Gu Xian's movements this time were much faster than usual.
A lot of inspirations burst out in his mind, and then he realized them one by one on the carving knife.
It only took just one hour until it was completed, and Huang Cuicui and the others hadn't even finished lunch yet.
"So lovely."
Gu Huai, who had been accompanying him all this time, spoke out and touched the petals of the plum blossom.
Gu Xian is indeed a dedicated carpenter from all over the world. He has a solid foundation and his skills are indeed good. However, probably his master only taught him the craft of making furniture before, so everything looks the same.
Gu Xian is just a craftsman, but he does not possess originality.
Now that he has the prototype of his ingenuity, it depends on how he grasps it next.
The petals of plum blossoms are printed with dots of red, which are the patterns of wood, and they look somewhat realistic from a distance.
The wood carvings will not be truly complete until they are polished and colored, but just leave them to Gu Xian directly, and he will not disappoint himself.
"Brother, come to my house and give it to me after you finish making it." Gu Huai said, "I have to leave in about time."
Gu Xian watched Gu Huai get up, feeling a little reluctant.
He really likes his cousin a little bit.
But he generally doesn't express his emotions.
He said: "Goodbye."
Then looking at Gu Huai's back, he felt a little disappointed.
If my cousin learns carpentry from me, he will definitely be very good.
Gu Xian thought to himself, but he felt that his cousin did not mean this at all.
what a pity.
Gu Xian sighed, sat back to his original position, lowered his head and started doing his own thing.
When Gu Huai returned to the dining room, Gu Zhongyi was fistfighting with his eldest brother, and Huang Cuicui and his two sisters-in-law didn't know what they were mumbling about.
Several children had already disappeared without a trace.
Gu Huai sat down quietly next to him.
Gu's wife said to Huang Cuicui: "Studying is a good thing. Didn't the third child just go to school and then go to the city?"
Huang Cuicui had a look of disapproval: "The third child didn't go to the city. He went to the city to become a bride. What's the good thing about that? Our Agu is our loyal incense, but we can't go to any city to be a bride-in-law.
husband."
Gu's wife whispered: "So what? Last time, we, Xian, were called to buy new furniture for them. Didn't you see that their little ones were eating an apple a day?"
Huang Cuicui's eyes widened.
She had heard of apples, which were said to be sour, sweet and very delicious, but she had only heard of them and had never smelled them.
She also whispered: "Really one day?"
Gu's wife: "Isn't that right? What they say is that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Just an apple as big as a fist can cure all diseases!"
Huang Cuicui's eyes widened, but her voice became lower: "Is it really so magical?"
Mrs. Gu: "Really, Mr. Huang in the village, you know, his son went to the city and brought him one before. He said that after eating it, his waist would not be sore, his legs would not hurt, and he could live for several more years.
"
Huang Cuicui: "So smart?"
Gu's wife nodded: "Isn't that right? I saw that the old man's face was glowing in the past few days, and his voice was much louder."
Huang Cuicui: "Isn't that a panacea? How much does it cost?"
Gu’s wife: “It’s not expensive, only fifty cents more?”
"how much for one?"
Huang Cuicui didn't suppress her voice, and her sudden sharp voice made everyone look at her.
Mrs. Gu patted her hand: "That's fifty cents more! Why are you making such a loud noise?"
"Just such a big fruit, 50 cents each?" Huang Cuicui's face changed, "I won't eat anything precious!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of Gu was proud: "After the Chinese New Year, when we, Xian, have finished the work at hand, treat me to an apple. It's fifty cents more for one! The little one is fifty cents more!"
Huang Cuicui never expected that Mrs. Gu would be waiting here.
Where was she talking about apples to herself? She clearly wanted to tell herself in a different way that her son would buy her apples to eat, and he would also buy them for fifty cents each!
Huang Cuicui suddenly felt a little envious.
But it was impossible for her to express envy.
She said stubbornly: "It's just fruit, what's so delicious about it? I don't want to eat something so expensive. With this money, I might as well eat a few meals of meat and feel comfortable."
Gu's wife: "Oh, there's nothing I can do. I told A-Xian the same thing, but A-Xian is a filial child, so there's really nothing I can do about it."
Huang Cuicui gritted her teeth.
Damn it! I was shown off!
She originally wanted to touch her clothes and ask for two yuan, but how long would the clothes last? She ate the apple in two bites.
Can this be compared?
Huang Cuicui felt a little helpless.
She racked her brains and didn't think of anything else she could come up with to compare with Mrs. Gu.
Just when she sighed and was about to give up, Gu Xian hurriedly walked out, saw Gu Huai, and walked up to him: "Brother Gu, please keep the money. I won't charge you for doing the work."
He worked for a while and then realized that Gu Huai had not taken away the bills that he had placed on his workbench.
The people in my family are not doing difficult work and do not need to be paid.
Besides, his mother nags in his ear every day, saying that it is not easy to take care of the family, and it is not easy to raise several children. If you can give them more bundles for the New Year, you can make more bundles, and if you can cook more meat and vegetables, just cook more.
Meat dishes--
The children in Ergu's family are all skinny and skinny, and they definitely don't have much to eat on weekdays. It's better to stew more meat. The children like to eat it, so I also ask them to eat more to make up for what they don't eat.
After hearing more, Gu Xian felt that his cousin was living in poverty and there was no need to give him money.
He is still young, so he can pay it back when he grows up.
Gu Huai refused: "No, I'll give it to you as promised. I never lie."
Gu Xian frowned: "It's not easy for my second uncle to earn two dollars, so you might as well keep it."
Gu Huai still refused: "I've already given it to you, brother, just keep it and don't think about me."
After all, if he took Gu Xian's carving, he might sell it for five or ten times.
Gu Xian wanted to say something more, but Huang Cuicui suddenly thought of what she should say:
"Ah Xian, just take it. Our Ah Gu went to the provincial capital with Zhongyi last time and made a lot of money. We also sold the couplets and saved a lot of money."
Having said this, Huang Cuicui was a little proud: "Maybe A Gu has more money than me who saves money."
Huang Cuicui's words were actually just to flatter Gu Huai, and she didn't really think so. But how could she imagine that this was the fact.
In fact, let alone Gu Huai, even the indifferent Gu Xiaoliu has a huge sum of money in his hands.
Gu's wife's face turned a little pale. She didn't believe it at all: "How old is Gu? You can make money. Huang Cuicui, please speak carefully and don't let the strong wind dazzle your tongue!"
If Gu Huai can make money, then sows can climb trees.
Who doesn’t know that her Gu Huai is a complete loser and can still make money? Bah! Bah bah bah!
