Chapter 72: The Kite (2)

After that day, Lu Yunque never mentioned the kite again, as if he had never seen that kite, but Mu Yunsheng knew that Lu Yunque really liked that kite, otherwise he wouldn't have to run away in a hurry every time he walked past that stall, otherwise he wouldn't have painted a swallow-shaped kite when he painted. ，

Looking at the way Lu Yunque thought about the swallow kite day and night, Mu Yunsheng always felt that he should do something and spend money to buy it? Fifty yuan, that's too expensive, and I don't have that much money for a while.

On this day, Mu Yunsheng sat in front of the TV and watched TV, and saw that someone on TV was introducing kites, and after watching it for a while, Mu Yunsheng immediately had an idea in his heart, "It doesn't look like it's very difficult, isn't it made of bamboo and cloth, it's better to make it yourself." ”

Mu Yunsheng made up his mind in his heart, and the next thing is to prepare the things to be used, first of all, he needs bamboo to make the frame.

Need bamboo, isn't it easy to find bamboo? Mu Yunsheng knew that bamboo was planted in Qian Huaiyuan's house, and because Qian Huaiyuan was selling lo-mei, he had to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy it.

So Mu Yunsheng took advantage of Qian Huaiyuan's morning when he went out to buy things, climbed over the wall into Qian Huaiyuan's yard and pulled out a few bamboos, but Mu Yunsheng's front foot just turned out of the yard, and the back foot was grabbed by the money that came back from buying things, "I thought it was who, turning over my yard!" Is it Little Liu'er? Xiao Liu'er, you are idle and have nothing to do, what are you doing to harm my bamboo? Let's go and reason with your brother-in-law. ”

"Uncle Money, Uncle Money, don't go to my brother-in-law, I, I didn't do anything bad, I just wanted to make two bamboos to make a kite." Mu Yunsheng hurriedly explained to Qian Huaiyuan.

"Making kites? Little Liu'er, why did you suddenly remember to make kites, what's the use of making kites in this winter? Qian Huaiyuan looked at Mu Yunsheng with a serious look, couldn't help laughing, and pulled Mu Yunsheng to ask with a puzzled expression.

"Make one for my girl, my girl, I saw a kite last time, I like it very much, but ah, it's too expensive." Mu Yunsheng looked at Qian Huaiyuan and muttered.

"Too expensive? Then I guess your girl is interested in handmade kites made by others. Qian Huaiyuan, hearing Mu Yunsheng say this, immediately asked with a smile.

"Probably, I heard from the kite seller that the paintings on it are all painted one stroke at a time, and each kite is different." When Mu Yunsheng heard Qian Huaiyuan's words, he immediately nodded and said seriously.

"In this way, that kite is indeed quite expensive, but Xiao Liu'er, do you know? The two bamboos you have are not suitable for making kites, they are too thin, you have to choose the older ones, and then use the middle part of them to make kites. Qian Huaiyuan looked at the two bamboos in Mu Yunsheng's hand, smiled helplessly, and said seriously.

"Then, I'll plant it for you." Mu Yunsheng looked at the bamboo in his hand, and then looked at Qian Huaiyuan and said seriously.

"I can't plant it back, the roots are broken, forget it, let's go in and choose a good one to make a kite for you." Qian Huaiyuan touched Mu Yunsheng's head with a smile and said.

When Mu Yunsheng heard Qian Huaiyuan say this, he immediately raised his head and asked with a smile, "Uncle Qian, do you know how to make a kite?" It's the girl's birthday in a while, and I want to make her a kite as a birthday present. ”

"Then what kind of kite are you going to make, if you want me to say that you should make a simple cross kite, the shape of the kite is relatively simple, and the painting is very beautiful." Qian Huaiyuan saw Mu Yunsheng's serious look, so he continued to ask with a smile.

"I don't want to be an ordinary kite, my girl saw a kite in the shape of a swallow, and I'm going to make that." Mu Yunsheng said solemnly.

"Little Liu'er, it's not easy for you to make a swallow kite, the skeleton of a swallow kite is more troublesome than an ordinary kite, and the skeleton is not easy to make, have you really thought about it?" Qian Huaiyuan heard Mu Yunsheng say that he wanted to make a swallow kite, so he asked with a smile.

"Of course, I just want to make a swallow, and I'll make a kite, exactly the same kite as the one my girl saw last time." Mu Yunsheng nodded and replied with an affirmative face.

"Okay, since that's the case, let's go and choose a suitable bamboo first, okay?" Qian Huaiyuan smiled, touched Mu Yunsheng's head, and said seriously.

Qian Huaiyuan and Mu Yunsheng picked a bamboo tree of moderate thickness, and Mu Yunsheng was about to start making a skeleton, but was stopped by Qian Huaiyuan.

"Xiao Liu'er, don't worry, now this bamboo has just been cut down, and it can't be used to make a scaffold, because there is still a lot of water in it, even if you do it well, the water in it will be deformed after a long time, so you have to wait for these bamboos to dry up before you can start making scaffolds." Qian Huaiyuan looked at Mu Yunsheng and smiled, and explained seriously.

"It's so troublesome, I thought I'd be able to make a kite soon." Mu Yunsheng looked at the bamboo on the ground, sighed, and said reluctantly.

"How can it be so simple, wait for two days when the bamboo is almost dry, before you can start to do it, or I'll help you do it, and I'll give it to you when I'm done, and then you can give it to people, okay?" Qian Huaiyuan looked at Mu Yunsheng, who had a sad face, and said with a smile.

"That's not good, this is the kite I gave to the girl, I must make it myself." Mu Yunsheng shook his head again and again when he heard Qian Huaiyuan's suggestion, and refused.

Qian Huaiyuan saw Mu Yunsheng's serious look, nodded with a smile, and patiently explained, "Okay, anyway, I'm okay now, I'll talk to you about the process of making kites, and when these bamboos are dry, you have to use a knife to cut them into bamboo strips that are not thin or thick, and then, put these bamboo strips together to become the frame of the kite, and wrap them around the joints with threads, so that they will not be easy to get out of shape." ”

"And then just paste the paper?" Mu Yunsheng continued to ask.

"It's quite simple to say, but if you want to fly a kite, you still have to use the kind of paper that is special for kites, the kind of paper that is thin, but tough, and this kind of paper is more suitable for kites." Qian Huaiyuan continued to laugh and explained with a squint.

"Can't you use ordinary paper at home?"

"Of course not, the ordinary paper used at home is relatively thick and has no toughness, and the kite will be scratched as soon as it flies into the sky."

"Is that paper expensive?" Mu Yunsheng asked with some concern.

Qian Huaiyuan hadn't made a kite for a long time, and he didn't know the specifics, so he shook his head and guessed, "It shouldn't be very expensive, but because the paper is very thin, it's also very troublesome to stick it flat on the skeleton, are you really going to make a kite yourself and give it to the girl?" ”

"Well, I'm just going to make a kite for the girl." Mu Yunsheng said confidently.
