After a while of jingling, the four legs of the wooden chair were stable. Li Jingchen then repaired the seat, back and finally the armrests.
During the process, Lu Wanwan couldn't help but glance at him, and found that his hands were steady and strong, and his eyes were focused, like a master craftsman, while she? She was just a layman at best.
At this moment, Li Jingchen's voice sounded: "Screw."
Lu Wanwan quickly found a screw from his feet and handed it to him: "Here it is!"
Li Jingchen, who was concentrating on the finishing work, grabbed her hand without looking.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. His expression changed from concentration to gentle expression, which made Lu Wanwan feel like her heart was electrocuted.
This kind of moment of unity without quarrels is rare for them today.
At this moment, the old woman's old voice sounded: "Are you all back?"
Lu Wanwan immediately retracted his hand and said to the old lady: "Grandma, are you awake? I kept you waiting, the chair will be repaired for you soon!"
Li Jingchen took the screws that Lu Wanwan left in his palm, screwed up the loose armrest, put down the hammer and said to the old lady: "Old man, the chair has been repaired, do you want to come over and check it out?"
The old lady hurriedly walked over and saw that there were many patches on the wooden chair. She stretched out her skinny hands to touch this and that. Seeing how cautious she was, Li Jingchen couldn't help but said: "You can sit down and try, if there is any
If it's not stable, I'll reinforce it."
The old lady nodded and sat down carefully.
Seeing that the wooden chair did not fall apart anymore, Lu Wanwan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the old lady silently getting up and going out.
Lu Wanwan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Grandma, isn't she... dissatisfied?"
Li Jingchen said: "If you are not satisfied, then I will make an exact one for her again until she is satisfied."
After a while, I saw the old lady leaving and returning, holding two pendants in her hands.
It is said to be a pendant, but it is actually just a red string with a few beads strung on it. Street vendors in the city will not sell such ordinary styles.
But Lu Wanwan remembered that on the first night she stayed here, she saw the old lady sitting in front of the door stringing beads. So this was done by the old lady herself?
As Lu Wanwan's thoughts were wandering, the old lady said kindly: "This is a thank you gift for helping me repair the chair. I don't have anything valuable at home, so I hope you don't dislike it."
Lu Wanwan said quickly: "Grandma, this is what we should do. I stepped on your chair!"
Li Jingchen said: "It's not her fault, it's me who shook your chair."
"That doesn't matter anymore, it has returned to its original state." The old lady looked at them and said with a smile: "Children, you are too tall, can you lower your heads?"
Facing the old man's request, Li Jingchen and Lu Wanwan couldn't refuse anymore, so they both lowered their heads, which was a bit like "worshiping the heaven and the earth".
The old lady put pendants on them and said -
"This is red bean."
"One person, one string."
"Send to you."
"I wish you never to be separated in all our lives."
When Lu Wanwan heard this, he immediately raised his head and said, "No, grandma, we are not..."
"Since it's a gift from grandma, don't refuse it." Li Jingchen interrupted her gently and said to the old man: "Thank you grandma, we will definitely live up to your expectations."
