Chapter 252: People Are Like Rainbows
I'm going to get busy, you eat. β
When Brother Nan left, he also put his hand on the top of Zhou Li's head and touched it, as his head gradually grew, he didn't feel as good as before: "When will I cut my hair again, it may not be long before it will heat up." β
Zhou Li only ate noodles silently and did not say a word.
Brother Nan is so unfair, if Zhou Li touches her hair, she will beat Zhou Li, and she can touch Zhou Li casually.
Woman!
After eating, when he went home, Zhou Li took the express by the way.
A few days ago, he bought a set of carving knives and a set of hand-carving tutorials from scratch from the Internet, and after reading it, he thought it was good, so he bought some wood for novice practice, sour basswood, etc., and prepared to try it at home according to the video tutorial these days.
He is really too lazy to find a master in reality, and he is afraid that he will be scolded for being stupid.
It just so happens that the epidemic is boring, so you should cultivate a hobby.
If not, forget it - only if you really work hard, you can know the happiness of giving up.
The carving knife and wood were very heavy, and even the dumplings were very intimate and walked by themselves, and they didn't let him hold them again. As soon as he got home, Zhou Li excitedly took out the wood and practiced against the video.
It's best to start with a few gadgets with simple lines and outlines.
Spoons, leaves, cups, and lotus pods are all good choices, and there is no technology to speak of, so you can start carving directly.
A sense of accomplishment can be cultivated appropriately.
If you practice deeply, you can learn roses, lotus, cartoon images and other lines with more complex lines.
The tutorial begins with the example of leaves.
Zhou Li asked Huaixu to help him pick a leaf outside, compare the outline of the leaf, ignore the serrations on the edge, first draw the outline on the paper, and then print it on the wood, and then use a wire saw to see it down.
Then trim and polish.
When the leaf outline comes out, dig out the depression and carve out the vein,
It's a very patient process.
Fortunately, the precautions are clearly explained in the video, such as not sticking to the line when sawing, leaving a little room for error, such as not trimming the petiole first, so as not to break it......
The wood is very soft, the carving knife is very fast, and with a slight force, you can hear the sound of sand, and the sawdust will fall.
The process has a wonderful sense of coolness.
Two monsters, one big and one small, watched from the side, one thought it was very fun, and the other thought the process was really magical.
A piece of wood gradually turns into a three-dimensional, slightly concave leaf, like a miniature plate, even if it can only be placed on the table as a decoration, there is a literary style.
"How is it?" Zhou Li asked, because it was too simple, once he succeeded, he only felt a sense of accomplishment.
"Give Dango-sama Kangkang!"
"It looks like it's fun, give me something to play with. "Huai Xu has long seen itchy hands.
"It's fun. β
Zhou Li handed the carved leaves to Tuanzi, and tried to get a compliment from Huaixu: "How did I carve it?"
Huai Xu said very pertinently: "General." β
Zhou Li: ......
At this time, Huai Xu had already picked up a pen and another piece of wood, and his painting skills were already stronger than Zhou Li, who had been taught. So he didn't use paper, he just drew the outline of the leaves on the wood and attached a wire saw.
The hand is as steady as a machine, and there is no mistake at all.
Then he moved quickly, slashing like a god, and for a moment there was a rustling sound, and the outline of the leaves gradually appeared between the sawdust flying.
Just ten minutes laterβ
A more delicate, better-looking, and more artistic leaf than Zhou Li's carving has appeared!
"Whoa!"
Huai Xu looked at Zhou Li.
Zhou Li didn't look, he looked out the window.
"Whoa!"
Huai Xu handed the leaf to him: "Do you see that my carving is better than yours? β
Zhou Li looked away, still resolutely not looking.
"Whoa!"
Huai Xu persevered and continued to show him.
This old monster is poisonous.
In contrast, after only two glances, he was no longer interested in his carved product, and the dango was much more cute.
Zhou Li silently took the carving knife back from his hand and decided to forget about the events of the first ten minutes. He reopened the tutorial, intending to carve a few spoons for the rest of the day. The practical value of the spoon is higher.
"Play your game, don't use my knife anymore. Zhou Li was afraid that he would be blunt, "I want to buy it myself." β
"Shh
March 20th, vernal equinox, Friday.
It had been raining during the day today, but by mid-afternoon it had cleared up, and there was still sunshine. The air is moist and refreshing after the rain.
Zhou Li and Brother Nan walked around Wanda together, and walked slowly along the river from the direction of the city government.
Just after four o'clock, they sat down in chairs by the river and each pulled out their mobile phones β there was a gym class in the afternoon.
Online classes.
The content is that boys do push-ups, girls do squats, and there are general burpees, and they take videos and send them to the teacher in the group. Although I don't have to spend time gathering at the playground, to be honest, the amount of exercise is much higher than usual, which exposes the physical fitness of many people.
Zhou Li and Brother Nan did it on the riverside, took pictures of each other, posted them to the group, and then watched the videos posted by everyone.
"This person is so deformed that Kukukuku......"
"Look at your cousin! I'm almost tired haha!"
"Wow this ......"
Brother Nan watched a big-breasted girl do burpees, maybe the big-breasted girl was already hot up, wearing single clothes, she just opened her mouth and looked energetic, suddenly realized something, quickly turned off the video, and turned her head to look at Zhou Li seriously.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhou Li showed her the screen.
She leaned in.
Because of their appearance, Zhou Li and Brother Nan have always been the focus of everyone's attention in the group, so not long after the video was released, someone had already pointed out that the background of the two of them was in the same place, and even the physical education teacher also posted an expression.
Zhou Li's face was a little hot, and he secretly observed Brother Nan's reaction.
I saw Brother Nan patting him on the shoulder generously, and said very calmly: "Don't pay attention to them, the physical education class itself is to be outdoors, isn't it natural for two classmates to go to class together?"
After a pause, she said again: "I don't think they are used to it, and when we go together, they will see too much, and they will get used to it!"
Zhou Li nodded, feeling that she was right.
The two of them continued to get up and walked forward.
The number of confirmed cases in Yancheng has been cleared for a week, and now there are a lot more people by the river, and square dancing has resumed in many places. The two walked together and kept attracting the attention of passers-by.
"It's so boring to stay at home, I really want to start school!" Brother Nan looked up and sighed, "I want to take a vacation when school starts~~"
"It's really boring. "Zhou Li also wants to start school.
"I've recently been learning to make cakes with Douyin. Brother Nan said, "It tastes good, when will I give you a taste." β
"Oh. β
"By the way, how are our flowers?"
"Huai Xu said that it was very good. β
"Hey, hey, hey......"
"Laughing at what?"
"I see that many people on the Internet have dried up the flowers in the dormitory, and they have killed Kukuku!" Brother Nan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.
"You ......" Zhou Li had a headache.
"The crayfish will come out in a few days, and we can go out and eat crayfish. Brother Nan said, "Eat mutton soup first, I see that the mutton soup next to my house is still selling, I don't know when it will close, it's really delicious." β
"Oh. β
Last year, Brother Nan invited Zhou to leave to eat the mutton soup, but he refused at the time, and now he finally can't hide.
Suddenly, he saw many passers-by around him raising their mobile phones to look into the distance, and just when he was puzzled, Brother Nan also patted him on the shoulder-
"Look, rainbow!"
"Huh?"
Zhou Li looked in the direction of her finger.
There were still a few dark clouds left in the sky, the ground was wet, the sun penetrated through the gaps in the clouds, and a rainbow hung on the horizon. Many people choose to record this rare and wonderful moment.
But Brother Nan didn't take pictures, she just turned her head to stare at the rainbow, put her hands in her pockets, and paced forward slowly.
"Click!"
Zhou Li looked at her on the screen from behind.
A basketball rolled down at her feet, and the boys in the distance greeted her with a smile: "Beauty, help pick up the ball!"
Brother Nan grinned, pulled out a hand from his pocket, bent down and patted the ball lightly, and then threw it with one hand, and the basketball crossed a distance beyond the three-point line in the air, bending like a rainbow.
Bang bang -
Entered!
The boys were groaned for a while.
Brother Nan laughed twice, that smile was brighter and more dazzling than the rainbow after the rain, and Zhou Li felt that such a boring and panicked time was also dull and interesting, and slow and gentle.
Until Brother Nan turned to look at him, his face was full of pride, and asked him, "Am I awesome?"
Zhou Li pursed his lips.
It seems that the rainbow is short-lived after all.
