I don't know why old man Guo was so excited when he saw my jade pendant.
To be honest, I know the origin of this jade pendant.
When my grandfather studied under a master and entered the trade of pig butcher, this jade pendant was given to him by his master as a meeting gift.
As for the price, I also asked.
Grandpa said this is the most common jade and is worthless at all.
So when faced with Old Man Guo's gaffe at this moment, I couldn't understand the situation at all.
"I asked you where the jade pendant came from." Old Man Guo spoke again.
His tone became sharp, as if I wouldn't be able to walk out of the office safely if I didn't answer honestly.
"Senior." I raised my phone and confessed, "My grandpa gave it to me."
"Your grandfather?" Old Man Guo paused and said nervously: "Your grandfather, what is his name?"
"Su Musheng." I stepped forward and said, "My grandfather was a pig butcher, and this jade pendant was passed down from his master."
"Look, the shape of the jade pendant is a crescent moon, but it's actually a butcher's knife."
"My grandfather left the jade pendant to me after he died. I hung it on my phone to think about it."
Old Man Guo's red pupils suddenly dilated, and he lost his voice: "You, you said Su Mu is alive or dead?"
"Yes, it was at the end of last year." I took a deep breath, looked at Old Man Guo's painful look, and whispered tentatively: "Senior, do you know my grandfather?"
Old man Guo sat on the sofa, covering his face with his hands, sobbing.
Tieshan raised his eyebrows at me and lowered his voice: "What the hell is this?"
I put the phone back in my pocket: "I don't know, but I think I know my grandfather."
Tieshan still wanted to speak, but Old Man Guo choked with sobs and asked, "Where is your grandma? Is she feeling well?"
"It's pretty good." I said softly, "On the surface it's pretty good, but in my heart it's probably hard to accept grandpa's passing."
"Your name is Suning." Old Man Guo wiped the tears from his face and said, "I even hugged you personally on the day you hosted the full moon party."
"You have a sister who is three years older than you. Her name is Su Tongyuan. She is quirky and pretty."
"Your dad is as honest as a piece of wood. He can't be beaten with eight sticks."
"After six or seven years of separation, I didn't expect that Senior Brother Musheng would be one step ahead of me."
When Old Man Guo said this, he stretched out his hand and pulled out a crescent jade pendant that was exactly the same as mine and said, "Your grandfather's master and my master are brothers."
"One is a pig butcher and the other is a paper maker."
"Your grandfather became a disciple earlier than me and got the jade pendant of the pig-killing knife."
"I became a disciple one year after your grandfather, and got this paper jade pendant."
"Although your grandfather and I are not the same master, we have always treated each other as brothers since we started learning the art."
Old Man Guo said slowly as if he was lost in memories: "Because the industries are different, the directions of life are also different."
"Your grandfather cares about his family and doesn't want to travel outside the country. He said that being a pig butcher is a despicable job, and it would be great if he could earn a living from far away."
"I was arrogant and wanted to make a lot of money. So I traveled farther and farther until I came to Zhongzhou."
"In the early years, um, six or seven years ago. I often wrote to your grandfather, telling him about the situation here, and inviting him to play."
"Your grandpa said he gets carsick and can't go far. There's also farm work in the fields that he can't let go of."
