Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 446 Warm Jade and Cold Jade

I have to say, there are always some people who spend all day thinking about how to cheat others.

Hearing Mu Xueqing's exclamation, Liu Guilan and Wang Dazhu also leaned over.

Wang Dazhu also took the jade out of the box and placed it on the kang. The three of them looked at the jade with curiosity in the light of the candle.

I only heard Liu Guilan say:
"You know what, jade is really good. It looks just like meat oil, greasy and slippery to the touch."

What Liu Guilan described is indeed very apt, because real Hetian jade does not need to be polished at all and feels very comfortable to the touch.

However, what Liu Guilan said about being warm was a bit exaggerated, because this thing can only be said to be not icy to the touch and does not feel that cold.

In fact, there are many kinds of jade in China, and the most noteworthy ones are warm jade and cold jade.

Warm jade is Hetian jade, and cold jade is jadeite.

It is worth noting that Hetian jade is produced in the northwest, and jadeite is produced in the area south of South China, namely Shendian.

It just so happens that cold places produce warm jade, while hot places produce cold jade.

Of course, this can only be said to be the majority, not absolute.

As to whether agate is warm jade or cold jade, there are still different opinions and there is no accurate definition at all.

However, if we talk about the place of origin, the main production area of ​​this thing is in the Northeast, so it may be more appropriate to say that agate is warm jade.

After hearing his mother's words and watching the three people's enthusiastic interest in the jade, Wang An said with a smile:

"One day, I'll saw it in half and make a few bracelets and plaques out of it, and let my family wear them. I heard that wearing this all year round can help keep you healthy."

Hearing Wang An's words, Liu Guilan said anxiously:
"Yeah, didn't all the dignitaries wear this thing in the past? You should hurry up and give my eldest grandson one before he is born."

After hearing Liu Guilan's words, Mu Xueqing paused obviously, because Liu Guilan said "eldest grandson" instead of "eldest grandson".

In the local area, for unborn children, "eldest grandson" refers only to boys, while "eldest grandson" represents the grandchildren, that is, whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all called "eldest grandson".

So, Mu Xueqing must have been overthinking it.

This is how it is in this era. For the vast majority of grandparents, grandsons are always more important than granddaughters.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls, but it is just more serious.

However, Liu Guilan also reacted immediately, so she smiled and said:

"I don't know if my eldest grandson is a girl or a boy. If he's a girl, I guarantee he'll be as pretty as her mother. If he's a boy, he'll definitely be better looking than his bastard father."

As she spoke, Liu Guilan rolled her eyes at Wang An.

I have to say that what Liu Guilan said was very serious and of high standard.

He neither explained nor changed his words, and at the same time downplayed the issue of whether it was a boy or a girl by mocking Wang An.

Because if I explained, it would definitely make my daughter-in-law think more, and after changing the words, it was obviously telling everyone that what I really wanted from the bottom of my heart was to have a grandson.

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, Mu Xueqing's tense face obviously relaxed and she smiled again.

Then, Wang Dazhu interrupted again:

"Gui Lan, go and get Xiao An a meal. It will be time for breakfast in the morning."

After the excitement wore off, Wang An really felt hungry, the kind of hunger that made his stomach ache. Wang An said, "Noodles, please. Just give me a full bowl of noodles."

Liu Guilan agreed and went to the outer room. Before leaving the west room, she suddenly turned around and asked Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueqing:
"Why don't we all just eat a bite? I'm hungry after being busy all night."

Wang Dazhu said immediately: "Well, then make two more bowls of noodles and eat them all. What do you think, Xueqing?"

Mu Xueqing replied: "Yeah, I'm hungry too. Mom, I'll do it with you, and it will be faster."

Liu Guilan quickly stopped Mu Xueqing and said firmly:

"Oh no, firewood is readily available, why would we need those people for the whole noodle?"

It has to be said that Liu Guilan was really very efficient at work. After only 20 minutes, a bowl of noodles with soup was brought into the west room.

I have to say, after eating and then going to bed, with Mu Xueqing in his arms, he slept soundly. Wang An didn’t even have time to have a dream before daybreak.

After washing up and having breakfast, Wang An got on the sled again, pulling the fish and the jackal, and rushed towards the county town.

When passing the bend, Wang An discovered that in the direction of the bushes where he had shot yesterday, human clothes and cotton scraps had miraculously appeared.

The most important thing is that there were blood stains on both the rags and the cotton.

It can be seen that these things were blown out from the bushes by the wind.

So, out of the mentality of "saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda", the curious Wang An called out to Daer Ma and walked over carefully with a gun in hand.

In fact, Wang An mainly wanted to see, at this weird turn, would one cat cheat the other?

To be honest, Wang An was somewhat traumatized by this strange turn.

The main thing is that this Jiba place is always "eating people", although most of the people were sent there by Wang An himself.

But no matter what, Wang An thought there was something wrong with this place.

When Wang An carefully held the gun and walked to the place, he found that except for the bloody rags and cotton all over the ground, there was only a water-repelling rifle lying there quietly.

Of course, there were also wolf paw prints and marten paw prints all over the ground.

But the owner of this water pearl is gone, eaten by wolves and yellow-throated martens.

Fuck, Wang An felt sick at the thought of the scene of animals eating people.

After thinking about it, Wang An collected all the rags and cotton.

After all, in China, people believe in "resting in peace".

Although Wang An couldn't dig the soil, he could dig the snow.

So Wang An dug a snow hole and stuffed all the rags and a pile of cotton into it.

After filling the snow, Wang An picked up the water beads and walked around the area again.

At this time, Wang An was quite puzzled. There was really something wrong with this guy. Why was he here if there was nothing to do?
Look, it’s been eaten by a wolf!
I don’t know how Wang An would feel if he knew that this man was shot to death by him and then eaten by wolves.
Wang An took a look around and found that the man came on a horse or a mule, but the horse or mule had disappeared long ago.

Wang An looked around again, then took his 56 and the water beads he had picked up, returned to the sled, caught up with it, and continued to go to the county town.
