Grinding jade.

Li Siheng cared about Hou Jia's affairs, and the movements of the people under his hands were naturally quick.In just one day, almost all the scraps from the various workshops of the Li family were collected.

Li Siheng originally wanted to send someone to send it there, but when he opened the drawer and accidentally found a set of jade rollers in his drawer, he suddenly decided to send it to Hou Jia himself.

That set of jade rollers was used by Li Siheng when he was young, and he has almost no memory of that time, but when he held those jade rollers in his hands, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling.Li Siheng ran his fingers across the whole set of jade ingots, and finally closed the brocade box slowly.

The people under his hands were very careful. Although they were leftovers, they packed each piece in a small plastic bag and sealed them, and then put them in wooden boxes one by one.The boy moved these wooden boxes into the trunk of Li Siheng's car, and Li Siheng drove to the old house of the Hou family alone.

Li Siheng is naturally very familiar with the road leading to the Hou's Mansion.It was two o'clock in the afternoon, avoiding the rush hour of commuting, Li Siheng arrived at his destination soon.

Li Siheng stopped the car steadily, and was about to raise his hand to ring the doorbell, but suddenly felt something was wrong.The Hou family has always been strict, and it would be very rude to come uninvited.Li Siheng was always cautious in dealing with the Hou family, and rarely did such inappropriate things.However, when it comes to matters related to Hou Jia, he inevitably seems a little eager.

My heart turned a few times, and I always felt that something was wrong.Li Siheng shook his head with some self-mockery. It seems that this time, he came in vain.Sighing, Li Siheng withdrew his hand that was about to ring the doorbell, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

It is now May, and the weather in Yucheng is getting hotter. Hou Jia is wearing a loose linen long half-sleeve and slacks on his lower body, but instead of wearing sneakers on his feet, he is wearing a pair of flip-flops crookedly, and the trousers are slightly long Covering the young boy's white and tender feet, half concealed, but it makes people want to see the whole picture.

Li Siheng's gaze rested on Hou Yan's feet, he had never noticed that "my" feet would grow so...delicate.

The young man's feet were extremely white because they hadn't seen the sun all year round, but the toes were glowing with a healthy and soft pink.The only pity is that the teenager's toenails were obviously trimmed by himself at will. Cutting them close to the flesh is the most common and trouble-saving method, but it is not beautiful enough.

Li Siheng even imagined that the boy's toenails should be shaped into round shells, covering the boy's toes like crystals, making his feet look extraordinarily delicate.Then, such a foot should be held in the hand and played with carefully.

Hou Yan didn't know that Li Siheng had such a strange thought, but when he saw him staring at his feet closely, he shrank his feet back in embarrassment, and curled up his toes in embarrassment.Just now the housekeeper asked him to go out and buy a bottle of soy sauce. He disliked the trouble of wearing shoes, so he simply dragged a pair of flip flops and walked out. He bumped into an acquaintance before he even wanted to go out.

Raising his hand and scratching his hair, Hou Yan couldn't help explaining to Li Siheng in a low voice, "Um, Brother Li, I'm just going out to buy a bottle of soy sauce."

He didn't raise his head and Li Siheng didn't pay attention. At this moment, Hou Yan's hair was curled up. He was a little less delicate than usual, but he looked more cute and cute.

Li Siheng nodded silently, raised his hand to help Hou Jia smooth his curled hair, pulled him to the co-pilot's seat, and then walked around to sit on the other side.

"Huh? Brother Li..." Hou Yan struggled to get out of the car, but found that the door had been locked by Li Siheng.

"Do you know how far the nearest supermarket is?" Li Siheng started the car.

Hou Yan was stunned.He had been living in his own apartment before, and everything was not much different from his previous life, so he never had the consciousness of suddenly changing from a scumbag to a rich man.But this time, he suddenly realized that he was Hou Yan, but this Hou Yan was not that Hou Yan.

Hou Yan used to have a car and a house, but he couldn't own a house with winding corridors and pavilions like the Hou's old house.It is also impossible to live in a quiet location where you can't find a supermarket after walking for more than 40 minutes.

However, in this life, these belong to him.And those obligations and responsibilities that once did not belong to him also belonged to him.Even those inner fluctuations that do not belong to him need to be borne by him.

Li Si glanced at Hou Jia, and found that the child's eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.With a slight cough, Hou Yan was startled, and stared at him with a somewhat "accusing" look.

Li Siheng lowered the corners of his raised lips, and said to Hou Jia in a low voice, "Xiao Jiuer, brother, I need to trouble you." Li Siheng's expression was very serious, and there was no trace of a joke, which made Hou Jia nervous. up.

Subconsciously straightened his back, Hou Jia also lowered his voice, "Yes. If you have something to say, Brother Li." Obviously there were only these two people in the car, but Hou Jia's expression seemed to be that of an underground party secretly meeting, nervous It was so serious that Li Siheng almost burst out laughing.

Li Siheng had never realized that he was still so funny.

Stared at seriously by a pair of clear eyes, Li Siheng coughed lightly, controlled the steering wheel with one hand, and pulled down the light shield in front of Hou Jia with the other.There is a small mirror on the light shield, and Li Siheng pointed to his hair and said to Hou Jia, "It's curled up, press it down."

Hou Yan stared blankly at himself in the mirror.Then he suddenly stared at Li Siheng's expressionless face for a while as if realizing something, and then asked cautiously after a while, "Brother Li... Do you have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Looking at the hair, the hobbies are a bit bizarre.

Li Siheng's expression was slightly distorted.This kind of thing that doesn't see "my" appearance is a little bit messy, how can I say it?Raising his hand and pressing his swollen temple, Li Siheng simply nodded his head lightly.It is much better for Hou Yan to think that he is obsessive-compulsive than to make him believe in such a weird setting as "Li Siheng is another Hou Yan in the world".

Fortunately, Hou Yan didn't delve into it, but nodded in understanding.After repeated pressing, while the stump of hair on the top of his head was still stubborn, Hou Jia took out a bottle of mineral water from the storage box in front of Li Si's horizontal car, poured a little into the palm of his hand, and wet his hair.

After fiddled with him a few times, although the boy in the mirror had some messy hairstyles, it fit him well with his casual attire.After looking at it for a while and making sure there was nothing wrong, Li Siheng and Hou Jia both breathed a sigh of relief.

In a short while, I have arrived at the supermarket.Because Li Siheng was still waiting outside, Hou Yan just tried his best to scan a few packs of snacks and a bottle of soy sauce as quickly as possible, then paid the bill and went out.

Seeing the potato chips and lollipops in Hou Jia's bag, Li Siheng's obvious brows twitched.The Hou family's family education is very strict, and they absolutely do not allow their children to eat snacks, especially this kind of unhealthy food.He can be sure that Hou Xiaojun bought these because he lived alone outside, didn't know how to take good care of himself, and bought indiscriminately.

Not paying attention to Li Siheng's expression, Hou Yan sat back in the co-pilot's seat and put the bag on his lap.Li Siheng pursed his lips, and finally swallowed the words of reproach.

The same as when they came, the two drove back.

The Hou's Mansion was already within walking distance, and Hou Jia suddenly realized belatedly that Li Siheng must have something to do when he came to the Hou's Mansion.But now it was delayed because he was sent to buy soy sauce.

Apologetically getting out of the car, Hou Yan bent down and said to Li Siheng who was in the cab, "Brother Li, won't you go in and sit down?" He noticed that Li Siheng was clearly about to ring the doorbell when he went out.

Upon receiving the invitation, Li Siheng naturally nodded kindly.After parking the car, Li Siheng opened the back cover of the car, revealing several sturdy wooden boxes.A few guys from the Hou family came to the front and asked, "Does Young Master Li want to move these into the house?"

These guys have been in the Hou family for a long time, and they have gained some knowledge. They know that all the special wooden boxes with the Li family logo are probably packed with jade or jade materials. Be very careful.

"Thank you." Leaning forward, he took out a brocade box from the storage box between the two seats of the driver's cab and the co-pilot, and Li Siheng turned around to thank the guys.

Passing the brocade box to Hou Yan, Li Siheng said, "This is the jade mound I used to grind, but I don't use it now. Although it is not a precious thing, you can still use it if you want to learn jade carving."

Jade grinders were once a necessary item for jade carvers, but with the so-called development of technology, they have been gradually replaced by more labor-saving dental machines.The industry defaults to engraving by dental machine as manual engraving. Such a "labor-saving" method has gradually reduced the number of jade rollers, and even disappeared for a while.

However, the charm of pure handwork cannot be replaced by any machine.No matter how advanced the dental machine is, it is too cold and hard, losing the vigor and vitality of the lines.Therefore, people are surprised that a pair of nimble hands and a simple set of jade grinding stones are the real soul of a piece of tone.

Hou Jia once had a set of jade-milling mounds handed down by his master, with a texture that seemed iron but not iron, black and solid.It's a pity that most of them have been scattered due to the war and other things. When they arrived in Hou Jia's hands, there were only three left, and they could only make some small flower pieces.

What Li Siheng gave to Hou Jia was a complete set of jade ingots.From the moment Hou Yan opened the lid, he couldn't take his eyes off them.His hand that took this set of jade grinding stones was almost trembling.Such a complete set of jade mills would have been used to make large-scale carvings if he was at the peak of his previous life.

He knew that Li Siheng came from a family of jade carvings, so Hou Yan could be sure that it was impossible for Li Siheng not to know what this set of jade grinding stones meant to a jade carving master.

A hint of panic and bewilderment gradually appeared in Hou Yan's eyes.Since you are so generous, how can I repay it?Although he was very reluctant to give up, Hou Jia still gritted his teeth and wanted to return the brocade box in his hand.

However, Li Siheng seemed to be aware of his thoughts, snatched the bag from Hou Jia's hand, and said first, "I didn't give it to you for free, I exchanged it with these." After finishing speaking, he raised the potato in Hou Jia's hand piece.

Hou Yan opened his mouth, but Li Siheng didn't give him a chance to repent, and drove a long way with a large bag of snacks in his hand.There was no one in front of the Hou's mansion, and he accelerated violently again, and he had gone a long way in the blink of an eye.

Hou Yan stayed where he was in a daze, still holding the box of precious jade ingots in his hand, but after a while, he silently covered his face as if he just realized it.

Nima, keep my soy sauce...
