Chapter 247 Strange Grass
Chapter 247 Strange Grass
Because we had an extra meal in the afternoon, we had dinner late.
We returned to the hotel at almost seven o'clock and had dinner.
After dinner, the sun had already set and it was getting dark.
Jiang Ning looked at Feng Yu: "Want to go around again?"
Feng Yu complained that he was tired: "I have to keep turning. I am almost dying of exhaustion."
Jiang Ning said, "Then you go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll go out for a walk."
Feng Yu was surprised: "It's almost dark and you still want to go out?"
Jiang Ning said, "It's too early. I can't sleep. I'm going to take a walk to digest the food."
Feng Yu had no doubts: "Then come back early, I'll take a shower first."
Jiang Ning agreed and watched her go upstairs.
Then he left the hotel and strolled away along a small path.
When I walked to a place where there was no one, I looked around.
After making sure there was no surveillance, he sneaked into the underground.
Walk directly to the previous suspended plank road, and finally emerge from a sunny cliff.
It was not yet dark, although the valley was shrouded in clouds and mist.
But you can still see it clearly if you get closer.
Jiang Ning looked around and his eyes fixed on a plant.
This is just a very ordinary grass with a few walnut-sized round leaves. It grows alone in a field of weeds, not at all noticeable. But such an ordinary grass emits a strange fluctuation.
Jiang Ning was quite strange before.
The moment I saw this grass, I understood where that strange feeling came from.
This time, the unrest in the source of the five elements was caused by the origin of the wood element.
Jiang Ning squatted down and looked at this ordinary grass curiously.
There is the breath of the origin of wood.
I just don't know where this ordinary grass absorbed this little bit of wood essence. Although the fluctuation is very weak, it is of the same origin after all, so it caused the wood essence to become restless. I counted the leaves and there are seven in total.
This grass must have mutated.
I don’t know what it will look like in the end.
Jiang Ning pulled it and suppressed the wood element.
I didn't drain the grass, I thought about it.
He reached into the rock wall with his bare hands and dug out the grass.
A large piece of rock was dug out together with it.
After being fed with some Yi wood spiritual energy, the seven-leaf clover became even greener and more juicy.
Looking closely, it seems to have grown a little.
But if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it.
Jiang Ning clicked his tongue twice and finally discovered the problem.
If this was really an ordinary weed, with the amount of Yi Mu spiritual energy he had just fed it, it would be enough to bloom three times and bear fruit three times at least. However, this thing has only grown a tiny bit, which is obviously not simple.
I fed it more than twice the amount, and the round leaves grew a little bit bigger.
It seems that he has grown a little taller, but it is not obvious.
Jiang Ning studied it for a while and threw it into the Five Elements Space.
I plan to take it back and study it further.
After being fed with so much Yi Mu spiritual energy, it shouldn't die so quickly.
When we got back to the hotel, Feng Yu hadn't taken a shower yet!
Sitting on the sofa and video chatting with Feng Xue, the little guy is sitting in Feng Xue's arms and interacting with his mother.
Jiang Ning came over and said, "Tiantian, call me daddy!"
The little guy stared with big eyes and waved his hands happily: "Dad!"
"So good!"
Jiang Ning praised his daughter and asked Feng Xue, "How do you eat?"
Feng Xue used sign language, meaning that it was sent by the cafeteria.
It is troublesome to cook with children alone.
I told them when I left that if I didn’t want to cook, I could have the canteen deliver the food.
After teasing my daughter for a while, the little one seemed to lose interest in the novelty.
He started playing with cardboard again, but would glance at his phone from time to time.
He didn't let Feng Xue take the phone and just placed it in front of him for him to watch.
Feng Yu wanted to hang up the video and go take a shower, but Feng Xue called him right after he hung up.
The little guy was crying loudly, calling for his mother.
Feng Yu cried so hard that her heart was about to break.
It was past nine o'clock when the little guy was hungry and it was time for dinner.
Just hung up the video.
Feng Yu was in a bad mood, so Jiang Ning teased her: "I just went out and found a piece of gold."
Feng Yu didn't believe it: "Can we still pick up gold here?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Of course."
When he flipped his palm, it turned out to be a piece of gold.
Golden in color, slightly larger than an apricot kernel.
Feng Yu was surprised: "Where did you pick it up?"
Jiang Ning said: "In the grass by the roadside."
Feng Yu took it, looked at it, and bit it with his teeth: "It's soft, it's real."
Jiang Ning said: "I have tried it before, of course it is true."
Feng Yu said happily: "Mr. Jiang is still so lucky. He can win several rings."
Jiang Ning said: "Our family is not short of this little gold."
Feng Yu said: "It's not a shortage, but it's a festive occasion!"
Seeing that her mood had improved, Jiang Ning said, "Go take a shower and go to sleep after that."
Feng Yu was not in a hurry. Suddenly, his mood changed: "I don't know who lost this gold. It looks like a lot. I think it weighs dozens of grams and is worth a lot of money. I don't know how anxious the owner is. Why don't we hand it over to the police station and return it to the owner!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
This is really shooting oneself in the foot.
Damn owner!
The gold is his, so how could it be lost?
He has no shortage of this stuff, and carries several thousand tons with him!
It doesn't matter if you send him to the police station.
Jiang Ning thought to himself that the most precious thing in the world is kindness. Since Feng Yu has such a kind heart, it doesn't matter if he just gives a small piece of gold to the police station. Even if the owner can't be found in the end and the money is divided, it doesn't matter.
A wife’s kindness is the most important thing.
Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I'll listen to you. We'll send him to the police station when we go down the mountain tomorrow."
Feng Yu certainly had no objection, nor did he feel sorry about it.
If you are poor, it might be a pity.
But now, there is a lot of gold at home.
Jiang Ning would take some home from time to time to keep in the bottom of the box.
I'm not short of money, so of course I don't care.
All you enjoy is the joy of picking up gold.
As for this little bit of gold, it's worth at most 20,000 yuan.
Why would I care?
We took a shower together and paid our dues.
Then go to bed.
The next day, I got up, took a big shower, and went to Liandan Peak to watch the sunrise with a group of tourists who stayed overnight on the mountain. After watching the sunrise, we went down the mountain. We didn’t take the cable car, but walked down the mountain, walking along the trail all the way north and going down the mountain from Songgu Temple.
As the old saying goes, it is easier to go up a mountain than to go down.
This is really not nonsense.
Going up the mountain just consumes some energy.
But it was different when going down the mountain. My knees started to hurt after not walking for long.
My legs started to tremble and I didn't dare to bend them.
"My husband's knee cover."
"Why does my knee hurt?"
"I don't know, my knees hurt whenever I put any effort on them."
Jiang Ning thought she didn't want to leave, so he didn't say anything. He said, "Then I'll carry you on my back!"
Feng Yu smiled with curved eyebrows and immediately lay on his back.
Carrying someone down the mountain is indeed more difficult than going up the mountain.
The main reason is that the center of gravity is not stable and it is easy to fall forward.
Especially with a bag hanging in front of the chest, it really affects the vision under the feet.
Jiang Ning also walked very carefully to avoid stepping on empty air and falling.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, we first went to the police station and handed the gold to the police so they could find the owner.
After coming out of the police station, Feng Yu felt better than if he had found gold.
Doing good things can make people happy.
Although this good news is fake, no one will know as long as Jiang Ning doesn't say it.
After chartering a car, the two headed towards Hangzhou again.
Because Hangzhou is the closest.
On the way, I received a call from Lao Yang: "When will the boss be back?"
Jiang Ning said: "I'm already heading back."
Lao Yang said, "I just got the news that Boss Lu will leave the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Ning asked: "Are you sure?"
Old Yang said: "It should be confirmed."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "I'll go to Bei'an tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Lao Yang said OK and hung up the phone.
Feng Yu also heard it and asked, "Is Secretary Lu leaving?"
"Ah."
Jiang Ning said, "We'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Feng Yu asked, "Do we have to see him off?"
Jiang Ning said, "Of course we have to send him off. Although Old Lu has become the Lu Qingtian in the hearts of the people of Bei'an in the past three years, he has also offended many people. If no one sends him off, it would be too miserable for him to leave."
Feng Yu said: "I'll go and see him off as well."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll give Lao Lu a call."
I won’t talk about Feng Yu.
The phone was dialed and it rang for a while before it was connected.
"Jiang Ning."
"I heard you're leaving the day after tomorrow?"
"Ah."
"You really quit?"
"I quit."
"Where are you going, back to the provincial capital?"
"Let's go back to my hometown to see my parents first."
"What about work? What are your plans?"
"No plans. I'll take a break first."
"How did you do on the Luhang exam?"
"He said it was fine."
"Okay then, I'll go to Bei'an tonight and we'll talk about it when I get back!"
"it is good!"
The phone hangs up.
Jiang Ning felt a little sad and had mixed feelings.
Feng Yu asked quietly, "Are you really quitting?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I quit."
Feng Yu was also in a complicated mood and wanted to say something.
But I don’t know where to start.
I arrived in Hangzhou at noon and bought the nearest flight ticket.
While waiting for his flight, Feng Yu saw a short video.
After taking a few glances, he showed it to Jiang Ning: "The farm is going to be popular."
Jiang Ning took a look and saw that it was about the farm organizing a trip for employees. It was posted by a short video blogger. It contained screenshots of the notice sent by the office and screenshots of the employees' voting. The copy was well written and received a lot of likes.
There are more than 10,000 likes.
The travel plan has been tentatively finalized. As early as the first day he arrived in Hangzhou, the office issued a notice to organize employees who had a day off on July 1st to go out first. As for where to go, it was difficult to reach a consensus as there were so many people and so many opinions.
So we just held a vote and let everyone decide.
The final result was that more than 89% of employees chose Europe.
Jiang Ning asked the reason, and it was said that most people felt that there were many countries in Europe, and that one could visit many countries, while one could only visit one of Australia and America, so they chose Europe.
A very strange reason.
I don't know where this short video blogger got the information from. It seems to be an internal leak, but the content is quite positive, with more than 10,000 likes and thousands of comments. I clicked in to take a look and found that they were all sarcastic. Of course, the sarcastic ones are his own company and boss.
Some people are also curious about what the Fairy Farm is for.
Because it was written in the documents that the travel expenses were 100,000 yuan per person. The blogger was serious and he also checked the farm information, which showed that there were more than 700 employees. With the travel expenses of 100,000 yuan per person, it would cost more than 70 million yuan to organize all the employees to go out once.
When did agricultural companies become so profitable?
Feng Yu also came over to take a look, and couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw a comment.
The content is as follows.
A netizen claimed that he forwarded this short video to the company group.
As a result, he was called for a talk by his boss in the afternoon and asked to find a new job as soon as possible.
Feng Yu couldn't help laughing: "This guy is quite interesting."
Jiang Ning said: "The comments section is full of talented people."
Looking further down, there are netizens asking: Where is this company? Does it still need people? I want to apply for the job.
A netizen responded below: You can’t see such a big official seal, don’t you recognize the two words "Bei'an"?
The netizen asked: Where is Bei'an?
Another netizen replied: I don’t know, I’ve never heard of it, it should be a small place.
After reading the comments with great interest for a while, the time to board the plane came.
The two of them got on the plane in a good mood.
We arrived at the provincial capital at 4:30 in the afternoon, and took the big steamboat that picked us up at the airport directly back to Bei'an.
We had dinner at a service area on the way.
Arrived in Bei'an at 9:30pm.
After sending Feng Yu home, Jiang Ning didn't even enter the door.
So I drove to the guesthouse.
Old Lu hasn't rested yet and seems to be sorting things out.
Made him a cup of tea.
Jiang Ning sat down and asked, "Have you finished handing over the work?"
Lu Jingwei said: "It has been handed over long ago."
Jiang Ning asked: "What time do we leave the day after tomorrow?"
Lu Jingwei said, "The train leaves at 6:30."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "You're taking the train?"
Lu Jingwei nodded and said, "I often take the train."
Jiang Ning was speechless: "Why are you so serious?"
Lu Jingwei said: "As for that."
Jiang Ning said: "Let me take you there. I'll drive you there."
"No need to send it."
Lu Jingwei said, "Some people say that I took your money. Although I don't care about these slanders, I don't want to be criticized. I have worked for 21 years. I have felt guilty, but I have never done anything wrong. When I came to Bei'an to take office, I took the train. When I left, I took the train. This is the only way to give my three years of work and life in Bei'an a perfect ending."
Jiang Ning asked: "You will be left with no friends like this?"
Lu Jingwei smiled and said, "It depends on how you define friends. If it's just ordinary friends, I have quite a few. If it's friends with whom I can talk freely about life and share common values, I also have a few."
Jiang Ning said: "It's right to stick to principles, but sometimes people need to be flexible."
Lu Jingwei said: "Maybe, maybe when I am no longer a public official, I will learn to adapt."
Jiang Ning asked: "Have you arranged for the secretary and driver?"
Lu Jingwei said: "It's all arranged."
Jiang Ning sat for half an hour and then left.
When I got home, Feng Yu was already asleep.
Sleeping with my daughter.
Feng Xue hasn't slept yet and is still waiting for him!
Seeing that he was frowning, I gestured to ask him what was wrong.
Jiang Ning immediately adjusted his mood and said, "It's okay, I just had a chat with Lao Lu."
Feng Xue pointed to the bathroom and asked him to take a shower.
Jiang Ning said, "I don't want to wash anymore. Get me a basin of water so I can soak my feet."
Feng Xue nodded and went to get him some water.
He quickly brought out a basin of warm water and placed it beside the bed.
Jiang Ning soaked his feet and went straight to bed.
Feng Xue carried the basin of water and his smelly socks to the bathroom.
Wash his socks before coming out.
Jiang Ning was completely naked, not even covered with a blanket, and lying on his back on the bed.
He held his head with his hands, and I don’t know what he was thinking.
Feng Xue pointed at the quilt, meaning that he would catch a cold.
Jiang Ning said, "It's so hot, how could you catch a cold? Come up quickly!"
Feng Xue got on the bed and pulled the quilt over him.
Then he took the remote control and tried to turn off the light.
Jiang Ning stopped him: "Don't turn off the lights yet, let's talk."
Feng Yu put down the remote control and got into bed.
Jiang Ning climbed up and took off her pajamas.
Then he crawled into bed and stretched out his left arm for her to rest her head on.
I asked about my daughter who was not at home these days.
It’s not very convenient to use sign language in bed.
Feng Xue took the phone and wrote something for him to see.
Chatted for a while.
Jiang Ning touched her face and said, "Sister, come out with me in a few days."
Feng Xue wrote: "Where to go?"
Jiang Ning said: "You go wherever I go."
Feng Xue wrote: "I have to be sweet with Feng Yu."
Jiang Ning said: "Let her take care of it alone."
Feng Xue: “No way.”
Jiang Ning said: "What's wrong with that? You have been taking care of it by yourself for a few days."
Feng Xue: "It's very tiring to raise a child alone."
Jiang Ning asked: "Don't you want to spend time alone with me?"
Feng Xue was quite conflicted, of course he wanted to.
but……
Jiang Ning added: "It was Feng Yu who asked me to take you with me when I go out again."
Feng Xue was a little surprised: "Really?"
Jiang Ning said, "Of course it's true. From now on, you two will take turns to take care of the children at home, and we can take turns to enjoy our world together. Otherwise, if we are always around Tiantian, everyone will get bored after a while."
Feng Xue: "I will listen to you."
Jiang Ning said: "You don't have to always accommodate us. We are all family. You are not our vassal. You should have your own ideas. We have also worshipped heaven and earth. Although it is not very formal, we have worshipped it after all. You are also my wife."
Feng Xue didn't say anything else. She put down her phone, turned around, and hugged him.
Jiang Ning looked at her flawless face and suddenly felt that he should thank Cai Tian.
I used to curse God for being blind.
Looking back, I really shouldn’t have cursed.
How lucky I am in this life.
……
I got up early the next day and ran to the cafeteria to have breakfast.
The weather has been getting hotter day by day recently, and Lao Yang doesn't go home anymore.
I sleep in the dormitory at night and get up very early in the morning.
The two of them shared a table and discussed how to send Old Lu off while eating.
After deciding on a general strategy, we finished our meal.
Jiang Ning packed two bags and ran into his uncle when he left the cafeteria.
Asked about my cousin Chen Gang's situation.
Chen Xuefeng said: "Just like Zhang Yulong, it seems that he intends to rely on his parents for support."
Jiang Ning asked: "How's the introduction going?"
Chen Xuefeng said, "With his cowardly look, which girl would be willing to live with him? He can't even support himself, and he's over 30 years old and still eats his parents. Do you think there are women who would be willing to live with him?"
Jiang Ning didn't know how to answer.
I could only say a few words of comfort and went home with the lunch box.
Back at the villa, the little guy was drinking from a bottle.
Feng Yu was washing up and Feng Xue was mopping the floor.
Jiang Ning put down the lunch box, said hello and went out.
I first went to the research institute and gave the seven-leaf clover dug from Huangshan to Zhang Bo and others to plant and take care of.
Then I drove to the office building and the employees were already at work.
After discussing with Lao Yang, the two of them went their separate ways.
Jiang Ning was sitting in the office making a phone call to his boss in Bei'an.
"Boss Wang, Boss Lu is leaving tomorrow. Should we see him off? Yes, yes, yes. Old Lu has devoted himself to Bei'an for the past three years. We should also be conscientious. Let's organize more people tomorrow and put up a few banners to make it more lively..."
"Old Li, find more people to see Boss Lu off tomorrow, and put up a few banners... What's the content? You're asking me, use your brain to think of a few... Take the train, the 6:30 a.m. train, the more people the better..."
"Brother Wei, send Boss Lu off tomorrow morning... on the 6:30 a.m. train. Put up some banners and mobilize more people. Please inform Brother Ze, and I won't call him specifically..."
"Director Zhang, send Mr. Lu off tomorrow... After all, he has made contributions to Bei'an. Gold and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of the people... The director is from Bei'an. Putting aside prejudices, shouldn't we send him off? Yes, yes, yes, Director Zhang has a long-term vision. A hundred years later, Old Lu will definitely be recorded in the history of Bei'an. Director Zhang's sending him off is equivalent to leaving his name in the history of Bei'an..."
Jiang Ning flipped through his phone and made calls one after another.
There are bosses and bureau chiefs.
Call friends and prepare to see Lu Jingwei off.
Old Yang is also taking action, planning a farewell ceremony.
Jiang Ning made more than a hundred calls, and it was not until noon that he finally finished.
Even though he is not in Bei'an most of the time.
But I have so many friends.
Looking back, it seems like a lifetime ago.
In just three years, I got to know so many people.
In the small place of Bei'an, the roots are well developed.
At the same time, the news was spreading rapidly.
This issue is being discussed in all chat groups.
Some people are even calling their friends and preparing to get up early the next day.
On this day, business at various advertising stores in Bei'an was booming as never before.
Originally only a few people knew that Boss Lu was leaving, but now more than 80% of the people in Bei'an knew about it, and learned that Lu Jingwei had resigned. Their first reaction was disbelief, and their second reaction was disbelief.
The third reaction was still disbelief.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ning sent a notification in the group.
Tomorrow is a day off, and everyone except the gate guard will go to see Lu Jingwei off.
Kong Fangfei was not at home, so I went to the port and bought a car from him.
Lao Yang was busy, so Jiang Ning had to organize it himself.
At the same time, the Second Field and New Town Hotel also issued notices.
I have a day off tomorrow, so I will go and see Boss Lu off.
Jiang Ning did not go home in the afternoon and slept in the New Town Hotel.
Lao Yang sleeps in the same room with him.
At three o'clock in the morning, the director of the second field office knocked on the door.
The finished products were delivered.
Jiang Ning and Lao Yang got up and personally checked the prepared gifts.
A photo album, a book.
The album contains hundreds of photos taken by Lu Jingwei during his work and life in Bei'an. All of them were selected from a massive amount of photos, developed and bound into albums. The album is very beautifully made.
There is a line or a paragraph of small text under each photo.
Explained the source of the photo.
There are only four words on the cover: Gifted by a person from Bei'an.
There’s one less word, but it feels more real.
The book is a gift letter, which contains hundreds of letters written by Bei'an people to Mr. Lu. They are not typed manuscripts, but the original manuscripts were traced into pictures and bound into a book overnight. The people who wrote the letters came from all walks of life, including bosses, officials, workers and old farmers.
Some of the letters contain typos.
But it doesn't matter.
This is what makes it real.
Jiang Ning flipped through it and saw a letter written by Jiang Wei.
Somewhat unexpected.
Yesterday, Jiang Wei heard about the production of such a book and thought that he might leave his name in history, so he took the initiative to sign up to write it. In order to have his letter selected, he even came to find Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning didn't care about this matter.
Lao Yang is responsible for everything.
He didn't say hello to Lao Yang.
I didn't expect to be selected.
What surprised him even more was that Jiang Laoer's handwriting was actually quite good, and his composition was also of a relatively high standard, with parallel sentences following one another very smoothly. Jiang Ning was really surprised, he never expected that Jiang Laoer had such literary talent.
