The kestrel eats very quickly and finished a mouse in no time.
Originally, he wanted to interact with Du Ruo again, but was driven away by Du Ruo because Du Ruo's shoulders were in a mess.
Seeing Hong Xun returning to the house after eating and drinking, Du Ruo took off his clothes and crumpled them into a ball.
Fortunately, because it was winter, Du Ruo wore a single piece of clothing inside to avoid attracting attention, otherwise it would be quite troublesome.
"Let's go, do you want me to be carried in your arms or on your back?"
Du Ruo thought that Xiang Yuanyuan would be disgusted by the blood on her clothes and would choose to hug her, but in fact, there were some blood stains on her inner clothes as well, but it was not so obvious.
"Hey, I have to carry you on my back. I want to experience flying this time."
They were just mice. Xiang Yuanyuan was not afraid of them, especially those from the mountains. That was because she didn't drink much now. Otherwise, if they were dried into jerky, she could eat several of them in one meal.
"Okay, okay, then come on up quickly. This time I'll show you something exciting."
Du Ruo half-knelt and waited for Xiang Yuanyuan to return to his back.
Without any warning, he took a step forward and walked straight down the stone wall.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
The sudden and intense feeling of weightlessness made Xiang Yuanyuan exclaim in surprise.
But before his body fell, while still in mid-air, Du Ruo stomped his feet and kicked the stone wall. Then, he flew past with Xiang Yuanyuan on his back.
It always feels like the time it takes to go back is much faster than the time it takes to go there. Before long, the two of them were back in the village.
Du Ruo went to the bathroom as soon as she got home, intending to take a shower and change her clothes.
Xiang Yuanyuan went to the front desk of the B&B to pick up the express delivery, which contained not only some of Du Ruo's clothes, but also some small things that would be needed to decorate the new home in the future, and some medicinal liquor sent by her mother.
When Du Ruo came out of the shower, he saw the two of them sitting in the living room, and Xiang Yuanyuan was making tea.
"Doo!"
Seeing Du Ruo appear in the living room, Brother Quan quickly stood up from his seat and shouted.
"Come on, sit down~"
Du Ruo was not surprised at all to see Brother Quan, but she did not expect that he would come so early.
"Hehe, I've done what Brother Du asked me to do. This time I came here to..."
Brother Quan just opened his mouth but was interrupted by Du Ruo.
"Don't worry, have some tea."
"Come, have some tea~"
Before Brother Quan finished speaking, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan said something in unison. Du Ruo glanced at Xiang Yuanyuan and without thinking much, motioned for the other party to sit down and have tea.
"Oh~~ Hehe, okay, let's have some tea first."
Brother Quan seemed to have thought of something at this time. He touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and then pulled his cousin to sit down.
"You guys can chat. I'm going to go take a look at the new house. Brother Quan will stay for dinner later. I'll go to mom's house to pick some fresh vegetables."
Xiang Yuanyuan smiled and saw the expression on Brother Quan's face just now, but she didn't care and didn't think there was anything shameful between the two of them.
She was extremely confident in Du Ruo. She let her manage all of Du Ruo's money and often gave her her cell phone.
Besides, Li Qiyao was like that at that time, but Du Ruo was completely unmoved, so what was there to worry about?
You have to know that that is the gentle and affectionate Li Qiyao, whose lethality to men is self-evident, so what is there for her to worry about?
"Well, it's cold outside, wear more clothes."
After Xiang Yuanyuan got up, Du Ruo took over from her and continued to make tea.
Xiang Yuanyuan put on an extra piece of clothing and even a scarf, then took the car keys and went out.
"Brother Du, I have accomplished your mission. I have bought this, and I have also found the best craftsman to process it according to your requirements."
After Xiang Yuanyuan left, Brother Quan took out a small paper bag and placed it in front of Du Ruo.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. As for the money, I'll ask my wife to transfer it to you in a couple of days."
When Du Ruo saw the small bag, a smile appeared on his face. After saying something, he took the bag and took out a box from it.
"Hey, it's free, just consider it as a wedding gift from me to Brother Du."
Brother Quan waved his hands repeatedly and refused to take any money, even though he felt a little painful about the things Du Ruo asked him to shoot.
But after this period of experience, he realized how right it was for him to hold on to the big tree of Duruo. It was worth spending some money to get closer to him.
"You still have to pay for the ring yourself, so you don't have to refuse."
Du Ruo smiled and reached out to open the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was a ring with a gold base and a huge red gem inlaid on it.
Although she had never asked for anything when she was with Xiang Yuanyuan, it was precisely because of this that Du Ruo had always wanted to give Xiang Yuanyuan a more expensive gift. Otherwise, he would always feel that he had treated Xiang Yuanyuan unfairly. In addition, he was not short of money now, and there were only a series of numbers left in his bank card, so he might as well take this opportunity to buy a gift.
The only person Du Ruo knew who was related to this matter was Brother Quan, and he happened to have connections with many auction houses.
Du Ruo asked him to inquire about it, and finally took a fancy to this gem, so he asked Brother Quan to take a picture of it and asked him to help find someone to process it, so this ruby ring was made.
Du Ruo has never been very interested in diamonds and the like, and trusts gold and gems more. This is also the main reason why he asked Brother Quan for help this time.
"I don't know, is Brother Du satisfied with this?"
Brother Quan paid attention to the changes in Du Ruo's expression. When he saw a smile on his face, he felt relieved.
"Well, I'm very satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."
Du Ruo held the jewel ring in her hand, thinking about how Xiang Yuanyuan would look when she was wearing a red dress and the ring, and she felt quite satisfied.
"That's good. Hehe, I think a ring alone seems a bit monotonous. The auction house happened to have a batch of smaller gemstones, so I took the initiative to buy them all and made some necklaces and earrings. Brother Du, take a look."
When Brother Quan saw Du Ruo nod, he immediately took out another box and pushed it in front of Du Ruo. This box was a little bigger.
"Oh? That's thoughtful. Thank you."
Du Ruo opened the large wooden box, revealing a whole set of jewellery inside. It was full of jewels and sparkled exceptionally. Most importantly, although the gems inlaid on these accessories were slightly inferior, the overall combination was exceptionally harmonious.
"These are just small matters. As long as Brother Du is satisfied, that's all."
Brother Quan smiled, finally feeling relieved, but in fact he was still a little nervous.
In order to speed up the work, they did not hire any international designers, but instead invited traditional craftsmen to create it. Most importantly, the other party suggested that this best gem was actually more suitable for making necklaces.
Just thinking of the special meaning of the ring, he finally used it to create the ring. In order to make up for the monotony, he made a full set of jewelry.
It can be said that he is really trying to get Du Ruo's matter done.
Du Ruo didn't care much about jewelry at first, she only took it into consideration because she wanted to give Xiang Yuanyuan a gift, but she was still amazed when she saw this complete set of jewelry.
"Wait a moment, I'll put the things away first, you guys have some tea."
He closed the two boxes, poured more tea for them, and then took the boxes to the room.
As a gift, it would of course be better to have some sense of ceremony, so it’s better not to take it out yet.
After a while, Du Ruo came back.
"How's your livestream going lately? Is anyone giving you any trouble now?"
Returning to the tea table, Du Ruo asked about Brother Quan's recent affairs.
After all, you have just asked someone to do something for you, so you have to have a chat and make the relationship closer. What's more, he also has shares in the company, so it's always a good idea to have a better relationship with him.
"The live broadcast is very good, and the number of fans is still increasing. As for those who caused trouble, they have all disappeared."
When it comes to this, Brother Quan's smile deepened, and he couldn't help but move his butt and move his body closer while speaking.
“Not only that, the platform’s attitude has also improved a lot, and the control over the scale has also been slightly looser.
Most importantly, many provinces have publicly expressed their support for me recently, and many regions have specially invited me to record programs and promote some traditional culture. "
The more Brother Quan spoke, the more excited he became. If it were just the disappearance of the people who slandered him, or even the traffic support from the platform, it wouldn’t be enough to make him so excited.
What excites him is the support from his hometown and the invitation to participate in the promotion of traditional culture.
For him, this is a transformation of identity.
He himself has publicly stated more than once or twice that no matter how many fans he has or how much money he makes, he will still be disliked by his parents when he goes back home for the Chinese New Year.
But things were different when he went back home for the Chinese New Year last year. For the first time, his mother praised him in front of relatives and friends, and even played the provincial TV station's praises of him on a loop.
Although the scene was a bit awkward, it was the first time he enjoyed such treatment.
This also made him stand up straighter during the New Year.
At the same time, he felt fortunate that he had taken the initiative to make friends with Du Ruo. Fortunately, he made the right bet.
So after buying the gemstone, the jewelry was made immediately and then delivered immediately.
"That's great. If anything happens, you can call me or contact your sister-in-law directly."
After listening to this, Du Ruo refilled Brother Quan's tea. His favorable impression of Brother Quan also increased a lot because of this incident.
The two of them continued drinking tea and chatting. After all, Brother Quan was a professional treasure appraiser. Although his best knowledge was about coins, he also dabbled in a lot of other antiques.
Just through the conversation with Du Ruo, Du Ruo also learned a lot.
Du Ruo is not the kind of person who is too ambitious. He knows that he has only made some achievements in personal martial arts, and this is only possible thanks to the system that can add points.
If he leaves the system behind, he might still be struggling to find a job to support himself, or return to his hometown and become a salted fish.
Therefore, he admires people like Brother Quan who rely on their own knowledge to grow. (End of this chapter)
