The second uncle finally gritted his teeth and estimated the price, "At least 300,000 to 400,000."
Xiang's mother was a little flustered when a piece of jadeite with an estimated value of at least three to four hundred thousand yuan was put in her hands.
This matter is now what Uncle Xiang Ning said. The item was given by the Xu family's parents, and it represented the Xu family's approval of Xiang Ning. And since Xiang Ning accepted it at that time, she had to withdraw...but it was not normal politeness.
The Xiang family can't retreat or wear something that others are eagerly envious of, which makes people feel helpless.
"I can't return it, keep it first." Grandma handed over a handkerchief with a white background and a blue border.
Xiang Ma wrapped the pendant tightly with a handkerchief. The four corners of the handkerchief were folded back and forth and tied with two knots. Carefully put things into the bag and zip it up.
After taking a bite of food, Xiang's mother unzipped the zipper again and took out the food.
"I'm afraid I'll lose my bag. If I don't know where I'll forget it..." Xiang Ma said anxiously.
"Let me go." Dad Xiang stretched out his hand and said.
So in the end, the pendant was put into the inner pocket of Dad Xiang's close-fitting clothes.
Mother Xiang helped to zip up the pocket with her own hands, and asked, "Is it safe?"
Dad Xiang nodded: "It hurts my chest and heart all the time, I'll know if I move it, it's gone, don't worry."
Xiang Ma finally let go of her heart and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of the people were similar, as if they had just experienced a great event, they even lowered their voices when they spoke, making it mysterious.
Xiao Xiang Ning looked so helpless, she thought to herself, should I tell the people at this table that I donated 100,000 of Xu Tingsheng's money last time? It's better not to say it, it seems that if you say it, you will probably be beaten.
Then the more helpless thing is yet to come. When watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room after dinner, the whole family does not watch TV and looks at her forehead. Although Xiang Ning usually looked in the mirror by herself, she didn't find anything too special.
But the family is keen.
"It's really a rich and powerful Fuxi bone..."
"Good luck, Xiao Ning."
"Isn't it? We can also follow the appointment of several of our families. Xiao Ning, don't you think so?"
"Huh? Hmm."
Xiang Ning thought to herself, if it is not expensive, then there is no need to wear it now.
"..."
…
…
The Spring Festival Gala was on the sixth stage, and the song "The Sun That Never Sets on the Grassland" was played.
Xu's mother patted Xu Tingsheng's shoulder from behind, Xu Tingsheng turned his head, Xu's mother raised her chin and signaled: go out and talk.
The old lady suddenly became so mysterious, Xu Tingsheng really panicked.
"What's wrong? Mom." Xu Tingsheng followed his wife to the kitchen and asked nervously.
"It's okay, Mom just wanted to ask you... Is it really that little girl's film? You tell mom the truth." Xu Ma cut to the point.
Xu Tingsheng was stunned: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"Don't worry about it, just tell me, yes or no?"
"That's right."
"That's fine. I'm not autocratic, and I won't take care of so much like Fu Cheng's parents. It's fine if you like it." Xu's mother simply nodded and said, "Actually, I look pretty good, but I'm a little thinner. Gain weight. She has a good character and personality, and she is not fake. My mother saw this when she was in the hospital. It's just...too small. It's really too small."
"Then what can I do? I'll wait." This was a question that had no solution, Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
"Wait? You can wait, but I can't wait," Xu's mother said seriously, "You will be a senior year next year, and then you will graduate. But how old is she? It will be at least five or six years before she graduates from college... This can't be done, this How can I wait?!"
"But, there's nothing you can do about it." Xu Tingsheng responded with a smirk, and said in his heart: Do you think I'm not in a hurry
"Who said there's no way? Yes. I've figured out the way a long time ago." Mama Xu said resolutely and proudly.
"What method?" Xu Tingsheng asked curiously.
"Graduate from high school, send Xiang Ning to study abroad, go to that, that United States... and then you go too. I have inquired about it. You can get married at the age of eighteen there, and there are many teenage girls who have children. It is not surprising at all. .You go over and get married, and the husband will talk about it later."
With such an awesome idea, Xu Tingsheng could only say, "Huh?"
"Ah, what? Look at the three crawling in the house. Mom is so greedy that you can't see it? Mom can't wait for you to follow Fu Cheng's example and give birth to one by sneaking around." Xu's mother said excitedly, "This I'll just tell you about it, it's a deal, there's no need to discuss it. When she graduates from college? Wait until you're twenty-eight? Absolutely not. Absolutely not."
The mother gestured downwards, full of momentum.
In a daze, Xu Tingsheng remembered the three years in his previous life, when his business failed and he was unmarried. My mother looked at other people's grandsons and granddaughters with envious eyes, and occasionally when she faced herself, she hesitated to speak.
The situation in the previous life was like that. Because she was afraid of adding pressure to Xu Tingsheng who was struggling, Xu's mother kept everything in her stomach.
But this life is different, this life is a good time, Mama Xu has nothing to worry about, so her posture is naturally completely different.
"No, mom, you have a good idea." Xu Tingsheng sat down first according to his mother, and then said cautiously, "But this kind of thing can't be left to our family's ideas, right? We have to respect Xiang Ning's family no matter what. Opinion... As for their family, there is only one child, Xiang Ning, so going abroad or something, I'm afraid... "
"The dowry has been accepted..." Mama Xu muttered to herself with a smug expression.
"What? What dowry gift?" Xu Tingsheng was stunned for a moment, he went with his parents to give the dowry gift, and the Xiang family accepted it, but he and Xiang Ning didn't know about it
"That pendant." Xu Ma glanced at Xu Tingsheng and said.
"... Then it's considered a betrothal gift?" Xu Tingsheng wanted to laugh for a moment, and said to himself: Old lady, you are too stingy, our family has such a big business, and you just take such a small piece of emerald as a betrothal gift
"More than three million things, as the first betrothal gift, isn't it okay? We can talk about other things, and they can open as many things as they want." Xu Ma said with a "wealthy and powerful" appearance, which is actually a bit interesting .
Xu Tingsheng saw that his old lady's expression didn't look like she was joking, and said hesitantly, "No, Mom, tell me, that... more than three million?"
"No!"
"So small."
"You know what a fart. I bought that piece of material from your father and friend for more than 2.6 million yuan, plus the master's engraver... Let me tell you, I have less than 3 million yuan. said."
The things Xu Ma is exposed to now are completely different from those in her previous life. She really understands such things better than Xu Tingsheng.
"Two of the best materials are born on the same piece of natural old pit jadeite. Have you ever seen it? The transparent bottom is emerald with a ball of imperial green, but that ball of green is just right to carve a portrait. It's easy to find. ah?"
Xu Tingsheng recalled that the small pendant on Xiang Ning's neck seemed to be exactly what Xu's mother said it was. The bottom was transparent without any impurities, and the green part was completely concentrated. It happened to be a so-called statue of Fuxi...
At that time, Xu Tingsheng thought: This thing might cost tens of thousands.
Think about it... more than three million... hanging around Xiao Xiang Ning's neck... "I'll go", Xu Tingsheng panicked. It's okay to fall and smash it, what if you run into a bad guy who knows the goods? …
Xu's mother was still muttering: "If you take someone's hand, they will take it all away. They will either return it... It means that they despise you and look down on our family. If they don't return it, I will bring it up when the time comes, and they will return it." Can you not let us go home?"
This basically means bullying Xiao Xiang Ning for not understanding, digging holes for her. And Xiao Xiang Ning really accepted it so foolishly. The old lady is very dark... Xu Tingsheng patted his forehead helplessly. Fortunately, he didn't tell his family about the Ningyuan house.
Of course, as a woman from the countryside, I can't blame my mother for thinking this way, and I should praise her for her heart.
"Mom, I have to think about this again. I'll make a phone call first." Xu Tingsheng said anxiously.
Before his mother could react, he ran outside the house and called Xiao Xiang Ning.
The phone connects.
"Xiang Ning?"
"Um?"
"That pendant is what my mother gave you. You can't wear it out. You ask your parents to put it away for you and keep it safe... I'll buy you another one that you can wear out."
Xu Tingsheng didn't have the nerve to directly mention the price of the pendant.
"Why?" Xiang Ning asked with a smile, and before Xu Tingsheng could answer, she giggled, "Because it's expensive, right? I know, our family has been nervous for a long time just now, don't worry, my parents have packed it up."
"That's good." Xu Ting heaved a sigh of relief.
"But it's really expensive," Xiang Ning said in a surprised tone, "Second uncle said it might cost 300,000 yuan! Is it really that expensive?"
Xu Tingsheng was stunned, one tenth? After digging a hole, it turned out that the other party didn't know how deep the hole was. It felt so pitiful. If the black-bellied old lady heard this... I don't know how to feel.
"It's about the same," Xu Tingsheng thought to himself that this was a good thing, so he didn't quote the actual price, and said, "However, if someone comes to buy it at this price, we must not sell it. You can ask your parents to collect it for you. Be strict."
"Well, I don't sell it. Your mother gave it to me. I don't sell it no matter how expensive it is."
"That's good… "
"Auntie is so kind to me. I'm a little embarrassed."
"Uh... yeah, my mother... is pretty good."
Xu Tingsheng felt a little guilty... that's good, but he cheated you into having a baby at the age of eighteen.
