Chapter 1497 Adopted Daughter 33
After Yuanchun's repeated persuasion, Director Hu finally thought it through. After leaving the hospital, she went to the leader's office, asked for a half-month vacation, and distributed the work at hand to several staff members under her.
Then, she came to Yuanchun's house carrying a basket of gifts.
"Thank you for sending me to the hospital today, Yuanchun. I will go to the hospital tomorrow to complete the admission procedures. I have listened to your advice. You are a young girl, but you speak like an adult. I have lived half my life, but I am not as clear-headed as a child like you."
Director Hu left the gift, sat for a while and then left.
Yuanchun put a basket of beans and potatoes in her basket and said, "Director Hu, these are grown in our vegetable garden. I can't eat so much by myself. You can take them back."
Director Hu never accepted bribes, never made mistakes of principle, and never took anything from the common people. She was about to refuse, but Yuanchun held her back and said, "Director Hu, I didn't buy this with my own money. I grew it in my yard. If you don't want it, I can't finish it. It will rot in the vegetable garden and be wasted. It's shameful to waste food. Director Hu, you don't want to waste it either, do you?"
Director Hu then took it away.
But he left two cents for Yuanchun.
Vegetables cost one or two cents per pound, and twenty cents could buy more than ten pounds, so Yuanchun made a profit.
Yuanchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She released her mental power and secretly added ten eggs to Director Hu's vegetable basket. As Director Hu walked, he felt that the basket was a little heavier, but he didn't care much.
When he got home and found ten eggs in the vegetable basket, Director Hu sighed secretly, thinking that he had given too little money and that the child was at a disadvantage.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yuanchun wore simple clothes, carried a schoolbag, and went to school to take the final exam.
She controlled her scores and kept them within 50 points for each subject, which was just above the passing line. When she returned to school to collect her transcript, Yuanchun was informed that she had been held back.
Grandma Chen got the news from a neighbor's child and was worried that the child would be in a bad mood. She came over to persuade Yuanchun, "It's okay, it's just a grade failure. Study hard in the future and your grades will improve."
"Don't be sad, let's go to my house. I bought half a pound of meat to make dumplings today. I'm slow and can't make so many. Help me make them and we can have dinner at my house."
Grandma Chen took Yuanchun to the Chen family next door.
Yuanchun seemed to have been persuaded by Grandma Chen. She chatted and laughed with Xiaohuzi while making dumplings.
Yuanchun did not eat the Chen family's dumplings in vain. She brought a large winter melon weighing about ten pounds from home. A trellis was built at the entrance of the Song family. In the first half of the year, Hong Xiaoping planted a lot of climbing vegetables under the trellis, including bitter melon, loofah, pumpkin, winter melon, gourd, cantaloupe, and watermelon.
Yuanchun had so much food that she couldn't finish it, so she gave most of it to her neighbors.
In the evening, Grandma Chen cut a piece of winter melon and made a winter melon soup. She also put some dried shrimps sent by Xiaohu’s mother’s family in it. It was fresh and fragrant.
Of course it smells good.
When Grandma Chen wasn't paying attention, Yuanchun secretly poured a small cup of spiritual spring water into the winter melon soup, which could improve the Chen family's physique and prolong their lifespan.
After eating and drinking, Yuanchun wanted to help wash the dishes, but was pulled out of the kitchen by Xiaohu's mother. "There are only a few dishes, why do you need to get your hands dirty? Go away, go play with Xiaohu."
This is a three-year-old child who treats her as if she were a little tiger.
Yuanchun ran over to tease Xiaohuzi with a smile on her face.
