Chapter 4116 New Master

Bravo.

This kid really...

He has been smart and clever since childhood.

Old Mrs. Xiao had no idea how many times she had expressed this sentiment.

……

"Is Xiaoxiao still with you?"

Grandma Zhao asked.

"Praise him more for me."

"When I meet him, I'll give him more compliments."

……

"He's right next to me."

Old Mrs. Xiao tilted her head to look at her grandson sitting next to her.

……

"Hello, Grandma Zhao."

Xiao Xiao leaned forward and slightly raised the volume on the phone.

……

"what?"

Grandma Zhao was a little surprised.

But soon, a smile appeared on her face.

"Hey."

"Xiaoxiao, I thought you went back to school."

Turns out he's still at home.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"I'll be back in a bit."

……

"oh oh."

Grandma Zhao nodded.

"It would be nice to stay at home for a while if you have nothing to do."

……

"Xiaoxiao."

Grandma Zhao returned to the previous topic, "Do you still remember what Grandma Zhao said?"

"It was you who helped Grandma Zhao..."

Xiaoxiao was very young back then.

I don't know how many years have passed...

Do you remember this incident?

……

"I remembered it when you mentioned it."

Xiao Xiao replied.

……

“I remember now…”

Grandma Zhao was very happy to hear this answer.

After all, it is something that left a very deep impression on me.

Although it is understandable and reasonable that children forget things because they are young.

But she still hopes her child will remember it.

"Just remember."

"I suddenly remembered it today..."

……

"Xiao Zhao."

Old Mrs. Xiao glanced at the stone sculpture not far away. They had been diverted from the topic for a while.

Well.

It seemed like she couldn't help herself...

He told the other party everything about the misunderstanding that Xiaoxiao had encountered today.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Zhao later gave her another "great achievement" regarding the child Xiaoxiao.

This back and forth...

They have been off topic for some time.

……

"Hey."

Grandma Zhao responded.

……

“What were you thinking when you bought this stone sculpture?”

Old Mrs. Xiao went straight to the point.

“Why did you buy this stone sculpture?”

Old Mrs. Xiao was very curious about Grandma Zhao's answer.

……

Grandma Zhao was slightly stunned.

stone carving?

Oh.

Grandma Zhao soon realized.

"I almost forgot..."

Grandma Zhao smiled embarrassedly, "You called to ask about the stone carving..."

……

Old Mrs. Xiao twitched her lips slightly.

Almost forgot……

She suddenly lost hope in Grandma Zhao's answer.

Uh……

Did she have any hopes before?

Old Mrs. Xiao was puzzled.

What answer did she expect to hear?
……

"Cough cough~"

Grandma Zhao coughed twice softly.

“This stone sculpture looks like this…”

Grandma Zhao paused, "...you also know..."

“When people get older, they are more likely to be fooled.”

“When people go to unfamiliar places, they are easily fooled.”

"So, when older people go to unfamiliar places, they are more likely to be deceived."

……

Mrs. Xiao: ...

This is a very roundabout way of speaking...

Why be so euphemistic?

is not it……

"Have you been cheated?" Old Mrs. Xiao asked directly.

……

"no……"

Grandma Zhao's voice gradually faded away.

But her voice rose again in the next sentence, "It's not considered cheating."

“After all, the stuff is real.”

……

"Can a stone sculpture be fake?"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked back.

She wasn't being sarcastic.

But I really don't know much about stone carving.

In her opinion, stone is stone, not jade. Does it mean there is a difference between good and bad?
……

Grandma Zhao opened her mouth.

Uh……

She didn't know how to answer this.

"…I was just impulsive at the time…"

Grandma Zhao said embarrassedly, "People praised this so highly that everyone in the same trade also bought it."

“I think it’s carved very well…”

"…I picked one and bought it…"

"I thought this trip wouldn't be in vain..."

"I have to buy a souvenir to take back..."

……

Old Mrs. Xiao held her forehead with her hand.

Even such a straightforward trick can fool you...

Her friend is really simple.

"How did you carry such a heavy thing home?"

……

"The store will mail it to your home."

Grandma Zhao answered quickly.

The other party’s good after-sales service was also one of the reasons why she finally decided to buy.

……

“Do you regret buying this?”

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at the stone sculpture that looked like a fox.

The appearance... is just barely acceptable.

It doesn't look too rough.

of course.

Made of stone.

Perhaps due to improper preservation or age, the surface of the stone sculpture shows obvious signs of stone peeling.

This stone sculpture is not rough.

But also rough.

……

"regret?"

Grandma Zhao was slightly stunned.

"Um……"

"That's not bad."

"You saw it too."

“This stone sculpture is actually pretty good.”

"I've already bought it..."

"Although the price is a bit high, I told myself that stone carvings are also works of art, and it is reasonable for works of art to be more expensive."

"It has a unique flavor when kept at home."

"Some customers have praised this stone sculpture."

"They say this fox is very lifelike."

“…Besides…”

"After watching it for a long time, I get used to it and it becomes pleasing to the eye."

“It has become a feature of my home.”

Most people don’t have such a large stone sculpture in their homes.

……

"Then why don't you want it?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was puzzled.

From what Grandma Zhao said, doesn't she like this stone sculpture very much?

Now that you are used to it, why don't you keep it?

……

"What do you mean I don't want it?"

Grandma Zhao corrected Mrs. Xiao's statement, "I gave it to you."

……

Doesn't this mean the same thing?

Old Mrs. Xiao took a deep breath.

Wasn’t it given to her because Grandma Zhao didn’t want it anymore?

.....
"What's the meaning?"

Grandma Zhao retorted, "You said I didn't want it anymore, as if I had thrown it away."

"But I didn't."

"I thought about it very seriously and found a very good new owner for it."

……

Mrs. Xiao: ...

"Among your friends, I am the only one with a yard that is convenient for placing this stone sculpture, right?"

That was her euphemism.

Other people may not have a place for this stone sculpture in their homes.

But unless you really like stone sculptures, few people would be willing to put such a large stone sculpture that takes up a lot of space in their home.

Her house has a yard.

There is relatively more space available for placing stone carvings.

It doesn't take up space in the house.

……

Grandma Zhao smiled awkwardly.

"how come?"

"I think the stone carvings fit in well with the temperament of the teahouse."

"I think if any of my friends would like this stone sculpture..."

"Who else but you?"

……

Mrs. Xiao: ...

　ps: Thank you Cangqiong Qianjue for the reward~(*︶*)!
