The dishes on the dining table were very rich, but they were all light and nutritious. What made Song Yi most touched was the caring care given to him by his grandmother. Seeing her as young as a teenager, a illusion of time and space like a changing world surged into her heart, it felt wonderful.

"Xiaoyi's illness is just right. I'll supplement more nutrition to deal with tomorrow's college entrance examination!" Grandma He Yufen said with a little blame, and kept picking up food in his bowl, "Eat more, you kid is really, you don't know how to take care of yourself at all!"

Song Yi smiled and accepted her kindness, and praised her for her deliciousness. It wasn't that he deliberately patted her. Grandma's cooking skills are indeed superb and the dishes she made are also extremely exquisite. He also enjoyed grandma's nagging, because since he moved out of the house, he rarely heard grandma's care.

"Xiaoyi is going to school to get familiar with the examination room in the afternoon!" grandma asked.

Song Yi nodded. He knew very well what it was like to be an elder and cared more about the college entrance examination than he himself.

"Let's go together in the afternoon!"

"Grandma, just rest at home. The sun is so big outside, I can go by myself." Song Yi shook his head quickly. Although he enjoyed his grandmother's spoiling, he was not a flower in the greenhouse. He couldn't bear it when he let his grandmother go out on a hot day.

He then added, "He Jian and the others agreed to go with me, but they don't have parents to accompany them. If grandma goes, I will definitely be under a lot of pressure."

Grandma blamed again, "You guys will know how crazy it is! If you have a high fever, it will delay the college entrance examination and see what you will do!"

Song Yi had to explain to her again and advised her not to go, which made him think of the scene in his previous life.

A few days before the college entrance examination, the school was on vacation. He and his friends went out to play in the heat of the summer. After returning, they had a high fever and never went down. They were dizzy when they went to the exam room later. Of course, they didn't have to mention that they couldn't enter the Donghai University in their dreams.

It was also at this time that my grandfather Song Shibao stepped down from the position of deputy director of Donghai Museum, and trained Song Yi as his successor and taught all his skills.

The frustrated Song Yi didn't want to go to the third-rate university, so he followed his grandfather to study. After that, the two of them went around to search for famous masters and inspected the ruins of famous kilns, which increased his knowledge and discovered many masters hidden among the people.

After Song Yi woke up, he kept thinking, if his grandfather retreated, would he still train him as his chosen successor? Should he have to walk the path he had taken in his previous life again?

He didn't care about learning his grandfather's skills again. For him, he wouldn't be too much of such knowledge. But the problem is that his grandfather is not only strict with himself, but also extremely strict with his juniors. He doesn't even allow him to go out and find a bargain. He doesn't want to make some money.

It was not until he passed all the tests of his grandfather that he could show his strength, but at that time there were very few opportunities left for him. For the gambling stones that he was most passionate about, in the end, the test of eyesight basically turned into a competition of financial resources. As for the same gambling stone, whoever pays more will be the one who will be the one who pays more. Song Yi felt quite regretful at that time. Now that he has the opportunity to start over, how can he be willing to tie his hands and feet and miss the golden time of development?

Thinking about it carefully, it was a bit strange for grandpa to retire. Logically speaking, at his age of 62, he could have retired a few years later. Could it be that there is another hidden truth? He was never naive to think that grandpa retired because he failed the college entrance examination, so he retired to comfort him. However, he was in a bad mood at that time and was not very clear about the reason. In addition, his family didn't want him to worry and didn't tell him the truth.

As for whether it was the reason for the internal conflict in the museum, Song Yi couldn't explain clearly.

But at this time, he couldn't help but think of the shocking scandal that broke out in the Donghai Museum in 2000. The museum managers stole it and lost thousands of cultural relics, including many first-class national cultural relics. This incident caused a sensation and became the focus of the interview. However, it involved too much. After finding a scapegoat to look at the warehouse, it was left alone.

It is a wise person who knows that the loss of cultural relics is definitely not a matter of one day or one night. With his grandfather's upright personality, it is impossible for him to use his power for personal gain, let alone engage in criminal activities such as stealing and selling national cultural relics. If his grandfather is in the museum, at least the cultural relics in the Jade Museum and the Porcelain Museum will not be stolen and sold. However, Song Yi has seen detailed reports on this scandal. Thousands of cultural relics lost involve various types of museums, and porcelain and jade are even more severely affected areas.

There is no need to mention the number of people involved in this incident. With grandpa's personality and style, he is definitely not tolerated among them. He is very likely to be excluded because of this.

Of course, Song Yi also knew that this was just his personal guess, and the actual situation still needs to be verified, but now we can take a look at the story from grandma.

After a little bit of brewing, he pretended to be unintentionally asked, "Grandma, have grandpa mentioned that he is going to retire recently?"

Grandma frowned slightly when she heard this, "Retire? Don't listen to the wind and rain."

Song Yi could not give up, and then asked, "Nothing happened in the museum recently!"

"Eat with peace of mind and prepare for the exam well. Don't worry about adults' affairs!" Grandma still had a kind expression, but she stopped him from continuing to talk.

Song Yi was determined to figure out the truth of the matter, so of course he wouldn't care so much, and continued, "Maybe I can help!"

"You have done a good grade in the college entrance examination and helped us the greatest benefit." Grandma just thought she was talking big, what could he help?

Song Yi was not discouraged, just knew that they would use this as an excuse. He was afraid of affecting his college entrance examination if he didn't tell him before! But looking at grandma's not easy expression, things didn't seem simple.

After dinner, he wanted to help clean up the dishes, but his grandmother waved her hand and drove her away. He went to the basement to continue fighting, striving to polish the jade Guanyin as soon as possible.

Song Yi first learned from his father Song Mingjie and learned a complete set of carving and polishing of nephrite. Later, when he went out to start the jade business, he asked several of the most famous masters with superb skills in the industry. He had a solid foundation and was willing to learn and practice it carefully. His skills improved very quickly. Later, the high-end jade he had bet on stone cutting was basically carved and polished by himself. People who bought his jade were praised by him. The skills he had worked hard in his previous life have never disappeared, and he was familiar with it at this moment.

But polishing jade is an art, a physical job, and it has an extremely complex process. After more than an hour of hard work, Song Yi barely finished the overall part of the entire piece of jade Guanyin, and the remaining subtle parts will take a long time to deal with.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard grandma's voice, "Xiao Yi, Baoqing and the others are here to call you!"

"Here you come!"

Song Yi immediately replied, stopping the work at the same time.

After polishing, it is not finished. It must be inlaid, otherwise it cannot be hung. Of course, it can also be drilled on it, but it will greatly affect the beauty and value of jade. Moreover, if the inlay is done well, it can better express the ultimate beauty of high-end jade.

I cleaned up the studio and put the jade away so that my grandfather and father would not see the clues. Otherwise, I would have to spend time explaining and I don’t know how to explain it.

After confirming that there were no omissions, Song Yi went up.
