The family walked out of the alley, chatting and laughing, and walked forward for a long time. They arrived at the city gate and then arrived at Fan's store.
Tang Youxiang reined in the donkey, hugged his daughter, jumped off, and called inside: "Is the shopkeeper here?"
"Here you are! Sir..." Following this sound, a tall man came out to greet him. He smiled mid-sentence: "My voice sounds just like yours."
As soon as Mi Bao saw that bearded face, his memory came back to him.
Fatty Tuanzi perked up and shouted loudly before everyone else: "Uncle!!"
Uncle Fan came down two steps. Hearing this sound, he suddenly stopped and pointed in surprise: "Mi Bao'er? Is this Mi Bao'er?"
Mrs. Fan had already stood up with a smile and got off the donkey cart with the support of her son: "Otherwise, why should I bring another family's child over?"
She couldn't help but laugh as she said: "Mi Bao is ready! Brother! Mi Bao is fine!"
"Really?" Uncle Fan quickly came down and took it with open hands: "Mi Bao'er, come on, call uncle and listen!"
Mi Bao hugged his bearded face, and because he felt a little guilty, he was extra affectionate: "Uncle!" Her little voice screamed: "Mi Bao misses you! Mi Bao has missed his uncle for a long time.
! Mi Bao has wanted to visit his uncle for a long time!"
Phew! It's not time for you to drag the cunning rabbit into three holes.
Tang Youxiang and others couldn't stop laughing. Tang Youxiang kept laughing while unloading the basket.
Uncle Fan was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot, a tough man with a beard: "Good boy, good boy! Uncle misses Mi Bao too!"
Mrs. Fan smiled and said: "Mi Bao'er's little mouth is sweet! You will believe it if I coax you."
"I believe it," Uncle Fan said, "I just want to ask Mi Bao'er to coax him!"
Madam Fan called her brother and couldn't help but feel a sore nose. She gave him an angry look and stopped talking.
Uncle Fan said: "Come on, come in first, it's too hot outside."
Tang Youxiang carried the basket and put it by the door, then got on the donkey cart and drove it to the courtyard.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a month, the brothers from the Tang family all had a lot to say to their uncle, so they gathered in a circle around him and spoke quickly in a low voice, except that they didn't say anything about gods.
Uncle Fan's name is Fan Weiquan. Although he looks rough and arrogant, he has been living in the world since he was a child. He is really a bold, careful and calculating person.
He kept nodding his head as he listened, and said: "Wu Liang is indeed strange, but it is none of our business. Don't say that I am close to you. Even if I am close to your grandpa, I still have to persuade him.
, what about his biological son? He must be cut off if he wants to, then Tang Youfu is stupid, bad and mischievous, and it will bring trouble to the family in vain. It is a good thing that he left on his own."
Lady Fan whispered: "I actually think so too."
Uncle Fan returned his hand and pinched Mi Bao's chubby face, and then asked, "Has Mi Bao found a good doctor?"
"No," Mrs. Fan said, "I suddenly recovered. It was a blessing in disguise. The village doctor checked my pulse and said it was fine."
She explained in detail, and Uncle Fan smiled and nudged her again: "Very good, Mi Bao'er, are you going home? Your cousin is always thinking about you!"
Mrs. Fan smiled and said: "I have something to do today, so I won't go. I'll go there another day."
She started talking about carving wood, and Uncle Fan stood up with Mi Bao in his arms: "Let's go, I'll take you around."
He called Tang Youxiang out, told the waiter, and came out.
Uncle Fan was very good at socializing. There was no place in the county he was not familiar with, and there was no one he couldn't talk to. He greeted people all the way and entered a carpentry workshop.
The boss inside was a middle-aged man, and he was obviously very familiar with him. Uncle Fan was not polite and said directly after entering the door: "Old Xu! My nephew likes to carve wood. I brought him here to play, and he secretly came along. division."
The boss laughed and said, "Okay, I'll steal it if you want!"
Uncle Fan turned around and said, "Call Uncle Xu. If you don't understand something, just ask. There's no need to be polite to him."
As soon as I heard these words from the two of them, I knew that it must be a life-long friendship. Craftsmanship is valuable these days, and it was not a life-long friendship. I didn't dare to say such a thing.
Tang Minglu quickly called Uncle Xu, and then began to take a closer look. Mi Bao also followed and looked around.
This family obviously makes furniture, but today's furniture is all carved, and the carvings are very beautiful. Some wooden screens only rely on carving and wood grain to carve out that kind of scenery or street scene, and the carving is lifelike. Very pretty.
Mibao was being held by his uncle, and his little face was about to fall on him. His two little hands wanted to hold him up but didn't dare to hold him up. From time to time he made a sound of admiration: "Wow!!"
This straightforward admiration obviously made Boss Xu very happy. He asked: "Is this little baby your niece?"
Uncle Fan smiled and said, "Yes."
"how old are you?"
Uncle Fan said: "I will be three years old in December."
"Oh," Boss Xu looked at him curiously: "Those big eyes are really smart, and he looks like a clever person. This mole also looks good, so he is lucky."
Uncle Fan laughed and said, "Yes, our Mibao is a lucky girl."
Boss Xu casually took a small wooden bird from the table and said, "Come on, Mi Bao, uncle will give you a little gadget to play with."
Tang Youxiang said quickly: "No, no, I've already troubled Brother Xu, and I don't dare to ask you to spend any more money."
"You're welcome," Boss Xu said with a smile, "It's not worth much, it's just a piece of scrap material, just for carving. Besides, I have been friends with Lao Fan for many years, so I don't care about this."
Uncle Fan had already grabbed it and handed it to Mi Bao.
Mi Bao was also very happy and said quickly: "Thank you uncle, uncle will definitely make a fortune and make a fortune every day!"
Boss Xu laughed heartily: "Good boy, then uncle will thank Wa'er for your good wishes."
Only then did Mi Bao take it.
This carving is of a parrot, and it has also been painted. It is completely different from the carving method of later generations where one can see the cuts one by one. The whole parrot, if you don't touch it, is just like the real thing. Every cut is a The texture of the feathers, the fine hairs on the chest, and the feathers on the wings are all carved to perfection.
She originally thought that the rabbit carved by the third brother was really good, but when compared with a real craftsman, she felt that the rabbit carved by the third brother was a bit rough.
So, if the competition comes, how can the third brother win?
Fat Tuanzi frowned, a little worried.
Tang Minglu was already cautiously asking for advice. When Uncle Fan saw Mi Bao no longer looking, he carried her out and walked back and forth on the nearby street.
The uncle was very tall and had broad shoulders. Being held by him, Mibao felt very safe. She looked around with her little head, and then she saw a familiar figure at a glance.
She was so frightened that she suddenly buried her little head, which even startled Uncle Fan: "Mi Bao?"
She covered his mouth and commanded him: "Uncle, hurry up and step back!"
When Uncle Fan raised his head, he saw Granny Shi not far away.
He wanted to speak, but her little hands were still covering her tightly, and her nervous little body was stiff. Uncle Fan felt a little like having fun, and did not look back. He stepped back step by step, and then she pointed to the side: "Quick, hide behind
Here! It’s the safest place!”
Fan Laojianghu Weiquan hid silently.
Then, Mi Bao quietly raised his head, tilted his little body to that side, held his two small hands against the wall, and quietly, quietly poked his head out.
