Chapter 143: Wukong
Every day after dinner, Fang Jing will tell a story, a big family, whether adults or children, are looking forward to Fang Jing's story, sometimes even before going to bed, Fang Jing has to tell a paragraph, Fang Jing is unwilling, eating and sleeping thunder can't move, sleep is sleeping, but I don't want to tell these little babies.
The weather is getting colder, every household has opened the mode of previous years, the greenhouse is indispensable, this is the economic source of every family, but can not be missing this economic source, although people are tired, but see the copper money at home slowly increasing over time, the heart is naturally happy, this year each family has raised at least two pigs, some villagers also raised four, Fang Jing's family raised four, of course, the largest head is the one left last year, and now it has grown to more than 300 catties, this is a big fat pig, The kind that can be eaten, Fang Jing originally wanted to kill it half a year ago, but Zhang Xiaoxia was unwilling, saying that she would keep it for the New Year.
This year can be said to be the biggest change in Fangjia Village, grain production has increased, bean production has increased, pigs have also increased, and even the population has increased by one, this is still Xiaoshi's daughter-in-law gave birth to a little daughter, Xiaoshi is tight every day, even Da Mao Ermao is like a baby every day, but others envy.
The changes in Fangjia Village in a year have made everyone's hearts more united, no matter how they are aligned, this makes everyone expect a better year every year, even if they wait until the little babies grow up, they say that they have a mother-in-law, they have something to eat, don't be so poor that they can't say that a mother-in-law can't say it, and the girl has to marry outside.
At present, the male babies in the village below are the largest in Fang Jing, and some are basically under the age of fifteen, it can be said that the mother-in-law can be said, but Fang Jing once said that the mother-in-law should be said after the age of eighteen, and the younger girls should give birth to children after the age of eighteen, so as not to make it difficult to give birth, it would not be very good.
Zhang Xiaoxia also often said two sentences, asking Fang Jing to say a mother-in-law as soon as possible, but Fang Jing didn't want to find a wife so early, she just hoped that when Fang Yuan grew up and got married, she would look at the situation with her own affairs, in fact, what Fang Jing was thinking about was that Fang Yuan was a little worried about marrying outside, but it didn't seem to be good to marry in Fangjia Village, they were all from the neighboring villagers, whether there was a blood relationship of three or five generations I don't know it, I don't know if there are five suits, if you really want to marry, the big head can be considered, anyway, the big head will enter the household of Fangjia Village in the future, It's better to find someone you can trust, of course, unless the little girl is willing, if she doesn't want to, then she has to choose herself.
"Jing Wazi, someone from my mother's house will come in a while." Zhang Xiaoxia said to Fang Jing a message from her mother's side.
"Uncle, you can make your own decisions, and you will be entertained when you come, don't lose others." Fang Jing didn't care about these, they were all relatives, just came, not outsiders.
Fang Jing continued to hold the carving knife, carving a puppet, surrounded by small trees, although he didn't know what Fang Jing was carving, but he was curious in his heart.
"Brother Jing, what are you doing at this moment?" It's rare for Xiaoshu to ask a question.
"This, wood carving, ready to carve a little person, do you see, does it look like a person?" Fang Jing held the wood carving to show the little tree.
"Brother Jing, this is not like this, there are no clothes and no eyes." Xiao Shu looked at it carefully, thinking that Fang Jing's carved things couldn't see a human figure.
"It's not that it's not finished yet, it's just the beginning, and you'll know if it's good or not when I'm done." Fang Jing didn't dare to make a guarantee, mainly because Fang Jing had never learned carving before, wasn't it boring now, so he thought about getting a wood carving to try his hand, maybe he could carve better in the future.
As Fang Jing's technique slowly became proficient, the speed would also increase, and the natural wood carving human form came out, although it was not very beautiful, but it could also be regarded as a puppet, not fine enough, it could only be said to be inferior.
"It's not pretty." When the little girl saw the puppet in Fang Jing's hand, she directly threw it to Fang Jing with a word, denying Fang Jing's first puppet work, and Fang Jing was so angry that she really wanted to kill this little girl.
Fang Jing ignored her, this little girl was a urine, and her skin was already like a monkey.
Fang Jing took another piece of wood and began to carve the style, Fang Jing wanted to carve a monkey out, she has been talking about Journey to the West recently, thinking about whether she can carve a Wukong, anyway, she will be a practice, if it is really carved and painted with some color, it can also be placed at home as a figure, it can be regarded as adding some style to the home.
Fang Jing's knife skills are indeed not very good, but this does not affect Fang Jing's interest, anyway, at this time, Fang Jing's heart is immersed in the carving in his hand, and he wants to carve this Wukong well, no matter how ugly it is, he carved it himself.
"Jing Wazi, what are you carving?" Fang Dayong walked into the courtyard and saw Fang Jing carving a piece of wood with a carving knife, like an animal, but it hadn't taken shape yet, just like an animal.
"Uncle Dayong is here, sit down and have a cup of tea, Xiaoshu, pour a cup of tea for Uncle Dayong." Fang Jing saw that Fang Da was used, and hurriedly said hello.
"Jing Wazi, what are you?" After Fang Dayong took a sip of tea from a bamboo cup, he asked Fang Jing.
"Oh, this, it's okay to carve and play." Fang Jing raised the wood carving that was still carving in his hand and said.
"Jing Wazi, Mura Zheng told me two days ago, can we kill the pigs in Fangjia Village?" Fang Dayong asked Fang Jing.
"Kill, if you don't kill, you can drag it to the county seat and sell it, but I think it's better not to sell it and only kill, now everyone in the village has some copper money, there is no need to sell the pigs, not to mention how much money it can't sell, it's still laborious, it's better to kill and give the dolls some longer meat, Uncle Dayong, you also know that the dolls in the village don't have a few taels of meat, isn't it better to eat more longer meat?" Fang Jing didn't stop the carving knife in his hand while speaking.
"Well, I know about this, I'm afraid that the rest of the village will not agree, but then, I'll talk to the village, it should be okay." Although Fang Dayong agreed with Fang Jing's statement, this copper coin is not inexhaustible, so why sell the pig.
"Okay, you can discuss it with the village, everyone has some relatives, you can send some out if you have more meat, you won't think anyone will have more meat at home, you can buy more coarse salt and make bacon." Fang Jing didn't want to get involved in these things, anyway, he didn't care too much, basically the village was in charge, at most he came up with an idea or something.
"Jing Wazi, this family has raised so many pigs, and I will need your help when the time comes." Fang Dayong spoke with some embarrassment.
"Okay, Uncle Dayong, just call me on the day of killing the pig, it's not a big deal to kill the pig, just arrange it, don't kill the whole village together, then I and Qian Shi will be too busy." Fang Jing thought about it for a while, and said to Fang Dayong, it is estimated that this is the true meaning of Fang Dayong today.
"Okay, then you can get busy, I'll go back first." Fang Da got up and left Fang Jing's house on crutches, and Fang Jing didn't stay, mainly because Fang Jing's mind was on carving wood carving.
Fang Jing has been carving the wood carving in his hand, completely immersed in it, and as the pattern in his mind is engraved on the wood carving, the wood carving in his hand is becoming more and more like Wukong.
"Wow, brother, you're good-looking, isn't this a monkey? It's so pretty, I want it, I want it. Fang Yuan led Xiong Er past Fang Jing, glanced at the wood carving in Fang Jing's hand, and hurriedly shouted to Fang Jing.
"Didn't you say I didn't look good? If it doesn't look good, it can't be given to you. Fang Jing stared at the little girl and said.
"I didn't say it, I don't know." Fang Yuan didn't recognize what he said not long ago, and shook his head to look around, looking like he hadn't said it.
"It's not done yet, I'll talk about it when it's done." Fang Jing was amused by the appearance of this little girl, for a wood carving, she didn't have the arrogant state just now, and at this time, she completely looked like she didn't recognize me when she was killed, Fang Jing had no words to describe.
"Brother, is this Wukong? Does my brother still want to be a Sanzang Master, Bajie, and Sha Monk? Fang Yuan sat on the chair next to him and looked at Fang Jing's monkey, thinking of the characters in Journey to the West, staring at Fang Jing and asking.
"Well, my brother still has to carve Master Sanzang, Bajie, and Monk Sha, and then you can form a team, isn't it the same as in the story?" Fang Jing stopped the carving knife in his hand, looked at the little girl and said.
"Well, my brother really has a bad history, but only Wukong, Bajie doesn't have it yet." Fang Yuan wanted to snatch the monkey from Fang Jing's hands.
"Don't move, I haven't finished carving yet, when I'm done carving for you, you can go to my side now." Fang Jing hurriedly stopped it, blasted away this little girl, lawless, and rushed to grab things.
"Hmph, bad brother." The little girl reluctantly left.
"Brother Jing, I also want to learn wood carving." Xiao Shu looked at Wukong in Fang Jing's hand, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, a wooden stick was in Fang Jing's hand, how could he become a monkey when he carved it, this is a craft, Xiao Shu thought that he could learn from Fang Jing.
"Okay, then I'll teach you." Fang Jing took a small carving knife and handed it to Xiao Shu, gave him a wooden stick, and carved it as he spoke.
Before making dinner, Fang Jing finally carved the monkey in his hand, at least Fang Jing was satisfied, in addition to not being colored, it looked a little better, if it was painted, it should be more like, holding a stick in his left hand and putting it behind him, his right hand was in front of his head as if he was looking at something, wearing a tiger skin skirt, if he painted some pale yellow on his body, it could really be said to be Wukong.
Fang Jing walked into the right room, in order to avoid the people at home, he had to ask the mute fairy for a box of paint in the right room, and after returning to the courtyard, he opened the paint box and began to paint Wukong with various paints.
"I want it, I want it, brother, you promised me, you can't cheat." Fang Yuan was originally playing with Xiaocao, but after seeing Fang Jing's painted Wukong, he ran over directly and pretended to be pitiful.
"Okay, my brother knows, I'll give it to you when the color is good and it's dry." Fang Jing has no choice about this little girl, who calls people small, who calls people so cute.
"Jing Wazi, is this Sun Wukong? It's so pretty. Zhang Xiaoxia also watched Fang Jing carve out Wukong, and looked very beautiful for the painted Wukong.
"Uncle, this is Wukong, don't you think it's okay?" Fang Jing felt that Wukong was Wukong, but he didn't have any aura and couldn't achieve that feeling of vividness.
"Beautiful, I really haven't seen such a beautiful wood carving, there used to be an old carpenter in Chenjiawan who could carve, but it wasn't so good-looking." Zhang Xiaoxia really didn't praise Fang Jing, mainly because she didn't color, if she did, it would probably look better than Fang Jing's doing.
