Chapter 104 Going to the City
"What? You want to ask for leave?"
Teacher Cai looked helpless. There were still two months before the college entrance examination. How could Yuan Xiao ask for leave at this time?
"Now everyone should focus on reviewing. I will not fall behind in my studies."
Yuan Xiao repeatedly assured Teacher Cai, and Teacher Cai reluctantly agreed to give her a week's vacation.
She handed in the leave application and prepared to go home to pack her things.
When she got home, Wang Yazhi said with joy: "Xiaoxiao, Daqiang just sent me a ginseng!"
Yuan Xiao pretended that he didn't know and said in surprise: "Did you dig it?"
Doctor Liu was also overjoyed. This ginseng would definitely be enough to regulate Professor Wen's body.
"We dug it up. It was just delivered today!"
"That's good. Professor Wen, take the ginseng back."
After saying that, Yuan Xiao turned around and said to Wang Yazhi, "Mom, I have to go to the city."
Wang Yazhi had never been out of Qushui County in her life, let alone to the city.
Yuan Xiao had always been with her, so it was the same for her.
She was a little anxious, "Why do we have to go to the city? I'm worried if you go alone."
"Uncle He gave me a letter of introduction. I'm going to the chemical factory to discuss cooperation."
Wang Yazhi looked hesitant. She didn't want Yuan Xiao to go, but the cooperation Yuan Xiao mentioned must be important.
"Why don't you let me go with you? There will be someone to take care of you on the way."
Yuan Xiao refused directly, "I still need your help to look after my shop. Recently, Brother Bingzi has to go to the textile factory to take care of things."
Besides, if Wang Yazhi is there, it will be difficult for her to find Gu Lanting.
Doctor Liu saw that Wang Yazhi was really worried, so he suggested: "We are going to take a bus to the city, why don't little Yuanxiao go with us."
After all, he ate so many meals and got a ginseng.
With Doctor Liu's words, Wang Yazhi no longer objected even if she was worried.
Yuan Xiao had planned to leave on Tuesday, but he didn't expect Tan Yanan and Xue Yuanling to come.
The higher-ups have vindicated them, and they are going back to the capital.
Tan Yanan and Professor Wen had met several times before. They were both going back to Beijing, so they agreed to go back together.
The group got on the car, and the luggage was packed.
The car went directly to the train station, and Yuan Xiao sent them to the station.
Before leaving, Xue Yuanling was reluctant to let go, "Xiao Xiao, you can come to Beijing to play during the winter vacation."
Tan Yanan's eyes were also slightly red, "Wait for the college entrance examination next year, uncle and aunt Xue will come to cheer you up."
Professor Wen's feelings for Yuan Xiao are more about cherishing her talent. He hopes that she will study hard and become his student in the future.
"You can come to see Master Wen when you come to Beijing. You can also write to me if you have any questions. I left my address at your house."
Doctor Liu was not willing to be left behind. "Master Liu also left his address at your house. Remember to send me any good herbs."
Yuan Xiao smiled and said, "I know everything. You guys can go in quickly and be careful on the road."
"Okay, you should be careful here too. Go home early when you are done."
Doctor Liu got on the train and accidentally touched a hard object in his bag. He took it out and found that it was Ganoderma lucidum. There was also a small note on it, which was written by Yuan Xiao.
He was really shocked. With this quality and size, it was a top-grade Ganoderma lucidum, but it was easily sold for thousands of yuan!
He sighed and suddenly felt that the two thousand yuan left in the room was too little!
"What's wrong?" Professor Wen asked when he saw his old friend shaking his head and sighing.
They were staying in a private room, and there were only the two of them at the moment. Dr. Liu didn't need to avoid others and took out Qingzhi directly.
"Look, that girl Yuanxiao gave it to me!"
The beautiful handwriting on the note read: Only when things are put to good use can their value be brought into play.
Professor Wen laughed, "This girl is a very insightful person."
He was more determined to take this girl as his apprentice.
"She gave it to you, so you keep it. When she is admitted to a university in the capital, we will compensate her."

Yuanxiao saw them off, and when he saw the food stalls at the door, he planned to go over for breakfast.
Looking back, he saw a woman in a red cotton shirt, dragging a boy of eight or nine years old with great force.
The boy's face flushed with effort, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "I don't know you, let me go!"
The woman clenched her hands so tightly that veins popped out, and she spat, cursing and shouting: "You bastard, you have learned from me to run away from home! Your father is lying in the hospital to find you, come back to school with me!"
There were a few people watching nearby, but when they heard her words, they all dispersed.
It turned out that the child was not willing to go to school and was throwing a tantrum!
The child was still holding on to a roadside pillar, and his coat was ripped off, "I don't know you! I am not your son, let me go, help me!"
Yuan Xiao watched from the side for a long time. The clothes the boy was wearing were not cheap, and he was wearing a watch on his hand.
The watch was imported and more expensive than the one in Yuan Xiao's hand.
He also wore a piece of jade around his neck, which set off his delicate skin.
With this outfit, he might be able to buy a
house in Qushui County. A family like this must be well off.
In contrast, the woman who claimed to be the boy's mother was wearing a cotton coat and trousers, and her shoes were all peeled off.
Her skin was a little dark, and her hands were quite chapped. She didn't look like the boy's mother at all.
She frowned and thought for a long time until the aunt at the stall reminded her: "Girl, do you want to buy this bun?"
Yuan Xiao hurriedly paid, turned around and saw the woman dragging the boy away.
After a while, a man came over to help, "You little bastard, don't run away from home next time. Your father has been looking for you for several days!"
Yuan Xiao's face froze. The woman had just said that his father was in the hospital, wasn't he?
She turned around and called the security guard at the train station.
Whether it was true or not, they had to stop the man first.
The train station was full of people of all kinds, and there were many human traffickers.
When the security guard heard her say that they had found human traffickers, he hurriedly took people to follow.
Fortunately, the little boy was quite strong, and the two men had a hard time dragging him and struggling, so he didn't go far.
The woman looked at the security guards warily, "Is there no law? Can't I take my son home?"
Yuan Xiao sneered, "You can take your son home, but this child is not your son!"
The man looked at Yuan Xiao with a sinister look, "He is my son, little girl, don't meddle in other people's business!"
"Whether he is your son or not, can't we just wait for the police to come and investigate thoroughly?"
The security guard felt confident when he heard Yuan Xiao's words, "The girl is right. If this child is your son, then you have nothing to be afraid of. You will know when the police come!"
The woman was anxious. Of course, they couldn't wait for the police to come here.
If the police really came, they would be in trouble!
The man secretly said bad luck, threw the boy in his hand, turned around and ran away.
The security guard quickly shouted, "Hold this woman, chase her!"
The scene was noisy and chaotic. Yuan Xiao was worried that some vendors would take advantage of the situation and moved the boy aside.
