Chapter 32: Her Gift
"Oh? Gift? Old Man Lan looked at the strange shape and became curious.
"What kind of gift is this? Let's open it and take a look. ”
"That's right, what's so tightly wrapped?"
Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on her hand, Lan Qingqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
The people who came today are either rich or expensive, and the things they send are very exquisite.
Their family is not wealthy, and she has not been born long ago, and she has not had time to make money, so she can't buy good things at all.
So it took some thought to make a gift.
If that thing is compared to someone else's gift, it is naturally the least valuable thing.
It would be nice to quietly put down the gift before leaving, so that even if someone complains about them later, they won't hear it.
Just now......
"Well, yes, Grandpa. I heard that it is your 70th birthday, and I have prepared this gift for you with my own hands, wishing you good health, peace and joy! ”
Lan Qingqing restrained her excess emotions and handed over the gift in her hand with a smile.
Everyone's eyes suddenly shifted from Lan Qingqing's body to Old Man Lan's hand.
Under everyone's attention, Old Man Lan slowly unwrapped the gift package, revealing the ...... inside Pen.
It was a carved wood pen holder, carved out of fine mahogany.
The shape of the pen holder is atmospheric and lovely, with a rectangular pen holder area in the middle, and smiling Maitreya Buddha on both sides, representing longevity and peace.
The base is a slightly retro pattern, delicate and generous.
Mr. Lan loves to practice calligraphy, whether it is calligraphy or a hard pen, he writes very well.
Lan Qingqing naturally knew this, but unfortunately he was really poor and couldn't afford a good fountain pen, so after thinking about it, he made this pen holder.
The mahogany was turned out at home, and the pen holder was carved out by her for almost a whole night.
The technique of carving was learned by a famous teacher in Dongyang for two years before she was reborn.
It can be said that although this gift is not valuable, she has wasted a lot of thought.
After the gift was sent, Lan Qingqing stared at Old Man Lan a little nervously.
"What is this? A pen holder made of wood? It can't be bought at a ten-dollar store, right? No wonder it's so tightly wrapped? ”
"This gift is too casual, isn't it? It's the first time I've ever seen someone give a gift like this, heh. ”
"I think that pen holder is quite unique, and it is comfortable to look at."
"Didn't you hear? That pen holder was made by someone else, carved by hand, what kind of concept is that, but it took a lot of effort! ”
"Cut, why don't I believe it! She is a little girl, and she still knows wood carving? I heard that wood carving is a national intangible heritage. ”
“……”
A burst of discussion sounded, and Lan Qingqing turned a deaf ear.
"Qing girl, this thing, is it really carved by your own hands?"
Old Man Lan had a hint of excitement and joy in his eyes, and he held the pen holder in his hand.
"It's true." Lan Qingqing nodded.
The night before, I shook my head while carving this thing, and I accidentally broke my finger.
Old Man Lan looked at her carefully, and then nodded with great satisfaction.
"Qing girl, I like the gift you gave me very much, I bothered to do it."
"If Grandpa likes it, it's fine." Lan Qingqing smiled shyly.
"Of course this thing is that good? How do I not think? ”
As soon as the voice of doubt appeared, the voice of an elderly man was heard.
