The Sabbath

The day when Xiaomei left was the focus of everyone's attention. When they learned that Xiaomei had passed the third-level craftsman qualification certificate, the whole blacksmith shop was shocked!All the craftsmen came to watch Xiaomei, even the craftsmen from the blacksmith shop next door ran over.

The dwarves were even happier when they learned that their portrait was hanging in the qualification examination center.

The boss of the blacksmith shop simply gave all the staff half a day off. They decided: After sending Xiaomei off, they will go to the test center immediately. What are they doing?Of course, to appreciate the way my portrait hangs in the hall of the test center~

What a bunch of weirdos—Xiaomei thought silently.

When he mentioned dwarves before, the first thing that came to his mind was the short stature of the other party, plus the smelly, hard and hot temper. Their bodies were always dirty, dirty and smelly, and their clothes were always of the same style.

What's more, it's their superb skills.

In fact, that's probably what most think of when they think of dwarves.

However, after actually living and working with the dwarves for a period of time, he realized that the dwarves are far from the fixed image and fixed personality he had previously imagined: they are indeed not tall, but they are not big and thick, male dwarves They are very concerned about their own muscle lines, and female dwarves can be described as petite and exquisite. Although they are indeed stronger than ordinary people, this is determined by their universal aesthetics. They like muscles.

And the character... Actually, they are very calm and patient.

That's right, to be an excellent craftsman, how can one's character be described simply as hot?Able to endure harsh working environments, decades of boring work... The stamina of dwarves is extraordinary.

Their clothes are indeed not very clean. They have been working all year round, and their bodies are not clean. In fact, the clothes Ronggui made for him have become very dirty during this period. Although they are washed every day, there are always stains on them that cannot be washed off. After all, they deal with metal, fire, and soil every day... The stains caused by these things are extremely stubborn. As for the smell, they are really not smelly. If the conditions are good, they even change to two sets, and meet together to take a bath after get off work... How can such cleaning frequency be so stinky?

Don't ask how Xiaomei knows, he draws portraits of the dwarves every day, and he is very clear about their figures, clothing and other details!

The dwarves are a united, cautious, striving for excellence, and lively people - this is the explanation about the dwarves that Xiaomei has entered for herself during this period of time.

"Prepare the clothes for the report tomorrow~" the owner of the workshop said to Xiaomei with a smile at last. They still pay attention to the clothes.

With the farewell of all the craftsmen, Xiaomei left the workshop.

And as soon as he walked out of the workshop, he saw Ronggui, sitting on Rhubarb, Ronggui was waiting in the old place.

When Da Huang dutifully drove towards home, Rong Gui mysteriously dragged a large box from the back seat.

"Dangdangdang~dang~guess what this is?" Ronggui pretended to be mysterious.

Xiaomei →_→: I have seen that the front of the box you used is translucent...

Ronggui didn't find anything wrong with the box at all, and Ronggui, who thought that Xiaomei would definitely not be able to guess it, couldn't hold back after all, and after a while he began to take the initiative to shake his burden: "It's a new set of clothes, plus new gloves!"

"Mary and the others gave it together. Since dwarf girls don't make clothes for others easily, they only sent me the materials, and I will do the sewing."

"The design is also from them, and the positions of the stitches are all drawn with a paintbrush, so, although I sewed it...it's better than the previous ones, right?" Rarely hesitated a bit unconfidently, Ronggui then carefully opened the lid of the box, revealing a set of neat new clothes underneath.

Indeed, as Ronggui said, this set of clothes is indeed much better than the ones he made before. No wonder, the material this time is really good. In order not to let Ronggui waste the material, Reya and the others are also very worried. When sewing by hand, they draw all the positions that should be cut on the material, and point out the places that need to be stitched with a pen. As a family of born craftsmen, they probably have never done such... trivial work, It's like making a DIY starter bag for Ronggui!

Not only is there such a fool’s novice bag, there are four masters beside him giving advice, no matter how handicapped Ronggui is, it’s a waste of materials~

↑

Reya & Mary & Lily & Kiki: =-=

Well, in fact, Ronggui wasted a little bit of the material, and he still made mistakes several times while teaching him, and there were several small holes in the corners of the clothes left by tossing and unstitching.

But it's much better than before-the girls quickly regained their spirits.

Xiaomei let him compare the clothes on her body, and after comparing the last dress, a pair of pure white gloves were exposed from the bottom of the box.

Not knowing what was going on, Xiaomei saw that pair of gloves at a glance.

Then Ronggui carefully took out the glove from the bottom of the box, and handed it to Xiaomei:

"Reya said that not everyone can wear white gloves here, only those who have obtained the qualification certificate of second-level craftsman and above can wear them. Remember? The examiner's assistant who issued the certificate to us that day wore white gloves. Oh, at that time, I felt that she looked different from other people, it was strange, so there was such a thing... If Reya didn't say it, I didn't know..."

"Actually, when I saw that person's gloves that day, I thought about making gloves for you, but I accidentally made the right one."

"Xiaomei, congratulations! The clothes were given by Reya and the others, but this pair of gloves was given by me. The sewing is not very good, please bear with me~" The mechanical finger gently touched his face, Ronggui smiled Send the gloves to Xiaomei's direction again.

Taking the gloves silently, Xiaomei sat quietly holding the gloves like this, speechless all the way.

For those who often need to do manual work, a pair of gloves is necessary.

When he saw the glove on the man's hand that day, he reflexively took another look.It's really just a glance.

Unexpectedly, Ronggui saw it.

Not only saw it, but also prepared a pair of similar gloves for him as a gift.

have to say--

In the long years, this glove was really the first "gift he wanted".

The mechanical fingers clenched the glove tightly, and the light shone on Xiaomei's face. I don't know if it was because of the gentle color of the light. At this moment, his expression looked very gentle.

This night, Ronggui left the bodies of the two of them alone, and gave Xiaomei's mechanical body a good scrubbing.

Using precious boar oil mixed with essential oils, Ronggui dipped a new handkerchief in the oil and wiped Xiaomei's body from head to toe until the surface of Xiaomei's worn-out metal body was covered with a layer of softness. Light, if the two of them had noses, they might still be able to smell a dark fragrance, so Ronggui stopped.

"I can't do it, I'm almost out of battery." Throwing the things on the ground, Ronggui hurriedly went to the corner to find a charger.

When he plugged it in and started charging, he found the oily Xiaomei standing on top of his head with a handkerchief in her left hand and a jar in her right.

The handkerchief ← is the handkerchief he just used to wipe Xiaomei's body; the jar ← is the jar where the precious boar oil is stored.

Ronggui tilted his head in confusion.

Xiaomei squatted down and wiped a large lump of lard on his face.

"Hey! Xiaomei, I don't need to take a bath~ I just wipe it with a dry cloth every day~"

"Oh! Even if oil must be applied, don't apply so much!"

"This is boar oil with flower essential oil! It's very expensive! Let's save it for our body~"

Being held down and wiped, Ronggui was not honest, twisted left and right, his heart ached enough.

However, Xiaomei didn't care about him, and just pressed him to continue applying oil. The oil rubbed into the crevices on the surface of the body, bringing out the hidden dirt inside, and at the same time filled the slightly damaged dents on the surface.

"My current monthly salary is 4 points, 1000 points for a can of lard oil, and 2000 points for a bottle of flower essential oil. I can buy a lot." Ronggui couldn't take it anymore, so Xiaomei said a word.

"You don't have to go to work anymore, I'll just go to work alone." He continued.

It’s not wrong that Ronggui’s regular customers are Mary and other four dwarf girls. However, Mary and the others don’t use the car every day. live.

Most of the time, customers get on the bus regardless, and only when they report the location do they find that it is a very far away place. Rhubarb knows the location is okay. Sometimes, they don’t know the location reported by the customer at all. It was easy to reach the location under the guidance of the guests, but Da Huang failed to navigate because the distance was too far, and there was no car around, so they couldn't go home at all.

When she was pulling the bellows in the workshop, Xiaomei received several calls from Ronggui for help.

Ronggui could only say that he was lost, and he didn't know the exact location at all. His brain was really not good enough, and the imaging system was not very good. After dark, his night vision ability was very poor, and he couldn't tell a single landmark. Fortunately, Xiaomei had installed a capture system on Dahuang beforehand.That is Xiaomei. In this case, she can rely on the photos captured by Rhubarb, combined with the energy consumption in Rhubarb's body, to determine their current possible positions, and finally navigate them back manually.

It's good to get lost. When Ronggui was lost, he was robbed.

Thinking that he could finally see a living person to ask for directions, Rong Gui happily drove over to find someone to ask for directions, and then...

was robbed.

That time, Ronggui's head was beaten even more crooked, and Rhubarb was also pried with a stick. It took Xiaomei half a night just to repair Rhubarb.

And Ronggui's face couldn't be straightened until he found a new material to replace it.

After that, Xiaomei won't let him run long distances, but Ronggui can only accept long-distance jobs. Even if Xiaomei doesn't let him, he still sneaks away. After all, the main source of income for the family at that time was the money Dahuang earned from sports cars every day. .

After finding out, Xiaomei didn't say anything, just exchanged part of the points in the pass into money, and every time Ronggui went out, he would put some money on Dahuang.

Or five yuan, or ten yuan, in short, if someone who is robbed is also robbed, he will not beat him to vent his anger.

When she touched Ronggui's big head which was more distorted, Xiaomei's hand paused for a moment, and then she said those words.

Ronggui didn't speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Xiaomei cleaned up the last small gap in his track that he rolled around on the ground and said in a low voice:

"Then... wouldn't that be an idler?"

"You can drive me to and from get off work every day." Although Yi is close, it still takes 15 minutes to drive, which is just a suitable distance for driving.

"But...that's still a free meal..." Ronggui continued to roll.

The two of them stalemate in silence for a while, and finally Xiaomei said: "Then only accept the work of Mary and the others, and don't accept the others."

"Other jobs don't pay as much as you spend," he added.

This time, Ronggui did not object.

Early the next morning, Ronggui woke up on time as usual.

It was rare for Xiaomei to "sleep late" beside her.

Pile up all the new clothes and gloves next to him, Ronggui quickly pushed Xiaomei to wake him up: "Get up! Xiaomei! I'm going to report to the new company!"

In fact, it is a new workshop. The workshop sounds a bit unpretentious. Ronggui changed the term "company" himself. From his countryman's point of view: a company is a general term for a fashionable place to work~

After being shaken by him for a long time, Xiaomei sat up expressionlessly: "The new work place is only 15 minutes away from here, and we can go out an hour later than usual."

"Ah!? I forgot about this..." Rong Gui was stunned.

It’s a good job to apply for the senior craftsman qualification certificate——With a sigh, Ronggui pushed Xiaomei to the ground again, and patted him:

"Xiaomei, you can continue to sleep, I will give our bodies a massage~"

Humming a song, Ronggui happily went to play with the bodies of the two of them.

But Xiaomei didn’t fall asleep after all: Not long after Ronggui pushed him down, the surrounding workshops started to work one after another, jingling, and the random signals received were everywhere in her head, and she couldn’t stand it because she was so noisy. After turning off the phone, Xiaomei simply got up and went to massage her body with Ronggui.

Then, under Ronggui's strong request, Xiaomei let Ronggui help her dress up. Although she was clumsy, Ronggui did have talent in dressing up people. It was just an ordinary dress, so I don't know how he did it. Xiaomei was stunned because of the spirit that he had tormented, even though it was broken, it seemed that there was a kind of settled vicissitudes.

It was the first time to send Xiaomei to work in a new place, and Ronggui also tidied himself up. Finally, the two decent robots went to work together.

"Huh? You don't take the road on the left today?" When they went out, the landlady who was sweeping the floor was stunned for a moment.

"Well, Xiaomei has changed jobs~ From now on we will take the road on the right!" Ronggui said happily.

The road on the left leads to the major blacksmithing workshops. People who want to buy raw materials, ore, generally go in that direction.

The road on the right leads to various custom-made products shops, and it is also the main workplace of craftsmen.

Looking at the buttocks of the two little robots, the dwarf was stunned for a moment, then continued to sweep the floor with a smile.
