Chapter 409: Family
The small problem is easy to solve, and it will be okay to change another material, anyway, there are many materials here in Wenxu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The two nephews and uncles changed a material, this time Hang Xiangdong controlled it himself from head to end, don't you say, after half an hour of busy work, Hang Xiangdong sawed and chiseled, and the square bed leg material was made in Hang Xiangdong's hands little by little.
"Look!" Hang Xiangdong carefully checked it himself before handing over the material in his hand to Wen Xu.
Wen Xu took the material and reached out to touch it, glanced at it with his eyes, and immediately gave a thumbs up to his uncle, this time he really praised his uncle: "Uncle, your craftsmanship is really good!"
Hang Xiangdong's face was full of satisfaction, and he was polite, and then said: "No, it's a lot more regressive than when I was a teenager, but even if I retreat from this root, I feel like I'm almost back after fiddling with it a few times." If others don't say it, it's still a lot higher than you kid!"
"That's natural, I'm fiddling with this is actually a hobby, fiddling with it when I'm fine," Wen Xu said.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Hang Xiangdong said: "Although this hobby is special, but it is not bad, it is better than playing mahjong and gambling for money.
When Hang Xiangdong learned, the carpenter was all handiwork, a saw, two or three planers, plus an ink fountain and a few small parts at most, you can go from house to house to find a bowl of rice to eat, and the life is all based on real craftsmanship, if you don't do it well, people may have to let you lose the material.
Hang Xiangdong told Wen Xu about the life of the old craftsman in the past, and at the same time taught Wen Xu the basic carpentry knows, such as how to use the planer, how to hold the chisel to save time and effort, how to punch holes in the wood to make straight and so on.
One of the two taught attentively, and the other learned seriously, and time slipped away unconsciously.
"Brother, Dad, it's time to eat!"
When the two were busy working, the door of the studio was pushed open, and Hang Chen walked in with a peach in his hand, and said to the two while nibbling on a peach.
"Okay!" As soon as Hang Xiangdong heard that it was time to eat, he said to Wen Xu: "The rest will be taught tomorrow, if you have time after eating, practice more, practice makes perfect, craftsmanship is like this, say a thousand times ten thousand times is better than take it and do it again!"
"I see, uncle!"
Hang Chen gnawed on the peach, while stretching out his head to look around, the girl is not very interested in seeing the machine, glanced at the layout of the house, and the girl said to Wen Xu: "Brother, you are also a little too tyrant, such a big room does not live in people, and there are so many machines, what a waste!"
"What do you know" Hang Xiangdong said to his daughter, picked up the clothes that were placed on the pile of wood, lifted the clothes and shook them, shook off some sawdust and the like on them, hung them on his arms and walked towards the door.
"Let's go, go back to dinner!"
When they arrived at the door, they pushed Hang Chen to the door, and the father and daughter went out of the studio first, Wen Xu put down the things in his hand, tidied up a little and followed out the door.
Before entering the front yard, Wen Xu heard a voice coming from the gate of the courtyard.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Wen Xu looked at the door and didn't see anyone for a while, and waited for two or three seconds before appearing at the door, the little guy was seven or eight years old, carrying a small basket of bamboo strips in his hand, and when he saw Wen Xu at the door, he immediately laughed, revealing a row of small teeth that were not neat.
"Uncle, I'm big (local dialect, father's meaning), let me send you some cherries" The little guy stood in front of Wen Xu with a trot and lifted the small basket in his hand.
Wen Xu stretched out his hand to see that the small half basket of cherries in the basket was purple red, not as oily and bright as in the supermarket, and the color was much lighter, but it looked like the flesh was a little translucent, warm and warm, and some of the fruits had a little yellowish patches on the sunny side.
Looking at this cherry, Wen Xu reached out and pinched one and put it in his mouth, chewed it at first tasted slightly sour, this little sour taste with a mouth, and then after chewing it, it was sweet and sour, and the taste was very good.
"Go back and thank you for me!"
Wen Xu smiled and lifted the basket.
The little guy watched Wen Xu take the basket, so he scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Uncle, you have to return the basket to me, my mother told me to take the basket back, if I don't go back, let me eat bamboo shoots and fried meat!"
"I know!" Wen Xu smiled and reached out to touch the little guy's head: "Come in with me, uncle will get you something to eat."
"Okay!" As soon as the little guy heard that there was something to eat, he immediately shook his arm and followed behind Wen Xu, for the little people, Wen Xu's things are the best, for them, toffee, canned food is the best, like this pollution-free fresh fruit, they often eat it but don't think it's good.
Carrying the basket into the house, Wen Xu saw that on the coffee table in the living room, there were ten small baskets on the table in the dining room, which were either fruits or some tender corn cobs, flowers and the like.
"Where's that?" Wen Xu asked casually,
Li Yumei had already prepared the dishes at this time, and was about to come out to clean up the table, when she heard Wen Xu's words, she immediately replied: "It's all sent by the children, I said that you people here are too polite, take some dates back, and immediately send so many things."
Hang Xiangdong nodded and said, "What do you know, this is a courtesy exchange, everyone may not give you something of the same price, but if you take your things, you will give something casually." This is the habit of the villagers to live, and it is also the way the villagers get along with each other, and I haven't felt such kindness for a long time!"
Wen Xu just asked casually, he didn't need to listen to Li Yumei that he knew what the situation was if he thought about it, and now put the basket on the table, and after he went upstairs, he took a small packet of toffee, almost twenty or thirty yuan, and walked down.
At this time, Li Yumei had already poured the cherries into a small basket filled with apricots, and after Wen Xu saw it, she put the toffee in her hand into the basket, and then said to the little guy: "Go, be careful on the way back, don't be greedy!"
The little baby actually said to Wen Xu: "Uncle, I'm not stupid! It's going to rain heavily! I'm leaving!"
Saying that, the little guy smiled shyly at the people around him, and said hello, and then reached out and took out the toffee bag in the basket while walking towards the door, and tore it twice without tearing, the little man immediately used his mouth, biting the seal of the bag, and with one hand, the sugar bag was opened.
When he arrived at the door, the little guy twisted the handle, and then squeezed the door with his back, and at the same time squeezed open the door, a toffee had been peeled into his mouth, and he didn't see any mud and water in one go, and he had already eaten the toffee as soon as he got out.
The little baby who was eating toffee in his mouth was also in a good mood, and jumped out of the yard with the basket in his hand.
"Delicious! delicious!"
Hang Chen finished nibbling the peach in his hand, and took advantage of Wen Xu's efforts to watch the children go out, he had already washed half a bowl of cherries in a glass bowl, and while eating, he reached out from time to time to stuff one in the mouth of Li Yumei, who was busy.
"Eat less, and you won't eat later?" Hang Xiangdong saw his daughter's fist-sized peach in her stomach, and now she hugged half a bowl of cherries, so he immediately said: "Cherries should be eaten less, this thing is on fire!"
Li Yumei said with a smile: "Do you think she can still have dinner at night? Before you came in, she had already eaten a lot, two apples and two or three nectarines ...... each."
"How can there be so many, just one nectarine" Hang Chen immediately corrected his mother's words, stretched out a finger and waved it, indicating that he had only eaten one nectarine.
"Okay, just one for one, let's eat two pears?...... Do you think she'll be able to eat at night?"
With Li Yumei's report, Wen Xu found that this girl had really eaten a lot.
Li Yumei said as she took the basket and the like on the table, Wen Xu and Hang Xiangdong's nephew also reached out to help, and the three of them cleaned up the table and brought the dishes to the table one by one, at this time, Hang Chen, the girl, sat directly on the table with the glass bowl in her hand.
"Don't serve me food, I'll just eat a few bites of food" Hang Chen patted his belly: "Full, full!"
Hang Xiangdong turned to Wen Xu and asked, "There are still a lot of fruits in the village, and there are still people planting fruit trees?"
Wen Xu said: "In the past, where are there still people planting now, the most is to order a few grapes in the yard, and plant some one or two of these plants behind the house to satisfy hunger, these are estimated to be picked from the old abandoned garden before!"
"The good garden is still there, then I'll wait to see it tomorrow" Hang Shangdong immediately decided to take a look at it tomorrow, for him, the old orchard is also a memory.
"I'll go with you tomorrow!" As soon as Hang Chen heard that he was going out, and that he was going to the orchard, he immediately asked to join the team.
"Okay!" Hang Xiangdong happily agreed.
The four of them ate around the table, which was naturally very warm for Wen Xu, even if Li Yumei and Hang Xiangdong lectured their little cousins from time to time, Wen Xu felt that it was full of strong home flavor.
Wen Xu's family is happy, in a small courtyard in the Xishan compound of the capital, it is also happy, an old man with white hair is now looking at it with a smile, cheering like a child-like middle-aged woman, this woman is wearing a red coat, while gesturing on the body whether it is suitable or not, while saying something to the old man, making the old man smile.
When people look at this scene, they can't help but think of an idiom: colorful clothes entertain relatives!
This woman is naturally Shi Shangzhen's aunt, this one has a habit, every time she goes back to Beijing, the first place she comes to is the old man's place, accompany the old man to have a meal, and then chat for a day and a half, or how to say that the old man of the Shi family has always liked this daughter.
At this time, Shi Shangzhen walked straight in, saw the aunt dressed like a clown in the house, screamed expressionlessly, and then walked towards his grandfather.
"Grandpa, how is your body feeling in the past two days?" Shi Shangzhen leaned into the old man's ear and asked.
"Okay, okay, why are you back, didn't you say you won't come back this month?" After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shi Shangzhen to answer, turned his head to the guard standing at the door and said: "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, go and talk to the kitchen, add one more dish in the evening, if you want to bring meat, just braised pork, my granddaughter is back!"
"Chief!" the guard was a little embarrassed, because the doctor told the old man to pay attention to his diet and eat less red meat.
Shi Shangzhen immediately said: "Don't braise pork, let's just have a fried beans with shredded pork."
"Hey!" the old man sighed: "These days have passed, and the light in my mouth is almost able to raise fish! I tell you, whether you are sick or not, it is not to see whether you eat meat or not, it depends on your mood, I am in a good mood now, so I can't die if I eat anything, and I will always stay in this world as a scourge!"
The old man is good at meat, but now everyone is allowed to eat it, and it is really uncomfortable for the old man to be born without eating meat.
"Then don't eat it!" Shi Shangzhen said immediately.
