Lu Yinghuai knew that this was the first time this person had been away from home for so long, and now that the wool matter was settled, he was naturally eager to return home. However, he was reluctant to part with her. He had finally confirmed his approximate importance in her heart, and with Pei Lin not getting in his way, he naturally wanted to stick close to her more.
He admitted that he was selfish and a despicable person, but as long as he could spend one more day with her, he felt that he had gained a day, and that he could savor the memories alone when she was not around.
"Second Brother still has a lot to do; these seven or eight days will pass in the blink of an eye."
"Do I have a lot to do?"
Yunling blinked, then suddenly realized:
"Oh, I remember now, I need to buy gifts for my family, but that's all I need to do."
Lu Yinghuai chuckled. If he could, he really wanted to pinch her cheek and tease her for being forgetful.
"So... you don't want all those treasures anymore? Then I bet Mr. Cai will be so happy that he won't even need to sleep and will just keep jumping around until dawn."
Cai Dongjia...
Oh, Mr. Cai!!!
Yunling finally remembered. Good heavens, she was so foolish. Those were the real treasures! She had completely forgotten about them. Damn it, damn it.
"Hey, after all this time, have they finished polishing it?"
Lu Yinghuai shook his head and only said:
"I'm not sure about that either, but don't worry, there are still several days left. If they haven't finished yet, we can urge them on."
"right."
Yunling suddenly felt that staying a few more days wasn't such a bad thing, and her heart immediately relaxed, making it easier and more comfortable to ride the horse.
Seeing this, Lu Yinghuai secretly rejoiced at his wish coming true. He even wished that he and Yunling could be frozen in this moment forever, with her in his heart and him in hers, and that they could be happy like this forever. How wonderful that would be.
It was already late at night when they rushed back to the Lu family's warehouse from the Bianxi Salt Bureau. They naturally didn't have time to buy gifts, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.
Yunling's stomach rumbled twice. She looked at the dumpling stall not far away, and before she could even smell the aroma, she was already swallowing hard.
But Lu Yinghuai... Yunling looked at him and really felt that his noble demeanor was hard to blend into the roadside stall, so she thought of leaving him behind and going to eat by herself.
but……
"Second Brother, are you looking at me?"
Where did I see you?
"Right now!"
Yunling immediately looked away, her chin held high, and said:
"You go back to the house first, I'll wander around a bit more."
"Are you planning to sneak a bite by yourself?"
“I…I…I didn’t,” Yunling looked at Lu Yinghuai again and smiled, “I just think you don’t like the food.”
When Lu Yinghuai saw Yun Ling smile, his expression softened as well.
"Second brother, have you forgotten what I told you before? When I was a kid, I ran all over the mountains and fields. Do you think such a wild boy had never eaten at a roadside stall?"
Despite what Lu Yinghuai said, Yunling still couldn't quite imagine it. From the moment she met him, he had given her a very refined and elegant feeling. Whenever he invited her to dine, it was always at a restaurant. Even the breakfast at his own business offered a variety of choices.
Let's go.
As Lu Yinghuai spoke, he started walking forward. After only a few steps, not seeing Yun Ling following, he stopped and turned around. He saw that the woman was tilting her head and looking at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you still know how to wash chopsticks and dishes?"
Lu Yinghuai casually touched his nose, concealing the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Will it affect our relationship?
"It won't have any impact."
"Well... let's wash it then."
Yunling couldn't help but laugh. Despite biting her lower lip, a smile still spread across her face. She caught up with Lu Yinghuai, walking close to his shoulder, and murmured:
"I want to eat a bowl of fresh meat wontons."
"I also want to eat a bowl of fresh meat wontons."
"I don't want scallions, just a big fried egg."
"I don't want any scallions, just a small fried egg."
"..."

The next day, as the sun rose high, Yunling took Gangzi and Tangling to the small workshop near Panlou Street. Datou, who was out soliciting customers, immediately greeted Yunling warmly, saying with a smile:
"Oh, young master, it's been a long time! I wonder where you've been doing business all this time. You could give me a hand in business."
"Young master, you're joking. I have no ability to help you. It's just that when it gets cold, I don't want to move. I just stay in bed like a turtle."
Big Head gave a good, fake laugh, and when he got tired of laughing, he continued:
"Young master, you're quite the joker. Even if you were a tortoise, you'd be the smartest one."
Yunling felt there was something sarcastic about his words, not like a compliment. Gangzi naturally picked up on it and spat, saying:
"You're such a fool! That stone I gave you before, is it all polished up? My boss is waiting to give it away as a gift."
"It's all polished up. I finished polishing the young master's stone a long time ago. I was thinking of going to tell him about it, but then I realized that the young master hasn't told me where his house is yet."
Gangzi quickly responded:
"It's better if you don't know about things like this. Before the New Year, some clueless guy got into a fight with our boss, and then... sigh, never mind, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about such unlucky things."
If it were someone else saying this, Da Tou would just take it as a joke, but he had dealt with Yun Ling and Qian Xiaochong before, so he naturally believed Gang Zi's words to some extent, and dared not say anything more at the moment.
“Young master, come with me quickly. I forgot to ask you what kind of jewelry you wanted this piece of black jade to be made into, so based on my experience, I made two bracelets, two thick jade plaques, and twelve beads for you. Take a look.”
Yunling followed Datou inside into the small workshop, where she saw him open one of the small boxes and reveal the jewelry he had mentioned earlier. At the bottom of the box were scraps of this piece of black jade.
"Young master, please take a look. If you feel that any part is not polished well enough, we will fix it immediately."
Yunling nodded, picked up the bracelet, and ran her fingertips along its curves, vaguely feeling a grainy texture. She held the bracelet up to the sunlight and could see faint scratches, traces of jade-cutting sand. She didn't know if they couldn't be polished off or what, but by ancient technology, the bracelet was already quite good.
"Good, let's calculate the cost of this polishing."
"Alright, alright. Polishing these bracelets takes quite a bit of work, and the polishing fee is fifteen strings of cash per bracelet, so two bracelets would cost thirty strings of cash. Jade pendants are simpler, five strings of cash per pendant, so two would cost ten strings of cash. Polishing the beads is also not easy, but considering our acquaintance, I'll charge you thirty-five strings of cash for these twelve beads."
