Chapter 216: A grandfather who worked as a curium craftsman
Luo Xiangdong put Ye Xiaochi at the door of her house and drove back to his house. He planned to take a closer look at all the things left by Luo Dingwei after he went back, check them carefully, and maybe find some clues that he hadn't noticed before.
Ye Zhengang had already come back from the set, and was waiting at home with Luo Xiangnan at this time, when he heard the movement, the two of them hurriedly discharged from the hospital, and saw the big canvas bag that Ye Xiaochi was carrying, knowing that she had spent money to buy things for the family again, Luo Xiangnan inevitably wanted to say a few words, "Look at you, how long have you been working, why do you spend money all the time?" distressed money is really distressed, but the joy in my heart is not fake.
Ye Xiaochi still wanted to say a few words, "I look at a lot, but I actually didn't buy much." Some of them were bought on National Day, but they never got them back. ”
After Ye Xiaochi entered the house, he found that the beams on the roof of the house were no longer exposed, and the hanging shed had been prepared. The walls were also scraped again, and they were simply cleaned up again, and they looked much stronger than before. At a glance, you can see that these two people are spending their money in the right place.
At this time, just after three o'clock, Ye Jingtao was still at school, and he couldn't go home until five o'clock. Luo Xiangnan took Ye Xiaochi to her house, lifted the kang mattress covered on the small kang, and asked Ye Xiaochi to take off his shoes and warm up on the kang first. In the past two days, a strong cold air has come from the north, and the temperature has dropped quite a lot. It's cold and cold outside. Her hut burned on, and it felt warm.
Ye Xiaochi touched the hot little kang, and a stream of hot air went down the palm of his hand to his arm, eliminating the coolness on his arm. She took off her shoes according to Luo Xiangnan's intentions, and then sat on the kang, and after a while, the heat on the kang drove away the chill on her body.
"Mom, it's good to be home. Hearing Ye Xiaochi say this, Luo Xiangnan was naturally happy. She put the mattress on Ye Xiaochi's feet, and then said to her, "Other mothers can't do it, that is, when you come back, let you rest and relax." If you are tired, lie down for a while, and in a while our family of four will go to your third uncle's house for dinner. At noon, your third uncle came and said that your third aunt was going to kill one of the roosters in the house, and invited us to eat together. ”
"Oh, okay, I just happened to bring them something too, so I'll bring them to them when we eat. By the way, Mom, I'll ask you something. ”
Luo Xiangnan didn't have much work at this time, everything that should be cleaned up was packed up before her daughter came back, and she didn't leave, so she accompanied Ye Xiaochi to talk in the house, and when she asked, she said, "Just ask your mother directly if you have anything." ”
Ye Xiaochi took the pillow next to him and pillowed it under his head. Then lie down and let your entire abdomen stick to the kang. Her relatives visited last night, and her stomach was a little swollen and painful, and she felt much better after burning on the hot kang.
"Mom, how much do you remember about my grandfather? Ye Xiaochi was enjoying the ondol therapy while inquiring about Luo Dingwei.
She hadn't asked before, Luo Xiangnan was inevitably surprised, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"
"It's just that I suddenly want to know, Mom, tell me how much you remember. ”
It's not something that can't be said, seeing that his daughter is interested, Luo Xiangnan said, "Your grandfather is a great person, much better than his mother, and he is a cultured person, but it's a pity that your mother and your uncle didn't catch up with the good times, and neither of us learned the things of your grandfather's guild, hey, I don't know if he will feel uncomfortable underground." ”
"Then I don't blame you, just then, I couldn't go to school, wasn't there something I couldn't do? Can you tell me what my grandfather did all those years?
Luo Xiangnan shook his head, "Your grandfather is not in good health, he is quite thin, he can't do too much heavy work, and he earns little work." When the farm is slack, he goes out to make porcelain for people to supplement the family, whose dishes or something are broken, reluctant to throw away, so he comes to him to bake, as long as it is not broken, it can continue to be used for many years. Anyway, sometimes the place to go is quite far away, and sometimes it takes ten days and a half to go out. ”
Curium (ju) porcelain is an ancient porcelain restoration technology, that is, the broken porcelain is cured with a curium like a staple. After curium, it can be used to hold water and porridge without leakage. The afterword "no diamonds, don't do porcelain work" comes from here. Because the curium has a diamond drill bit, it is used to drill holes in porcelain. In the Song Dynasty Zhang Zerui painted the "Qingming Riverside Map", there are curium craftsmen doing work.
Ye Xiaochi works in Jinguzhai, and there are curnetted porcelain in the store, so as soon as Luo Xiangnan said it, she knew what kind of work her grandfather was doing. With his grandfather's ability, this porcelain restoration technique is nothing.
After she heard Luo Xiangnan say this, she asked, "Can the village let him earn this money?"
"Your grandfather doesn't need money for this work in the village, not only that, but he can also give people some benefits when he earns money outside and gets it back. In addition, the people in the village here are very good, but it is a pity that he is a scholar who has fallen to this point, and he has turned a blind eye. ”
Ye Xiaochi listened to it and figured it out. If this is the case, Luo Dingwei has the conditions to go out to collect antiques, and he also has the opportunity to transport things to his hometown to hide. As for why she didn't hide in Liudaogou Village, then she didn't know, and it was impossible for the predecessors and future generations to find out all the ideas.
Listening to Luo Xiangnan babbling about some things about Luo Dingwei's life, Ye Xiaochi didn't hear any other clues. In the end, Ye Xiaochi asked, "Mom, grandfather, didn't he tell you anything when he died?" She felt that before leaving, if there was anything she wanted to explain, she would inevitably try her best to explain.
If he really hid something, who else would he tell if he didn't tell Luo Xiangnan and Luo Xiangdong?
"Your grandfather left too suddenly, and when I was working at home that day, the villagers carried your grandfather back from the field, saying that he had fallen down the slope and touched a stone. At that time, the situation was not good, your uncle was not at home, just me, and then your grandfather stretched out three fingers and said two words to me with his mouth, and I still can't understand what he wants to say, hey!"
Ye Xiaochi was sad when he saw Luo Xiangnan mention the old things, so he hugged her shoulders and comforted her, and stopped asking her about these things. As for the things that happened in Luochuan City, it was impossible for her to talk to Luo Xiangnan, if she really wanted to talk about it, Luo Xiangnan's good days would be disrupted again.
Three fingers, two words? It's really not a clue. It can only be said that he himself didn't expect it to suddenly fail. Some things would be better if they were explained earlier.
Luo Xiangnan didn't mention these things anymore, got up and went to his house, and took out a pair of woolen pants from the closet. One is a little thinner, and the other is a double-layer weave, which is thicker.
"When Mom was fine, I knitted you two woolen pants, one thin and one thicker. Mom knows that you don't like red, so she chooses gray and black, and you wear it to try to see if it fits, and take it with you when you go. ”
Ye Xiaochi took it and stretched it with his hand, the elasticity was very good, the stitches were fine and even, and he tried it on according to Luo Xiangnan's meaning, and it was just right.
Luo Xiangnan said, "In the past, my mother also knitted sweaters for you to wear, but now the sweaters knitted by my mother are not as fashionable as those sold outside, so I won't knit them for you." Woolen pants are fine, just wear them inside the pants to keep warm. ”
The mother and daughter chatted until Ye Jingtao came back, and then went to Ye Zhenbing's house for dinner together.
