyone packed their luggage and got off. She Ning had little luggage, only a backpack. She Ning and Wang Weiwei parted ways on the platform.

Wang Weiwei and the others were going to transfer to a train to return to Xiahe Town, while She Ning headed towards the exit.

She Hongmei had asked Director Xia to pass on a message to Professor Li, asking her to tell She Ning that her family would come to the city to pick her up when she returned, and that they would be staying in the city for a few days.

As She Ning slowly exited the station with the flow of people, she was still thinking about what happened on the train.

Having spent so many time with Zhu Xiujin, this was the first time I'd ever seen him look so serious. I had no idea what had happened.

She has a blind box system, and there are also quite a few items in the storage compartment. I wonder if they can be of any help.

She Ning paid attention to the expressions of the people around her, but everyone was in a hurry and seemed to have forgotten what had just happened in the car.

Just then, she noticed an old man sitting on a bulging woven bag, resting not far away. He was muttering something to someone next to him, and her sixth sense told her it was related to what happened on the bus.

She Ning hurried over, but before she got close, she heard the old man say, "Hey, that scene on the bus just now really startled me. I saw those people in military green, they must be on some important mission."

The person next to him chimed in, "Yeah, I also found it strange. The train conductor was following behind, looking all nervous. I don't know what's going on."

“I heard there’s some important person on the train,” another person chimed in.

Important person?

She Ning couldn't help but recall a plot point from the original book: an important leader visited the south, inspected coastal cities, and subsequently established special economic zones.

It seems that this matter was finalized around this time.

Could it be that what she just witnessed was related to the special economic zone?

She Ning's heart stirred. If it were true, then it wouldn't be surprising to see Zhu Xiujin and the others here.

After all, the Zhu family is very powerful, and Zhu Xiujin is highly regarded by his superiors. At this time, his presence here might be to protect and support them.

Thinking of this possibility, She Ning couldn't help but feel excited. She never expected that she would accidentally stumble upon such a big event.

However, she quickly calmed down; this was not something she could get involved in casually.

She Ning composed herself, stopped thinking about it, and continued walking with the crowd toward the exit.

After exiting the station, She Ning walked towards the location that She Hongmei had told her to go to. Before she even reached the agreed spot, she spotted She Hongmei and She Ni in the crowd from afar.

They hadn't seen She Ning yet. In the crowd, they were standing on tiptoe, completely focused, their eyes fixed on the flow of people leaving the station.

"Mom, Xiaoni." She Ning raised her hand and waved vigorously at them.

Upon hearing the sound, the two turned around in surprise and looked in the direction from which the sound came. When they saw She Ning in the crowd, She Ni broke free from She Hongmei's hand and ran quickly towards her.

"Sister, I missed you so much!" She threw herself at her, blinking her big eyes, and snuggled up to She Ning's leg.

She Hongmei followed closely behind She Ni, walking against the flow of the crowd. She couldn't keep up with the small and agile She Ni and was a step behind her.

"How could you be so bold? There are people coming and going here. What if you get kidnapped!" Startled by She Ni's sudden action, She Hongmei poked her head and scolded her with lingering fear.

Human traffickers love to strike in crowded places like this, grabbing people and running away, leaving no chance to catch them. Although the city has achieved remarkable results in cracking down on human traffickers this year, many people still take the risk for this highly profitable business.

After scolding She Ni and seeing her head bowed in reflection, She Hongmei then turned her attention to She Ning.

"Xiao Ning, you're finally back! You must be exhausted from the journey." Holding She Ning's hand, She Hongmei looked her up and down, her eyes full of concern.

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm doing great." She Ning smiled and shook her head, gently patting her arm to reassure her.

"You've lost weight, you must not be eating well," She Hongmei said with concern, pinching her slender wrist.

She Ning was both amused and exasperated; there's always a kind of thinness that only your mother thinks you're thin.

"No, Mom, don't worry. I'm eating and staying well outside. Look, I've even gained weight." She Ning spun around on the spot, showing off her still-slender figure, trying to reassure her.

"You've gained weight? Let me see." Upon hearing this, She Hongmei reached out and pinched her cheek. It was chubby and felt nice to the touch. "Yes, you've gained a little weight, but that's good. It makes you look healthy."

"Mom, let's go outside first. There are too many people here, and it's not convenient to talk," She Ning suggested after looking around.

"Right, right, let's go out first, let's go out first." She Hongmei slapped her forehead, only then remembering that they were still standing at the station, and quickly pulled She Ning and She Ni towards the outside of the station.

“You must be hungry after such a long drive. Let’s go to a restaurant to eat first, and then go to the guesthouse to rest,” She Hongmei said as they walked. “After we’ve rested, we can go to the department store to browse around.”

She arranged the following procedures very clearly.

"Mom, I want to eat the boat congee that my sister bought last time," She Ni said coquettishly, pulling on She Hongmei's hand. "And the char siu rice noodle rolls too."

She couldn't forget the smooth texture and rich flavor of the boat congee. She missed it last time she came to the city, and if she couldn't have it this time, she really wouldn't be able to sleep.

“Buy it, eat it.” She Hongmei waved her hand and readily agreed. She looked at She Ning and She Ni and said with a smile, “These next two days, my main focus will be on fulfilling your wishes. You can ask for anything you want to eat or buy, and Mom will satisfy you.”

So extravagant! Did they find money on the street?

She Ni and She Ning exchanged a glance, then raised their hands in unison.

"Mom, I want to buy this little house."

"Mom, I want to buy this little house."

The two pointed to a small villa not far from the roadside and spoke in unison.

Upon hearing this, She Hongmei paused for a moment, then gently patted the arms of She Ning and the other girl, scolding them, "You two little rascals, always talking about unrealistic things. Let's look at something practical first."

As she spoke, she pulled the two of them along, quickening their pace and walking through the bustling crowd toward the restaurant they were heading to.

However, after taking only a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at the small villa that She Ning and the others had pointed to earlier.

"Do you really like it?" She Hongmei looked at them quietly for a while, then bent down and looked at She Ning and the others seriously, asking with a solemn expression.

When She Hongmei suddenly stopped and asked them with a serious expression, She Ning and She Ning's eyes widened.

Seriously? Mom is really considering buying them a small villa?

"Mom, I was just kidding. I don't like little villas." She Ning was the first to come to her senses, and she waved her hands repeatedly as she spoke.

She prefers courtyard houses, which are spacious and valuable; small villas are not her cup of tea.

“Mom, I don’t like the little villa either. I prefer the kind that Aunt Qingxu lives in,” She Ni chimed in, leaning closer.

Lin Qingxu moved into the city's first residential community at the beginning of last month. As one of the first residents, the property management company gave them many welcome gifts.

To celebrate moving into her new home, Lin Qingxu invited the She family to participate. Ever since attending the housewarming party at Lin Qingxu's house and seeing her new home, She Ni has been longing for such a house.

There's a garden downstairs for strolling, and the upstairs rooms are bright and clean with panoramic views. The balconies are also lovely, perfect for growing your favorite plants.

Custom-made furniture makes the room warm and comfortable. Clean tap water is available when you turn on the tap. The lights in the room are not dim but white. When turned on at night, they illuminate the room as brightly as day.

After listening to their words, She Hongmei seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, she looked away and touched She Ni's little head, who was hugging her waist.

"Let's go eat first." She didn't mention the house again.

She Ning and She Ni dared not mention it again, fearing that if they did, She Hongmei would think they were afraid to tell the truth because they didn't have enough money at home. If that happened, and she really gritted her teeth and bought the villa, they would be in big trouble.

She Ning knew exactly how much money the family had, and She Hongmei didn't hide it from her, since she was the one who kept the household accounts.

The dividends from the cannery, the income from the chain stores, and the income from the small restaurant, not counting the harvest from the family's land, mean that the family now has six figures in savings.

Currently, the price of a small villa in a decent location is about 700 yuan per square meter. A 100-square-meter villa would cost about 70,000 yuan. The price in the Linqingxu neighborhood is about the same.

For most employees who earn only a few dozen to a hundred yuan a month, this price is not a small amount. Therefore, most of the residents in Aunt Qingxu's neighborhood are overseas Chinese and Hong Kong businessmen, and occasionally you can see blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.

However, for the She family, who currently have six-figure savings, this house is still affordable. However, She Ning feels that it is not necessary for the time being. According to future generations, the housing market will take off around the turn of the millennium, and the most recent money-making opportunities are government bonds and stocks.

She Hongmei continued walking forward, holding the hands of the two people. When they stopped by the roadside to wait for the traffic police to direct traffic, she suddenly spoke up.

"After a while, when Mom has saved enough money, she will buy each of you a house you like, so that you can live comfortably."

She Hongmei was calculating the family's assets. She Ning was going to study in the city for high school, and She Ni had skipped a grade to fifth grade this year. Teacher Zhu said that her grades were very good and she was very likely to be assigned to Xiahe Middle School.

She can hire others to help with the farm work, but most of her business is in town. Going back and forth to the village every day takes too long, so she's been considering whether to buy or rent a house recently.

It just so happened that She Ning and the others brought up this topic today, so she just went along with it.

"Mom, buying land is better than buying a house." Seeing that She Hongmei really had this idea, She Ning thought for a moment and said.

"Buy land? That's a good idea. Land will only become more valuable." Upon hearing this, She Hongmei's eyes lit up. She Ning's idea opened up a new avenue for her.

“Yes, Mom, and we can build our own houses, whatever we want to build,” She Ni chimed in, feeling excited just thinking about it.

"Okay, I'll go back and look into the policies and procedures, and also see where I can buy land."

As She Hongmei spoke, a thoughtful expression appeared on her face, clearly showing her strong interest in the idea of ​​buying land and building her own house.

"However, this matter needs to be planned carefully; we can't rush it," she added.

“Yes, Mom, we’re not in a rush, we’ll take it slow.” She Ning nodded in agreement.

Not to mention now, even in future generations, buying and selling houses and land is an extremely important matter for ordinary people. They cannot be rushed and need to be carefully considered.

“Yes, Mom, and we’re living quite well now, so there’s no need to rush to move.” She Ni quickly chimed in, not wanting to put pressure on She Hongmei about buying land and building a house.

"Mom knows what she's doing." Seeing She Ning and the other woman looking at her with serious expressions, She Hongmei smiled with relief, the fine lines around her eyes from a lifetime of hard work slightly furrowed.

"Leave the house matter to the adults. You just need to focus on growing up healthy and happy."

She Hongmei gently patted She Ning and She Ni on the shoulders, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.

"Alright, let's go eat first. I know a restaurant with really good food. I'll take you there to try it today."

Not far ahead, traffic police directed the vehicles to stop. She Hongmei looked around at the road, and while talking, she pulled She Ning and the others across the street toward the teahouse not far away.

It was lunchtime, and the teahouse was bustling with activity. The aroma of food wafted through the air, making one's mouth water.

They found a seat by the window, and the waiter came over with the menu.

She Hongmei took the menu, looked at it carefully, and then used a pencil to mark the four must-order items for dim sum: char siu bao, shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, and steamed siu mai. She also ordered a bowl of boat congee and two bowls of char siu rice noodle rolls before handing the menu to the waiter.

After washing all the tableware with boiling water, they sat quietly and drank tea.

While waiting for the snacks to be served, She Hongmei and She Ning chatted. When She Ning said that she had won first place in the training camp, She Hongmei and She Ni both gave her a thumbs up.

She Ni was also chattering away, reporting on what she had done in the past seven days. The town had held a little orator competition, and she and her deskmate had participated together, both winning first prize.

She also helped her family harvest corn and took Xiao Huang out for training every day. Now Xiao Huang is very capable and can even catch mice.

On the day they harvested corn, Xiao Huang went to the field with She Ni and caught at least five big rats. That was pretty impressive.

She Ni said with a proud look on her face.

She Hongmei and She Ning watched her quietly and affectionately as she shared.

The teahouse was bustling with noise and laughter. The sounds of conversations at neighboring tables, children's laughter, diners calling for waiters pushing steamer carts, and the clinking of chopsticks and glasses blended together to create a lively and welcoming atmosphere.

Soon, steaming hot snacks were served one by one.

Char siu bao (barbecued pork buns) have thin skins and generous fillings, with an irresistible aroma; shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, with tender and juicy shrimp meat; egg tarts are golden and crispy, with a sweet but not cloying filling; and steamed siu mai have soft skins and fragrant meat, with a delicious flavor.

The boat congee is steaming hot, with a rich variety of ingredients and a smooth texture; the char siu rice noodle roll is tender and delicious, with the sweet and savory flavor of the char siu perfectly complementing the delicate texture of the rice noodle roll.

She Hongmei immediately ladled a bowl of porridge for them, saying, "Have some porridge first, it will soothe your stomachs."

"Thank you, Mom." She Ning took the bowl of porridge with both hands, picked up the porcelain spoon and took a sip. The porridge contained fish slices, lean meat, peanuts and other ingredients. The texture was smooth and layered, and it still tasted as good as before.

"Where did Xiao Ni run off to? Why isn't she back yet? The porridge will get cold soon." She Hongmei stood up and looked around for her.

"Hey, they're back." She Ning looked at the person carrying two steamer baskets not far away.

Holding the order form in one hand and two steamer baskets in the other, she walked steadily through the noisy, crowded hall.

"Mom, come and eat. I brought your favorite chicken feet or steamed ribs." After placing the food steadily on the table, She Ni removed the stacked steamer baskets to reveal the pastries inside.

Before she could even wipe the sweat from her forehead, she urged everyone to eat.

"That person isn't incapable of pushing the cart over, so why did you rush over to get it yourself?"

She Ning opened her backpack, took out a stack of folded pink tissues and placed them on the table, then took out a light blue handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

She Hongmei poured a cup of tea and placed it beside her.

She Ni picked up her teacup, took a big gulp, and then smiled at She Hongmei. She Hongmei poured her another cup, and after drinking two cups, she finally spoke, "That will take too long. She has already gone back twice and still hasn't been able to come over. By the time she arrives, we don't know when we'll be able to eat."

"Instead of waiting for her to come to me, I'd rather rely on myself," She Ni said nonchalantly, waving her hand.

"Try it, these chicken feet are so delicious." They're so tender and fall off the bone with just a touch, and the sweet and salty flavor is just right. It's the first time She Ni has tried them, and she's immediately amazed. No wonder She Hongmei likes them.

It has a completely different flavor from the braised chicken feet at home, and each has its own deliciousness.

She Ni tried the steamed shumai on the table, which looked delicious. She had never tried it before. After taking a bite, her round eyes widened instantly. Her mouth was filled with the aroma of meat. The meat pieces were firm and chewy, and the shrimp were smooth and sweet. Although it was all meat, the taste was refreshing and not greasy.

How many delicious foods has she missed out on?!

"I'm so full, I can't eat anymore." After burying herself in her food, She Ni slumped in her chair, rubbing her bulging belly. She looked regretfully at the remaining red rice sausage and pig's blood soup on the table and sighed with some annoyance.

Why doesn't she have two stomachs? Otherwise she could eat more.

She Ning and She Hongmei couldn't help but smile as they looked at her adorable appearance.

"You, you, people drink tea slowly and leisurely, but you, you fill yourself up in less than ten minutes." She Hongmei gently pinched her little nose and then put a hawthorn pill into her mouth.

"A-Ning, keep an eye on her. Let's walk back to the guesthouse and digest our food along the way." After finishing all the remaining food on the table, She Hongmei took the order slip to pay the bill.

She Ning held She Ni's hand and stood on one side of the door waiting for She Hongmei.

They strolled back to the guesthouse at a leisurely pace, where they put down their luggage and rested for a while before heading to the department store, as planned.
