"Xiang Dong, no, godfather. Are you still doing your homework in the study?" he looked at the carving table and other tools that were set aside.

Xiang An was interested: "I'm old, it's not as good as before." But occasionally, I would fiddle with it and make a few items for my relatives and friends. It just so happened that there was a bead missing a peony carving. I'll leave it to you!"

Tong Chaoyan pointed at himself: "Me?" That is, it is enough to fool those rich people who are dissatisfied with one bottle and half a bottle. But in front of a master of craftsmanship like the Xiang family, which has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, forget it!

Xiang An saw Tong Chaoyan's embarrassment, but he still tried his best to insist on his thoughts: "It's okay, I'm watching from the side." Even if you let it go, we don't have much in our family, it's just a lot of jade. As he spoke, he took out a small sugar jade bead that was slightly larger than a mung bean and handed it to Tong Chaoyan.

Tong Chaoyan looked at Xiang An's expression staring at this bead with anticipation, and felt that the corners of his mouth twitched a little: With such a small bead, it is difficult to drill holes by hand, and he actually let himself, a non-professional, carve flowers on it? Or is it a peony with heavy petals? The one who can do this is definitely not a godfather, it has to be a father!

Tong Chaoyan laughed dryly: "Godfather, count... Forget it!"

"This little bead is in good shape. No holes were drilled either. Relief, three-dimensional carving are yours. The pattern is also designed by you. My tools are at your disposal. Xiang An said, and solemnly put the sugar jade beads in Tong Chaoyan's hand. With a sense of ritual of handover, it seems that what is put in Tong Chaoyan's hand is not a small sugar jade bead, but the inheritance of the Xiang family for more than 2,000 years and the future destiny.

Tong Chaoyan laughed dryly twice: "Okay!" took Xiang An's expectations head-on. Picking up Xiang An's special tools, he conceived the pattern of peony flowers in his mind. Go for it now.

Tong Chaoyan stabilized his breath and began the manual work of carving and grinding, and after a while, a prototype of incomplete petals came out.

"Do you want three-dimensional carving?" Xiang An was a little surprised.

While Tong Chaoyan was concentrating on his work, he did not forget to answer Xiang An: "Yes, three-dimensional carving." I know that my kung fu is more than enough, and I only have to make a fool of myself in front of my godfather. But I want to show all my strength, and I hope that you, everyone, will point out my shortcomings and help me improve my carving skills. ”

Xiang An looked at Tong Chaoyan, who was very stable with every knife, with a smile in his eyes, and his heart was surging: Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl, looking at my daughter's posture, she was born to eat this bowl of rice!

After Xiang Huairen went out of the study, he went to find Mrs. Xiang.

"Mom, what are you planning to do with my father, why are you accepting my sister as a goddaughter again? She is the daughter of our Xiang family!" frowned.

Mrs. Xiang's face was sad: "Huairen." Do you think Mom and Dad don't want to reunite with their children? The Xiang family has a big business, and your father and I can care about nothing, but what about those who point to the Xiang family for dinner?"

"Mom. I understand your concerns. I just want to give my sister a fair one. You, Dad, and me. None of us were involved in my sister's upbringing. Yu Qing has known her since she was six years old, and she has told me how many of her sisters have come to this day in misery, pain and strength. Yu Qing often said that giving birth to a daughter should be like a child!" Xiang Huairen didn't want his own sister to make any sacrifices and concessions for the interests of the Xiang family.

Mrs. Xiang pondered for a long time: "Huairen, you are also older, and there are some things that your mother will not hide from you." Your sister is the ...... your grandmother lost."

The old man of the Xiang family has two sons, Xiang An is the eldest son and has a second son. The rule of the Xiang family is to pass on the elders not to the young. Men are not passed on to women. The second son got married earlier than Xiang An, and gave birth to a son. Mrs. Xiang had a prenatal check-up in Beijing and gave birth. One is because of the high level of medical care in Beijing, and the other is that the old lady can dispose of it without hiding from the old man of the Xiang family just in case it is a girl.

Xiang An and Mrs. Xiang are not interested in the Xiang family's property at all, they just want to come together because of love, because the family will stay together for life. But Mrs. Xiang's adoptive mother, that is, the old lady, was willing to cheapen Xiang An's golden beetle son-in-law. After learning that Mrs. Xiang was pregnant with a girl, she bought the director of the obstetrics department to get rid of the child, but Mrs. Xiang did not agree. The old lady pretended not to ask about it. On the day of delivery, when the child was born, the old lady first called the old man of the Xiang family to tell him that he had given birth to a boy, but it was a stillbirth. Because the old lady was Mrs. Xiang's adoptive mother, no one would doubt what she said. Mrs. Xiang didn't even see the child's face, so she was taken away and thrown away. The old man of the Xiang family also fell seriously ill due to the loss of his eldest grandson, and insisted on waiting for Mrs. Xiang to give birth again before making a will.

In this way, Xiang An became the helmsman of the Xiang family, and the old man of the Xiang family gave the second son enough expenses to let the family move to Canada in order to avoid having a bad impact on the Xiang family after his death. and asked the richest family in the Northeast to monitor the second son and not allow him to come back. The matter of throwing the child has become the lifeline of the Xiang family and his wife in the hands of the old lady. As long as the Xiang family and his wife dare to disobey the old lady, the old lady will beat her back, saying that Xiang An did not hesitate to throw away her daughter in order to fight for the family property. The Xiang couple was criticized. will also bring his second son in Canada back to take over the Xiang family.

The Xiang family and his wife are for the Xiang family's thousands of years of inheritance, reputation, and stability. You can only do it. As for the 100,000 yuan wrapped in a small quilt when Tong Chaoyan was thrown, it should be the director of the obstetrics department, who took it out of his stolen money in order to atone for his sins.

And why did the old lady fight so hard? Because the facial paralysis housekeeper is the old lady's child who doesn't know who she is pregnant with.

After listening to Mrs. Xiang's story, Xiang Huairen clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white: "The old immortal is really vicious! This is to make my sister enter the Xiang family without justifying it for the rest of her life! I also want to indirectly control the Xiang family with her wild seeds." Mom, even though I studied law. But I really want to kill her!"

Mrs. Xiang shook her head gently: "Huairen." Don't do stupid things. Mom believed that everything in the world would have retribution. Your dad and I have never done anything unreasonable. So God also let us find your sister. The old lady always thinks that she controls the entire Xiang family, and treats me and your father as puppets. The extremes of things will be reversed, and she will be killed by her own greed. ”

Tong Chaoyan has carved a part of the heart of the peony flower, and continues to carve it with full attention. The phone rang, and it was Zhang Molan's video.

Tong Chaoyan hurriedly put down the work in his hand: "Teacher Zhang." "The timbre is delicate and the complexion is sweet.

Zhang Molan naturally smiled sweetly when she saw her little girlfriend who had just been taken away by the official announcement, but she quickly frowned: "Chaoyan." Xiang Dong recognizes you as his goddaughter?"

Tong Chaoyan looked at Xiang An who was standing beside him, and then looked at Zhang Molan, who was frowning and worried about himself in the video: "Yes, it didn't take long to say it, how did you know?"

Zhang Molan paused: "Chaoyan." You haven't even looked at your phone for a while. I don't know who gave the media the wind, and the Internet has gone crazy. said that you like old men, just announced it to me, and recognized Xiang Dong as a godfather. I don't know if it's a lack of dad or money...... In short, it's hard to hear. I'll go over and look for you tomorrow!" Zhang Molan already knew who did it.

"Don't worry, it's a big deal! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow." Tong Chaoyan also immediately guessed who did it, smiled indifferently, and gave Zhang Molan a 'wood' at the screen. Hang up your phone. Continue carving.

Xiang An gritted his teeth so much that he could see his cheekbones: "Disrespect for the old!"

Tong Chaoyan stopped Xiang An with a smile: "Godfather." Let your mother-in-law let the horses come. Just probe her depths, know yourself and know that she will not be defeated in a hundred battles!"
