When Old Madam Xu was born, the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen!

She attended a new-style girls' school since childhood and studied abroad in her early years. Her rich life experience enabled her to see through phenomena and see the essence of things.

She doesn't allow any fools in her family. Someone can be mediocre but not stupid, and certainly not be fooled into becoming a fool.

Xu Yingying smiled and said, "Mom, I know. We should take the essence and discard the dross. Foreign technologies are more advanced than ours, so we should learn from them. As for the messy dross from abroad, we should discard it."

She has reached the age of forty, when she is free from all doubts. If she still cannot figure out some things at this age, then her life will probably be a mess.

Han Xiaorui saw the diamond jewelry that Old Madam Xu gave her. The name was very fashionable, "Heart of Alice".

As soon as I opened the box, I saw a lot of sparkling things in front of me.

There are two pairs of earrings, one pair of diamond stud earrings and one pair of diamond long drop earrings.

The necklace is made of large diamonds, with intricate patterns and luxury, as well as a ten-carat diamond ring, a pair of diamond bracelets, and a pair of brooches.

This set of jewelry can be worn as a whole or separately.

"Grandma, your gift is too expensive." Although Han Xiaorui didn't know how much it cost, she had seen the diamond jewelry worn by European and American royal families in some magazines, so she figured it out.

Madam Xu chuckled. "I gave it to you because it's valuable. If it's given to you, don't refuse it. Wear it when you're young. When your daughter grows up, you can give it to her, or give it to her as a dowry, or give it to your daughter-in-law as a gift."

Xu Yingying persuaded, "Xiao Rui, take it quickly. There are more in my treasure house. When we are older, we can be as wealthy as my mother and give many good things to the younger generation."

"Thank you, grandma. I'll accept it." Han Xiaorui said with a smile. She has three daughters and a son, and will have a daughter-in-law in the future. She has jewels in her hands, so she is also a generous elder.

This set of jewelry is really beautiful.

Xu Yingying was very envious. "Xiao Rui, when I need diamond jewelry for some occasions in the future, I will borrow it from you. I will take good care of it and will not damage it."

"Okay!" Han Xiaorui agreed immediately, "You can come to me anytime you need it."

She can't say she likes or hates these things, and she doesn't take them too seriously.

In Han Xiaorui's heart, these diamond jewels are not as attractive as a delicious meal.

"Then thank you first. You can borrow my jewelry at any time." Xu Yingying said with a smile and was very generous to Han Xiaorui.

"Yes!" Han Xiaorui agreed. She would not borrow any jewelry, and there were not many occasions where she needed to wear jewelry.

She loves the sea, and it is inconvenient to wear jewelry at sea.

The child has been born for ten days. His skin has grown and he is cute, with fair skin and a red little mouth.

"Grandma, have you and grandpa picked names for the children?" Han Xiaorui asked. "Ye Feng and I only gave the children nicknames. The girl will be named Ningning and the boy will be named Zhuangzhuang."

"Zhuangzhuang?" Xu Yingying laughed dumbly, "Little Zhuangzhuang, quite interesting. Ningning, the meaning is also good."

Madam Xu frowned slightly when she heard this. "It's also good to name the girl Ningning as a nickname and Ye Ningning as a full name, so that the two sisters can live in peace. As for the boy, a nickname of Zhuangzhuang is indeed fine, but a full name of Ye Zhuangzhuang is absolutely not allowed."

"Ye Zhuangzhuang, haha, it's indeed not very nice to hear, and it's a bit funny." Xu Yingying said with a smile, "Mom, you and Dad should give it a nice name."

Madam Xu smiled and said, "Chen comes from the poem "The Book of Songs·Lu Song·Panshui", which means "the Huaiyi people come to offer their treasures". It means treasure. Xiaorui, what do you think of this name?"

"Ye Chen?" Han Xiaorui laughed dumbly. "The name and meaning are both good, but grandma, have you forgotten Ye Chen in Beijing? This nephew's name sounds the same as his uncle's, which is inappropriate."

"This..." Old Madam Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She patted her head and said, "Look at me, I forgot this. Since the word Chen can't be used, then we have to use Ye Hun. Hun means beautiful jade."

"Ye Hui, very nice." Han Xiaorui praised, "Thank you grandma, Zhuangzhuang has become famous now."

"Xiao Rui, are you planning to hold a full-month banquet or a hundred-day banquet?" asked Old Madam Xu. She respected Han Xiaorui's decision.

Han Xiaorui originally wanted to hold a full-month banquet, but she changed her mind when she thought about the baby's young age and weak immunity. "Grandma, let's hold a hundred-day banquet. By then, the baby will be more than three months old and will be stronger."

"Okay, your grandfather and I think so too. These external forms, although important, are far less important than the child's health. The baby is more than three months old and has stronger resistance."

Han Xiaorui gladly accepted the elders' arrangement, "Thank you, grandma and grandpa. Sorry to bother you again."

"No trouble. I hope to come more often for such a good thing." Old Madam Xu has been in high spirits these days, and even her usual difficulty falling asleep at night has disappeared.

When Yang Zhigang came to visit Han Xiaorui, Old Madam Xu and Xu Yingying had just left.

Sister Lian took care of Han Xiaorui during her confinement and looked after the child. She drank lots of water every day, and Han Xiaorui made her little face rosy and she looked very healthy.

Seeing Han Xiaorui like this, Yang Zhigang felt guilty for not letting Han Xiaorui suffer any injustice in the first place.

"Uncle Yang, what's up?" Han Xiaorui asked, "Hurry up and sit down. There are freshly prepared snacks."

"Brother Liu, did I ever tell you that the Japanese were targeting several islands that were originally planned to be used to build the water park?" Yang Zhigang asked.

Han Xiaorui nodded. "I was told, Uncle Liu, that he would keep an eye on it. The village committee hasn't mentioned to me about tearing up the contract yet. Uncle Yang, has anything changed now?"

Yang Zhigang frowned, "Although the village committee hasn't said anything yet, Cao Xuewen has already taken a few devils to the island to take a look. It's probably something that happened recently."

"Uncle Yang, don't worry. We will deal with it as soon as it happens." Han Xiaorui comforted, "We didn't expect that Cao Xuewen was so polite to us before he came to power. We didn't expect that he would start to act so violently after just over a month. Don't say that he is the village party secretary. He is a leader above. If he ruins my business, I won't let them do it."

Yang Zhigang thought for a moment, "After all, we are from the same village. It would be bad if we make a scene. Don't do anything on your side. I'll go talk to Cao Xuewen first. We can't team up with outsiders to cheat our own people."

Han Xiaorui disagreed, "Uncle Yang, don't waste your feelings. When Cao Xuewen took those devils to visit those islands, it proved that he was willing to be a second devil to steal your wife."

"I have contacted the design institute, and they will soon organize professors, experts and related staff to come for inspection and research. We will design it independently without going through foreign companies. I don't believe that a water park or an oceanarium will fail."

Yang Zhigang was stunned. "What will you do if the village committee tears up the contract?"

Han Xiaorui replied: "The village committee belongs to the villagers, not Cao Xuewen. Besides, there are leaders above them, and it is not Cao Xuewen who has the final say. Uncle Yang, don't worry, I have a plan to deal with it."
