Liu Xinru, who was originally dedicated to persuading the old man, didn't know what to say after hearing the old man's words.

"I'm sorry grandpa, it's all my selfishness......"

Liu Xinru said with a face full of shame, Liu Xinru always thought that she was very considerate of the old man, but as everyone knows, she didn't think about it from the perspective of the old man at all.

"Grandpa, originally I was the same as you, and I didn't have the courage to go back, and I felt that it was better to stay in this intention than go back, at least to make a quiet scene, but after I went back, I found that things were not so difficult, and many things were just as I imagined, but after I went back, I had a very relaxed feeling in my heart, which was indescribable. ”

Liu Xinru said as she took out some special products from her bag for the elderly, and continued, "I plan that you will never come back here if you don't believe it, I originally thought that I would bring my grandfather back and take care of each other, but I didn't consider the things that my grandfather was worried about, I thought it was too simple." ”

Although the starting point is for the sake of the elderly, I hope that the old man can live a better life, but he did not think of those things in the heart of the old man, to be honest, material life is not the most important thing for the elderly, the most important thing is to feel comfortable.

"I haven't eaten shortbread for many years, I remember when I was very young, my family would buy a little bit of shortbread during the holidays......"

Liu Xinru didn't expect that the old man would be so interested in the shortbread he brought.

Seeing that his grandfather liked it, he hurriedly tore open the package and took out a small piece of it, and gently put it in the old man's hand.

The old man took the shortbread in his hand, took a small bite, and his thoughts returned to his youth.

At that time, life was very embarrassing, and the above problems of food and clothing could only have such a small bag of shortbread during the New Year's holidays, sometimes it was bought and taken by relatives, and the last remaining small bag was sometimes sent by others, a small packet, no more, no less, just a few pieces.

There are several brothers in the family, and there are grandparents, and it is not a simple matter to eat shortbread.

At that time, I was young, and I was full of desire to eat a bite of shortbread, so the more I couldn't eat it, the more I wanted it.

Everyone shares such a small piece, reluctant to swallow it in one bite, gently put it in their hands, and eat it in small bites, the taste is unforgettable.

How many years have passed, I didn't expect to eat shortbread again or that taste, or that feeling, the old man couldn't help but cry the moment he ate the shortbread.

Yes, going back is not as difficult as imagined, maybe I have magnified all this infinitely, and I am not as thorough as a young child.

In order to repay the master's life-saving grace, I have been here for many years, and now I don't have much time left, why don't I go home?

The old man's heart began to have the idea of going back, but it was still very contradictory.

"Kid, let me think about it and get back to you tomorrow. ”

"Grandpa......"

Liu Xinru had never seen the old man so sad and sad, and he had never seen the old man crying, so he just looked at the old man in a daze and nodded and said.

At this time, Liu Xinru didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong, let his grandfather make up his mind alone, if he went back, he would take good care of him. If he does not go back, he will leave him some more money and have time to see him.

A piece of shortbread, so that the old man became hesitant, began to miss his hometown, the previous concerns also began to be forgotten, after living for so long and still a few years to live, he has been repaying the favor all his life, and the remaining years should make up for it, the relatives who have been neglected by themselves, I don't know what happened to them for so many years, and whether there are descendants in this world.

Thinking of this, the old man began to make up his mind, that is, to go back with Liu Xinru.

Liu Xinru never expected that what she hadn't done with her mouth would be done by a piece of shortbread.

It is a good thing for grandpa to be able to follow him back, he doesn't have to worry about grandpa in the future, at least by his side, he can take care of her, unlike now, he is worried about his health across thousands of mountains and rivers.

And grandpa's craftsmanship is so good, he will definitely be able to help Akai, Akai and Ding He are their benefactors, and they are equivalent to doing their best to repay them.

As on that day, it was raining lightly in the alley, and the sky was gray.

The old man didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase, and most of it was equipment used for carving, and the clothes were only two simple substitutes.

"Grandpa, let's go!"

Liu Xinru knew that her grandfather couldn't rest assured of this small shop, so she continued, "I have asked a friend to help take care of this shop, and I will not rent it out, but will only come to clean it regularly, and it has always remained the same." ”

Hearing Liu Xinru's words, the old man nodded, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and walked in the direction of leaving the alley.

And this time I left, I don't know if I came back.

"Brother-in-law, what do you think of this old man's craftsmanship?"

Akai whispered to Ding He and said, "This old man has a strange temper. ”

Ding He smiled and nodded, and continued to admire the things carved by the old man.

Cheap jade, or discarded scraps, or strangely shaped raw materials, can all be turned into treasures in the hands of the elderly, making full use of their advantages and disadvantages, and adapting measures to local conditions.

The old man's carving skills are absolutely passable, because these small and delicate things perfectly show the old man's skills, coupled with these exquisite designs, these ideas of turning waste into treasure, the old man is a person with ideas.

Ding He originally had a more detailed plan, but in fact, he could tell the carver directly and let him carve according to his own ideas.

But Ding He has changed his mind now, he wants to let the old man play freely, and just properly mention his own suggestions to the old man.

"I'll take care of the rest!"

Ding He knew that Akai was very worried about carving, because the carving was decisive, and once the carving failed, this piece of jade would be smashed in his hands.

"Okay, I won't be involved in this matter, the old man also brought it to you, I'll go first, and I'll come and inform me when I'm done~"

Even if you don't feel at ease, but because you don't know the professional knowledge in it, it's useless to worry about it, my brother-in-law is here, and he has already spoken to make himself feel at ease, so it's better to leave.

"Old man, this is the raw material we want to carve this time. ”

After opening the insurance, Ding He took out a small box, opened the lid, and uncovered the red cloth on it.

Because the moon star is too valuable, it has always been placed in the safest place, and at this time, only the old man and Ding He are here.

"Moonstar! it's ...... How could it be here?"

Obviously, the old man was very surprised by the accident, and he was very excited to see that the raw material was the moon and the star again.

"I'm the one who bought the moon star. ”

Ding He smiled slightly and continued to the old man, "The moon star is a priceless treasure, but this pricelessness does have two meanings, if the carving is successful, it is the real priceless treasure, and if the carving fails, it is really worthless that no one wants to spend money to buy." ”

After hearing Ding He's words, the old man nodded, but instead of Li Dinghe, he put all his attention on the moon star.

As for the Moon Star, the old man had been paying attention to him for a long time, and he had already thought about how to carve the Moon Star countless times, but he had not found the best solution.

When he heard that the Moon Star had been bought at auction, the old man was worried for several days, wondering what the Moon Star would be carved into.

The old man has several options in his mind, but he has not chosen the best plan, and the old man always feels that there is something missing and something lacking.

"The old man invited you to come this time, just hoping that you would personally carve the moon star, how many assistants do you need, you just ask. ”

Seeing that the old man was so interested in the Moon Star, Ding He didn't explain too much, it was obvious that this old man had been paying attention to the Moon Star for a long time, and he knew about it, but I was afraid that he didn't know as much as this old man.

"I don't need an assistant, just give me enough time, such a good thing, you have to carve slowly, slow work and fine work......"

The old man was intoxicated, but he responded to Ding He's words casually.

"Old man, I know you have a rule, that is, you don't like other people's requests, you will only follow your own heart. ”

Hearing Ding He's words, the old man turned around, a little puzzled what Ding He meant by this.

"I won't break your rules, and I'm not going to ask for them, but I want to give you some advice, and I hope you'll hear it. ”

"But it's okay......" The old man still didn't understand what Ding He's words meant, so he had to listen to Ding He finish his words first.

"For the stain of raw materials, most of them are advocated to be removed or hidden, I want to say whether you can make a fuss about the stain and let the stain become its characteristic. ”

Ding He said as he gently stroked the moon star, and said to himself, "Just like a delicate fabric, accidentally scratched a cut, instead of tearing off this broken piece of cloth, it is better to follow the torn cracks, embroider some exquisite fancy patterns, and add icing on the cake to this fabric." ”

Ding He's words made the old man slightly stunned, it was very simple and easy to understand, but it made the old man have infinite reverie, and he felt that there was suddenly an extra blank in his mind, which could be played infinitely.

"Go on. The old man couldn't help but want Ding He to say a few more words.

"Old man, I just have some suggestions, if you continue to talk about it, it will fix your mind, and I am sure you will understand the truth. ”

Ding He rejected the old man's request and did not continue, but smiled slightly, and continued to the old man with great respect, "Old man, I believe in you, I believe that with your talent and years of experience, you will think of the best solution." ”

"With such a valuable raw material, are you sure I will make the idea by myself?"

This surprised the old man, not to mention the moon star, which was a slightly more valuable raw material, and the guests would also make various requests to cook it in the restaurant, but the young man just gave himself some hints, so he refused to say more, and put the decision in his own hands.

"Aren't you still worried about the skills you've practiced all your life?"

Ding He asked rhetorically, "Since the old man invited you to come, I believe in you, we have all seen the things you carved, and I can't trust your strength more." You have your rules, I will never break your rules, I just gave you some advice. ”

"Little comrade, thank you for your trust in me. The old man nodded deeply at Ding He, his face was full of emotion, being able to be trusted so much is the greatest affirmation of himself.

Although the little comrade is young, he looks by no means simple, and the words of the glacier are reflected in the old man's façade, but he has already made up his mind, that is, after he has designed the plan, he must show it to Ding He, this little comrade has excellent eyesight, he must have better ideas.

I refuse to listen to the ideas of the guests, because I may not know the raw materials at all, I know how to carve the raw materials to give full play to its maximum value, so that he can get the value for money, so there will gradually be such a rule,

But in front of this little comrade, the old man felt that he knew this raw material very well, and if he still adhered to his own rules, he would be bent on going his own way.

"The old man has wronged you these days, because the moon star is really too valuable, please forgive me for causing you these inconveniences. ”

"It's okay, it's okay to concentrate and not be disturbed by the outside world. ”

The old man smiled slightly, nodded and said, then looked at Ding He and continued, "Little comrade, please come to me again in three days." ”

The old man didn't say what he would do in three days, and Ding He didn't ask.

Because the Moon Star is too precious, the old man and the building where the Moon Star is located must all be sealed, except for the staff, who are the security personnel.

Heavy protection, entry and exit are very strict, just to be able to let the old man and the moon star get enough safety, enough quiet.

Ding He did not let the experts invited by Akai before, but let them stay, and let them analyze the moon star and design their own plans through videos and display pictures.

Ding He knew that the old man was a reasonable person, and he should pay more attention to the moon and star than himself, in this case, if he could give the old man some advice and let the old man have more ideas, it would be better for the old man.

Therefore, while giving the elderly enough power, they will also give the elderly corresponding suggestions, so that the elderly can have more ideas, so that the elderly can design the best plan and let the moon star play the greatest value.

Ding He and the old man get along with each other, mutual respect and appreciation, which also lays the foundation for future cooperation.
