Although there is not much of this kind of colorful jade, Li Le has quite a few. There are still several pieces in his box, but they are neither phoenix pendants nor jade pendants.

The reason why he took out this phoenix pendant was, of course, to prepare it for Cheng’s mother. During the Chinese New Year, Cheng’s mother gave her pendant to her little nephew. Li Le couldn’t pretend that he didn’t know about it!

You know, that pendant is very precious to Cheng’s mother. She didn’t even give it to her daughter-in-law, but gave it to Li Le’s little nephew instead.

This is not to say that Li Le’s nephew is more important than her daughter-in-law, but mainly because she didn’t have anything else on her at the time.

If she was given time to prepare, she certainly wouldn’t have given the pendant away as a gift.

In this case, Li Le must of course prepare something good for Cheng Ma, a phoenix pendant that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The other item is a bracelet, which is also an old item, and it is a glass-type imperial green bracelet.

This was also prepared for Cheng’s mother. It was mainly because during the Chinese New Year, Cheng’s mother was very envious of the bracelet on Li’s mother’s wrist.

This thing may be a family heirloom to others, but to Li Le, it is nothing at all.

Because there are still several pieces in this box, not counting the ones worn on the wrists of Li Ma, Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei.

After taking out these two items, Li Le closed the box and then carried it into the east wing.

I found two boxes, packed the things in them, put them on the coffee table, and then went into the house to take a nap.

At around two o’clock in the afternoon, Li Le woke up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then came to the living room.

Looking at his watch, it was still early, so Li Le made himself a pot of tea.

After finishing a pot of tea, it was already past three o’clock. It was about time, so Li Le took a bag, packed the two boxes, and then left home.

Yes, he didn’t drive. It was just so far and not worth driving. Besides, there was no parking space at Cheng Fei’s house, so he could only park outside the gate.

The alley is not wide to begin with, and if one car is parked in it, it becomes even narrower. But there is no way around it, this is how the capital is.

Besides, Cheng Fei wasn’t the only one who parked his car in the alley. In the entire alley, everyone had cars parked on both sides of their doorsteps!

In fact, it is still possible to park, but it is a little troublesome when going out, but this does not include Cheng Fei’s house.

Because Cheng Fei lives at the entrance of the alley! He can just back the car out.

More than ten minutes later, Li Le arrived at Cheng Fei’s door. He didn’t even need to knock because the door was open.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Le entered, he saw Cheng’s mother. At this time, Cheng’s mother was helping the nanny pick vegetables.

Yes, it was picking vegetables. Normally, Cheng Ma didn’t need to do any of the picking because it was the nanny’s job. But Cheng Ma was bored at home, so she helped the nanny pick vegetables, and the nanny could chat with her at the same time.

“Auntie, I’m here.” Li Le shouted.

Hearing Li Le’s voice, Cheng Ma’s eyes lit up, and she quickly put down the dishes, stood up and said, “Xiao Le, why are you here? Come in quickly.”

“Ok!”

Mother Cheng brought Li Le into the house, and another nanny quickly poured the tea and handed it to Li Le.

“Thank you!” Li Le said to the nanny.

“You’re welcome.”

“Okay, go and help pick the vegetables!” Mother Cheng said to the nanny.

“Good lady.”

After helping out, Cheng Ma looked at Li Le and asked, “You little brat, you haven’t told me why you’re here yet?”

Li Le said helplessly: “Can’t I come and see you and uncle?”

Mother Cheng curled her lips and said, “I don’t believe it. I think you are here to have a drink with Cheng Fei!”

Li Le shook his head and said, “Auntie, that’s not true. Forget it, I’ll tell you the truth! I’m here to give you a gift.”

“Give me a gift?” Cheng’s mother pointed at herself and asked.

“Yes, the gift is here, you can take a look.” Li Le picked up the bag, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Cheng’s mother.

“What is this?” asked Cheng’s mother.

“You’ll know if you open it.” Li Le smiled and didn’t tell Cheng’s mother.

Mother Cheng picked up the bag and took out one of the boxes and opened it with confusion.

“What a beautiful bracelet.” Cheng’s mother said in surprise.

But Mother Cheng knows that this is a genuine glass-type imperial green green!

This thing is hard to come by. If you want to buy one, it is probably impossible without participating in an auction.

Moreover, the price is very high, and even if you participate in the auction, you may not be able to buy it.

This is because Cheng’s mother doesn’t know that this is an old item, otherwise she wouldn’t think so.

I thought that no one would put such an old bracelet up for auction. It’s a family heirloom!

“It’s beautiful! It’s just right for you.”

“Xiao Le, why did you give me this bracelet?”

Li Le shrugged and said, “Just give it to me if you want to. Besides, do I need a reason to give you a gift?”

“Uh! Okay!” Mother Cheng didn’t know what to say, because Li Le was right, there was no need for a reason to give herself a gift.

“Thank you, Xiaole.”

“Auntie, you are being too polite. It’s not necessary at all.”

“Yeah!” Cheng’s mother nodded, took out another box and asked, “Is this too?”

“Yes, open it and have a look.”

Mother Cheng quickly opened the box, looked at Li Le in surprise and asked, “Is this colorful jade?”

It seems that Cheng Ma also knows about colorful jade, and seems to be very familiar with it.

But it’s true that Cheng Ma is also very knowledgeable!

“Xiao Le, is this ancient jade?”

Because Mother Cheng knew very well that it was basically impossible to find a piece of colorful jade now.

This thing is too rare. If it exists, it is an old item.

“Yeah!” Li Le nodded.

Mother Cheng shook her head and said, “No, Xiaole, take this back. It’s too expensive.”

“Auntie, just take it if it’s given to you! Although it’s rare, I still have some.”

“But this…”

Before Cheng Ma finished speaking, Li Le said, “It’s okay. This is a gift to honor you.”

Li Le didn’t mean to interrupt Cheng’s mother, he was just afraid that Cheng’s mother would refuse.

Seeing Li Le’s expression, Cheng Ma knew that Li Le really wanted to give it to her, so she said, “Okay then! I’ll take it.”

“Is this right?”

“Well, let’s eat here tonight. I’ll ask the chef to make a few dishes you like.”

“No need, Auntie, I’d better go back and eat!”

“What are you talking about, kid! I can still let you go back to eat when you come home. Oh! I see, you want to go back to eat with Qingcheng and Weiwei! That’s easy, I’ll call them and ask them to come here directly after get off work.”

“Ah! Auntie, no need for that!”

“What do you mean you don’t need it? Listen to me, I’ll make a call right now and arrange for the chef to make some more delicious food.”

After saying this, Mother Cheng put down the two boxes, picked up the phone and went out, not giving Li Le any chance to refuse.

About five or six minutes later, Cheng’s mother came in again and said, “I’ve already called. Qingcheng and Weiwei will come over after get off work.”

“OK then!”

Then Li Le chatted with Cheng’s mother in the living room. “By the way, Auntie, when will Fei Ge have his wedding?”

Li Le had not forgotten this. The two of them had already held a wedding in Chen Ying’s hometown.

Then we must do it here as well, and it won’t take too long.

“We were originally planning to hold it in the first month of the year, but the two of us have already agreed to hold it on the second day of the second month.”

“It’s a good idea to hold it on February 2! The dragon raises its head.”

“Yes! So your uncle and I didn’t object. It didn’t take long anyway.”

“Ok!”

At around half past five, it was already dark, and then Li Le heard the sound of an engine outside the yard.

And as soon as he heard the voice, Li Le knew that it was Cheng Fei who came back.

Because the sound of a Jeep is different from that of a Lincoln, and most importantly, the sound of a Lincoln is not as loud.

Sure enough, in just two minutes, Cheng Fei came in from outside.

As soon as he came in, he rubbed his eyes and said, “I thought I was seeing things! It’s really you!”

Of course, Cheng Fei said this to Li Le. He probably didn’t expect Li Le to come over!

“Why did you come back alone? Where’s your sister-in-law?”

“She’ll be back soon. She’s already in a taxi.”

In the past, Cheng Fei would pick up Chen Ying after get off work, but now he basically doesn’t do that.

It’s not that Cheng Fei doesn’t want to go, nor that he has changed after getting married, but that Chen Ying doesn’t let him pick her up.

The two people did not work in the same company, and were even quite far away from each other. While Cheng Fei was running there, Chen Ying had already returned by bus.

As for why I didn’t buy a car for Chen Ying, there was actually no other way.

Cheng Fei’s house is not like Li Le’s house. It does not have a yard that big enough to park a car.

At his house, the car can only be parked on both sides of the gate. It is okay to park two cars, but there is no room for another car.

“By the way, Lezi, why are you here at this time?” Cheng Fei asked.

“I came to ask, when are you going to have your wedding?”

“Hi! February 2nd, I’ll let you know then.” Cheng Fei scratched his head and said.

“Kid, don’t you see that Xiaole was joking? Xiaole came here today to give me a gift.” Mother Cheng pushed Cheng Fei and said.

“Uh!”

Cheng Fei scratched his head and asked, “Gift? What gift?”

Mother Cheng pointed to the box on the coffee table and said, “Isn’t that it!”

Cheng Fei quickly went up to open the box, and when he saw what was inside, he said, “This is so beautiful.”

“Nonsense, this colorful phoenix pendant is an ancient jade. It is hard to find nowadays, so of course it is beautiful.” Cheng’s mother said.

“Huh! Colorful Phoenix Pendant?” Cheng Fei asked puzzledly.

The main reason is that Cheng Fei doesn’t understand this thing, and has never even heard of it. How could he not be confused?

“Yes, but don’t think about it. I can leave it to you later at most. I can’t give it to you now.”

Mother Cheng likes this colorful phoenix pendant very much and plans to wear it with her in the future. At this moment, she will not give it to anyone who asks for it.

“What is this?” Cheng Fei opened another box.

Then the bracelet appeared in front of Cheng Fei.

“Is this imperial green?” Cheng Fei asked uncertainly.

Cheng Fei didn’t understand this either, but he had heard about it more or less.

“That’s right. It’s glass-type imperial green. Xiaole gave it to me.” Mother Cheng said proudly.

“Auntie, this is not only a glass-type imperial green, but it is also an old item.”

Li Le was worried that Cheng’s mother didn’t know the value of the bracelet and treated it as an ordinary glass-type imperial green.

“What, this bracelet is also an old item?” Mother Cheng looked at Li Le in surprise and asked.

“Yes, Auntie, this is a bracelet from the mid-Qing Dynasty.”

“Okay, I understand.” After saying that, he carefully took it from Cheng Fei’s hand and closed it.

She thought it was a modern bracelet, but she didn’t expect it to be from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Although the mid-Qing Dynasty is not that long ago, the value of this bracelet is different.

Not long after, Cheng’s father came back. When he saw Li Le, he smiled and said, “Xiao Le is here?”

Li Le quickly stood up and said, “Yes, uncle.”

“Sit down, why are you standing up?”

At this time, Cheng’s mother said, “Old Cheng, Xiaole gave me two gifts.”

“Oh! Really?”

“Well! Look, they are all old items, and they are colorful phoenix pendants and glass-type imperial green bracelets.”

“What!” Dad Cheng looked at Li Le in surprise.

Although Mr. Cheng is not interested in antiques, he also knows the value of glass-type imperial green.

Not to mention it’s an old item.

Similarly, because he was not interested in antiques, he did not know the value of the colorful phoenix pendant.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the surprising glass-type imperial green bracelet, but the colorful phoenix pendant.

Mother Cheng took out the colorful phoenix pendant, put it on her neck, gestured and said, “Look, isn’t it beautiful?”

“Beautiful, very beautiful.”

Only then did Mr. Cheng see what the colorful phoenix pendant looked like. It was really beautiful.

It looks like it’s alive, not only gorgeous but also colorful.

“Hello, uncle and aunt!”

Just at this moment, Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei came in from outside, and both of them were not empty-handed, but holding something.

However, the things they took were not bought, but brought from home. Each of them carried a box.

What Li Qingcheng moved was white wine, and the old wine that was displayed in Li Le’s house.

Nie Weiwei was also moving wine, the same old wine that Li Le had displayed. The difference was that Nie Weiwei was moving red wine and white wine.

This girl was really generous. She moved nearly twenty bottles at once. You know, there weren’t many bottles on Li Le’s wine rack!
There’s no way around it. Even in the 1950s, red and white wines were not easy to buy.

Many stores were sold out as soon as the goods were stocked by rich ladies and wives of officials.

Li Le could only pick up some of the leftovers, so he didn’t have much red and white wine at home.

Fortunately, Li Le is not very fond of this wine, and usually only Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei drink it.

Also, when Ye Qi comes over, I drink a little, and when she leaves, I take a few bottles back to drink.

Li Le only tried it when he first brought it back, and never drank it again.

Although they didn’t bring back much, it was enough for Li Qingcheng and the others to drink, and there was even some left over.

“Qingcheng, Weiwei, you are here, come in quickly.” Mother Cheng put down the box and hurried over to greet them.

When Li Le came, she could do nothing and just treat him as her own child returning home, but it was different for Li Qingcheng and Nie Weiwei!

After all, I can’t treat them like Li Le, at least not now, because I’m not that familiar with them. (End of this chapter)
