Chapter 379 How could there be so much money?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si took another careful look at the photo in her hand.
Although it's a photo within a photo, the man's facial features are clearly visible in the picture.
Given the available resources, it is entirely possible to predict what someone will look like twenty years from now.
That's roughly it.
The reason is simple: after the age of thirty, a person's skull is basically fully formed.
The width of the face, the height of the nose, and the shape of the jaw angle will not change.
The only thing that can change is the atrophy of facial fat.
As collagen is lost, the skin becomes thinner, looser, and forms permanent wrinkles.
Habits formed in youth, such as frowning and smiling, determine the shape of wrinkles in old age.
Finally, there's the hairline and body hair, which will change noticeably with age.
According to Chris, this person has long been engaged in covert work, so he must be mostly serious and unsmiling in his daily life.
In addition to psychological stress and other factors, he probably looks older than his actual age.
Wrinkles are most likely to be concentrated in the area between the eyebrows or on the forehead.
This can also be seen from the photo of this person when they entered the country.
He was only 27 years old at the time, but judging from the photos, he looked at least 35.
Thinking about all this, Jiang Si nodded, "Okay."
"That's great." Chris breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Chi Heng only had this one wish, and she was determined to find a way to help him achieve it.
...
Having agreed to Chris's request, Jiang Si immediately threw herself into her work after seeing her off that afternoon.
Before picking up her pen, she observed carefully for a long time.
Jiang Si only began to write after she had constructed a basic model of the skull in her mind.
Then, according to the laws of aging, skin texture and wrinkles are added stroke by stroke.
With her current skill level, she could normally finish drawing it in about two days.
But this time, Jiang Si was exceptionally serious.
After the first draft was completed, she developed several different versions based on it.
Many of them wore masks, revealing only their eyes and the upper half of their faces.
Some had their eyes lowered, and only a rough outline could be seen.
There are also those who deliberately hunch over to conceal their height and physique.
She drew more than ten pictures in total.
A few days later, when Chris received the thick stack of portraits from Jiang Si, she was so excited that she couldn't speak for a long time.
She quickly took out an envelope that she had prepared beforehand from her bag.
But before he could speak, Jiang Si stopped him.
For her, it was just a small favor.
Moreover, Chi Heng was also her friend.
After spending a lot of time with Jiang Si, Chris got to know her personality and realized that if she didn't accept it, she really didn't.
Chris didn't insist any further.
However, the very next morning, Chris went to the Friendship Store and bought two large bags of things.
She doesn't want the money, but she can give her some housewarming gifts, right?
It has to be said that women understand women best.
This time, the gift Chris gave Jiang Si really touched her heart.
In addition to a variety of uniquely shaped plates and saucers, there is also a complete set of drinking cups.
This was bought by Chris based on the Chinese zodiac signs of her family of four.
"Oh, and I also brought you a coffee machine." It was sent by Christo's friend from Gaul.
"Thank you." Jiang Si can't cook, but that doesn't stop her from liking to buy these little trinkets.
What's more, these are styles that can't be bought on the market.
Chris had already delivered the things to her home, and Jiang Si didn't hesitate to refuse.
Chris and Chi Heng were planning to return to Gaul in a few days to handle these matters and celebrate New Year's Day.
Jiang Si said, "If you have time in a few days, come over for a meal at my house. Consider it a farewell dinner for you."
Judging by the time, Huo Tingzhou should be back soon.
Chris readily agreed.
People really can't stand being nagged. Jiang Si was planning to call Huo Tingzhou later to ask him about it.
Unexpectedly, he called back that afternoon, saying, "Honey, I've finished up here. I'm leaving for the airport in ten minutes. I'll be staying in Guangzhou tonight and will be home by tomorrow morning."
Jiang Si nodded. "Mm."
When Huo Tingzhou returned this time, Jiang Si once again picked him up from the airport with the two little ones.
Now, Sui Sui and Zhao Zhao are almost one year and three months old. They not only run steadily, but they also talk a lot.
From the moment they got on the bus, they chattered nonstop.
Only Huo Tingzhou had the patience to chat with the two little ones for almost two hours.
When they got off the bus, Huo Tingzhou carried the two little ones off one by one, then carried the luggage bag in one hand and held Jiang Si's hand tightly in the other.
People were coming and going in the courtyard. Jiang Si's face flushed slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back.
However, the large hand remained motionless, and instead gripped it even tighter.
"Keep an eye on them." Jiang Si coughed lightly twice, gesturing for him to look at the two little ones in front of him. "The two kids are at the age where they start imitating others, and they might say whatever comes to mind..."
Before he could finish speaking, the two little ones who had just been leading the way...
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked over.
What does "to follow the example" mean?
Sui Sui reacted quickly; after thinking for a moment, she immediately grabbed Zhao Zhao's little hand.
He said in a very serious tone, "Little sister, let's hold hands and walk slowly."
Zhao Zhao didn't quite understand why her brother was walking slowly, but she still obediently said "oh" and matched her brother's pace.
The couple couldn't help but chuckle as they watched the two little heads bobbing up and down.
Perhaps because they hadn't seen Huo Tingzhou for a long time, the two little ones were especially clingy to him after they got home.
Even when Huo Tingzhou went to the toilet, the two little ones would follow him around excitedly.
He can't stop talking about his father when he speaks.
Originally, Huo's mother wanted her son and daughter-in-law to have some quality time together, but no matter how she tried to coax them, it was no use.
The two little ones shook their heads like rattles.
One wants a father, and the other wants a mother.
It wasn't until Huo Tingzhou had put the two little ones to sleep that night that he was finally able to talk to his wife.
He returned this time traveling light.
I didn't bring anything except a handbag.
Seeing Huo Tingzhou take his luggage to the bed, Jiang Si looked over with a puzzled expression.
Knowing that he always brings her gifts when he comes back, I wonder, "What did he buy this time?"
Huo Tingzhou didn't say anything, but opened the bag in front of her.
Besides a few changes of clothes, there was also a bag of canned food.
Then came stacks of tightly bound "Great Unity" (a symbol of solidarity).
"How can there be so much money?" Jiang Si looked over in surprise.
"Part of it is salary." Huo Tingzhou spent most of this year training outside and spent very little time on Qiongzhou Island, so he hadn't collected his salary.
He only received the prize money from the competition yesterday.
Of course, these only account for a small part of it.
"The rest are all profits from the farm."
