Chapter 38 Helping the County Magistrate Grandpa Out of Trouble
Unexpectedly, the next second.
Lu Shaoyuan suddenly grabbed his books and writing brushes: "It's just a seat, I'll give it to you!"
After that, he walked to the back and found a seat to sit down.
He never looked at Shen Ningning again.
The successful sly smile on Lan Qian's face froze.
She turned her head to look at Lu Shaoyuan, surprised: "Brother Shaoyuan, you just let her go? Didn't you say that this is your seat, you won't give it to others?"
Lu Shaoyuan frowned and said to her angrily: "Do I need to explain to you what I want to do?"
Lan Qian was so angry that she didn't dare to speak again.
The classmates were also very surprised.
Although Lu Shaoyuan had a bad temper, he was very studious, so he liked to sit in the front.
And everyone knew his character, so they didn't fight with him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan gave up his seat to Shen Ningning.
He didn't lose his temper at all, which was really strange!
Shen Ningning sat down silently, but didn't think there was anything wrong.
This Lu Shaoyuan seems to be easy to get along with.
The teacher came to start the class soon.
Shen Ningning listened attentively.
Little did she know that Lu Shaoyuan's eyes were always staring at the back of her head.
His mother's words echoed in his mind-
"Mom went to Xiangyun Village to see Shen Ningning. She is fair and beautiful, but I heard from the villagers that she had suffered so much before."
"She was an orphan and was picked up by the old man of the Qin family. As a result, she was insulted and beaten by her uncle and aunt, and was forced to live in the mountains."
"If it weren't for her this time, you might not have come back if you had someone send the group of human traffickers to the government!"
"So mom gave her a lot of silver, and she felt sorry for her. I heard that she and you were in the same private school. If you meet her, you must thank her well."
So, it was this Shen Ningning who saved his life.
Lu Shaoyuan retracted his gaze.
He would not take the initiative to say that he was almost kidnapped and sold, which was such a shameful thing.
But if Shen Ningning was really so pitiful, he would take better care of her.
At lunch.
Shen Ningning laid out all the food as usual.
This time, grandma made braised beef, onion and tofu, mushroom and rape, steamed meat buns with ham, and three-fresh pancakes.
In order to share with classmates, there were quite a lot.
Shen Ningning was generous. She was full herself, so she gave all the remaining meat buns to a fat classmate who could eat more.
Then, she took the cabbage soup distributed by the private school and sipped it in small sips.
Unexpectedly, Lu Shaoyuan passed by and frowned when he saw it.
"I can't eat anymore, you help me eat it." He said, and put the food that the Lu family had just sent directly on Shen Ningning's plate.
A whole braised fish, a large piece of braised pork, and greasy small green vegetables.
It looked hot, as if it had just come out of the pot, but Lu Shaoyuan didn't eat a bite himself.
Shen Ningning held a piece of Chinese cabbage in her mouth and raised her head silently: "Ah?"
Lu Shaoyuan turned around and left without giving her a chance to refuse.
But...
She was full too.
The little girl looked at her classmates around silently and saw that they were all salivating.
Shen Ningning put the plate in the middle: "How about... let's share it together."
Lan Qian saw it not far away and was so angry that her chopsticks were about to break.
A girl who was close to her whispered: "Is Lu Shaoyuan's head wrong? Why did he suddenly become so good-tempered after returning from a long trip?"
Lan Qian said to her unhappily: "Don't say Brother Shaoyuan!"
The girl felt that she was asking for trouble, pouted her lips, and left with the food.
Lan Qian stared at Shen Ningning's figure angrily.
Why does everyone have to help her? ! So annoying!
When the get out of class was over in the evening, it was already dusk.
Shen Ningning hurriedly finished her meal and went to find Mr. Huang.
"Master, can I go out? I promise to be back before the hour of Xu."
Master Huang stopped correcting the papers in his hand.
This was the small test they had just finished in the afternoon.
After seeing that it was Shen Ningning, Master Huang asked: "What are you going to do when you go out?"
The little girl lowered her head: "I want to buy something."
Master Huang thought for a moment: "I'll let two book boys accompany you. It's not safe to be alone, but you have to be back half an hour earlier than the hour of Xu."
Shen Ningning raised her head, her watery eyes were filled with joy: "Okay!"
She returned to the classroom, picked up the package that had been prepared long ago, put it on her back and ran out.
Lu Shaoyuan almost bumped into her. The little girl cherished the time and only left a sentence: "I'm sorry!"
Looking at her little back running away, Lu Shaoyuan wondered: "What are you doing?"
Shen Ningning pulled the two little book boys and ran straight to the street market near the private school.
They went to the embroidery workshop, which sold sachets.
The little girl looked at several in succession and picked out the cheapest one.
Five hundred coins each.
Shen Ningning did some calculations in her mind.
Last time, the county magistrate gave her a bag of silver and a fifty-liang silver note, but she never used them.
She just wanted to return them to him when she had a chance, and now the chance has come.
The little girl took out the bag of silver and counted it, about ten liang.
The money given by the county magistrate, added up to sixty liang, can buy one hundred and twenty sachets!
Shen Ningning paid the money readily: "I want one hundred and twenty sachets!"
The book boy following her was surprised: "Student Shen, why did you buy so many sachets?"
"You will know in a moment!"
After taking the sachet out, Shen Ningning found a wonton stall.
She first treated the two servants to two bowls of wontons, and then took out the sachet on the table.
"Here are some herbs that have the effect of relieving heat. They should be put in the sachet. You help me!"
The little guy smiled and opened the package. Inside were herbs wrapped in different handkerchiefs.
She had already sorted them out.
While the two servants were still surprised, Shen Ningning urged: "We have to hurry up, it will be dark soon."
About an incense stick later.
All the sachets were filled with herbs.
Shen Ningning was tired, and there was a layer of sweat on her white forehead.
But her eyes were bright, and it was obvious that she was full of energy.
The little guy put all the sachets into the package, took the two servants, and chose a place on the street where people were coming and going.
"It's right here!" She said, spreading the package on the ground and placing the sachets neatly.
The two servants were very puzzled: "Are we selling them?"
"No, we will give them to whoever wants them." Shen Ningning smiled.
After that, she cleared her throat, put her little hand to her mouth, and shouted: "Uncles, aunts, uncles, and grandmas, come and take a look, the sachets are free, they are free!"
Soon, passers-by gathered.
Someone asked: "Free?"
"Yes!" Shen Ningning's soft and crisp voice, her little face smiling sweetly: "County Magistrate Grandpa Fu knows that the weather is hot and is afraid that everyone will get heatstroke, so he specially asked us to help distribute it!"
When the people heard the name of County Magistrate Fu, they immediately became familiar with it.
They lined up to receive the sachets.
"Why did the County Magistrate send you, a little kid, to distribute them here?" Someone wondered.
Shen Ningning explained obediently: "Because we are students in a private school nearby, uncles and aunts don't have to worry about being cheated, this is free! If you don't believe it, you can come to the private school to find me!"
People kept talking--
"The county magistrate is still so good. Last year, my family's fields were very dry and cracked. He came to see me and gave me compensation!"
"Yes! The county magistrate also helped us farmhands who have no land to farm to find work."
Shen Ningning was very happy to hear these words.
She didn't know what an investigation was. She only knew that the county magistrate must be a good official.
I hope he can be cleared of all charges as soon as possible.
This is what she can do for County Magistrate Fu within her ability.
At this time, a figure stood in front of her.
The little girl looked up and saw that it was Lu Shaoyuan.
She picked up a sachet with her little hand and handed it over: "Do you want one too?"
Lu Shaoyuan pursed his lips and stood next to Shen Ningning decisively.
"It's already dark and you're not going back to the private school? I'll wait for you here for a while."
