"What type of amulet do you want to carve for the two little ones?"

Shang Ya leaned on Qin Huai's shoulder, and the two of them lay on the soft sofa, quietly looking at the two little ones.

"Longevity locks. ”

Qin Huai actually had a plan.

"But before I do that, I'm going to surprise them. ”

Qin Huai got up and walked into the work hall.

The two little ones were all focused on Shang Ya, and they didn't notice their father's departure at all.

They hung on the edge of the sofa, one little short leg stood on tiptoe, the other little short leg knocked on the sofa, grabbed the sofa with both hands, babbling little milk sounds from their mouths, and struggled to climb up.

Shang Ya smiled and watched, without any idea of taking a hand.

Even if Xiaoya and Xiaoru both fell off the sofa and rolled on the woolen blanket, Shang Ya just clapped her palms and encouraged her, and then let the two continue to try.

There are many things that parents should not do for their children, which is easy for children to breed laziness.

Just like a monarch butterfly, only through the process of hard struggle and painful tearing can it break out of the cocoon in good health.

Helping it break out of its cocoon with scissors is simply harming it.

The two little ones want to climb on the sofa, and they don't need to be helped by the seedlings.

Let them encounter setbacks, try slowly in failure, and give encouragement when they finally succeed, so that the two little ones will only become more and more tenacious in this step-by-step training.

For example, the two little ones now, once they fall, they will get up on their own, and they will never snort more.

Really.

After a few rolls, the two little ones who wanted their mother to kiss and hug the high only rolled a few times, and in just a few tens of seconds, they hung on the sofa again, and their little faces were full of energy, and they just wanted to climb onto the sofa.

See this scene.

The corners of Shang Ya's lips were slightly raised, and her smile exuded the brilliance of maternal love.

That's good.

"Ma Ma ~"

The two little ones climbed onto the sofa one after the other, calling Shang Ya softly in their mouths, their clear eyes full of longing.

Shang Ya then held the two small ones in her arms.

Xiao Ya's little hand grabbed Shang Ya's clothes, tilted her little head, pursed her little pink lips, and was asking for a kiss, her movements and demeanor were so cute.

Shang Ya's sexy red lips were imprinted on Xiao Ya's small lips, and Xiao Ya let out a cheerful laugh like a Teletubbies.

Xiao Ru tilted her head and twisted her ass in the crook of Shang Ya's arm.

……

Qin Huai finally returned with a cardboard box.

Seeing Shang Ya and the two little ones having fun, they laughed dumbly.

"Handsome dad is back. ”

Shang Ya knocked the two small ones back into their original shape - and put them on the carpet.

The two little ones looked reluctant, but they were immediately attracted by the brightly colored toys in Qin Huai's hands.

There was a look of curiosity in his clear eyes.

They are at the age of bullishness, everything in the house can be used as toys, even the spatula when Shang Ya is stir-frying, they have to grab it and play with it when they see it.

Therefore.

Qin Huai took a few days out to carve a batch of toys for them.

Some of them are small animal building blocks, and two or three parts can be used to build a complete kitten, piglet, or puppy that can be used to develop intelligence.

Some are carts with wheels that can turn, little mice that can run, puppies that can bark, and there are also wood-carved music boxes.

Some are lifelike fruits, small apples, small citrus, which seem to exude a fruity aroma.

Of course, there will be no fruits such as lychees that can be swallowed, the fruits carved by Qin Huai are the size of fists, and the two small ones are at most holding and licking and nibbling, and it is absolutely impossible to swallow them in one bite.

"Babbling. ”

The two little ones crawled quickly, and in the blink of an eye they rushed into the pile of toys, and their little faces were excited, and they were lost in it.

Qin Huai's carvings have both details and souls, and the charm naturally goes without saying.

And Qin Huai carved two copies of each toy, so there will be no uneven distribution of spoils, and the two little ones just want to play how they want.

"Our Qin Huai's dad is so competent that he can't do it. Daughter slave, son slave. ”

Shang Ya's cheeks were filled with a happy smile, Qin Huai's little brother was really a gentle person to the bone. Every detail of life is elegant and delicate.

……

"The two little ones are very well-behaved, I can take care of them alone, you can spend a little more time creating. ”

Shang Ya suddenly thought that Qin Huai's little brother didn't seem to have entered a state of not being crazy and unable to speak for two years.

"Don't worry, eat and drink well, study and live well, live slowly, the years will precipitate the beauty I want, and the creativity will naturally not be less. ”

Qin Huai's current mentality is extremely leisurely, and it is a matter of changing a lifetime for a thousand years.

If you want to hurry, why rush?

Maybe one day, he saw the flowers bloom and suddenly had an idea.

Maybe one day, he heard the noise of cicadas and suddenly felt something.

Persistence is a good thing.

But if you are blindly persistent, it is easy to find yourself uncomfortable and cause trouble to Shang Ya.

Settle enough to make the idea come naturally.

After Qin Huai handed over the toys to the two little ones, he sat down on the dining table, took out two carefully selected jade materials and carving knives, and began to carve the longevity lock.

……

The longevity lock began in the Qin and Han dynasties.

At that time, the level of medical care was not high, and babies were prone to death, so in order to give good wishes to the baby, the elders would go to the neighbors' homes and beg for a copper coin, which was cast into a longevity, which meant to borrow a hundred families to live a long life, lock the lives of young children, and avoid the invasion of disease and plague.

Afterward.

Wearing longevity locks has become a custom throughout China, and the raw materials of longevity locks have also undergone continuous changes, from copper to wood, from wood to gold and silver, from gold and silver to porcelain, from porcelain to jade, from jade to lacquerware, inclusive of all things.

After two thousand years of development, the longevity lock has long been out of the lock shape, but has become a piece of quiet years, and the device is decorated with a neck that carries the road.

on small utensils.

Art and blessings breed and spread.

It is the warmth of traditional handicrafts and the continuation of the optimistic attitude of the ancestors;

It is the tranquility and abundance of the road, and it is also the comfort and stability of the quiet years;

It makes people find solace in the hustle and bustle of the floating world.

In "Dream of Red Mansions", Xue Baochai wears a small gold lock with crystal jewels and brilliant gold, which is engraved with the seal character 'never abandon, forever'.

A small golden lock not only shines the beauty's appearance, but also adds points to the beauty's temperament.

TV series.

The picture of Xue Baochai taking out Yingluo and showing it to Baoyu is still vivid in Qin Huai's mind.

Compared with wearing Guanyin and Buddha, Qin Huai likes the longevity lock with a deeper heritage.

First of all.

There are more styles to choose from: round, oval, rectangular, square, diamond......

Secondly.

There are nearly 30 kinds of ornaments of longevity locks, such as unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, tigers, horses, spikes, persimmons, zodiac signs, rich peonies, lotus bats, auspicious clouds and beasts, and auspicious eight treasures......

The meaning of these ornaments is also very rich, such as the longevity lock carved spike pattern, which means the year is safe, and the carved persimmon fruit, which means that everything is good......

Whose child cries in bed?

A lock prays for a long life.

Come to think of it.

The corners of Qin Huai's lips were slightly raised, and he smiled lightly, he could imagine the cute scene of two little tigers playing on the ground while the talisman on his chest was shaking.

It's kind of interesting.

What a blessing to be a dad!

Qin Huai found that all the handicrafts he had recently made were full of childlike fun.

can bend the two little eyes, and the joy is unbearable, Qin Huai feels that the work is a success!

Thinking like this, Qin Huai sat at the dining table and began to carve.

Jade carving longevity locks were very common in ancient times.

"Happy Heart Edition" mentions the jade lock.

It is said that there is a family surnamed Shi, who only gave birth to a son when he was forty years old, and the couple was afraid that he would not be able to raise him for a long time, so they specially hung a jade lock around their son's neck, and then this jade lock was always worn by his side until the weak crown was crowned.

The book describes this jade lock, which is 'exquisitely crafted, wisps of pisces playing in the water, warm and lubricated. ’

What an amazing jade longevity lock!

Qin Huai, as a father, naturally had to give the two little ones a well-prepared gift.

'I am fortunate to be able to lead you through the world in this life.

The rest of his life is still long, and the family of four is full of harmony. ’

Thinking of these, Qin Huai even carved the movements on his hands a little gentle, and the lines that were round and three-point into the jade were slowly engraved on the jade surface.
