Chapter 409: The Vice President of Beijing University Visits
Xia Juanjuan looked at him and said, "Large appliances like washing machines, televisions, refrigerators, and fans."
Chen Rongsheng was stunned for a moment.
He knew that Xia Juanjuan was not a simple person, but he did not expect that she wanted such large items. Not only were these items expensive, but they could only be purchased with foreign exchange coupons!
"Do you... have that much money? This large appliance costs hundreds of dollars!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Money is not a problem. Mr. Chen, can you get me ten of each of these four appliances?"
Chen Rongsheng stared at her and said, "It's no problem to get them. But...these are all large items. How are you going to transport them? The shipping cost alone is a considerable cost. Are you going to sell them yourself?"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "It's mainly for sale, but I also plan to use it for my own family. As for the transportation, I have a way here, it won't be a big problem."
Chen Rongsheng said, "Well... OK. I'll go and try to contact them. I'll let you know in three days, okay?"
Xia Juanjuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
After discussing with Chen Rongsheng, Xia Juanjuan returned through the space.
She had no classes in the morning and stayed in the house the whole time. Everyone thought she was sleeping in the house.
Chunyan was reading something in the yard. When she saw her get up, she was startled and quickly hid the things behind her. She smiled and said, "Fourth Aunt, are you awake?"
Xia Juanjuan saw it all, but didn't expose it. She just nodded and said with a smile, "Yeah."
As he was talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door: "Is anyone home?"
Chunyan went over and opened the door, and Xia Juanjuan was shocked when she saw it!
It turned out that the person who came in was the vice-president of Kyoto University!
The vice-president has gray hair, wears glasses, and is gentle and has the bookish air of an older scholar.
He asked, "Excuse me, do Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue live here?"
Xia Juanjuan hurried over and said, "Are you looking for my father-in-law and mother-in-law? They are out for something and should be back soon. Would you like to wait for a while?"
After Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue returned to the city, they would go to the street office every morning to inquire about work arrangements, so they have not returned yet.
After hearing this, the vice-president nodded and said, "Then let's do it for a while."
Xia Juanjuan led them into the main hall and asked them to sit down. She then quickly brewed a pot of Biluochun tea and brought it over.
The vice president looked at her carefully and then smiled, "You are Xia Juanjuan, the student who ranked second in the economics department? At the beginning of this semester, you were wrongly accused of cheating. In order to prove your innocence, you asked the professors of various subjects to re-write the questions. You are the student who did very well in the exam, right? All the professors in the department praised you!"
When Xia Juanjuan saw that the vice-president recognized her, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Principal Lin, it's me. The professors were being lenient. If they had given me a really hard problem, I wouldn't have been able to solve it."
Vice President Lin smiled and said:
"You don't have to be modest. I looked at the question later and it was very well-posed, and your answer was also very well-posed!
The insights into the country's future economic policies and economic trends are very sharp! The future is limitless!
However, I didn't expect that you are the daughter-in-law of Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue. I heard that their child was lost for many years. Is he found now?"
As they were talking, Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue came back.
Xia Juanjuan went up to them and said, "Dad, Mom, someone is looking for you."
Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue were shocked when they saw this: "Principal Lin?!"
Vice Principal Lin saw the two and quickly stood up to shake hands with them, saying, "Comrade Zhenbang, Comrade Shen, I'm sorry that you've been wronged! I'm sorry that I came so late! It's just that things haven't been finalized yet, and I was afraid that you wouldn't be happy for nothing, so I came just now."
Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue looked at each other, their hearts beating uncontrollably.
Rong Zhenbang asked, "Principal Lin, what do you mean?"
Principal Lin smiled and said, "The school and the Education Bureau have agreed to resume your work at Beijing University. Starting next week, you can go to school to teach students!"
Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue had just heard what Principal Lin said. Although they had already predicted it in their hearts, they were still overjoyed when they heard the news came true!
"Really? The school really agrees?"
They go to the street offices every day, and actually set their expectations very low. At the very least, sweeping the streets is fine.
The main reason is that I don’t want to eat for free at home.
Unexpectedly, things developed much better than they expected!
Vice Principal Lin nodded solemnly and said, "If it wasn't true, I wouldn't even dare to visit you. I came here specifically to give you two your letters of appointment!"
As he said this, he handed the employment letter written in beautiful red calligraphy to the two people.
This is of course just a formality, and the acceptance of organizational relations, etc. will be carried out later.
Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue looked at this hard-earned letter of appointment and could not help but be moved to tears.
The suffering they endured over the years is truly in the past. They can once again become respected teachers and educate people!
After seeing off Principal Lin, Xia Juanjuan came forward and couldn't help but say happily, "Dad, Mom, congratulations! You finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel!"
Rong Zhenbang and Shen Wanxue nodded continuously: "Oh! I never thought that I could resume work in my lifetime! It's really... great!"
When Lizhan came back and heard the news, he was also very happy.
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "I'll go pick some radishes and cabbages and prepare some stuffing for dumplings. Let's eat dumplings to celebrate today!"
Chunyan and Xia Juanjuan went to pick radishes and cabbages together, while Lin Yuru and Shen Wanxue were busy kneading the dough, but the work of making the meat noodles was still done by Lizhan.
As Chunyan was pulling out the flowers, she couldn't help but ask excitedly, "Aunt, are those people from Beijing University? I heard you call one of them the principal!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Yes."
"So they are here to look for Master Rong and Grandma Shen?"
Xia Juanjuan nodded: "Your Grandpa Rong and Grandma Shen were originally teachers at Peking University. This time we invite them back to the school to continue teaching."
"Aren't all the students at Kyoto University college students? Are Grandpa Rong and Grandma Shen teaching college students? Grandpa Rong and Grandma Shen are so amazing!"
Xia Juanjuan looked at her and smiled, "That's right. They are all great people, very powerful!"
Chunyan was a little envious but couldn't help lowering her head in shame: "I can't even write my own name..."
Xia Juanjuan recalled the moment when she saw Chunyan secretly hiding something, but she didn't say anything for the time being.
At that moment, the two of them carried all the plucked radishes and cabbages to the whole yard, washed them with water, and then took them to the kitchen. They cut the radishes into shreds and steamed them in a pot. Then they squeezed out the excess water inside with gauze and chopped them again.
The job of chopping meat for stuffing was naturally done by Liezhan. Three parts fat and seven parts lean meat was the best ratio.
After chopping the meat filling, mix it with the radish and cabbage separately.
This is also a dish where 70% of the filling is meat, and the remaining 30% is radish and cabbage to relieve the greasiness.
Xia Juanjuan and Lin Yuru were responsible for the seasoning. After a short while, a large bowl of dumpling fillings was ready.
Lizhan was in charge of rolling out the dumpling wrappers, while the others washed their hands and were in charge of wrapping them.
Near noon, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Beibei and the twins also came back.
Xia Juanjuan asked them to wash their hands and join in making dumplings.
The person who rolled out the dumpling skins changed from just Li Zhan to Xia Shuangshan, Rong Zhenbang and Li Zhan.
Everyone worked together and soon made hundreds of dumplings.
Lin Yuru and Chunyan went to light the fire, and after the water boiled, they put the dumplings in.
Xia Juanjuan asked Xiaowen and Xiaowu to take the triplets to deliver the dumplings to the Fu family and Fu Nanzheng respectively.
When they came back, the dumplings were ready. One person served some and wrote about them, and everyone ate without saying anything else.
The next day, Xia Juanjuan went to Guangzhou again through space.
I first met Smith in a teahouse.
Xia Juanjuan took out a dozen pearls that she had cultivated in the space as samples.
There are sea water and fresh water.
One month of growth in her space is equivalent to one year in reality, so the six months she took out is actually equivalent to six years.
The larger beads are 8 mm each, and the smaller ones are 5 mm. The freshwater ones are whitish white and lavender, while the seawater ones are whitish white and golden.
Smith looked at the pearls in front of him with his eyes shining. They were better than those he had seen abroad!
Smith nodded and said, "That's great! How about this? Pearls of this size are twenty each, and smaller ones like this are fifteen each, how about that?"
