Ling Yun was in his pajamas, dazed and drowsy, when Du Ruo dragged him into the next room. He muttered, "Do you still behave like a woman? We shouldn't touch each other, so don't pull me."
Du Ruo pushed him to the front of the table and pointed at the Buddha statue on the table: "Take a look?"
Ling Yun dazedly fixed his gaze on the Buddha statue. Suddenly, his eyes widened. He turned back to look at Du Ruo and said, "Is this a gift from that old man?"
Seeing Du Ruo nod, he looked her up and down and said, "You're quite capable. I remember you used to be just like me, both unlucky. Is this the accumulation of luck from two lifetimes?"
Du Ruo said helplessly: "Can you please stop talking nonsense? Aren't you afraid that people will think you're crazy if they hear you?"
Ling Yun wiped his face. He was not very clear-headed now.
He reached out and slowly took out the things one by one. Surprisingly, there were quite a lot of things inside, including gold, silver, agate, jade and everything else.
Du Ruo asked in surprise: "Who hid this thing? Did they forget to take it out?"
Ling Yun's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "You still don't know enough about antiques. According to Buddhist rules, the belly of a Buddha statue cannot be hollow. It must be filled with seven treasures and eight treasures, scriptures, and sandalwood. However, these also depend on the situation. This Buddha statue obviously has some history."
Du Ruo noticed that there seemed to be some words on one of the jade pieces. When he took it and looked at it, he found that it was actually a carved scripture with a signature underneath.
Ling Yun looked out and smiled, "This is a Tang Dynasty Buddha statue, made by a military governor at the time to pray for good weather and good harvests.
You've stumbled upon a huge bargain! Not to mention the value of this Buddha statue, even this jade carving of scriptures would be priceless to a Buddhist believer, not to mention these Tang Dynasty instruments. How could you be so lucky?"
Du Ruo spread his hands and said, "How about I give it to you?"
Ling Yun said seriously, "Really? False? This Buddha statue itself is valuable enough to be collected. Do you really want to give it to me?"
Du Ruo looked at him and said, "Aren't you eager to use it?"
Ling Yun was silent. He had something to do, and this was indeed necessary, but he didn't want to take advantage of his friend.
Du Ruo smiled: "I didn't give it to you for free, why are you being so pretentious?"
Ling Yun touched the tip of his nose and said half-seriously, "The greatest luck in my two lives is probably meeting you."
Du Ruo looked out the window and said slowly, "Since we have met in two lifetimes, it can be considered an unbreakable fate."
A complex light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes. He really wanted to ask: "Since we have an unbreakable fate, why not give it a try?"
Looking at Du Ruo's clear eyes, Ling Yun felt sad. They both knew each other's biggest secrets and trump cards, but they were two parallel lines in two lives. They seemed to be as close as they could be, but they would never intersect.
Ling Yun's voice was hoarse as he asked softly, "Ruoruo, if I give up on that, can we still be together?"
Du Ruo looked into his eyes: "Can you give up?"
Ling Yun lowered his head silently, and said softly in his heart, no.
Ling Yun left in a hurry with the Buddha statue the next day, and the big man was assigned to escort Du Ruo and Han Zhe back to Linshan City.
After sending Du Ruo and Han Zhe home, the big guy didn't leave. He said, "My young master asked me to stay for a while."
Du Ruo said happily: "Okay."
Talents are hard to come by. It's hard to find someone like the big guy who has received professional training, is reliable, and doesn't have so many ulterior motives.
Since Ling Yun had brought him to her, she naturally wouldn't push him away.
After sending Xiaozhe to kindergarten, Du Ruo plunged into the studio.
Mrs. Chen from next door saw her come back and ran over to knock on the door: "My husband Chen asked me to keep an eye on you. He said he didn't know when you would be back. I ran back twice a day, and finally you came back."
Du Ruo asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Brother Chen?"
Mrs. Chen waved her hands and said, "No, no, it seems that he wants to discuss it with you about a piece of land."
Du Ruo nodded and said, "Okay, you can ask Brother Chen to come over tonight. But I have something else to trouble you, sister-in-law. Please help me find a clean and capable person to take care of the children and do the housework. One or two people are fine, an elderly couple is fine, and they don't have to be too old."
Mrs. Chen slapped her thigh and said, "Who else are you looking for? Leave it to me."
Du Ruo smiled: "That won't do. My sister-in-law has some work to do at home. I'm not here to help for a short time. Once I get busy, I'll always need someone to lend a hand. What if my sister-in-law has something to do at home?"
Mrs. Chen lowered her head and thought for a long time. She said a little embarrassedly, "I have an aunt who has never married in her life. You can't say she has never married. She just got married, and the wedding was not over yet, and her husband died. Everyone in the village said she had a bad fate, so no one recommended her to someone else. She is in her forties this year. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Chen was a little uneasy again: "She has a bad fate, sister-in-law, you should think it over carefully."
Du Ruo said nonchalantly, "These are nothing. Ask her to come and see me."
Mrs. Chen nodded happily: "Hey!"
Her aunt also has a hard life. Her sister-in-law is not a calculative person. As long as she works honestly, she can always make a living, which is better than being beaten and scolded at home.
After seeing off Mrs. Chen, Du Ruo continued to carve. She thought Director Shen must be getting anxious, as it had been more than ten days.
It was not until the morning of the third day that in the director's office of the jade processing factory, a phoenix-shaped jade pendant was held in Du Ruo's palm, and Director Shen was overjoyed at the sight.
He and Director Zhang were distantly related, but Director Zhang had usually been lukewarm towards him. This time, he'd finally opened his mouth and asked him to make a phoenix-shaped jade pendant, hinting that he could go find Du Ruo. This was his opportunity, and Director Shen took it very seriously.
If this matter is handled well, no matter what happens in the future, Director Zhang will help him with his current promotion.
He now likes Comrade Du Ruo more and more. She is really a good comrade.
Director Shen said, "Comrade Du Ruo, placing you in Group 5 is a bit of a waste of talent. Do you need to be transferred?"
Du Ruo smiled: "Actually, I intend to apply for unpaid leave, but I don't know..."
Director Shen agreed readily: "No problem, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to the factory and we will do our best to solve them."
Du Ruo was very grateful: "Thank you, Director. I wonder what Director Zhang wants this phoenix pendant for?"
While looking at the jade pendant, Chen Changzi said nonchalantly, "It seems that his father has an old friend, and his family wants to find this phoenix-shaped pendant. Now, that lady seems to be ill, and her family just wants to comfort her."
Du Ruo's heart moved, and then he sneered. The lady lived a long life, so there was no need for others to worry about her.
However, this jade pendant has another secret, just don't scare people to death.
