Tang Mingqi sighed for a long time. When he lowered his head and saw his sister's expression, he couldn't help but smile: "Stop talking, Mi Bao'er is still young and can't listen to this."
The fat dumpling turned around, opened his arms, and hugged his brother, trying to comfort him.
Tang Mingbai said: "So our village is famous for being a clique, and other villages don't dare to mess with it. If you ask me, the new patriarch is still a little bit in trouble, like..." He looked outside and spoke in a breathy voice.
He said: "If an evil bitch like Old Mrs. Shi is still in charge these years, how can she be tolerated if the old patriarch is still in charge? Even with a slap in the face, I have to ask my grandpa to send us to school."
He paused for a moment: "But the old woman was also surprised. Tang Youfu didn't go to school. I heard that her eldest nephew had gone to school for two years. Didn't he just use our family's money? Otherwise, what kind of money would the Shi family have? Is it possible that she felt that
You are closer to your brother than your son??"
Tang Minglin also said: "I really can't understand."
But he added: "It's different. The elders of the old clan are senior and have great prestige. The new clan leader has been with my grandpa all his life, and he has been hanging out with my father's generation since he was a child. How should we do it? I think the new clan leader
The people are also very nice.”
Tang Mingqi said: "Okay, stop scaring Mi Baoer again."
Everyone was silent, and then they only listened to the sound of Tang Minglu carving wood. Mi Bao turned around and said, "What is the third brother carving?"
When she asked, everyone turned to look.
I saw several little rabbits in the round basket on Tang Minglu's lap, some standing and some sitting, very vivid.
Tang Mingqi reached out and took one. Mi Bao took a look at it. The rabbit was as big as her fist, and it was squatting. The ears and hair were all sculpted to perfection. It was cute, but the back didn't seem to be finished.
Tang Minglu said embarrassedly: "I wanted to carve a rabbit for Mibao'er, but I couldn't carve it well. I wasted several pieces of wood."
Mi Bao then remembered that the day she first came back, her brother told her to carve a rabbit for her.
Mi Bao couldn't help but said: "But it's very good! It's very cute!"
Tang Mingbai also said: "I think it's very good. What's wrong?"
Tang Minglu pointed and said: "Look, these knives are very fierce and destroy the charm. Here, the knives here are too cruel, and there is no such richness... I want to play with Mibao, and I must carve the cutest one."
Yes, just touch the one that feels most comfortable."
Mi Bao suddenly said: "Third brother!!"
Tang Minglu was startled by her small voice: "What's wrong?"
The little chubby dumpling looked serious: "Then, if you don't give Mi Bao a carving, you don't have to be so perfect, right?"
Tang Minglu smiled and nodded: "Yes, if it's not for Mi Bao'er, it doesn't have to be too good."
The fat dumpling leaned towards him, pointing with his little fingers: "This, this... these are all carved very well and can be sold! Brother, have you ever thought about carving a rabbit, for example... for example
explain……"
The really illiterate fat dumpling thought for a long time before he remembered: "For example, if the rabbit has wings, it means that it will make great achievements (rabbit), and if the rabbit takes ingots, it will make money (rabbit) without limit... In short, that's it.
This way, you can sell it for money! You can sell it for a lot of money!!"
Everyone even stopped pulling the candy with their tongues, and then Tang Minglin was the first to nod: "Yes! Yes!!"
Tang Mingbai was so excited that the candy in his mouth almost spit out: "Yes! Mi Bao'er is so smart! You can carve so fast and so well, I don't think the ones sold in the county store are that good! You can definitely sell them for money.
!”
Tang Mingqi kept his brother awake: "Yes, you can try it. Next year is the Year of the Rabbit. Rabbit items will definitely be easy to sell. Even if you don't mention this, many ornaments with good intentions will also be easy to sell!"
Tang Minglin said: "It's best to have sex."
"Yes, color it," Tang Mingqi also said, "Go back to the store and ask where this kind of paint is sold."
Several children were extremely excited, and Mibao had already started searching the space.
She quickly found several large boxes, obviously from the wood carving shop, so she used various woods, such as sandalwood, mahogany, and huanghuali; various carving knives, such as flat-mouthed and round-mouthed needle knives; and various pigments, grinding
Stones, polishing wax...we made a batch of them all and put them on the third brother's bed.
Everyone was still having heated discussions, and even took out the slate they usually used to practice calligraphy and drew pictures on it.
Mi Bao finally realized that she had forgotten something, so Tang Minglin took the branch and was about to draw when he noticed a pile of paper suddenly appeared on the slate.
Tang Minglin gasped at that time, and the branches almost fell to the ground.
Tang Mingqi stood up abruptly.
Tang Mingbai stood up, and even Tang Minglu gathered his tools and stood up.
The four brothers gathered around, and none of them dared to touch it. They couldn't help but move back. They only stretched their heads and stared at it: "Is this... the fairy's paper? It's so white and so thin!"
A small chubby hand stretched out from the thorn, and slapped it onto the paper.
Tang Mingbai quickly reached out to catch her hand, squatted down, and moved her hand to his face: "Mi Bao, paper is very expensive, so you can't take pictures randomly! Just take pictures of my brother's face."
Mi Bao: “…??”
She originally thought that her second cousin should be the smartest one in her eldest uncle's family, but at the critical moment, Zhuge's naive temperament could no longer be concealed.
Mibao'er gently touched his second cousin's face, expressing his pity for the IQ little basin to the IQ abyss.
Tang Mingbai didn't pay attention and still watched helplessly. The second brother also said: "The fairy paper is different from the paper on the market."
Is it different?
Mibao was still stunned. This was the most common A4 paper. She didn't even forget to remove the outer packaging. There were ten packages of paper, a thick stack. She felt so smart.
But when the second brother puts it like this...it seems like the paper in costume TV dramas is rolled up into a long line.
She quickly searched for it in the space, and sure enough she found it, but when she took it out now, she always felt that she looked like a god and not very smart. She might as well do it next time. She was practicing calligraphy anyway. It didn't matter whether the paper was good or bad.
While she was thinking about it, she searched in the box near the paper and found a pile of brushes, ink blocks and inkstones, and placed them on another stone slab far away.
The children were talking in the house while Tang Youxiang finished killing the deer outside.
He was a skilled man and handled it quickly and cleanly. He said: "Venison is very hot, so don't eat too much. Just eat it for fun. Jinxiu, you can send these pieces to the Yougui family, the Dongsheng family, and the Yuesheng family. These are
A few larger pieces will be given to the patriarch’s family, the village doctor’s family, and Xiaoman’s family.”
Mrs. Fan sat on the pot and asked Tang Mingsong to watch the fire while she and Mrs. Bao went home to deliver it.
After sending it back, Mrs. Bao's eyes flashed back and forth. She wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it, and kept poking at Tang Youji.
Tang Youxiang saw it and said: "These two pieces, as well as yesterday's wild boar meat, sorted out two portions. Jinxiu, we will go to the county town tomorrow and send them to my uncle and the others on the way. Sister-in-law, you
I’ll also give some to your parents’ family.”
Mrs. Bao was overjoyed and praised without hesitation: "His second uncle is so generous and open-minded in his work, man! Don't worry, I am a married woman. I just want to go back and see if they are not starving to death. We have fairy things in our family. I
I will never say a word to them! I understand all these things! I am not the kind of person who is unlucky!"
