Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Chapter 414: Thinking of the source and looking forward to a bright future

The reason why they were so polite was that when Xia Qingqing went to Gangcheng, it happened to be the time for her final exams. The military district called the school and said that she had an important mission and asked the school to make some concessions.

The phone call shocked the principal so much that he immediately notified all of Xia Qingqing's teachers that they would be given the green light for all of her subjects, regardless of whether she would come to take the exam or not.

After reporting to school, Xia Qingqing returned home and heard another good news. Xiao Zhiguang was executed by firing squad, and his ashes were collected by Xiao Yingyue and scattered in the stinky ditch.

Xiao Moli was sentenced to seven years in prison, but she went crazy, probably because she couldn't accept her ugly face in the mirror. She used the money from selling her brother to buy all kinds of medicines, all of which said they could repair her face. As a result, her face became allergic and ulcerated, and finally her face became bumpy, like the surface of the moon, which would scare people to death if seen in broad daylight.

She couldn't accept that she had become like a ghost, and was driven crazy and sent to a mental hospital.

Xiao Yingyue went to see him once and found that his madness was getting worse and worse. He would probably have to be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of his life.

In late September, Shen Qiubai returned. After he and Tie Niu came back from Gangcheng, they went to the front line and won several more battles. This time he was definitely promoted.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. The two of them spent a long time being affectionate with each other. After the rain stopped, they started talking about business.

"I have to go to the capital to count the cultural relics," said Xia Qingqing.

"I'll go back with you. We have more vacation time this time."

Shen Qiubai gently stroked her smooth back, his eyes became dark again, he was not full yet.

Xia Qingqing stretched and was about to take a shower, when she was suddenly suspended in mid-air.

"Wash together and save water!"

Shen Qiubai picked her up easily and went to the bathroom. Then the room was flooded with water, filling it with spring light.

Before going to Beijing, Xia Qingqing received a call from Eugene, saying that he would arrive in Shanghai in three days.

Xia Qingqing asked him to go to Zhuang Hongye to get the antidote, and discuss investment after she had finished her business in Beijing.

When the two men arrived in the capital, the cultural relics had just been delivered. Duke Astor was very attentive this time and processed it on an expedited basis, which was much faster than the previous batch.

The ship was filled with 10,000 cultural relics, most of which were exquisite ornaments and furniture. The Duke of Astor's ancestors had a good eye and only robbed the good things.

The group of experts invited by Shen Junrong were almost breathless when they saw these cultural relics. Some even cried and kept wiping away tears.

"I'm finally home. I can't let anyone take me away from here again..."

Xia Qingqing also felt a little sad. A weak country will be beaten. China will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future, and will never allow robbers to break into the house and steal things again.

It took a lot of effort to count the 10,000 cultural relics, so Xia Qingqing gave the list to the expert group and didn't bother with the matter anymore.

She made it clear that these cultural relics would be donated to the country.

The return of this batch of cultural relics even alarmed the top leaders, who called Xia Qingqing and her husband for a talk.

The leader looked much better and his migraine was relieved. Like an elder, he asked Xia Qingqing how he got the Duke of Astor to return the cultural relics.

"I can cure diseases. The Duke of Astor was afraid of death, so he had no choice but to obey me. However, he was very dishonest at first and only gave me about a hundred artifacts. Later, I scared him, saying that if he stopped the treatment, he would only live for two or three years. He was terrified and came to me the next day to ask for peace. He even bargained with me."

Xia Qingqing vividly described the Duke of Astor's bargaining expression, and the leader laughed out loud.

"No matter how cunning the old fox is, he can never defeat a little fox like you."

The leader spoke in a very intimate tone, just like he was chatting with his own child. They chatted for a full hour. Shen Qiubai also mentioned Eugene, who was also threatened by Xia Qingqing's poison and came to invest obediently.

"You are all good boys."

The big boss was so amused that he couldn't stop laughing, and his eyes became more and more kind when he looked at them. Some children became arrogant and turned into bullies who oppressed the people, like Wang Kangfeng, but there were still many good children, Xiao Shen and Xiao Xia were very good.

Before leaving, the leader personally wrote a few words, which read:

“Thinking of the source and looking far ahead”

After blowing the ink dry, the leader handed the calligraphy over personally, and Shen Qiubai took it with both hands.

"The future belongs to you young people, work hard!"

The big boss patted him heavily on the shoulder.

The secretary next to him was secretly shocked, and from then on he looked at Shen Qiubai and Xia Qingqing with a different eye. The rumor that the top leader particularly appreciated Shen Qiubai and his wife quickly spread throughout the capital.

These days, the Shen family's house is bustling with people, with someone coming almost every day. Some of them are former subordinates of Shen Junrong and his wife, but they did not spend much time with them, so the old couple can't remember them clearly, but they just look familiar.

But when talking about it, I still remember that the old couple were very happy about their visit and received them warmly.

Some of them were not related at all and had never even met each other, but others were very enthusiastic, as if they were relatives who had not seen each other for a long time, which made the old couple feel very awkward.

After seeing off the fifth group of guests, Cheng Yueyun rubbed her sore waist and complained to Shen Junrong who was also rubbing his waist, "You should think of a solution quickly. We can't let them come anymore. Qiubai and Qingqing just patted their butts and ran away, leaving us to clean up their mess. Ouch, my waist..."

The old lady is now full of resentment. There are five or six groups of customers coming to her house every day, and she hasn't chatted with her old sisters for a long time.

What annoyed her the most was preparing return gifts. These people never came empty-handed, but brought large and small bags of gifts, which were all quite expensive. It was difficult for her to refuse them in person. After all, they were guests and she had to treat them well.

But accepting gifts is definitely not an option, and she and Lao Shen would never do anything that goes against their principles.

There was no other way, the old couple had to prepare return gifts for these people, and the return gifts were more expensive than the things they brought. Money was a small matter, but it was too troublesome, and they were worried about what gifts to give in return every day.

Cheng Yueyun has a careless personality and is not good at dealing with social matters. She has been worried about preparing the return gifts these days.

In the past, when she woke up in the morning, she was full of energy and felt happy listening to the birds singing outside the window. It was another beautiful day!

Now she can't get up in the morning. When she thinks about the guests coming soon and she has to chat with them and prepare gifts in return, she feels terrible. Even the birds singing outside the window makes her irritated. She can't live like this.

"Don't worry, I've figured out a way."

Shen Junrong said slowly.

"any solution?"

Cheng Yueyun's eyes lit up and she urged him to speak quickly.

"Let's arrange for Lao Chen and Lao Si to go on vacation in Beidaihe and come back in ten days or half a month. Those people will not be able to find us, so they will naturally not come."

"That's it. I'll go make the call. Forget it. Come with me to Old Chen's house."

Cheng Yueyun hurriedly dragged her husband to Chen's house. Soon, the four elderly people decided to go to Beidaihe for vacation, and they executed it very quickly. They made the decision in the morning, set off at noon, and arrived in Beidaihe in the evening.

I went to meet several groups of guests that day, but no one showed up, so I had to leave in disappointment with my gifts.
