Chapter 139: Understanding Jade

Looking at the two little ones standing by the door, Han Songlin wanted to get them something to eat, but it seemed that there was only braised pork left.

But the braised pork was cold.

'Are you hungry?' Han Songlin asked with a smile, as the two little ones had settled their lunch at the kindergarten; he didn't worry about saying that there was a problem with the kindergarten's food.

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any problems.

China has always attached great importance to education, and Han Songlin has never heard of any food poisoning incidents among students at Yuechi.

Diarrhea caused by eating unclean food is not considered food poisoning.

Although it is a type of food poisoning, it is very mild and basically goes unnoticed.

Han Ting and Han Yingzi nodded their little heads frantically, looking famished.

This made Han Songlin feel like he was seeing his own childhood self, who, every time he returned home from school, would first want to find something to eat.

After a while, the family would deliberately prepare more food at noon to save it for the evening.

It was really strange, but at that time, after eating past 5 pm, they could actually eat normally at dinner.

The digestive power of children is indeed very strong.

Han Songlin smiled and scooped two pieces of spare ribs out of the pot and put them in a bowl.

He didn't give them to them right away, they were still hot!

'Come, wash your hands first!' Han Songlin poured some water from the kettle and added some cold water to make it warm.

He then carried the basin and let the two little ones wash their hands.

When Han Songlin was a child, he didn't develop good habits, and he didn't want to see that happen again with Han Ting and Han Yingzi.

As the old saying goes, a full granary leads to knowledge of etiquette!

Han Songlin not only taught Han Ting and Han Yingzi, but also deliberately or unintentionally told Han Songqing about these things.

Han Songqing's education of Han Ze was so obvious that Han Songlin knew it.

No one knew better than he did!

He gave each of the two children a piece of toilet paper to dry their hands, and then threw the paper in the trash can.

Han Songlin then gave each of the two children a piece of spare ribs.

The ribs were quite large.

Han Ting and Han Yingzi held them in their small hands, and one hand couldn't hold them all, so they had to hold them with both hands.

'Are they delicious?' Han Songlin thought to himself, but he hadn't put any salt on them yet.

Han Ting and Han Yingzi nodded their little heads, their mouths full of oil from chewing.

It was a pity that there were no mobile phones, otherwise he could have filmed them.

Wait, why hadn't he thought of buying a camera after all this time?

In her previous life, Han Ze deeply regretted that she had not taken any photos of her grandmother.

As time passed, her grandmother's face, which had been clear in her memory, began to blur.

In the end, she could no longer recall what she had really looked like.

She must buy a camera.

It seems that there aren't any in the music room, so she'll have to go to the city.

There should be some in the city, but it's better to go to the city than to the music room, because the city is closer.

She told the children to wash their hands again, wipe them dry with paper, and let them go play on their own.

There were quite a few toys at home, and Han Ting and Han Yingzi could play for a whole day.

Zhou Tong's gaze wandered between Han Ting and Han Yingzi. She was a little confused.

The two children were one big and one small, and she wasn't sure which one was Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan's child.

'Which two children are these?'

'The older one is Han Ting, our child, and the younger one is Han Yingzi, the child of the brother's family!'

Liu Yuyan shouted, 'Ting'er, Yingzi, come over here!'

Han Ting and Han Yingzi were about to play when they heard Liu Yuyan call, and although they didn't want to, they came over.

In the family, the authority of the mother is not to be challenged, unless the father comes!

'Come, this is your Auntie Zhou, say hello!'

Han Ting and Han Yingzi called out in their cute little voices, 'Hello, Auntie Zhou!'

Zhou Tong also liked the two little cuties very much.

Women can't help themselves when it comes to cute things, or rather, people.

'Okay, well, when Auntie Zhou came, I didn't bring anything with me, so here, this is for you!' Zhou Tong thought about it and realised that she hadn't really brought any gifts.

She took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and a piece of jade from around her neck.

These two items were jade embryos that Zhou Tong bought and then had them carved by a famous jade carver in the capital.

Zhou Tong's family had collected a lot of jade that had been passed down for a long time, but Zhou Tong didn't like it because you couldn't tell whether it had come from the ground or not.

In the 1980s and 1990s, the protection of cultural relics was not as strict as it is now, and tomb raiding and other things were rampant all over the country.

A large number of cultural relics flowed out of the country at this time.

At this time, these various antiques were not very valuable, after all, the golden age still had to wait at least twenty years before it arrived.

Liu Yuyan watched Zhou Tong's movements and wanted to speak up to stop her, but ultimately did not.

It was Zhang Suyun who, upon seeing Zhou Tong's jade, was slightly surprised.

'Miss Zhou, this jade is a good piece, you must keep it safe!'

Zhou Tong and Liu Yuyan looked at Zhang Suyun in surprise.

They were both surprised that Zhang Suyun actually knew about jade.

Wasn't she just an ordinary old lady from the countryside?

Liu Yuyan asked doubtfully, 'Mom, you know about jade?'

'Haha, I saw it when I was young!'

When you were young?

Before the Liberation!

That's right, Liu Yuyan remembered that once when she was chatting with the women on her team, someone said that the Zhang family used to be a big landlord.

One important reason why Zhang Suyun married Han Songlin's father was that at the time, Han Songlin's family was poor, but his family background was good, with three generations of poor farmers.

Zhou Tong and Liu Yuyan were both intelligent women, and did not dwell on this issue.

There are some things that it is better not to pursue.

Standing in the kitchen, Han Songlin suddenly remembered something. It's this Saturday, right!

If it's Saturday, Liu Yang will be here.

It's been a while since I last saw Liu Yang.

Han Songlin wasn't worried about Liu Yang at school at all.

Liu Yang now clearly knows what he wants in the future; once a boy has a goal, he will work towards it.

When a boy doesn't have a goal, he will slack off.

At this time, teachers and parents have to force him to keep going.

At least until he reaches adulthood, so that he doesn't fall too far behind his peers.

If he falls too far behind, then there is no chance for an ordinary person to catch up later; unless, of course, you are a genius or have incredible self-discipline.

It's like playing a game: if you can't buy krypton gold, then you can only make up for it with time.

'Honey, is Liu Yang coming over today?'

Liu Yuyan was taken aback when she heard this. She had really forgotten what day it was.

'I think so,' Liu Yuyan said uncertainly.

Yang Xiufang, however, remembered clearly: 'Yes, he's coming back today.'

Liu Yuyan let out a small sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had been lazy earlier and hadn't tidied the house.

So, how was she going to sleep at night?

Forget it, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. We're going to be so packed together, how could we possibly not be able to sleep?

Han Songlin was also aware of this problem, and after a slight change of heart, he had a plan. At night, he and Liu Yang would share a room, and Zhou Tong and Liu Yuyan would be together.
