"This ...... Not quite right? ”

"Oops, what's so bad? My mother knows you too, and she likes you a lot! It just so happened that my mother told me to buy a chicken, as well as meat and bones, and let's have a good meal in the evening. Come, second brother, take the things! Shuangniang threw the things to the second brother Bai in the back, and enthusiastically pulled Ling'er to the direction of her yard.

Shuangniang's house is in the alley behind Yan's Restaurant, which is a very small courtyard, a hall house, two side rooms, plus a kitchen and a utility room, a well, a tree, and a stone table in the courtyard.

The walls were a thin layer of bamboo and mud, and the roof was originally covered with tiles, but most of the tiles had been broken and covered by the owner with thatch, and the east and west were like patches on clothes.

And there are large and small pieces of wood and wood stacked in the utility room on the right side of this small yard and at the door and around, but they are all scraps, and there are a lot of carpenter's tools and a few small wooden stools next to it, which should be the handiwork of the second brother Bai, right? Look at the appearance... Doesn't seem bad!

There is a figure shaking in the kitchen on the right side of the courtyard, and the voice of Aunt Bai can be heard, and at the door of the kitchen is a well-made wooden basin on one side, and on the other side is a medicine donkey whose lid is popping and jumping, and the air is mixed with a familiar medicinal fragrance.

"Mother, mother, come and see, who did I bring back?"

Aunt Bai came out of the kitchen while wiping her hands, and when she saw Ling'er, she immediately greeted happily: "Oh, it's a small stone!" It's great that you're okay, sit down, sit down! ”

Aunt Bai also enthusiastically pulled Ling'er to sit on the stone bench, took the things in the hands of Second Brother Bai, hurriedly went into the kitchen, and said loudly inside: "Little stone, you sit down for a while, the third aunt is busy now, I'll talk to you later, ah!" ”

Shuangniang smiled and rolled up her sleeves to help, and the second brother Bai went to the utility room to pick up unwanted waste materials as firewood, and Ling'er was bored to sit alone, so she rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to help.

But as soon as she entered, she was kicked out by Aunt Bai and Shuangniang, saying that it was not suitable for men to enter the kitchen, and there would be no interest in the future, so he had to go to the yard to play with Bai Second Brother and Bai Third Brother. Helpless, Ling'er had no choice but to return to the courtyard, at this time the second brother Bai was at the door of the utility room with a push handle to cut off a wooden strip, and the third brother Bai was writing seriously under the oil lamp in the hall.

In comparison, it's better to look at Second Brother Bai's side. She went to observe for a while, and saw that the second brother Bai was skillful and meticulous in workmanship, although some of the strength was insufficient, and some places were not handled well enough, but Ling'er believed that as long as he practiced well for a few years, he would be a good carpenter!

She looked around and picked up the finished stool next to her, which, although simple, was also very much a test of the carpenter's water. It seemed to be good, she put down the stool, and was about to sit on it to try, when the second brother Bai suddenly said, "Wait! ”

Ling'er raised her head: "Can't you sit on this?" ”

"No, that's the first stool I made with my own hands, I can only see it, I can't use it, I want to sit on this one!" Second Brother Bai picked up another one and handed it over.

"Second brother, Xiao Shi is a guest, so he speaks! Don't look at others who are small and have a lot of strength, even if they fight, you may not be able to beat him! Shuangniang picked up a pile of waste materials with her hands and feet and went to the kitchen.

Second Brother Bai swept the big handful of wooden sticks in Shuangniang's arms, and panicked: "Sister, don't take that, I still have to use that wooden stick!" ”

"Oh, you have to use it, you have to use sawdust, there are so many scraps in your master's shop, you can't just pick it up yourself! That's it, you two have fun, don't make trouble! Dinner is just around the corner! ”

Shuangniang ran away with Chai Hedong in her arms, and the second brother Bai stared at the kitchen door angrily, muttering and complaining: "Sister is really, every time it's like this!" How can the scrap be so easy to pick up, and there is no trouble when you want it......"

Ling'er thought about it, leaned over to Second Brother Bai and said, "Alas, Second Brother, what will you do?" ”

Second Brother Bai stood up, lowered his head and swept Ling'er to the end, and said a little unhappily: "My name is Bai Shuangcai!" ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, by the way, he is now a small person, but he calls a teenager who is a head taller than himself his second brother, which is really not polite! She laughed dryly and said, "Brother Shuangcai, my name is Xiaoshi!" ”

Second Brother Bai nodded, picked up the push handle and continued to work, Ling'er turned around and asked, "Hey, Brother Shuangcai, do you know how to make furniture?" ”

"What furniture?"

"Commonly used, such as... Tables, chairs, cabinets, beds, etc.? ”

"No wood!"

"The person who asked you to work has their own wood, will you do it?"

Second Brother Bai stopped to look at Ling'er: "Do you want to make furniture in your house?" ”

"This... Hehe, it's not my house, it's... It's a little sister I know! ”

"Little sister?"

"That's right, last time I went to the bazaar, I met a little girl doll, she looked very similar to me, we played together for a long time, it was quite compatible, I was a few days older than her, so I called her little sister! What do you think? Brother Shuangcai? Will you do it? If you know how to do it, when will I meet my little sister and help you ask! ”

Second Brother Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, looked at his hands, and then looked at his tools, and seemed to be very hesitant! After a while, he asked, "What is her family going to do?" How is the salary calculated? Is it food and lodging? ”

"This ...... Her family has only moved for a long time, and the usual furniture must be made! As long as your work is not too bad, wages, food and housing are naturally calculated according to the market price! Oh, by the way, I heard from my little sister that she really wanted a board car! Brother Shuangcai, do you know how to make a board car? ”

"Pallet car? I ......" Second Brother Bai was a little entangled, it didn't seem that he wouldn't, but he was afraid of losing the source of customers when he said it directly, Ling'er hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can make the wooden planks on the board car, you can buy and install the wheels, is it okay?" ”

Second Brother Bai still hesitated, and said after a while: "I... I'll ask the master, as long as the master knows, I promise to learn within ten days! When will your sister hire someone? ”

"I had to meet my sister to ask about this! Brother Shuangcai, do you really want to take over this business? ”

Before the second brother Bai responded, he heard Shuangniang laugh and said, "Oh, second brother, someone is looking for you to work, great!" You must fight for our family, do a good job, and do a good job!

Hey, by the way, little stone, your sister is not very old, is she? Definitely love gadgets! Second brother, quickly bring the little things you usually carve, and let the little stone show the little sister, maybe the little sister will settle you as soon as she likes it! ”

Second Brother Bai hesitated, Shuangniang unceremoniously ran back to the house and rummaged for a while, took out two beautiful wood-carved dolls and stuffed them to Ling'er: "Oh! This, little stone, you bring your little sister, by the way, help my second brother say a few good words, as long as they are willing to ask my second brother to work, salary... We only charge half of it, it doesn't matter if you have food and accommodation or not! ”

Ling'er held two small wooden dolls to play for a while, this is a man and a woman two children's wood carving, see the material should be hard roots carved according to its original shape, the characters are very finely depicted, the eyebrows and eyes are clear, the expression is vivid, if you can be a little more appropriate, it must be very popular!

I didn't expect that the second brother of Bai had such a craft at a young age, you must know that the root carving is a work of art, once it is famous, it is very profitable, and the second brother of Bai carpenter work is also good, but there is no practical experience, people are too young, and there is no wood, and there is little way to practice mobile phones, if you can provide him with some conditions, cooperate with him, maybe ......

"Hey, little stone, you are talking, is this wood carving doll good?"

Ling'er paused for a moment and nodded again and again: "Okay, very good!" Brother Shuangcai's craftsmanship is awesome, I like it when I see it, my little sister must like it more, I must talk to my little sister and her father, if they invite a carpenter, they must invite Brother Shuangcai! ”

"Great, great! Little Stone, you are really a noble person in our family! Mother, mother, Xiaoshi said that he was going to find a carpenter for the second brother...... "Shuangniang immediately ran back to the kitchen to report the good news.

Dinner, Ling'er and Shuangniang's family ate together, it was very lively and quite hearty. Shuangniang and his father Ling'er also saw it, he was actually a weak middle-aged scholar, looking at his face, this person must have been a beautiful young man when he was young, and Aunt Bai San's appearance was average, with a big figure and three thick, a straightforward personality, and a loud voice, how do the two of them look at how they don't match!

However, this family is still quite harmonious and happy, with such a big sister as Shuangniang, how can this family not be lively? Seeing that they were talking and laughing, Ling'er thought of the father and mother of Wangjia Village, they were worried and lonely for a few months, they felt distressed when they thought about it, and they would go back early in the morning!

The next morning, Ling'er set off with a bunch of dry food prepared by Aunt Bai, and was sent out of the town by Shuangniang and Bai's second brother all the way.

When she entered the forest, she returned to the temporary cave, and when she passed by the open space where she often traded with the three brothers of the Lin family, she found that there was an image left on the stone there, on which was a pile of wood, and the quantity and size were written next to it, this is the demand information left by the three brothers of the Lin family, look at the date, it has been almost ten days, and I don't know if they still want it?

Forget it, the most important thing now is to go home and have a look. She returned to the cave, changed her clothes, and carried her baggage in the direction of her house. When she arrived at the hillside behind her yard, she habitually climbed the big stone to watch for a while, there seemed to be guests in the courtyard, the father was weaving bamboo baskets, and the old lady was talking to a few guests, probably a few aunts who were familiar with the village.

Seeing their relaxed movements and happy laughter, most of them are here to celebrate, right? Great, I can finally go home, Ling'er ran down the mountain happily and rushed to her yard: "Dad, mother, I'm back!" ”

The courtyard was silent for a moment, and everyone turned their heads in unison, looking at Ling'er in a daze. Ling'er saw that everyone didn't seem to react, and repeated with a smile: "Dad, mother, I'm back!" (To be continued.)
