Chapter 211: The Su Nu Jing is a book about the origin of life
"Once Grandpa saw the handwriting on the letter, he would know that these two sums of money definitely weren't sent by Liu Jingyuan. He has always been cautious and would definitely not dare to accept money from unknown sources, let alone money sent from overseas. He wouldn't dare to accept it even if he had a hundred guts."
Li Rong smiled and continued, "Returning it is definitely unrealistic. Handing it over is the best solution. It can not only ensure safety, but also win the favor of the government. It's a two-pronged approach."
He grew up in the Liu family and knew the temperaments of the two elders very well, otherwise he would not be able to play such a big game.
"You have more tricks than honeycomb briquettes, and you're sure to harm anyone you meet!"
Luo Xinxin gave a thumbs up and praised.
"It's not a big deal to have more tricks, as long as I have more than you."
Li Rong replied and scooped a wonton from her bowl to eat.
"What does it mean if you have more than me?" Luo Xinxin didn't understand for a moment.
"That way I can harm you every time."
After saying this, Li Rong smiled proudly. He had laid so much groundwork before just to return the favor.
Luo Xinxin gritted her teeth and pinched the soft flesh on his waist, twisting it vigorously several times. Li Rong ate the wontons without changing his expression, and even poured all the wontons in her bowl into his own.
"I just spit."
Luo Xinxin deliberately disgusted him.
"I've already kissed you, I don't mind!"
Li Rong scooped a spoonful of wontons into his mouth without changing his expression, and ate it with relish.
"rogue!"
Luo Xinxin pinched it hard and rolled her eyes in annoyance. She was even more shameless than someone from later generations like her.
"The book says that women only like men who are a bit rogue."
Li Rong responded seriously that he had read a lot of books and learned a lot of new knowledge during his two months in Hong Kong Island, including this sentence.
And after his personal certification, this statement is correct.
Because every time they kissed, as long as he was a little bit rogue, Luo Xinxin would be passionate. If he didn't have a rock-hard perseverance, he would probably make a mistake.
"What kind of books do you read all day? Can't you read something serious?"
Luo Xinxin was so angry that she laughed. This guy had been studying in Hong Kong Island for two months, and his crooked logic had increased and his face had become thicker.
"Next time I'll read the Tao Te Ching!"
Li Rong answered seriously and finished the wontons and soup in the bowl.
"You might as well just read the Su Nu Jing!"
Luo Xinxin's mouth was faster than her brain. She spoke without thinking, but she regretted it right after she finished speaking. She really wanted to slap the guy in the face.
"What does the Su Nu Jing say? Can we find it here?"
Li Rong was indeed interested. The title of the book sounded very scholarly. He should be able to learn a lot of new knowledge, right?
"No, you should read the Tao Te Ching first."
Luo Xinxin secretly felt lucky that there was no Su Nu Jing in the inland area.
Li Rong, with his strong thirst for knowledge, asked what the Su Nu Jing was about. Luo Xinxin thought for a moment and said, "It's a book about the origin of life. The content is very profound."
Li Rong became more and more interested. The origin of life sounded very interesting. There must be the Su Nu Jing in Hong Kong. Next time he went there on a business trip, he would definitely look for it.
They returned to the Liu family carrying a large bag of shepherd's purse. In the past, whenever they returned home, Professor Liu would definitely be reading a book, and Mrs. Liu would either be knitting a sweater or busy with other chores.
The two old people were restless tonight. They stopped reading and knitting sweaters, wondering what the 1.1 million yuan was all about.
"It should be fine, right?" Mrs. Liu said to herself.
"It's definitely okay, don't worry about it, there will always be a way out when you get to the mountain!"
Professor Liu comforted his wife and also comforted himself.
Anyway, the worst result is to put another hat on him. If there are too many lice, they won't itch, and if there are too many hats, there's no need to worry.
"We're back!"
Luo Xinxin's clear voice was heard outside the door, and the two elders were immediately cheered up, as if they had found a backbone.
"Tomorrow I'll go weigh some meat and make shepherd's purse wontons."
Luo Xinxin showed them a big bag of shepherd's purse. The fresh and tender shepherd's purse exuded a unique fragrance, and the two elders' uneasiness disappeared a little.
Professor Liu mentioned the 1.1 million yuan remittance and wanted to hear their thoughts.
"No matter who sent the money, it's good for you and Grandma now. If nothing unexpected happens, you and Grandma's hats will be removed, and you can resume your work at school."
Li Rong gave them a reassurance.
For Professor Liu, what bothers him most is that he can no longer teach students. Although he appears calm on the surface in the past two years, he is actually very depressed inside. If he can resume his work at the school, Professor Liu will definitely be very happy.
Sure enough, when Professor Liu heard that he could resume work, a smile appeared on his face. He asked half-doubtfully, "Can it really be resumed? Will it be withdrawn again after a while?"
"No, it will definitely get better in the future."
Luo Xinxin's tone was very affirmative.
The two elders were finally completely relieved and in a better mood. Mrs. Liu picked shepherd's purse with great interest and planned to make more wontons tomorrow so that they could be eaten for several meals.
It was late at night, and the old couple tossed and turned in bed, still unable to believe that they could really take off their hats.
Professor Liu suddenly slapped the quilt hard and said with sudden realization, "It must be A-Rong and Xin-Xin. As they get older, their brains react more slowly. They should have thought of it earlier."
"Did they go to Hong Kong Island?"
Mrs. Liu asked in a low voice.
"They should be on Hong Kong Island on this business trip. The two bags of coffee they brought with them can't even be bought at the Friendship Store, and Ah Rong knows the boss's name."
Professor Liu analyzed in a low voice that he loved drinking coffee. Li Rong brought him two bags of imported coffee, which was his favorite brand. A few years ago, he asked his friends who went abroad to buy it for him, but no one went abroad in the past two years, so he had to switch to coffee that could be bought at the Friendship Store. The taste was a bit worse, but he had to make do with it.
"Where do they get so much money?"
Mrs. Liu became worried again. One million and one hundred thousand, where did the two children get so much money?
You're not going to rob a bank, are you?
"It must be a formal channel. A Rong and Xin Xin are not reckless children. Go to sleep. Tomorrow morning I will go to queue up to buy you fried dough sticks and salty soy milk."
Professor Liu, who had figured it out, felt sleepy. He yawned loudly and fell asleep mumbling.
Mrs. Liu tucked in the quilt for him, turned off the desk lamp, and went to sleep.
The next day, the Liu family had a particularly sumptuous breakfast, with steaming hot salty soy milk and soft golden fried dough sticks, which Mrs. Liu cut into small pieces and piled onto a large plate.
There was also rice porridge cooked to perfection, a plate of rose fermented bean curd, and eight fried eggs, just two for each person.
This breakfast is considered the most luxurious in Shanghai.
"What good day is today?"
Luo Xinxin joked with a smile.
"Your grandfather specially queued up to buy it this morning. Eat more. It's hard to eat it in the northwest." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
"People over there either have sweet or bland soy milk. They laughed at me when I asked for salty soy milk."
Luo Xinxin soaked the fried dough sticks in salty soy milk for a while, then picked them up and ate them. It tasted much better than eating them directly.
"Then you should eat more. You don't know when you will be back next time."
Mrs. Liu was very reluctant to leave.
"We'll find another opportunity to come back later. It won't be long."
Luo Xinxin's words were not meant to comfort her. She couldn't stay in the Northwest for long and would definitely have to return to Shanghai eventually.
She set a deadline of three to five years, and she was determined to return home in glory.
