Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Tan Rou returned to the country, she lived in a high-end villa area. There were a lot of things, and the driver helped to bring them to Tan Ron’s house.

Tan Rou watched as the two of them carried a pile of boxes and bags into the living room. “Oh my god, you bought too many.”

Tan Ming placed the things on the coffee table. “It’s not much. It’s been so many years since I’ve had the chance to send you New Year’s gifts.”

Tan Ming got the driver to return to the car and wait for her.

Tan Rou looked at the coffee table. Winter grass, summer grass, ginseng, gelatin, Lingzhi mushrooms, and various other precious herbs were spread all over the table.

Tan Ming pointed at the items and said, “I’ve taken the effort to find wild ones. Don’t you still have to go overseas after the New Year? You can’t buy these over there. Usually, when you make soup or drinks add an appropriate amount in. They’re all good things. They’re very nourishing!”

Tan Rou pulled Tan Ming to sit on the sofa and said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll definitely bring them over. Why didn’t you bring the children over today?”

Tan Ming sighed softly and felt a little helpless. “I originally wanted to bring them along. This morning, I realized that the two little fellows had been sneezing. The doctor said that they had caught a cold and had a low fever, so I didn’t dare to bring them out.”

Tan Rou poured a cup of honey water for Tan Ming and handed it over. “Indeed, there was no choice. There’s no hurry. Come, the winter weather is dry and cold. Drink a cup of honey water to hydrate. I’ve recently obtained two bottles of good honey. When you go back later, take one bottle.”

“By the way, I also made a meeting gift for the siblings. I originally wanted to give it to them in person today. Help me bring it back to them now.”

A new generation in the family was born. According to tradition, the elders would definitely express their gratitude. Tan Ming did not refuse and agreed with a smile. “Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Tan Rou took out two jewelry boxes from the cabinet at the side and placed them in Tan Ming’s hands.

Tan Ming took it and opened one of the larger boxes. Inside were two sets of longevity locks with gold and jade inlays. They were made using hand-forged techniques such as floral thread inlay and carving techniques.

Because they were boy-girl twins, Tan Rou specially made different styles.

The two longevity locks were in the shape of clouds, and the jade was embedded in gold. The only difference was that they had different patterns made of gold on the outside.

Jiang Yu’s one was in the style of a phoenix playing with a peony. The phoenix was made using a layering technique that made it vivid and lifelike. The peony flower was made using a carving technique. The complicated patterns were detailed. The meaning behind this pattern was to live a life of wealth and glory.

Jiang Yi’s one was in the auspicious style of the Qilin. The Qilin was a divine beast from ancient times. Around the Qilin were auspicious clouds made of weaving techniques. It meant that one would live a long life and their family would prosper.

Tan Ming looked at the luxurious, elegant, and well-defined longevity locks. She knew that her aunt must have spent a lot of time on these two works. This represented her heavy blessings to the two juniors.

As the baby’s grandparents in name, Tan Xiang and Wang Li had never even visited them, let alone given them gifts. Tan Ming smiled and looked at Tan Rou. “I’ll thank you on behalf of Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi first. I’ll bring them here to thank you in person during the new year.”

Tan Rou waved her hand nonchalantly and said gently, “As an elder, I don’t have anything valuable to give you. Only my crafting skills are not bad. The other one is for you. Open it and take a look.”

Tan Ming followed Tan Ron’s line of sight and shifted her gaze to the gift box that she had placed beside her. She opened it and saw a rectangular pendant that was half the size of her palm. It was a rich purple jade. It was warm, smooth, and glossy.

Occasionally, Tan Ming would talk to Jiang Zhen about the industrial situation in Xiyun. Now, she also had some knowledge about jade. She roughly estimated that if this pendant was placed on the market, it would definitely not be bought without two to three million yuan. She put the pendant back in the box and pushed it to Tan Rou. “Aunt, this is too expensive. I can’t take it.”

“If I’m not wrong, Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi’s longevity locks are made of top-grade Hetian suet jade. Those two gifts should be worth a lot. You don’t have much money on hand, and it’s not easy to find the jade you like. It’s wasted on me, leave them to carve other works.”

Tan Rou smiled and stuffed her hand into Tan Ming’s. “Take it. There’s an old saying that you can’t refuse gifts from elders. If you continue to push it around, you’ll be slapping my face.”

“Although I’m not particularly rich now, I’ve saved up a little over the years with my ability. I have channels where I can buy a lot of good materials at a low price. When I saw this piece of jade, I thought of you. Being an actor is your first official job after graduation. Take it as a good omen. I hope this pendant can protect you from danger and your career will be successful..”
