Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

He Xi understood why the grandparents were so nervous. In this era, carriages were not uncommon, and wheelchairs were just a small innovation, not something completely new.

However, what she valued was the boy's character. He had the courage to think and try, and this quality was far more precious than other qualities.

"Don't worry. What I admire is your grandson's character. As long as he is carefully cultivated, he will surely achieve something in time." He Xi said with a smile.

"Oh, we are just ordinary farmers. How can we achieve anything great?" Although the old man's face was filled with smiles, his words still revealed a bit of humility.

"Old man, you are too modest. In my opinion, your grandson has a bright future!" He Xi has traveled through time for decades and has long been proficient in the ways of dealing with people. He is not stingy when praising others and his attitude is extremely sincere.

The old man was so overwhelmed by the praise that his eyes lit up when he looked at his grandson.

Shitou had been stunned for a long time. In fact, he had always been different. In this era, research was a laborious and unrewarding job.

Many people in the village think that the boy from the Shi family is a weirdo.

All day long, he neither works on the farm nor looks for other ways to make a living, but instead spends his time fiddling with these seemingly useless items at home.

They asserted that if this continued, Shitou would never be able to marry in the future.

Shitou once tried to argue that he firmly believed that what he was doing was of great significance.

However, for others, anything that cannot be eaten or exchanged for money is considered useless. For them, only what can fill their stomachs is important.

He himself had worked hard for it, but deep down he knew that it was just his personal passion.

Fortunately, his grandfather was very supportive of him. To be precise, this support came more from love and reluctance to criticize him too much. In fact, his grandfather did not think highly of what he did.

He made the chair this time because he saw his grandfather suffering from unbearable pain and unable to get out of bed every time it rained, so he came up with an idea.

However, his parents and uncles and aunts sneered at him, thinking that it was just another time-consuming and laborious toy. But Grandpa couldn't bear to disappoint him, and went out in a wheelchair with great enthusiasm.

He also wanted to prove to his family that his grandson was not a complete failure. Although he was not optimistic about his grandson, he still wanted to clear his name. Unfortunately, the grandfather could not control the direction of the wheelchair, and it unexpectedly overturned, even blocking the road, and almost offended the nobleman.

The old man felt a little timid, but still tried his best to give a comprehensive account: "Your Highness, my grandson is smart and skilled. Our family is poor and can barely get enough food. These things are all made by him, so they look a little crude."

The old man couldn't help but defend his grandson. He knew in his heart that this was a rare opportunity.

Maybe his grandson can really bring honor to the family.

He Xi suddenly realized, no wonder this thing is so simple, if you think about it, this young man is really good at it, to be able to make it to this level with such a pile of scrap metal.

After being smart, He Xi had a second label for this boy: clever and deft.

Shitou was obviously uncomfortable with the praise and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"I, I just did it randomly."

"You don't have to be so modest. In my opinion, you are very outstanding." He Xi said with a smile, her eyes full of admiration.

If the youth are strong, the country will be strong; if the youth are wise, the country will be wise; if the youth are rich, the country will be rich.

This sentence has profound meaning no matter in which era.

The current era seems prosperous on the surface, but in fact, there are undercurrents. It is difficult to notice such changes when one is in it, but He Xi knows this very well.

"I wonder if you are interested in studying at the Salesian Home?" He Xi thought for a moment and then extended an invitation to Shi Tou.

If he can receive good training, he may become an outstanding scientist in the future.

“Salesia?” Shitou asked in surprise, because he had never received any education and it would be a blessing if he had the opportunity to learn.

"Yes, you can learn more there, and it will allow you to continue doing... doing these." He Xi pointed to the wheelchair outside with a gentle smile on his face.

She knew that Shitou must have done these things because he liked it, and interest is often the best teacher. Only by continuous learning and practice can he go further and further on this path.

Sure enough, when Shitou heard what Hexi said, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw new hope. His eyes were full of expectations for the future, which made Hexi feel very relieved.

However, at this moment, the old man next to him suddenly reacted and gently pushed the stone.

"Hurry up and kneel down to thank the princess for her kindness." The old man was so excited that his face turned red and his voice trembled. Tears of gratitude flashed in his eyes, which was a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.

His smile was so bright that even his teeth were showing, but his eyes were not. Oh no, his teeth were gone too.

At this moment, the old man was filled with emotion. He had always believed that his grandson had extraordinary talent and potential, but he just lacked an opportunity to show it.

Ahem, it just wasn’t very obvious before.

Now, this opportunity has finally come, and it comes from the noble Princess. He knows very well that this opportunity is hard to come by, and for them, it is simply a pie in the sky.

Unexpectedly, good times come after bad times. He knew his grandson would have a bright future! Looking at everything in front of him, the old man couldn't help but think of the hardships in the past.

He once thought that his family would always live in poverty and misery, but now, he sees hope and the future.

Shitou suddenly understood and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, Princess. I will definitely study hard!"

He Xi winked at the guards beside him, and they immediately stepped forward to lift up the stone.

"What's your name? As long as you study hard and do in-depth research after entering the Salesian Convent, you will not disappoint me."

"I...my name is Shitou, I'm from Liujia Village, and my last name is Shi." Shitou was a simple child who spoke a little unfluently. Although he tried his best to express himself clearly, his words were still a little incoherent.

However, He Xi roughly understood Shitou's situation. His family moved to Liujia Village from other places. Most people in the village had the surname Liu, but their surname was Shi.

In addition, the stone has no official name, and people usually just call it stone.
