Jiang Xiaowan rang the doorbell, and soon a gentle voice came: "Xiaowan? ”

"Sister Meng, it's me." Jiang Xiaowan raised his voice.

The door opened with a "snap", Jiang Xiaowan pushed open the door and entered, and the two of them entered the living room together, and a slender and light middle-aged woman stood in front of the living room.

Fang Han took a look, this middle-aged woman still has charm, she must have been a big beauty when she was young, and it is an outlier for such a big beauty to bury herself in such a boring job.

Fang Han speculated that either this Meng Wan likes a dull life and doesn't like to interact with people, or she likes carving very much and is willing to be lonely, no matter what, she is not an ordinary person.

"Sister Meng!" Jiang Xiaowan rushed over, hugged Meng Wan, and said with a smile: "Long time no see!" ”

Meng Wan patted her shoulder and smiled, "You're finally back." ”

Jiang Xiaowan said with a smile: "I'll come back to rest for a while, and I'll be leaving again soon, I'm too busy!" ”

"It's much busier than you were at your old company." Meng Wan smiled: "But it's better to be busy when you're young, it's a good time to work hard." ”

"Sister Meng, what you say is old-fashioned!" Jiang Xiaowan pursed her lips and smiled: "You're not old!" ”

"I can't, I'm old." Meng Wan shook her head, looked at Fang Han, and nodded with a smile: "You are Fang Han, right?" ”

Fang Han smiled and nodded: "Hello Sister Meng." ”

"Listen to Xiaowan, you want to learn carving." Meng Wan smiled: "This is a lonely thing, can you endure loneliness?" ”

Fang Han smiled: "I'm just cultivating a hobby. ”

"You young people!" Meng Wan shook her head and smiled: "Sculpture is an art, endless, you need to graduate to pursue, you just have fun and you can't learn well." ”

Fang Han nodded and said, "I want to try it." ”

Meng Wan glanced at Jiang Xiaowan: "Okay, for Xiaowan's sake, come with me!" ”

If only the average person had told her that. She had already scolded people and run away, how could she be so presumptuous, carving is a serious and solemn thing.

It's just Jiang Xiaowan's boyfriend, that's another story, Jiang Xiaowan's vision is very high, her boyfriend is not too bad, and she is not in a hurry to make a judgment.

The three went upstairs. Arriving in a spacious room on the second floor, sunlight streamed in through floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating a stone platform by the window.

This stone platform, which is about three meters long and two meters wide, seems to be made of a piece of jade, warm and soft, Fang Han stepped forward and touched it, it is indeed a piece of jade.

Jiang Xiaowan smiled: "How about it, extravagant, right?" ”

Fang Han smiled: "Such a big piece of jade is rare. ”

"That's what happens to the rough jade." Meng Wan shook her head and said, "It's all fried, and it's still a stone in essence!" ”

Meng Wan continued: "You know the basic carving knowledge, right? ”

Fang Han nodded: "Read the book to understand some common sense." ”

Meng Wan said: "That's good, let's get started directly." I'm going to demonstrate. ”

She put on an apron next to her, a very delicate flower apron, which had a unique beauty after wearing it, and put on the glasses next to her, which made her look more and more intellectual.

She took out a piece of red wood from the side, picked one out of the row of carving knives, and then lowered her head and began to work, carving as she spoke. Explain your own techniques and ideas.

Fang Han stood quietly and listened, asking a few words from time to time. Jiang Xiaowan quickly yawned, waved her hand and walked out of the studio.

After an hour, Meng Wan stopped and put down the carving knife and the wood, which had already turned into the shape of a small bird, lifelike.

She took off her glasses and stretched, and breathed a sigh of relief: "This work is very physically demanding. It's hard to get older. ”

Fang Han smiled: "Sister Meng, you are really not old, why do you always talk about being old?" ”

"For a woman, forty years old is already old age." Meng Wan shook her head.

Fang Han said with a smile: "Forty years old is just a young man, looking at those stars on TV, which one is not as beautiful as a forty-year-old?" ”

"How can that be the same?" Meng Wan smiled: "How can I compare with those big stars." ”

Fang Han said: "Sister Meng's conditions are no worse than theirs. ”

"Okay, don't talk sweetly!" Meng Wan waved her hand and smiled: "Let's go see Xiaowan." ”

Fang Han said: "I want to try it." ”

"Oh. That's it? Meng Wan looked at him with a smile.

Fang Han said with a smile: "After watching Sister Meng's demonstration, my hands are really a little itchy. ”

"Okay, let's try it." Meng Wan took a piece of wood: "It stands to reason that when you just start learning, it's easier to start by carving radishes or melon slices or something like that, but I really don't have that here, so you can take this piece of cork and take it." ”

"I'll give it a try." Fang Han took it, picked a carving knife and lowered his head and began to carve it.

He started lightly as if carving plasticine, and the carving knife seemed to become extremely sharp, and Meng Wan was surprised to see it, and her eyes widened.

After a while, a small wooden bird appeared under Fang Han's knife, which was eight or nine points similar to Meng Wan's carving, as if it was baked out of a mold.

Fang Han put down the knife and handed the wooden bird to Meng Wan: "How is it?" ”

"You really didn't learn to carve?" Meng Wan took it and looked at it, shaking her head: "People are really angry compared to people, you are ...... talented."

She kept shaking her head as she spoke, and she could see that Fang Han's technique was jerky, but with her strong memory ability and strong hand strength, she carved this out of it.

If he undergoes systematic training, his carving skills will surely go thousands of miles, and it is not impossible to become a master of a generation in the future.

Fang Han said with a smile: "My talent is still good, but my time is limited, and I just want to use carving to cultivate sentiment and calm my body and mind." ”

"Sculpture is really a great way to meditate." Meng Wan nodded and said, "But your talent is rare, it's a pity not to develop in carving!" ”

Fang Han smiled: "I will work hard." ”

"Come back next time, I'll prepare and give you a please." Meng Wan groaned: "It can be seen that you have a high IQ and strong learning ability. ”

Fang Han said: "Thank you, Sister Meng." ”

"Thank you, let's go see Xiaowan." Meng Wan put down the wooden bird, the two went out of the studio and went downstairs, Jiang Xiaowan was watching TV in the living room.

She had a magazine in her hand, her eyes fixed on it, and her ears listening to television.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Jiang Xiaowan put down the magazine and said with a smile: "How is your study, Sister Meng, he is not a rotten wood, right?" ”

"Fang Han has a talent for this. And the talent is extremely high, which is really enviable, jealous and hateful! Meng Wan shook her head and sighed, "If you concentrate on developing in this area, you will definitely become a master." ”

"He's ......" Jiang Xiaowan shook his head and smiled: "He doesn't have enough time, it's difficult to focus on this, learn to usually entertain himself." ”

"Fang Han, what are you doing?" Meng Wan sat on the sofa and asked with a smile, "Time is so tight." Is it finance? ”

Fang Han shook his head and smiled, "I'm still a student. ”

"Wouldn't it?!" Meng Wan was taken aback.

Jiang Xiaowan made tea for the two, his movements were elegant and calm, and he had a moving charm, and said with a smile: "He is indeed still a student at MIT, and he has not graduated." ”

"MIT?" Meng Wan said suddenly: "It is said to be a devil's course, and it is true that time is tight, but you still have the leisure to come back and play?" ”

Jiang Xiaowan said with a smile: "He learned almost the same class, and he has something to do when he comes back, Sister Meng." I'm going to take Fang Han to see Old Hu again. ”

"Old Hu doesn't accept apprentices anymore." Meng Wan shook her head and smiled: "And he is not in good health, he has already closed the door, you have to eat the closed door." ”

Jiang Xiaowan said: "Is Hu Lao sick? ”

"Occupational disease." Meng Wan shook her head and sighed helplessly: "In the future, I will be the same, I have a problem with the neck cone, and I have a problem, and I can't do anything to treat it." ”

Jiang Xiaowan glanced at Fang Han: "Hu Lao is the only one left in the older generation of carving masters, and he has several unique carving skills. ”

Fang Han smiled: "Then I want to see it." ”

"Do you want to show Hu Lao's body?" Jiang Xiaowan asked.

Fang Han nodded: "No problem." ”

"That's going to be easy." Jiang Xiaowan smiled: "Let's go today!" ”

"You're in a hurry, too." Meng Wan shook her head and smiled: "Are you really sure to meet Hu Lao?" ”

"Absolutely!" Jiang Xiaowan said: "Old Hu's craftsmanship is so lost? ”

"No way." Meng Wan shook her head: "Old Hu doesn't accept apprentices, alas, ......." It's also strange that in that era, he was unlucky to meet such a white-eyed wolf. Break his heart! ”

Fang Han turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaowan.

Jiang Xiaowan said: "I just heard that it seems that Hu Lao took in an apprentice and trained him carefully, but he fought back during the special period and wanted to defeat Hu Lao, Hu Lao was completely sad." vowed not to accept apprentices from now on, and to bring this craft to the ground. ”

Fang Han nodded slowly, it was a special era, and too many of these grievances were created.

Jiang Xiaowan poured three cups of tea in a fair cup and handed them to them one by one. said: "Sister Meng, are you going to live alone, don't look for it again?" ”

Meng Wan took the teacup and shook her head: "I'm all this old, what I'm looking for, I'm used to being alone, and I'm not used to finding someone." ”

"I'm not used to it at first, but I'll get better slowly." Jiang Xiaowan shook his head and said, "It's not a problem for you to be such a person, what should I do when I'm really old!" ”

Meng Wan smiled: "It's good to be alone, I'm really old and can't walk, I'll go down with a bottle of medicine, and come and go freely!" ”

"You're so chic!" Jiang Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Sister Meng, what kind of conditions are you looking for now, you can't find it!" ”

"I don't have that mentality, I don't have that feeling." Meng Wan shook her head and sighed: "Besides, let's find an ordinary man, it's better not to find an excellent man, it's often difficult to find a little girl!" ”

"Shall I introduce you to one?" Jiang Xiaowan said with a smile: "I was originally a vice president of the company, my wife was sick, and the two of them had no children, so he was very honest." ”

"The vice president of your company is always a successful man, can he still be so honest?" Meng Wan shook her head and smiled: "Besides, how do you know that people don't want to find a little girl?" ”

"He wants to find someone to live a solid life." Jiang Xiaowan shook his head and said: "Besides, he doesn't like little girls, there is a generation gap, and he wants to find a wife like a confidant, who can talk to him." ”

"There is no shortage of intimate women for successful men like him." Meng Wan said with a smile.

Jiang Xiaowan said angrily: "Sister Meng, you are really troublesome, do you want to see it?!" ”

Meng Wan smiled: "You are more anxious than me!" ”

Jiang Xiaowan snorted and said, "Sister Meng, you are a good time now, when a woman's charm is the strongest, you really can't find a good man for a few more years!" ”

"It depends on fate." Meng Wan said.

"Fate won't fall from the sky, how can you meet fate if you don't go out every day?!" Jiang Xiaowan said: "It's so decided, I'll make an appointment with him today!" (To be continued......)
