Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Zhou Qi walked into the house carrying his bag, and the house was full of noise.

Han Juan was playing mahjong with some neighbors, while Lin Dong was playing with two children, one of whom was Nuonuo and the other was a little girl from the neighbor's family.

"Dad, you're back!" When Nuonuo saw Zhou Qi, he immediately threw away the toys in his hand, ran towards him happily, and threw himself into his arms.

"Do you miss your daddy?" Zhou Qi asked with a smile, gently picking up his daughter.

"Yes, very much." Nuonuo kissed Zhou Qi's cheek, with happiness shining in her eyes.

At this time, the little girl next to her suddenly burst into tears and rushed to the old woman and shouted, "Grandma, I miss my dad too. When will he come home?"

The old woman said sternly, "Don't cry, your father is busy at work and will be home by the weekend. If you cry any more, he will be home even later."

The little girl stopped crying. Although she was quiet, the grievance on her face was obvious.

Zhou Qi felt that this was not fair to the child, but he could not say anything, so he asked Nuonuo to comfort the little girl. Nuonuo obediently held the little girl's hand and went to play together.

The old woman looked at Zhou Qi and said to Han Juan, "This is your son-in-law. He is so handsome. What job does he do?"

"He's doing business." Han Juan answered briefly, and then said to Zhou Qi: "Xiao Zhou, take a rest first. Are you hungry? Mom will cook for you later."

Zhou Qi greeted the aunts with a smile, and then said to Han Juan, "Mom, let me cook for a while."

"Look at your son-in-law, how considerate he is." The old woman praised.

"It's not easy to start a business at such a young age. You must have suffered a lot."

"Yes, but our parents are the ones who work the hardest. They help us take care of Nuonuo so that we can work with peace of mind," Zhou Qi replied.

The old woman nodded in agreement and turned to the others and said, "Young people nowadays are so focused on their careers that they leave their children to the elderly to take care of. It's really hard for us as elders."

Aunt Hou at the side interrupted and said, "Old Qi, you can't envy me. My son doesn't even have a home until now. I, an old woman, don't know if I can live to see that day.

If you find it troublesome, just give the child to me and I will take care of him every day. It will be so lively!"

The old woman smiled and replied: "You are talking without any pain in your waist. I really let you lead me, and you don't find it annoying!"

Aunt Qi sighed and said, "Well, you know my family's situation. My son works for Yahui Jewelry in the city. You know that company, right? It's very large and has branches in many cities.

He is the general manager of Chunshi, and he manages a lot of people. We can't do without him. My daughter-in-law is a director in a state-owned enterprise, and she is very busy at work. How can she have free time to take care of the children? "

"Sometimes I think it's good enough for young people to be able to earn money to support their families," Aunt Qi continued.

"My son and daughter-in-law are very filial. Not only do they give me money during festivals, but they also give me various gifts on weekdays, such as rings, earrings, and necklaces, all of which are carefully selected.

I know they earn a lot, especially my son, who earns hundreds of thousands a year. However, I always feel that money should not be spent carelessly. Although I have said it several times, they still do it, so I won’t say more. ”

The people around heard the hidden meaning in Aunt Qi's words, and they were already used to her showing off attitude.

She hadn’t wanted to reply at first, but she made a point of wiggling her finger as she showed it, the ring on it gleaming so brightly that it was hard to ignore.

"Lao Qi, your ring is so beautiful." Someone praised.

"Oh, this, I don't quite understand. My son said it is tourmaline, a very special kind of jade. It is very expensive. It cost more than 8,000 yuan!" Aunt Qi said proudly.

"Young people nowadays are really willing to spend money, buying a ring for thousands of dollars. However, this is a token of love from the children. As old people, what else can we say? We just feel the warmth."

Han Juan felt uncomfortable after hearing this, thinking that Aunt Qi was indirectly mocking that the specialty sent by her son-in-law was not as valuable as her ring.

She was straightforward and responded directly: "What's the good of a ring? You can't eat it or wear it. It's not practical at all. I would be sad if it broke."

Aunt Qi said calmly, "There's nothing to worry about. It won't break easily. Even if it does, my son will buy me a new one.

We are getting older and we need to pay attention to our image. This thing is not expensive. If you like it, ask your daughter or son-in-law to buy one for you. My son can give you a discount. It can also appreciate in value. If you don’t like it, you can sell it. It’s quite cost-effective.”

"Xiao Zhou, remember to buy a ring for your mother as well." Aunt Qi said to Zhou Qi.

"Don't be reluctant to spend money. My son happens to be coming back today. Just tell him directly and he will bring it back next time. This will save you from having to go to the Spring Market specially. It's so inconvenient."

Han Juan felt aggrieved, thinking that you were asking for it from her son-in-law before she even asked for it. But Zhou Qi just smiled and agreed.

He knew what Aunt Qi meant, but considering that she was his elder, he didn't say much.

At this time, the little granddaughter Nuonuo shouted happily: "Grandma, look, what a beautiful stone, there are little fish on it!"

Nuonuo opened the package Zhou Qi brought back and found the jade pendant given by Du Bowen in a box.

The jade pendant was crystal clear and cool to the touch, making people like it at first sight. Nuonuo took it out immediately and ran to show Han Juan excitedly holding the rope.

Han Juan was in a bad mood because of Aunt Qi's words, so she didn't notice it immediately. But when she saw the jade pendant, her eyes lit up.

The fish on the jade pendant seemed to be about to swim out, attracting not only Han Juan but also the attention of the people around her. Han Juan put down the cards in her hand and looked at the jade pendant carefully, while others also gathered around.

"What a beautiful jade pendant. It must be very expensive."

"This fish is so lifelike, it looks like it's alive."

"I've never seen such a transparent jade. I don't know if it's real."

Just when everyone wanted to take a closer look, Nuonuo snatched the jade pendant back, ran to Zhou Qi, and asked, "Dad, is this for Nuonuo?"

"This isn't for you."

Zhou Qi stood up, found a smaller jade pendant from another box, helped Nuonuo put it on, and said, "This one is for you."

"That's great!" Nuonuo happily held the new jade pendant and ran to Han Juan again.

"Grandma, look, this is what my dad gave me. There's fish on it!"

Although this jade pendant is smaller than the previous one, it is made of the same material and is equally beautiful. Nuonuo turned to Aunt Qi and said innocently, "Nonuo's stone is bigger than yours, and it has a fish on it."

Children's words are always straightforward and innocent, but Aunt Qi feels uncomfortable after listening to them.

It turned out that Zhou Qi brought back more than just local specialties.

However, Aunt Qi remained calm and said, "This may not be jade. How can jade be so transparent? It looks like glass. Where did you buy it? It must be a regular jewelry store, otherwise it is easy to buy fakes.
