Yan Bingxue said, "The Jade Stone Path is a path built here, with jade inlaid into it. It'll be similar to a pebble path, but it won't hurt your feet like a pebble path does."
"It'll be flat, and the jade will be embedded inside, so it basically won't prick your feet."
As soon as Tuantuan heard that jade would be inlaid into the path, her eyes immediately lit up. Looking like a little money-grubber, she clapped her hands and said happily, "Mom, this is great."
"This is so great. The Jade Stone Path is awesome."
Then she could come to the Jade Stone Path and pry out jade.
Hahaha.
Prying out jade was much more satisfying than prying out pebbles.
"Why are you so happy?" Yan Bingxue asked her daughter.
Tuantuan opened her innocent eyes wide and said, "Mom, I'm happy, but I'm not unusually happy. The Jade Stone Path is different from the pebble paths outside."
"Were you thinking of prying out the jade later? That won't do!"
"No, no, Mom. Am I that kind of person?"
Yan Bingxue narrowed her eyes, wanting to say that she was exactly the kind of person who liked prying out jade.
But forget it. If her daughter wanted to pry some out later, she could just let her play.
At worst, after one piece of jade was pried out, they could simply embed another piece in its place.
"Tuantuan, it's fine to pry jade out at home, but outside, you can't pry up the pebbles in parks or residential compounds, understand?" Yan Bingxue instructed her daughter.
Tuantuan nodded her little head. "Mm-hmm, Mom, I won't pry any out. You and Dad can chat. I'm going over there to play with Grandpa and Grandma."
With that, the little girl ran off.
