Chapter 306 The Little Princess's Charm!

It wasn't that Xiao Ran didn't want to take care of the little princess, but he was mainly worried that she would get sick if she caught a cold.

But seeing the little princess's eyes, Xiao Ran gave in.

Finally, we changed the little princess into a slightly thicker outfit and took her outside.

However, Princess Chengyang and Princess Gaoyang could only be taken by Empress Zhangsun. Fortunately, the two princesses were very obedient, but Empress Zhangsun was a little reluctant to part with them and Xiao Ran.

"Let's go, our senior is waiting for us at the entrance of the Agricultural University," Xiao Ruoying said.

The three of them took the little princess all the way to the Agricultural University, but waiting at the gate was not only the senior student Xiao Ruoying had mentioned, but also that senior student's teacher.

Xiao Ruoying got out of the car first and greeted the senior student, "Zhou Jie."

Zhou Jie walked over. "Ruoying, are these your brother and sister?"

Xiao Ruoying nodded. If she told Zhou Jie that Li Lizhi was her sister-in-law, Zhou Jie would definitely call the police. So she said that Li Lizhi was her younger sister.

Zhou Jie greeted Xiao Ran and Li Lizhi, then her gaze fell on the little princess.

Xiao Ruoying looked at the little princess, "Sizi, call her sister."

The little princess looked at Zhou Jie, "Sister~"

Zhou Jie gave a smile that could only be described as "kind," and then began frantically rummaging through her pockets.

"You didn't even mention that you brought a child. I don't even have a piece of candy on me."

At this moment, Zhou Jie's teacher walked over.

"What are you doing here? Oh, you even brought a child." Zhou Jie's teacher strolled over.

"Teacher Zhao." Zhou Jie was a little embarrassed. He had been so focused on watching the children that he had neglected his teacher.

Fortunately, Teacher Zhao has a good temper and was not angry. Instead, she smiled and looked at the little princess, and took out a tomato from somewhere.

"It's red!" The little princess's eyes lit up; it was her favorite tomato!

Teacher Zhao, still smiling, placed the tomato in the little princess's hand.

"This is a newly cultivated variety of tomatoes. It tastes better and has a higher yield than tomatoes on the market. However, it is not perfect yet, and it uses the grafting technique that you want to learn today."

Then, Teacher Zhao looked at Xiao Ran, who was holding the little princess, and said, "Don't worry, she's clean."

The little princess didn't care about cleanliness; seeing Xiao Ran nod, she took a bite.

"Hehe~ Good seven~"

For someone who has spent their entire life working the land, the greatest joy is seeing the produce of that land appreciated by others.

Teacher Zhao patted the little princess's head, "Good girl, good girl."

Then, Teacher Zhao looked at Xiao Ran and the others, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the experimental field. Since you want to learn grafting, you need to know some basic knowledge."

Agricultural University is, after all, an agricultural university, and what it is most famous for is its large campus area.

Fortunately, the school had already taken the issue of travel distance into account, so there are buses available on campus.

Teacher Zhao led the group onto the bus.

The little princess sat in the car looking around, but she didn't forget to eat her tomato.

Some students on the same bus greeted Teacher Zhao immediately upon seeing him, and when they saw the little princess, they asked, "Teacher Zhao, is this your granddaughter?"

Teacher Zhao waved her hand, "I don't have a granddaughter. They brought her."

Someone looked at Xiao Ran and his group, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Brother, is this your daughter?"

Xiao Ran, who was unexpectedly made a father, was speechless.

Although he is certainly old enough to have a little princess.

“This is my sister,” Xiao Ran said with a straight face.

"Oh, this." Realizing he had misunderstood, the student was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, your little sister is pretty cute. Here, have this with her." With that, the student took a small cucumber out of his pocket.

It's really tiny, only about the size of a thumb.

Seemingly afraid of being seen as stingy, the student explained, "This is the only variety of cucumber we have. I'm just letting you try it; it's very sweet."

Xiao Ran took the cucumber, thanked him, and then handed it to the little princess.

Since she had already eaten a full breakfast and was still holding a tomato, the little princess could only hold the cucumber in her hand.

She took a bite of the tomato, then looked at the cucumber, as if she were eating what was in her bowl while eyeing what was in the pot.

Xiao Ran took the tomato from the little princess.

“Hey, hey~” The little princess looked at Xiao Ran with longing eyes.

Xiao Ran smiled, "Shall we eat later?"

The little princess had already eaten half of the tomato. Although she took a bite every now and then, Xiao Ran knew that the tomato was full but still wanted more, since it didn't even have a scratch.

The little princess lowered her head, looked at her belly, patted it gently, and looked somewhat annoyed.

"I can't eat anymore~" The little princess knew she couldn't eat anymore.

Xiao Ran smiled, not minding at all, and threw the tomato that the little princess had left into his own mouth.

And you know what? Just like Teacher Zhao said, these tomatoes really do taste good.

Seeing that the tomatoes were gone, the little princess looked at the cucumber in her hand, and then at Xiao Ran.

While Xiao Ran wasn't looking, she took a bite of the cucumber and smacked her lips.

"Sweet~"

Looking at the cucumber with a tooth mark on it, Xiao Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The people around were already watching this scene, and they were amused by what they saw.

So one by one they started reaching into their pockets.

Just kidding, everyone has a few assignments to do.

So the little princess sat in Xiao Ran's lap, and the people around her placed the things they were holding into her arms as if offering sacrifices.

After hearing the little princess's sweet, childlike "thank you," the people around them went even crazier.

There were even little girls coaxing the little princess to call her "sister".

Finally, it was time to get off the bus.

Xiao Ran used a bag kindly provided by a classmate to pack all the things they had given him.

Xiao Ruoying laughed and said, "Anyone who didn't know better would think we came here to buy groceries."

Xiao Ran looked at the little princess and said, "This is all thanks to our Sizi."

"Hehe~ Good duckling~"

Xiao Ruoying gently tapped the little princess's forehead.

"You, you're only interested in eating."

The little princess shook her head and, in a good mood, babbled a bunch of things that no one could understand.

The group quickly arrived at the experimental field that Zhou Jie was in charge of.

“Come and see, that tomato we just saw was grafted from different varieties of tomatoes. This is also my graduation project,” Zhou Jie said.

"Generally speaking, the smaller the taxonomic unit of two plants, such as those within the same genus or group, the easier it is for them to be successfully grafted."

"Of course, this is not absolute, because there are also distantly related trees from different families and genera that grow together naturally. Therefore, it is possible for two plants that are not closely related to each other to be successfully grafted."
