Chapter 48 Sour Regret

Zhou Chenglei took it and took a look at it. He was shocked: the flame pattern in the pearl actually formed the shape of a deer, and the flaw was just above the deer's eye. It was a small flaw that could not be seen without a close look. However, upon closer inspection, the flaw was no longer a flaw, but a finishing touch, adding wings to the pearl.

The deer inside the pearl seemed to come alive, lively and vivid.

This is a deer running upwards in the mountains. It is about to reach the top, raise its head and cry out, commanding all living beings.

Father Zhou came over curiously: "What does it look like?"

Zhou's mother and Tian Caihua also leaned over and asked, "What does it look like?"

"deer."

"Deer? Let me see!" Father Zhou was delighted.

Zhou Chenglei gave the beads in his hand to his father.

Father Zhou took it and squinted his eyes to look at it. Due to his presbyopia, he held the pearl in his hand and looked at it from time to time, sometimes closer and sometimes farther away. It took him a long time to find the clearest angle.

Zhou's mother was getting impatient: "Are you blind or something? If you can't see, don't look! Let me see!"

Father Zhou: "Don't move, I found the best observation point!"

Zhou's mother's mouth twitched, "You are the only one who is nosy!"

So the two old men gathered together and squinted their eyes to watch.

Father Zhou looked at it carefully, and then his hands shook with excitement: "It's a deer! It really looks like a deer! Not only does it look like a deer, it also looks like a painting!"

Zhou's mother asked excitedly, "Let me see! What kind of painting does it look like?"

Father Zhou placed the pearl in his palm and pointed with one finger to explain to Mother Zhou: "Look, does this look like a deer? Do these patterns look like a mountain? Does this look like a pine tree? This is a lucky cloud."

Zhou's mother hadn't seen it clearly yet. As people get older, their eyesight becomes blurry. But she nodded vigorously: "It looks like him, very much like him! More like him than anything else!"

Even if you can't see it clearly, you have to say it looks like it. The more it looks like it, the more valuable it is! She is not very educated, but she knows some auspicious animals.

Deer is a lucky animal on earth, and its pronunciation in Chinese as “deer” is homophonic with “lu”, which means promotion and increase of salary.

The patterns on the pillars of the ancestral hall in their village include deer, bats, pine trees and the like.

Zhou's mother was very happy: "This is a pearl with a good omen! It is a sign of good fortune and luck."

Zhou Chenglei: "A sign of good fortune."

"Yes, it's an auspicious sign, haha!"

Tian Caihua also took a look and couldn't say it didn't look like the deer. It looked exactly like the deer! Even though she had no education, she knew that the deer was a lucky animal and symbolized good fortune.

A stone naturally forms the shape of a deer, and that stone becomes extremely valuable.

If the texture of a pearl forms the shape of a deer, wouldn't it become a priceless treasure?

Tian Caihua felt sour, as if she had drunk a hundred kilograms of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

What kind of shipping is this from Jiangxia? The most important thing is that now that the family has split up, it is none of their business no matter how much the pearls are sold for.

The more Zhou's father looked at it, the happier he became: "It looks exactly like it! It looks exactly like it! This deer is so good looking! Haha!"

"Let me see!" In fact, Zhou's mother hadn't seen it clearly yet.

Father Zhou gave the pearl to Mother Zhou and asked her to see it.

Mother Zhou took it and fiddled with it for a while, finally able to see clearly: "It's a deer, it looks exactly like a deer, so beautiful! It's a good omen! Good luck to anyone who sees it! Great fortune!"

Tian Caihua hurriedly said, "Mom, let me see, so I can get some good luck too."

Zhou's mother gave the pearl to Tian Caihua.

Tian Caihua took it and looked at it carefully. She felt even more heartbroken, as if she had eaten ten thousand kilograms of lemons, sour and astringent.

The flame pattern not only looks like a deer, but also like a deer looking up and calling in the grass.

The flame pattern under the antlers is obviously finer and denser, just like the grass on the mountain! This texture is like a landscape painting growing inside the pearl.

Tian Caihua twisted the pearls back and forth, reluctant to let go, as if this would bring her some auspicious energy.

Why didn't she pick up the pearl with such a good meaning? "Sister-in-law, give me the pearl, let me take another look." Jiang Xia saw that she wanted to rub off the deer on it, but she was also afraid that her nails and the thick calluses on her hands would scratch the pearl. Who could she cry to? She didn't know how much the pearl was worth before she sold it, so it would be difficult to ask her for compensation! "Let me take another look, to get some good luck. This is your pearl, you can take a look at it anytime?" Tian Caihua was still reluctant to give it to Jiang Xia. When she saw Jiang Xia reaching out her hand, she subconsciously turned around to hide. Unexpectedly, her arm bumped into Zhou's mother beside her, and the pearl fell from her hand!

Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei reached out to take it at the same time.

Zhou Chenglei caught the pearl first.

Jiang Xia was very nervous just now, but now he feels relieved.

If anything is broken, she will definitely ask Tian Caihua to compensate for it!

She will not show mercy!

Tian Caihua was also frightened. She was also afraid that if she got hurt, she would be asked to pay for it. She would feel embarrassed to pay a few dozen yuan, but if she had to pay a hundred yuan, wouldn't she be heartbroken? Zhou's mother was also shocked. She hurriedly said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it! Xiaoxia, put it away quickly! If it gets hurt, it will be worthless."

Although it's not that easy to spend, who can guarantee that it won't be spent? Jiang Xia nodded, "Then I'll take it in and put it away."

Mother Zhou was not too busy admonishing: "Remember to hide it well!"

Jiang Xia took the two pearls back to the room.

Mother Zhou was very happy. Seeing that it was getting late, she looked at Tian Caihua and said, "You should go back too! Have the brothers gone to bed yet? Remember to let them go to bed early and get up early tomorrow to weed the peanut field with me."

Tian Caihua made a long face, responded and left. She always asked her son to do this and that? He didn't even have time to do his homework! What if he couldn't get into college in the future? Tian Caihua walked out of the courtyard gate and happened to meet Pan Daidi from next door.

Seeing Tian Caihua's dark face, Pan Daidi's curiosity was burning in her heart: "Why do you look so unhappy, Ah Hua? Didn't I hear you guys talking quite lively just now?"

Normally, when she asked this question, Tian Caihua would tell her everything in vivid detail.

Tian Caihua was in a bad mood today. She said unhappily, "Why am I unhappy? I'm very happy. My brother-in-law found a conch and got a pearl. How can I not be happy?"

Tian Caihua left after saying this! Pan Daidi grabbed her and said, "What did you just say? What conch shell produced pearls?"

Tian Caihua shook off her hand and said unhappily, "What kind of conch could it be? Of course I'm lucky. The conch I found on the beach yielded pearls."

Pan Daidi grabbed her hand tightly again: "What?! What does the conch look like? Is it covered with thorns?"

Tian Caihua: “Isn’t it!”

Anyway, she saw two conchs on the ground, both of which had thorns, and one of them was indeed covered with thorns, but she didn't know which conch it came from.

Tian Caihua left after saying this; she was in no mood to talk.

Why did they separate so early? It would have been better if they had waited until after the typhoon. It would have been better if the radio had announced the typhoon a few days earlier.

Yes? Pan Daidi stood there in a daze, feeling a sour regret in her heart! So the conch that her son kicked away produced a pearl?

Pearls! No matter how small a pearl is, it is still a pearl.

Just missed it like that?
