The cuckoo was speechless.

And he warned him not to say this, for it would lead to jealousy, and they would think that he was deliberately mocking.

Speaking of the wood carving he was about to make, the cuckoo said, "You have to brew it well." Although I have done it before, I have a draft in mind, but it takes a long time to do this large, and it is much more difficult to immerse myself in a state of passion for a long time; It's not as good as that small screen, which can be done in one go. ”

Lin Chun nodded and said that this is exactly the truth.

The cuckoo said, "As far as this topic is concerned, this may be the best you have done in your life, and you may not be able to do better in the future." ”

Huang Li asked strangely: "In the future, if your skills improve, of course you can do better." How can you say that you can't make a better one? ”

The cuckoo looked at Lin Chun and asked, "Do you know what the reason is?" ”

Lin Chun shook his head slightly and looked at her puzzled.

Du Juan said: "These four screens depict four pictures respectively, but they all express one meaning, that is, 'youthful sharpness'!" At your age, it's a time of passion and vigor, so it's easy to incorporate that vigor into your work. And as you grow older, your experience also increases, and your mind inevitably becomes cautious. Compared with when he was younger, although he is more skilled and insightful, he likes to judge the situation, plan and then act, and must make sure that he has no last resort. Young people are different, sometimes knowing that there is no chance of winning, they will also rush forward with enthusiasm without hesitation. Therefore, even if you improve your skills in the future, you may not be able to perfectly interpret this kind of youthful sharpness, because the mentality is different. ”

Liang Qichao's "Juvenile China Says" came to her mind, and the complete version of "Juvenile China Says" has a series of comparisons between teenagers and the elderly. It profoundly analyzes the different mentalities of life at two ages.

To put it simply, people grow with age. The mind becomes more and more meticulous, and at the same time, it will lose the indomitable youthful spirit. Older people rarely retain the momentum of youth. Even if you have pride and courage, you must plan before acting, thinking twice before acting, which is different from the sharpness of a young man.

Lin Chun was solemn after hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "I must do it well." ”

Outside, when Huang Yuan heard this, he woke up from his reverie, got dressed up, and was about to enter the house. However, at this time, he heard Lin Chun in the house talking about other things, and suddenly stopped again, wanting to listen to how the cuckoo answered.

Inside, the cuckoo continued to sew clothes, and the yellow bird began to sew pillowcases.

Due to the hot weather, the hands are easy to sweat, and when the needle is removed, it is very laborious to pull out and slip. She had no choice but to take out a handkerchief and keep wiping it. When I am upset. A cool breeze blew. When I looked up, it turned out that Lin Chun was holding a big pu fan in her hand, shaking it sideways, helping her and Huang Li fan the wind.

Lin Chun fanned on the side. While persuading: "Don't do it. Take a break. It was too hot. Aren't I going home with you next time, I'll just wrap up my winter coat and bring it. ”

The cuckoo looked at him and smiled, "Bring?" Are you still wearing last year's clothes? You don't want to think about how much taller you've grown than last year. The eldest aunt sews clothes for you every year. I can't keep up with the speed at which you grow taller, and your eyes are going blind. The back is hunched! ”

After saying that, bow your head and sew again.

Lin Chun was speechless when he heard this.

The cuckoo didn't hear him answer, and looked up. The boy was staring at her, gently shaking his fan. The black eyes were no longer as innocent as before, as if they were full of a thousand words, and endless affection filled them, and they overflowed after a flicker.

She chuckled in her heart.

The boy has grown up and opened his mind!

She smiled bitterly and thought, fortunately, he was recommended by Zhao Yushi to enter the academy.

In addition to temporarily separating from her, after studying for a few more years, my horizons have been broadened, and I have seen more people, so I guess I will no longer be obsessed with her.

So, she smiled at him deliberately: "You don't have to be too grateful to me. I did this because my aunt had grown up with me. When I was young, I heard about the family affairs that your father set for us, and I thought he had calculated my father. I swore at the time that I would make a mess of your house and make your father have an uneasy birthday. ”

Lin Chun couldn't help but smile and asked, "Then why didn't you make trouble?" ”

While "hula" speeding up the fan, he looked at the cuckoo with sparkling eyes, obviously liking this topic.

The cuckoo pouted, "You think I don't want to?" I want to harm your family all day long, but Brother Qiusheng, Brother Xiasheng, and you are all so good, I can't do it! ”

Huang Li laughed loudly when he heard this.

Lin Chun looked at the cuckoo with a smile, but he was very happy in his heart.

He leaned closer to her and interceded for the big father, "My father is a little stingy, but he is actually very good." He genuinely likes you. He often said that if he could give birth to a girl like you, he would wake up laughing when he fell asleep. ”

The cuckoo complained, "Good what? Do you dare to say that he didn't calculate my father? ”

She remembered the days when she was breastfeeding, which was what she heard Lin Datou and his wife say. It's a pity that he can't tell Lin Chun about this, otherwise he will treat her as a monster.

Lin Chun was about to speak, when Huang Yuan and Zan Xuji walked in and asked with a smile, "How do you calculate our father?" ”

Huang Li stood up in surprise and called, "Brother is back?" ”

Hurriedly put down the needlework in his hand, and while giving up his seat, he walked to the table to pour tea. Although she had seen Zan Xuji, she was not familiar with him, and he was a young man, so her face was red and she didn't dare to look at him.

Du Juan and Lin Chun also greeted the two of them, and asked again, "When did you come back?" Did Miss Chen find it? ”

Huang Yuan shook his head, took the tea brought by Huang Li, drank it in one go, and untied the folding fan from his waist, fanned it gently, and slowly told Du Juan about the past few days.

They also asked about the whereabouts of Chen Qingdai's master and servant, who were heading to the east. However, after chasing them for two days, there was no trace of them. It's not a problem to go on like this. Zan Xuji came out and found the gang boss who ran the boat on the river, and together with the shops in the east of the Zan Mansion, he came back as soon as he got the news. After the arrangements were made, they returned.

Seeing that Huang Yuan looked tired, Du Juan persuaded him a few words.

Zan Xuji looked at Du Juan and said, "As soon as I came back, I heard Miss Huang's high talk and benefited a lot. At such a young age, the girl has the demeanor of the master of the academy when he was lecturing, which is really admirable! ”

The cuckoo had no time to be polite with him. Turned his face to glare at Huang Yuan and said, "Are you eavesdropping?" ”

Huang Yuan smiled and said: "It's not eavesdropping, it's listening generously." I think you're wonderful. Don't dare to come in and disturb you, so as not to disturb your train of thought. ”

That's it. didn't give her a chance to react, and continued: "Brother Zan has been running around with me for a few days, and it's very hard. I want to invite him out to eat, and he must come here to eat, saying that the dishes made by the second sister and the younger sister are delicious. Why do you have time to gossip and not cook? Or are you going to take your parents shopping at night and want to go out to eat? ”

The cuckoo laughed and said, "It's really unfortunate. We didn't cook dinner for the past two days, and we all ate at the inn. ”

While talking about the situation of teaching the craft in the past few days.

Huang Yuan stretched out his hands towards Zan Xuji and said, "This is no way. It's too late to make it ready. Brother Zan might as well go home and eat. ”

Zan Xuji looked at him and said, "What do you want to drive me away for?" It's not like I can't eat the food at the inn. Since Miss Huang and Brother Lin are discussing knowledge, why don't we join in. In the next though not talented. I also know some fur, maybe I can make Miss Huang and Brother Lin gain something. ”

Huang Yuan chuckled and said, "I was afraid that I would snub you, so I said that." If you don't dislike it, you should stay, how can I drive you away? Why should you be humble? If you are also considered 'not talented', there will be no 'high talent' in the college! ”

Seeing this, the cuckoo hurriedly got up and said, "You talk." Huang Li and I went to the kitchen to have a look, and we were ready to eat. If there is still fresh food, make another one. lest the prince of Zan be unaccustomed to eating. ”

Huang Yuan nodded and said, "It's okay, we're hungry too." ”

So, the cuckoo and the yellow bird packed up the needlework and went out.

Zan Xuji looked at her back and was very depressed.

He came for people, not for food.

The cuckoo is gone. It wasn't until after eating that he didn't show up again.

Although Huang Yuan and Lin Chun have been talking with Zan Xuji, there is no cuckoo. He felt that he had lost the interest of the previous conversation, and left after the meal.

Besides, after the cuckoo and the others ate. Everyone took turns bathing, and then sat in the courtyard to enjoy the shade and gossip.

Huang Yuan said that he would take his family to visit Fucheng tomorrow. Because he mentioned the opening of a private school, he said that he would buy some books, paper and pens and other things to bring back; He also asked Ren Sanhe if the mountain road was particularly difficult to travel, and whether the paper was difficult to transport in.

A sentence reminded Du Juan, and he hurriedly said: "It's okay to buy pen and ink from outside, but it would be too troublesome if all the students' paper was also transported in from outside the mountain." We've got to figure out how to do this. ”

Huang Yuan's heart moved, and he said, "I'll think about it." ”

The cuckoo wondered, "What do you do?" ”

Huang Yuan pretended to be profound: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked, and I will tell you in two days." ”

Lin Chun asked tentatively, "You don't want to make paper in our village, do you?" Anyway, there is a lot of bamboo in the mountains. I once read a book that said that although some local methods of papermaking are laborious, they are not very difficult. ”

Huang Yuan looked at him with his mouth wide open, and only said depressedly after half a sound: "Cuckoo is right, I'm really jealous of you!" Can't you hide it? How embarrassing are you for me! Well, I just want to make my own paper. ”

As he spoke, the cuckoo and oriole laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Lin Chun scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I just guessed." But papermaking is also troublesome, too time-consuming and laborious, and no one in our village has ever done this. Well, I can improve the water mill in the village and use water to drive the stone mills. ”

The cuckoo hurriedly shouted, "The hydraulic press is better." Lin Chun, after you finish this wood carving, don't promise others to do anything else, and make the hydraulic press with peace of mind. Tell the masters of the academy about the problems you are experiencing, most of them are knowledgeable and talented, and perhaps someone will have the idea to help you solve the sealing problem. When this invention is completed, it will be meaningful, and it will be beneficial to farming and life, and maybe it will be remembered in history. ”

Huang Yuan listened and hurriedly asked what was going on with the hydraulic press.

Lin Chun told him about it.

Because the dictation was not vivid, he took a pen and paper to draw.

For this purpose, the cuckoo lit a lantern and lit it for them.

By the time Huang Yuan understood everything, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

He shook the folding fan and laughed, "Well, maybe I can really help." ”

Lin Chun's eyes widened and said, "Really? I've been worried for years, but I can't get it out; When you listen to me once, you think of a way, I'm really jealous of you! ”

When everyone saw that he also learned from the cuckoo's words, they laughed together.
