Xiao Xu looked on with envy.
You know, she had tried her luck in the Gobi Desert before, but she couldn't find a single piece.
Even if you find it, it's just a worthless stone.
Jade is difficult to identify, and with strong sunlight, people generally won't go looking for it unless they're really broke.
Su Miaoyan smiled slightly, and what she said next shocked Xiao Xu even more.
"I want to take these jade stones to the black market to sell."
"You're going to sell these jade stones?" Xiao Xu looked them over. "I feel like they could fetch a lot of money!"
Su Miaoyan put the jade pieces away and said, "Xiao Xu, can you tell the quality of jade? Could it be... you're an expert?"
Xiao Xu shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, I don't know her. Qi Huai knows her. She mentioned her to me when I was looking for her."
Qi Huai?
Su Miaoyan asked in surprise, "The Qi Huai you mentioned, is it Miao Qi Huai?"
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Xu nodded emphatically. "It's Comrade Miao. Because of what happened at the last arts performance, my relationship with her... well, we're pretty good now, you could say we're good friends. She told me she doesn't want to stay in the arts troupe anymore. She said it's not suitable for her, but..."
Once she left that place, she had nowhere else to go, so she wanted to find another way out. She seemed to have a good eye for jade. The reason I knew this piece in your hand was Hetian jade is because she also had Hetian jade, and she told me it was Hetian jade.”
Su Miaoyan understood.
Comrade Miao actually knows about Hetian jade?
It seems she knows quite a lot.
Su Miaoyan thought for a moment, "Then she hasn't left yet, she should still be in the performing arts troupe, right?"
"Mmm." Xiao Xu nodded, then asked, "She seems to want to go to the black market too, but she's not from the research institute, so she can't go."
Su Miaoyan was thinking that it was unsafe for her to go to the black market alone, but she wished someone could go with her.
She originally wanted Xiao Xu to go with her, but Xiao Xu was too boisterous and she was afraid something might happen.
In contrast, Miao Qihuai...
Although she wasn't familiar with Comrade Miao yet, she knew from their previous interactions that Comrade Miao, despite his seemingly carefree nature, was actually a bold yet meticulous person who could adapt to any situation.
Perhaps someone like that is worth considering.
It's just a pity that Comrade Miao isn't from a research institute.
"Su Miaoyan, what's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have? I feel like your soul has flown away?"
Su Miaoyan suddenly snapped out of her reverie and realized that she had been daydreaming.
She shook her head: "I'm fine."
Xu gave a dry "oh," and Su Miaoyan accepted the Hetian jade.
Xiao Xu said, "Now that we've finished talking, Su Miaoyan, would you like to come with me to the black market? But setting up a stall... that's too risky. If we get caught, we'll be in big trouble."
"Well, but the bold get rich while the timid starve. How will you know if you don't try?"
Xiao Xu gave her a thumbs up.
No wonder they're capitalists!
It's not a derogatory term, but a compliment!
After speaking, the two continued to concentrate on their research.
After getting off work, Su Miaoyan returned to the yard. Lu Ting was not there yet. Su Miaoyan gathered all the fruits and vegetables in the backyard and put them in a basket. When she saw the buzzing beehive, she had an idea.
Perhaps sensing her need, the bees flew out of the hive.
Surrounding Su Miaoyan.
Su Miaoyan tried to communicate with them.
"Can you live in my space?"
【Can】
Su Miaoyan then asked, "Can you help me detect approaching danger?"
The bee seemed to hesitate for a moment, but soon Su Miaoyan received an answer.
【Dear Master, we can sense your presence. Is there anything we can help you with?】
Su Miaoyan was overjoyed; these bees had always been a great help to her!
"Yes!"
She didn't hesitate.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bees appeared in the space.
【Master, you can summon me whenever you need me. The beehive here still needs someone to take care of it, and I will go with you.】
Su Miaoyan couldn't be happier: "Okay, thank you!"
After the conversation, she returned to her space and took out all the jade stones she had picked up earlier.
She took two straw baskets, one for the polished jade and the other for the unpolished jade.
Taking advantage of her spare time, she took out her tools and began polishing, trying to polish as much as she could.
Actually, if she wasn't afraid that Lu Ting might come back, she would have entered the space long ago just to be on the safe side.
She was almost finished making the jade pendant, and after thinking about it, Su Miaoyan decided to give it to him on his birthday.
I pray that he is safe and sound, and that he returns safely from every mission.
Outside the window.
As darkness fell.
Time slowly passed by, little by little.
Strangely, Lu Ting never returned.
Su Miaoyan was somewhat surprised, but ultimately did not go out to look for anyone.
After all, it wasn't the first time Lu Ting had come home late because of meetings.
...
At this moment, Lu Ting was with Dai Yong'an and Ji Hongwen.
The three people's faces were obscured by the darkness.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the three were wearing masks.
Dai Yong'an was also holding a sack in his hand.
Dai Yong'an's eyes were full of excitement. He rubbed his hands together, and although he lowered his voice, he couldn't hide the anticipation in it: "Brother Lu, are you sure you want to make a move tonight?"
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm," and said, "Let's do it."
This was the first time Dai Yong'an had seen Brother Lu like this, and he couldn't help but marvel, "Indeed, the power of love is the greatest. I never expected that our once iron-willed and aloof Brother Lu would go crazy for love."
Lu Ting's expression remained unchanged; he simply said, "Ji Hongwen."
Ji Hongwen: "Received."
Before Dai Yong'an could speak, his mouth was covered.
Dai Yong'an wanted to cry but had no tears.
Oh, I was just kidding, Brother Lu. I never knew you were like this...
Since Meng Hongshen was taken away, Lu Ting has been trying to find out more information.
Upon learning that he was about to go to the Gansu Provincial Military Region, I decided to give him a big gift before he left.
Meng Hongshen wanted to spar with him, but he didn't care.
But if he hurts his wife, he will definitely retaliate.
This is the bottom line, this is the principle.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ting glanced indifferently at Dai Yong'an beside him and said, "Let go."
Ji Hongwen released his grip.
"Huff, huff..."
Finally smelling fresh air, Dai Yong'an felt as if he had regained his freedom.
Seeing that he was about to start talking again, Lu Ting stared straight into his eyes.
Dai Yong'an immediately wilted.
He lowered his voice and said, "I know I was wrong, Brother Lu."
Lu Ting: "It's alright, it's up to you now."
Dai Yong'an's disappointment turned to excitement, "Okay, Brother Lu!"
Not far away, a very familiar figure slowly appeared in everyone's eyes.
