Chapter 25 Eighteen Seeds
Each one is different.
Xu Yucheng was interested in this and pointed, "Why is this different from the others?"
The clerk followed her gaze and introduced with a smile, "This is called Eighteen Seeds. It is made up of eighteen different beads, each with a different meaning."
The clerk picked it up and said, "I heard it can help people avoid disasters and difficulties and ensure safety."
To ensure safety, Xu Yucheng calmed down and said, "Then I'll take this one."
After she finished speaking, the clerk pulled her aside and whispered, "Little sister, Eighteen Seeds are indeed a good thing, but you have to go to the temple to ask for them. The temple can help you consecrate them, and they will be more effective in protecting your safety. The owner of the Eighteen Seeds in our store said that they have been consecrated, but I don't believe it. After all, it is more sincere to go to the temple in person to ask for this kind of thing."
Xu Yucheng was quite surprised to hear this. The clerk actually told her not to buy it. After being surprised, she felt grateful. It seemed that things like peace would be more effective if you prayed for them in a temple.
At this moment she smiled and said, "I understand, thank you sister."
She looked at the string of eighteen seeds again, memorized it, turned around and went to the cashier to put the item down.
While packing for the clerk, I also chose gifts for Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Wen.
After buying everything, he walked out carrying the bags.
When she met her parents, Xu's mother saw that she was carrying so many things and quickly took them over.
The family drove to grandma's house.
It took two hours to drive there. On the way, Xu Yucheng thought of the string of eighteen seeds and asked the person sitting in front of her, "Mom, I remember there's a temple near my grandma's house."
Father Xu spoke up, "Yes, I went there before when I was pursuing your mother. Why are you asking this, Chengcheng?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Xu's mother sighed as she thought of something, "Back in the day, I often went to the temple to play. Sometimes when it was time for dinner, I would eat right there with the monks."
Xu Yucheng's eyes lit up, "Is it very close?"
"It's not that close. It takes an hour to walk."
"Oh."
The family chatted like this, and when they were tired, the mother and daughter leaned back in their chairs and took a nap.

Xu Yucheng was dreaming and was woken up by someone while she was drowsy.
"Chengcheng, we're here, get out of the car quickly."
She opened her eyes and looked out the window.
A kind voice came from outside the car window, "Hurry, get out of the car and go inside. It's so cold outside."
Xu Yucheng wrapped her down jacket and got out of the car.
She called out sweetly, "Grandma!"
"Hey!" He is old and loves the hustle and bustle. "Come on, come on, go in quickly."
Several people followed him into the house.
"Grandma, where is my grandpa?"
"Your grandpa is taking care of his flowers and plants."
Xu Yucheng had a smile on her face. Her grandfather loved to grow plants and he treated them very carefully.
Inside the house, grandma called out to the person squatting outside the window, "Your granddaughter is here."
The little old man outside the window put down the watering bottle in his hand and walked into the house steadily.
His voice was deep and clear, "Chengcheng, come here quickly and let grandpa take a look."
Xu's father and mother carried things into the kitchen. The two old people liked quietness and bought a small courtyard in a small county town near the city.
"Grandpa!" Xu Yucheng ran over with a smile and took his hand.
"Okay, okay." Grandpa smiled and patted her on the back.
"Chengcheng, let's go out and look at the little flowers that grandpa grows. You girls will definitely like them."
"OK!"
Grandma shouted from inside the house, "Don't let Chengcheng catch a cold."
"Don't worry, young people are in good physical condition." A deep voice sounded.
Inside the house, Xu's mother smiled as she watched the two figures walk out. "Mom, I think my dad's health is getting better day by day."
"He's getting more talkative every day, but all he does all day is fiddle with his little flowers and grass." Although grandma said with disdain, she spoke with a smile in her tone.
Father Xu placed two bags on the table and said, "Mom, this is what Chengcheng bought for you and Dad."
"Orange."
Xu's mother responded, "Yes."
"Good, very good."
Outside, Xu Yucheng took Grandpa's watering can and squatted down to water the flowers, saying, "Grandpa, won't the flowers wilt if I water them in such a cold day?"
"The water isn't frozen, and this type of flower is cold-resistant, so it won't be a problem."
Grandpa was weeding the flower roots with a small hoe.
This winter, weeds and other things rarely grow because they are all frozen to death. Perhaps the old man is always restless and has to find something to do.
Xu Yucheng recalled that when she was a child, her grandfather always put her on his shoulders and took her to buy candy and go to the amusement park. Now, as time passed, she grew up, but they grew old.
After watering the flowers in front of him, he walked over and picked up the tools beside him. "Grandpa, let me help you."
The old man and the child were laughing very happily outside the house, and there was also a happy atmosphere inside the house.
Before I knew it, it was dinner time.
Xu Yucheng sat on one side of the table, and the two old people sat next to her, picking up food for her.
"Dad, Mom, please eat by yourselves. Chengcheng can pick up the food by himself." Mother Xu looked at the two old people helplessly.
Grandpa spoke up, "Chengcheng is still growing, so eat more."
Grandma agreed, "Yes, Dahu next door has grown so tall in just one year, and Chengcheng is too thin. He should eat more meat."
Xu Yucheng's eyes curved into beautiful crescent shapes, and the chopsticks she was using to pick up food fell into her grandma's bowl, and then she picked up food for her grandpa.
Adults are like this. No matter how old you are, you will always be a child in their eyes. They are always worried that you are not well fed or clothed.
Father Xu picked up a piece of pork ribs for his wife sitting next to him.
After dinner, Xu Yucheng helped wash the dishes and prepared to go out for a walk to help digest the food.
She took the scarf out of the suitcase, tied it up, picked up her cell phone and went outside.
At this time, the sky was still slightly bright, and there were scattered pedestrians on the streets.
She put her hands in her pockets for a while, and only took out her phone after she warmed them up.
Send a message to Zhou Yichen.
γHey! Have you eaten?γ
After a while, there was no reply from the other end. When I was about to put the phone away, a video popped up.
Xu Yucheng immediately checked the phone screen to see if her hair was messy, and only clicked the answer button after confirming.
She smiled and said, "Hello!"
Zhou Yichen just walked out of the company, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at the smiling face on the screen. Suddenly, his fatigue dissipated a lot.
"What is Orange doing now?"
Hearing his tired voice, her delicate brows frowned, "I'm taking a walk outside. Have you not eaten yet?"
"Yeah, I just finished work for the day and am getting ready to go home."
Xu Yucheng looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes through the phone and felt a little distressed. "You are still so busy during the Chinese New Year."
Zhou Yichen curled his lips and said, "I'll take a day off tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, so of course I need to take a break."
He chuckled, "Have you eaten yet, Cheng Cheng?"
"I've already eaten. Go eat now."
Zhou Yichen had already gotten into the car. He leaned back in his seat and relaxed. He stared at the screen for a few seconds and whispered, "Don't move. Let me see."
Xu Yucheng stopped moving where she was.
The two of them just looked at each other, no one spoke.
This continued until Zhou Yichen got home.
She spoke first, "Okay, go eat first. You'll be starving if you don't eat now."
"Yeah, okay."
She tilted her head and waved at him, her voice seemed to carry power, "Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yichen got out of the car and entered.
In the living room, Zhou Yan looked at the person who had returned and asked, "How was it today?"
"tired."
Zhou Yan continued, "It's right to be tired. It's definitely not easy to learn to manage such a large company. It will get better over time. If you want to protect the people important to you, you must first make yourself strong."
Zhou Yichen's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, "Okay."
