Chapter 34: Thirty-four Days of Becoming an Old Lady
Hu Laosi took out the carved gadgets and gave them to Hu Guangshen.
A few pens hanging, a few brushes.
He knew that Hu Guangshen liked small animals, and he also carved a little white rabbit out of wood, which was covered with fluff and looked exactly like a real rabbit.
Hu Guangshen couldn't put it down with the wooden rabbit, and asked Hu Laosi how he carved it, it was really lifelike.
Hu Laosi doesn't have much contact with his second nephew on weekdays, and when he sees him so enthusiastic, he is still very restrained for a while. Later, Hu Guangshen asked a lot before he became acquainted.
"So? So that you can carve a rabbit? Fourth uncle, you are too powerful. ”
Hu Guangshen did not hesitate to praise, seeing that Hu Laosi could carve a rabbit shape with a few efforts, not to mention how much he worshipped.
Hu Laosi has always been a small and transparent existence in the Hu family, and he blushed when he was suddenly worshiped like this. "Ahem, it's all stuff that doesn't make it to the table." Seeing Hu Guangshen like this, Hu Laosi carved again with his head bored.
The simple wooden blocks, carved by him like a ghostly axe, quickly came to life. The more Hu Guangshen looked at it, the more he liked it, and couldn't help but refute:
"The fourth uncle's words are wrong, such skills, such techniques. I dare to guarantee that even the master of 'Lu Banxing' may not be able to carve it. ”
Hu Laosi wanted to enter the "Luban Xing", but Hu Guangshen didn't know. When he said this, he aroused Hu Laosi's expectations.
"Really?" The red-faced man had a light in his eyes.
Lu Ban recruited apprentices and attracted many people to participate. can't come up with decent works like Hu Laosi, and he can't even pass the first level. These days, he tried hard to come up with a good work, but found nothing. was so worried that he didn't know what to do, Hu Guangshen's words brought him profound inspiration.
"Really." Hu Guang is convinced. Anyway, he had never seen such a type of carving in Lubanxing.
Without comparison, how can there be a high or low?
Hu Laosi clapped his hands and was excited.
"Guangshen, do you say that the fourth uncle will take this rabbit to 'Luban Xing' on an errand?"
He was so worn that his hair fell out a lot, and he was also desperate, so he pulled Hu Guangshen to take ideas.
Only then did Hu Guangshen learn of his intention to come to the county seat, and looked Hu Laosi up and down, seeing that Hu Laosi was slightly embarrassed.
In the Hu family, because of Boss Hu's transcendent status, his children are also superior. Hu Guangshen is the only son of Boss Hu, and Hu Laosi has the illusion of being stared at by Boss Hu.
"Fourth uncle, are you going to 'Lubanxing'? This rabbit is good, but not a little too ......."
Hu Guangshen's praise just now was surprising, but it was more of a courtesy. If you really want to compare it with "Lubanxing", it's a bit ......
"Hey, I know. It's too much to put on the table. Hu Laosi sighed heavily and said Hu Guangshen's unfinished words.
Two big rough hands kept rubbing the rabbit statue, and the five big and three thick men looked like children who had done something wrong.
"Not really." Hu Guangshen sneered, he didn't expect to praise people and make mistakes, and he felt inexplicably guilty in his heart when he looked at Hu Laosi's honest gaze.
"Rabbit...... Yes! ”
Hu Guangshen remembered that his classmate once gave him a small box produced by "Lu Banxing", which contained a mechanism that could not be opened easily, and it was similar to a rabbit.
"Fourth uncle, can you add a mechanism to the rabbit's mouth, and it will be vivid when it opens and closes?"
Hu Guangshen helped come up with an idea, ordinary rabbits are too ordinary, so do something unusual.
Under Hu Guangshen's guidance, Hu Laosi's mind opened, and the rabbit mouth that opened and closed was really made by him. Hu Laosi drew inferences from one another, and made the rabbit's tail into a mechanism to drive the back. Just stroke the rabbit's back and the tail will shake with it. It's exactly the same as a real rabbit.
It took the uncle and nephew three days to make a rabbit come to life. For this reason, Hu Guangshen's organ box was sacrificed. Hu Laosi compared the mechanism inside to make a rabbit mechanism.
Hu Guangshen didn't care about this, and urged Hu Laosi to run for the apprentice quota. Obviously, Hu Laosi wants to be an apprentice, which makes Hu Guangshen more interested than him.
The vivid rabbit entered the "Luban line", which is really eye-catching. Some people say that it is opportunistic, and some people think that it is also flexible to find a different way.
Don't look at being a carpenter who deals with stiff wood all day long, but you have to be more flexible, and a good carpenter will not waste a single piece of material.
Master Zhang has worked in Luban for many years, from a primary school apprentice to a master, and has a lot of experience in the middle. The rabbit sent by Hu Laosi was also taken by him at a glance.
After meeting Hu Laosi himself, Master Zhang decisively accepted this apprentice.
Practical, duty, and most importantly, flexibility, where to find such an apprentice?
learned that Hu Laosi sent people under the fence, and specially opened a room for him to live in. In terms of diet and daily life, it is even more caring.
Hu Laosi became an apprentice of "Lu Banxing", although he was not a "successor", but he was also satisfied.
The old lady got Hu Laosi's message and was busy sharing the good news with Jiang. Don't look at Jiang's usual silence, but since Hu Laosi left, she has become more and more quiet. The old lady knew that she was thinking about Hu Laosi, and she had to decide something.
"What, to open a store in the county seat?" Jiang Shi had always spoken softly, and at this moment his voice had risen an octave, and his face was full of disbelief.
After sending Hu Laosi as an apprentice, the old lady finally hit the Jiang family with her idea.
Wouldn't it be a pity that the embroidery skills of that hand were not spread?
The old lady's idea is to play well, and when Jiang teaches Hu Yan'er and Hu Yue'er, she will accept a few more students. Just like Xiucai teaches students, women also have to have a good craft.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, Jiang Shi refused with a panicked face:
"No, mother, I can't."
She was terrified, her eyes fluttered, and her whole body was full of rejection.
The old lady thought she was "social fear", and said that Jiang was responsible for embroidering when she opened the shop, and she would never let her see anyone. As soon as he heard this, Jiang refused even more.
"It's really not good, mother, I, I don't see anyone."
She had always been clean, and she didn't care about the dust on the ground, and knelt down in front of the old lady on the spot:
"Mother, please don't let me leave the Hu family."
Old Lady: "......"
How do you say that? No one asked you to leave the Hu family!
Before the old lady could explain, Douda's tears had already rolled down from Jiang's eyes. She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears, she knelt down in front of the old lady, burst into tears, and begged the old lady to take back her life.
In addition to trepidation and rejection, there was also deep fear in her eyes.
What is she afraid of?
Jiang's reaction frightened the old lady, she didn't expect that going to the city would have such a big impact on Jiang. Seeing that Jiang was crying breathlessly, the old lady was afraid that she would cry a lot, so she hurriedly took back her life.
"That's it, that's it, if you don't want to go, you won't go. My mother also asked casually, if you don't want to, forget it. ”
The old lady was busy wiping her tears, and the pear blossom brought rain to a beautiful woman's iron heart was also softened by her crying.
With the old lady's promise, Jiang finally stopped his tears. She hurriedly wiped her tears and returned a grateful smile to the old lady.
"Thank you, thank you." The beauty cried with a different charm, and the old lady sighed:
"Don't kneel, people will think I'm bullying you when they see it."
Jiang's body was fluttering, and the old lady picked her up without much effort.
"Mother didn't bully me, it's me, it's me ......" As he spoke, Jiang's eyes turned red again.
The old lady was afraid that she would cry again, so she hurriedly asked her to go back to the house and stay, but she didn't dare to mention anything about going to the county seat.
