"I knew that Yao Yatou was filial, and I would have recognized her as an apprentice if I knew it, and I would have saved you an old thing." Xu Lao quipped.

"As far as your craft is concerned, what is the use of learning what you can't eat or drink? Yao Yatou, this is a discerning eye. Chen Jiugui teased.

Yao Jing was very curious, "Old Xu, what kind of craftsmanship do you have?" Isn't it just about opening an antique shop? ”

"You girl really don't know the goods, my old man ......" Xu Lao sighed with emotion, and he couldn't say anything.

"What's so embarrassing about this, I'll tell you for you." Sun Lao took the conversation and spoke for him.

"Your Grandpa Xu is not simple, his hand-carved craftsmanship, that is famous, his grandfather and grandfather were once the people of the palace manufacturing department, but unfortunately, Xu Lao was persecuted back then, and almost hurt a pair of eyes, if it weren't for the ......" Sun Lao couldn't go on.

It was not only them who were killed back then, but even their family was ruined, but fortunately, his son still had Kang'er's bloodline, and Xu's family was ......

Yao Jing didn't expect Xu Lao to have such an experience, she also thought that Xu Lao would only collapse because of her son.

Speaking of the events of that year, Xu Lao's eyes were red and tears flickered.

After a long silence, he picked up his wine glass, "Okay, let's drink." ”

After sending off Xu Lao and Sun Lao, Yao Jing found Yao Hongsheng.

"Third brother, as long as you add exercise, your body will definitely recover, so have you thought about what to do in the future?" Yao Jing could see that Yao Hongsheng didn't like to be bored at home all day, and he wanted to come out.

But he has been stuck at home for too long, it is difficult for him to communicate with ordinary people, and he has missed the age of reading, and he is quiet like an ink painting, so it seems that it is difficult for him to do anything.

"I ...... Actually, I've thought about it, but I'm afraid that what I want to do is useless. ”

Just like Xu Lao, he is obviously so powerful, but he is not hungry.

Yao Jing's eyes lit up, as long as there was something she wanted to do.

"What do you want to do? Third brother might as well tell me, maybe I can help you answer. ”

Looking up at his sister in front of him, Yao Hongsheng's heart was warm, Jing Jing didn't feel that he was a waste, and tried his best to cure his illness and help him silently, he shouldn't hold his words in his heart, he should take them out and share them with her.

"I used to be too bored at home, so I liked to carve things with a knife, and then I slowly asked my eldest brother and second brother to help me find wood and beautiful stones, so I learned to carve things, and gradually I fell in love with carving." I can't tell, but he has an inexplicable affection for carving.

He was lonely and lonely at home, and for more than 20 years of life, it was those wood, stone and roots that accompanied him, and it was also the sustenance of all his emotions, and he loved carving.

"Carving?" Yao Jing could see that when Yao Hongsheng mentioned carving, his eyes would glow.

"Third brother, carving will be very hard, are you not afraid of hardship?" Yao Jing asked again.

"At first, I may not have the strength in my hands, but I can exercise, as long as I am given time, I am not afraid of hardship."

Looking at his determined eyes, Yao Jing thought about it seriously.

"Third brother, you really know how to choose a career, don't worry, since you want to learn from me, I will naturally raise my hands in favor, Xu Lao, we invited today, you also heard it just now, since there is a ready-made master, it's a pity not to use it!" Yao Jing felt that her third brother was really good.

A unique temperament, not concerned about anything, simply enthusiastic about carving, so pure heart, and not contaminated with any impurities of the heart, not to do carving is a pity!

Now that it has just been restored, I can't see anything in the engraving industry, who knows what will happen in the future?

"Brother Xing, I'll take you to apprentice tomorrow."

She thinks that maybe Xu Lao will be in a better mood with his third brother by his side.

"Jingjing, let's just go over so rashly, what if Elder Xu doesn't want to accept apprentices, and it's not good to bring it up because of you?" Yao Hongsheng was excited and apprehensive, and a little frustrated.

He doesn't know anything, he doesn't have much strength in his hands, and carving is not a game, so he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to learn.

"Don't be afraid, if Elder Xu doesn't accept you, then I'll find a way to let him accept you, don't you still believe in my ability?" Yao Jing said.

She had an idea, since Xu Lao had such an ability, even if he was forced to live here, there should be a few acquaintances.

I have been looking for my son for so many years, but I have never found it, maybe it is not that Xu Lao can't find it, but ......

Yu Yao had an idea in her heart, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, she went to the department store to buy a lot of things and carried them to Xu's house.

"Girl, what are you ......" Xu Lao was very surprised to see her mention so many things.

For so many years, for a stinky old man like him, the neighbors around him didn't like him, and they couldn't wait to hide far away, and suddenly came to the door with something, just afraid that this girl would ask for something else.

"Old Xu, I really want to ask you for something today!" Yao Jing rarely spoke in such a solemn tone, Xu Lao looked at her in surprise, and then said with Zhengse: "What's the matter?" ”

"That's the case, yesterday my third brother heard that Xu Lao was a master carver, and my third brother was particularly interested in carving, his condition will be completely stabilized after a while, he intends to learn some skills from Xu Lao, I don't know if Xu Lao is willing to accept my third brother as an apprentice?" Yao Jing expressed her intentions.

Xu Lao hesitated a little.

"Yao girl, I once made an oath that if I can't find my son in this life, I will never take a carving knife again."

Yao Jing didn't expect this kind of thing, and she was a little disappointed.

If it was something else, Yao Jing was sure to persuade Xu Lao, but when it came to his son, it was really difficult for her to speak.

Yao Hongsheng next to him looked indifferent, "Xu Lao doesn't have to be embarrassed, although I like carving, I won't be difficult, not to mention, Xu Lao never owes me anything." ”

Even though he covered it up very well, Yao Jing could still see his frustration.

Xu Lao hesitated a little.

"Yao girl, I once made an oath that if I can't find my son in this life, I will never take a carving knife again."

Yao Jing didn't expect this kind of thing, and she was a little disappointed.

If it was something else, Yao Jing was sure to persuade Xu Lao, but when it came to his son, it was really difficult for her to speak.

Yao Hongsheng next to him looked indifferent, "Xu Lao doesn't have to be embarrassed, although I like carving, I won't be difficult, not to mention, Xu Lao never owes me anything." ”

Even though he covered it up very well, Yao Jing could still see his frustration.

"Well, you get up!" He can afford it.

Although he is a little stupid, the most important thing in carving is to have a heart that simply likes carving, and the things made are more pure, perhaps...... He's not bad.

"Will you do laundry and cooking?" Elder Xu asked.

"Huh?" Yao Hongsheng stiffened his face and shook his head.

"Will you clean the yard?" Xu Lao asked patiently.

"Huh?! "I don't know how to ...... "It shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"What about chopping wood?" Xu Lao felt that he was afraid that he might find an ancestor for himself!

“…… Yes! Yao Hongsheng nodded stubbornly.

It's really ...... He had never done any of this work, and the heaviest he had ever carried was a carving knife and wood.

But it's easy to look at the big brother, so it shouldn't be difficult...... Right?

He really has no confidence!
