Chapter 356: The Process Is Also Part of the Gift

found a suitable piece of wood from the warehouse, and struggled to carry it to the carpentry room in front, making Yunxi very tired.

"Uncle Xi, what is the name of this wood, it is dead and heavy." Yunxi asked with a pant. I knew it was so heavy, so I asked someone to help.

Ye Xi was busy making furniture, Ye Fu and the three of them started to build the house in the spring, and after more than two months of busy work, the house has been completed, and the windows and door frames have been installed, just wait for the furniture to be ready.

"Huh? Walnut! What are you doing with it, do you want to learn carpentry from me? Ye Xi joked to Yunxi, although this little girl is young, she has a lot of ideas, and she only helped her make a few beehives a few days ago, so she came up with some ideas!

"Can this be made into a wooden sword?" Knowing the name, Yunxi doesn't know if this walnut is good or bad, but it's so hard, it should be fine, right?

"Make wooden swords, no problem. How long and wide you want to make, say it! Ye Xi put down the work in his hand, picked up the wood dragged by Yunxi, and said with a smile: "You have a good eye, this is good wood, the pattern is good-looking, the corrosion resistance is strong, and it can't be made into wood for hundreds of years, although it is a root branch, it is also very rare!" ”

Yunxi doesn't have a vision or anything, she knows a lot of trees, but the trees have turned into wood, and it's a little difficult to get her to know again. But she has her own way, that is, to carry the heavy, the dense one is good, and it can be regarded as a crooked hit.

For an excellent carpenter, it is still very easy to make the rough embryo of two wooden swords, but in half an hour, Ye Xi made the wooden sword embryo according to Yunxi's requirements, a sword is 86 cm long, the blade width is 30 cm long and 66 cm long, and the scabbard is about 90 cm, which is a conventional size, and it should be just right for Fu Junzhuo. There is also a handful that is 10 centimeters shorter, and Yunxi plans to play it by himself. It is all integrally formed, which is more labor-saving, and Yunxi does not plan to carve and inlay jade, which is refreshing and refreshing pure wooden sword.

After handing over the scabbard to Ye Xi to help with it, and deliberately explaining that she kept it for herself, Yunxi came out of the carpentry room in Ye Xi's helplessness of "children are really difficult to understand". Although I can't do the rough embryo myself, I still can't polish it, and if I don't participate in any process, can I still call it a gift made by myself?

I remember an article I read before, saying that a student walked a long way and picked wild lilies to give to the teacher as a gift for Teacher's Day, and the teacher was moved and blamed him for not walking so far to pick flowers, and the child puffed up his chest and replied: "Walking is also part of the gift!" ”

That story taught her that the mind and process are also part of the gift, and the important thing is not the gift itself, but the process of the gift and the condensed mind in it, which is the most important.

And doing manual work, looking at the original rough materials, after a process to break the cocoon into a butterfly, into a piece of exquisite, beautiful and practical things, in fact, can bring people a sense of satisfaction, eh...... A sense of solid satisfaction!

Like the planting that Yunxi loves to do, and the cutting that Yunjin loves to do, they are all the same.

When it was time for dinner after all this work, Ye Yuan had already rushed back. Seeing that the wheat would be harvested in three or five days, Ye Yuan and the Lin family could not accompany Yunxi and them into the mountain this time, so when they were eating, they were repeatedly confessed, and they were very reluctant, and they checked the children's luggage one by one after eating, for fear of bringing something less.

When it was completely done and lay down on the bed, Yunxi suddenly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, scratched his hair and thought about it for a long time before he had an idea: Did he forget to ask if the fox that Qian Qian was chasing was caught? She didn't read a lot of stories about foxes, especially "The Story of Lena Fox", which was very impressive. Fox Len is cunning, witty, and daring, and it is not easy to catch them.

……

There was nothing to say all night, the second day Yunxi got up early in the morning, energetically went to the village entrance of the land temple to incense, the land god is the godfather she recognizes, usually on the fifteenth day of the first month she has to come to the incense, if you go into the mountain for a month, you can't miss it twice, so she has to confess in advance, and there is also the meaning of the line.

Then I went to my grandfather's house and said a few words before going home for breakfast.

After eating, when he was about to leave, Yunxi found out how many things Fu Junzhuo said yesterday that he had bought something, stuffed three cars of things, and he was embarrassed to say that he bought a little, and he dared to love that they were not people who lived in the same world.

But this degree of surprise is not enough, she actually saw Mr. Liu in the departure team, isn't it that her son wants to go or not, Lao Tzu came out to fulfill his wish for him?

"Eldest sister, why do you want to go to your father-in-law in the future, he doesn't want to teach people to read, is it appropriate to ask for leave so angrily?" Yunxi approached Yunjin and asked quietly.

Yun Jin frowned, and said uncertainly: "I didn't listen to Brother Liu, isn't Uncle Fu not at ease, let Mr. Liu send it?" ”

"No, Mr. Liu is going to go by himself, and he said that he is going to learn to paint with your husband." I don't know when Fu Junzhuo who came to his side interjected. "Sister Yunjin, I'll be in a car with you in a while, and I'll be alone and no one will talk."

Yun Jin nodded indifferently and continued to ask, "Then what about your cousins' classes?" ”

"Brother Liu teaches, can he teach a few children with a show?" Fu Junzhuo said disappreciatively, "Mr. said that he wants to combine work and rest, so as not to read his brain stupidly!" ”

"That's true!" Yunxi nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Mr. Liu's arrangement was very reasonable.

Yunxi and Yunkai pouted in unison, can someone like Liu Xuan be stunned? Just kidding! Although they have not seen many readers, there are not many ordinary people who are as clever as Liu Xuan! He wants to be stunned, and it is estimated that everyone else will have to stay there first.

Yunxi expected that they soon knew that in fact, the reason why Mr. Liu wanted to learn to paint with Mr. Zhou was actually encouraged by Liu Xuan and Guo Shi, and he wanted him to learn and improve his skills, but in fact, he hoped that he would sell paintings to make money after improving his painting skills.

Mr. Liu already has a foundation, and when he was rushing to take the exam in Beijing, he also worked as a painter for a living, but he had a problem common to most literati, that is, he was high, painting was purely a hobby, and he would rather teach and live in poverty than sell paintings for a career.

But Liu Xuan doesn't have this problem, Guo Shi doesn't have this problem! So the mother and son joined forces and persuaded Mr. Liu to learn from a few gentlemen, and not to come again when the opportunity was not lost, the level of several gentlemen was so high, what a pity to miss it. Mr. Liu, who already had the intention of learning, was so moved that he gave up his face and had the courage to find Wang Han. Wang Han is not the kind of person who cherishes himself, besides, several of them are now studying new techniques, and it is a good thing for many people to discuss it together, so they readily agreed, so there was this scene in the morning.

As for whether Mr. Liu is willing to sell his paintings after learning, Guo's mother and son are not worried, didn't he promise to paint a few paintings for Yun Jinkai Gallery? When the time comes, just say that Yunjin can't receive paintings, and the business is difficult, can you still help as a father-in-law?
