"Yes, it's the word within the word."
Mr. Song wet the painting and carefully picked up a layer of paper with tweezers.
Sure enough, there was another set of words hidden in the interlayer of the words.
"This, this is the Lotus Sutra copied by the late Qing Dynasty calligrapher and painter Wu Changshuo."
Song Yunming picked up the calligraphy with a layer of paper removed, looking excited.
"It really is Wu Changshuo's calligraphy. Congratulations, Mr. Song." The housekeeper said happily.
"It's actually a good calligraphy piece. Did you buy it for three thousand yuan?"
"How much is this calligraphy worth?"
"The estimated value is at least four hundred thousand."
"Haha, Zi Yan has really good taste. Ming Hui, you two really gave birth to a wonderful daughter."
For a time, relatives gave rave reviews and Song Ziyan's parents were also very proud.
Seeing that Song Ziyan had become the focus again, Zhou Zhe stomped his feet angrily, walked aside and said nothing.
"Zi Yan, where did you buy this calligraphy?" Song Yunming asked.
"Grandpa, this is what happened." Song Ziyan described the process in detail.
"Your classmates are truly talented and capable. I used to think Tongfang High School was just an ordinary school."
Mr. Song praised him highly: "If you have the chance, please introduce your classmate to me."
"Okay, Grandpa." Song Ziyan said happily, "Do you like this calligraphy?"
"I like it, I really like it, haha, this is the best gift I have received today." Old Song laughed.
Song Ziyan's eyes curved into crescents, and she was very happy today.
During the break, when Xiao Chen was working hard on a math problem, a familiar voice rang out: "Is my son Chenchen in this class?"
Xiao Chen raised his head suddenly and saw a kind face outside the window.
A seventy-year-old old lady with a head full of silver hair, although she is old, she is neat and tidy.
Although the shirt was a little pale, it was washed clean.
"Grandma?" Xiao Chen was surprised and happy. He dropped his pen and rushed out of the classroom.
Grandma is his only relative in this world.
After moving to the Xiao family, I only talk to my grandmother on the phone once a week. It has been half a year since I last saw her.
Holding grandma's hand tightly, Xiao Chen's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"I came to Jiangcheng for a follow-up check-up, so I came to see you by the way." Grandma Wu grabbed Xiao Chen's hand and looked left and right.
Finally, the pair of wrinkled hands touched Xiao Chen's face: "Chenchen, you have lost weight."
Her face was full of pity: "Aren't you living well with your parents?"
Xiao Chen just kept shaking his head, tears streaming down his face: "Grandma, I'm fine."
"Chenchen, grandma bought you a pair of sneakers. Try them on to see if they fit." Grandma Wu put down what she was holding and opened a shoe box.
Inside was a pair of sneakers, not a big brand, worth only one or two hundred yuan at most.
Xiao Chen nodded, took off his shoes, put them on, tried them on, and found they were neither too big nor too small, just right.
"Grandma, it fits perfectly." Xiao Chen jumped a few times, then took his grandmother's hand and showed a genuine smile.
He didn't even bother to look at the AJ that Xiao Yan gave him yesterday.
But he treasured the shoes his grandmother gave him.
The affection between him and his grandmother cannot be measured by anything.
This was the first time he had truly laughed from the heart in six months.
"It's good that it's suitable, Chenchen. You should go to class quickly. Grandma just wants to see you. We have to hurry back to the countryside." Grandma Wu stood on tiptoe and stroked Xiao Chen's head.
Xiao Chen leaned over and let her wrinkled hand touch his head, just like when he was a child.
"Grandma, please don't go back to the countryside, okay? Just live here with me." Xiao Chen held his grandmother's hand.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Grandma has no place to live here, otherwise I really want to stay and take care of you."
Grandma Wu's face also showed a look of reluctance.
"Grandma, I can make money now. You can stay in the hotel first, and I will take a leave to rent a house." Xiao Chen said seriously.
"I trust your locust flower buns too much, and I really want to eat the dumplings made with the shepherd's purse you dug. Grandma, please don't go."
Xiao Chen was really worried about his grandmother. The reason he moved to Jiangcheng was because his grandmother was old and in poor health.
Because Xiao's mother didn't like grandma, even though the Xiao family lived well, grandma was always alone in the countryside.
Now that she is old, Xiao Chen wants to keep her by his side and take care of her.
"Grandma Wu, why are you here?" Song Ziyan also ran over.
"Hey, I came to see Xiaochen. Who are you?" Grandma Wu looked at Song Ziyan in confusion.
She didn't know Song Ziyan, but how did this girl know her last name was Wu?
"I, I'm Xiaochen's classmate. I've seen your photo in his photo album." Song Ziyan quickly found an excuse to get away.
After not seeing her for ten years, Grandma Wu no longer recognized me. After all, I was only eight years old at that time.
Now she has grown into a graceful young lady.
"Oh, hello." Grandma Wu greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, it's a good idea to let Grandma Wu stay. I can help you find a house." Song Ziyan said, "Grandma Wu's steamed wild vegetables are so delicious. I want to eat them too."
"Have you eaten it?" Xiao Chen was a little confused.
"Ah, you, you said that Grandma Wu's steamed wild vegetables are especially delicious. I want to try them."
Song Ziyan was shocked and almost exposed.
Now she realized that if she let Xiao Chen know her identity too early, he might not be able to accept it.
So I'll keep it a secret for now. I lived with Xiao Chen for most of the month when I was a kid, and I miss the wild vegetables steamed by Grandma Wu so much.
"Grandma, please stay here. Don't worry, I'm grown up now."
Xiao Chen grabbed Grandma Wu's hand and said, "If you stay here, I can take care of you."
"Okay, okay." Seeing Xiao Chen's sincere expression, Grandma Wu could only nod in agreement.
Arrange for grandma to stay in the hotel, and during the afternoon physical education class, Xiao Chen and Song Ziyan asked for leave to find a place to stay.
"Xiao Chen, my uncle has an unused house in Binhu International. They are abroad and want to find a reliable person to stay with them and help look after the house."
Song Ziyan's eyes rolled: "How about letting grandma stay here first?"
"Binhu International? That's a luxury house." Xiao Chen was stunned. Jiangcheng is a second-tier city.
Binhu International is a high-end residential area in the area, where a house is worth tens of millions.
"They don't want rent, they are looking for someone to help look after the house." Song Ziyan said.
"No, it's in the new district, too far away, and secondly, too luxurious." Xiao Chen shook his head: "Let's look for one near the school."
"Do you have any requests?" Song Ziyan rolled his eyes.
"It should be close to the school, preferably in an urban village with a strong sense of life, and a separate courtyard is best. My grandma likes to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks." Xiao Chen thought about it.
"Okay, let's look for it." Song Ziyan made an excuse to go to the bathroom and ran to the bathroom to make a phone call.
"Uncle Ming, please help me buy a house in the urban village near Tongfang High School. It should be a separate courtyard. Please hurry... Contact me after you buy it."
After finishing the call, she ran out and looked for a house with Xiao Chen.
