"I didn't realize it when I bought it, how come I bought so much at once?" Grandma Shen's words made Ningxia laugh out loud.
So this is how it is. I didn’t realize it when I bought it, but I was shocked after I bought it.
"Xia Xia, take your things into the house and pack them up. They are all bought for you. When you finish packing up your godfather's things, just give them to him separately."
Most of the things here were bought for them, so Ningxia asked Ren Jingxiao to take the things into the house. After putting the things away, Ren Jingxiao went to find his godfather.
Ningxia took out the gifts she had prepared, but the food and drinks were a bit too embarrassing to give away.
Finally, she and Ren Jingxiao discussed that no matter what the Shen family did, they must not embarrass their godfather.
They decided to give a wild ginseng as a gift. After all, it was something that not every family had.
"Grandma, Ren Jingxiao and I have also prepared a gift for you. Let me be clear, this is a token of our love. Okay or not, you can't reject it. You must accept it."
Ningxia came out with the ginseng wrapped in cloth. She knew that the Shen family was kind to them and didn't expect anything in return. She was also afraid of the push and pull and was afraid that they would not accept it.
"You kid, we're very happy that you and Jinxiao are here. You don't need to prepare anything for me."
Shen's mother smiled at Ningxia's cute look, and from what she said, she thought that this thing was not valuable.
Ningxia was afraid that they would dislike her. Shen's mother knew that Jinxiao was from the countryside and that Ningxia was an educated youth who had gone to the countryside.
Both of them are children with miserable lives, so they don’t care about the value of the things, as long as they are given with such thoughtfulness, they will be happy.
"That won't work. You bought us so many things and we didn't refuse them. You can't refuse our kindness either."
Ningxia handed over the thing in her hand. Shen's mother didn't take it seriously and took it after seeing Ningxia like this.
When she opened it, she looked at Ningxia and realized the real meaning of what Ningxia had said just now.
"No, this is too expensive." Shen's mother was not ignorant. This was ginseng, a life-saving thing.
Even if you have money, you can't buy it. I don't know where these two kids got it from, but they just gave it away.
"Grandma, we just agreed that you can't refuse." Ningxia smiled and put the things back into Shen's mother's arms. The aunts over there thought that this girl was really good at doing things.
Whether speaking or dealing with people, he is better than the average person and doesn't look like someone from a small place at all.
Several people felt that if this girl was given a position, they would all look up to her in time.
"Okay, then grandma will accept it. Since you gave grandma something, grandma also has something to give you."
Mr. and Mrs. Shen are old, and they may need this ginseng at any time.
"Although these things are not valuable now, they are still a memory. My daughters-in-law all have them. This one belongs to the fifth child, but the fifth child... but it's the same for you."
Shen's mother placed a set of emerald green jewelry in front of her, which looked like she had planned to give it to her a long time ago.
"Grandma, why are we giving each other gifts? The things you bought for us are already great gifts. We have mountains where we are, and wild ginseng isn't that rare."
Ningxia didn't want the Shen family to think that this thing was very valuable and that they were taking advantage of him, so he quickly found something to return it, looking apologetic.
"Silly girl, even if you didn't give me anything, this is what I'm going to give you. This is your godfather's thing, and it was originally meant for your mother... Anyway, it's most suitable for you to hold."
Shen's mother stuffed the box of jewelry into Ningxia's arms, and Ningxia was so scared that she quickly caught it.
This box contains imperial green jadeite jewelry, a pair of bracelets, a set of long bead necklaces, a pair of earrings and a ring.
Even if she didn't understand these things, she watched a lot of TV. This is the quality that can be placed in a museum in later generations.
Those that were lost among the people were sold at sky-high prices, and they were all given to her at once. She really felt like she was floating with them.
"Grandma, I..."
"I'll get angry if you say anything else." Before Ningxia could finish her words of persuasion, Shen's mother interrupted her unhappily.
"Xia Xia, you should accept it. This is my mother's dowry. Every child has one. It's worthless now, but it's just a keepsake."
Seeing Ningxia like this, several aunts tried to persuade her. They did have some, but they had much less than Ningxia had.
They all wear one or two pieces, not a complete set like hers.
But they don't care about this at all. Not only are they worthless now, but keeping them would also be a nuisance.
They have seen too many fine things in rich homes, all of which were gold and jade items that were broken and smashed.
These are just for looking good, they can't be taken out at all, and my mother gave them to them in front of them.
They knew that their mother would never hide anything from them and was very fair, so they felt very comfortable.
Ningxia didn't know what to say when she heard them say that this was worthless. These things are indeed worthless now.
But anyone with a little foresight knows the value of these things, otherwise Shen's mother would not have kept them so well. Even this box is made of high-quality wood.
Ningxia did not refuse anymore. She wanted to wait until she returned to Heilongjiang Province to find an opportunity to give it to her godfather. This thing was too heavy for her to hold.
When Shen's mother and the others saw that Ningxia had received it, they all smiled with satisfaction and chatted happily. Ren Jingxiao, Fifth Master and Shen's father were also discussing things.
"Jinxiao, what are your plans for the future?" Father Shen and Fifth Master talked a lot about future plans. Fifth Master has not relied on his family for so many years, and has not joined the army or politics.
Even if he returned to Beijing, he was too old to rely on his family to start from the grassroots level again. He still wanted to transfer the black market in Heilongjiang Province to Beijing.
Even though it is difficult at the beginning and there may be a lot of trouble, the Shen family supports him and will be his strongest backing.
He has no chance, but Ren Jingxiao does. He is still young, and his family can help him whether he joins the army or goes into politics.
"Grandpa..." Ren Jingxiao looked at Shen's father. Calling him grandpa was not as difficult as he had imagined, but both Fifth Uncle and Shen's father trembled.
This child has been quiet since coming here, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt, even if the girl accepted them obediently.
They felt relieved, but they were still worried because he just stood there without saying anything. Did this "grandfather" mean that he finally accepted them?
"Grandpa, I know what you mean. I don't have enough education. My godfather had to find a way for me to finish elementary school. I barely passed the exam and almost didn't graduate. I know I'm not cut out for studying."
"Nowadays, whether you want to have a long-term career in the military or politics, you definitely need a good education. I'm clearly not suitable."
Ren Jingxiao has always been very clear-headed. He knows that even if the Shen family helps him, he will not be able to go far due to his own lack of ability.
