Chapter 472 Heirloom
Lin Yue stood up and entered the north room, took out a box from the suitcase, walked to Zheng Wei and handed it over.
"Happy birthday."
"Thank you." She took it with a smile.
A group of people gathered around, and Xiaopang was shouting at the side: "Zheng Wei, what are you waiting for? Open it, the thing Lao Zhang gave you must be right."
The thin monkey behind also encouraged: "Don't you see how curious everyone is? You can't spoil everyone's fun."
Zheng Wei wanted to open the gift box secretly by herself. It felt like delicious but not much candy and she didn't want to share it with others. However, she looked at the eyes of the people around her and Lin Yue's encouraging eyes.
"Oh, don't get so close and block the light."
She was right. The lamp hanging on the shelf was not bright. The people next to her took a step back. Zheng Wei looked at the people and moved away. She hugged the box and ran out. Little did she know that Xu Kaiyang was even more of a thief than she was.
He stepped in front of him.
"I knew you were dishonest, where could you run?"
"Nasty guy." Zheng Wei glared at him fiercely, and seeing that she couldn't run away, she could only open the box with a grimace.
The dim lights fell, illuminating each of the interesting little people.
On a base with six petals, there are six around it, one in the middle, and seven little soft clay figures wearing different costumes and posing in different poses. Some of them are hunched over their waists, bulging their cheeks, looking ahead and sulking.
, some are lying on the desk with their hands on their chins and giggling, some are sitting on the small bench and crying, some are lying on the princess bed and dozing off...
The image is compelling, the movements and expressions are lifelike, and it has a feeling that people can't put it down.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the exquisite facial features of the soft clay figure are placed together, which reminds people of a person - Zheng Wei.
The similarity between her face and the face of the soft clay figure is not 90% but above 80%.
This was definitely not bought with money, it was definitely made by one's own hands, otherwise the impression of Zheng Wei would not be so vivid and lifelike after being embodied.
"You did it all?" Zheng Wei was stunned for a while, then raised his head and said with a complicated expression.
Lin Yue nodded: "Next door to the Guitar Club activity room is the Handicraft Club. I went there to play for a while while waiting for Gong Hao and the others. I met the quiet vice president of the Handicraft Club. She said that her grandfather made candy.
When I was young, I often went to the market with my grandfather to sell candy figures, and later I fell in love with making handicrafts. Anyway, I had nothing to do, and I thought I might be useful in making architectural models in the future, so I learned a little bit from her about pinching.
Human skill.”
Li Weijuan and others understood clearly after hearing this. In terms of model-making ability, Kai Kai was ranked second in the Department of Architecture. Basically no one dared to be ranked first. Otherwise, the department would not regard the architectural model he did for the final exam of his sophomore year as a
Excellent works are put in the exhibition hall for future generations to observe and learn. There are many similarities between making pottery and making models, and Zhang Kai has learned such solid basic art skills, so it is normal for him to be able to make fine works.
Xu Kaiyang still remembered that Wu Meng said that the vice president of the handicraft club had a slight tendency to be autistic. He never expected that classmate Lao Zhang had such an ability. The guy in front of him could always bring surprises to people.
Zheng Wei has different concerns from Li Weijuan and others. What she wants is that Zhang Kai clearly remembers her different moods and expresses her emotions in real objects. This can only mean one thing - daily life
He pays close attention to her every move in life.
It is true that Lin Yue pays close attention to her in daily life, but being able to remember her happy, angry, sad, and happy face is ultimately due to the talent of the "painter". "Li Wen" can draw Xiu Qing after only seeing her once.
, not to mention Ms. Zheng, who I sometimes see several times a day.
"Open, thank you, I like it very much." Zheng Wei looked into his eyes and thanked her seriously.
"You're welcome." Lin Yue said with a smile. He didn't notice the look in the depths of her eyes. His attention was all on Zhu Xiaobei.
Originally, he was wondering why the tomboy didn't call him to play basketball for a long time. Now that Zheng Wei was celebrating her birthday, the smile on her face was very forced when she saw these little soft clay figures.
Couldn't it be...she knows that Zheng Wei likes her, right? Add to that the fact that she has deliberately avoided herself and behaved abnormally in the past six months, so how could she possibly not know what was going on?
No, here comes another one?
Do even tomboys have such delicate thoughts?
"Old Zhang, it took a lot of time to make these seven clay figurines." Li Weijuan looked at Zheng Wei with jealousy.
"What clay figurine? This is called soft clay." The birthday boy glared at her fiercely, unhappy with the name of the clay figurine. After all, in her opinion, it was something to be kept as a family heirloom.
Ruan Guan joked on the side: "Juan'er is jealous."
"Yes." Li Weijuan clasped her fingernails and said, "I have never received such a romantic gift in my life."
"Don't be sad, you have it too." Lin Yue laughed dumbly, walked into the north room quickly, took out another box, returned to the shed and handed it to Xiaopang.
Several different baby faces were reflected under the light. The difference was that Zheng Wei's soft clay figurines came in a set of seven, while the others all had one.
Xiaopang quickly found himself------a person holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. His style was very similar to the first level BOSS in "Captain Hook".
Li Weijuan came to the side and took out a small soft clay figure that looked like herself from the box: "Lao Zhang just knows how to do things."
"I pinched a few more when I was preparing a birthday gift for Zheng Wei, but I didn't expect that I would actually use it." Lin Yue took out a basketball from the box, holding a basketball in his hand, with a football on the sole of his foot, and he looked full of energy in front of his fingers.
The full-looking soft clay man walked up to Zhu Xiaobei and said, "This is for you."
Zhu Xiaobei took the clay figurine and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head and looked at his face: "Thank you."
There was happiness and sadness in her eyes, and the amazing thing was that the two emotions were mixed together very naturally.
Lin Yue originally wanted to comfort her, but found that he couldn't do it. Zhu Xiaobei's character was more stubborn than expected and he loved to get into trouble.
Recalling the plot of the movie carefully, maybe she is this kind of person. Otherwise, why would she pretend not to know Xu Kaiyang after meeting her after not seeing her for many years? Faced with emotional problems, she is far less strong than Zheng Wei.
"When I came here before, I saw a newly opened KTV on Qian Street. It's still early, so why don't we go sing and I'll treat you." Xu Kaiyang was a little unwilling to be overtaken by Lin Yue again and suggested that he go to the front to sing.
"Okay, okay." Zheng Wei received a set of seven soft clay figures and was in high spirits, so of course he raised his hands in approval.
Li Weijuan said: "I recently learned a new song, I don't know if it is available over there."
"Just go and take a look and you'll find out." Zheng Wei walked over and took Zhu Xiaobei's hand: "Let's go, Xiaobei."
Skinny Monkey, Little Fatty, and Xu Kaiyang put the soft clay figures away and followed them outside.
Li Weijuan saw that Ruan Guan did not move.
"Ruan Ruan, what are you doing standing still? Let's go."
She pointed to the tableware and garbage on the table: "You guys go first, I'll pack up the things and go."
Lin Yue said: "Let me help you, it will be faster."
Ruan Guan nodded and did not refuse.
Li Weijuan looked at Zheng Wei and others who were walking out of the small courtyard: "Then you two have finished cleaning up and come over quickly."
After that, he walked outside.
"Okay." Lin Yue agreed casually while taking the bench out of the way.
A few minutes later, after clearing away the tableware, tables, chairs and benches, the two of them left the small courtyard and walked towards the front street. The weather was slightly cooler in October, which was a good time for barbecue. Several middle-aged men wearing vests and slippers were sitting around the dining table.
They were eating meat skewers and drinking beer, talking about the latest happenings in the city.
The hardware store next to it had closed, and the proprietress closed the rusty security door and locked it with an iron chain.
Lin Yue stopped halfway, pointed to the big banyan tree at the end of the street and said, "I want to go over there and have a look."
Ruan Guan said: "It's so late..."
"Actually, I've been paying attention to that big banyan tree for a long time. Unfortunately, Mr. Xu and Zheng Wei insisted on seeing you wearing national costumes during the day. They went to Laozhai for a stroll in the afternoon and never had time to go."
"good."
Ruan Guan agreed and followed him towards the big banyan tree, which is the landmark of the small town.
The ancient tree is majestic, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The diameter of the trunk is about four or five meters. Its crown is so towering that it covers the sky... The moon, standing below and looking at it, almost blocks the starry sky. There are several red ropes tied more than one meter above the head.
It looks very ceremonial.
In the movie, Zheng Wei did some indescribable things with Chen Xiaozheng here...
Lin Yue walked under the big banyan tree, looked up at the tree crown, took a deep breath, and fresh oxygen poured into his alveoli, making his whole body feel much better.
Ruan Guan walked to him, looked at the big banyan tree and said, "You know, this tree has lived for two thousand years. In the hearts of the Buyi people, it is the most precious thing in the town."
Lin Yue pointed to the red rope above his head: "What does this mean?"
Ruan Guan took two steps to the side, sat down on the grass, and said with a smile: "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
Lin Yue shrugged: "Don't ancient trees like this generally have allusions? I want to hear them."
Ruan Guan bent his legs and hugged his knees with his arms: "A long time ago, a young man named Yi Ge and a girl named Rong Mei fell in love at first sight under the banyan tree..."
"Many years later, this tree was regarded as a matchmaking tree by the Buyi compatriots. Every autumn, lovers from nearby towns would come here to make good wishes for it."
Lin Yue sat down next to her: "It's just autumn now, do you want me to make a wish, dream about love or something?"
Ruan Guan made him laugh: "You, you have all the girls from Jingnan Institute of Technology to choose from. What do you want to say? Do you know what the newly admitted school girls this year will say when they see the architectural model you made in the exhibition room of the School of Architecture?"
"say what?"
"Said that if the producer was still in school, she would definitely chase him down."
"Sometimes being too good is a worry."
"poor."
Lin Yue smiled slightly, stretched his hand into his pocket, and when he took it out again, there was an object in his palm: "This is for you."
