Chapter 21: Jade
Chapter 21 Jade
Zhang Shanhai went to the creek of Caiyun Farm alone.
Autumn is the dry season, when the creek is up to the foot and large pebbles are exposed to the air. Zhang Shanhai originally came to pick up beautiful pebbles, but he didn't expect to arouse Liu Daonan's interest.
"Boy, pick up some of those swarthy pebbles and have a look. Well, and those dark green ones are pretty good too. Liu Daonan said.
Zhang Shanhai likes pebbles that are more transparent or have brilliant colors, and is not interested in those dark pebbles.
"Okay." Zhang Shanhai picked it up a little helplessly.
Sure enough, there was jade in the stream. Although the quality is not very good, it is almost the same. Liu Daonan said.
"Well, really. It's almost enough to be used to make jade talismans, if you can find a few pieces of better quality, maybe you can use them to refine magic weapons in the future. Huang Shiyin said.
"This is jade?" Zhang Shanhai said in surprise, he didn't expect that these ugly stones turned out to be jade, and the beautiful stones he selected were worthless.
"Well, well, it's jade, but it's not a valuable thing, but it's useful. Boy, look again, see if there are any better, and you pay attention to the green stones, preferably the kind that are green and transparent. The black one is the stone that is as red as black glass. Liu Daonan said.
Zhang Shanhai searched around, although he found a few pieces that were better than the previous ones, but he couldn't find the kind of stone that Liu Daonan said.
Originally, Liu Daonan wanted Zhang Shanhai to look for it everywhere, but He Ni and Zhao Hongxia had already found it.
"Stinky boy, I knew you were going to be here. If you get your clothes dirty, see if I don't spank your ass. He Ni shouted from afar.
"Shanhai, you stinky boy is really good, so I and your mother are looking everywhere. Don't you know that there is a big bad wolf in this mountain? Zhao Hongxia frightened.
There are wolves in the nearby mountains, but the wolves don't seem to like to come to this crowded place during the day. You must know that there are guns on the farm, and if the big bad wolf dares to come during the day, it is just to improve the life of the educated youth on the farm, although the wolf meat is not delicious, but it must taste a lot better than pickles.
Zhang Shanhai didn't speak, but his eyes were still rolling.
"You're such a big person, and you're still picking up rocks to play. Really. He Ni said.
"Mother, I'm only five years old this year." Zhang Shanhai reminded.
"Stinky boy, still talk back, don't I know how old you are?" He Ni smiled. The son has always behaved so old that he has made himself forget his actual age.
"This kid of your family is really, acting so old-fashioned. I still look like a child. Zhao Hongxia said.
What does it mean to look like a child? Obviously, okay? Zhang Shanhai was very depressed, put the stones he picked up into a small cloth bag of his own, and carried it in his hand. Where does Zhang Shanhai go, he always likes to put a cloth bag in his pocket, so as not to run into good things and be inconvenient to carry.
"Stinky boy, what are you picking up these rocks for? It's about to be thrown away. It's dirty. He Ni said.
"It's jade." Zhang Shanhai said.
He Ni and Zhao Hongxia couldn't help but laugh.
"You know jade as a little kid? Have you ever seen jade? Zhao Hongxia asked.
Where has Zhang Shanhai seen jade? There are some old ladies in the village who carry jade bracelets in their hands, but they are very precious, where will they show them to the little children?
"Yes. Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law carried a jade bracelet in her hand. Zhang Shanhai said.
"Then look, the stone in your hand is a little bit like someone else's bracelet? You are not slippery, but you are also jade? He Ni smiled.
Zhang Shanhai naturally moved out of the old ghost's preaching, "This is not black and autumn, this is black jade." You see, this is the same as the jade in the hands of Zhang Jingxian's mother-in-law. ”
"Hey, it's a bit like that." He Ni said strangely.
"How is that possible? If there was jade in this river, would the people in the village not know about it? Zhao Hongxia said.
"How is it impossible, how many people in the village know jade? Even if there was a piece of jade in front of them, they might not be able to recognize it. Didn't my mother say that he couldn't even recognize the same Huang Yanjing? Zhang Shanhai said.
"Okay, you can take this jade back. Mother doesn't care about you. However, now you have to honestly go back with me and your Aunt Hongxia, and you can't sneak out again. He Ni said.
There is another reason why Zhao Hongxia sent a letter to ask He Ni to come over, that is, Zhao Hongxia has a good impression with the educated youth who came to the countryside together, and Zhao Hongxia wants her good sister to check it.
"Didn't you say you're going back to the city soon? In the future, if the two people are not together, won't they have to be separated again? He Ni asked.
"Now we have a good impression of each other, and we don't have to live together right away. Whether we talk about it or not, we have to talk about it for another day. I'm in a mess right now. His house is not far from mine. The last sentence is the key, Zhao Hongxia's face was red when she talked about it.
"That's pretty much the same, but you'd better not rush to get married and have children now, there may be a policy of going back to the city in the future, but no one knows what the conditions are for returning to the city. So it's best to deal with it now. You are a girl, don't suffer. He Ni admonished.
"I'm not going to be as stupid as you. As soon as he talked about it, he deceived Zhang Yunyang. It's really a shame for our educated youth. Zhao Hongxia said.
He Ni couldn't help blushing, but recalling the situation when she was on good terms with Zhang Yunyang, He Ni's face was full of happiness.
"I know. Although my brother-in-law is a rural person, he is a good person. There are so many educated youths on our farm, who is worthy of a brother-in-law. If I had met him, I would have to dedicate myself. Zhao Hongxia said with a smile.
"The cubs are on the side! Say all you have about it. He Ni said.
"Alas! It's a pity! Huang Shiyin in the Zhang Shan Seagod Terrace sighed, "This girl has big breasts and round buttocks, and a handsome face. It's a pity, the age is too old, and when the kid grows up, people will already be old. ”
"Shameless! Cultivators are so filthy in their hearts, no wonder it is difficult for their Dao hearts to grow. Liu Daonan said.
"Niubi, you don't have to be so hypocritical, you dare to say that you didn't have a trace of distraction when you saw the handsome big girl and little daughter-in-law? Besides, you bullnoses are not those bald donkeys, I have seen Taoist priests who married a lot of mothers-in-law, and when they saw beautiful ones, they deceived them. Huang Shiyin said.
Huang Shiyin's words are really true, and Liu Daonan can't refute it, "Anyway, I'm not." If a cultivator can't get rid of the feminine color, the Dao heart will naturally not be pure, and he will naturally lose the hope of advancement. ”
"Wait a while, he will come here for dinner after work. Can you help me with my staff officer? Zhao Hongxia said.
"Okay." He Ni said.
