Soon, the furnace temperature finally dropped. Xia Qianqian opened the kiln, took out all the tiles, and stepped on them.
"How is it?" Qin asked nervously. She hadn't heard any sound for a long time. Was it successful
Snap—
The little hope that had just risen in Qin's heart was shattered again.
Xia Qianqian said excitedly: "Mom, we are one step closer to success!"
"oh… "
"The hardness of this furnace tile is obviously higher than the previous one. I will definitely succeed in the next one!" Xia Qianqian did what she said, but Qin stopped her.
"It's so late, let's do it tomorrow!"
"Mom, I'm fine."
"Qianqian, don't let your mother worry. Let's go home. Yunyun is still sleeping at home alone." Qin's voice was light and soft, filled with endless worry.
Xia Qianqian's heart ached, and she couldn't bear to make Qin worry: "Okay, let's go home."

The next day, Song brought Xia Yu to visit as usual. In order not to be too obvious, she stood at the door and laughed at him a few times: "I heard that you failed to burn tiles yesterday?"
"Yeah." Qin was very happy to see Xia Yu and waved at him.
Xia Yu glanced at Song, and when Song nodded, he ran into Qin's arms and put the bacon he had hidden last night into Qin's mouth: "Mom, try it and see if it's delicious."
"Meat?" Qin glanced at Song at the door and asked in a low voice, "Yu'er, where did you get the meat?"
"My grandparents were eating meat yesterday and I hid it." Xia Yutian told the truth naively.
Qin's tears immediately fell. She felt sorry for her son, who could not get his mother's care and still wanted to hide meat for his mother.
"Where is Xia Qianqian?" Song asked.
"She's still sleeping." Qin said. It was almost midnight when she came back last night, so she deliberately let Xia Qianqian sleep a little longer today.
Xia Qianqian had already seen success, and she no longer had any psychological burden, so she slept soundly. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, and a good night's sleep makes it easier to work.
"Oh." Song was not in a hurry. She leaned against the door to get some fresh air while letting Xia Yu and Qin play.
Yang changed into old clothes, covered her face with a headscarf, and hid behind the grass furtively, looking at Song with hatred - she really was Qin again. It seemed that she let Xia Yu out on purpose! What benefits did Xia Qianqian promise her
After about a quarter of an hour, Xia Qianqian still didn't get up. Song was getting impatient, and seeing that there was no one around, she went into Qin's yard and said, "Hurry up and get Xia Qianqian to draw, or you won't be able to see Yu'er next time."
Qin was shocked and angry: "What picture?"
"The Technique of Tile Burning." Song lowered her voice, "She promised me that if she brings Yu'er to see you, she will draw two pages for me. Hurry and let her get up and draw."
Qin didn't expect that Xia Qianqian would use this method to gain a brief moment of tenderness between her and Yu'er. She was so angry that she vomited blood.
Yu'er is her life, and so are her two daughters. How will they live after handing over the "Tile-burning Technique"
Song was shocked as she didn't expect Qin to be so excited.
"Mom, you vomited blood!" Xia Yu screamed.
Xia Qianqian was sleeping soundly in the room and having a sweet dream when she suddenly heard Xia Yu's scream. She jumped up and quickly ran to the yard.
Qin had been helped by Xia Yu and Xia Yunyun to sit on the ground. Her face was pale, her breathing was rapid, and there was a bloody red stain on the sand that was very glaring.
Xia Qianqian was instantly furious and glared at Song: "What did you do to my mother!"
