"Xie Fei?" Xibao exclaid in surprise.
Could it be the Xie Fei he was thinking of? Is he the grandson of Grandpa Xie? During the exam, he was dressed in tattered and thin clothing, which was quite pitiful, and was even described by those who knew him as coming from a bad background.
Professor Zhang let out a sound of surprise, "You’ve heard of this na?"
Xibao touched his head, "I know a Xie Fei, but I’m not sure if it’s the Xie Fei you’re talking about, Grandpa Zhang."
"If it’s the person from Huaibei City who got into the Capital University’s Western Language Departnt, then it’s definitely him!" Professor Zhang smiled, "There are only a few students from Huaibei City who got into the Capital University, and only one nad Xie Fei."
"According to what you said, it must be him. We had initially agreed to et in the Capital."
Unexpectedly, Xie Fei, like him, got into Capital University, demonstrating Xie Fei’s talent and diligence.
After parting with Professor Zhang and registering for Lu Tianzhi, Xibao made a point of looking around, but unfortunately did not encounter Xie Fei. However, upon returning to his dorm with his mother, he discovered Xie Fei and Professor Xie sitting in the dormitory talking to Ma Dazhuang and two other people he didn’t know.
"Lu Tianmao!" Xie Fei stood up imdiately upon seeing him.
Feng Qingxue followed closely, speaking up, "Professor Xie? How co you’re here?"
"I ca to find your son, but I ca at the wrong ti; you were all out." Professor Xie smiled kindly and then pointed at Xie Fei, who had run over, holding Xibao’s hand and shining with a bright smile, "Co, Qingxue, et my grandson, Xie Fei. We, grandfather and grandson, ca especially to thank Xibao for his tily help during the exam."
Feng Qingxue was not sure what was going on, as Xibao hadn’t explained in detail on the way, "Professor, why are you being so polite? It’s only natural for friends to help each other."
"You likely don’t know how Xibao helped Afei, do you?" Xie Professor spoke frankly.
Feng Qingxue laughed dryly twice, not denying it.
Professor Xie sighed, his eyes fell on his grandson, "My grandson has had a hard life; his father is gone, and his mother doesn’t care for him. Not to ntion the poverty and backwardness of his assigned place; the local officials and residents were very hostile to the educated youth, intercepting mail and packages was a common occurrence, and there was even bullying of female educated youth. Fortunately, my grandson is a boy and very young. Nevertheless, in just two years, the child had fallen ill, needing Old Mountain Ginseng to recuperate for at least five years to recover normal health, otherwise, it would affect his lifespan."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingxue felt great compassion and hurriedly said, "Good ginseng? I have several stalks of wild mountain ginseng, authentic Northeast Old Mountain Ginseng, sourced by Ajiang’s comrades, better than what’s sold outside. I’ll bring you two tomorrow, no need to look elsewhere. Impacting lifespan is no small matter; it’s likely he overworked his body before it was fully grown."
Professor Xie was overjoyed, "With you saying this, it concerns my grandson’s future, I won’t be polite with you. I’ll go with you to get it, and I’ll mix it into dicine tonight and start using it tomorrow."
"You’re so advanced in age, there’s no need for you to make a trip; I’ll have soone bring it to you as soon as I get ho."
True to her word, Feng Qingxue returned ho and pretended to go to her room to fetch the ginseng, but actually retrieved it from the space. The two stalks of Old Mountain Ginseng were already processed, boxed, and sent to Professor Xie by the guard.
Seven taels is ginseng, eight taels is treasure.
These two are top-grade, weighing more than eight taels each. Although they were processed, Professor Xie could weigh them in his hands and naturally felt imnse gratitude towards Feng Qingxue; such good ginseng is indeed hard to find.
