Shen Yeling returned home, looked back and thought about it, Xiuzhu's eyes when she looked at him and Xiao Lin before seemed to have a hint of incomprehension, as if she felt that there was an ulterior secret between them.

Others misunderstood that he was having an affair with another girl, which is really sorry for Xu Man, because just the name of husband and wife with Xu Man over the years gradually gave him a duty that he should have as a husband, that is, he can't mess with flowers and grass outside.

He and Xiao Lin are seen like that, as long as he feels guilty about Xu Man, his wife is seriously ill in bed and has to resist the gossip outside, but he is burning incense and worshipping Buddha with the little girl. If you are a normal person, you will feel that you are a negative and unsympathetic man, and according to the old thinking, you will be taken off to the street and scolded.

Thinking like this, he was inexplicably ashamed and scared in his heart, so he wanted to run to Xu Man's room and let her find some comfort for herself, although she really didn't have a relationship between husband and wife, but this sense of responsibility was still there.

He walked up to Xu Man like a child who had made a mistake. Xu Man saw him and hurriedly put down the other needlework in his hand, and asked with concern: "Erlang, what's wrong?"

Shen Yeling almost wanted to speak, thinking about it, it was really a bit embarrassing, so he closed his mouth again and shook his head, Xu Man saw that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask, and continued to bury his head in the work at hand.

I saw her putting a pair of shoes that she had in her own hands on the final stitching. It was a pair of thin cloth shoes, wrapped in red cloth and soft soles, and there were magnolia flowers embroidered by Xu Man himself on the upper.

These shoes are very small, not like they are for men, but they are for a small-footed daughter, only to hear Xu Man say slowly while winding needles and threads: "I know that Miss Luo's outfit can buy ready-made ones, but seeing that she has helped me so much, there is nothing to give him, even if I send it, I feel that it is not enough, so I made a pair of shoes for her."

Shen Yeling was taken aback, and was about to remind her that Luo Xiaoqi didn't need shoes at all now, she had already passed the age of asking for shoes, if Luo Xiaoqi was still Luo Yunsheng, she would climb over the wall and climb trees, and if she wore out a pair of shoes a day, she might thank Xu Man for giving her a pair of shoes, but now it is better to give her a wheelchair than to give her shoes.

Waiting for Xu Man to continue with her usual helpless eyes, and then said: "I can't help it, the clothes are all sent, I really can't find anything I can do for her, think about it, I can only make shoes, I haven't done it for you."

Her last sentence was also guilty that she was not a good wife, and she couldn't even make a pair of shoes or a piece of clothing for her husband.

Shen Yeling got up with a faint smile, relieved, and only listened to him: "I have enough clothes to wear, you can do it for Ah Sheng, his mother has never done this for her."

In this way, Shen Yeling's nose was sour, and he didn't want to say any more, so he didn't bother Xu Man to go out.

After a few days, the veterans at the gate of the city continued to visit Shen Yeling's house, and Shen Yeling came over to greet him warmly, only to see that what he saw was Xiaolin performing a hanging silk puppet show for the veterans again, and there were two or three apprentices around him who were interested in coming to watch.

I saw that Xiao Lin's fingers were slowly rising and falling one by one, and the villain was also making regular gestures along the line, sometimes jumping, sometimes walking, sometimes bowing, looking like he was alive.

The veteran deliberately squatted down and got closer in order to see the little puppet clearly, touching his chin and squinting, and his eyes never moved away from the villain for a moment.

Then he looked up and praised Xiao Lin who put away the puppet: "Little girl, it's really amazing", the thumbs up at Xiao Lin, waved it twice, and explained: "You are this."

The apprentice beside him, who was also watching with relish, also reminded: "Uncle Li, Xiaolin can understand Chinese."

"Oh", the veteran reacted and smiled at Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin also responded to the veteran in a good way, but there was always a seeming vigilance in her eyes, I saw her holding the puppet in her hand tightly, protecting it like a baby, and the awkward words came again: "I have promised to give it to others, this can't be given to you."

A few people paid attention to it, the veteran stared at the villain at the beginning and didn't let go, and when he heard this, the veteran reacted, and looked away embarrassedly and smiled: "Little girl, I'm afraid your craftsmanship is ours from China, this seems to be the generation in Fujian, it's called silk puppet show, but you put the villains in uniforms, but I can still recognize them."

The veteran's eyes lit up, and he asked cheekily: "Little girl, if we don't do this, you make me another puppet, and I will pay you."

Xiao Lin shook his head hesitantly, with embarrassment on his face: "I learned this craft from my grandfather, and my grandfather also taught me to make puppets, he taught me that puppets can't be bought, but they can be given to friends, if you want me to give you one, you don't have to give money, but you will be my friend in the future."

"This girl is good, see that I am interested in your little puppet, take advantage of me and make friends with me", the veteran rubbed his hands and said with a hippie smile: "Tell me, how many good friends have you made with your little puppet"?

The veteran teased Xiao Lin with the strength of a child, and his eyes were overflowing with love for Xiao Lin, and several apprentices knew that Xiao Lin had captured the heart of a stranger with her unique charm.

Xiao Lin really counted carefully according to the old soldier's words, looking at her earnestness while counting with her fingers, she really made a lot of friends. The veteran looked at her and then laughed and inserted his waist: "Hahaha, no need, I don't want your puppet little girl, I still go to the teahouse to watch the shadow puppet show, the character doesn't have to work as hard as you do, you can simply rely on the light and curtain to present a scene, but the presentation method is the same, they use a small stick to pull the paper puppet to do the action, and you use a thread to pull your little puppet."

Several apprentices listened to the veteran's description, and they all understood the similarities between the two crafts, and admired that the veteran not only knew how to fight and defend the city, but also knew a wide range of things, and looked very carefully and thought far, so the veteran stretched his waist, yawned and looked tired: "Oh, since the wanted criminal died, we can't help it, the soldiers who defend the city can't be arranged one by one, so we can only drop one wave and put another wave of leave, I am also very idle these days, another day I invite you to the teahouse one by one to see and learn."

Several people laughed, and responded happily and said yes, and the veteran looked at Xiao Lin again: "Miss Xiaolin also wants to appreciate her face, I'm afraid that after you see it, I'm afraid that you will also follow the lantern, and the one who puts the curtain will also learn."

Xiao Lin smiled, lowered his head, and said a little seriously: "My grandfather said that the puppets are performed on the stage according to the puppeteer's line, and they don't need any light and shadow."

Seeing that Xiao Lin is so serious, it seems that he really insists that every craft has a way of display, and the shadow puppet show must not be changed indiscriminately, which is to present the story with the help of light and shadow, so the silk puppet show is presented on the stage without relying on anything else, but only by the line drawn by the puppeteer.

The veteran smiled and waved his hand: "Oh, the little girl now is really, she is really stubborn, I won't have anything to do with you, I'm looking for Boss Shen to be right for you Boss Shen."

Only then did the veteran realize that he had come to Shen Yeling to chat, but he didn't expect to be attracted by Xiaolin's thing for most of the day.

Shen Ye Lingben was practicing the drama and hung his throat, sweated and took a shower and changed into clean clothes, then he came refreshingly, after coming, the little apprentices all withdrew and went to their own business, the two smiled and arched their hands to make a greeting gift, and they didn't wait for a conversation to say a word.

Xiao Lin came over with her puppet in her arms, and said with a sneer on her face that the puppet was handed to Shen Yeling, with a sincere expression and innocent and ignorant eyes: "Give, Ye Lingjun, this is what I did."

Shen Yeling smiled and picked up Xiao Lin's puppet to take a look, and seriously echoed Xiao Lin: "Light Source Clan"?

Xiao Lin nodded, showing a satisfied smile, she smiled Shen Yeling recognized who the puppet she made was, so she pointed to the little puppet again, and then changed the direction and pointed out: "I see Ye Lingjun I also made a barnacle to change clothes, and then I will give it to Madame."

She jumped away after giving the gift, and the clogs on her feet also followed her with a lively jump, and she danced like a child who has not grown up, and can be excited for a day after receiving a little praise from adults.

Shen Yeling looked at him and seemed to be laughing at himself and Xiuzhu again, how could such a child be involved in matters between men and women.

The veteran on the side looked at Shen Yeling, and then looked at Xiao Lin who ran away, laughed like a big realization, and explained to Shen Yeling after laughing: "I said, Xiao Lin cherishes the puppet so much, it turned out to be for you, Xiao Lin just told me that her puppet is to be called a friend with her, I felt that the little girl was taking advantage of it, I am an elder, she is a junior, will I be a friend soon." Now that she's giving you the puppet, it seems that she wants to take advantage of your generation."

Shen Yeling smiled when he heard this, and replied: "'Teacher, so preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts' Xiaolin has a lot of things I can learn, if I can learn not to mention becoming friends with me, if I want her to become my teacher, I have nothing I can't agree."

The veteran touched the blue stubble on his chin and wondered: "What can you learn from this little girl, isn't it that silk puppet show."

Shen Yeling was respectful, and his answer was also very serious: "Puppet theater can also be learned, I don't think it's so cheap, I also learn Peking Opera as noble as not."

He lowered his identity as an outsider's evaluation of himself, and hit other people's hearts with every sentence, as if he was complaining about Xu Manming, and he was also a lowly actor, why didn't Xu Man deserve himself.

The veteran looked at what they had done, and he was really a little speechless, so he sighed and left again without chatting a few words.

There was only Shen Yeling in the guest hall, Xiao Lin was holding the body of the puppet, dragging the clogs over, the sound of the clogs was too loud, so he quickly turned his head, and then smiled at Xiao Lin from cloudy to clear.

Xiao Lin also waved the puppet in his hand and said: "Ye Lingjun, I plan to make it look like Bai Suzhen and give it to the crazy person in the backyard, but I don't know much about its shape, Ye Lingjun, can you help me."

Shen Yeling glanced at Xiao Lin and wondered, "Duan Changqing"?

Xiao Lin nodded: "I just want to give it to him, he always says that he is a white lady, really when I haven't watched "The Legend of the White Snake", the white lady is dignified and atmospheric, which is crazy, but I see that he is a little crazy and pitiful, so I want to use a villain to make such a puppet for him."
