Brother Chu seemed to understand something, laughed, and said, "At home, you can just make some gadgets." ”

Xiao Xi also raised two small hands behind him and shouted: "There is still mine, and mine!" ”

Brother Chu bent down, stretched out his fingers and scraped the bridge of Xiao Xi's nose, "Okay, okay, and yours, we will remember." ”

The fat man is here to stay overnight, now that it is dawn, he can go into the city to find an inn to live in, so he should not stay here to trouble people, besides, the family has nothing to eat and drink, and if you want to eat, you have to go into the city to buy it, the fat man thought, it is more convenient to live directly in the city.

"Brother Chu, sister-in-law, thank you. We packed our bags and left. "The implication is that we will leave immediately, and we don't have to bother my sister-in-law to prepare gadgets for Xiao Xi and Xiao Hu.

The door of the west wing opened, Chu Xiaomei carried a small bamboo basket, walked to the fat man's family, took out a few paper flowers from the bamboo basket, handed them to the three of them, and when she looked at the fat man, she smiled and said: "Childe is afraid that he is hungry in his stomach, and he thinks that we have nothing to eat or drink here, so he is in a hurry to leave." ”

"Ahh That's right," Brother Chu slapped his forehead, "Oh, the hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good!" Sister, go buy some food and come back, let the fat brother eat first. ”

asked Chu Xiaomei to go out to buy breakfast, Brother Chu turned around and said to the fat man: "Look at you, hahaha, brother, meeting is fate, you lived in our house, but left hungry, how can I be embarrassed?" Let's do this okay, you take a break for a while, my sister went to buy it and came back early, you ate early, and it just so happened that the insider could get some gadgets out and give them to you, so that if you say it, let your brother Chu be more decent and not be laughed at. ”

In fact, he was not in a hurry to leave, the fat man just watched Miss Xiao Hu and Xiao Xi Niang'er messing around, begging for gifts, so he wanted to leave quickly. The fat man is a simple person, and he still thinks about how to secretly leave some broken silver for others, how can he still live in vain and ask for gifts? Use the rush as an excuse to leave immediately, without leaving time for your sister-in-law, and you can not take other people's small gifts.

Everyone has said this, Chu Xiaomei also ran out, and the fat man is not easy to refuse. Then wait, and leave early after eating.

The sister-in-law went into the house to cut paper, and made some gadgets for Miss Hu and Xiao Xi, and the mother and son were the most playful and curious, so they went in to learn other people's crafts. Learning, I don't expect this lady and son to learn anything, watch from the side, praise a few words of "really skillful", "really good-looking", and please your sister-in-law, but it's also good. As Brother Chu said, meeting is fate, and there may not be a chance to meet in the future.

There were two people left in the courtyard, the fat man and Brother Chu, chatting a few words. The fat man spread his palm, looked at the paper flower that Chu Xiaomei put in his hand, and praised: "Sister Ling is really ingenious!" Could it be that Brother Chu, you also know this craft? ”

Brother Chu shook his head, "Where, there's nothing to do, they just do it casually." I don't, the paper in this courtyard is cut out by Xiaomei and her insiders. ”

The fat man nodded, he had no face to speak, hey, look at other people's daughters-in-law, other people's sisters! Look at your own home, ah, even if you don't get into trouble one day, then it's a blessing!

Chu Xiaomei came back early, elated, and ran to the fat man's side in small steps. The fat man took the breakfast, his face was dark, and he was very angry, but he still had to keep smiling Chu Xiaomei bought it early, just like the dry food that the army brought when they marched and fought, this dry food is real

It's so dry that it can't be dried anymore, and there's no moisture at all.

The fat man looked polite and said thank you. The fat man's family frowned sadly, drank wine with dry food, and swallowed it in a daze. After three or two bites, Xiao Xi and Xiao Hu slipped away. The remaining two brothers and sisters of the Chu family stared at the fat man, "What's wrong?" Not tasty? ”

The fat man's laughter was more ugly than crying, and he broke another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Fortunately, Miss Hu and Xiao Xi both got small gifts and came out of the house, saving half of the fat man's life.

Xiao Xi has an eagle on her head, and Xiao Hu girl is holding a tiger in her hand, both of which are made of paper, except that they are a little smaller, they look like the real thing.

The fat man just walked and watched, admiring the masterpieces in the yard, and secretly hid a bag of broken silver under a paper umbrella, which was regarded as a thank you. I've eaten breakfast now...... Uh, even if you have eaten it, it is really hard to swallow, and the mother and son also got a small gift, so it is time to say goodbye to Brother Chu's family and leave for the city.

Brother Chu also understood that there was no food or drink at home, so he didn't do much to keep them, and sent the fat man to the door. Before getting into the carriage, Chu Xiaomei ran to the carriage and said to Miss Hu and Xiaoxi, "You want to go to the city?" Great, it's the second day of the paper flower show, and you can go to the street to see the gadgets you like to make out of paper. ”

Xiao Xi and Xiao Hu are unknown, "Paper Flower Exhibition...... What is it? ”

The sister-in-law explained, "Oh, it's been a tradition for many years. Our girls here in Dazhou will use paper to make some gadgets, all kinds of them, not easy to compare, so with this festival, the paper flower exhibition is that everyone only makes paper flowers, put them on the street exhibition, to see who gathers the most people in front of them, who is the best paper-cut. The paper flower exhibition lasts for three days, giving everyone time to learn from each other and progress, and the rankings will be evaluated on the last day. Today is the second day, and on the third day, the winner of the first place will have a grand prize. ”

Miss Hu said, "Go, go!" I'm going to see the Paper Flower Show! ”

The fat man looked at Brother Chu and said suspiciously, "This ...... Paper Flower Exhibition, Sister-in-law and Sister Ling, but why don't you participate in it? ”

Chu Xiaomei replied, saying that decorating the yard with paper was just fun, and she never wanted to compete with others.

The fat man admired it, so he didn't ask any more, said goodbye, turned over into the carriage, and left on the horse. The road was not far away, and with a few flicks of the horsewhip, the carriage squeezed into the city. It was squeezed in, probably because of the paper flower exhibition in the city, and there are a lot of people entering the city today.

After entering the city and finding a place to stay, and putting away the luggage, the fat man's family went out. The mother and son went to a crowded place to see the paper flower exhibition. The fat man went to find a bowl of hot noodle soup first, not to eat noodles, but to drink the soup and eat the dry food just now, and almost choked the fat man to death, and now his throat is still blocked in panic.

Both of them are masters of joining in the fun, standing on the street and sweeping them over, they can immediately confirm which direction they are going. After turning a few alleys, I arrived at West Street, where the paper flower exhibition was held.

A small wooden table was erected, and paper was cut on the spot to show off his skills. There are small planks behind you, which can be attached to the finished planks or hung for pedestrians to see. The combination of a small wooden table and a small wooden board is a small stall, and each stall represents a contestant.

Because some of the contestants came alone, some came together as sisters, and some came as brothers and sisters, there may not be only one person in a small stall, so each stall is regarded as a participant

players, more reasonable.

Such small stalls, along both sides of the street, are full. People are walking and watching on the streets. Some of the stalls were deserted with two or three people, and the rest of the tourists only glanced at them and hurried by; In front of some stalls, there was an endless stream of people, bustling, and gathered around several times.

This kind of competition is inherently unfair, and there are few people in front of the stall, and sometimes it may not have anything to do with craftsmanship. A seventy or eighty-year-old lady, the paper flowers she made may be the best among all the contestants, visitors to the stall, looked at the paper flowers, well, really beautiful, this is the girl who made the paper flowers so beautiful! Look down again, look at the folds on the old lady's face, oh, forget it, don't look at it!

This is a good paper flower exhibition, but the interest of visitors is not necessarily in the paper flowers. Some little girls are not skilled in craftsmanship, and the paper flowers are not so good-looking, but they are good-looking, young and beautiful. Visitors love to this stall to see how she makes paper flowers, not to see the production process of paper flowers, but to see the girl's white and tender hands, while looking at the praise, you look at this paper flowers, tsk, tsk, really white, so tender!

Miss Hu likes paper gadgets, and she really came here to see paper flowers. After turning around, I found that the place with fewer people, the better the paper flowers; The denser the crowd, the better the girl's appearance. How did a good paper flower exhibition become a beauty contest? But this is a good thing for Miss Hu, who can take a closer look at those delicate little paper flowers in a place where there are few people.

An old lady was concentrating on making paper flowers, and Miss Hu couldn't see the old lady's technique clearly, so she bent down and stretched her neck to look over, and her face was almost on the old lady's nose. The old lady raised her head, the tip of her nose just touched the cheek of the little bearded girl, and she was startled by the little bearded girl, huh...... Accident, accident, I didn't expect anyone to watch me make paper flowers here, and I looked at it so seriously, I thought it was a bad old man who fell in love with me!

"Girl, do you like paper flowers?" The old lady held the freshly made paper flowers, with kind eyebrows and smiles.

Miss Hu nodded, "Uh-huh, uh-huh! I like it, I like it! It is...... It's just that I don't know how to do it, otherwise I want to make one and give it to my fat brother. ”

When it comes to this kind of thing, the old lady is excited, "Oh? Which fat brother are you? Whose son-in-law eats so fat, and is lucky enough to be favored by a beautiful girl like you? ”

"Uh......" said Miss Hu, "the fat brother saved me, he was my father-in-law, and he treated me very well, but ...... It's that he always thinks I'm stupid, and he always praises the girl who makes paper flowers for his ingenuity these two days, if I can make a paper flower for him, isn't it stupid? ”

As she spoke, Miss Hu was pushed by Xiao Xi and took a small step back. Xiao Xi jumped in front of Miss Xiaohu, so that the old lady could see a paper eagle scurrying up and down in front of the table.

The old lady smiled, revealing her broken teeth, "Yo, I didn't even see it, there is a little doll here, pick it up, the eldest lady will see if it is handsome." ”

Miss Hu bent her arm and scooped up Xiao Xi. Xiao Xi raised his hand above his head and grabbed his paper eagle to prevent it from falling off his head.

When Miss Hu reached out to hug Xiao Xi, she also deliberately clamped the paper tiger in her hand, and the old lady noticed it. The old lady looked at the paper eagle on Xiao Xi's head, and then at the paper tiger in the crook of Xiao Hu's arm, the expression on her face was ever-changing, and she muttered for a long time before she said, "Girl, you ...... This paper tiger and eagle, are they all made by you? 2k reading network
