Chapter 46

This is an anti-theft badge.

"That's good, that's good." The old lady heaved a sigh of relief.

It was as if a big stone had been lifted from her heart.

"Alright,

No matter what happened in the past, you are now the most precious granddaughter of our Qin Family. You are you,

No one will treat you as a substitute,

No one.

“

Qin Jiao threw himself into the old lady's arms and sobbed softly.

"Thank you,

Thank you. "

"Silly child, what are you crying for,

You, as long as you live happily every day, it's fine.

You don't have to thank us,

Actually, we should be the ones thanking you,

Look, when you come, everyone is happy. It's so good.

"Don't blame the old lady for being cold. The old lady is really afraid of the old days,

Home is not home,

People are not human.

For most of her life,

She didn't expect that in her old age,

There would also be times when she was helpless and helpless.

The old lady had lived until now, and she only wanted two things: the health of her family and the harmony of her family.

"Just let me cry for a while,

Grandma.

Qin Jiao didn't want to,

He acted coquettishly towards the old lady.

"Okay, okay, okay,

You cry, you cry. "The old lady was old and couldn't resist this.

She hugged her tightly and gently patted Qin Jiao's back.

Qin Jiao was embarrassed by his grandma's words.

He struggled out of his grandma's arms and changed the topic. "Grandma, this jade ball is too precious. I don't want it. Quickly take it back."

With that said.

She handed the jade ball to the old lady.

The old lady didn't take it. She only said, "The most precious thing is not as precious as people.

This jade ball is for you. "

Speaking of which, this jade ball was accidentally obtained by Old Master Yao in his early years. It was very valuable and could almost be ranked in the top few private properties of the Yao family.

However, Old Master Yao gave it to his only daughter as a birthday gift when the old lady was eight years old.

This jade ball was exquisitely carved and of excellent quality. In addition, it was neither too big nor too small. It was just right for the old lady to hold in her hand.

The old lady loved it very much and often played with it in her hand.

The Old Madam's mother was afraid that her daughter would accidentally lose it, so she found someone to make a hole in the jade ball. Then, she personally made a knot and made a string of the jade ball into a pendant so that her daughter could carry it with her and not easily lose it.

The old lady had been wearing it since she was young. It was only when something happened to her family and her father sent her to the north that she put it away.

Even so, the old lady still carried it around with her. It was just that she didn't hang it up for others to see.

Later, the old lady's mother was brutally murdered and passed away. The old lady was afraid that she would think of her mother when she saw the jade pendant, so she put it away.

However, as time passed, the web began to fall apart, and the old lady had no choice but to remove it from the jade ball.

Two days ago, when he was looking for the gold and silver items for his granddaughter, he accidentally found this jade ball.

After thinking about it, he decided to give it to his granddaughter.

This jade ball was given to her by Old Mister Yao. It was his greatest blessing for his beloved daughter.

Now that she was giving it to Jiaojiao, it was the best blessing she could give to her "new granddaughter" as a grandmother.

"Look, the words' peace, happiness, and good health 'are engraved here." The old lady took the jade ball and pointed to one side of the jade ball for Qin Jiao to see. This was the blessing that Grandma's father gave to Grandma.

Now, Grandma is giving it to you. I also wish that the most beautiful girl in our family will be safe, healthy, and happy for the rest of your life. "

After saying that, she handed the jade ball to her granddaughter.

"Okay, I will cherish it. I will also be like Grandma, wishing me 'peace and good health' for the rest of my life. Grandma, you will too. Our whole family will too." Qin Jiao took the jade ball from the old lady's hand and solemnly said to the old lady.

"Okay, we will all be well."

After sending his grandmother away, Qin Jiao sat on the bed and looked at the gold and silver bracelets that the old lady and the jade ball had given to him. He took the jade ball out of the box and rubbed it back and forth in his hands.

For the first time, Qin Jiao had a strong desire to become stronger.

In the past, he had no choice but to cultivate in order to save his own life. But now, Qin Jiao wanted to become stronger as fast as possible.

What she had just said to her grandmother was not a prayer, but a promise.

She would make sure that they would be 'peaceful and good health' for the rest of their lives!

Thinking of this, Qin Jiao put the jade ball to the side and took out the jade items that he and Qin Zhao had bought a few days ago and put them together with the items on the bed.

He began to confirm his guess.

Could it be related to the quality of the jade?

Qin Jiao looked at the four jade items on the table.

When she guided the spiritual energy into them, it was indeed absorbed.

The only difference was how much spiritual energy they absorbed.

The jade pendant with the best quality absorbed the most spiritual energy, and the purity of the spiritual energy it extracted was obviously higher than the other three jade items.

The jade flower with the worst quality absorbed the least spiritual energy and the purity of the spiritual energy was also the worst.

After comparing the other two jade items, Qin Jiao was sure that the quality of the jade was related to the absorption and the purity of the spiritual energy it extracted.

However, there was one thing that Qin Jiao could not figure out. If that was the case, why did the three jade items not have any spiritual energy at all in the first place?

But he could only study this carefully in the future.

After verifying the jade items, Qin Jiao began to try to guide the spiritual energy into the golden bracelets and hairpins. However, no matter how many times Qin Jiao tried and how hard he tried, these items did not seem to be absorbing the spiritual energy at all.

It was the same for the silver items as well.

In the end, Qin Jiao had to tell himself that it seemed that only jade items could absorb and purify spiritual energy.

Moreover, the better the quality of the jade, the stronger the absorption and purification ability of the jade.

Thinking of this, Qin Jiao took the jade ball and tried to guide the spiritual energy into it.

Sure enough, the jade ball absorbed spiritual energy much faster than the jade pendant.

Seeing a large amount of spiritual energy enter the jade ball, Qin Jiao could feel the incomparably pure spiritual energy being slowly extracted from the jade ball.

Qin Jiao was so excited that he wanted to laugh out loud.

When the jade ball seemed to have slowed down and stopped absorbing spiritual energy, Qin Jiao stopped guiding the spiritual energy into it.

By this time, a lot of time had passed.

As soon as Qin Jiao stopped, he could not help but collapse onto the bed.

His entire body was drenched in sweat as if he had just been fished out of the water.

However, Qin Jiao did not care about this at all. Looking at the jade ball on the table that was getting brighter and brighter, Qin Jiao finally could not help but chuckle softly.

He had succeeded.

Qin Jiao did not wait for him to recover. He took the jade ball, propped himself up on the bed, and resumed his meditation position. Then, he began to absorb the spiritual energy that had been extracted from the jade ball.

This was the feeling. Qin Jiao felt extremely comfortable being nourished by the spiritual energy.

She tried to circulate the spiritual energy through her meridians in an attempt to cleanse the blockages in her meridians.

Unexpectedly, she felt a sharp pain in her sea of consciousness. Her body went limp and she fainted.

When she looked to the side, she saw her mother and daughter-in-law huddled around the bed. They were crying as they looked at Qin Jiao. They did not howl or scream. Instead, they sobbed softly. It was unbearable to watch.

Especially the old lady, who rarely cried. Now that she cried, it was even more unbearable.

Speaking of which, the old lady could be considered an extraordinary woman in her life.

She was born into a wealthy family and grew up in luxury.

In her youth, she encountered the chaos of war. Then, she resolutely devoted herself to the war effort.

She gave birth to three daughters and three sons. Her eldest daughter was captured by the Japanese and committed suicide under torture. Her second son and daughter died on the battlefield one after another.

Now, she only had her eldest son and her youngest daughter, a pair of twins, by her side.

She had encountered many storms and faced many dangerous situations. Although the old lady was usually a strong person, she could not bear to see her most beloved granddaughter like this.

Old Master Qin was sitting on a chair in the corner of the ward. When he saw his two sons enter, he asked in a low voice, "Third Brother, what exactly happened?" The moment the words left her mouth, the Old Madam also turned to look at Qin Weimin.

"Father, it's nothing. Jiaojiao's body was too weak after the fever. She missed a step and fell down the stairs. It was an accident."

As soon as Qin Weimin finished speaking, he saw Qin Zhao, who had been leaning against the wall with his head lowered, suddenly raise his head and stare straight at him.

"Okay, I understand," Old Master Qin said as he looked deeply at his youngest son.

Qin Weimin knew that his father did not believe his words.

After all, how could a general who had led troops in wars for thirty to forty years not understand the deeper meaning behind this?

He was only hiding it from outsiders.

"Hello, is this Qin Jiaojiao's ward?"

"Yes, we are Qin Jiaojiao's family. What's the matter?" Qin Weimin asked curiously.

"Oh, Director Wei said to move Qin Jiaojiao to Room 203. Is it convenient for you to do so now?"

"It's convenient. Sorry to trouble you, nurses." Qin Weimin knew that his sister-in-law had succeeded in her task.

The nurses carefully moved Qin Jiaojiao to a separate ward.

After they were done, Qin Weimin looked at his watch and saw that it was already past four in the afternoon. He hurriedly said to his father, "I've asked the doctor. He said that as long as he doesn't have a fever tonight, Jiaojiao's condition will stabilize.

Dad, Mom, you two go home with my eldest brother first. Yu'e, Qin Zhao, and I will stay here tonight. "Qin Weimin persuaded his father.

"Let's stay here for a while. When your sister-in-law comes back, we will go home."

As Qin Weiguo was speaking, Fang Shuyun opened the door and walked in. Behind her was a skinny woman in a white coat.

"Dad, Mom, this is my old classmate from the Medical University, Wei Hong.

Wei Hong, these are my parents. This is my husband, Qin Weiguo, my brother-in-law, Qin Weimin, my sister-in-law, Song Yu'e, and my nephew, Qin Zhao. "Fang Shuyun introduced them to each other as soon as she entered the room.

Qin Zhao also stood up straight and greeted Wei Hong. "Hello, Aunt Wei."

"Dad, Mom, Wei Hong is now the director of the hospital's emergency department. She helped us move Jiaojiao's ward this time." Fang Shuyun continued.

"Comrade Wei, we really troubled you this time." The old lady thanked her.

"Auntie, you are too polite. This is not a big deal. Shuyun and I used to live in the same dormitory. She took care of me a lot back then. Now, I can only help her with this small matter." Wei Hong said politely.

"That's right. We can only get along better if you help me," the old lady said with a smile.

"You are right."

Wei Hong looked at the girl lying on the bed and asked, "This is your granddaughter, Qin Jiao, right?"

"Yes. This child had a fever a few days ago. Today, her fever finally subsided. I didn't expect her body to be so weak. When she went down the stairs, she missed a step and fell down. I was so scared." The old lady was still afraid when she thought of the pool of blood at the stairs.

"Don't worry. After this disaster, the child will have good fortune.

Dr. Wang is also a famous doctor in our hospital. You can rest assured. "Wei Hong comforted Old Lady Qin.

"I don't expect my granddaughter to have any good fortune. I just hope that she will be safe and sound in the future. Don't let this old lady worry."

"You really dote on your granddaughter.

I will definitely let you have your wish. "

"Then I will take your blessings on behalf of my granddaughter." The old lady smiled.

Wei Hong chatted with the others for a while and then left the ward.

After watching her youngest son and eldest daughter-in-law send Wei Hong out, the old lady said to Old Master Qin, "This girl is good. She knows when to advance and when to retreat. She is also sincere."

"Yes, she is good." Old Master Qin agreed.

"When I was in the Medical University, she was the closest to my roommates.

But later, we got married and she was transferred to another province with her husband. Two years ago, the political situation was chaotic and it was inconvenient for us to contact each other.

Fortunately, she was transferred back to this hospital with her husband last year. Then, we slowly got in touch again. "Fang Shuyun explained.

"Of course. We should keep in touch and get along well." The old lady said.

Seeing that his granddaughter's condition had stabilized for the time being, Old Master Qin stood up and said to Qin Weimin, "Okay, Third Brother. Since her condition has stabilized, we will go back first."

"Okay, I will send you out." Qin Weimin stood up as he spoke.

"Okay, you don't have to send us out. Just let Qin Zhao send us down. Buy some food while you are at it. After such a long time, you must be hungry.

Buy something to eat. Jiaojiao may wake up at any time. "The old lady said.

"Mom, I …"

The old lady saw that her youngest daughter-in-law was about to cry again. She sighed and said, "Yu'e, I know how sad you are as a mother. But Jiaojiao still needs you to take care of her. Don't collapse before Jiaojiao recovers."

"Yes, you are right." Song Yu'e thought about it and agreed.

Yes, her Jiaojiao was still waiting for her to take care of her.

"Then I will send Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa," Qin Zhao replied.

"Okay, let's go." Old Master Qin replied.

Qin Zhao watched The Godfather drive away from downstairs.

He turned around and walked to the state-run restaurant a few streets away.

Although it was dinnertime, there were not many people in the restaurant.

Well, no one would go to a restaurant all day long.

Qin Zhao walked to the window. The waitress, who had been lying lazily on the table, immediately became energetic.

She looked at Qin Zhao and asked softly, "Comrade, what would you like to eat?" As she spoke, her face gradually turned red.

She could not be blamed for this. Qin Zhao's facial features were handsome. In this era where men's square faces were aesthetic, no one could say that Qin Zhao was not good-looking. Moreover, he was wearing a white shirt and green military trousers. It was the most westernized outfit nowadays. He looked energetic and had a good temperament. At first glance, one could tell that he came from a good family.

Although it was said that educated young people were rooted in the countryside, in fact, no one was willing to go to the countryside. Weren't the people in the countryside desperately trying to live in the city and eat the food provided by the government?

"Six meat buns with white flour." Qin Zhao wanted to get a bowl of soy milk, but he realized that he did not bring a lunch box. Therefore, he only asked for these.

Although there were only six meat buns, the buns made in the state-run restaurant at this time were big and full of ingredients. Usually, one would be enough. Of course, the price was more expensive.

"One yuan and two jiao for 500 grams of food stamps."

Qin Zhao paid the money, took the receipt, and walked to the restaurant.

"Comrade, I'll take it with me. Sorry to trouble you." While speaking, Qin Zhao handed the receipt in his hand to the chef.

The chef took a look at Qin Zhao and thought to himself, This kid looks so energetic and polite. How nice.

He took a look at the receipt. Wow, six big meat buns. Hey, there's money.

In this era, it was rare to see someone ask for six meat buns at once. Generally, few people would buy meat buns. Most people would ask for corn flour instead of meat buns.

Although he thought a lot, the chef did not stop. After a while, he carefully wrapped the meat buns that Qin Zhao asked for.

"Okay, here you are."

"Thank you. Sorry to trouble you." Qin Zhao thanked him.

Until Qin Zhao had walked out of the restaurant, the chef was still thinking, This young man is not bad.

When Qin Zhao returned to the ward with the food, Song Yu 'e had already carefully cleaned the blood on Qin Jiao's body.

Although the nurse had already cleaned up Qin Jiao, Song Yu 'e still felt that it was not clean enough. She asked Qin Weimin to get a basin of hot water and cleaned him again.

Seeing that his son had returned, Qin Weimin did not say anything.

"I bought a few meat buns. You and Mom can eat some first. I'll get a pot of hot water and a few cups."

"It's okay. Your Auntie Wei Hong just sent a bunch of things here. These are all here. I've already got the water." Qin Weimin stopped his son.

Hearing his father's words, Qin Zhao frowned. Although these things were easy for his family, it was not easy for an ordinary working family to get them.

Moreover, she was only his aunt's old classmate. In fact, she was not very close to his family. To put it bluntly, they did not have any interactions in the past.

When Qin Weimin saw his son's frown, he knew what was on his son's mind.

"It's okay. I don't think she's from an ordinary family. I don't think it's a big deal to give these things to her. You always think too much about everything," Qin Weimin explained to Qin Zhao.

Actually, his son was good at everything. He was smart and meticulous.

Sometimes, it was easy for him to overthink.

No matter why Wei Hong cared so much about them, it was not like they could not repay her kindness.

When Qin Zhao heard this, he did not think about it anymore.

The family was not in the mood to eat. After a few bites, they booked a night watch. After cleaning up, they carefully looked at Qin Jiao, who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Something happened at home. I just finished my work.

Elder Sha, I brought a friend of mine to you. I'm here to accompany her, "Qin Zhao introduced Qin Jiao to him." This is Elder Sha, the owner of this place. "

When Qin Jiao heard this, he knew that Qin Zhao had deliberately concealed his identity. It was obvious that Qin Zhao was not a trustworthy person.

Other than that, Qin Jiao thought that there would be many people in this' black market '. He did not expect it to be an independent courtyard with only two or three people.

At this moment, Qin Jiao had a lot of questions to ask Qin Zhao. However, when he thought of the situation, he could only suppress his curiosity.

When he thought of Qin Zhao's actions, Qin Jiao only greeted the man indifferently, "Hello."

He did not introduce himself.

At the side, Qin Zhao seemed to have tacitly agreed with Qin Jiao's actions and did not say anything.

Sha Pingliang was a shrewd old man. When he saw the two's posture, he knew that they did not intend to deepen their friendship.

Therefore, he did not continue to ask.

Instead, he asked Qin Zhao, "What kind of 'goods' is your friend looking for?"

"Jade goods." Qin Zhao thought for a while and added, "You don't seem to care."

"You should know that since ancient times, people who know the trade know that 'gold has a price but jade is priceless'. Jade has always been a rare commodity. Not to mention, jade is now under strict surveillance, so it's even rarer to find it." Sha Pingliang did not expect them to want jade.

"It's because you know that it's rare that you don't care.

Besides, if someone else said that they don't have jade, I might consider whether it's true or not. But if you say that you don't, I don't believe it at all. "

"You're really weird. Fine, I won't fool you. Actually, I do have a few pieces of this stuff.

What's more coincidental is that two days ago, someone came to me and said that something urgent happened in his family. He had no choice but to take the risk and make this trip. From what I see, that water head can be called 'good stuff'. "Sha Pingliang did not hide it from them.

But what he did not say was that he also had his eyes on the jade. He originally wanted to keep it for himself and pass it down as a family heirloom. However, his family was in a business that could cause trouble at any time. Anyone who knew a little about it could tell that it was not simple at a glance.

Now that the world was so chaotic, if he kept that thing, if something happened, he would lose his life. It was not as easy to explain as having money.

Although he was a businessman, he was also a person who loved jade. Naturally, he was reluctant to casually give this jade tablet to someone else. He had been in contact with this' Little Song 'for two to three years. Although they didn't have a deep relationship, he knew that although this person was young, he wasn't a person who only cared about profit. More importantly, this child's identity shouldn't be simple. Giving it to him shouldn't cause him any trouble.

He had originally intended to leave it for him. He did not expect that if he wanted it, it would be for his friend.

But it was not that far off.

"Then take out everything you have and give it to my friend to broaden his horizons."

"Then you wait here." After saying that, Sha Pingliang walked out of the door.

After a while, Qin Jiao saw him walk in with a wooden box in his arms.
