He has been smart and clever since he was a child.
Mrs. Xiao didn't know how many times she felt this way.
…
"Xiaoxiao, is that child still with you?"
Grandma Zhao asked.
"Help me praise him more."
"When I see him, I will also praise him more."
…
"He's right next to me."
Mrs. Xiao turned her head and looked at her grandson sitting next to her.
…
"Hello, Grandma Zhao."
Xiao Xiao leaned forward and slightly raised the volume on his phone.
…
"ah?"
Grandma Zhao was a little surprised.
But soon, a smile appeared on her face.
"Why."
"Xiaoxiao, I thought you went back to school."
It turns out he's still at home.
…
"Um."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"I'll go back later."
…
"oh oh."
Grandma Zhao nodded.
"If nothing happens, it would be good to stay at home for a while."
…
"Xiaoxiao."
Grandma Zhao returned to the previous topic, "Do you still remember what Grandma Zhao said?"
"It's you who helped Grandma Zhao..."
Xiaoxiao was very young back then.
I don’t know how many years have passed...
Do you still remember this incident?
…
"I remembered it when you said it."
Xiao Xiao replied.
…
"I remembered..."
Grandma Zhao was very happy to hear this answer.
After all, it was something that left a very deep impression on me.
Although the child is young and forgets, it is understandable and reasonable.
But she still hopes her children will remember this.
"Just remember it."
"I suddenly remembered it today..."
…
"Xiao Zhao."
Mrs. Xiao glanced at the stone carvings not far away. They had digressed from the topic for a long time.
Well.
It seemed like she couldn't hold it back...
He told Xiaoxiao everything about the oolong incident he encountered today.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Zhao later rewarded her with a "great achievement" about the child Xiaoxiao.
This time again and again...
They have been off topic for a long time.
…
"Why."
Grandma Zhao responded.
…
"What did you think when you bought this stone sculpture?"
Mrs. Xiao got straight to the point.
"Why did you buy this stone sculpture?"
Mrs. Xiao was very curious about Grandma Zhao's answer.
…
Grandma Zhao was slightly startled.
stone carving?
oh.
Grandma Zhao soon realized.
"I almost forgot..."
Grandma Zhao smiled sheepishly, "You called to ask about the stone sculptures..."
…
Mrs. Xiao twitched her mouth slightly.
Almost forgot……
She suddenly had no hope in Grandma Zhao's answer.
Well……
Did she have any hopes before?
Mrs. Xiao was confused.
What answer does she expect to hear?
…
"Ahem~"
Grandma Zhao coughed twice.
"This stone sculpture looks like this..."
Grandma Zhao paused, "...you also know..."
"As people get older, they are easily deceived."
"When people go to strange places, they are easily fooled."
"Then, older people are more likely to be deceived when they go to a strange place."
…
Mrs. Xiao:...
These words are said in a roundabout way, with nine twists and turns...
Why be so tactful?
is not it……
"you were fooled?"
Mrs. Xiao asked directly.
…
"no……"
Grandma Zhao's voice gradually weakened.
But her voice came up again in the next sentence, "It doesn't count as being cheated."
"After all, the things are real."
…
"Can a stone sculpture be fake?"
Mrs. Xiao asked back.
She wasn't being sarcastic.
But I really don’t know much about stone carving.
In her mind, a stone is just a stone, not jade. Is it also good or bad?
…
Grandma Zhao opened her mouth.
Well……
She didn't know how to answer this.
"...At that time, I was also very excited..."
Grandma Zhao said sarcastically, "People praised this so much that everyone in the same industry also bought it."
"I think the carving is pretty good..."
"...I just picked one and bought it..."
"I thought I couldn't come here in vain..."
"I always have to buy a souvenir to go back to..."
…
Mrs. Xiao held her forehead.
You can be fooled by such a straightforward routine...
This friend of hers is so innocent.
"How did you carry such a heavy thing home?"
…
"The store will mail it to your home for you."
Grandma Zhao answered quickly.
The other party's good after-sales service was also one of the reasons why she finally decided to purchase.
…
"Do you regret buying this?"
Mrs. Xiao took a look at the stone sculpture that looked like a fox.
It looks... barely passable.
It doesn't look too rough.
certainly.
Made of stone.
Perhaps due to improper preservation or excessive age, there are obvious signs of stone peeling on the surface of the stone sculptures.
Although this stone carving is not rough.
But it’s also rough.
…
"regret?"
Grandma Zhao was slightly startled.
"Um……"
"This is not bad."
"You saw it too."
"This stone sculpture is actually pretty good."
"I bought everything anyway..."
"Although the price is a bit expensive, I tell myself that stone sculptures are also works of art, and it is reasonable for art works to be more expensive."
"It has a different flavor if you keep it at home."
"Some guests have praised this stone sculpture."
"The fox is so vividly carved."
"...Moreover..."
"After watching it for a long time, I got used to it and it became pleasing to my eyes."
"It's also a feature of my home."
Most people don’t really have such a big stone sculpture in their homes.
…
"Then why don't you want it?"
Mrs. Xiao was confused.
From what Grandma Zhao said, doesn’t Grandma Zhao really like this stone carving?
Now that I’m used to it, why not keep it forever?
…
"What do you mean I don't want it anymore?"
Grandma Zhao corrected Mrs. Xiao, "I gave it to you."
…
Doesn't this mean the same thing?
Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath.
Wasn't it given to her just because Grandma Zhao didn't want it?
…..
"What's the point?"
Grandma Zhao retorted, "You said I don't want it anymore, as if I lost it."
"But I didn't."
"I thought about it very carefully and found a good new owner for it."
…
Mrs. Xiao:...
"Among your friends, I am the only one who has a yard where this stone sculpture can be placed, right?"
This is already her euphemism.
Others may not be able to place this stone sculpture in their homes.
But unless you really like stone sculptures, few people are willing to put such a large stone sculpture at home, which takes up a lot of space.
Her house has a yard.
There are relatively more spaces available for placing stone sculptures.
It doesn't take up space in the house.
…
Grandma Zhao sneered.
"how come?"
"I think the stone sculptures match the temperament of the teahouse quite well."
"I think some of my friends would like this stone sculpture..."
