Chapter 49 The 48th precious hairpin of Dr. Xiao

Dr. Xiao from Miaozhen Health Center is over 50 years old this year. Her home is not far from Maoshan where Tianming Temple is located. Whenever she is free, Dr. Xiao will make an appointment with several benefactors of similar age to come to the mountain together. Go around, and when you are tired, you will come to the temple to sit. Relatively speaking, I had more contact with Dr. Xiao in the temple, because Dr. Xiao would often chat with friends in the front yard of the temple. Most of them came near the evening, which was the time for Jiechen to clean up. When Dr. Xiao chats, he will chat with Jie Chen without a sentence, and Jie Chen will also make a few sentences without a sentence.

It should be said that Jie Chen likes to listen to Dr. Xiao's chats, because Dr. Xiao has rich experience, and the content of her conversations often makes Jie Chen feel very knowledgeable. Once, Dr. Xiao talked about a hairpin in her own home.This topic was originally the least interesting for Jie Chen, because Jie Chen has no hair, so when everyone chats on weekdays, if it involves combs, hair clips, hairpins, shampoos and other content, Jie Chen will automatically block it.But this time Jie Chen was unexpectedly concerned, because Dr. Xiao said that the hairpin was her grandma's dowry, and it was the most precious item in her family.

Jie Chen made some calculations. It is said that an object that is fifty years old can be regarded as an antique. According to Dr. Xiao, this hairpin is obviously far more than fifty years old. It should be an object from the beginning of the last century, absolutely. antique. Dr. Xiao roughly described the appearance of the hairpin. Obviously, the hairpin is not a shoddy object, and its texture and craftsmanship should be excellent. It is obvious that Jie Chen is not the only one who is interested in hairpins. The benefactor who chatted with Dr. Xiao also wanted to see the hairpins.However, Dr. Xiao said that the hairpin was placed on the bottom of the cabinet at home and had not been touched for many years. It was really troublesome to look at the hairpin.

When everyone was disappointed, Dr. Xiao said that she planned to do a thorough cleaning in another month, and would take out the hairpins if she had the opportunity.Of course, for the sake of safety, she may not bring the hairpin to the temple, but she can consider taking a few photos for everyone to enjoy together. What Dr. Xiao said made everyone look forward to it. Although there is still at least a month to see the hairpin, everyone thinks it is worth the wait. A month later, Dr. Xiao did not show the photo of the hairpin to everyone.In the end, several benefactors who were familiar with Dr. Xiao were anxious. During the party, a benefactor mentioned the topic of hairpins, but Dr. Xiao looked helpless.Everyone didn't know what happened. After questioning, the benefactor Xiao said that when cleaning, he found the box where the hairpin was kept, and when he opened it, he found that the hairpin was actually broken.

According to Dr. Xiao's recollection, the breakage of this hairpin should not have happened recently, because it was placed in a strong box and pressed to the bottom of the box for ten years.Dr. Xiao preliminarily calculated that the hairpin should have broken ten years ago. At that time, Dr. Xiao brought the hairpin from his hometown to the place where he lives now, and it may have been accidentally broken on the way. After listening to Dr. Xiao's narration, everyone felt very sad. Everyone was in a bad mood that afternoon, especially Dr. Xiao. When Dr. Xiao was sitting under the big tree and sighing, Jie An happened to be beside him, and Jie An suddenly thought, in fact, the moment when Dr. Xiao should sigh most is not today, but ten years ago when the hairpin broke.The reason why Dr. Xiao was not sad was because the hairpin that was actually broken was always intact in her heart.

Maybe that's the case, all the negative emotions we feel often do not come from the things themselves, but from our hearts.
