Sun Lixing's ancestors have also been beautiful, in this square village is considered a "famous family", the family has three sons and two daughters, the son is said to have gone outside, the eldest son was originally left in the local area, planning to inherit his father's business, but there was an accident in the early years, and he died inexplicably.

Because Mr. Sun is not small and his family is rich, his two daughters are married well, and the younger daughter Sun Nianci is married to Weng Riyou, the son of the Weng family in Moringa Village.

This Weng Riyou is a craftsman, his brain is active, he went out in the early years, it is said that he made a windfall, and after he came back, he set up a timber shop in Moringa Gou, specializing in reselling handicrafts such as poplar root carving, which can be regarded as a "rich party".

And Weng Riyou is not a solitary eater, not only do it himself, but also lead the villagers of Moringa Valley to make a fortune, because not everyone has such a craft as him, so the villagers are pouring those strange-shaped poplar roots around, which can be regarded as providing raw materials for Weng Riyou.

Rao is like this, everyone has made a lot of money, and Weng Riyou has gained an excellent reputation and the support of the villagers.

These are all information provided by Xiao Lu, as well as some information from the village.

Since he was going to investigate the news of the family, the necessary preparations still had to be done, Yan Yu thought about this information while thinking about it, and he didn't feel too tired, and at three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he finally came to Moringa Gully.

The weather in this moringa ditch is indeed more vibrant than that of the old river fort, although they also suffer from drought here.

But they worked together to find a water source, drilled deep wells, and used the diesel engine of a tractor to drive the water pump, although it was also a limited time to supply water, but at least life was fine, and it did not even have much impact from earlier.

Of course, these equipment and fuel consumption were all led by Weng Riyou, and everyone raised funds, because they turned to commerce, their dependence on agricultural production was not as great as that of Laohebao, and they were also frugal in terms of water use.

In the early years, there were still many people who questioned that they didn't dare to follow Weng Riyou to do this, but now that there is a drought, the fields can't be planted, and they just want to stop their minds, so they can only follow Weng Riyou to do this business.

Bicycles are a rarity in Old River Fort, but it is not uncommon to arrive at Moringa Gully, and children do not seem to be accustomed to watching because of the appearance of bicycles.

When Yan Yu arrived at the head of the village, he saw several old people smoking dry cigarettes, surrounding a few quaint tree roots, discussing what price they could sell.

"A few brothers, I want to ask, how to get to Comrade Weng Riyou's house?"

Several old people looked Yan Yu's outfit up and down, and then looked at Yan Yu's bicycle, as if they were analyzing Yan Yu's origin and purpose.

"What are you looking for him? Do you want to buy a carving or sell wood? ”

If you buy a carving, it is a customer, if you sell wood, it is a competitor, and the attitude and treatment are different.

Yan Yu was not interested in things in the business field, but this was still evident, and he immediately made his position clear.

"I'm not looking for him to do business, I'm just passing by, and I heard that Mr. Weng's father-in-law is ...... So come and offer condolences. ”

Hearing that it was Sun Lixing's matter, several old men immediately frowned, didn't ask any more, and showed Yan Yu the way.

Yan Yu is not doing business, so it has no interests to do with them, and it involves Sun Lixing, which is an unfortunate thing, and they are naturally not willing to deal with it too much.

Yan Yu followed the guidance and pedaled forward, and soon saw a beautiful two-story building, although it was a brick and wood structure, but it was low-key and thick, and it should have cost a lot of money.

At the door of the house, a few children are playing with the Trojan horse, although it is just a simple Trojan horse, but at a glance, the workmanship is very good, the lines are smooth, the shape is round, quite ancient, this Weng Riyou's craftsmanship is also a little visible.

Seeing someone riding over, a tiger-headed little boy ran into the house and shouted, "Daddy, here are the guests!" ”

Thinking that he also had this kind of thing common, as soon as these words fell, the little boy ran out again and spread his hand towards Yan Yu: "Where are you from and what gifts did you bring?" ”

Yan Yu couldn't cry or laugh, where would he bring any gifts, he just pinched the little boy's fat face, and said with a smile: "I didn't bring any gifts, but I can play with you a fresh one." ”

Hearing that Yan Yu didn't bring a gift, the little boy suddenly pursed his mouth, a little unhappy, but the child always loves to play, and when he heard Yan Yu say that there was a new way to play, he suddenly became interested again.

"Tell me."

Yan Yu pointed to the Trojan horse: "You sit on it first." ”

The little boy sat down suspiciously, Yan Yu walked forward, grabbed the wooden horse, pulled hard, and the wooden horse spun in place.

This Trojan horse could only be swayed back and forth, the little boy estimated that he was tired of playing, at this time Yan Yu pulled like this, but it was spinning in place, the little boy with a happy sense of dizziness and excitement, smiled and urged Yan Yu to continue playing.

It's just that Weng Riyou has already walked out of the house at this time, and he can see the child laughing, and his face is not very good-looking, after all, the old man has just died, and it is not good to make such a fuss.

"Who are you?"

Yan Yu didn't want to play anymore, touched the head of the disappointed little boy, and said to Weng Riyou: "My name is Yan Yu, I teach in Laohebao, and the village chief asked me to come over......

Qin Dayou asked Yan Yu to help him stop the archaeological team from excavating the Dragon King Temple, because he asked Yan Yu, so Yan Yu was not worried at all when he pulled up Qin Dayou's pretense.

The heart said that Lao Sun's family is a scholarly family, and he should be able to win some favor and close the distance as soon as possible when he reports for his identity as a teacher.

However, Weng Riyou's face was not good-looking, and he was even a little unkind, and he did not invite Yan Yu into the house, but lowered his voice and said to Yan Yu: "Teacher Yan, my father-in-law is no longer here, and his matter is over, no matter what you have to do with him, don't find me here, you better go back!" ”

After all, it was a visit to a stranger, and Yan Yu had also imagined and rehearsed various scenes, but he never expected it to be the result of rejection.

Of course, this is also a good thing, at least it shows that Weng Riyou knows that Sun Lixing has a relationship with Laohebao, and even knows that Sun Lixing jumped over the Longwang Temple of Laohebao!

"Comrade Weng, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just accepted the request of the village chief and came over to send a couplet to Mr. Sun......

He had heard Xiao Lu say that because he died at home, his family did not want to go back to the funeral, after all, it was not very honorable, so he pulled Sun Lixing back for burial in a very low-key manner.

Sun Lixing is an old antique, everything is about the rules, and a beautiful funeral is necessary, but now there is not even a mourning hall, which is really wronged by him.

I heard that Yan Yu was going to send him a couplet, Weng Riyou's face finally looked better, he is a craftsman, and he also scribbles and writes on weekdays, after all, he has to compose, shape, and carve, and there is still a cultural heritage.

"Thank you, you bothered, you can leave the couplet, and thank the old village chief Qin for me."

Yan Yu was embarrassed, and said to Weng Riyou: "It's also embarrassing to say, this road is a bit long, and it's too bumpy, and when I came, I didn't know where it fell, do you have paper and pen here, I ...... Can I write a copy now? ”

In fact, Yan Yu also wanted to be ready to come over again, but he was afraid that Weng Riyou would not eat this set, and it would be self-defeating to bring it, so it was better to look at it again when he got to the place, and it was originally to be close, if he could write here, he would have more time to get along.

Although Weng Riyou was a little surprised, thinking about the dust and dust along the way, seeing Yan Yu's face covered with sweat, he was also a little reluctant, and finally invited Yan Yu to the house.

The daughter of the Sun family should still be in confinement, and there are still wormwood and other things stuck in the door frame, so she can't come out to meet guests.

Weng Riyou quickly found a pen and paper, Yan Yu was not polite, pondered for a while, and wrote a pair of elegiac couplets.

"The moon and the breeze are nostalgic, and the remnants of the mountains and rivers are left to read the last poems."

The content of the elegiac couplet is not too novel, but Sun Lixing has always regarded himself as a literati, and he likes to be called Mr. by others, and this elegiac couplet is indeed very pleasing.

Yan Yu's calligraphy is a child's skill, thanks to his father's teaching since he was a child, the pen power has been very deep, and his father is the master of Longfu Mountain, and the heavy taste cannot be hidden.

Weng Riyou is a knowledgeable person, seeing that Yan Yu is fluent, in one go, quite a person's demeanor, and then looking at the content of the elegiac couplet is atmospheric and considerate, I also admire Yan Yu in my heart.

"Teacher Yan's hand can't be practiced for more than ten years, the old village chief Qin asked you to write a couplet, it seems that you have found the right person......"

Yan Yu waved his hand: "Although I have never met Mr. Sun, I can often hear his deeds, and I dare not hold it between the lines, which can be regarded as a tribute to Mr. Sun......"

When Weng Riyou heard this, he was also emotional, and poured a cup of tea for Yan Yu: "It's rare to have a heart, Mr. Yan will take a sip of tea first and take a rest." ”

Although there is no shortage of water here, being able to use tea to entertain guests can be regarded as accepting Yan Yu, an "uninvited guest".

Yan Yu didn't dare to show too much pride, looked at the poplar root carved coffee table, and praised it sincerely: "Although this coffee table is natural, but it is not sharp, there are few knives here, but it is exquisite, and the nature of this poplar root has been released, good craftsmanship......"

Weng Riyou didn't expect Yan Yu's evaluation to hit the nail on the head, and couldn't help but be happy.

Although he has a big business and is willing to make a fortune with the villagers, these villagers are unable to provide him with suitable raw materials.

These root carvings are not ordinary wood, they need to have spirituality and potential, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have this kind of excavation vision.

"Teacher Yan also understands this?"

Yan Yu shook his head: "I don't understand it, but all the arts are the same, the way of expression may be different, but the aesthetics should be the same, the technique can be learned, and the cultivation can also be cultivated, but the aesthetic is a talent, not everyone has it......"

Weng Riyou's eyes lit up, looking at Yan Yu, and he couldn't wait to say a sentence immediately: "When you meet a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, it's just too late to meet and hate it!" ”。
