Chapter 1917 Artemisia Baba (4)
Ruan Jiaojiao pressed the doorbell outside the door. After a few seconds, footsteps were heard from inside the house. The door opened and it was Madam Shen. Seeing Ruan Jiaojiao and Lu Yu standing outside the door, Madam Shen was very happy: "It's Jiaojiao, do you want to come in and sit down?" After saying that, she looked at Lu Yu standing beside her: "Is this also Jiaojiao's brother?"
Seeing that it was Madam Shen, Ruan Jiaojiao also breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and smiled, "Aunt Su, this is my godmother's eldest son, Brother Lu Yu." Then she handed over the small basket in her hand: "Aunt Su, I won't go in. My grandma is still waiting for me to go back home for dinner. These are some snacks made by my grandma. They are from our hometown. They are called mugwort cakes. Please try them."
"Oh, that's too polite." Mrs. Shen is a straightforward person. She has sent some food from abroad to the Ruan family these days. She took the small basket handed over by Ruan Jiaojiao and turned around and said, "Wait a moment, Aunt Su will make room for the basket for you."
Ruan Jiaojiao responded and waited outside with Lu Yu.
Inside the house, when Mrs. Shen came in with a small basket, she saw Shen Bai standing by the telephone in the living room and making a phone call, so she shouted at the top of her voice: "Xiaobai, come and try this snack sent by the Ruan family. It seems to be called something like Artemisia Baba. This name is also interesting..."
The call was from Shen Ting. Now 50,000 yuan is not a small amount of money. If you want to withdraw it, you will not only have to call back, but also need to make an appointment in advance. So Shen Ting called home first, and Shen Bai received this call now.
50,000 yuan is nothing to the Shen family, but Shen Ting can't spend so much money when traveling. Shen Bai was afraid that he was cheated or something happened, so his expression was a little serious.
Mrs. Shen saw that his expression was not right, so she came over and asked, "What's wrong? Who called?"
Mrs. Shen was asking on the phone here, and Shen Ting on the other end of the phone just heard what Mrs. Shen called. After a moment of shock, he asked Shen Bai anxiously, "Brother, what did mom say just now?!"
Shen Bai looked at Mrs. Shen beside him, and listened to Shen Ting's anxious questioning on the other end of the phone, so he simply gave the phone to Mrs. Shen and said, "You can talk about it yourself."
Mrs. Shen took the phone suspiciously, and said to Shen Bai, "Go and clear the things in the basket, return the basket to Jiaojiao outside, don't let her wait too long."
Shen Bai nodded. Although he was a little reluctant to accept the things in the basket, his good upbringing prevented him from showing it.
Shen Ting on the other end of the phone was still anxiously asking Mrs. Shen, "Mom, what did you just say? What mugwort baba?" When Shen Ting asked this question, his heartbeat accelerated.
Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "You have sharp ears. You can hear it so clearly through the phone. The Ruan family next door made some snacks from their hometown and sent them over. They said it was called Artemisia Baba."
"Artemisia Baba..." Shen Ting muttered to himself on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, this name is also quite strange. By the way, what did you say to your brother just now?"
Shen Ting was still mumbling to himself about Artemisia Baba. Mrs. Shen called him twice again, and he came back to his senses. He said in a daze: "Nothing, Mom, I have other things to do. I'll hang up first."
Shen Ting hung up the phone and sat on the bed for a long time without coming back to his senses.
