Ren Rongyan didn't know how to appreciate it either. He sat with Tuantuan in his arms and ate snacks. He waited until the father and son finished looking at it before he spoke: "Grandpa Wu, Uncle, is this an authentic work?"

"Yes."

The Wu family's father and son nodded at the same time. Their eyes lit up like light bulbs. They looked at Ji Luo and said in unison: "Xiao Luo (Luoluo), how much did you buy it for?"

"I bought the inkstone for more than 500 yuan, but I didn't spend any money on the ancient painting."

"The painting fell into the hands of a local businessman in Guangzhou. He was in a fabric business with a partner, but his partner ran away with all the money and left him only with the factory equipment and fabrics."

"He was desperate and finally came to the home textile factory to seek cooperation, hoping to sell his remaining goods to us at a low price. I bought all his goods and did not take the opportunity to lower the price. He gave me this painting to express his gratitude."

"According to him, this painting has changed hands several times since it was brought from Hong Kong to Guangzhou. The first buyer paid 100,000 yuan for it. He bought it four years ago in a private transaction for only 8,000 yuan."

Wu Jianbang smiled when he heard this, "This is a priceless treasure."

Ji Luo could see that he liked it very much, and smiled: "As long as uncle likes it, it's a pity to leave such a precious calligraphy by a celebrity in the hands of a layman like me, so it's better for you to keep it."

"My uncle likes it very much."

Like the old man, Wu Jianbang loves collecting antiques and treasures, and the gift she gave him was very much appreciated by him.

Ren Pan came out and brought the dumplings into the kitchen, jokingly saying, "With this precious painting, your uncle will be so happy that he won't be able to sleep tonight, and he won't be so anxious to get the inkstone in the old man's hand."

"Hehe..." The younger generations all laughed.

Wu Jianbang himself was also laughing. Seeing the old man staring at his painting, he immediately put it away carefully. "I'm not going to hit on the old man, but the old man is hitting on me. I have to put it away immediately and buy a few more locks."

"Why are you collecting it? Let me take a closer look." Old Master Wu hasn't seen enough.

"You can see that you can't take it out of my house."

Wu Jianbang first told him that no one knows a father better than his son, and the old man was definitely planning to take possession of this painting.

Tuantuan sat in his father's arms, a little confused: "Dad, what are Grandpa and Uncle talking about?"

"My great-grandfather and uncle-in-law both like to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings. They like the gifts my mother gave them very much," Ren Rongyan told him.

"Dad, I can draw. Mom taught me how to draw snakes."

Tuan Tuan would sometimes scribble with a pen, and Ji Luo was patient enough to teach him how to draw, but he had no talent in this area and could only scribble, but he thought he was drawing a snake.

"Mom can draw. You should learn from her and draw a picture for dad in the future, okay?"

"Okay, I want to draw my mom and dad." Tuantuan agreed.

Not long after, the kitchen announced that dinner was ready. In addition to seafood and dumplings, there was a large pot of fragrant and nutritious chicken soup, as well as Wu Jianbang's best braised pork and Beijing-style shredded pork.

"Luoluo, you are pregnant, drink more chicken soup." Ren Pan served her a big bowl.

Madam Wu just sat down and smiled when she heard this: "Xiao Luo, are you pregnant again?"

"Yes, I'm pregnant with my second child. I just went for a prenatal checkup this morning. I have twins. They are one and a half months old."

"Oh, what a happy event."

Old Madam Wu picked up some dumplings for the mother and son with chopsticks, smiling warmly and lovingly, "Your family has had a lot of happy events recently, with three granddaughters-in-law getting pregnant one after another. No wonder your father-in-law has been so proud of himself lately that his beard is puffing up."

"He looked half dead two years ago, and we thought he was going to die. After Rong Yan was found and had the intestinal surgery, he is as lively as before. Now he is getting younger and younger, and his hair has become a little darker. It won't be a problem for him to live another 20 years."

Mr. Wu often meets with his father-in-law. They are old brothers who have known each other for most of their lives. In addition to their relationship as in-laws, there is no need to explain their close relationship.

"Come, Rongyan, Luoluo, eat some food." Wu Jianbang called them.

"Uncle, we are not guests, so we won't be polite to you." Ren Rongyan picked up the small wine glass and stood up to toast the two elders who were drinking.

There are many varieties of seafood tonight. The three cousins ​​of the Wu family all like to eat crabs. One of them grabbed an orchid crab and peeled it, eating it with relish.

Tuantuan was eating dumplings and saw them eating crabs. He said incoherently, "Uncle, aunt, dad is really good at catching crabs."

"Then can you catch it?" the little cousin asked him.

"I can't. Crabs pinch my hands and it hurts. My mom won't let me catch them. I'll catch them when I grow up."

"These crabs are cooked and won't pinch your hands. Do you want to try?" The little cousin handed him one.

Tuan Tuan shook his head and said, "I caught it. Grandpa caught it for me. I don't like to eat it."

"Oh, you don't like it, then what do you like to eat?"

"Rourou."

Seeing that he liked to eat meat, Ren Pan smiled and gave him some braised pork, "Tuan Tuan, come here, the braised pork made by your uncle is delicious, you eat this meat."

"Auntie, I want some more." Tuantuan likes to eat meat.

"Okay, I'll give you some more. If you like it, eat more." Ren Pan gave him some more meat and vegetables, and looked at him with a doting look: "Our Tuantuan is really well-behaved, generous and smart."

"Rong Yan and Xiao Luo have educated their child very well. He is smart and polite." The two elders of the Wu family like him very much.

"Grandpa, I want to be the best child." Tuantuan responded generously.

"Tuantuan is the most well-behaved child. He is good-looking, smart, lively and generous. He should study hard and become a top student like his parents."

Tuantuan is a talkative person. He can strike up a conversation with anyone, young or old, male or female. He is not shy and has a great time chatting with the two elders of the Wu family.

After eating and drinking, Ren Pan asked his nephew to take care of the child in the living room, called Ji Luo to the study, and talked to her about some business matters.

She talked with her aunt in the study for nearly half an hour and discussed some preliminary plans. When she left the Wu family, her aunt gave her a small bag of cordyceps and abalone, asking her to take it back and make soup to nourish her body.

Ren Rongyan only has one day off and must return tonight for training. The place where he is training is a secret base. Ji Luo cannot send him there, so he has to send him to his grandfather's house and ask the old man to arrange someone to pick him up.

After sending him off, Ji Luo drove the child home. Tuan Tuan was a little unhappy, "Mom, when will Dad come back?"

"Mom doesn't know either. Dad is a soldier and his job is secret. We can't ask too much."

"Tuan Tuan, don't worry. Dad is super super awesome. Once he catches the bad guys and completes the mission, he will come back to be with us."

Tuan Tuan's eyes were bright and he looked proud: "My father is a hero, he is the best, he went to catch the bad guys and fight the Japanese."

"Yes, Dad is a great hero. Dad will protect us. Dad will definitely come back safely. We will wait for him quietly at home."
