Chapter 223 Sleepless Night (4)
"What happened to the box?"

Mrs. Su took the box, "Hongdou, do you know how to judge the quality of agate?"

"It's the same color as jade, and the water head still has hardness?"

Although the family is in the jade business, Tang Hongdou is only half-baked, so he knows a little bit about it, and occasionally goes to the factory to listen to the masters who process jade.

"Almost, look at those three agates. Not to mention that natural red agates are relatively rare, just from these three beads, you can know that this rough agate must be very valuable."

Mrs. Su picked up the necklace and put it under the lamp, "Look, these three beads are uniform in color without a trace of variegation. If you want to find these three beads from the original stone, it is basically destructive, except for these three beads. A bead, the whole piece of rough stone can basically not be made into other things..."

"No!"

Tang Hongdou took out the ring from the box and looked at the light. Sure enough, the whole stone was uniform in color and delicate in luster. It seemed that there was faint water vapor surging inside.

Although Tang Hongdou doesn't know much about it, she knows that the masters who process jade often design carving styles based on the original jade stone. Except for the outermost stone skin, they basically make the best use of everything and rarely waste it. For some flawed parts, use some carving patterns or polishing to hide them.

Unexpectedly, for these three stones, Guan Xu's grandfather actually destroyed the entire raw stone. Tang Hongdou's hand holding the ring suddenly trembled. According to his mother, these three pieces of jewelry should be very expensive, right?

"Mom, do you think I'm cheating?"

"For your size, what your mother gave them is no worse than this!"

Tang Hongdou didn't know how much the water-filled jadeite was worth, because of the educational philosophy of Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Su, they didn't want their children to become too materialistic, so Tang Hongdou only knew that jade was worth a lot. Hongdou has no concept, and it may be because of this reason that Tang Hongdou has not developed the habit of extravagance and comparison. She can go to a picnic in a big-name skirt customized by Mrs. Su, and it doesn’t feel bad to roll on the grass, and she can also wear dozens of dollars. Taobaohuo went to see Father Tang's friends who were officials, and he showed no signs of inferiority.

"Hongdou, when mom gave that piece of jade away, she gave you to their official family too, so I'm not surprised at all when you said that Guan Xu's family will come to propose marriage tomorrow. Don't worry, although your father said I disagree, but he also likes Xiao Xu."

After clarifying the matter of red agate and water-enclosed jadeite, Mrs. Su started a heart-to-heart conversation between mother and daughter: "Mom and Dad know that our family's conditions are not as good as Xiaoxu's family, but Mom and Dad will not let you be inferior. On the other hand, mother knows that you like Xiaoxu, and Xiaoxu is also a good boy, so I have no objection to you being together, our only requirement is that we must wait for you to finish your studies before we can get married."

"of course!"

"In the future, no matter whether you and Xiaoxu stay in City A or want to develop somewhere, whether you buy a house or a car, as long as Xiaoxu's parents give you, your parents will give you an equal share. Girls are the most important thing. The most important thing is independence, so that you can stand up straight in your husband's house. But this independence is not only given to you by your parents, you have to learn to be alone, you know?"

"Oh, I see……"

Tang Hongdou suddenly blamed himself a little. Choosing Guan Xu was equivalent to choosing to leave the town and put so much pressure on Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Su.

Tang Hongdou thought again, what if he didn't choose Guan Xu?Before Tang Hongdou could think any deeper, as long as he thought that Guan Xu was not the one who ended up holding hands through his life, Tang Hongdou felt like a big stone was pressing on his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

That night Mrs. Su and Tang Hongdouwo talked a lot on the sofa, from when Tang Hongdu bullied and cried her sister who was three years older next door when she was a child, to knocking out the front teeth of a boy who was changing teeth with a punch when she was in elementary school, to the first The first time I came to my aunt, the boiled shrimp on the night before the college entrance examination, seemingly trivial and boring things, but the mother and daughter laughed and cried as they talked about it until dawn.

Father Tang in the bedroom also tossed and turned tonight and stayed up all night. Hearing the low and high voices of the two women in the living room, he seemed to see the wrinkled little ball at the door of the delivery room. The little girl feeding in the yard, the girl carrying a heavy schoolbag waiting for her to pick her up at the coffee shop...

Time flies so fast that in the blink of an eye, the little girl with a milky voice becomes slim, and she is at the age of starting a family, and her temples are turning gray, her memory is starting to get bad, but she loves her daughter deeply The heart of my heart is getting more and more full, never diminishing.
