"It shouldn't happen. Your father is a steady and steady person. He won't take risks unless he is absolutely sure. Don't worry." Mu Yingbao comforted Brother Hui while praying in his heart that the man was safe.

It was half the night before they slept. Mu Yingbao was completely sleepless because of the letter written by Mo Yunbai, and Brother Hui was also very energetic.

The two of them sat in the study and chatted, talking mostly about the things that happened in Youcheng, including the Shihai Village that benefits the sea, Sanyang Wharf, and Hui Ge's close friend Haibei.

E闵

I don't know how Shell's decorative ornaments business is doing.

"Mom, my son wants to eat mantis shrimp." Brother Hui said with nostalgia.

"Yeah, I'm craving seafood too." Mu Yingbao also smacked his lips.

After they finished talking, they smiled at each other.

Brother Hui simply poured the big gift package given by Mu Yingbao onto the desk and carefully looked at every snack he had never seen before.

Picking up a stick, he asked Mu Yingbao, "Mother, what is this called?"

Mu Yingbao smiled and told; "Lollipop."

"Lollipop?" Brother Hui pushed aside the paper wrapping it and saw that the top of the lollipop was in the shape of a round, translucent ball.

Tried a lick, very sweet.

"Mom, that's really interesting. The candy on a stick is called a lollipop. Then the ice cream we ate last time also had a stick, so why isn't it called popsicle?" he asked casually.

When Mu Yingbao heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Mother, why are you laughing? Do you think your son is childish and said something ridiculous?" Brother Hui asked, blinking his big eyes.

Mu Yingbao smiled and shook his head; "No, the reason I smiled is that I think you are very smart, son, and you can draw inferences from one example. The ice cream I made last time also has other names, popsicles, or ice sticks, and you can also call it popsicles."

After receiving his mother's praise, Brother Hui smiled happily.

"Hey, mother, what's in here?" Brother Hui suddenly discovered that there was a small brocade bag inside the snack.

"Just open it and you'll know." Mu Yingbao didn't tell him directly.

Brother Hui put the candy in his mouth, carefully opened the small brocade bag, and took out something.

An oblong object with a small hole on it, with a silk rope through it, and two red Marai beads, one large and one small, strung on the rope.

There are patterns on that thing, and when you touch it in your hand you can feel clear lines on the smooth surface, but it doesn't feel like jade.

"Mom, what is this?" Brother Hui looked at it curiously in his hands. It was inconvenient to talk with the candy in his mouth, so he quickly took it out and put it in his own teacup.

Seeing that the child was very fond of it, Mu Yingbao knew that he really liked it. "This thing is called crocodile fruit. You can see that it has many natural spots on its surface, like many eyes, so it is also called Thousand-Eyed Apple.

It is actually the seed of a tree, and it takes several years from flowering to fruiting. Although it is a seed of a tree, it is very hard and solid, and can be polished into handles, bracelets, etc.

Most of these things are white, red and green are very rare, if there are any, they are considered to be high-quality things. If you play with it for a long time and take good care of it, its color will change from light to dark, brown, brown or red, and the surface will become more and more shiny.

Playing with Bodhi seeds can massage your hands. The human hand is the reflex area of ​​many important organs. Through the massage while playing, it is good for the heart, liver, spleen and kidneys.

It is said that Bodhi beads bracelets and ornaments can purify the mind, make people feel refreshed and happy.

According to Buddhist scriptures, chanting Buddha's name with Buddhist beads made of Bodhi seeds can gain infinite merits, so some Buddhists will make this as a ritual instrument.

It’s just that the varieties of Bodhi seeds used are not the same.

That's all I know about this thing.

Hong Ran I am not sure whether these benefits are true or just legends, but I want to give you something special as a New Year gift. You are a boy, so I can't give you pearl jewelry, rouge and pollen bracelets, etc. After thinking about it, I chose this.

I polished this myself, but unfortunately I polished three of them and they are all white. If you don’t like it, you’ll have to make do with it.”

"Mother, I like it. Where did you get it? I have never seen it before." Brother Hui put down the Bodhi seed, quickly took the cotton towel beside the desk, and wiped his hands vigorously again, for fear of dirtying the gift made by his mother herself.

Talking about this, Mu Yingbao smiled; "This was the last time I went shopping with your father. I wanted to buy sesame, peanuts, walnuts, etc., so I went into a shop. I accidentally saw it at the corner of the counter. The owner said that his youngest son followed a foreign caravan out of Zhao and saw it on the roadside.

I was curious at that time. I heard that they were the seeds of a tree, and that tree also had another nickname, the Bodhi tree. So I bought ten and planted five of them when I got home.

As a result, not a single one grew. I thought it might be due to the climate or soil.

I didn't open the remaining five and just left them on the counter.

Seeing that I was interested, he told me it was a gift and didn't charge me for it.

By the way, do you want to see its original appearance?"

Brother Hui nodded repeatedly; "I want to see it."

Mu Yingbao immediately stood up and went to the drawer of the cupboard, and took out the two that had been polished earlier and the remaining two that had not been polished to show to Brother Hui.

"So this is what it looks like?" Brother Hui picked one up curiously and compared it with the one his mother gave him.

I didn't expect that this dusty scar would be transformed into a beautiful jade with patterns after polishing. It's so magical!

"If you like it, I'll give you this unpolished one. You can polish one yourself when you have time. When you meet a girl you like, you can give it to her as a gift." Mu Yingbao teased the child.

Brother Hui smiled and winked at Mu Yingbao. "Then mother left one unpolished. Did you plan to leave it for father to play with, or did you polish it yourself and give it to father?"

"Oh, you're one year older now and your tongue has become more eloquent. You dare to tease me?" Mu Yingbao reached out and patted the child on the shoulder.

Brother Hui didn't hide either. He smiled and put one of the unpolished ones into his gift bag.

Brother Hui suddenly thought, "Oh, mother, this thing is probably still a rare thing in our country of Yan. Otherwise, when we go to court on the third day of the first lunar month, I will talk to Feng Jucai. If our caravan goes to foreign countries in the future and sees it, we can buy a batch and make it into bracelets, Buddhist beads, etc. We will definitely make a fortune."

"Son, if you are the one who can help us, in a few years, we will become the richest country." Mu Yingbao praised earnestly.

Perhaps it was because the child had lived with her in Youcheng for three years and she took him with her wherever she went every day, so he had close contact with many trivial matters of life such as rice, oil and salt, and therefore understood the importance of money very well.

Not only do they know how to save, but they can also spot business opportunities and find ways to make money instead of exploiting the people.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while. Hui felt sorry for his mother, so he let her sleep for a while and went back to the main hall with the gift bag.

So, I understand the importance of money.

Not only do they know how to save, but they can also spot business opportunities and find ways to make money instead of exploiting the people.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while. Hui felt sorry for his mother, so he let her sleep for a while and went back to the main hall with the gift bag.

Mu Yingbao thought about lying down for a while, but unexpectedly, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

It was almost dawn when she had a dream. In the dream, Xue Wenyu rescued a pretty girl. The girl insisted on marrying him, so Xue Wenyu brought her back.

Mu Yingbao was so sad that she woke up crying.

She realized she was dreaming, but she still felt uncomfortable. What if it was real?
