After feeding the chickens and cleaning them, Hu Jinhua went to make his bed, while Zhou Heng handled the trap cage at home, and added a long iron wire to it to facilitate fixation.

was busy, and a message came from Zhou Heng's mobile phone.

When I picked it up, it turned out to be a group of high school classmates, and a few people chatted.

This group has not spoken for a year and a half, and it has become a few advertising groups for micro-businesses, which keep ringing every day, and he blocked the news of those people, and suddenly the world is much quieter.

The content of their chat today made Zhou Heng stunned.

Qing Silk Chao: [Big news, I heard that Li Li went back!]

Fearless of wind and rain: [What does it mean to go back?

Waist Remnant: [Li Li, you don't remember? Someone killed someone and went to prison for her back then!

Fearless of Wind and Rain: [Oh, you're talking about her! It's not from our class, I haven't heard from her for years. 】

Just ask for a peaceful love: [Who did you all listen to?Why don't I know?What did she go back for?Didn't she come back for years?]

Wandering in memories: [I don't know, I heard that it's good to mix outside.] 】

Xiao San, all the time playing is leftovers: [You people, the news is not well-informed at all. Hasn't Hu Jinhua been out for more than half a year?]

Just ask for a peaceful love: [Oh oh, according to your meaning, they still want to continue the front edge? No, how long has it been!]

……

Looking at these news, Zhou Heng was also surprised.

The Li Li in the mouths of these classmates is actually their high school class, the same class but different classes, and she was Hu Jinhua's girlfriend back then.

Hu Jinhua was only put in because of her fight. Later, Zhou Heng went to college and went to other places, and he didn't hear from her again.

After so much time had passed, Zhou Heng didn't expect to see this name again.

The world is so small, going around and meeting again.

It's just that she really wants to come back and renew her relationship with Hu Jinhua as those classmates said?

Since Zhou Heng and Hu Jinhua reunited for so long, they haven't mentioned this matter much, and they have never mentioned the name Li Li, and I really don't know how they developed.

After all, this should be a scar on him. The misfortune that occurred when I was young almost put my whole life into it. No matter how beautiful the first love is, if something like this happens, it is estimated that it will not be much better.

However, Hu Jinhua was sentenced so heavily, it would be expected that they would break up.

Didn't people say earlier, husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, not to mention that they are not husband and wife.

And for such a long time, in terms of age, many of his classmates have already married and had children, and the older they get, who will always live in the past?

But on the other hand, if Li Li really waited for him to wait until now, it would really be affectionate and admirable.

However, this is all Zhou Heng's own speculation, in fact, the people in the group are just saying that Li Li is back.

As for whether she came back because of her own private affairs, or because she came back to find Hu Jinhua, there is no way to know now, it is just gossip and speculation.

Zhou Heng flipped through the members of the group, but did not see Hu Jinhua's number, which meant that he was not in the group.

Well, he probably doesn't know it yet, right?

I don't know what he will think when he learns the news.

Zhou Heng picked up the finished wire cage and walked to the back mountain, where Hu Jinhua was still making his bed in the hut.

Wang Rui, that guy, doesn't know what he's busy with, he usually chatters in front of him, and now he is asking him for help, but he doesn't know where to hide.

That kid is really amazing, within a few days of coming to the village, he became familiar with all the children in the village on summer vacation, and he was even more familiar than Zhou Heng.

There are more than a dozen trap cages, and it's hard for him to take it alone!

Waiting for him to carry the cage, he walked crookedly to the back mountain, and before he arrived at the place, he heard a "hahaha" sound in the hut from a distance, it turned out that Wang Rui was playing here.

Zhou Heng shouted: "Wang Rui, come and help me get something." ”

Wang Rui ran out and picked up a few for him, as if he was in a hurry.

Zhou Heng asked him, "What are you busy with?"

"Well, it's fun, really. Wang Rui replied with a look of adoration, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the hut.

That's amazing! What is this kid singing?

It's not here to be in a hurry to watch cartoons, it's not powered yet.

When Zhou Heng entered the hut, he suddenly stood still, his mouth opened and forgot to close it.

It turns out that this is the bed that Hu Jinhua made for himself!

Good guys, there are four bed legs next to them, all of which are carved golden dragon pillars, dragon claws, dragon scales, clouds and mist, vivid!

A bed leg, all playing with so many fancy things, no wonder it is so time-consuming.

At this time, Hu Jinhua was busy with the bed rest, and he was also carving dragons and phoenixes, carving with a small carving knife.

Sawdust flying, a knife carved out of a piece of dragon scales, full of three-dimensionality, beautiful lines, the whole is a master's craft.

Zhou Heng looked at it for a while, and then he came back to his senses, remembering that the things in his hand hadn't been put down yet, and he didn't notice it at all.

He put down his things and asked, "That's what you said you would do carpentry?!"

It's more than that, okay!

In the past, when carpenters came to work in the owner's house, they would make a full set of furniture and the like, and they would do some carvings, but it was very simple.

For example, carve an orchid or plum blossom on the back of the bed, and carve peonies and bamboos on the back of a chair or cabinet door.

It's all a few strokes, which is like his relief-style dragon out of the sea of clouds!

I made it completely into a handicraft.

Hu Jinhua raised his head, smiled, and said: "I am indeed not very good at carpentry, the master teaches carpentry less, this bed is the simplest mortise and tenon joint, there is no special shape." It's that the carving is still good at it. ”

He said that he didn't plan to carve flowers, but that day he saw that the wood used to make the legs of the bed was okay, and he started carving it for a while.

But he said that he was not very good at carpentry, but only good at carving, which is more interesting.

In fact, the concept of woodworking is very broad, carving, carving, lacquering, lacquer painting, etc., also belong to this broad category.

It doesn't just refer to the common use of ink, planers, and saws to make an object.

But later, the division of labor became more and more detailed, which led to some carpenters not being able to carve, and carvers not being able to carpenter.

The teacher who gave lectures to Hu Jinhua's group of people was not very proficient in carpentry, but his carving skills were okay.

In fact, the art industry, or artists, that extends from woodworking, is much more than just carving.

For example, the famous old man Qi Baishi, who left a wide spread to the world, said that he had been a carpenter until he was forty years old, and he did not begin to learn painting until he was in his forties until he reached middle age, and later became a generation of famous painters.

When it comes to him, people will always say that he is a representative of a late bloomer.

This is just a misunderstanding, Qi Lao has been apprenticed as a carpentry apprentice since he was a teenager, and all kinds of carvings and lacquer paintings have to be touched.

If you want your craft to be recognized, in addition to doing solid things in the basic work, you also need to make the appearance more beautiful.

In order to paint carved and lacquer paintings that are more beautiful than others, Qi Baishi didn't know how many famous teachers he worshipped when he was a teenager.

Without those decades of immersion in carving and lacquer painting, an ordinary middle-aged man at the age of forty could suddenly comprehend the unique artistic beauty and become a generation of people?

However, how many carpenters over the years have only produced a Qi Baishi, which is also inseparable from his personal artistic talent.

What Hu Jinhua learned was one of the branches of woodworking, carving. Of course, there are many famous carvings alone, but there are probably not too many who can compare with Qi Baishi's fame.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but say: "You have such good craftsmanship, you should really do some carver work, I am a condescending talent!"

Hu Jinhua smiled, shook his head and said, "Don't look for it, I'm just half a bucket of water, why bother to bother with myself." ”

When he first came out to look for a job, he really thought about finding what he could do, but he encountered some trouble at the beginning.

Nowadays, the places that sell furniture in the township are basically selling finished products directly, which is cheap and convenient, and there is no need for carpentry at all.

Even if there were, it was now all chainsaws, planers, etc., and he couldn't operate them.

And there is no carver in the town, so I can only go to other big cities to try my luck, but because my mother is not in good health, and he doesn't understand the current motor carving, it is estimated that it is useless to go, so I don't want to go outside for the time being.

As a result, he only asked someone to go to the fertilizer store.

In fact, there is another reason, he went in at the age when he was energetic and daring, and when his mind was exhausted, he was now asked to start from scratch in the big city, which made him feel very stressed.

In short, he feels pretty good about the current working environment, doing some physical work, and he can carve and play by himself when he has time, which is good.

No, there is no electricity in this hut now, although it is built in the shade of a tree, and the doors in front and back of the house are opened, and there is natural air circulation, but it is still very hot during the summer day.

Hu Jinhua was sweating, but he was obsessed with carving and could sit still.

If you don't like it, how can you stick to it?

Wang Rui, this kid, also joined in the fun. He can endure such a hot environment just to see him carve, and he doesn't blink his eyes.

Wang Siqi also picked up sawdust shavings here to play.

Okay, then he thinks it's okay.

Zhou Heng felt that there was another reason, even if Hu Jinhua really went outside to interview the carver, people asked him for his resume, no, and people asked him if he had any excellent works, but there were none, which was really difficult.

It's better for him to carve it himself first, and maybe he will be able to produce a few of his own masterpieces.

Zhou Heng said: "Then if you continue, I'll go out of the cage myself." Wang Rui, are you going?"

Hu Jinhua put down the carving knife in his hand and said with a smile: "I'll go too." I estimate that it will be completed in two more days, and the bed will be put together, so there is no hurry. ”

He also wanted to go down to the cage and grab something.

Wang Rui was still entangled, not only wanting to continue to watch his carving, but also wanting to go to the trap, after all, he had long fantasized about trapping and catching hares.

This is good, he was so happy that he hurriedly helped carry a few cages, and then asked, "Uncle, what kind of bait is used for this, can it work?"

Zhou Heng said: "The lard residue used, why doesn't it work? Such a good thing, it can't eat it if it wants to!"
