Chapter 53: Christmas
There are too many small gourds, Luo Tong is a little worried, take them home, my parents picked a few, and there are many of them at home. Beautiful things are worth sharing with everyone, so Sheng Qiwu, Mu Qing, Ye Ze, Miao Yuehua and others all received Luo Tong's small gourd.
Mu Qing is a little woman in her bones, and she likes the little gourd that Luo Tong gave her. On the same day, I went to the jewelry store and processed it into a bracelet, and I took it with me everywhere.
Sheng Qiwu was a little surprised when he received the small gourd, his uncle Sheng Zhiyong is in the antique business, the trend of this hand-twisted gourd has been very good in recent years, and the price is also considerable. If these little gourds fall into the hands of his uncle, his uncle will have to pay a sky-high price.
But in Luo Tong's view, money can never be earned. She loves these little gourds, not because they are valuable, but because they are cute, round and beautiful. If everything is on par with money, life will be too boring.
Sheng Qiwu was rarely stunned, was he taught a lesson by Luo Tong? But what she said was also that life is not like there is nothing else except money. It's hard to buy a broom, and that's it.
After the small gourd dried, Luo Tong specially checked the small gourd handicrafts. There are two kinds of gourd handicrafts, namely the painted gourd and the hollow gourd.
The gourd is the artist who uses the gourd to iron out the marks on the object to paint, which can be permanently preserved and collected when integrated with the gourd, and the artistic value is extremely high.
While grasping the heat and strength, the creation of brand painting pays attention to "the intention of the pen first, and the pen is formed", giving people a simple and elegant artistic enjoyment with endless aftertaste.
Branding tools, now generally use a branding machine, because the pattern is burned (hot) on the fire, so there is only black. The paintings above are mainly divided into: landscapes, people, animals, ancient myths, ancient spirit animals (such as: dragons, winds, unicorns, bats, etc.).
The hollow gourd is gourd carving, which is the artist using a carving knife to hollow out or shallow carving the shell of the gourd, and outline the landscape, flowers and people to be depicted with rough void lines.
Luo Tong also searched for some pictures of the gourd and found that the gourd was not suitable for her little gourd. Because the smallest gourd needed for branding gourd is about 5 cm, and the largest gourd of Luotong is only four cm.
Therefore, Luo Tong still tends to hollow gourd, but how to get this hollow carving? Give it to others for processing, you will lose the fun of doing it yourself, it is better to learn to carve by yourself, and then do it yourself?
As soon as she said she would do it, Luo Tong bought several engraving books, and when the books arrived, she went headlong into them. Once when I went to Qingshui Village, Uncle Chen saw Luo Tong practicing with the wood in his yard, and he carved quite well.
Uncle Chen taught Luo Tong several carving methods, and since then Luo Tong has been stunned, and he will come to Qingshui Village in the afternoon, and he will stay until the beginning of the lantern every day before going back, and this kind of life will be a full week.
Sheng Qiwu couldn't sit still, his girlfriend hadn't eaten with him for a week. I knew that she was holding wood all day long, and if she didn't really like it, Sheng Qiwu would have stopped her from playing carving.
Since he had the ability, Luo Tong not only has become stronger, but also feels that the tacit understanding between the hand and the eye has become stronger. Luo Tong secretly rejoiced, it seems that my sister has other advantages besides planting. It seems that if she loses her job in the future, she can still become an engraver?
Uncle Chen is an old carpenter, and the small animals he carved are vivid, which is deeply loved by children. In order to demonstrate Luo Tong, he also specially carved a wood carving based on Luo Xiaotang, which is vivid. Luo Tong liked it very much, so he took it back and put it in the living room.
Recently, she has gradually started to get started, but she didn't use these small gourds to practice her hands, but found a few leftovers from Uncle Chen's carpentry work to practice.
There are camphor wood, there are also basswood, all kinds of wood materials are different, and the carving should also pay attention to the different textures, which need to be familiar with themselves, and others can only point out but can not do it for them.
Time flies in Luo Tong's addiction, and on Christmas Day, Sheng Qiwu pulled Luo Tong out. His girlfriend is now full of wood in his eyes every day, and he can't see himself at all, so he must brush up on his presence again.
Luo Tong was still in a fog when he came out, until he came out and saw couples on the street, Christmas songs were playing in the shops on the street, and Christmas trees and decorations could be seen everywhere in the storefront.
She fumbled in her pocket, a little embarrassed. Sheng Qiwu also gave her a bracelet, and she wondered how Sheng Qiwu could give her something for no reason, and it was a Christmas gift for half a day.
Seeing Luo Tong's embarrassment, Sheng Qiwu smiled and deliberately pretended to be pitiful: "I'm so sad, Tongtong doesn't remember that today is Christmas?"
Luo Tong was embarrassed, she wrung her fingers, and hesitated: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, or I'll make it up to you tomorrow?"
Sheng Qiwu was happy in her heart, but she still didn't let her go: "But tomorrow won't be Christmas, then it's not a Christmas gift." ”
Luo Tong's face flushed, "Then what do you say?"
Sheng Qiwu snickered: "That's it, Tongtong, in order to compensate me, you listen to me today, how about it?"
Luo Tong was helpless, so he could only nod and agree. This night, Sheng Qiwu took Luo Tong to eat a couple meal, and the two went to the amusement park after the meal. When the Ferris wheel rose to the top, Sheng Qiwu pulled Luo Tong and kissed him passionately.
When she came out, Luo Tong's lips were a little red and swollen, what should she do? She didn't dare to come to the Ferris wheel in the future, as soon as she saw the Ferris wheel Luo Tong would think of this.
After Christmas Eve, Luo Tong also reflected on her behavior these days, and she did ignore Sheng Qiwu a lot recently. In order to balance hobbies and love, Luo Tong deliberately reduced the time he spent playing with wood, and instead spent more time with Sheng Qiwu.
This also made her understand that feelings are the work of both parties, and one person alone cannot maintain a relationship. In this relationship, Luo Tong thinks that he is far from doing as much as Sheng Qiwu, and now it seems that he still has to be a little better to him.
Sure enough, after Luo Tong changed his mind, Sheng Qiwu sensitively noticed Luo Tong's changes. He will receive some messages from Luo Tong, including flowers and plants, as well as Luo Xiaotang's stealing food in life, full of life interest. In the past, Sheng Qiwu sent it to Luo Tong, and Luo Tong rarely took the initiative to tell him this, and many times Sheng Qiwu asked.
To say that Luo Tong was still a little bit away before, then now Sheng Qiwu can feel Luo Tong's gaze on him from time to time, and the two are closer and more understanding.
