Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 69 The Jade Texture is Very Good

Chen Manyu was delighted and immediately reached for the small card book. When he raised his hands, he saw that both of his hands were covered in clay. He looked at himself bewilderedly, then turned sideways and pointed the pocket of his blue down jacket towards Shen Qingqing. "Thank you, Qingqing! Could you put it in my pocket for me?"

"Of course!" Shen Qingqing agreed happily.

After putting the small card album away, Shen Qingqing patted it gently to make sure it wouldn't fall out, then she walked around Chen Manyu and ran towards her mother.

Chen Manyu was left alone, walking slowly behind, and from time to time he lowered his head to look at the bulge in his side pocket.

"Mom!" Shen Qingqing went to Li Xunli to act coquettishly again.

Unexpectedly, Li Xunli's eyes lit up when she saw her. "Dabao, you're just in time! The Xunqing gift box your uncle asked someone to make is ready, and it's just in time to be packed when it's delivered to your Aunt Zhang."

"Mom has one last step to complete. Go help me string together the pendants and tassels I've already made, and then put them in the gift box. Put the remaining tassels in a plastic bag and give them to your Aunt Zhang later. Do you understand?"

Shen Qingqing said "Oh" and followed the direction her mother pointed. She saw the white boxes piled against the wall opposite the raw materials. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran over, picked up a long gift box, and looked at it over and over again.

The feeling when you pick it up is a mixture of thick matte texture and smooth and delicate texture. The two words "Xunqing" are hot stamped in gold, and the overall look is more coordinated than when you first saw the design draft.

Next to these gift boxes is a clothesline for hanging pendants. It is divided into two rows, upper and lower, and on the left and right sides, with a total of four horizontal bars. There are also pulleys underneath for movement. For a short person like Shen Qingqing, there is a switch at the back that can control the lifting and lowering of the upper and lower rows of horizontal bars.

The height of the bottom row is exactly the length of an adult's legs.

Since Shen Qingqing was too short, she couldn't sit down to thread the pendants onto the tassels, so she could only stand pitifully next to the clothesline, half bent over and began to thread the tassels one by one.

When firing the pendant, an inconspicuous small ring is left at the bottom for threading the tassel, so that the beauty of the pendant itself will not be destroyed by the tassel rope.

Shen Qingqing has been busy with the competition these days, so she hasn't been hanging around the porcelain kiln much.

It was not until today that I saw for the first time what these jade pendants looked like.

The texture feels delicate and smooth to the touch, but that cannot conceal the fact that the raw material is clay, so it feels very cold in the winter, but to the eyes, it really has a moist feel similar to jade.

As Shen Qingqing was threading the tassels, she marveled at this magical art.

After the top and bottom rows were all worn, Shen Qingqing turned her head and shouted, "Mom! Is it a gift box that can hold a gift bag, or a full gift bag?"

"Just fill the gift bags and then we'll give your Aunt Zhang enough gift bags when the time comes." Li Xunli replied.

Shen Qingqing started packing the boxes one by one. By the time she had finished packing all four rows of pendants, she felt like her waist was about to give out.

While stretching against the clothes-drying pole, Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered that it was inconvenient to hang the tassels when she was wearing them. Couldn't she just take them down when packing them? Why bother standing there?
Shen Qingqing, feeling foolish, uttered a sound of disgust. The last batch of pendants was finally finished. Li Xunli saw Shen Qingqing holding onto the drying pole and laughed so hard that she waved her hand and let her go home.

Shen Qingqing suddenly remembered that Shen Yangyang was still locked in the room by her!
Sure enough, when she returned home, Shen Yangyang, who heard the noise at the door, immediately shouted in the room: "Who is back! Save me!"

Shen Qingqing, the culprit, felt very guilty and immediately responded loudly: "Yangyang, don't be afraid! Sister will come to save you right away!"

As the last one to wake up in the family, Shen Yangyang had no idea who locked her in the room. She only knew that once she woke up, she couldn't get out!
At this moment, she heard the voice of her dear sister, saying that she would come to rescue her immediately. Shen Qingqing's image in Shen Yangyang's heart immediately became two meters taller: "Sister! I love you the most!"

Shen Qingqing, who was feeling a little guilty at first, seemed to have successfully brainwashed herself. After a long while, she accepted Shen Yangyang's love without feeling guilty: "Okay, it's okay, Yangyang, come out!"

Shen Yangyang had been locked up all morning and was finally able to go out. She cheered and jumped out of bed and rushed towards Shen Qingqing, giving her a big hug before going to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

It’s cold in winter, so Shen Qingqing prefers to make some noodles, porridge, etc. when cooking at home. Otherwise, the fried dishes would be put in the thermos bucket and taken to the porcelain kiln, and would have gone cold long ago.

Moreover, today is the last batch of goods before the New Year, so her mother will definitely stay in the porcelain kiln and will not go home at noon.

In addition, Chen Manyu is now in the porcelain kiln. This kid is a ceramic fanatic and often stays in the porcelain kiln for a whole day. Whether it is to keep an eye on him or because she is afraid that this kid will play in the porcelain kiln and forget to eat, Li Xunli has to stay in the porcelain kiln.

So after Shen Qingqing made a big pot of chicken noodle soup at home, she filled a large thermos bucket and first gave Shen Yangyang a bowl to sip slowly: "Yangyang, I'm going to bring lunch to mom. You stay home and don't open the door unless I open it for you, okay?"

Shen Yangyang ate without even looking up and waved her hands, slurring her rice noodles while mumbling, "Where should I send it?"

"Mom! Brother Manyu! We're having chicken noodle soup today! With big chicken drumsticks!"

When Shen Qingqing arrived, Li Xunli was on the phone with Zhang Hengyun: "Oh, yes, Hengyun, your accessories and fragile porcelain have been packed for you. Come and pick them up whenever you are free!"

"Yes, yes, everyone is free. I'll be at the porcelain kiln all day. If you send someone over, just leave me your phone number so I can match them up with them and avoid giving the wrong person the things... Okay, okay, then I'll wait..."

Shen Qingqing didn't disturb her mother. She asked Chen Manyu to wash his hands first, then took out a stainless steel basin the size of an adult man's palm from the plastic bag and poured two-thirds of it for Chen Manyu.

After covering the rest, I went home to eat hers.

After finishing lunch and washing the pots and dishes, I was about to take a nap when the phone at home rang urgently.

Shen Qingqing was puzzled. Ever since her parents got cell phones, few people called her house anymore. Even her grandmother would only call her mother. Who would call her house so suddenly in the middle of the day?
Shen Qingqing climbed onto the sofa to check the number on the caller ID. She found she had no memory of the number and hesitantly picked up the receiver: "Hello, who is this?"
