Jade is not jade

A few days later, after returning home, Wang Min threw a card to Xiao Long: "Here you are."

Xiao Long asked curiously: "Dragon Dream Club, what is this?"

Wang Min loosened his tie sideways and said, "It's an entertainment and fitness club, which also provides health massage and other services."

Xiao Long took a closer look, and saw that the card was exquisitely crafted, and the photo of the club with a light watermark looked quite high-end. In the lower left corner was a raised bronzing name "Xiao Long" and "VIP". To be used with the member's guarantor".There is also a small LOGO in the upper right corner of the card, which makes Xiao Long feel very familiar.

"How much does this cost?" Xiao Long asked.

Wang Min: "I'll do it for you, no money required."

Xiao Long curled his lips: "Even if you ask me for it, I don't have it, I've given you all my money."

Wang Min smiled and did not answer. He chose a day off to accompany Xiao Long to the club, and went around. Xiao Long was completely shocked by the luxury inside. Apart from the fitness area, swimming pool and other public facilities, there were many other facilities he had never seen before. Superior service ever seen!

His card is at the VIP level, which is higher than the gold card level, and it is estimated that no more than a hundred people in the city own it.The gold and silver cards below VIP are book consumption cards, and it costs [-] just to join the club as an ordinary member...!

Wang Min explained: "The VIP card is a special card for internal personnel."

"..." No wonder the logo looked familiar last time, it turned out to be a document cover pattern that Wang Min often took home and made... Bourgeois to die!

The two first took a bath in the special hot spring bath, and then, the masseur used jade boards and jade stones coated with medicated oil to give them a massage. Xiao Long lay on the bed and hummed comfortably, thinking that even the ancient emperor Not such a good treatment.

"Why jade?" he asked the masseuse.

The masseur said: "Because jade can cure all diseases."

Xiao Long was a little confused: "Yu can also cure diseases?"

The masseuse smiled and said: "Well, there are many functions of jade recorded in "Materia Medica". A lot of trace elements can better conduct energy, soothe the muscles of the neck and back, open up the blood in the veins, and help promote blood circulation."

Xiao Long: "That's it!"

Masseuse: "Yes, in ancient times, many people used jade to cure diseases, and some people used jade to grind it into powder and eat it. Isn't it said that Daji used jade to beautify the skin, and did the Empress Dowager Cixi sleep all her life on jade pillows? Jade is The pure essence of yin and yang can effectively accumulate energy, and wearing it on the body can promote health."

Xiao Long turned his head and asked Wang Min, "Brother, do you have jade?"

Wang Min: "No." There are quite a few jade articles at home, but he has never worn them himself.

Xiao Long: "Don't wear those wooden beads that cost ten yuan, I'll buy you a string of jade beads." Wang Min still wears the wooden Buddha beads that Xiao Long bought for Wang Min when he was a freshman in high school.

Wang Min looked at his wrist and said, "This is pretty good."

Xiao Long: "..."

After the massage, the two rolled the sheets in the VIP suite. Wang Min seemed to have gained a different energy than before, the spirit of dragon and tiger. He hugged Xiao Taki and rolled around and around until he begged for mercy.At the end, he put his arms around Xiao Long's waist with a smile on his face, and jokingly said, "After you massage, you don't like to make a fuss. You are very obedient and your body is very soft. Come here more often..."

"..." Xiao Long knew it, no wonder Wang Min was so generous to get him a VIP card, so it was his idea!

Once when Xiao Long was out shopping with Liao Sijing, he passed by a jade shop and remembered the stubble of jade beads, so he went in for a walk.

Wang Min used to care about whether he was jade or a stone, but in Xiao Long's heart, Wang Min was the best symbol of jade.

A humble gentleman is as gentle as jade; he is humble and self-effacing, and behaves calmly.If Wang Min is not Yu, who can deserve the title of Yu?

There are many types of jade. Agate, amber, and red sapphire are all jade, but traditionally, people think that jade is bluish-white, and Xiao Long is no exception.

The five-flowered stone-colored emeralds in the shop couldn't catch Xiao Long's eyes, only a string of plain white jades he liked very much, but the price was not "plain". A small bunch is so expensive!

The waiter said: "Sir, you have good eyesight. This string of white jade just arrived this morning. The color is very good. Although it is not pure, the bluish-white pattern on it looks like a green dragon wrapped around the white jade..."

Xiao Long's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's it."

The waiter asked, "Are you wearing it yourself or...?"

Xiao Long smiled and said: "Give it away, I can't bear to wear such an expensive jade myself."

Waiter: "There are also cheap ones, would you like to choose a bunch for yourself?"

Xiao Long joked: "The cheap one is not jade, but stone."

The waiter said: "Hehe, the ancients said 'jade is the beauty of stone'. Jade is originally a stone. Whether it is expensive or not depends on whether it is good-looking or rare, but on who it is associated with. In fact, I think those ordinary jades are also very good, as long as someone can wear them, nourish them with spirit, and grind them with body, they can reflect the true value of jade."

Xiao Long was thoughtful, yes, the essence of jade is stone!

In the evening, Wang Min received Xiao Long's gift, patted his forehead, and said, "They all said that string was pretty good, why would you buy this?"

Xiao Long gritted his teeth in anger: "You still despise buying something for you!"

Wang Min smiled, and put the jade bead on his hand in a blink of an eye. The wooden Buddha beads were taken off and placed in the jade string box, carefully treasured.

Life in C City is carried out in such a peaceful rhythm, there are small quarrels between lovers, and there is also the down-to-earth warmth of relatives.The only fly in the ointment is that Xiao's mother is still persistently urging Xiao Long to find a partner.

After covering it up for more than a year, just when Xiao Long was about to be irritated by his mother's urging, Xiao Meng brought an explosive news to the family——Qiao Qiao is pregnant!

Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were both surprised and delighted. The surprise was that this bastard actually planned to get on the bus first and then pay for the fare. The joy was... there is hope for a grandson!

Xiao's mother focused all her attention on her youngest son and daughter-in-law. Xiao Long escaped from the catastrophe temporarily and let out a long sigh——Xiao Meng, you have worked hard!

Xiao Meng and Qiao Qiao soon got married under the arrangement of their parents.Xiao's family can be considered well-to-do in City C. Although Xiao Meng's wedding was not as grand as Wang Hu's, it was still quite impressive.

Relatives and friends gathered together, when the three aunts and six wives saw Xiao Long and learned that he hadn't found a match yet, they all smiled and said they wanted to be a matchmaker for him.

Time flies, half a year later, Qiao Qiao inherited Xiao's mother's virtue of chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha all day long, and gave birth to a son, named Xiao Yue.

This child is much more likable than Xiao Long and Xiao Meng back then. Xiao's mother got such a baby bump, and she was so happy that she was several years younger. She was so busy, she completely forgot about Xiao Long's family matters back.

"I have to give my mother something to do, so she won't be idle and trouble you." Xiao Meng, who became a father, said so.

In recent years, Xiao Long and Wang Min have received several wedding invitations from high school classmates, including Gu Chun, Zhao Yujing, Yan Ni and others.

Friends of the same age around me are rushing to get married, it seems that if they are still single after thirty, they will become abnormal human beings.Sometimes when Xiao Long thinks of this, he can't help sighing. As he grows older, the pressure from the outside world also increases. Everyone who knows him will ask him if he is looking for a partner, married, and has children... I hoped to grow up quickly since I was a child, but now I hope never to grow up again.

Not long after, good news from Liao Sijing also came.The "good son-in-law" chosen by the goddess Liao Sijing out of everyone's eyes, the man's family background is average, he graduated from a provincial university with a Ph. .

When everyone was suspecting that Liao Sijing's brain had been knocked out, Xiao Long met her husband - Yang Rong.The first impression is that he is a bland and inarticulate person.When we met, he sat beside Liao Sijing in a well-behaved manner, shy like a little white rabbit, and he was pretty and gentle when he smiled, a bit like Teacher Shen.

Liao Sijing and Xiao Long were chatting at the same time, but he didn't interrupt, and listened dazedly, as if he didn't understand at all.Xiao Long really suspected that this kid was lucky to be able to marry their goddess classmate who had been his wife for more than ten years!

……

After Liao Sijing got married, only Wang Min remained "bachelor" in the Wang family.The elders in the family are also anxious about his life-long affairs, but seeing that he is so busy like a spinning top that he doesn't even have 2 minutes to go home, most of them are discouraged.Wang Min would stay at home longer only when the old Grandpa Wang called.

Grandpa Wang is really old, and his ears and eyes are not good. Even if there is a panacea hanging on him, he is still getting worse every day.When Liao Sijing got married, Grandpa Wang attended the wedding banquet in a wheelchair, and couldn't hold back within half an hour.

Wang Min also wants to take time to care for the elderly, but he is too busy with work. He is still young, and some things must be done by himself in order to grow as soon as possible.Although the father of the family is in charge now, he has been quite unable to do what he wants in the past few years.

So Xiao Long could only let Wang Min go home to talk with his grandfather and do his best to be a filial piety.In the past two years, he has often been in and out of Wang's house. Everyone in the family knows that Grandpa Wang also likes this younger brother whom his grandson recognizes very much.

However, this didn't last long. One day, Xiao Longshi received a call from Wang Rui, saying that his grandfather was dying, and now he was calling an ambulance to take him to the hospital.Xiao Long quickly contacted Wang Min and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

After arriving at the hospital, Grandpa Wang was already unconscious. After the doctor diagnosed him, he told his family to prepare for the funeral.

Afterwards, all the old and young members of the Wang family rushed over, even the lawyers. Everyone's faces were very heavy. Looking at the battle, the grandpa of the Wang family might not last long, but Xiao Long did not expect that the parting came so suddenly.

In the evening, Grandpa Wang was sober on drugs for a period of time, and his relatives went in one by one to listen to the training and say goodbye.

Wang Min sat on the bench in the corridor, the pain in his eyes could not be concealed.If there are no outsiders around, Xiao Long really wants to hug him.

When it was his turn, Xiao Long squeezed his hand comfortingly: "Go, I'm here."

When Wang Min entered the ward, his aunt beckoned him to the bedside, and whispered to Grandpa Wang, "Dad, Min'er is here."

The old man's thin fingers moved slightly, Wang Min hurried over, sat by the bed and held the old man's hand.Grandpa has lost more than ten pounds in recent years, his muscles have shrunk, and his skin is dry, but his hands are still warm.The man who had made the Wang family prosperous for three generations was also dying.

"Grandpa." Wang Min called, feeling very complicated.

After waiting for a long time, Grandpa Wang slowly opened his eyes. His dry eyes had no aura, and it was difficult to focus his sight. He only vaguely knew that the figure in front of him was Wang Min, and he held his grandson's hand even harder with his fingers.

"Amin..." The old man taught Wang Min how to write, do arithmetic, and play chess. When Wang Min was five years old, he pointed to the urban planning model in the room and told him that this is the property of our Wang family. From now on, it will be yours.

This old man is wise, calm, patient, and deeply hidden. All of Wang Min's wisdom comes from him.

At this moment, seeing the vague expectation in the old man's eyes, Wang Min suddenly felt uneasy for no reason—afraid that the old man would make a request at this moment, a request that he could not refuse.

Only him, no, grandpa.Wang Min prayed silently in his heart.

Liao Sijing's mother cast an encouraging look at Wang Min, as if she wanted Wang Min to take the initiative to say something to comfort the old man. Wang Min said stiffly, "Grandpa, I will take care of the family affairs, don't worry."

The old man pulled a smile, but the hope in his eyes was still there.Wang Min's heart beat faster and faster, he moved his lips and said, "Grandpa, I..."

……

Xiao Long outside the ward was restless, wandering in the corridor with his hands in his trouser pockets.At this time, he heard Liao Sijing's mother poking her head out of the ward to call out to her, Xiao Long went up to meet her, "Auntie."

"Grandpa wants to see you." Liao's mother smiled and pulled him into the ward. Xiao Long saw Wang Min sitting on the side of the bed with his back to him, and Grandpa Wang was motionless again. He didn't know what happened, and moved nervously. , dare not approach.

After finally getting to the bedside, Xiao Long heaved a sigh of relief seeing his grandfather awake, and secretly scolded himself for being a coward.Looking at Wang Min again, he couldn't help being stunned, Wang Min cried!The two wet lines on the cheeks are obviously tear stains... what happened?

Grandpa Wang groped and grabbed Xiao Long's hand, grasping it very hard, Xiao Long's eyes were sore, and he called out pitifully and affectionately: "Grandpa~~~"

Grandpa Wang held Wang Min with one hand and Xiao Long with the other, as if he had exhausted all his strength to bring his two hands together.

Slowly, the old man said four words: "Grandpa knows..."

Xiao Long: "..."

At ten o'clock in the evening, the hospital officially announced that Grandpa Wang had passed away, and Wang Min wept holding Xiao Long in his arms.

Since we met, Xiao Long has never seen Wang Min lose his composure like this. Even when Wang Min got into trouble with his father and cried while hugging Xiao Long wrongly after returning to school, he would not let the other party see his weeping face out of shame.But at this moment, he completely ignored his image.

But it is this kind of Wang Min that makes Xiao Long feel very real.He knew that Wang Min had always been filial. If it wasn't for him, Wang Min would definitely marry a woman who loved him. Now that he was living a normal life, he made him make such a difficult choice.

Xiao Long didn't care about inheritance or shares at all, he just quietly accompanied Wang Min, stayed up late to work with him, ate and slept with him, and never left him.
