Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 45 Amulet

Grandma Shen didn't keep persuading her, she just stood up. Shen Jiaojiao helped her take the crutches. She glanced at the photo on the bedside table, "...Jiaojiao, you are tired too, grandma won't bother you anymore...If you have anything to say, we can talk tomorrow."

Seeing Shen Jiaojiao frowning and looking depressed, Grandma Shen knew that it might not be possible to persuade her successfully in a short time. Instead of letting her granddaughter blame her or something, it would be better to let it go for now and try again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"I'm leaving. I'll show you tomorrow the gifts I brought you when I went out to play with your grandma Lu. It's too late today. You should go to bed early and don't think too much."

Shen Jiaojiao sent her grandmother back to the room. Aunt Xue came over to report that the physical therapist had arrived at the massage room and the young lady could go over now to have moxibustion and aromatherapy.

Shen Jiaojiao went to the massage room and finished everything. Not long after she returned to the bedroom, she received a call from Lu Shize. Just like the previous few days, they both briefly reported that they were safe.

"Well, I'll hang up now, uncle."

"Jiaojiao, shall we have a video chat?"

Shen Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously refused, "No, I'm very tired. I just finished aromatherapy and my whole body is..."

"Let's have a video, okay?"

The man's voice got louder.

He wanted to see her.

He knew that she was very busy. These days, every time Lu Shize contacted the oral teacher to inquire about the teaching progress, none of the three teachers failed to praise her, saying that the child had a good understanding and was willing to work hard. The environment was almost purely English every day... And he knew everything about the two managers' reports, the various materials they brought, some of Shen Jiaojiao's ideas, and what they had done.

This child is willing to work hard in both study and work...but he was thinking that she must have lost weight.

Before, there were times when he was busy and couldn't come back from business trips, but the two of them always kept in touch. But no matter it was text messages or phone calls, after just a few words, the little one would have to video chat, humming and being sticky. She always liked to tell him that she missed him, missed him very much, and wanted to see him.

Even after watching the video, the little one insisted on being told a story many times before she would obediently hug her two big rabbits to sleep.

"Jiaojiao..."

"No. Uncle, I'm hanging up."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't give herself time to hesitate. She quickly hung up the phone and turned it off. If the man called again, she would be completely unable to reach him.

video···

It's been a long time since I last saw her. Shen Jiaojiao actually wanted to see Lu Shize, and even if she dreamed of him, he would be mean to her, but it was clear that her uncle was not mean to her normally...

Shen Jiaojiao pressed the remote control, and light music filled the house.

She missed...him very much.

My hand scratched the pillow unconsciously, and then I remembered what my grandma said about transferring my household registration.

The next day, Shen Jiaojiao got up at around six o'clock. She hadn't slept well the previous night, and her eyes were badly swollen. She read for half an hour before going downstairs. The two grandmothers were a little older and didn't sleep much, so they had also gotten up earlier. When they saw her coming down, they hurriedly pulled her and said, "Hurry up, go see what we brought you back."

There were ethnic-style clothing and various jewelry. The clothes had already been washed and hung by the aunties. Most of the jewelry was sterling silver. "Try it on. Have you seen if you have allergies?"

Shen Jiaojiao's skin has always been delicate, so the two old people just took the jewelry and rubbed it on her wrist to make sure there was no redness or allergy before letting her try it on.

"Although the ones in the scenic area claim to be pure silver, we don't really believe it. But it looks really nice. Jiaojiao, look at the pattern. Let me tell you, this is a totem of their ethnic group. It can bring good luck to the wearer."

Fortunately, she had no allergies, so Shen Jiaojiao tried on the earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets one by one. She liked every one of them and thanked the two grandmothers. Aunt Xue helped her put them back into the box... Then the two grandmothers each handed her a small red cloth bag.

"What is this?", she asked curiously.

"There is a peace amulet inside, which we each asked for for you. Please put it away."

They also asked for one each for Lu Shize. Shen Jiaojiao took the gift, returned to the bedroom, walked to the cloakroom, pressed her fingerprint on the jewelry cabinet, opened one of the drawers, put all the jewelry in it, and only left two amulets, and asked Aunt Xue to help put them in the bag she usually carried when she went out.

In the morning, before half past nine, Shen Jiaojiao quickly changed into her going-out clothes. Without waiting for the two grandmothers to call her, she said, "Grandma, my classmate Fang Zhi and I are going shopping today. There is a newly opened perfume shop. I heard it's pretty good."

"But..." Grandma Shen looked at Grandma Lu as soon as she heard it.

Grandma Lu also came over and said, "Son, didn't your uncle tell you that we should have lunch together at noon? He..."
