jade carver

Chapter 10

The small fruit stuffed in Cheng Ye's pocket was nothing but wild pears from the seventh round.They haven't had time to pick it this year, but Cheng Ye has a taste of it first.

Cheng Ye took the things from others and felt very embarrassed. Seeing that Li Rui hadn't come out yet, he went to help the two old men clean up the chessboard.The two old men were very happy. They played chess for the past few years, and this was the first time they used a chess boy.How good is this treatment, as soon as the child next to him shouted 'General', he started to clean up the disabled children, and let them continue to play after they were set up.

When Cheng Ye was helping to set the chessboard, he realized that this chess piece was bigger than normal ones, and the characters engraved on it were protruding. It was heavy and heavy when picked up, much heavier than normal stones.Cheng Ye looked at the polished and round chess pieces, and unconsciously began to handle them with care, for fear of breaking them.

Lao Xia made this set of chess for himself to play in his spare time. The material used is ordinary serpentine jade, which can be said to be the material used for street stalls, and it is not expensive.But those who are knowledgeable will know that this is a good thing at a glance. Apart from other things, just these 32 chess pieces with uniform color quality do not know how much jade was wasted.

Putting on a pair of dark green jade chess in summer, looking at the undulating and unsophisticated carved characters, just like this makes me feel cool for a while.Cheng Ye placed them carefully, and didn't really watch them play chess, but mostly stared at the chess pieces.While waiting to clean up the remnants, I curiously touched it a few more times with my hands, it was cool and slightly slippery.

Lao Xia also weighed Cheng Ye while playing chess, and he was very satisfied with Cheng Ye's attitude of cherishing things.After looking at the child several times, Lao Xia smacked his lips, apparently beginning to hesitate again.

The uncle who sold watermelons was checked to death three times in a row, and he didn't want to bet anymore.Picked out two wild pears from the basket to share with Lao Xia, and complained in his mouth, "If you win again, no one will play with you. I didn't see Lao Jin and the others. Did I just hide when I saw you?" !"

Lao Xia took a bite of the wild pear, didn't continue the topic with him, and turned to chat with Cheng Ye for a few words. "Like this chess piece?"

Cheng Ye stayed aside for a long time and was no longer afraid of Lao Xia. He nodded when he heard him ask, and tried to express his opinion, "Very beautiful, with big words."

The old man who sold watermelons next to him was happy, "Yes, Lao Xia can't see things clearly, so it won't work if you don't make it bigger!"

Cheng Ye thought for a while and told Lao Xia in a low voice, "My grandma said that eating fish is good for your eyes. But you have to be careful when you eat it. If you don't pick the fish bone properly, it will get stuck in your throat..."

Cheng Ye said it very seriously, and it was this seriousness that made the two old men laugh.Lao Xia's expression became much gentler, and he touched Cheng Ye's little head to thank him, "Okay, I see, I'll go back and eat fish and make up for it, hehe."

When Li Rui came out, he happened to see Cheng Ye squatting opposite and talking to the two old men. The kid was a little more courageous and dared to laugh in front of outsiders.Li Rui hung the bagfish on the handlebar, and went to call Cheng Ye, "Cheng Ye, come here! You're home!"

Lao Xia over there was chatting with Cheng Ye, and just heard the child say "heavier than a stone, cold to the touch", before he could say another word, the child ran away.

Lao Xia was a little surprised. When he looked up, he saw Cheng Ye threw himself into the arms of the boy opposite. He just thought it was Cheng Ye's family who came to look for him, so he couldn't call Cheng Ye for a while.

Looking at the brown sunglasses, Li Rui recognized Lao Xia.After his father and uncle got rich, they were inevitably a little superstitious, so they went to buy a large piece of jade and had it processed by Master Xia at the Qifenchang, and placed it at home to attract wealth.When sending the materials to be processed, Li Rui also followed, and was deeply impressed by Lao Xia's pair of brown sunglasses.

Li Rui greeted Lao Xia first, "Uncle Xia."

Lao Xia vaguely remembered something, but couldn't remember the exact name, so he just nodded.

Cheng Ye lay in Li Rui's arms, and asked him in a strange whisper, "Isn't it Grandpa Xia?"

"Who told you? It's called Uncle Xia." Li Rui didn't agree with this title. Old Xia was in his forties, so it was too early to call him Grandpa.And if the child yelled like that, wouldn't he be inferior to him? "People are not that old, so don't call them that in the future."

Cheng Ye looked at Lao Xia, then at Li Rui, accepted Li Rui's re-education resolutely, and bowed obediently to Lao Xia, "Uncle Xia~"

Lao Xia rubbed his chin. He just looked at Cheng Ye's small size, so it's okay for Cheng Ye to call him that.Now that Li Rui is standing here, it's really hard for Cheng Ye to call him that, so he has to accept the title 'Uncle Xia'. "Hey, you can call it whatever you want, let's call it..."

Li Rui knew Lao Xia, so he didn't stop him from bringing wild pears to Cheng Ye. He thanked Lao Xia respectfully, and then rode away with Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye sat in the back, carrying those small pears, some of them were already red and looked delicious.Cheng Ye picked up the most popular one and handed it to Li Rui, "Brother Rui, eat."

Li Rui took a bite meaningfully, "I'm riding a bike, you can eat it yourself first." Cheng Ye of his family has become used to this, and if Li Rui doesn't start and take a bite of something, children won't eat it.

Cheng Ye sat at the back and began to nibble on the small wild pear.He still couldn't figure out why after Li Rui came, he didn't have to call Old Grandpa Xia, he could call Uncle Xia, "Brother Rui, why can you call Uncle?"

Li Rui smiled, and teased him casually, "You're small. You're so big, it's no wonder people think you're a milk baby..."

The wild pear skin was very hard, and it took only a few bites to bite into the core of one of the pears, and Cheng Folic acid's little face was wrinkled. "Brother Rui, I want to grow taller."

Li Rui answered casually at the front, "Okay, Grandma Cheng said to let you sleep at my house today, let's go back, you have a big bowl of rice first, and you'll grow taller the next day."

Cheng Ye stopped gnawing pears, hugged Li Rui's waist and rubbed his mouth against his clothes, a little bit of revenge, "Brother Rui is a liar, I said the same thing last time." Cheng Ye was fooled several times, every time It only hurt my stomach, but I didn't grow taller.

During dinner, Li Rui's house had guests, and Li's mother set aside some dishes for them and brought them to the back room for them to eat inside.Li Rui was eating in the room while listening to the conversation of the adults outside. It seemed that he was talking about buying a house.Li Rui's father drank too much and spoke very loudly. It sounded like he wanted to buy a house.

Li Rui's fucking voice was not loud, but he spoke clearly, and poured a basin of water into it, "If you buy a two-story house here, it's better to go to the city to buy a flat. Small places don't have much room for appreciation... ..."

The guest who came to drink was a big bastard, so it was inevitable that he had some male chauvinism and expressed his disapproval of Li Rui's mother's words. "Brothers and sisters, no, you can't say that! The house is close to home, it's good to live comfortably! And we are cheap, how do you know... you know that the farm can't develop?"

Li Rui didn't say any more, but that silence could express her dissatisfaction.Li Rui took a deep breath, knowing that when the guests left, they would have to quarrel again.His mother said several times that she wanted to move to the city to live, but she was rejected. The reason for the two quarrels is unknown, but they broke up unhappy every time they mentioned it.

Li Rui didn't bother to listen to this anymore, so he buried himself in eating with Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye didn't have a big bowl of rice, so he gave half a bowl to Li Rui in the end.Li Rui didn't dislike what he had eaten, so he poured it into his own bowl and continued to eat.He returned the empty bowl to Cheng Ye, and told the child to eat more vegetables, "Today's fish is fresh, eat more."

Cheng Ye was obedient, took a piece and ate it slowly.He usually remembers clearly what he was told, and he has never been caught by a fishbone when eating fish.

Li Rui ate in a hurry, but was stuck by a fishbone.The rice I ate today didn't feel much after I swallowed it, and I still felt uncomfortable after swallowing a few mouthfuls of vinegar.Li Rui's throat was prickly and itchy, and he ordered Cheng Ye in a hoarse voice, "Go to the back and bring me a steamed bun."

Cheng Ye immediately ran to the back of his house. He was a little anxious to cross the threshold and almost tripped.Waiting for him to bring the steamed buns, Li Rui had already been caught by his father——

Li Rui's father drank too much, but he still loved his son. When he heard Li Rui coughing, he stopped drinking. Let's see his son first!Knowing that Li Rui was stuck by a fishbone, he quickly caught a duck and wanted to pinch Li Rui's chin and feed him the duck saliva.

This is a local folk method. It is said that duck saliva can melt fishbone.Li Rui's father caught the duck with one hand, held Li Rui down with the other, and patiently advised him, "It's okay, son! That's how your father and I cured it back then, one bite will be fine!"

Li Rui fluttered for a long time, but finally he held it down and took a sip. That's disgusting, he threw up when he pushed it away.Not to mention fishbone, I can't wait to spit out the overnight meal. "Dad, feudal superstition kills people..."

Li Rui's father scratched his head while still holding the duck in his hand. The duck kicked its red feet towards the sky and quacked non-stop.

The author has something to say:

Seeing the person who slept with me, I finally felt a little better——

Cheng Ye (sleeping person): Brother Rui?
