Chapter 129: Conch Beads
The time soon came to June 1st, and Zhou Haihua called Jiang Zhenzhen early, urging her to wash her face and dress well, and brought a new set of clothes for Jiang Zhenzhen to change into.
"New clothes?" Jiang Zhenzhen opened her eyes and looked at the shirt in Zhou Haihua's hand next to the bed, the shirt was white. It is dotted with red, blue and yellow dots, which looks very small and fresh.
Zhou Haihua said with a smile: "I bought a piece of cloth and made it myself, try it on and see if it looks good." ”
Although Jiang Zhenzhen felt that this little fresh style of clothes was not suitable for her, she still happily took it and put it on: "Mom, when did you make clothes, why haven't I seen you make clothes?" ”
Zhou Haihua asked funny: "When have you ever been at home?" ”
Jiang Zhenzhen: "Yes." ”
Zhou Haihua is very fitted, the waist is not tight or loose, and the length is just right, Jiang Zhenzhen raised her arm, and her armpits are not tight, and it is very comfortable to wear: "Mom, it is just right to wear, Mom, your craftsmanship is really good." ”
But Zhou Haihua frowned, she looked at Jiang Zhenzhen's face, looked at the dress again, and couldn't help but say, "Are you cutting your hair again?" I told you to have long hair, but you didn't. ”
Jiang Zhenzhen touched her hair: "No, no." "Maybe her hair is growing too slowly, it's been more than a month, and her hair hasn't grown much.
Zhou Haihua said: "Don't cut your hair in the future, girls still look good with long hair." ”
Jiang Zhenzhen nodded: "Okay, then I'll stay for a while." "She used to have short hair, partly because it was easy to work, and partly because she had long hair that was once ridiculed for being ugly.
However, Jiang Zhenzhen has already seen it after being reborn, she likes long hair, so keep long hair, no matter what others say.
"Mom, what kind of food do you make, why does it smell so good?" Jiang Zhenzhen held the basin and mouthwash cup she used for washing, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she smelled the strong aroma of food.
Zhou Haihua said: "Don't you all like to eat conch, I fried a conch slices, simmered a pot of rice porridge, and made a few steamed eggs with sea urchin." ”
The conch was brought by Jiang Zhenzhen, and where did the sea urchin come from?
Zhou Haihua seemed to understand Jiang Zhenzhen's doubts, and said, "This morning, your brother Dasheng went to catch the sea and sent us some sea urchins...... Spring breeze! Chunjiao! You two brush your teeth and stop fighting. ”
Zhou Haihua suddenly roared, and the two children looked at Zhou Haihua one after another.
Jiang Chunjiao complained: "It was my brother who provoked me first!" ”
Jiang Chunfeng: "No, obviously I arrived first, but my sister wants to grab my small bench." ”
Jiang Chunjiao was about to cry: "That was originally my bench!" I've been sitting on that bench before. ”
Jiang Zhenzhen didn't say anything when she saw that Zhou Haihua had mediated in the past, she thought while fetching water and brushing her teeth, these children are really energetic, they can quarrel when they grab a bench.
After she had washed up, she smeared some cream on her face and went into the kitchen, ready to bring her food and chopsticks to the table in the courtyard.
After she lifted the lid of the pot, she first saw four sea urchin steamed eggs, first tried to have a hand directly, and found that the plate was too hot, so she turned around and planned to find a rag or something to cushion her hands.
Suddenly, I was caught by two pink beads next to the board.
These two pink beads are very round, slightly oval-shaped, about a centimeter in diameter, and under their smooth surface, they seem to bloom with clusters of flames, which is really beautiful.
Jiang Zhenzhen grabbed the two beads, ran out of the kitchen quickly and came to Zhou Haihua and asked, "Mom, where did these two beads come from?" ”
Zhou Haihua looked at Jiang Zhenzhen's palm and said, "It was dug out of the conch in the morning." ”
It turned out to be really a conch bead!
Conch beads, also known as conch beads, are slowly formed in the body of a conch in the same way that pearls grow in the body of mussels. Moreover, they cannot be cultivated artificially, but can only be attributed entirely to the creation of nature. It is said that it is only in about 50,000 conch shells that one can get a usable conch bead after removing the meat.
Therefore, only 2,000 to 3,000 conch beads can be found in the world every year, and only 20 to 30 percent of them can be used for jewelry processing.
In other words, there are only about 600 conch beads in the world every year that can be made into brilliant jewelry.
The two conch beads in Jiang Zhenzhen's hand not only have a pink skin like cherry blossom petals, but also have a large size and shape, if they are sold in Xingang, they will definitely be sold at a higher price than wild pearls.
Jiang Zhenzhen looked at these two conch beads and couldn't put them down, Zhou Haihua didn't know the value of the conch beads, she smiled and said, "I just wanted to throw these two beads away, since you like it, take it and play with it." She paused, "You can make a hole in the rope and wear a rope as a necklace or bracelet." ”
Jiang Zhenzhen: "Okay, then I'll take it." She gestured and put the conch beads in her pants pocket, effectively transferring them to the space.
After that, she turned back to the kitchen and continued to break the dishes, thinking as she worked, where did she get these conches? There were two conch beads at a time, should she go to the same place to look at it again, and then get a batch of conch beads back? What if there are conch beads?
This is not conch beads, these are all money!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't wait to go to the sea to take a look, but there was still an interview to do today, so she could only hold back the impulse in her heart and wait for the reporter to leave.
At about nine o'clock, the village announcer came to inform Jiang Zhenzhen that the provincial reporter had come and asked Jiang Zhenzhen to hurry to the brigade headquarters.
Jiang Zhenzhen was playing with the two children throwing stones, and when she heard it, she immediately put down the stones and stood up to go to the brigade headquarters.
"Wait." Zhou Haihua stopped her, "You just played with the dust in your hand, wash your hands first before you go." ”
Jiang Zhenzhen obediently pressed the well to get water, and after washing her hands, she was about to set off, when the broadcaster said to Zhou Haihua: "Auntie, you are here too." ”
Zhou Haihua was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic: "I, what am I going to do?" ”
The announcer smiled and said: "Comrade Jiang Zhenzhen is your daughter, Jiang Zhenzhen has grown up to be such an excellent comrade now, and there must be credit for your upbringing, of course you have to come." Comrade journalist must be the same as I thought, and there must be a lot of questions that need to be interviewed with you. ”
Zhou Haihua grabbed the corner of her clothes and said, "This, this, Zhenzhen, she was taught well by her father and brother, I, I didn't do anything." She stuttered nervously.
