Chapter 284 Confidence
Chen Kexin comforted her: "Mom, who said we can't use them? Old clothes can be used as shoe soles and rags."
"Yes, what are these empty jars for?"
"Mom, these jars can be used to pickle pickles. I bought a lot of vegetables today. I will buy more when I have time. Everyone in my family likes to eat the pickles you pickle. Winter is coming soon. If you pickle them and store them, they can be eaten all winter long."
"Where are these boards?"
"Mom, the wooden planks can be placed under the kitchen to keep out moisture, and they can also be used to build shelves to store things, so that the food won't get moldy or spoil."
"Tools like shovels and sickles are useless..."
"Mom, who said it's useless? We have a vegetable garden at home, and we can use the tools to grow vegetables in the summer. In a few days, I want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables in the winter."
"Growing vegetables in winter? Is that possible?"
"Mom, I want to try!"
Wang Qiaolian's regret was put to rest immediately, and she praised: "You are a good talker, girl. When I was at home, I couldn't bear to give these things away. Now I feel bad about the shipping fee, so I listened to you and did the right thing."
Chen Kexin said in a comforting tone: "Mom, as the saying goes, a broken home is worth a fortune. These little things add up to a lot of money. Thanks to you for your thoughtful consideration."
In fact, Chen Kexin doesn't need this little money. She wants to build her mother's self-confidence.
My mother has a gentle personality and is a bit indecisive, which is why she has to suffer in the Wen family for so many years.
They moved to grandpa's house and would soon interact with other family members in the compound. Mom also had to go out to work, so she had to be independent and confident, otherwise she would be looked down upon by those around her.
Chen Kexin spoke out her true feelings.
Wang Qiaolian nodded repeatedly and said, "Kexin, I understand your intentions. Since the separation, you have been in charge of all family affairs. Sooner or later, you will get married and leave. I will support this family, so don't worry."
"Mom, if someone asks you something and you don't know how to answer, don't panic. You can change the subject or blame it on my dad or my grandpa."
The eldest daughter had good intentions. If the child hadn't insisted on dividing the family property, she and the head of the family would still be acting foolishly.
Wang Qiaolian said with mixed feelings: "Mom knows!"
At noon, the whole family had noodles with soybean paste.
After dinner, Chen Kexin found an opportunity to whisper to Song Mo: "I'll take you to see our house this afternoon."
Song Mo knew about buying a house and he wanted to see it with his own eyes.
That was their home, where they would raise children in the future. He nodded and said, "Okay!"
In fact, Chen Kexin wanted to take advantage of Song Mo's home time to go to the house and take out the rough materials in the space.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the small courtyard house they bought.
Haven't been here for a few months, although there is dust everywhere.
The ancient and quaint environment makes people feel relaxed.
Song Mo said with satisfaction: "This courtyard is nice!"
"Yeah, I think it's great too. Look, there are so many pomegranates on the tree. When I bought the house, the pomegranates were still small, but a few months later, the pomegranates have matured. It must be that Sister Gao was too busy to remember to pick the ripe pomegranates."
Looking at the pomegranate facing the sun, its surface is red and looks particularly tempting.
Chen Kexin picked one, broke it open, saw the plump pomegranate seeds inside, handed half to Song Mo and started to eat.
When looking at the house, she also secretly poured some space stream water.
Although the space stream water does not have any special functions, it just carries a little space energy. I hope the pomegranates produced from it will taste better.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of the stream water in the space or the variety of pomegranates, but the pomegranates feel very sweet.
"They are delicious. When we leave, pick some of these pomegranates and bring them back. My family will definitely like them. And leave some for Sister Gao. You can pick some and give them to her when you go back."
Song Mo nodded and said, "Okay!"
They first cleaned up the house inside and outside, and then cleared the weeds in the yard.
More than an hour later, Chen Kexin took out the raw material and the stone-breaking machine from the space.
Then he found the red and blue pens in the space, and drew the approximate range by feeling the coolness of the wool material.
Seeing his young wife busying around confidently, Song Mo's eyes suddenly sparkled: "Wife, you are so amazing. I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated to be able to marry you in this life."
"Okay, stop kidding me. I'll be so happy soon that I won't know where to go. Go get the wires and we'll cut the stone in the yard."
As she spoke, Chen Kexin took out the power strip and other things from the space.
"Yes, sir!" Song Mo took these things into the house and started working.
Half an hour later, everything was ready and the two were ready to cut the stone.
Chen Kexin numbered the dozen or so pieces of raw material, intending to untie the ones that were the least cold first, and then the coldest large piece of raw material last.
After Song Mo connected the electricity, he began to cut the stone confidently according to the marked lines.
All I heard was the stone cutter making a "sizzling" sound and cutting hard.
After peeling off the stone skin, he was stunned when he saw the glutinous rice jadeite that had been cut off on the cut surface.
"Wife, you cut the line too deep and cut off a piece of jade."
Chen Kexin immediately understood that there was less coolness at the edge, which caused some deviation in the line she drew.
At the same time, I secretly felt lucky that I had processed the low-value raw materials first.
She said guiltily, "Then just move a little further along the line I drew."
"good!"
The two of them gradually fumbled with how to cut the stone. When they finally took out the glutinous rice-type jadeite with floating flowers from the rough material, they saw that the surface looked like it was chewed by a dog, and they were a little frustrated.
"Wife, they say everyone has their own expertise. We are all amateurs, and the jadeite we made is really ugly."
"You also know that these rough materials contain jadeite, and we can't ask outsiders to sort them out. There is a saying that goes, practice makes perfect, so let's take it slow."
Song Mo nodded and said, "I know. I'll carefully wipe off the stone skin on the edge."
"Zizi..." Song Mo wiped it carefully, and after a while, the surface of the jade looked smooth and pleasing to the eye.
"Continue!" Song Mo quickly regained his confidence and picked up another piece of rough material to continue cutting stone.
Half an hour later, the skin of the rough stone was removed and it was discovered that it was a piece of ice jade in three colors: green, yellow and white.
Chen Kexin said happily: "The colors of this three-color jade are beautiful. I will find a carving master to design and carve it into an ornament later."
"Okay! Then I'll continue to cut the stone."
An hour later, the third piece of rough material was cut into the largest piece of jade weighing about eight or nine pounds. The color was icy pink jade with floating flowers. It was placed in the distance, like red plum blossoms in the snow.
Their eyes lit up immediately. Chen Kexin said in surprise, "This jade looks good! The edges are smooth too. Let's take another one!"
Song Mo glanced at the time and said regretfully, "Wife, it's getting late. We should go back and not let our family worry about us."
Chen Kexin then realized that the sun was setting and there would be no buses at this late hour. This place was quite a distance from the compound.
"Pack up and go home!"
She put the three pieces of jade and the remaining rough materials into the space.
These jades and rough materials are extremely valuable and must not be left here. As for the stone cutting machine, carry it into the house.
Of course, they did not forget to pick the pomegranates from the tree and put them into a bamboo basket. The two of them carried them back on the bus.
Song Mo whispered confidently, "Wife, I am confident that the jadeite I will get tomorrow will definitely be more beautiful than these three."
Chen Kexin thought that the remaining jade in the rough material was cooler than today's.
Smiling, he said, "I am confident that the quality of the jadeite I will get tomorrow will definitely be better than today's!"
