Xu Ning looked at the silver bracelet on her mother's wrist, which was bought by her father for several years.

"Last year I met Boss Guo who specializes in jade business at the charity auctioneer. He has asked him to help you find a set of fine jadeites for you, grandma and grandmother, but there has been no movement. It is rare to want a good jadeite. "

"Yes, just like red wine, jadeite has a high collection value, but the nature of jadeite is different from red wine. They usually put it away when they meet good materials, and then sell them when they are suitable. Lose."

Sometimes, jadeite with excellent color will be fired at sky-high prices.

And the top jade is extremely rare, and the price is understandable.

Especially if the polished master is also a master, the price will increase several times.

"Mom!" Xie Yang stepped in between the two of them at this time and saw the melon seeds in his mother's hand. He stretched out and wanted to eat.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ning hurriedly delivered all the seeds to her mouth, clapped her hands and showed her son, "Nothing."

Xie Yang was dumbfounded.

He looked at his mother's chewing mouth and then at mother's empty palm, two small cheeks bulged, like a little pufferfish.

"Mother-in-law!" Xie Yang plunged aggrievedly into her grandmother's arms.

Qin Xuejuan was amused by the interaction between her daughter and grandson.

He picked up the baby grandson and put it on his lap, groaningly said: "You can bully him."

"This is not called bullying." Xu Ning firmly refused to admit that he was naive. "He is still young and can't eat this. It's a big deal if he hurts his throat."

Qin Xuejuan hurriedly packed the melon seeds in front of him and put them out of her grandson’s reach, "I can’t give him food. I didn’t leave last year. I can only hold them. This year I can walk around. Some things at home are not. You have to put it away."

Now Yangyang is the inseparable person, if he didn't look at it and ate something, that would be great.

Noon is just a simple meal, the night meal and New Year’s Eve dinner are the main things.

Every year the two families get together and discuss what to eat. Usually they are cooked with a dish and a soup. The fried, fried and stewed are all available, sometimes there are thirteen dishes. After all, there is no leap month. .

After lunch, the family gathered in threes and threes to chat. The four elders had to stay up late at night and had to take a good rest in the afternoon. Qin Zhao took his son, father-in-law, and brother-in-law in the living room. Chatting while watching TV.

Xu Ning and his mother came to the back of the study, and the mother and son got together to discuss work.

Xu Jianjun looked at his son-in-law, "I heard that you have to mention it again after the end of the year? You will be the major general again."

"Yeah!" Qin Zhao nodded, "Didn't you disappoint, did you?"

"It's not just that I was not disappointed. My dad was full of praise when he mentioned my brother-in-law." Xu Rui handed an apple to his nephew. "I often tell me how your brother-in-law succeeds, so that I will do the same in the future. My ears are long when I listen. It's a cocoon."

"Hey, you kid." Xu Jianjun laughed angrily at his son's words.

Xu Jianjun looked at his son-in-law and continued: "Your promotion is fast. I don't know if anyone will have an opinion on you."

"This is all earned by me, and my ability has nothing to do with age. How many people are doing nothing when they are old. If age can tell anything, then the world doesn't need young people at all." Qin Zhao doesn't know this. Pay attention, "But don't worry Dad, I can handle it."

"I can rest assured that."

In case the son-in-law is making trouble behind his back, his daughter-in-law will not feel sorry for him.

Nowadays, the school her daughter is building has already found a lot of rumors.

To say that my daughter is a capitalist, and want to do good but build the kind of school that people can't study, almost not blow Xu Jianjun.

People who say such things are really shameless, how can they not be able to read, China is now very prosperous in economic development, there are simply too many rich people, so it is estimated that the school can't let it go.

And you can’t go to a school you can afford? It's okay to stare at his girl's school with red eyes, what do you do? Simply shameless.

Besides, before the school was in effect, I didn't see that your children had no books to read.

The private elite aristocratic school is an inevitable product of the times. The children who study here are not ordinary families, and they are all children of a wealthy family. They may be powerful or powerful, and the starting point is different. You are a parent. Without that ability, it is unreasonable to blame others for charging too high.

In the backyard, Qin Xuejuan was also a little worried after hearing her daughter's plan for the school.

"Listen to what you mean, there are still many foreign teachers in the school, but are they willing to come?" This is what Qin Xuejuan is worried about. The key is that there are requirements for teachers' academic qualifications.

"Yes." Xu Ning is still very confident about this. "Now our country's influence in the world is growing day by day, and China is a country full of this mysterious power. It can be known that, besides foreign teachers, it is not the first of ours. Almost every countable university has foreign teachers, and Xu Rui is currently studying in the Imperial High School also has foreign teachers. Moreover, our school conditions are very good, I believe someone will be willing Coming."

"It's good if you know it in your heart."

In fact, the president of the school has already been selected. He is the famous domestic education leader Tan Liguo. He graduated from Columbia University, one of the Ivy League schools in the United States. After graduation, he stayed in the United States for two years and worked in the United States. Professor, after returning to China, he devoted himself to education and research, and made high achievements. For about several months every year, he lectured publicly all over the world. This year he is only in his forties.

Before, she asked the professor of the school to help contact Tan Liguo, and talked with him about the purpose and philosophy of her school. Professor Tan only said that it still needs to be considered.

After the New Year, she is going to meet the other party in person and have a careful talk with him.

Her son will soon be two years old, and he will be able to go to kindergarten when he is three and a half years old.

The Spring Festival is just as lively as in previous years. When watching the Spring Festival Gala that evening, Qin Zhao called from there to visit Qin Xuejuan and his wife. The little girl Tiantian was also calling her grandma on the phone. The little girl is really suitable for this name. , The sound is sweet, I can't wait to make people's teeth be sweet.

Qin Xiang, who is far away in France, feels lonely at this time.

She thought she would be very comfortable after going abroad, and would be very free and easy.

This was indeed the case at the beginning, but there was no one she knew here, only the two servants at home could talk to her, and Qin Xiang could only speak English as a foreign language. Although English is also circulated here in France, it is still in French. Mainly.

So for her, communication is a little bit difficult.

At first she still wanted to learn French, but after so many years in a daze, she always felt that her mind seemed to be rusty, and she couldn't learn it at all.

I'm fine at home. When I'm bored, I will play around in France. She has played France almost once in a few months after going abroad.

After that, the days became quiet, and it seemed that time passed extremely slowly.

Qin Xiang, who was accustomed to the excitement, gradually felt unbearable, but she could only think of her eldest brother who was far away in the country.

When the Spring Festival is coming, she just counted the days.

Taking advantage of the dinner time in China, she dialed the overseas phone.

After the call was connected, Qin Xiang's homesickness in his heart became more urgent when he heard the cheerful voice of the girl opposite through the receiver.

"Big brother, I want to go back to China to have a look."

Qin Zhao connected the phone to the study room upstairs, confessed to He Min, and raised his foot upstairs.

"What do you see when you return home?" Qin Zhao asked Qin Xiang over there.

"Look at you, I miss my eldest brother, and I also miss dad and grandma."

"Qin Xiang, do you want to go back to your old habits?" Qin Zhao looked at the night sky with sparse stars outside the window, and his voice was a little unpredictable.

Qin Xiang twisted the phone line with his fingers, biting his lip and said: "I don't have one, I just want to go back to China to see you."

"You will come back if you want, I won't care about you, do you restrict your freedom." Qin Zhao doesn't know how to get along with this sister, sometimes her behavior is really unacceptable.

Missing relatives now? What did you do earlier?

It has been almost four months since I went abroad. Except for the beginning and now, the total number of calls back has not exceeded five. Is this what she calls miss? I'm afraid it's just touching the scene, right? Thinking that today is the Chinese New Year, she was agitated when she came over there.

"Qin Xiang, I'm just the elder brother who keeps the same blood as you, not your parents. I have no obligation to let you nibble on your old age, nor to spend money to support you." Qin Zhao felt that some things should be explained to the other party in advance. "This time you go abroad, I gave you five million, and a single-family villa located near Paris, France. It is all your kindness and righteousness. If you run out of money in the future, don't come to me."

"...Big brother!" She panicked.

"As long as you really wanted to change before, after going abroad to study, and then find a job, or open a shop, how can you be able to support yourself, you are now thirty years old, not three years old, I don’t have That cares about your affairs. You have no financial resources in the past few months in France. Instead, you just want to play around. Have you ever thought about being responsible for your future? I can even send Lu Yanjun to a mental hospital. Who will give it? Your self-confidence, can you continue to **** blood from my side?"

Qin Xiang was anxious, holding the microphone and explaining: "Brother, I just want to walk around and relax because of divorce and a bad mood."

"People relax because there is a way of retreat, do you? I am not your way of retreat. I don't want to contaminate everything in the Qin family." Qin Zhao's tone is still flat, "Do you have a fixed job? Did you squander the money? When the money I gave you is spent, will you sell your French house and then return to China to continue to look for me? Qin Xiang, you have the roots of the Qin family in your bones. , This is what you call want to change yourself?"

"Before you left, I told you clearly that you don't want to come back after you leave the country. You want to come back if you have enough fun. You thought I was farting before?"

The phone was hung up, and Qin Zhao went downstairs to eat with his family as usual, preparing for the New Year's Eve. As for the Qin family, nothing has anything to do with him.

He can spend money to support the elders, Qin Xiang is an independent person, why does he provide for the other party?

Qin Xiang looked at the hung-up phone and sat down on the sofa. She understood that this was complete exile.

Although she can also go back, what can she do after returning home? After all, after returning from studying abroad, she didn't have a day's work. Anyway, there was an older brother who started a big company at home, so she couldn't be hungry anyhow.

She wants to change, but how difficult it is to change.

After playing enough in France, the whole person became empty and she didn't know what she could do.

If she is randomly applying for a company to work, her self-esteem may also be unacceptable. She is obviously the sister of the president of Tysen Group, but she has to start from the bottom in foreign countries, and every day from nine to five, for a person who sleeps until he wakes up naturally. For the people, I really think about it and they are full of resistance.

Raising his hand to grab his hair, the fear in Qin Xiang's heart was constantly magnifying.

What should she do!

It's not so much fear as it is the six gods without master.

There is no tree to rely on behind her, and her whole person becomes at a loss, just like a giant baby, without any social practice ability.

"Qin Xiang called?" He Min asked.

"Yeah!" Qin Zhao nodded, "Don't think about it, we will spend the New Year at home today. Grandma will rest early in the evening, so don't stay up late."

"Okay!" The old lady has almost lost her teeth, and the family’s dinner will prepare a special for her to chew, and the old man’s body deteriorates day by day. Although the family is rich, she can’t keep the time. senescence.

However, although the body is not very good, the old man can still help He Min take care of the children, breastfeeding, washing diapers, and so on. When He Min was upset in her confinement, the old lady also accompanied her to chat and relax.

And it’s also very good to Qin Zhao, who is really gentle and loving from the inside out.

Qin Zhao sometimes thinks that if his grandparents can do the same, then the Qin family will definitely be in another scene now, but unfortunately there is no if.

The people of the Qin family are all in their bones, and they are nothing for the sake of money and blood. At the beginning, their biological daughters were abandoned because they had no use value.

Fortunately, the second uncle's family is pretty good, but that's all.

Although the second uncle's personal ability is very good, but there is a very fatal weakness, and that is fear inside.

Whatever the second aunt said, the second uncle can almost agree, even if it is only during the New Year every year, it is because of the Qin family's identity to come back to celebrate the new year, usually the second aunt is not willing to come back, and the second uncle has no opinion.

Qin Zhao knew that the second aunt did not like grandma very much, because the second child she was pregnant with was tossed off by her grandma. Although it was not intentional, it still caused the second aunt’s body to be greatly injured. Since then, they have never been pregnant again, and Qin Dang is the only son of the two.

If only this is the case, the second aunt will not be chilled, mainly the attitude of the grandmother.

She didn't feel that she was wrong, only that she didn't mean it, and that the child can still ask for it again.

It was this indifferent, high-minded attitude that completely chilled the second aunt's heart. After she was out of confinement, she took Qin Dang to the place with her second uncle, and rarely came back afterwards.

Qin Zhao and his second uncle Qin Tianchi were just getting along with each other, and occasionally made a phone call and talked.

He went to the imperial capital before and asked his aunt if he had contacted his second uncle, but after receiving a call from his side, he did not contact his aunt, which made Qin Zhao a little uncomfortable.

Obviously when I was studying, I heard that my second uncle was very good to my aunt, but why didn't I contact him?

He didn't ask, and didn't intend to ask.

"We didn't go to my aunt's house this year. Will we go again after the New Year?" He Min missed Qin Xuejuan very much. She hadn't had a mother since she was a child and had almost never contacted her father. , Saying that her father was stoned to death, and He Min did not go home for the funeral.

In her heart, the day her mother died, her father was already dead.

Over the years, she often followed Qin Zhao to visit Qin Xuejuan. She also regarded her as her own mother and respected her. Last year, she did not go to the imperial capital because she was pregnant, and she did not go to become a child after giving birth this year.

"After the Chinese New Year, I won't be able to afford it. Wait for the summer vacation next year. You can let Tiantian stay there for a while."

"Really?" Tiantian doesn't actually have much impression of the Xu family, but as a child, she always likes to go out and play.

"Really, eat quietly." He Min rubbed her daughter's head and agreed with her husband. "Do you remember Grandma Tiantian?"

The little girl tilted her head for a moment, then said, "I don't remember."

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. Mom and Dad will take you to visit your aunt and grandma next summer. That's a very good elder."

"Good!" the little girl replied sweetly.

Xu Ning saw Chen Qianwen again when he went to Ye's house to pay a New Year greeting to Mrs. Ye in the first month.

"Sister Chen." Seeing the other party, Xu Ning smiled and greeted her. Her son is more than half a year older than her own, and because his parents have good genes, they are very cute.

Chen Qianwen got up and said hello to their couple, "You are here too, we will come earlier this year."

"It's earlier than us this year." Xu Ning was familiar with Mr. Ye and they paid a New Year greeting, and then sat down beside her, "Is your health okay? I heard that your company is also very busy now, but you are busy every year. Medical examinations are also required. It is best if you are not ill. If you find out, you can get treatment early."

Du Yuanhang is developing very well now, and he has his own artistic cell. In recent years, the reputation of TV and movies has exploded, and he has been loved by many people.

The key is to look good. After all, you are an actor. In this circle, there are only two kinds of people who can survive. Either they are good-looking, or they are very distinctive. Ordinary people cannot go further. .

Looking at Chen Qianwen's eyebrows, as well as the eye contact between her and her husband, these two people love each other very much.
