Chapter 241 Mrs. Dong's Calculation

It happened that Mrs. Dong brought soup, and she gave Mingxia a wink when she heard this: What a great opportunity?You just show your determination and attitude to stay with Miss and take care of her!
Mingxia lowered her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

General Xu said lovingly: "Think carefully. Don't be afraid that the university living expenses are not enough. Don't worry about the money. As long as Mingxia can be admitted to the university, I will pay for the living expenses."

Mrs. Dong is in a hurry.What does the general mean, is that he doesn't want Mingxia to accompany the eldest lady anymore?
How can it work?

She is old, how many more years can she work in the Xu family?If there is no heir to maintain the relationship with the Xu family, who will take care of her precious grandson in the future?

Her mind was spinning quickly, and it was impossible to disobey the general's will on the spot, so she had to cut first and play later.

So she smiled and said, "Okay. We, Mingxia, must think about it carefully."

Han Xuefen looked at Mrs. Dong's face, and a disdainful smile flashed in her eyes: short-sighted.

After the meal was finished, Mrs. Dong sent two plates of bright red strawberries.She smiled and said, "This strawberry was brought back by the young lady. It's fragrant and beautiful. It's like a work of art."

General Xu looked at the familiar strawberries, and couldn't help laughing and asked: "Lingling, how much money have you made selling strawberries in the past few years? I heard that many people in our military region have bought your strawberries."

Lingling beamed with joy: "That's quite a lot."

Xu Jianghai became anxious when he heard the words: "What? You sell strawberries? How dare you earn money from acquaintances?"

Lingling shrugged: "It's not that I want to make money from them. It's that they pester me to make money for me. I can't help it. Let's do it."

Xu Jianghai wanted to reprimand her for corrupting the family tradition, so Lingling picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth: "You will know after you taste it."

"Hmm... I don't believe it...Huh?!"

The rest of his blame choked in his throat.

This strawberry is actually sweet and refreshing, and the juice is as delicious as nectar.Incredibly delicious!

He raised his head and asked Lingling: "Why didn't you tell me that you have such a good resource? How appropriate is a New Year's gift?"

Han Xuefen said angrily: "You have to show some face. I'm ashamed to argue with my daughter about this."

Xu Jianghai didn't ask the price, and said directly: "No. Are there any strawberries this year? My unit will set a price of [-] catties first."

If you have money, you don't make a pig's head three.Naturally, Lingling should say, "I'll ask you later."

General Xu also asked with great interest: "How is the Strawberry Princess in your dormitory doing?"

Lingling was surprised that his grandfather also knew Lingmei.Thinking about the influence of the report that introduced Ling Mei in the Yangcheng Evening News, it was quite influential.She smiled and said, "Don't see that her grades are not as good as mine. In fact, she is collected every time she takes the exam. At least, her English is better than mine, and her spoken English is stronger."

General Xu couldn't help being curious: "So powerful?" He asked again, "Has she decided to volunteer?"

"She wants to be admitted to the Capital Agricultural University wholeheartedly." Lingling ate strawberries, "We can play in the capital together in the future."

General Xu said: "He is a sincere child. He grows good fruits and has a flexible mind. He should go to build the motherland's agriculture and forestry."

Lingling said again: "That's right. I also heard from her that she has opened several acres of lychee gardens. She wants to cultivate rare varieties of lychees."

General Xu nodded approvingly: "It's amazing to have this ability at such a young age."

Ling Yu gracefully wiped the strawberry juice between her fingers: "Lychees of rare and expensive varieties? After eating them for so many years, the Gualu from Zengcheng is the best."

Han Xuefen pursed her lips and smiled: "That's hanging green. Alas, it's a pity that there is only one mother tree left that is still half-dead. It would be great if Lingling's classmates could breed hanging green."

Xu Jianghai laughed and said, "What are you thinking?"

Lingling's long eyebrows were raised slightly, revealing a mysterious and slightly provocative smile.

Who said there is only one hanging green tree in the world?The lychees that Lingmei brings to the dormitory every year are not tasted by others, but she recognizes the variety at a glance.

"This classmate of mine has great abilities." Lingling smiled slightly at everyone. "See you next year."

After dinner, Lingling went upstairs to review her homework.She stopped in front of her door, and when she was about to turn to the opposite north room, Han Xuefen said with concern: "Lingling. Knowing that you are coming back, Lingyu gave up the room—"

"Let me out?" Lingling looked at her amusedly.

"Oh. I'll give it back to you, I'll give it back to you." Han Xuefen gritted her teeth secretly. "Look here. Your house is back to its original state. It hasn't changed at all."

Lingling said oh, opened the door and said, "Stop tossing and tossing like this in the future."

After finishing speaking, she slammed the door, leaving Han Xuefen at the door with a grim expression.

She never expected that Lingling would be able to turn around after being exiled to Nanping.

She turned around and went to the kitchen downstairs. With the sound of running water, Mingxia was washing the dishes.

Han Xuefen sighed softly: "Mingxia, thank you for your hard work. I will help your grandma with work as soon as I get back."

Mingxia turned her head and smiled, "This is what I should do."

Han Xuefen's eyes were full of affection: "I also watched you grow up. In this family, no one treats you as a servant."

Mingxia's heart moved slightly, and she lowered her head while washing the dishes: "I know that the madam, the minister, and the general have all treated me very well, and never treated me as an outsider, but you can't be too greedy in life. I have already passed away today." Lucky. In my hometown village, more than half of the girls don’t come to Guangzhou, and there are many girls who can’t even finish elementary school.”

Han Xuefen half-closed her eyes and recalled: "Is your hometown in Fanzi Island?"

"Yes. It's really too poor over there." Mingxia tidied up the bowls and wiped her hands.Started peeling shrimp and wrapping wontons for supper.

Xue Fen looked at her busy, and said with a smile: "Everyone ate too much for dinner today. There must be no room for supper."

Mingxia raised her head and said with a smile: "The two young ladies are preparing for the college entrance examination and have to study until late at night. How can I not eat late at night?"

Han Xuefen immediately interjected: "Don't you also want to prepare for the exam? You can go. I will pack the wontons."

Mingxia shook her head like a wave: "How can I do that? My grandma has already prepared the meat stuffing, so I'll just peel the shrimp."

Han Xuefen smiled and said, "It's because you two are thoughtful." She rolled up her sleeves, "Then I'll help you wrap the wonton together."

Mingxia couldn't refuse anymore, so she and Han Xuefen wrapped up wontons one by one.

The two were chatting and working, and they finished the work within an hour.

Han Xuefen patted her on the shoulder lightly and said, "Hurry up and study. Our whole family is waiting for you three girls to be named in the gold list this year."

Mingxia nodded, "Call me, ladies, if you're hungry."

Han Xuefen waved her hand and said seriously: "During the exam preparation period, suspend all your housework. You are not allowed to enter the kitchen again—don't worry, I will talk to your grandma."

Mingxia said gratefully, "Thank you Ma'am."

Han Xuefen straightened the broken hair around her ears, and said with a smile, "I must be admitted to university."

After Mingxia returned to her hut, she unfolded the exercise paper and did the questions within half an hour, when her grandma came to her.
