Chapter 732 Homesickness
Mr. Huo's status in the entire Chinese community is second to none, and as the first successor trained by Mr. Huo, Huo Zhenting naturally believes in his father's judgment. When he heard his father describe Su Ning as a genius that appears once in a century, Huo Zhenting immediately took the matter of copying Buddhist scriptures to heart.

After sending his father back to the Huo family in a limited edition Rolls-Royce, Huo Zhenting once again returned to school with his writing brush, inkstone, and paper. His attitude towards Su Ning also changed drastically. "Suning, this is my business card. When you finish copying the Buddhist scriptures, just call me directly."

"Okay! Mr. Huo." Su Ning directly took the business card handed over by Huo Zhenting, then nodded with a smile on his face and agreed.

"Suning, this is a specially made golden ink. If you run out, you can contact me and I will send it to you again." Huo Zhenting then specifically explained the bottle of golden ink, and then instructed the child in front of him.

"Okay! Mr. Huo, I understand." After all, Suning is a mysterious boss who has seen the world, and he doesn't have much feeling about this bottle of ink made of gold.

However, when Huo Zhenting saw that Su Ning looked calm, he thought that Su Ning did not understand the value of this bottle of ink. He guessed that Su Ning might think that it was just a bottle of the most ordinary golden ink. He couldn't help but feel a little disapproving of his father's respect for him.

After school in the afternoon, Suning returned home with high-end pens, ink, paper and inkstone. He saw that Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu had returned home early and were writing the homework assigned by their teachers obediently. Suning felt that there was not much difference between life in Hong Kong and in his hometown. What ordinary people wanted was nothing more than three meals a day and family safety.

Su Ning first cleaned up his desk, and then began to copy the "Heart Sutra" there. His top-notch Yan-style regular script appeared on the cut blank scroll like flowing water. Su Ning also slowly entered a mysterious state of selflessness, and he didn't even know when Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu were standing behind him watching.

"Oh my god! When did you two stand behind me?" Su Ning, who was not mentally prepared, was immediately frightened by Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu, and then questioned his younger brothers and sisters in a bad mood.

"Brother, your calligraphy is so beautiful! But how come there is a golden hall waiting for your ink?" Chen Jianghe looked at Su Ning with admiration and praised him, and then expressed his biggest doubt.

"Jiang He, Yu Zhu, this is a kind of golden ink specially made with gold powder. It is generally used by wealthy families to copy scriptures." Suning explained with a smile on his face, pointing at the bottle of golden ink.

"Ah? Brother, are you saying that this bottle of ink is made of gold?" Luo Yuzhu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly picked up the ink excitedly, then looked at Su Ning with an incredible look on his face and asked.

"Yes! A rich man asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures for him. He will pay me 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for each scripture." Looking at the money-loving sister in front of him, Su Ning explained with a bit of a smile.

"What? Twenty thousand yuan?" At this time, Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but get excited, and Luo Yuzhu's hand holding the golden ink couldn't help but tremble.

"Yuzhu, you'd better hold the ink in your hand carefully. If it breaks, the three of us can't afford to pay for it." Seeing that Luo Yuzhu was about to lose her grip on the golden ink, Su Ning spoke to Luo Yuzhu in a teasing tone.

"Oh." Luo Yuzhu also realized the recklessness of her previous behavior. She quickly put down the ink in her hand with lingering fear. Then, she looked at Su Ning in disbelief and asked, "Brother, is what you just said true?"

"Yes! Once we have these 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, the lives of the three of us brothers and sisters will be much better. I plan to buy a bicycle for each of you two." Looking at the well-behaved and sensible brother and sister in front of him, Suning smiled and expressed his promise to them.

"Ah? Brother, are you serious?" Chen Jianghe couldn't help but feel surprised at this time. He looked at Su Ning with an ecstatic expression and asked for confirmation.

"Haha, Jianghe, when have I ever lied to you?" Facing his brother Chen Jianghe's surprised expression when he looked at him, Su Ning asked Chen Jianghe in a helpless manner.

"Brother, I don't want any bicycle. I just want the three of us to be together forever." Luo Yuzhu, who had been silent on the side, said obediently. Of course, she knew clearly how difficult it was for Suning to maintain a family.

"Yuzhu, if you have bicycles in the future, you will have more time to study, so you must make sure to get first place in the grade." At this time, Suning expressed his expectations for them nonchalantly, and also wanted them to put their fighting spirit into their current studies.

"Ah? First in the grade?" Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock, looking at Su Ning in front of them with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"Yes! The three of us siblings have come here through untold hardships. Whether in terms of background or wealth, we cannot compare to the locals. Therefore, the three of us siblings must strive to be the best. Being first in the grade is my minimum requirement for you."

"Yes! We will definitely work hard." Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu looked at each other in surprise at first, and then looked at Su Ning with firm eyes and assured him.

"Also, please don't tell anyone about the Buddhist scriptures I'm copying, or they might create trouble for us three siblings."

"Got it, big brother."

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Suning simply stopped copying the Buddhist scriptures and took Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu downstairs to eat. Although the three siblings seldom went out to buy food, today's happy event really needed to be celebrated, so he simply took his younger brothers and sisters out for a good walk.

No matter how sensible Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu are, they are still two children in their teens. They still yearn for the prosperity of Hong Kong and of course they also want to go out for a good stroll.

Then the three siblings came to the busy street downstairs, and then Su Ning took his younger brother and sister to have dinner first. Noticing that Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu were so excited, he simply took them for a stroll. In fact, this was also the first time for the three siblings to visit a night market in Hong Kong.

By the time the three siblings returned to their small apartment, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, so they urged Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu to wash up and go to bed, while Su Ning continued to sit at the desk and copy Buddhist scriptures.

Soon, there was only the light of a desk lamp in this simple and narrow room. In the darkness, Luo Yuzhu looked at Su Ning's back with her big, flickering eyes, and suddenly felt a sense of security she had never felt before. Although she and Su Ning had no blood relationship, she still developed a strong sense of dependence and trust in Su Ning. Thinking of how Su Ning had always told them to study hard, Luo Yuzhu now had the idea of thanking Su Ning with practical actions.

The entire text of the "Heart Sutra" has only 260 words, so Suning quickly finished copying it all. However, Suning did not plan to hand it over to Mr. Huo immediately. He wanted to give it to him for at least three or four days, which would be more reasonable and in line with his specific situation.

It was not until the third day that Suning called Huo Zhenting. Then Huo Zhenting drove a luxury car to the school alone. After taking the copied "Heart Sutra" handed to him by Suning and reading it, Huo Zhenting could not help but feel shocked.

"Suning, is it convenient for you to go to the Huo Mansion with me now?" Huo Zhenting, suppressing his inner surprise, looked at Su Ning in front of him with a smile and invited him.

"This..." "Don't worry! Your teacher has already asked for leave for you." Huo Zhenting understood that Su Ning was worried about asking for leave, and then explained to Su Ning with a nonchalant smile.

"Okay! Sorry to bother you, Mr. Huo and Mr. Huo." Seeing that Huo Zhenting had considered it so carefully, Su Ning could only agree reluctantly.

"Haha, you're welcome! You give me the feeling of an adult." Huo Zhenting couldn't help but feel funny and opened the luxury car again.

"."

Suning got directly into the luxury car driven by Huo Zhenting, and of course sat in the passenger seat next to Huo Zhenting. Then the luxury car was quickly started and headed directly towards the Mid-Levels, and soon arrived at the Huo Mansion located in the wealthy area of Mid-Levels.

Mr. Huo kept flipping through the golden copy of the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, feeling incredibly surprised. "Su Ning, I didn't expect your calligraphy to be so good. I'm so satisfied with your copying."

"Mr. Huo, as long as you are satisfied." Suning said to the old man in front of him very humbly.

"Suning, I heard from your principal Cao that you and your brother and sister are all orphans?" At this time, Mr. Huo put down the scriptures in his hand, looked at Su Ning with a probing look and asked.

"Yes! My younger brother Chen Jianghe and I were adopted by our adoptive father Chen Jinshui since we were young. Later, the food in our adoptive father's house was not enough, so my brother and I left our hometown in Yiwu to make a living. Then I met my sister Luo Yuzhu halfway, and then we came to Hong Kong together by chance." Suning knew that it was difficult to hide his affairs from these big guys, so he briefly introduced the specific situation of his family.

"Suning, the experiences of you three siblings are really full of twists and turns." At this time, Mr. Huo couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the child in front of him.

"Mr. Huo, the welfare benefits in Hong Kong are very good. My brother, sister and I have also obtained Hong Kong citizenship. I believe our future will get better and better."

"Well, Suning, you are such a good kid." Old Master Huo looked at the child in front of him with deep emotion, then turned to his eldest son, Huo Zhenting, and said, "Zhenting, go get 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, and also bring the Diamond Sutra and the Avatamsaka Sutra."

"Yes! Father." Huo Zhenting turned around and left the luxurious study.

Soon, Huo Zhenting took out two scriptures and 30,000 Hong Kong dollars and placed them directly on the table in front of Su Ning. Only then did Huo Lao say to Su Ning with a smile, "Suning, because your copying far exceeded my expectations, I am going to increase the reward from 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to 30,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Thank you, Mr. Huo! I dare not refuse the gift from the elder! Then I will not be polite." Su Ning did not have any intention of refusing and directly accepted the remuneration from Mr. Huo.

"Haha, Suning, if you and your sister encounter any trouble in the future, just call your Uncle Huo directly." Seeing Suning's straightforward and efficient behavior, Old Huo felt very satisfied, and his tone became more intimate.

"Yes! Mr. Huo."

"Zhen Ting, please drive Suning back."

"Yes! Father."

"Mr. Huo, I'm leaving."

When Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu came back from school in the afternoon and saw the 30,000 Hong Kong dollars that Suning brought back, they couldn't help but count them immediately. After they counted them more than ten times without getting tired of it, they put down the huge sum of money with reluctance.

"Brother, didn't you say it was 20,000 Hong Kong dollars per book?" Chen Jianghe couldn't help but look at Su Ning in confusion and asked.

"The other party saw that I had done a good job, so he gave me an extra 10,000."

"Brother, you are really awesome." At this time, Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu couldn't help but give Suning a thumbs up in surprise.

"Jianghe, Yuzhu, as long as you two study hard, I believe you will surpass me soon." Su Ning once again encouraged Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu.

"Yes! Big brother, we will never let you down." Chen Jianghe and Luo Yuzhu also nodded heavily.

"Brother, since we have so much money now, can we send some money to the folks in Chenjia Village?" Looking at the huge fortune on the table, Chen Jianghe thought of his relatives in Chenjia Village first.

"Jiang He, sending money to the folks in Chenjia Village now would be harming them. The police back home would definitely investigate them. How would they then carry their loads of chicken feathers around to trade for sugar?"

"Huh? Brother, when can we do that? I miss my relatives in Chenjia Village now."

Looking at his younger brother Chen Jianghe, whose face was filled with longing for his family, and Luo Yuzhu, who also lowered her head in grief, Suning rubbed their heads helplessly and said, "Jianghe, Yuzhu, you are only in the third grade now. Add in the remaining three years of elementary school, five years of middle school, one year of preparatory school, and four years of university, and you will need about thirteen years. I also want to send you to study abroad so that you can learn more useful knowledge."

"Ah? Brother, then we won't be able to go back for more than ten years?"

"Haha, not necessarily! Maybe in another five or six years, we'll be able to travel freely between our hometown and Hong Kong."
