Married to an Officer, Had Babies—The Pretty Military Wife Wins Effortlessly

Everyone knows that Mr. Xiang San is cruel, bloodthirsty, and reckless by nature. He is a man that no one dares to mess with in Pingdu City. What is incredible is that countless women are madly in ...

Chapter 17 What Treasure

Every time after receiving help, this kind and grateful woman would do her best to send them some food to express her gratitude.

Although it was just some pickles and steamed buns, Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu knew that it was the best thing Wen Jiuyue could offer.

But that's all. After all, widows are always surrounded by gossip, and it's not easy for two grown men to have too much contact with them.

Now, the two of them have thoroughly understood Wen Jiuyue's superb cooking skills. Although they have been stewing rabbit meat for two consecutive days and the methods are similar, the flavors are unique and distinctive.

Even the sorghum flour pancakes that they usually made themselves, which were as hard to swallow as stones, became soft and delicious and even had a hint of sweetness after being made by Wen Jiuyue.

"It smells so good!" Even Xiang Huaixin praised it generously while eating with relish.

Leng You and Xiang Wentian sat aside in tacit understanding, quietly watching the two people devour the food in no time. In a short while, the pots and bowls were cleaned up.

"Grandpa Xiang, Grandpa Bai, this is for you." Leng You pointed to the bag on the kang.

"Girl You wants to give us something?" Xiang Huaixin looked at Leng You with a smile, his face full of kindness.

Although they could not imagine what this child who had suffered so much could give them, they could read seriousness and admiration in his pure and bright big eyes.

So, even if he was given a piece of wooden stake, he would gladly accept it.

"Oh? Little Youyou, are you going to give us a gift?" Bai Changpu also smiled. He had the same idea as Xiang Huaixin, and was also moved by the child who knew how to be grateful at such a young age.

"Yes!" Leng You nodded heavily. Seeing Xiang Wentian take out the ginseng that was still tied with straw and bark from the bag, he began to dismantle it.

Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu looked at Leng You fiddling with the bark that was almost as long as her height, and with great care, and they couldn't help but feel curious.

"What treasure did Xiao Youyou hide in there that needs to be so mysterious? Uh... ginseng?"

When Leng You removed the last layer of thatch, a large, old, and complete ginseng was completely exposed in front of people. Bai Acorus stared blankly with his eyes wide open.

"Is it really ginseng? Such a big ginseng... did you find it in the valley?" Xiang Huaixin was also shocked, but he reacted quickly.

"It was Youyou who found it." Xiang Wentian emphasized.

"This ginseng is of very good quality and was dug very completely. It must be nearly a hundred years old. It is a very rare top-quality ginseng." Bai Acorus was immersed in his professional judgment.

"What are these?" Xiang Huaixin pointed to the other three bundles.

You know, it's a cold winter in the north with the temperature below minus 30 degrees Celsius. It is incredible to dig up so much ginseng in such a season.

"Yes, they are all for you and Grandpa Bai." Leng You continued to disassemble the next ginseng.

Xiang Wentian also followed to help.

"Oh my god! This is a 300-year-old ginseng.

This child... this child... is truly blessed."

The sound of the white calamus is a little out of tune.

It’s not that he is ignorant, but he also finds it too unbelievable.

Even if you don't believe the legend that those who can dig ginseng are lucky and blessed, the chance that only one in a million can have is enough to make people drop their jaws.

"Grandpa Xiang and Grandpa Bai, two each." Leng You untied the bundled ginseng and spread it in front of Xiang Huaixin and Bai Changpu respectively.

"No, no, no, I can't take it. I absolutely can't take it. You keep it for yourself." Bai Changluo shook his head repeatedly.

"Girl You, grandpa wants to ask you, do you know the value of these ginsengs?" Xiang Huaixin looked at Leng You with a serious face.

"I know, but I have more. These are for the two grandfathers. You keep them. If you need them in the future, ask me for them again." Leng You responded generously.

"Ah?" Bai Acorus was stunned again.

"Child, listen to what Grandpa Xiang has to say. Keep these ginsengs for yourself, but don't let your father and stepmother know about it. Don't let anyone in the Leng family know about it...

After you have planed these, let Grandma Wen help you keep them.

I can use it to study for college entrance exams, or in case of emergency."

After a brief thought, Xiang Huaixin had already come up with an idea for Leng You.

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I meant.

Grandpa Bai appreciates your kindness and is very pleased that you are so filial.

With the knowledge you have learned now, you should be able to plan them. If you are not sure, Grandpa Bai can help you, but I will definitely not accept it."

Acorus calamus also made its position clear.

"No, I must let the two grandfathers accept it." Leng You raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him stubbornly.

She was unable to express herself further and could only persist with this more powerful silence and stubbornness.

"But..." Bai Changpu looked at Xiang Huaixin, his face full of embarrassment.

"Girl You..."

"Take this, and take the remaining two back." Xiang Wentian stepped forward and interrupted Xiang Huaixin.

He then placed two 300-year-old ginsengs in front of Xiang Huaixin and Bai Acorus calamus, then tied up the two younger ones and put them back into the bag.

This extreme tug of war finally came to an end.

"Brother..." Receiving Xiang Wentian's gaze that did not allow him to argue, Leng You quickly shut his mouth, otherwise he was afraid that they would not accept the two old ginsengs.

It was already dark. Xiang Wentian carried Leng You on his back and sent her back to Wen Jiuyue.

"I suddenly feel that God is very kind to me! Although my son is not very ambitious, he has accepted a talented apprentice. It seems that I, Bai Changpu, don't have to worry about having no successors! Hahaha..."

Leng You and Xiang Wentian had been gone for a long time before Bai Acorus, who was peeling ginseng, reacted and couldn't help but laugh three times with his head raised.

"Alas... it's really the environment that makes the person! But I would rather You girl not be so precocious, as long as she doesn't have to endure the hardships that she shouldn't have to endure at her age.

But... Oh! By the way, you haven't officially accepted Youya as your apprentice yet, right?"

Xiang Huaixin thought of the key issue.

“I’ve taught her for more than three years and we’re still not considered master and apprentice?

Old man Xiang, are you jealous?

Hehe... there's no point in being jealous, Xiao Youyou is the only disciple I, Bai Changpu, will have in this life."

Iris raised her chin proudly.

"I'm jealous of you? Don't forget, I've been teaching You girl to read and write over the past few years, otherwise do you think she can read those medical books?

When it comes to being a teacher, I am undoubtedly the best candidate.

Besides, you will have to go back to Pingdu sooner or later. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your last disciple when the time comes?"

Xiang Wentian's visit this time also brought some inside information. If there are no major accidents, they should be able to return to Pingdu soon.

In fact, the two of them had no attachment to this cold-hearted mountain village. The only thing that worried them was Leng You.
