Exclusive secret love: Husband please restrain yourself

The land here, even every plant and tree, has been deeply integrated with Master Yang, and it is human nature not to part with it.

However, for an old man like Master Yang who needs to enjoy his old age in peace, is it good or bad to be so nostalgic?
Su Xiaoluo thought, no one will ever know the answer.

Everyone is an independent individual, with their own ideas and the path they want to go. No one is anyone, and no one can really understand anyone.

Master Yang is unwilling to leave his hometown where he has lived all his life. In order to stay on the familiar land, he would rather grow old alone with no one to serve him. He still thinks it is worth it.And his children must not understand the old father's thoughts, and maybe feel that the old man is too stubborn and stubborn.

In the eyes of young people, family happiness is more important than anything else to enjoy their old age peacefully.

"Little girl, drink tea."

Su Xiaoluo regained consciousness, there was an extra cup of tea in front of her, the hands holding the teacup were full of wrinkles and calluses, and the rough fingers were the imprints left by years of rubbing the carved wood.

She smiled, "Thank you, Master Yang."

Master Yang moved the corner of his mouth and revealed a simple and honest smile.

This was the first time that Su Xiaoluo saw Master Yang with a serious smile and an amiable smile.She thought that if she was Master Yang's child, she would definitely find a compromise, neither to let the old man lose what he wanted to keep, nor to let him grow old alone.

Master Yang brought another cup of tea to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen didn't show the slightest dislike, but took the teacup, put it to his lips, and took a few sips.

Praise: "Good tea."

Jiang Chen's politeness, gentleness and humility made Master Yang slightly taken aback, "In the countryside, there is no good tea. The tea is grown by ourselves and made by hand, as long as you don't dislike it."

Su Xiaoluo said sincerely: "Some things cannot be measured by money, no matter how much money you have, you can't buy them."

Master Yang nodded in agreement, and said with emotion: "Yes, but how many people can understand this truth."

Su Xiaoluo didn't know what to say, no amount of words could heal the regret in Master Yang's heart.Sometimes, language seems pale and powerless.

Jiang Chen took out the DSLR, and after some adjustments, he said to Master Yang: "Master Yang, can I take some photos here?"

"You can shoot whatever you want."

Jiang Chen nodded, greeted Su Xiaoluo, walked outside the door, carefully observed the courtyard for a week, and began to take pictures.

Su Xiaoluo then walked to the door, saw Jiang Chen holding up the camera and seriously taking pictures, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise, changing out of his suit and leather shoes, Jiang Chen with a DSLR on his back, casually made people feel kind and beautiful.

"Are you a young couple?"

Su Xiaoluo turned her head, Master Yang came behind her at some point, staring at Jiang Chen, but was asking Su Xiaoluo.

"Yeah." Su Xiaoluo nodded with a smile, and asked, "How did Master Yang see it?"

"I'm from here. If my wife is still here, we are more loving than you." Master Yang raised his head and looked at the blue sky. His eyes seemed to see a distant place through the sky, and the corners of his eyes and lips were full of tenderness. smile.

Su Xiaoluo's eyebrows are crooked with a smile, yes, Master Yang doesn't want to leave here, the biggest reason is not only the puppet he loved all his life, but also because the woman he loved and accompanied all his life was buried under this land.

How could he be willing to leave?
"Master Yang, you live here alone, are you lonely?"

Master Yang shook his head, and said slowly: "My wife and I have lived here for decades, and every bit of this place is the trace of our life, as if she is still by my side, how can I be lonely?"

Su Xiaoluo said enviously: "That's great."

Master Yang said: "In the future, you will be so good."

"Well, I will." No matter what happens, as long as the original intention remains the same and we persevere to the end, there is nothing wrong with it.

Master Yang didn't speak any more, but still stared at the sky in a daze.

Su Xiaoluo knew that he was remembering, so she didn't make a sound to disturb him.Turning his head to look at Jiang Chen, the camera did not know when to focus on her and Master Yang, and he pressed the shutter several times.

Really, don't say anything first, so she can adjust her state.

Jiang Chen seemed to see Su Xiaoluo's thoughts, and said, "Natural and true is the best look."

Su Xiaoluo made a face at him, you are right, hum!

Master Yang came back to his senses, "Come with me."

Su Xiaoluo and Jiang Chen glanced at each other, followed behind Master Yang, spared the corridor, turned around a door, and walked into the backyard.

I didn't expect that there was a backyard behind this house, and what Su Xiaoluo didn't expect was that when Master Yang opened the door of one of the wooden houses in the backyard, he saw that it was full of lifelike marionettes. , indescribable.

Master Yang sighed, and said: "These are all works from a few years ago. In the past two years, I have rarely used a knife. I don't know how long I can live with this old bone. When I die, these It’s such a small thing that no one cares about it.”

Su Xiaoluo looked at Master Yang and said seriously: "Master Yang, don't worry, these are your precious treasures, no matter how long it takes, they will never disappear."

"I hope." Master Yang stepped into the door and said to the two people outside: "You can come in and have a look."

"Thank you, Master Yang." Su Xiaoluo thanked, walked in, looked at the neatly arranged puppets in amazement, and couldn't help but praise: "Master Yang, these puppets are really well made."

Master Yang caressed the puppet he carved with one hand and painted on it with a knife, "No matter how good it is, no one is willing to learn it now, even my son who grew up watching me make puppets. , it’s broken here.”

Su Xiaoluo looked at Jiang Chen, she kept comforting Master Yang.However, no amount of consolation can fill the void and powerlessness in Master Yang's heart.

Jiang Chen walked up to Master Yang, "Don't worry, Master Yang, there will definitely be someone who is willing to learn and pass on these skills."

Su Xiaoluo looked at Jiang Chen, others didn't need to believe what he said, but she would definitely believe it.

Master Yang looked at Jiang Chen movedly, but didn't say anything.

After watching all the puppets, people really have to marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of traditional crafts. Each stroke is purely hand-carved, exquisite and lifelike.

"Master Yang, can you tell me about the puppet carving process?" Seeing Master Yang nodding, Su Xiaoluo took out a pen, notepad and recording pen from her backpack, but she heard Master Yang say, "Come in with me." .”

Su Xiaoluo frowned. Could this be the legend that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and a house is deeper than a house?

Master Yang pushed open a wooden door in the house, turned to Jiang Chen and said, "You can take pictures as you like, but you must not damage my little things."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Don't worry."

Su Xiaoluo followed Master Yang into the hut, only to find that this hut turned out to be Master Yang's workshop for carving puppets, and it was filled with various small tools, a little messy.

Master Yang moved an empty bench and put it behind Su Xiaoluo, "Sit down, it's a bit messy, since my wife is gone, I don't have anyone to clean it for me anymore."

Su Xiaoluo felt a little sad, but didn't know what to say.

Master Yang sat down opposite her, took the uncarved puppet aside, and slowly talked about the origin of the puppet...

Chinese puppet art is a unique flower in the Chinese art garden, with a long history, various varieties and exquisite skills.

Puppet modeling is roughly divided into three stages, three carvings and seven paintings, first carving the head shape, then painting the facial makeup, combining carving and painting, paying equal attention to modeling, carving, and painting, which pays great attention to creativity and technique.

The praise feature of puppet show is that objects look like people and are controlled by people with strings, also known as puppet show.

Due to the different regions, the styles and genres of puppets in each place are also different. They may be well-equipped, or have excellent workmanship, or be carefully crafted, or be freehand and freehand, with different charms.

There are several types of puppet shows, namely stick puppets, stick puppets, string puppets, iron stick puppets, and bag puppets.

Master Yang made string puppets, called Jiali opera, also known as Jiali opera, which was called hanging silk puppet and thread opera in ancient times.Every wedding, birthday, baby's first birthday, foundation laying or completion of a new house, etc., there will be a puppet show to show the big gift.

However, with the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, traditional handicrafts will inevitably be defeated by science and technology, and then eliminated.

Because of this, fewer and fewer people are willing to learn old skills.

As Master Yang was talking, he kept moving his hands, carving every moment, and soon, the shape of the puppet's head gradually emerged, followed by the delicate facial features.

"When my wife was still there, I carved puppets, and she sewed hairstyles and clothes. The division of labor and cooperation was a tacit understanding. After my wife left, I had to do everything by myself. Look at those little clothes that my wife made. It's just too bad."

Master Yang pointed to a bamboo basket in the corner, Su Xiaoluo walked over, squatted down and picked up a small dress, looked at it carefully, and said: "No, you did a good job, if Grandma Yang knew that you put her If you have learned all the skills, you will be very happy.”

Master Yang laughed loudly, "If she knows that I can sew clothes, she will definitely laugh at me."

Su Xiaoluo also laughed, if Grandma Yang, whom she had never met before, was still there, Master Yang's life would definitely not be lonely, and perhaps he still had the regret of not being able to find a successor.However, the happiness of two people staying together can more or less be filled.

Master Yang told Su Xiaoluo a lot of history and artistic features related to the puppet show. Su Xiaoluo remembered it carefully, and at the same time did not forget to record Master Yang's words with a tape recorder.

Jiang Chen stood at the door, held up the DSLR, and took a photo with Master Yang who lowered his head and cared seriously.

About an hour later, Master Yang carved in his hands, and the painted puppet had a preliminary appearance. Seeing Su Xiaoluo staring at him in a daze, Master Yang blew his beard and stared and said, "Why are you in a daze, go over there and choose a set for you. The clothes I like, and the hairstyle."

Although Su Xiaoluo didn't understand what Master Yang meant, she still walked over, carefully selected a long hair made of black thread and a light blue ancient shirt dress, and handed them to Master Yang.

Master Yang moved his hands left and right, quickly fixed the hair on the puppet's head, and sewed on the clothes, and a puppet was completed.

Su Xiaoluo exclaimed: "It's amazing."

Jiang Chen was leaning against the door, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, she was such a silly girl, she hadn't figured out who the puppet in Master Yang's hand was carved as a model.
