Lin Zhaoxia didn't expect that after more than half a month, she would see Chang Zhi again.
At that time, the autobiography she wrote for Mr. Huang had been completed, which satisfied him very much, and the balance of 40,000 yuan was quickly received. So cool.
I bought a lot of stuff, stuffed it in the refrigerator, and stuffed the TV cabinet with snacks, so I decided to lie down for a while. She was leaning on the sofa watching a TV series with half a watermelon in her arms, when it suddenly appeared in front of her.
There was no sign.
Lin Zhaoxia was so frightened that she almost dropped the watermelon in her arms.
"How long?" He couldn't even close his mouth.
"Sister!" Changzhi's eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over.
Lin Zhaoxia hurriedly caught him, carefully put down the half-empty watermelon, and used both hands to pull him. Hey, he was really young.
"Why did you come here suddenly? I thought you couldn't come here. Where is your highness?"
"Sister..." Changzhi snuggled into her arms, looked up at her, and grinned. I am so happy to finally see my sister again.
"Your Highness has something to do and cannot come."
Your Highness is obviously fine. I stayed in the main hall all day and didn't even leave the palace. What could happen? Humph, it would be better not to come. My sister has grown up to be a person, and she felt a little happy in her heart.
"His Highness said that he couldn't come here before, so he didn't come when he was older." Although His Highness said this, Chang Zhi didn't believe it in his heart. "I wanted to come because I grew up. I think about my sister every day, but I can't come when I grow up. ."
The child chattered, not unfamiliar with her at all, and still seemed close to her after seeing her again after so many days. Make Lin Zhaoxia feel happy.
Rubbing Chang Zhi's little face, "Sister also misses us growing up, and thinks we won't be able to survive when we grow up. Sister is so sad."
Did it turn out that my sister also wanted to grow up? So happy to grow up!
Holding her hand, "Sister, come and see! I have brought you many gifts this time!"
He took off the satchel he had brought with him and took out the gifts one by one.
"These, this, are grown..."
There was a pile of small baubles made of wood and stone, which were very delicate. Lin Zhaoxia took them in his hand and looked through them, praising him again and again, so much so that the child almost grinned from ear to ear.
But why are there chopsticks?
"My grandpa made them. Last time I saw that my sister's chopsticks were not good and had burrs, so I asked my grandpa to make them."
Lin Zhaoxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The ones with burrs last time were disposable chopsticks for takeout. Two of them were put into one. When you break off the chopsticks, there will be burrs at the end."
Not all chopsticks here are like this. Did the Lin family think she couldn't use chopsticks?
She was so nervous that she said, "Then..." Doesn't my sister like my grandfather's gift?
"Sister likes it. Your grandfather's craftsmanship is very good. Look at the carved flowers on the chopsticks. It's really beautiful."
Black wooden chopsticks are the most traditional chopstick shape in China. They are seven inches and six points, with a square head and a round tail. They symbolize heaven and earth, implying that they stand upright and are the simplest wishes of our ancestors for themselves and their descendants.
After hearing this, Zhang Zhi became happy again, "And this! This is also made by my grandfather!"
"hairpin?"
A gilt hairpin, the body of the hairpin is cylindrical with branches wrapped around it, the head of the hairpin is made into the shape of a blooming and wealthy flower, the stamens, flowers and leaves are made lifelike with copper wire, and there are also hanging tassels made of fine rice beads. The craftsmanship and color matching are extremely outstanding. .
"Is this really your grandfather's own doing?"
Lin Zhaoxia was amazed. She had seen all kinds of hairpins and hairpins collected by the company's service team. This hairpin was more flexible and delicate than those, as if it were alive.
"Yeah, grandpa made it. Grandpa can do a lot more! Many people around come to grandpa to make jewelry. Grandpa can also repair old and damaged jewelry to look like new!"
"Wow! I didn't expect your grandfather to be a very good folk craftsman!"
Changzhi tilted his head proudly: "No. My uncles all said that if my family were not Linghu, my grandfather would definitely be able to carry forward his craftsmanship. Unfortunately, my second uncle was too stupid and couldn't learn it. My grandfather wanted to teach Changzhi how to do it. I haven’t even learned it yet.”
He looked quite annoyed as he spoke. Lin Zhaoxia couldn't help laughing.
"Skills have specializations, and everyone has their own specialties. As time goes by, you will find what you are best at and learn the most powerful skills."
Chang Zhi was comforted, "Well, Chang Zhi wants to learn martial arts from His Highness. His Highness said that he would teach Chang Zhi when his handwriting becomes more beautiful."
Then he pulled out a brocade bag from the pile of things on the sofa: "Sister, this is given to you by His Highness. It is said to be a tribute. It is a gift for my sister."
Did that guy give her a gift? Or is it a tribute? Lin Zhaoxia looked expectant, "Let sister come and see what it is..."
When it comes out...pearls? Not all are round beads, there are also some special-shaped beads.
"Sister, isn't it beautiful? I have never seen such beautiful and big pearls in my life! These are bigger than the broken rice beads my grandfather used to make hairpins!"
This one is as big as his finger. If you exchange it for money, you should be able to exchange it for a lot of money!
Lin Zhaoxia watched the dance, and Brother Kong Fang's eyes almost flashed. Uh...how to tell the children that pearls are not recycled here.
Changzhi was very smart. When he saw her like this, he asked: "Sister, are the pearls here worthless? Just like silver."
Lin Zhaoxia's eyes lit up. This child was indeed smart and observant.
Touched his head and said, "Yes, there are bigger and rounder pearls here. Good pearls are also very valuable, but pearls are not easy to preserve and will yellow, age and crack, so pearls are not recycled here."
Changzhi glanced at the pearl that His Highness specially told him to give to his sister. Would His Highness be sad if he knew that the gift he gave was not valuable?
Next time, let His Highness give you gold. Gold is valuable here.
Lin Zhaoxia added: "But these are tributes. They should be natural seawater beads in your place. They are so precious. Sister, you have to keep them well."
After a long time, I became happy for His Highness again.
The two of them talked about what happened these days while looking at the gifts brought by Changzhi.
Most of the time, Lin Zhaoxia listened with a smile. She looked at this child from ancient times and had a very strange feeling in her heart. She and Changzhi were just people from two different worlds, but this child actually trusted and relied on her so much.
Changzhi suddenly stopped, looked at her intently, and waved to Lin Zhaoxia, "Sister, lower your head."
"Huh?" Not knowing what he was going to do, Lin Zhaoxia still lowered her head with a smile.
He felt excited for a long time. Although he had been thinking about it for so many days and could recite his grandparents' words by heart, he still secretly glanced at the mark on the palm of his hand. The birthmark was on his right ear!
In fact, even if I don’t read it, I still remember it.
Carefully and with infinite hope, Changzhi gently grasped Lin Zhaoxia's ear with his two small hands...
Lin Zhaoxia only felt a little itchy. This child was so mysterious that he didn't know what he was doing.
Just as she was thinking about it with a smile, she heard Changzhi exclaim: "Yes! It really is! My sister really has a red birthmark behind her right ear!"
I looked at her excitedly, and it turned out that she was not my sister, but my mother! She is the grown-up mother!
It turns out that growing up is not without a mother; growing up also has a mother! It’s not that Mom doesn’t want him, it’s that Mom didn’t want to be with Chang Zhi because she couldn’t find him when she got here.
"Mom! Changzhi finally found you!" Changzhi hugged Lin Zhaoxia tightly and cried loudly.
Lin Zhaoxia froze there.
It’s on the shelves, spread the flowers~
