That was many years ago......

That day, Qingqian was in good spirits, so he picked up the carving knife that had not been used for many years, and sat at the door like a door god for a whole morning, "painting the ground as a prison", holding a piece of wood and constantly fiddling.

Ning Ying was instructed by Qing Xuan to help him wash his clothes earlier, and only came back at this time. Ning Ying was a little taller than before, but it was still a little difficult to dry the clothes that were soaked in water and a little heavy. It took a lot of effort and time to barely dry Qingqiu's clothes.

wiped the water in his hand on the clothes on his waist, and shouted to Qing Xuan from afar: "Father-in-law, wash it"

Qing Xuan glanced up at him, lowered his head and continued to busy himself, "Hmm"

Ning Ying walked over and squatted in front of Qing Xuan, the light in her eyes was shining, "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"

continued to be busy with the things in hand, but he also took care of answering the villain's question, "Carving, I learned it before, and now I practice my hands to see if there are any hand students, how about it?"

Supporting her head with both hands, Ning Ying replied with some envy: "Well, my father-in-law is so powerful, I also want to be as powerful as my father-in-law."

Putting down the work in his hand, he pinched Ning Ying's little face with his free hand, "Does Ruyu want to learn?"

Ning Ying nodded and replied simply, "Yes"

"Okay, my father-in-law will teach you," Qing Xuan took out a smaller carving knife from the bag next to him and handed it to Ning Ying, and picked a piece of wood of the right size and material from a pile of wood for him.

A month later......

Qing Xiansheng looked at Ning Ying without love, occasionally carving him with his hand, and occasionally demonstrating by himself.

"No, how many times have I told you, the thumb should be placed in the place where the carving knife is placed, and you put it in the wrong place, too low. ”

"No, you have to carve curves, don't be in a hurry, don't turn directly, you have to take your time, and remove those extra wood obstacles to carve smooth and beautiful lines"

"It's not...... No, I said, haven't I been teaching you for almost a month? Why are you the same as the first day, you haven't grown at all? I've taught all the pigs, and I haven't taught you yet, so you just can't make it and can't change at all, right?"

Qing Miao scolded to the end, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply threw everything out of his hand.

"Father-in-law said nonsense, you haven't taught pigs, how do you know that you can teach pigs?" Ning Ying looked at him with some grievances.

"Don't call me, I don't have a stepfather like you......", suddenly realized that he was so angry that he didn't know what he said, so he stood up with his forehead up, "Whew...... I'm mad, I'm going to take a break, wait for me to get up, if you make such a mess again, I'll ......"

Qing Miao has always eaten soft rather than hard, but now Ning Ying sat on the small bench, raised her pitiful face, looked at him with teary eyes, and forced Qing Miao to swallow the second half of the cruel words, "I'll ...... I'll teach you again," and then he took off his clothes and went to bed in a huff.

Ning Ying looked at her father-in-law, who was sleepy, turned around and stretched out her little hand to the wood that Qingqian had carved for almost a month, and began to fiddle with it.

I don't know how long I lay down, and when I woke up, the light was a little dim, I rubbed my brows, and said in my heart: Is it so late?

Suddenly, the muscles in his legs were a little stiff, and he moved, and when he looked up, he saw a small head pillowed on it.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he picked up the villain and put it where he was lying down. Squinting around, I saw that the curtain on the windowsill had been closed and the door had closed, no wonder it was so dark.

Qing Xuan gently opened the curtain, the sunlight was a little dazzling, and it took a while to get used to it.

While walking to the bed, he stretched out his hand and pulled his neckline, and said in his heart: I shouldn't have slept for long, this sun is still hanging high.

Picked up the coat on the bed, put the back gloves on his body, and inadvertently saw something abrupt lying on the bed...... It was the wood that he spent a month carving.

Before he could figure out what to get, he carved out a stick handle, and the upper part of the wood remained in its original form. But now it was replaced by a round and not round sphere, with something carved on it, and the whole thing was a bit like a mallet.

It's all ruined.

Qing Xuan was a little angry, and her heart was like ashes and she picked it up and took a closer look, and she had mixed feelings for a while, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, but she couldn't find it.

There are two people carved on the mallet, one large and one small, although they are a little ugly, but they can barely see the human shape, and there are some flowers and plants dotted with white clouds next to them.

This is engraved with him and Ning Ying.

The little man on the bed seemed to be affected by this light, and his body in the quilt moved, opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed his eyes and sat up with his hands on the bed board, and shouted softly: "Father-in-law......"

Qing Miao was silent for a while, snorted like a muffled fart, "Hmm", then shook the mallet in his hand and asked, "You did this?"

Qing Miao stood against the light, Ning Ying couldn't see whether his expression was happy or angry, and she couldn't hear the emotions in his words, she was a little uneasy for a while, and replied timidly: "Hmm...... The Father-in-law does not ...... Do you like it?"

Qing Miao smiled helplessly, leaned over to take Ning Ying out of the quilt, and kissed him on the forehead, "I like it, Ruyu is really amazing, it's almost catching up with me."

Ning Ying was a little disbelieving, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his neck, and Shuishui's eyes looked at him blinking, "But ......"

"Let's go, my father-in-law passed by a place yesterday and saw a tree full of loquats, those loquat trees are big and yellow, do you want to eat them?"

"Think", Ning Ying took the mallet from her father-in-law and replied softly.

Qing Xuan's smile deepened a little, and she happily walked to the door with Ning Ying in her arms, and closed the door by the way.

Ning Ying stood under the tree, looking up at the monkey-like flexible green rope on the tree, the mallet in his hand unconsciously circled around near his head, and shouted excitedly: "Come on, come on, father, I want the biggest one."

Probably because he was too excited, the outline of the mallet gradually expanded, and the speed also increased.

A muffled sound of "bang ......" came, and the mallet that was still swinging happily just now struck Ning Ying's head steadily.

Hearing the strange sound, Qing Ying glanced down, only to see Ning Ying squatting with his hands holding his brain, motionless, he shouted down, "What's wrong?"

didn't get a response, Qing Miao thought something had happened to him, so he didn't care about the fruit, and hurriedly jumped down and patted the villain's shoulder, "What's wrong?"

Ning Ying stood up violently, and got into Qing Xuan's arms as if looking for milk, so fast that Qing Xuan only saw a blurred face, and pointed to the mallet lying on the ground alone, "It hit me"

Qing Miao couldn't cry or laugh, "Then the father-in-law went back and smashed it to pieces, so that it could no longer bully you." I'll see, come, my father-in-law will help you rub it, and the pain will fly."

"It hurts here", Ning Ying pointed to the back of her head. Qing Xuan's big hand was pressed on it, and he gently touched it a few times, "Then do you still eat big loquats?"

"Eat" Ning Ying nodded.

"Then you wait for me here, my father-in-law will pick it for you", Qing Xuan whispered, "Don't play with that mallet, be careful that it hits you again"

"Okay", Ning Ying nodded her head quite obediently.

Qing Miao quickly went up the tree and picked a few strings of loquat and put them in his clothes. After getting off the tree, he peeled two of them, one was stuffed into Ning Ying's mouth, and the other was eaten by himself, and then he pulled his son back satisfied.
