Chapter 13: A Pair of Old Children

"How about my apprentice, transfer to your sculpture department, you have taken a big advantage!" Yang Mingde smiled proudly when he saw the surprised appearance of the old lady.

Regarding Yang Mingde's style, Zhang Junping was not surprised at all.

Yang Mingde is not a top calligraphy and painting master in China, a master of wood art, but his personality is very easy-going and reckless.

is over 60 years old, and still maintains a childlike innocence.

In Zhang Junping's memory, when Yang Mingde joined the queue, he was very popular with the villagers, especially the children.

No matter how old a child is, whether it is a boy or a girl, he can play with him.

And mud, mud cannons!

Treasure (the name varies across the country, but the rules are basically the same – one side knocks over the other's cards with cardboard and wins.) )!

Bounce yo-yo!

Yang Mingde didn't fall behind, and he was very involved in playing with the children.

Often, toys made of wood are exchanged for monkeys, grasshoppers, and small fish and shrimp from children.

"Boy, what do you call me?"

"Grandma Liu!"

"Hey!

Scream again!" the old lady agreed, and Le's eyebrows narrowed.

"Grandma Liu!"

"Hey, scream again!" the old lady happily agreed, and asked Zhang Junping to continue calling.

"Grandma Liu!" Zhang Junping didn't know why, so he had to call again.

"Hey!

Boy, you have to remember that master and apprentice are like father and son, and you must honor your master well in the future!" the old lady squinted with a smile and explained to Zhang Junping.

β€œ.........”

Only then did Zhang Junping react, the old lady was changing the law to take advantage of Yang Mingde.

Speechless, he shook his head secretly, old child, old child, what he said was not wrong at all.

Yang Mingde is like this, and so is the old lady.

In the eyes of outsiders, both of them are highly respected artists, but in front of familiar people, they are old children.

Bickering, arguing, angry, stumbling on each other......

Over there, Yang Mingde also reacted, his face turned red with anger, and he pointed at the old lady and said, "The surname is Liu, are you interesting? Such a big person, taking advantage of this kind of advantage, it's really naΓ―ve!"

"I'm happy, I'm happy!

Boy, call Grandma Liu again!" the old lady raised her chin proudly and said provocatively to Yang Mingde.

β€œ.........”

Zhang Junping was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to eat melons, and actually put himself in.

If this is usual, you can call it however you want, but this time, if you dare to call it, Yang Mingde will dare to clean up the portal.

But if she doesn't call it, the old lady can't explain it.

"What's the matter, with Master, you don't recognize me as a grandmother?" Sure enough, the old lady was not happy.

was so anxious that Zhang Junping's forehead was sweating.

Suddenly, Zhang Junping had an idea, pounced, and fell to his knees.

"Master, you don't mind if I worship one more Master, do you?

Grandma Liu, you see, you shouldn't mind accepting a handsome, smart and diligent good apprentice, right?"

Yang Mingde and the old lady were both shocked by Zhang Junping's sudden commotion.

Zhang Junping didn't care about the reaction of the two, and then said: "Since your second elder doesn't object, it's agreed!"

As he spoke, he got up, took a cup of tea, walked in front of Yang Mingde, knelt down and handed the tea to Yang Mingde with both hands, "Master, you drink tea!"

Yang Mingde subconsciously took the tea.

Zhang Junping also took care of other things, then took another cup of tea, walked to the old lady and knelt down, and offered tea with both hands, "Master, you drink tea!"

Yang Mingde and the old lady were both laughed at Zhang Junping's actions.

I have seen those who forcibly take in apprentices, but I have never seen those who have forcibly apprenticed.

"Slippery little thing!" the old lady took the teacup, stretched out her hand and gave Zhang Junping a brain meltdown, and scolded with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll invite the two masters to a big dinner!"

"Haha, boy, where are you going to invite us to a big dinner?" Yang Mingde and the old lady looked at each other and asked with a laugh.

"Go...... How about a roast duck at a bargain?"

"How much money do you have, boy?"

"More than twelve yuan, it should be enough to eat!" Zhang Junping said after thinking about it.

"It's enough to eat, twelve yuan, it's enough to go to Donglaishun!" Yang Mingde smiled and nodded.

"Two masters, let's go quickly! It's too late, but there will be no land!" Zhang Junping opened his mouth to urge.

"Alright, just stay honest!

In my place, you can't eat without it!

There is also a cheap roast duck you want to eat!" The old lady stopped Zhang Junping with a smile and turned around and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, he walked out with two plates, "Boy, don't go wash it quickly, look at you dirty, like a mud monkey!"

"Hey, let's go!" Zhang Junping agreed, and hurried back to the house to get a change of clothes.

It's not good to repair old furniture, it's too costly.

This dress, at the end of the day, basically turns black.

When Zhang Junping came out of the shower, the old lady had already prepared the meal.

It was placed on a stone table in the courtyard.

The meal is very simple, four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetables, plus a roast duck.

Such a meal, in the future generations, is definitely a simple home-cooked meal or a working meal.

But in this era, in this era when everything has to be bought with a ticket, this is a very hearty meal.

It should be specially prepared by the old lady to entertain Yang Mingde.

After all, according to the old lady's plan, it was to persuade Yang Mingde to let Zhang Junping transfer to the sculpture department.

Naturally, I want to entertain you.

As a result, who knows how it will evolve into what it is now.

Zhang Junping has two more masters, and they have one more common apprentice.

The old lady took out another bottle of sunflower Moutai, "Old thing, I know you like to drink Moutai, and I specially prepared it for you!"

"Haha! You still know me!" Seeing Moutai, Yang Mingde was overjoyed.

In his memory, Yang Mingde likes to drink, and when he cut the line, the work he earned and the furniture he made were all replaced by wine.

Yang Mingde likes to drink, but he is not greedy for wine, and he only drinks one or two or two for a meal, which belongs to two drinks.

After a glass of wine, Yang Mingde sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect that I taught so many carpenter apprentices in Jiahe Village, and none of them were promising.

As a result, those who learned to draw with me secretly learned my woodwork!"

"It can be seen that a high level of skill does not mean a high level of teaching, and a high status does not mean a good vision!" The old lady was tired of attacking Yang Mingde.

The two men had a deep revolutionary friendship since before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so no one cares anything about what is deep and shallow.

"Master, in fact, we in the village are very grateful to you!

You have given our village and trained so many carpenters!

Our village is now a well-known carpenter's village!

All the surrounding villages that make furniture will go to our village to invite people!" Zhang Junping didn't understand the relationship between the two people, and was afraid that Yang Mingde would be embarrassed, so he hurriedly defended him.

"No, don't say I taught them.

Again, they can be called carpenters? They're just carpenters!

Craftsman, this word doesn't mean that everyone is qualified to use it!" Yang Mingde didn't appreciate it at all, and directly vetoed it.
