"The ginseng seeds have germinated."

Yuan Ning went to see Ivory during lunch break, and Ivory told him so.Yuan Ning rushed over excitedly, and Ivory hurriedly shouted: "Don't step on them!" The concern was beyond words.

Yuan Ning stepped lightly, took small steps, and squatted beside Ivory, watching the small buds that emerged from the soil together with Ivory.The buds are so small, only a little bit of bright yellow, so thin and small, it's hard to imagine that they have the strength to push through the soil.Yuan Ning remembered that Ivory said that only the bravest and hardest-working seeds can get out of the ground and see the sun. He happily boasted: "You are all the best."

When Nenhuang Ya'er heard the voice, Qi Qi looked at Yuan Ning, seeing Yuan Ning's eyes full of love, they also happily raised their little heads higher.They can't speak yet, and they don't have branches and leaves to greet Yuan Ning, they can only squeak and scream like newborn children.Yuan Ning said to Yaya: "You take good care of them."

Ivory said: "I didn't take care of them. Plants don't take care of each other. We leave our mother from the moment we become a seed."

"But you also have companions!" Yuan Ning said, "You have many, many companions, and you usually help each other."

"That's not the case." Ivory denied.

"What's that like?" Yuan Ning was puzzled.

"It's not helping each other anyway." Ivory didn't seem to want to mention it.It looked up and looked at the empty sky, "The sky here is also blue, why are there no clouds and no sun? Where are they hiding?"

"Do you miss your friend?" Yuan Ning remembered that Ivory and Yiduoyun were friends.

"It's useless to think about it." Ivory didn't deny it this time, "It will never come back."

"why?"

"Because it became a rain," said Ivory. "I was told by the other clouds that it fell in love with a tree in the north and made a rain for it. I heard that the rain fell for a long time, and it made the tree dry and cracked." I don't think about it," Ivory raised his head, "I just wonder why I can't see the sun and the moon. I stay here almost every day, but I have never seen the night here. There is no alternation of day and night, four seasons I don’t know if ginseng seedlings can grow up well.”

Yuan Ning couldn't help but also worried: "Then what should I do?"

Ivory said: "Don't worry too much, there is a magical spring after all."

The ginseng seedlings chirped in response.It is the first time they have drilled out of the ground, and they feel that everything around them is fresh, and they try their best to lift their heads higher, enjoying the comfortable and beautiful light around them.

Only then did Yuan Ning feel a little more at ease.

Ivory told Yuan Ning another thing: "The water in the pond has increased again, and it is already full to two-thirds of the place. Maybe a little more can overflow those black things. I have seen it one after another in the past two days. Some light spots fell on the other side of the spring, it should be that the children you mentioned were taken home."

Yuan Ning was very happy: "That's good." He likes to hear happy news.He asked Ivory, "Are you still talking to the clouds outside?"

Ivory said, "Occasionally."

"Then can you help me ask them if they have seen my fourth brother?" Yuan Ning was full of expectation, "They should float far, far away, right?"

"That's true," Ivory said, "but they can't actually recognize humans, and I can't describe your fourth brother to them. It's like telling you what a flower looks like, like 'that flower The leaves are slightly rounder than the one on the left, slightly longer than the one on the right, and the spots on the petals are two more than the ones in the front. Find that one among the children."

Yuan Ning imagined it for a while, and was very disappointed.Yes, I can't recognize it at all!

"And sometimes even if it's the same cloud, it may not be the original one when it comes back." Ivory said in a low voice, "It's like the river has been flowing there, but the river water inside is no longer the original river water."

Yuan Ning said: "I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad."

Ivory said: "No, how could I be sad." It turned to look at the ginseng seedlings, as if waiting for them to grow up quickly.

Time passed quickly, and soon after the Lantern Festival, the school started.Zhang Xiuyan started school earlier than Yuan Ning, so there was no way to send Yuan Ning to sign up. Fortunately, Ms. Xue recovered and took all three children to Wangxian Primary School.

When they arrived at school, both Zhang Xiuling and Zhang Xiuwen said that they had grown up and didn't need their mother's company, so they asked Ms. Xue to send Yuan Ning to the first grade.As soon as Ms. Xue arrived, the head teachers of Class [-] and Class [-] greeted her and apologized to Ms. Xue for what happened at the end of last semester.A class teacher said: "The principal talked with Mr. Zhang, hoping to allow Ying Shaorong to continue studying at school."

Ms. Xue paused.

The head teacher of the second class said: "My idea is that it is not suitable for them to stay in the same class. Let Yuan Ning transfer to our class." Compared with taking over Ying Shaorong's hot potato, it is naturally better to ask Yuan Ning to come over !The head teacher of the second class looked at Yuan Ning kindly, "How is it? Yuan Ning, would you like to come over? I often hear Xiao Lan talking about you, and my ears are callused."

Yuan Ning looked at the head teacher of the second class, felt the kindness and love of the other party, and nodded obediently.

Seeing that Yuan Ning agreed, Ms. Xue agreed.She said: "Then please take care of Ning Ning in the future." She looked at the head teacher of the first class, "Thank you for taking care of Ning Ning last semester."

The teacher in class one was heartbroken. Although Yuan Ning didn't talk much, he was actually the glue in the class!Most of the children like to play with Yuan Ning, and any conflicts can be resolved quickly.He said painfully: "Where is it, classmate Yuan Ning is so obedient, with him I have less to worry about."

That's how the shift was finalized.

Hao Xiaolan immediately knew that Yuan Ning was going to transfer, and immediately asked Song Xingchen to help move the table and stools, and moved Yuan Ning's things to the second shift three times at a time.There happened to be someone in the second class who was sitting alone at a single table. She was a girl named Shen Jingjing, who usually didn't like to talk, and only Hao Xiaolan, who was the class monitor, would let her talk occasionally.Hao Xiaolan ran over to ask Shen Jingjing for advice: "Jingjing, can Ningning sit with you?"

Shen Jingjing raised her head and looked at Hao Xiaolan.Her eyes were a bit cold, as if hiding ice and snow that would never melt for thousands of years, anyone who approached her would be chilled all over.However, Hao Xiaolan is naturally outgoing, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She said happily, "Ning Ning is very good! He only scored two points lower than Song Xingchen in the final exam! You study so well, the two of you can sit together and discuss problems." !"

Seeing that Hao Xiaolan would continue to lobby Taotao, Shen Jingjing nodded slightly.

Hao Xiaolan immediately asked Song Xingchen to move Yuan Ning's desk over.

Yuan Ning had just transferred to a new class, and was a little uncomfortable with the new environment. Seeing many people turning their heads to look at him, he couldn't help smiling at them.When the others saw Yuan Ning's shy smile, they all had a good impression of Yuan Ning, and ran over to talk to Yuan Ning enthusiastically.

Shen Jingjing didn't say a word, but turned to look out the window.

Outside there was a class of students standing far away, as if looking over here.Shen Jingjing looked at him steadily.The student noticed Shen Jingjing's gaze and ran away, as if something was chasing him.Shen Jingjing recognized it, it was Ying Shaorong.They went to see the excitement of class one last semester. At that time, Hao Xiaolan tried his best to defend Yuan Ning, so that everyone who talked about Yuan Ning dared not say more.

Wangxian Primary School is very strict in selecting students, and will not give up any student easily after being selected.But being left like this, can it be assumed that nothing happened?

Shen Jingjing turned her head to look at Yuan Ning.

It's so nice to be well protected forever.

It wasn't until the class was over that the people around Yuan Ning dispersed.Yuan Ning noticed that Shen Jingjing had been quietly staying beside her. Although she didn't express dissatisfaction, she didn't seem happy or liking either.He apologized to Shen Jingjing: "I'm sorry, did I disturb you?" In the past, he also liked to stay quietly and didn't like being disturbed by others.

Shen Jingjing took out her textbook and had no intention of talking to him.

It seems to be hated.Yuan Ning was keenly aware of Shen Jingjing's emotions, so she stopped talking and took out her textbooks to prepare for class.However, on the first day of school, there were basically no new lessons to listen to, and the teachers were all talking about the scope and content of learning this semester.

Yuan Ning opened the notebook and quickly recorded what the teacher said on it, highlighting the parts that he didn't understand during the self-study.

While listening to the lecture, Shen Jingjing glanced at Yuan Ning's notes, and found that Yuan Ning's writing was neat and beautiful, and then looked at her own notebook, feeling inexplicably displeased.She was third in the final exam last semester, but she was ten points less than Song Xingchen and Yuan Ning. The gap does not sound too big, but in Shen Jingjing's heart, it was like a huge gap, separating her from Song Xingchen and Yuan Ning. far away.

Shen Jingjing withdrew her thoughts, not letting herself be distracted.

During recess, Hao Xiaolan came over to play with Yuan Ning, and Song Xingchen also came over.Song Xingchen said to Yuan Ning: "I saw the report, but I didn't expect such a thing to be involved when we went to buy books last time."

Hao Xiaolan said angrily: "Those kidnappers are really disgusting. Luckily Director Liu is here! I heard from my father that the impact of this incident is too bad. Those kidnappers have been given heavy sentences. Most of them will never get out of prison for the rest of their lives. Will get shot."

Yuan Ning noticed another point: "Are you reconciled with your father?"

Hao Xiaolan nodded, and said to Yuan Ning, "I told Dad about your fourth brother for you, and Dad will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

Yuan Ning said, "Thank you."

Song Xingchen interrupted: "Have you done all the tutoring materials you bought? I have some topics I want to discuss with you."

Yuan Ning readily agreed.

Shen Jingjing watched them quietly from the side.
