The salary of enterprise employees is only four to five hundred yuan per month. Five thousand is not a small amount of money. The budget for printing expenses is five thousand. Now, my cousin has come with another five thousand. I can't push it away, and even if it is a lot of money, it will be burned.
Hands. In the midst of a dilemma, my cousin turned away and talked to his father about the old days when he was an educated youth. My mother, who was also an educated youth, also sat down to drink with her.
On weekdays, Jin Huabin rarely saw his mother drinking. Unexpectedly, when he picked up the wine glass, he found that her drinking capacity was quite good. After half a glass of liquor, she drank three glasses in a short time. The three educated youths were in the same team.
, there were many common topics. Seeing that they were drinking happily and chatting lively, Jin Huabin hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, and when he had time, he called Zhang Guifang to explain the situation.
"It would be better for both families to publish in the county magazine together. He is in Sanmen and we are in Xianju. The content can be enriched a lot and there will be no conflict with each other in business. This is a good thing for him and us." On the other end of the phone, Zhang Guifang's words made him
I took a reassurance.
"Today, my parents and cousin were both drunk. I have to take care of them and can't make it." Jin Huabin lowered his voice and said, "We'll meet at the old place tomorrow night."
Jin Huabin heard her reply on the phone in a very gentle tone: "I'll wait for you at the same place. See you there." For a moment, he was reluctant to hang up the phone and chatted for a long time without any problem. He could hear the whole room in the living room.
Dad was calling for more food, so he reluctantly put the phone down.
Back at the banquet, they saw the three of them drinking wine one glass at a time. After about an hour, my cousin's face turned red and his nose turned into rosacea. He was a little tipsy, so he stood up and took his father to the study room and said, "Old man
Brother, you are fifty-seven this year, and in three years it will be your sixtieth birthday. Let me prepare a birthday gift for you in advance. How about writing a few characters for longevity? Where are the rice paper and calligraphy brush?"
My father was also drunk, and he said in a loud voice: "Writing a few words is not enough. One year old is fifty-seven. If the fonts are repeated, I will be fined one drink. And my wife, who is fifty-five years old, will give it to me as a gift."
It makes no sense not to send her as a gift, we have to add fifty-five more."
Among the three of them, relatively speaking, the mother was the most sober. Although her face was as red as blood, her words were still very clear. She said to him: "Arguing with a drunkard is the same as talking to a stone. They won't listen at all. I
Go to your room and rest for a while, don't worry about me, I'll leave them to you, as long as nothing happens."
This was the first time that Jin Huabin's mother had drunk so much alcohol since he could remember it. He hurriedly helped his mother into the room and said, "Mom, don't worry, I can take care of this place."
When I returned to the kitchen, I saw that my father and cousin had disappeared. There was a sound in the study. I walked over and saw that my cousin was shaking. He found a pen and paper in the study, spread them on the table, and started writing.
There are more than a dozen Chinese characters in different fonts, each with half a square meter. This is what he often writes as a template when carving. Naturally, it spreads freely and penetrates the back of the paper. But my father was already drunk on the chair, snoring loudly.
Ring.
He talked too much when he was drunk, so he took Jin Huabin and babbled: "Don't worry about your dad. He was always drunk when he was an educated youth. He will be fine after a while. Do you know that what your uncle is best at is not the Chinese characters for longevity, but the paintings?"
, at the seaside, people begging me to carve windows and paintings line up from one side of the island to the other, but the people in the sea are different from the people in the mountains. They have a lot of money, and they earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands as soon as they go to sea.
The paintings are often engraved with characters and stories drawn one by one, such as "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "Liu Hai Playing with Toads", "Three Stars of Fortune, Luxury and Longevity", "Two Immortals in Harmony", "Fishermen, Woodcutters, Farmers and Readings", "Infant Play", etc.
Figure-type decorations. The most carved window decoration is Mazu. Do you know what Mazu is? She is not the mother’s ancestor, the great-grandmother, but a goddess who is as famous as Guanyin. Relief sculptures are needed to carve these figures, and the round sculptures are the only ones.
Fullness, and finally openwork, allow light to pass through from behind. The light that passes through should not be too strong or too weak, so that it can shine brightly in the backlight. This is like the blank space in Chinese painting. Only when it is appropriate can it have a magical effect. " Looking at his sleeping father, his cousin suddenly became interested and said, "Look at your dad, does he look like the Eight Immortals in Wine? I'll draw a picture of a Drunken Immortal and make fun of him."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the brush and used the freehand brushwork technique of traditional Chinese painting. With a few very simple lines, he drew the image of his drunken father, which was extremely expressive. My cousin looked left and right and said proudly: "Li Bai's hundred poems about drinking wine"
, I never thought I could draw so well after drinking. By the way, I can carve him into a painting as his birthday gift."
Speaking of excitement, my hands were itchy, so I wanted to find a stone slab and a chisel to demonstrate. Because of my father's professional relationship, in addition to pens, inks, paper and inkstones, there was a full set of wood carving tools and some wooden boards in the study. My cousin's stonemason was made by
The joiner changed his profession and was very good at wood carving. He was so happy that he pasted the painting on the wooden board and said: "Look, I will use the wooden board to show you how to carve at a time. The window pattern pays great attention to artistic contrast."
It is indispensable with combination, size, height, thickness, density, virtuality and solidity, movement and stillness, symmetry, echo, etc. The Drunken Immortal Picture I carved can definitely be famous all over the world."
Facing his cousin's drunken introduction, Jin Huabin could only nod in agreement. After his cousin finished speaking, he pasted the picture on the wooden board with glue, picked up the chisel and began to chisel it out in an orderly manner, but his drunken hands were shaking and disobedient.
, after a few chisels, his hand slipped, and a long scratch appeared on the wooden board. Jin Huabin hurriedly took the chisel and said: "Uncle, you drank too much, you can carve again after you sober up tomorrow."
My cousin struggled to find another carving knife and said, "Well, I haven't played with wood carving for more than ten years, and my hand is raw. The characters carved by your uncle and me have gone to the sea. Come with me to the seaside, and you will know how to do it."
I know that my uncle is not lying at all." As soon as he finished speaking, my cousin immediately fell drunk and fell to the ground, roaring loudly, and finally managed to get him on the bed.
The next morning, Jin Huabin woke up early and ran to his father's study. There was a carved wooden window lattice on the table. In the center of the window, there was a middle-aged man who was drunk and could marry.
He looked like a recluse, and when he saw this face, he obviously looked like his father. He hurriedly ran to his cousin to take a look, but there was no trace of him. It turned out that his cousin woke up from drinking in the middle of the night and put the clothes in the study.
After the carving of this window was completed, he left here and went home. What a strange person, with the style of an ancient drinker.
Jin Huabin took the wooden window to the Cultural Station and handed it to Stationmaster Yang. Stationmaster Yang looked at him and said: "Your cousin's calligraphy and paintings are impeccable. He cannot be regarded as a calligrapher or painter, but
He is definitely a calligrapher and painter, but it is a pity that the theme this time is stone windows and he did not bring many pictures."
"How about we go to Sanmen Shepan Island with our cameras, but this is beyond the scope of Xianju." Jin Huabin asked Stationmaster Yang anxiously for instructions.
