This was the first time that Lu Li had seen the processing process of silverware with his own eyes, and it didn't take long for him to put himself into it, and he squatted next to Uncle Gao a few steps forward, and the flames that came out of the fire were close at hand.

"Sterling silver is soft, but it is heavy and heavy in hand, so you will try it later." Uncle Gao found that Lu Li was very interested, and he talked more.

The hammer of the silver was beaten, and a silver bracelet with a delicate pattern was soon basically completed, and after Uncle Gao held the bracelet and knocked it around, he handed it to Lu Li and asked her to wear it and try it.

Lu Li took it and put it on his wrist, and the silver still had a little residual temperature after the scorching fire just now, which was different from the feeling that Lu Li had tried on the silver bracelet in the store in the past.

"It's so beautiful, Uncle Gao, your craftsmanship is so good!" Lu Li's heartfelt praise.

Lin Lin also leaned over to look at the bracelet, he recalled, as if he hadn't seen Lu Li wearing various ornaments before, so he casually asked, "Do you have a silver bracelet?" ”

"I bought one when I was in high school, and then I don't know why it disappeared." Lu Li said, remembering that the silver bracelet she once owned was bought by her mother.

Thinking of his mother, the smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth faded.

Next to him, the people from the museum who came with him began to talk to Uncle Gao about the purpose of coming to him today, Lin Lin also followed the past to officially talk about the purpose of this trip, and Lu Li cleaned up his mood and joined in.

Uncle Gao listened to them very carefully, frowned and thought about it after finishing the matter, and then spoke, "I remember the comrade who came to me many years ago, what is his name...... Oh, remember! Uncle Gao raised his hand and patted his head, "It's called Lu Guowei, why didn't he come?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't speak, his eyes calmly turned to Lu Li's face.

When Lu Li heard his father's name, his eyes were stunned, and then he asked Uncle Gao: "My father has been here before?" ”

Uncle Gao furrowed his brows fiercely and stared at Lu Li's face: "Are you ...... That's right, they are all surnamed Lu, I didn't even pay attention, Miss Xiao Lu is the daughter of Comrade Lu? ”

Lu Li realized what she had just said, she quickly glanced at Lin Li, and found that Lin Lin was also looking at her, she quickly replied to Uncle Gao: "Yes, my dad is Lu Guowei." ”

Uncle Gao got up from the stool, approached Lu Li, and said excitedly that it was no wonder that he felt familiar as soon as he saw Lu Li, and then began to talk about his fate with Lu Guowei.

It took several minutes to finish in one breath.

After Uncle Gao finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, looked at Lu Li, and asked again Why didn't your father come this time, is he already retired and doesn't do anything.

For a moment, Lu Li felt in a trance that his father was still there, just like Uncle Gao just asked, retired and stopped doing things.

But he soon came to his senses.

"My dad left the museum a few years ago, some time ago, just passed away." Lu Li replied truthfully.

Uncle Gao was stunned when he heard this, and his tone was full of disbelief: "What? Your dad he's ...... Is it sick? ”

Lu Li shook his head, and was thinking about how to answer the most appropriately, when he heard Lin Lin help her give the answer first, and he told Uncle Gao that Lu Guowei left because of a sudden illness, very suddenly.

"Well, I guessed that was the case, what a pity! He's only so old, he's pretty good! We had a good conversation, alas! Uncle Gao's face was full of regret, and he sighed after speaking.

Lu Li didn't expect Lin Lin to say this, she originally wanted to tell the truth, but she couldn't find a suitable explanation right away, so Lin Lin rushed to say it for her.

And it's a lie.

She couldn't guess what Lin Lone's intentions were, but he had already said so, and it didn't seem good to tell Uncle Gao the truth if he said that he was lying again.

What to do.

Lu Li was thinking about it, Uncle Gao had already wiped his eyes with his big hands, looked up at Lu Li, and said that he would be responsible for the paper matter to the end.

Uncle Gao looked at Lu Li with pity in his eyes, "Don't be sad, child, your father is a powerful person, and he will be fine when he gets there." ”

Before Lu Li could say anything, Uncle Gao had quickly switched to another mode, and he beckoned Lin Lin and the three of them to follow him, and now go and solve the paper matter.

When he walked out of the door of the silverware shop, Lin Lin stopped sideways and asked Lu Li to follow Uncle Gao out first, and Lu Li glanced at him as he passed by, as if he had something to say.

Lin Lin smiled at her and shook his head, Lu Li pursed his lips, the two of them tacitly didn't say anything, but they already understood the unspoken meaning from each other's eyes.

Uncle Gao led them through the town for a long time, and after passing through one alley after another, they stopped at a wooden doorway painted with dark red paint.

"Where you can make that kind of paper, this is it, come in." Uncle Gao took out the key to open the door and took the lead into the courtyard.

When Lin Lin crossed the threshold, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that this time he came out to find paper so smoothly.

Lu Li was also thinking about things when she entered the door, she was wondering if her father had also come here with Uncle Gao.

This idea was quickly confirmed, Uncle Gao said that when Lu Guowei came to him to make paper, it was also in this yard, but at that time it was not as dilapidated as it is now, and there were still many places in the country that needed him to make paper.

Lin Xiao looked around and asked Uncle Gao when he didn't start to make paper very well.

Uncle Gao sighed, "It's been three or five years, and you don't have much of any cultural relics in museums, and no one usually uses this kind of paper, so you don't make a little bit." ”

Lu Li also asked: "Uncle Gao, is there anyone else in the town who also does this, do you have an apprentice who makes paper?" ”

"There are a lot of apprentices, but they didn't follow me to learn this, they don't make money, who wants to learn!" Uncle Gao said as he walked to a stone-built sink in the courtyard and pointed his hand inside, "This is the kind of paper you want, I have made it here twice." ”

Lu Li and Lin Lin both surrounded him.

"I'll go see if the materials are there, if it's okay, let's start right away." Uncle Gao is really quick enough to do things, so he went to the house to find something.

After an hour, the first step of making paper begins.

——

Two days later, at noon, Lu Li, who had had lunch, sat in the courtyard with Uncle Gao drinking tea and eating, and now there are only the two of them here.

Lin Lin and the museum staff sent here to receive them went to the provincial capital, bringing the paper made by Uncle Gao, and they needed to go there for an appraisal, and they would not be able to come back until the afternoon.

Uncle Gao looked at Lu Li, who was drinking tea with his head down, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lu, are you playing a friend?" ”

Lu Li put down the tea bowl, she now understands a little bit of the local dialect, and knows that Uncle Gao's question about playing friends is the meaning of the object, so she smiled and replied: "Yes, now it's divided, it's another person." ”

"Oh." Uncle Gao nodded, his eyes turned to the closed courtyard gate, and he didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he suddenly burst out loud.

Lu Li looked at him curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Uncle Gao squinted back at Lu Li, "I didn't laugh at anything, just feel it......" He didn't say any more.

Lu Li frowned, "What do you think?" Uncle Gao, how did you learn to speak half of the words, it's not good to hang people's appetites. She also squinted at Uncle Gao, "Uncle Gao, why did you suddenly ask me about my personal questions, it wouldn't be because you wanted to introduce me to handsome guys in Kawen, right?" ”

Uncle Gao moved his body, sat upright on the wooden bench, cleared his throat again, and only after adjusting did he look at Lu Li and speak: "Uncle Gao knows that you are not the one who can stay in our place, I am thinking, help you look at the marriage." ”

Lu Li opened his mouth in surprise, and deliberately exaggerated his expression, "You still do this, what do you think?" If you want to use that, you can use it for divination, and I can't remember......"

Uncle Gao coughed, his expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes fell down on Lu Li's hand.

Lu Li followed his gaze and looked at his own hands.

"Reach out and show me, I'll show you palmistry, look at your marriage line." Uncle Gao said, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and stretched out his left hand at Lu Li.

Lu Li looked at Uncle Gao's rough palm, bent the corner of his mouth and stretched out his right hand, resting on Uncle Gao's palm, "Okay, I haven't seen palmistry yet." ”

Uncle Gao slowly opened his eyes, looked down at Lu Li's palm, and after a few seconds, he held Lu Li's right palm and looked at it seriously.

Lu Li also stared down at her palm, this should be the first time in her life that she paid so much attention to this part of her body.

After looking at it for two minutes, Uncle Gao raised his head slightly, looked at a place behind Lu Li, and said something slowly.

"You child, you are not very old, but this marriage is on the top...... It's been a catastrophe. ”
