Novel Bin Chapter 67.3: Zheng Family Part 3
Lin Qingyin stood up and still put it on Grandmother Zheng: “I’m not giving you a jade, I am giving you a talisman I made.”
Zheng Guangyan busily said: “Mom, this is Qingyin’s filial piety to you. It proves that you didn’t care about her all these years in vain. This jade is indeed a talisman. Xu and I also wearing one.”
Grandmother Zheng felt that the jade in her chest was giving off a warm feeling, which relieved the sore muscles caused by working for so many years. Grandmother Zheng patted her waist and stretched her back with a surprised look on her face: “I feel like I am full of energy and I feel much more comfortable.”
Aunt Zheng laughed when she heard the words. She picked up the beans and said jokingly: “Mom, you are really funny. According to you, this jade is better to use than a panacea.”
Grandmother Zheng said: “It’s better than a panacea. Just wait and see, I’ll be designated as the youngest old lady in the village next year.”
The jade talisman was indeed useful, but its effect doubled because they were surrounded by mountains and rivers. The spiritual energy in the city was not that strong compared to here.
Lin Qingyin took out a handful of stones from her schoolbag and said, “I don’t have the money to give everyone jade talisman. So for the others, I can only give stone talisman.”
“We can have one too?” Aunt Zheng who had just walked to the kitchen came back in surprise: “The stone is good. To be honest, if you give auntie a jade, I wouldn’t dare to wear it!”
After that, Lin Qingyin asked Aunt Zheng’s birth date, then carved the formation on the stone. Aunt Zheng stood by and watched curiously, she saw the thin carving knife cutting the stone without any hindrance. In about 3 to 5 minutes, the stone was already engraved with lines. Lin Qingyin took a toothpick from the Kang table and stabbed the stone. Then, she put a red string through the stone. Lin Qingyin tied the end of the rope and handed it to Aunt Zheng.
Aunt Zheng took it and held the stone for a long time in surprise. No matter how she looked at it, it was an ordinary stone, so she couldn’t understand how did Lin Qingyin put a hole in it with a toothpick.
Aunt Zheng thanked Lin Qingyin cheerfully and put the stone on her neck: “Qingyin, what else do you want to eat at noon? Tell Auntie, Auntie will make it for you.”
Lin Qingyin smiled and said: “It’s okay, but I can eat a lot, so please make a little bit more.”
“No problem!” Aunt Zheng rolled up her sleeves: “Auntie will make you a table full of dishes today.”
While speaking, the two uncles and aunts also came. After saying hello, they rolled up their sleeves and started to work. Several of Lin Qingyin’s cousins were older than her. Some were already gone to work or vacation, while some go outside with their friends. Only Lin Qingyin came back.
Lin Qingyin sat cross-legged on the Kang while carving symbols and chatted with Grandmother Zheng. She picked a few interesting stories to tell the old lady. The two seemed to be very happy.
