Huo Sili asked Qu Nanzhu if he was free on the rest day this week and if he would like to go with him to meet his grandma.
Qu Nanzhu blinked. "Go!"
After confirming that he was going to meet his grandma, Qu Nanzhu began to seriously think about what kind of meeting gift he should bring to his grandma.
Huo Sili Let him do what he wants and only give him some advice when he needs it.
He took Huo Sili to visit almost all the well-known jade shops and antique markets in the city, looking at them one by one with a focused expression. Occasionally, his fingertips would unconsciously brush over the warm jade stones, feeling Spiritual Qi inside.
Finally, in a rather stylish time-honored jade shop, Qu Nanzhu's eyes were firmly attracted by a jade bracelet placed on a velvet cushion.
The bracelet is emerald green all over, has an excellent water head, and has a warm and restrained luster.
"Young gentleman has good taste," the experienced shopkeeper saw and introduced with a smile, "This is the authentic Yang Green ice type, the material is clean, and it means peace and perfection."
Qu Nanzhu did not respond immediately, but after asking for permission, he carefully held the bracelet in his hand and seemed to feel it carefully.
After a while, he generously took out a card and handed it to the boss. "I bought this!"
The bracelet is indeed valuable, but the most important thing is that its material is pure and Spiritual Qi is transparent, making it the best carrier for carrying runes.
As my grandma gets older, what she needs most is not valuables, but stability and health.
After buying the bracelet and returning home, Qu Nanzhu locked himself in a quiet room and concentrated. Using his own Spiritual Power as a guide, he used special cinnabar and held his breath to carefully draw a complicated and ancient Spirit-Calming and Body-Protecting Talisman on the inside of the bracelet.
The moment the runes were completed, a warm stream of light flashed inside the jadeite, and then disappeared. The entire bracelet looked more radiant and moving. Holding it in your hand, you can feel a reassuring warmth.
On Sunday, the two drove to the small town where Ji Fangyi's grandmother lived.
The high-rise buildings outside the window gradually receded, replaced by open fields and rolling hills in the distance. The noisy traffic subsided, and only the soft sound of wheels on the road and the sound of wind outside the window were left.
When the navigation indicated that the destination was nearby, Huo Sili skillfully turned the car into a narrow road lined with tall plane trees, and finally stopped in front of a small farmhouse with a low wall covered with morning glories.
The courtyard door is open, and you can see in the courtyard from a distance. An old lady wearing a navy blue cotton top with neatly combed silver hair is bending slightly, grabbing a handful of golden corn kernels from the enamel bowl in her hand, and gently scattering them on the ground.
Seven or eight plump hens immediately gathered around to grab food. One of them tried to jump into the bowl to eat, but grandma knocked him away with a headshot.
Hearing the sound of the car, grandma straightened up and followed the sound.
Under the sun, she squinted and saw clearly Huo Sili getting out of the car. The delicate and fair boy beside him had a warm and kind smile on his wrinkled face, like a chrysanthemum blooming in autumn.
She put down the bowl in her hand and came over.
Huo Sili was holding a few boxes of gifts in his hand, and was just thinking about whether to put it down because he couldn't hug his grandma, when he saw his grandma, who was usually very kind to him, just skipped him, and supported his boyfriend behind him with both hands and looked up and down.
"Hey Nanzhu is here, are you tired from riding in the car... Why do you look smaller than in the video? You are obviously not picky about food." Grandma said, gently squeezing Qu Nanzhu's arm.
Qu Nanzhu scratched his head. "I don't know, I usually eat a lot."
The ignored Huo Sili stood aside, looking at the old man and the young man, shaking his head helplessly and laughing, and reminded aloud, "Grandma, please go inside first."
"Yes, yes, look at how happy I am." Ji Fangyi reacted and quickly took Qu Nanzhu's hand and walked into the house. Then he looked at the things in his grandson's hands. "Why are you carrying so many things? How can I, an old woman, finish eating them all?"
Huo Sili almost had calluses in his ears after hearing these words. He put the things in the room with ease, took off his coat and said, "You usually have those old sisters helping you eat."
Then he was glared at by his grandmother angrily.
It was much cooler after entering the main room. Qu Nanzhu took out the carefully prepared gift box and handed it to grandma with both hands very obediently. "Grandma, this is the first time we meet. I would like to express my sincere thoughts. I hope you are safe and healthy."
As the mother-in-law of Huo Juncheng, Ji Fangyi has naturally seen a lot of jewelry and jade in these years.
She took the exquisite gift box, thinking that no matter what was inside, it was the child's heart and it didn't matter how much it was worth.
She opened the box with a smile, and when she saw the emerald jade bracelet, she admired it in her eyes, but that was the extent of it - it was indeed a good thing, with good water quality and the right color, but it was not that she had never seen better ones.
However, when she took the bracelet out of the box and her fingertips really touched the warm jade, the calm smile on her face instantly solidified and turned into a trace of unconcealable surprise.
That touch... is definitely no ordinary jadeite!
It was not the slight coolness she had expected, but an extremely warm feeling, wisps of which passed through her fingertips and quietly pressed against her skin, lifting her spirit, which was often tired due to her growing age, and giving her an indescribable sense of peace.
This! This, this, this is absolutely extraordinary!
Qu Nanzhu saw her grandma's reaction from the side. She smiled with crooked eyebrows and a little proud, like a child who successfully presented a treasure. "How about grandma, does it feel comfortable to the touch~"
Grandma couldn't put it down and repeatedly rubbed the warm bracelet body with her fingers, feeling the strange warmth. She looked at him with eyes full of love, but also with obvious doubts and confusion.
Qu Nanzhu pointed at the emerald-colored bracelet and explained, "I drew a soothing and protective amulet on it. Grandma can calm down and sleep better at night by wearing it. She can also have a more stable body when walking, and it is not easy to bump into. Moreover, the jade bracelet is protected by Spiritual Qi, so it is not easy to be knocked to pieces."
Hearing this, grandma said a few good words, and she put the bracelet on her hand and looked at it again and again.
Huo Sili When she came back from feeding the chickens, she saw her grandma admiring the bracelet on her wrist like a child who had just received a gift.
Qu Nanzhu saw him coming back and stood up suddenly. "I want to feed the chickens too!"
Huo Sili originally wanted to say that the chickens were full, but seeing how he looked forward to it, he thought it would be good to eat more chickens to fatten them up.
"Here, take it and feed it."
Qu Nanzhu happily went out with the bowl in hand. Grandma's voice came from behind. "I will pick the one I like and kill it tonight to make chicken soup for you!"
"Okay!"
When Qu Nanzhu went out, Ji Fangyi took his grandson and asked, "When will you get married?"
Huo Sili always seems a bit obedient in front of grandma, blinking and blinking. "Grandma, Nanzhu only turned 19 this year."
Grandma was anxious. "Can we get engaged first?"
Huo Sili:"You can ask Nanzhu for me about this."
Grandma shook off his hand and walked away, disgusted with her. "You, you, you, really, what am I, an old woman, saying to you young couple?"
Huo Sili followed up with a smile, "Grandma, it's my birthday next month. Can I take you to the city to stay for a few days?"
The little old lady was still losing her temper. "I won't go! I'm 24 and still haven't gotten married. I'm so angry!"
