Spring River Chasing the Moon

"Mom and Dad..." After Chen Lili knew that Luo Zhong had recognized Nanzhou Yue and the others and changed his way of addressing them, she also changed her way of addressing them. However, she still felt a little uncomfortable every time.

"When we met before, as a junior, I didn't prepare anything. I was so rude. I have some free time these past two days, so Youyou and I prepared these together. I hope you like them."

As he spoke, Chen Lili took out a long gift box and handed it to Nanzhou Yue, "Dad, this was painted by Youyou himself. It's for you."

Nanzhou Yue's eyes were full of surprise. He knew that Luo Youyou was learning Chinese painting from Chen Ze. He didn't expect that his little granddaughter would paint a picture for him with her own hands. He couldn't wait to open the scroll and was instantly attracted by the scenery in the painting.

The painting was actually of Sijing Town. Because Luo Youyou completed it in his studio by himself, even Chen Ze had not seen what was in the painting in advance. Everyone was amazed by the scenery in the painting, especially the Nan family, because they knew too well the special significance of Sijing Town to Nanzhou Yue.

This was the place Nanzhou Yue had looked forward to when he was young. A few years after he returned to Nancheng, Sijing Town was destroyed by natural disasters. The current Sijing Town is almost the same as it was after the disaster reconstruction. It is no longer the town in Nanzhou Yue’s memory, but in the painting, it is clearly the Sijing that Nanzhou Yue is familiar with.

Nanzhou Yue was greatly shocked. He looked at the plants and trees in the painting in disbelief, as if time had gone back to the past.

Looking at Nanzhou Yue's happy expression, Luo Youyou was extremely grateful that he had the memories of his previous life.

She had seen many AI restoration processes on the Internet to illustrate the appearance of Sijing before the natural disaster, and she had also practiced repeatedly in her sketchbook, from the town's original appearance to its post-disaster reconstruction.

Because this town appeared as a topic in their final exam, in order to get the scholarship, she really tried her best to investigate various materials, and she didn't expect to use it today.

Upon learning that Nanzhou Yue had first served in the army in Sijing, Luo Youyou thought of giving him a painting like this.

Nanzhou Yue looked at the painting silently, his eyes moist. His comrades-in-arms back then have all changed and there are only a few left in Nancheng.

He thought that he would never have the chance to see the splendor of Sijing in the past, but he didn't expect Luo Youyou to give him such a big surprise.

"Yes, how do you know this place?"

Nanzhou Yue didn't know what to ask. He found it unbelievable. Luo Youyou was so old and had never even been to Sijing. How could he draw the town of that time?

Luo Youyou had already thought of an excuse and spoke slowly, "I heard about this before in Haicheng at my neighbor's grandmother's house. She even drew pictures of these places for you. I heard that grandpa liked this place, so I drew it. I wonder if grandpa likes it?"

"Thank you, Grandpa... Grandpa likes this painting very much."

Nanzhou Yue didn’t think too much about it, he just felt very surprised and touched.

He held the painting carefully and looked at the details carefully, finding that every place was expressed very delicately. He was surprised to realize that his little granddaughter had an extraordinary talent in painting.

"Professor Chen, how long have you been learning to paint?"

Nanzhou Yue asked Chen Ze.

Chen Ze stood aside, watching Luo Youyou with a proud look on his face. "This child has only started learning in the last two months. She has talent, but she still needs to keep working hard."

Chen Ze didn't want Luo Youyou to be too complacent, so he kept telling her to work hard, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This time, the Nan family was even more surprised. They didn't expect that Luo Youyou had this ability. They looked at Luo Youyou with admiration and love in their eyes.

Chen Lili was also very happy. Her daughter was indeed very outstanding. Then she took out the remaining gifts.

She had spent a long time picking with Luo Youyou these past two days, but she had no idea what the Nan family liked.

So she went to Chen Youyou's jewelry company and asked him if he knew about the Nan family or if he had any good jewelry recommendations.

Chen Youyou's company had just recently designed a set of jewelry with family as the theme and had just made the actual products. Seeing that Chen Lili couldn't choose anything in the exhibition hall, he took her to his office and took out the "Sincerity" set.

This was Chen Caier's recent sudden inspiration. Using pearls as the main element, she designed a necklace, a ring, a pair of earrings, and a brooch.

She named this set "Sincerity" because she felt that no matter what changes in the world, the sincerity of family members will never change.

After the actual product was made, Chen Caier didn't want to mass-produce it anymore, feeling reluctant to do so, so she thought of making a few sets and giving them to her family.

As Chen Lili listened to Chen Youyou telling the story of the jewelry set, she thought of what Luo Youyou said, "The most meaningful gifts are those made with your own heart and soul."

She asked Chen Youyou if she could make the jewelry herself.

Although Chen Youyou's company has never arranged for customers to do it themselves, he will definitely meet his sister's request.

In fact, the production process is not complicated, because Chen Youyou’s company has all kinds of materials, and he also found a master craftsman from the company to teach Chen Lili.

After Chen Lili expressed her idea, the master craftsman guided her step by step.

After more than ten hours, it was already early morning, and Chen Lili finally produced a work that satisfied her.

"Mom, this is a brooch I made myself. I hope you like it."

The brooch is in the shape of a snowflake, which Chen Lili feels is particularly suitable for the feeling that Zhu Yuying gives people, crystal clear, beautiful and pure.

"But this is my first time doing it. Thanks to the help of the master, I can achieve such results. Please don't mind."

Chen Lili told the truth that if it weren't for the help of the master craftsman from Chen Youyou's company, she wouldn't be able to do it even if she was given three more days.

Zhu Yuying didn't mind at all. She picked up the brooch and held it in her hand, unable to let it go.

"You are thoughtful, kid."

As she spoke, she put the brooch on her chest. It happened that Zhu Yuying was wearing a dark green dress today, and the brooch was the perfect embellishment on it.

Chen Lili took out the gifts for Nan Qingqing's family and Nan Youmin's family.

"I didn't know what you all liked, so I just picked out some items as a little token of my appreciation."

The two families sat together for a rare occasion, opening gifts and chatting about family matters.

"Brother, I have something to trouble you."

Chen Lili thought of what she had promised Luo Youyou and said to Nan Youmin.

"When you go to Haicheng, could you please look for the Luo family's neighbors? They only have their granddaughter and grandmother at home all year round. The child there has a playmate who has been playing with her since childhood. There is still some time left during the holidays, and we want to bring her to Nancheng to live for a while. If she is willing to come, could you please bring her over?"

Nan Youmin nodded. This was just a small matter to him.

Seeing that he agreed, Luo Youyou also walked up to Nan Youmin, tugged at his sleeve and said.

"Uncle, you have to tell Xiaomei that I miss her very, very much."

Luo Youyou's round eyes softened Nan Youmin's heart. He smiled and pinched Luo Youyou's little face, "Okay, uncle got it."

Chen Lili looked at Luo Youyou's serious face and smiled.

"Here's some information about the child. Please come over, big brother."

Speaking of returning to Haicheng, Li Muzhi took Zhu Yuying's hand, and the two sat on the rattan chair at the door. Li Muzhi asked softly about Nan Younian's arrangements.

Zhu Yuying sighed, "Since that day, although the child still behaves the same on the surface, he still has resentment in his heart. He has packed his luggage these days and is preparing to go to Haicheng."

"Does he really intend to go back there?" Li Muzhi didn't quite believe it. After all, the Luo family was not a little bit inferior to the Nan family.

Zhu Yuying was silent for a while. In fact, her whole family knew very well that Nan Younian might really want to go back to Haicheng now, but if he really went back, no one could guarantee whether the huge gap in life would change his mind, especially since he had a wife who was reluctant to go.
