Meng Zhu had a disapproving look on her face. With a lollipop in her mouth, she snorted at Yue Ping. “If you want to find the little red flag, go find it yourself. Why do you want me to help you get it? You’ve been ordering me along the way. Do you really think I’m a fool?”
“You!” Yue Ping flew into a rage out of humiliation. She wanted to go forward and argue with Meng Zhu, but Yue Ze hurriedly stopped her.
“Alright, stop fooling around. The competition has already ended. Let’s go back early so that Grandpa Fang won’t worry.”
Yuan Xiao also walked to Meng Zhu’s side. Just as she was about to comfort her, she noticed Meng Zhu secretly winking at her.
It turned out that this little girl was deliberately angering Yue Ping.
When the group returned to the Fang family home, Old Master Fang watched the entire process of the children climbing the mountain on the display screen.
“Young lady, you’re smart and persistent.” Grandpa Fang looked at Yuan Xiao with admiration. The smile on his face was especially benevolent. “Come and pick a prize with me. This is what you deserve.”
Yuan Xiao glanced at Fang Yao beside her and followed Grandpa Fang into the study in confusion.
“Xiao Xiao, come and take a look at my collection. Is there anyone you like? Pick one.” Grandpa Fang enthusiastically showed Yuan Xiao his collection.
Yuan Xiao looked at the dazzling collection in the study. There were calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, jade, and all kinds of handicrafts and jewelry.
“Grandpa Fang, your collection is so beautiful.”
When Grandpa Fang heard Yuan Xiao’s praise, he proudly displayed his collection. “I’ve searched everywhere for these. Some were given to me by my friends, and some were obtained from auctions. Take a look and see what you like.”
In fact, Yuan Xiao did not know much about these collections, but her gaze was attracted by a calligraphy work on the wall.
It was a calligraphy work that wrote the words ‘The Heavenly Dao rewards diligence’. The writing power of this work was thick, and the words were bold and powerful. It could be seen that the author’s foundation was deep.
Yuan Xiao looked at the four words on the wall and felt that the meaning was very good. It was just right to hang it in the living room for the study group.
“Grandpa, this calligraphy is so beautiful. Can you give it to me as a reward?” Yuan Xiao pointed at the calligraphy work on the wall. When Grandpa Fang saw where she was pointing, he said excitedly, “Xiao Xiao, do you really like this calligraphy?”
“I like it. Although I don’t know much about calligraphy, the words are written very freely, and the meaning is very good.” Yuan Xiao nodded. Compared to those exquisite and expensive works of art, Yuan Xiao felt that this calligraphy was more suitable for her.
“Alright, little girl, you have good taste.” Grandpa Fang smiled and gestured for Fang Ming to take down the calligraphy.
“This is the calligraphy I wrote last year. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
Grandpa Fang gave the calligraphy to Yuan Xiao heartily and said to her, “However, you still have to choose the prize. This calligraphy is not worth much and has no collector’s value. Take it as a gift from Grandpa.”
Yuan Xiao did not expect this calligraphy piece to be written by Grandpa Fang. “No need, Grandpa Fang. This piece of calligraphy is enough. I like it very much.”
Grandfather Fang was a little surprised to see Yuan Xiao reject him. “Aren’t you going to choose some jewelry that you like?”
Grandpa Fang took out an exquisitely carved wooden box from the bookshelf and opened it to Yuan Xiao. “This is a jade bangle I bought at a charity auction overseas. I wanted to give it to Fang Ming’s mother, but it’s a little small. I’ll give it to you.”
Yue Ping looked enviously at the jade bangle in Grandpa Fang’s hand. Judging from the quality of the bracelet, it should be high-quality Myanmar jade. Yue Ping felt that Grandpa Fang was a little biased. Most of the competitions in the past were for fun, so even if they won, they would not choose any particularly expensive prizes.
However, the prize that Grandpa Fang gave Yuan Xiao looked expensive. Yue Ping felt that Yuan Xiao was not worthy of wearing such a good bangle.
“There’s no need, Grandpa Fang. I really like this calligraphy piece.” Yuan Xiao could tell the value of the jade bangle in the old man’s hand and hurriedly rejected it. “Although this bracelet is bangle, it’s not as touching as this calligraphy piece.”
Fang Yao hoped that Yuan Xiao would accept this gift. He could tell that his grandfather had a good impression of Yuan Xiao.
“You really don’t want it?” Grandpa Fang was a little surprised. Even if Yuan
Xiao was young, she should not be so indifferent to these expensive jewelry.
“There’s really no need. Thank you, Grandpa.” Yuan Xiao had an innocent and bright smile on her face. She really did not want to accept such an expensive gift.
Grandpa Fang admired this smart little girl more and more. Not only was she good at chess, but she was also open-minded, which was rare for ordinary people. She was a good child with outstanding character and ability..
