The moment Lin Shu spoke, An Youyu stood up and moved to Lin Shu's left, blocking Lin Shu's view with her body.

At the same time, a clear sense of vigilance lingered in her eyes: "If we're going to vote, we must ensure absolute fairness and impartiality."

After saying that, she turned to look at Lin Mo, who had been silent all along, and said, "You have to be fair. You can't be unfair just because your aunt is your mother. I... I'm still your good friend."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Mo and Lin Shu were somewhat unable to contain themselves.

Seeing that the two of them were laughing, An Youyu looked bewildered. "Did I say something wrong?"

"No."

Lin Mo stopped laughing and said righteously, "Don't worry, I heard your conversation very clearly and have already made my judgment. It's absolutely fair."

Seeing Lin Mo's gaze, An Youyu was overjoyed and immediately felt that everything was settled. She nodded hastily, "Okay, let's begin then."

Lin Shu teased, "Fish, you won't let me talk to Xiao Mo, but you've talked quite a bit yourself; isn't that unfair to your aunt?"

An Youyu was stunned, "This..."

Lin Shu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I won't dwell on it. I believe Xiao Mo will make the fairest judgment."

"Start voting!"

Chapter 241 Q&A!

The moment the words were spoken, Lin Shu was the first to raise her hand.

The next second, under An Youyu's incredulous gaze, Lin Mo slowly followed suit and raised his hand.

Her eyes widened in surprise. "You, you..."

Lin Mo explained without batting an eye, "Little Fish, I think my mom is right; you may not know, but I've lived with her all my life, and as far back as I can remember, she rarely smiles, that's true!"

"But ever since she met you, her smiles have increased at a visible rate. This has intensified since you moved into my house recently. To be honest, I have never seen her like this before."

He paused, then stood up in front of An Youyu's dazed gaze, nodded to her and thanked her, saying, "Speaking of which, thank you so much."

"Just like my mom said, happiness is priceless. You brought her happiness, and that happiness is incomparable to any material possessions."

"That's right!"

Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction, not surprised by the result.

From the beginning, she knew her son would definitely side with her, after all, the ultimate goal of the vote was for the girl.

With An Youyu's strength, she wouldn't be a match for her even in a one-on-one fight.

Not to mention two to one!

Her lips opened and closed, wanting to refute, but unable to find the right words.

In response, Lin Shu directly announced the voting results: "Two to one, I won."

"Aunt……"

"Fish, you're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

"I……"

"It's not a good habit to renege on debts. You should be a good child who keeps their word."

"..."

An Youyu remained silent for a long time before reluctantly nodding, "Auntie wins, I accept your proposal."

"That's right."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lin Shu revealed a satisfied smile and subtly gave her son a look.

Lin Mo also secretly returned the glance.

Well done!

necessary!

This exchange of glances was completed in an instant.

As for An Youyu, who was caught in the middle, she had no idea about this at all.

Seeing the complicated expression on An Youyu's face, Lin Shu cupped her face and gently kissed her forehead. "Yu'er, a bet is a bet. Don't think too much about it. I'll give you a few minutes to calm down. The problem will begin soon."

"Cough-cough-"

Hearing her son cough, Lin Shu knew exactly what was wrong and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mo forced a smile and said, "Mom, Xiaoyuer is shy, please don't kiss her so easily."

"do you have any opinion?"

"Have."

"Oh."

The moment Lin Shu's voice rang out, she kissed An Youyu's forehead again, looking at her son with an innocent gaze.

Lin Mo: "..."

My mother proved this point with her actions.

After crossing the river, the bridge could actually be dismantled! In the end, Lin Mo could only choose to ignore it.

no way.

Bloodline suppression!

"OK!"

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Lin Shu smiled and said, "In that case, let's begin the Q&A session."

How would you restore a painting or calligraphy work that is more than 50% damaged?

An Youyu took a deep breath. "First, observe the painting and calligraphy. Then, formulate a corresponding restoration plan based on the degree of damage. After the plan is formulated, we need to trim it first."

Lin Shu interrupted, "What is tailoring?"

"Cutting means removing the outer layer of the calligraphy and painting, and removing the borders and ends."

When answering, An Youyu changed her previous hesitant look, and her eyes shone with confidence.

Lin Shu nodded to herself, "Continue."

An Youyu's gentle voice continued, "The next step is cleaning."

Lin Shu interrupted again, "Are there any points to note when cleaning calligraphy and paintings?"

"Have."

An Youyu replied, "Cleaning is essentially deacidification. During the cleaning process, it's crucial to constantly check for ink bleed from the calligraphy or painting. Water temperature is also important; 85 degrees Celsius is ideal. The older the calligraphy or painting, the more times it needs to be washed."

“Fish, what you just answered is basically correct, but there are no absolutes in the field of antiquities restoration.”

Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction and said, "You just said that the ideal water temperature is 85 degrees Celsius, but that statement is slightly flawed."

"flaw?"

An Youyu was taken aback at first, but then she humbly asked for clarification, "Youyu doesn't quite understand, please explain further, Auntie."

Lin Shu stated frankly, "Often, the water temperature during restoration depends on the condition of the ancient calligraphy and painting. If the calligraphy and painting is in very poor condition, the water temperature should be lowered accordingly. Conversely, if the painting is in good condition, the water temperature can be increased to improve the cleaning efficiency. There is no absolutely optimal water temperature."

"Of course, the 85-degree water temperature you mentioned is a standard value under normal circumstances, so it's not wrong."

An Youyu nodded very seriously, "Thank you for your guidance, Auntie."

"It's not your fault."

Lin Shu gently comforted her, "Many knowledge points cannot be learned from books and need to be understood through practice; what you just said are already very standard answers."

This conversation stirred Lin Mo's thoughts as he listened in.

Previously, he had always wanted to find out what his mother's job was.

Now, the truth has come to light!

If nothing unexpected happens, my mother's job should be related to the restoration of antiques.

After confirming this information, Lin Mo felt a surge of joy.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. I thought that I would have to wait until I was admitted to Tsinghua University and fulfilled the additional conditions that my mother had set before I could get all the answers from her.

I never expected the surprise to come so suddenly!

Antique restoration?

Once the direction is determined, the rest becomes much easier.

Just as Lin Mo's thoughts were racing, An Youyu spoke softly, "Auntie, you only asked one question, there are still two left."

"Who said that?"

Lin Shu suppressed a laugh and spread her hands expressionlessly, "Didn't I already ask three questions?"

"what?"

An Youyu was completely confused. "Does that include the minor issues in the middle?"

"Yes, why not?"

Upon hearing this answer, An Youyu lowered her head and remained silent.

Lin Shu smiled triumphantly and made the decision: "It's settled then."

"It just so happens that there's an antique auction at the Qingyaoxu Auction House in the neighboring city of Yancheng tomorrow night. There should be a lot of damaged antiques and paintings for sale at low prices. Tomorrow I'll take you out to broaden your horizons and maybe we can bid on some things for Yu'er to practice with."

After saying that, she looked at her son and asked, "Is everything alright?"

"No, I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Mo would never refuse such a thing.

"Aunt……"

"It's such a happy decision."

"..."

With that, the matter was completely settled.
