Hearing him say this, Lu Ming patted his thigh excitedly, "What I was waiting for was your sentence, but before you said that you washed your hands in a golden basin, so I didn't tell you clearly!"

When he saw Xiao Li a few times before, he had heard that he wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, and his attitude at that time was very resolute, and it was precisely because of his attitude that he made such a big turn this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xiao Li glanced at Old Man Yang's bedroom with a complicated expression, and shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention the past, who is still willful."

His current attitude was something that Lu Ming didn't expect at all.

In the evening, a regular taxi with high beams, slowly drove into a dilapidated and no street lamp to illuminate the village, due to the village private construction of too much, the original wide two-way road, has been squeezed into a one-way road, the road surface is even more dilapidated, under the reflection of the high beams, you can see the waste water sprinkled on the street everywhere, under the action of low temperature, has condensed into a thick ice surface, the ice surface is more filthy sanitary products mixed in, potholes and potholes, so that the driver's face adds a little helplessness.

"Good fellow, master, it's hard enough for you to live in this place!"

Xiao Li nodded noncommittally, "Hey, here has always been said to be demolished, the village people finally got a chance to make a fortune, how can there be no reason not to cherish, this painstaking expansion of the small house, is not just to make more money, it turns out that there is a garbage dumping point here, since the rise of the building atmosphere, this point has been cleaned up and built, the villagers have no place to go to the garbage, so they have to deal with it nearby, and the sanitation in the village will generally be cleaned up street by street the next morning."

"This is a job!" The driver saw that Xiao Li had a soft temper, and he didn't have any scruples when he spoke, but Lu Ming, who was sitting in the back, didn't do anything when he heard this

"What do you mean by this job? If you don't have a job, you just drive to sweep the road, you know? That's all you do, and you're not happy to quit!"

"The little brother has a big temper, so I'll just say it in passing, I don't mean anything else," the driver hurriedly explained with a smile.

In the end, the taxi stopped at the mouth of a narrow alley, and when Lu Ming just got out of the car holding the wood, he almost slipped on the yellowed ice on the ground, but fortunately, Xiao Li was quick and dragged him so that he did not lie on the solidified urine.

"Be careful, there's ice everywhere here, you have to be careful under your feet," he said, Xiao Li led him into the alley, and when he came to a rotten wooden door, he stopped, raised his hand and slapped it a few times, 'Bang, Bang, Bang'

"Who? is it a good carving?" After the sound of an old man talking back from the courtyard, the door light in the courtyard was lit up, and the sound of dragging footsteps came from far and near.

Xiao Li hurriedly put his mouth against the crack of the door and shouted, "Mom, it's me, open the door"

After the wooden deadbolt sounded, a thin old lady wearing a shabby cotton jacket and silver hair appeared in front of Lu Ming, "Bring friends, hurry into the house, it's cold outside"

As he spoke, the few remaining yellow teeth fell.

Xiao Li directly brought Lu Ming into the wing, as the lights turned on, a lame wooden table, neatly placed various styles of carving tools, carving knives, small stalks, pistol drills, although the tools are a little outdated, but they have been wiped clean, compared to the dusty wooden furniture in the house, these neatly placed carving tools are cared for by the owner.

"Master Li, it's time for us to change this thing, in a few years, you can sell it as an antique" Lu Ming casually picked up a carving knife and joked with a smile.

"I can't afford to change this, you look at the material of the handle of the carving knife" When Xiao Li replied, he had already turned out the box ruler and began to measure the rosewood material, and from time to time he would use a black pen to draw a few arcs on it.

Lu Ming looked at the slightly purple hilt under the light and pondered for a long time, and found that the brown eyes on it were arranged quite distinctively, three or five brown eyes could form a wheat-like style, the handle was not long, but the dark lines on it were indeed as comfortable as flowing clouds, just when he frowned, he suddenly remembered that the color and texture on the handle and the sorting of brown eyes were just like the handball given by Pu Ye.

"I see, your handle is made of sea yellow, and it's Kang Li, right?!"

His decisive answer made Xiao Li stunned for a moment, and then nodded appreciatively, "Okay, some eyesight, my set of guys was handed down by the old man, but the eyes of 258 can't see the material of the handle."

"That's, we're also a Kaiwen play store, look at this thing is not a problem" Although the smug color was overflowing, but after all, there was still a cold sweat in my heart, if it wasn't for the opponent ball as a staff officer, I would have really been asked by Xiao Li people today.

As he spoke, Xiao Li had finished the preparations, and then walked to the lame table with the wood, pulled out a small handbag from the gap between the table and the wall, and began to greet him, although the tools were backward, but Xiao Li manipulated it well, and as the purple sawdust flew down, the room was instantly filled with a smell similar to the smell of cream.

Just when Lu Ming was sniffing the fragrance vigorously, Xiao Li's mother walked in with a small apple that had just been washed, "Young man, give you an apple"

"Oh, Auntie, you're too polite" Saying that, Lu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to take the small apple with water droplets attached to the surface, and then took a big bite, and after chewing, he smiled innocently, "This fruit is so sweet"

Looking at his eating appearance, the old lady smiled, and then asked, "You are a friend of my family, right?"

Lu Ming hurriedly nodded, "Yes, I've known Brother Li for a while, and today I asked Brother Li to help make something."

"Mom, go back to the house and rest, there is a lot of sawdust in this house, your lungs are not good, don't stand here!" Xiao Li stopped what he was doing, walked over quickly, and walked out of the door with the old lady in his arms, and when he was about to go out, the old man stopped and turned his head, and said to Lu Ming in a slightly expectant tone, "Be kind and talk less, if you have time, talk to him more"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll play with Brother Li if it's okay in the future!" The old lady's eyes reminded Lu Ming of his mother, and he nodded busily.

After Xiao Li returned, without too many words, he walked straight back to the lame wooden table and continued to work, although the room was fragrant, but the dull and monotonous sawing sound made Lu Ming feel a little depressed, and after a few turns back and forth, he had to take the initiative to find words

"Brother Li, the old lady has lung disease?!"

"Well, my mother worked in an asbestos factory when she was young, and the old lady had to breathe hard in recent years, but she didn't take it seriously, and last month it suddenly became serious, and when she was checked, she found that the old lady was suffering from pneumoconiosis, although the state can give some care, but the family conditions are too poor, and the time to see a doctor is constantly delayed, so that the old lady now has to sit every night to sleep" As he spoke, he had sawed off the useless parts of the wood, and the shape of the whole piece of wood had changed a lot from before, forming a semicircular arc at both ends and in the middle, and the edges and corners were gradually rounded.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was stunned, no wonder he felt that Li's mother was outrageously thin, and her feelings were also because of poor sleep, so she was forced to boil like this.

"This disease is so domineering, in this case, why don't you send your wife to the hospital quickly!"

Xiao Li stopped the wooden saw in his hand and shook his head helplessly, "I think so too, but the conditions at home are really not good, not to mention that this disease is an occupational disease, and once it is suffered, it cannot be cured at all, it can only be alleviated through medical treatment, the old lady also understands this situation in her heart, so she doesn't want to burden me, I don't want to go to say good or bad, today I wanted to go to Uncle Yang to borrow 50,000 yuan and send her to the hospital, but I didn't expect the old man's situation to be worse!

This sigh actually contains the despair that young people should not have, as if they have seen through the cold and cold of the world.

"With your craftsmanship, it's not like this, not to mention that this is a material age, just relying on temporary stubbornness, it is not good for yourself, why not go back to the old business, even if it is for the old lady, it should be" When Lu Ming spoke, he came to the table, picked up the red sandalwood material that fell on the ground, and observed it in the light, wanting to see if there was a gold star in the material.

Xiao Li picked up the file and began to "squeak, squeak, squeak" along the body of the wood.

"I think so too, but Zhao Yidao suppressed me very hard, and threatened, as long as there are merchants looking for me to work, I will never take the job of the family, now the beads are the mainstream of the market, he has advanced processing lathes in various markets, high efficiency, the lowest price, the amount is more preferential, the merchants are not stupid, naturally will not take this risk, not to mention that I have not become famous, the big carvings are the same for everyone, now it's not that I don't want to go back to the old business, but I can't go back to that circle!"

His decoration technique is extremely capable and powerful, between chatting, the edges and corners of the wood have been flattened, an old-style wooden sleeper style has been basically formed, a gentle arc, connecting the two ends of the wooden sleeper, the height of the low end of the arc to the desktop is about six or seven centimeters, people lie flat and put their heads on it, they will not feel too high, if they feel low, you can put something on the lowest part of the arc to increase the height.

Xiao Li held up the semi-finished rosewood pillow with one hand, leveled with one eye, and after looking back and forth a few times, nodded with satisfaction, and then put it back on the table, opened the drawer in the center, took out four stacks of sandpaper, lined up on the tabletop, put on cotton gloves with both hands, picked up the pile of sandpaper on the far left, and began to polish the wooden sleeper quickly, and in an instant, a layer of red powdery sawdust fell on the tabletop, with the increase in the thickness of the sawdust, the surface of the sleeper became more and more bright, until the fourth pile of sandpaper was exhausted, the body of the rosewood sleeper was like a thin layer of sugar coating, extremely bright。

"Okay" After checking it again, and confirming that there was no obtrusion in the wooden sleeper, Xiao Li handed it to Lu Ming.

When Lu Ming's palm brushed the surface of the wooden sleeper, he felt that it was smooth and delicate like a baby's skin, and unconsciously praised it, "This craftsmanship is amazing!"
