After get off work, Qin Hai drove Lin Qingya and Miao Qing back to their home on Yulong Island.
Xiaoxiao and Shang Tianxin didn't know where to go to play. Aunt Yun was the only one at home. After dinner, Qin Hai accompanied Lin Qingya for a walk in the yard, and finally came to the lake.
The moonlight was cold and the lake was deep. Lin Qingya hugged Qin Hai's arm, leaned on his shoulder and looked at the lights on the other side of the lake. She was so lost in thought that she didn't say a word for a long time.
A flash of fire suddenly shot into the sky across the lake, and then a gorgeous firework bloomed in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, fireworks shot up into the sky one after another, illuminating half of the night sky and the lake in colorful colors.
Qin Hai looked back at Lin Qingya and said with a smile: "The closer we get to the Spring Festival, the stronger the flavor of the New Year will become. Let's buy some fireworks later and put them off on the night of New Year's Eve. They will definitely be beautiful."
Lin Qingya responded with a smile, but soon sighed slightly, "My dad called me today and said that they were planning to celebrate the New Year abroad. I don't know how they are now, but I miss them very much."
"Don't worry, they are fine now. If you really miss them, I will accompany you to country Y to find them in two days and celebrate the New Year with them."
In fact, although Lin Zhiyuan and his wife are abroad, they have always been under the strict protection of Xingyao, and Qin Hai is also aware of their movements, so there is no need to worry about their safety.
Lin Qingya shook her head slightly and said with a smile: "My dad has worked hard for most of his life and has hardly enjoyed life. My mom has also been helping him without any regrets. In my dad's words, he has never gone out to play with my mom properly.
He even owed my mother a honeymoon, so he felt that the person he owed the most to was my mother. It’s rare that they have some leisure time this time, so let them have fun and we won’t bother them.”
After a pause, Lin Qingya said again: "I miss my loved ones so much during the festive season. I just feel a little emotional. In fact, compared to you, I am much happier."
Qin Hai smiled and hugged Lin Qingya tightly, "I am also very happy now. As long as you are with me, I will be happy!"
"Me too!" Lin Qingya nestled against Qin Hai's chest. The two of them quietly admired the fireworks in the distance, with happy smiles on their faces.
After a while, when the fireworks dissipated, bursts of laughter came from the yard behind him, and Shang Qiushan could still be vaguely heard laughing.
"What tricks is this kid doing again?"
Qin Hai carried Lin Qingya back to the courtyard and saw Xiaoxiao chasing Shang Qiushan all over the courtyard. Shang Qiushan was holding something in his hand.
Seeing Qin Hai and Lin Qingya, Shang Qiushan immediately rushed over, hid behind Qin Hai and the others, made a strange face at Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Come and grab it if you can, and I'll give it to you if you can!"
"Hmph, I must catch you today!"
Xiaoxiao ran out of breath, her face turned red, and she still refused to give up. Lin Qingya quickly stopped her, "Xiaoxiao, stop making trouble!"
"Sister, it's not me who wants to make trouble, it's him who bullied me and took away my things!" Xiaoxiao said with a tense face, staring at Shang Qiushan hatefully.
Qin Hai grabbed Shang Qiushan and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to rush over and snatched the thing from Shang Qiushan's hand, then raised her chin proudly and hummed: "I might as well have snatched it from you!"
Shang Qiushan said hurriedly: "Hey, you agreed to give me half of it, you have to keep your word!"
"Who made you want to snatch it? I won't give it to you now. Let's see what you do!" Xiaoxiao made a face at Shang Qiushan, then ran to Lin Qingya like a treasure, took out the things in his hand and said:
"Sister, look, this stone contains jade. It is said that it can be sold for millions!"
Qin Hai took a look and saw that the stone in Xiaoxiao's hand was probably a little bigger than an adult's fist, and its surface was gray-brown.
"Where did this stone come from?" Lin Qingya asked.
"This is called a rough stone, and it contains jade. I bought it!" Xiaoxiao said proudly.
Shang Qiushan immediately made up his mind, "If I hadn't told you there was jade in it, you wouldn't have bought it at all!"
Xiaoxiao made a face at Shang Qiushan, "I know how to think about it in hindsight. If you are right about it, why don't you buy it?"
The two little guys were arguing non-stop, and Qin Hai's ears were almost deafened by their noise. He quickly stopped them, and after asking them in detail, he understood the whole thing.
It turned out that a few little guys had nothing to do this afternoon and went shopping together. They happened to encounter a stone gambling store opening, so they went in to try their luck. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxiao's luck was really good, and she spent two thousand yuan.
I bought a stone with money, and found someone to break open a small piece of the shell and see
When it came to the green jadeite, it was considered a bet in the jargon. Someone was willing to pay 200,000 yuan to buy it on the spot, but Xiaoxiao didn't sell it. Shang Qiushan's luck was too bad. This kid bought more than a dozen stones, and the result was that
After cutting them all open, no jadeite was found, and tens of thousands of dollars were wasted.
Qin Hai had heard of gambling stones before, but this was the first time he saw a real rough stone.
He took the stone from Xiaoxiao's hand and said with a smile: "Most of this kind of stone gambling is a scam, and it is easy to lose everything, so don't go gambling just because you think you are lucky.
"
Qin Hai found the place where the shell had broken open on the original stone, and indeed he could see a bit of green jade.
After returning to the house, he took a small strong flashlight from Shang Qiushan and pointed it at the gap. A green light immediately appeared from the gap on the stone, almost spreading to the entire stone.
"It's really good!" Qin Hai asked the rough stone to be returned to Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Even if it doesn't sell for a few million, it will definitely be several hundred thousand. I didn't expect that you made a small fortune today, so congratulations.
!”
Xiaoxiao was so proud that she immediately carried her original stone and went upstairs with Shang Tianxin. Shang Qiushan was a little depressed. It was the same gambling stone. Xiaoxiao made tens of millions after spending two thousand, but he threw it away in vain.
He spent tens of thousands of dollars, only to lose everything. Such a strong contrast shocked him.
"Brother, do you know how to gamble on stones? Why don't you go with me again tomorrow? I'm really unwilling to do so. I haven't even made a hair out of tens of thousands of dollars!"
Qin Hai said angrily: "The compensation is only a few tens of thousands yuan, which is a small amount. If you go again, no matter how much money you have, I will spend all my time with you. Do you really think anyone has such good luck as Xiaoxiao?"
"That's right, do you think anyone has such good luck as me?" Xiaoxiao poked her head out from the stairs and made another face at Shang Qiushan, making the boy roll his eyes in anger.
Qin Hai smiled. In fact, he had thought about this before. If you know how to gamble on stones, you can indeed get a large amount of jade in a short time at a small cost. It is good to use it to carve formations and practice your skills.
, but he doesn’t know how to gamble on stones, and after so many years of mining, Myanmar’s
It is said that the quality of the rough stones here is not as good as it used to be, let alone the batch of rough stones that were transported thousands of miles to Chunjiang. Therefore, those who gamble on stones in Chunjiang now basically lose nine out of ten bets, and the remaining ones are just trying to save their money.
Wanting to make a fortune or get a large amount of top-quality jade through this is like a fool's dream.
