When I was in class the next day, Li Le, who was thinking about carving ebony ideas, suddenly felt a pain in his lower back, and then woke up.
Looking sideways, Li Siyun looked angry, and the mechanical pencil she was holding was obviously the murder weapon just now.
"Why did you poke me again?" Li Le felt like crying, and he didn't have a good day.
Li Le really wanted to ask her, did you take medicine today?
"Who told you not to pay attention in class?" Li Siyun occupies the highest point of classroom discipline, and looks like she is full of words.
"Then you didn't do that yesterday?" Li Le was puzzled.
"I bought the clothes you wore yesterday, so I was reluctant to poke them?" The little girl has a strange logic again.
When Li Le heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of depression and speechlessness and messy hybridization. The feeling is that the clothes are worn incorrectly.
"Shall I give you the money?" Li Le said depressedly.
"What? I'm telling you, bribing me won't work. Only by studying hard......" The little girl began to prepare for a tirade of education again.
Li Le directly interrupted her words, "I didn't want to bribe you, I just wanted you to help me buy a few more clothes, but I can buy it vigorously, and it is best to have a few sets in spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”
"Are you going to ask me out to go shopping? Why don't we go on a sweep tomorrow afternoon? The little girl squinted, with excitement on her face. There will be no classes tomorrow afternoon, so you can go shopping to your heart's content.
Li Le patted his head, and felt like he wanted to hit the wall, and sure enough, this girl's thinking was not something ordinary people could understand. Then he simply stopped talking, and looked at the old man who was lecturing in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was cuter than the witch next to him.
"Alas! Did you hear me talking to you, where are we going to go shopping tomorrow afternoon? ”
"I have something to do tomorrow afternoon."
"It's okay to go shopping after you're done, and you can have time tomorrow night!"
"There's something going on at night, too."
……
Throughout the class, Li Siyun didn't seem to stop. Li Le only felt that his head was buzzing, and his whole mental state suddenly dropped several levels.
Li Le, who had been annoyed all day, finally returned home tired. And the first thing he did when he got home was to wash the clothes Li Siyun bought for him, and then put them on the balcony to dry.
In the next two days, regardless of whether he took a bath or not, Li Le washed the clothes, dried them at night, and then wore them again the next day.
When she was in class again, Li Siyun suddenly asked Li Le, "Have you taken a shower in the past two days?" ”
Li Le sniffed his body, there seemed to be no smell, and then replied honestly: "I washed it, I just washed it yesterday."
Li Siyun curled her ruddy mouth and said: "Liar, you have been wearing this dress for the past two days, and you dare to say that you took a bath?" Why don't you change your clothes after taking a shower? ”
Li Le was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself that this was not all forced by you? But he still said: "This dress is beautiful, I washed it at night and dried it before wearing it, and I really took a bath yesterday."
"Really!" Li Lewei expressed his affirmation, and the chick nodded like a peck.
"Am I looking?" Li Siyun asked slyly.
"Good!" Without thinking, Li Le confided in the answer.
"Then I'll buy you two more good-looking ones, okay?"
"Good!" When Li Le heard this, he was even more happy, he was worried about having no clothes to change for the past two days.
"Shall we go shopping at night?"
"Good! Ah, not good. Li Le realized that he had been fooled, and immediately changed his words.
As soon as she heard the word badly, the little girl suddenly became a witch again, this time she didn't even feel distressed about her clothes, and immediately poked it with a mechanical pencil.
"Why do you want to poke this dress?" Li Le had a feeling that the protective shield had been broken.
"Don't think I don't know what you think, and think that wearing this dress is a talisman. It's a big deal, I'll buy it again, buy you a bunch, don't feel distressed if you poke it. ”
Looking at Li Siyun's expression, Li Le really didn't know if it was a debt owed in his previous life! I don't seem to have touched any women in my previous life? Could it be the previous life or another Li Le's previous life?
Li Siyun has been annoying Li Le to go shopping, but then it really can't work, Li Le said that he wanted to carve the sleeping beauty, and he was only let go after carving it tonight.
The nuclear carving has been carved for a while, and it's almost ready, and it's almost the same tonight when you carve a little more detail.
After school in the afternoon, Li Le went straight home, and at about seven o'clock, he began to put the finishing touches on the Sleeping Beauty nucleus.
The delicate and small carving knife began to draw the perfect curves on the nucleus, and after two hours, when the small brush cleaned the dust from the nucleus. The final appearance also appeared clearly under the light.
Beautifully small bed surrounded by green vines. The beauty is lying down, with a graceful and elegant posture. It's just that the face is a little familiar, Li Le stared at it, and finally the appearance of Liu Yunyao when she was sleeping appeared in her mind.
Li Le couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seemed that Liu Yunyao was sleeping, but it was imprinted in his mind. Even the nuclear carving was unconsciously carved into her face.
Seeing that the time was already past nine o'clock, Li Le rubbed his eyes and rested directly.
When Li Siyun saw the nuclear carving for the first time, her eyes were bent like crescent moons, and she obviously liked it very much.
Li Siyun looked at the nuclear carving in his hand over and over again all morning, and he didn't even have the heart to listen to the teacher's lecture. However, this also gave Li Le a rare quiet time.
Zhen Yan called him at noon, it was that the tools he needed had arrived, Zhen Yan was accepting, and he was in the warehouse at this time, asking him if he was free to come over and have a look.
Li Le thought that there were two more public classes in the afternoon, but he was not interested in anything, and it was just a little troublesome to name them. And tomorrow is a weekend, so Li Le doesn't want to stay in school at the moment.
After thinking for a moment, Li Le walked towards the outside of the school gate. When he came to the warehouse, Li Le saw a car parked in front of the warehouse, and Zhen Yan was directing people to go inside.
"Sister Zhen!" Li Le walked over and shouted at Zhen Yan.
"Huh? You're here? Come and see if these things are what you want, and by the way, see what is missing. ”
Li Le nodded, and walked towards the warehouse. The ebony had been covered by Zhen Yan at the moment, and Li Le secretly praised Zhen Yan's carefulness in his heart.
The tools that Li Le buys are mainly divided into five categories: one is the tool for measuring and drawing lines, the second is the tool for cutting, the third is the planing tool, the fourth is the tool for chiseling, and finally the tool for carving.
In addition, there are carving knives and machines for making hand-strung beads. These things will be useful in the future, so Li Le simply bought them all at once.
All the things added up to nearly 10,000 yuan, which was the best that Li Le didn't let Zhen Yan buy. However, Li Le of the flower is not distressed, with these things, ebony can create greater value in his hands.
After all the tools were placed, Li Le asked Zhen Yan to take him to buy a folding bed and some daily necessities.
The warehouse is still some distance away from home, and Li Le doesn't want to run back and forth every day, so he simply prepares to live directly in the warehouse for this period of time.
Zhen Yanzhi didn't say anything about this, she knew that Li Le must be planning to work overtime to get these things out of the hurry during this time, so Li Le said that she wanted to buy something, so she drove there.
When all the things were bought, Zhen Yan also felt tired and choked.
Li Le looked at Zhen Yan's forehead covered with dense beads of sweat, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart. However, he doesn't have a car, and more importantly, he doesn't have a driver's license, so he only has trouble with Zhen Yan.
"Sister Zhen, do you know where there is a registration point for a driving school?" Li Le thought about when he should go and get a driver's license. At this time, the driver's license is still very easy to get, basically as long as you pay the fee.
Unlike later, when private cars became popular, even driving schools were on the rise, and the identity of asking for people immediately changed from being begged for by others.
After experiencing the scene of going to the exam in the afterlife, I absolutely do not want to go again. It takes at least more than two months from registration to getting the certificate, which is still relatively good to learn. If you don't study well, you don't even know how many times you have to go through the make-up exam.
"What? Do you want to learn to drive? Zhen Yan was a little curious.
"I can drive, just to get a permit." Li Le's idea is to get a certificate in his hand. A driver's license is definitely something that won't rust when you put it in your pocket, so you don't have to get it when you need it.
"You know how to drive?" Zhen Yan was a little surprised, it seemed that there were always many unknown secrets in the person in front of her. From the original carving technique, to the later leakage of strange stones, the discovery of ebony, and the strange power, everywhere revealed that it did not meet the needs of his age.
"Yes!" Li Le replied casually.
"Then you drive my car, and I'll show you the way." Zhen Yan didn't care whether what he said was true or not, and was ready to go straight to the real thing. She wondered if Li Le really knew how to open at the moment, or if he was still a novice who hadn't been on the road.
"Huh? I don't have a driver's license, aren't you afraid of getting caught? For Zhen Yan's proposal, Li Le felt quite surprised, although the current world car has not expanded at a terrifying speed, but the iron law of traffic still exists, and it is not fun to be caught driving without a license.
"It's okay, it's still some distance from the city at this time, I'll see how you drive, I'll change you where there are a lot of people."
Seeing Zhen Yan say this, Li Le no longer said anything polite to her, directly took the key thrown by Zhen Yan, and after she got into the car, she skillfully started the car, and then ran smoothly towards the road.
After Li Le ran for two or three minutes, Zhen Yan knew that Li Le was not lying. There is no feeling of youth and fear, and sure enough, it will really open.
After taking him to the registration location, the two walked straight in.
The person who charged was a woman in her forties, and when she saw the two, she immediately showed a warm look.
"You're here to learn how to drive, right? Let's have a cup of tea first. With that, the woman handed the freshly brewed tea in her hand to Li Le, and then handed another cup to Zhen Yan.
"What's the price for you to learn to drive here?" Li Le went straight to the point.
"For the B license, the registration fee is 550, and the bus fee is 350. "The woman is skillful in holding the price, and obviously the business is very proficient."......
"I take the B license, people don't come, can 1500 be covered?" Li Le interrupted the woman's words and asked directly.
"Yes!" The woman was not verbose, and she did not hesitate at all when she heard Li Le's offer.
Li Le directly took out one thousand five from his wallet, and then handed it over, this is the money he gave Zhen Yan to order tools for him on the way just now, and took another 4,000 in his purse.
The formalities were completed quickly, Li Le just had to wait for the certificate after a while, and even Zhen Yan on the side was amazed at this speed.
In the following time, Zhen Yan sent Li Le to the warehouse and left.
Li Le began to slowly organize all the tools in different categories. Then the outer layer of ebony was treated.
Not all places are useful, ebony has been buried in the ground for so long, it is inevitable that there will be some rotten places, and there is no hole in the middle, these have to be dealt with before we can know.
After more than two hours, the exterior of the first section of wood has been cleaned. There is a hollow section in the middle, and the materials at both ends are quite complete, but the thickness of this section has been thinned at the moment, and it is obviously impossible to make a tea table.
After looking at it for a while, Li Le continued to clean up the next section, the second section was even worse, the entire wooden body was basically rotten ten centimeters down, and in the end, it became a flat piece of material. However, it is no problem to make two small tea tables.
The last paragraph is the thickest, though. But the cleaning is also the fastest, because the inside is better preserved, there is no hollow, and the remaining material after thinning is enough to make a small coffee table.
After cleaning up the three sections of ebony, Li Le suddenly felt like he was on the ground. At first, I was worried that if there was too much rot in these three pieces of wood, I was afraid that it would not be of any use to me. At least two tea tables and one coffee table at the moment, there is nothing to worry about.
Feeling that there was no sound at all in the silence around him, Li Le wanted to light a cigarette with his hand, only to find that the cigarette case was empty, and after looking at the time, he realized that it seemed to be late at night.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning. When I started working, I just wanted to sort it out as quickly as possible so that I could see what was inside. At that time, the spirit has been concentrated, until I don't feel tired, but now the spirit is relaxed, and I suddenly feel tiredness sweeping over.
After a casual wash, Li Le fell asleep on the bed he bought in his heart. Although it was just a folded spring bed, it didn't have the spacious, comfortable and soft feeling of home, but he still slept soundly.
