So Shen Mingxi was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.
Feng Anchen on the other end lowered his voice and continued to speak in Shen Mingxi's mind, "Xiaoxi, my grandfather often told me that there are always people better than you, and there are always things better than you. No matter when, you should have a sense of awe for certain things, certain people, and even the natural world. Only then can you go a long way. Xiaoxi, you are so smart, I'm sure you understand what I say..."
Shen Mingxi blinked, her clear eyes sparkled, her brows relaxed, at this moment she really understood.
She didn't know why, but a sour and astringent feeling surged in her heart in advance. The feeling was very mysterious and indescribable, but it made her feel that she and Feng Anchen were closer, so close that it seemed as if their breath could easily blend together.
"I understand, Brother Anchen, don't worry, what you said and what Grandpa Feng said are very reasonable, I will listen to you..."
On the other side, Feng Anchen's lips curled up into a smile.
He stopped talking about this matter and cleverly changed the subject, "Xiaoxi, come back to the capital with your brother before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There is a Lantern Festival here, and it is said to be very grand this year..."
Shen Mingxi calculated the time and happily agreed.
After the contact was cut off, Shen Mingxi once again thought about what Feng Anchen had just said, and felt that he should not do anything in the recent period of time.
The saying that there is always someone better than you is indeed very true.
The old man in his nineties only stayed in the ward for a while before Zhu Wang woke up. Although her body was still weak, she was awake after all. Others might not know it, but Shen Mingxi knew that she would definitely die from the backlash of the evil spirit's magic.
So this Gu Lao must be a real capable person. People with real abilities will definitely notice if certain people or things are a little abnormal. She really needs to be more careful.
Especially since her space and system should not be used for anything for the time being, and there is really no need to use it at the moment.
Shen Mingxi had a good idea and it was reasonable, but she didn't know that Old Man Ouyang was so old. He was like a dog seeing a bone. Once he knew who the person they coveted was, he would bite it and would not let go.
Gu Lao did have connections. On the day when Shen Mingxi and the others arrived at the Beijing Railway Station, Gu Lao actually found out that when Zhou Yiyi was seriously ill, Shen Jiawen and Shen Mingxi, brother and sister from the Shen family in Yuncheng, traveled thousands of miles to Nancheng. It was during the time they were there that Zhou Yiyi woke up.
Then Gu Lao started looking for Granny Ma, because he knew that Granny Ma was from South City.
This couldn't be easier for him. After all, Granny Ma was once an unnamed disciple of his.
For Granny Ma, as long as Gu Lao said a word, Granny Ma would tell her everything she knew.
Therefore, Gu Lao determined that the person who could break the evil spirit's magic and then backfire was 80% likely to be Shen Mingxi and 20% likely to be Shen Jiawen, so he had to observe both of them.
So at this moment, Shen Jiawen and Shen Mingxi, who were picked up by Feng Xiaowu and taken back to their house in Beijing, did not expect, including Feng Xiaowu, that Gu La had actually locked onto them.
But today is not the past after all.
Even if Gu Lao wanted to do something, he had to be patient and observe carefully.
Shen Zheming was not in Beijing, but Grandpa Niu and Grandma Niu lived in the house here, so when he entered the house, it was clean and warm, the sheets and quilt covers were all new, and there was hot food in the kitchen.
Shen Mingxi brought back a lot of local specialties from Yuncheng for Grandpa Niu and Grandma Niu.
Especially the certain kind of dried salted fish that Shen Mingxi had always been reluctant to buy, Shen Daniu loved it very much.
Many northerners actually don’t like to eat this kind of salted fish with a strange taste, but Shen Daniu particularly likes it, especially the salted fish from the Yuncheng seaside that is prepared using special methods.
Shen Mingxi knew that he loved to eat, so this time he brought him a big bag, enough for them to eat for almost half a year.
However, as long as she is at home, she will probably have to endure the unique taste of salted fish from time to time.
Of course, Shen Jiawen has a different opinion from Shen Mingxi on this.
With the carefully cooked salted fish, Shen Jiawen can sometimes eat an extra bowl of rice.
The atmosphere in the house was harmonious and peaceful. Feng Xiaowu had envied this before, but now the atmosphere in his family was almost the same, except for something not so pleasant, which was the marriage of his eldest and second brothers.
And his two sisters also came back this time.
Although we haven't seen each other for a year, the relationship between the brothers and sisters is very good.
But no one knew why, but my fourth sister, who had been getting along well with my mother from the time she returned home to the New Year, had a fight and went back to school early.
The third sister is better. She is going to graduate from university this year and is preparing to return to Beijing.
Zhao Suqin's relationship with her two daughters has not been good at all over the years.
It is not easy to make up for all this in this one-month vacation.
So it is understandable that the fourth sister left in a huff, but it is obvious that there is no longer the hatred in her eyes as before, which is a good sign.
Feng Xiaowu didn’t pay attention to these things before, and of course, he doesn’t pay much attention to them now. It was his grandmother who told him about them.
Maybe in grandma's eyes, he is the only one who has a partner and will probably get married soon and start a family. There are some things that she needs to know in advance, otherwise she won't tell him.
According to the old rules, he should get engaged to this busy girl in front of him first.
Our family circumstances were special at that time, and after discussing with our grandparents, we decided to get our marriage certificate right after graduating from university, skipping the engagement step.
However, Feng Xiaowu felt a little regretful at this moment. He should not have cared so much at that time. Xiaoxi was such an outstanding girl, he should have designated her as his fiancée earlier.
So the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Mingxi was somewhat passionate.
Fortunately, at this time Shen Jiawen helped Grandpa Niu put the things they brought back from Yuncheng into the back room, otherwise if Shen Jiawen saw him, he would definitely reach out and pull him away.
