jade carver

Lao Xia was still wearing the pair of tea-brown sunglasses in the hall. Li Rui's uncle was very polite to him, especially after seeing the golden toad in the corner, he praised him even more.

Cheng Ye also peeked over there curiously.It was a jade toad with only three legs, its whole body glowed with white light, and there were many small golden and shiny copper coins on the soles of its feet.Jade Toad also spit out a golden copper coin from its mouth, which was extraordinarily airy.Cheng Ye waited for the adults to move the jade carving to the table, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a piece of jade. From a distance, it looked like the jade should have grown like this, and the carving was just right.

This ornament has a scientific name, Jinchan Jinbao, which is specially used for businessmen to attract money, and businessmen like it.Cheng Ye only felt that the carving of this object was extremely delicate, and it carried an indescribable nobility. Even if it was placed there, it would unconsciously attract people's attention.

Cheng Ye looked at the ornaments, and Lao Xia also looked at Cheng Ye.He thinks this kid is very interesting, especially Cheng Ye's love for jade, which cannot be hidden from others.

Li Rui's uncle came here a few times and was familiar with Lao Xia. Seeing that Lao Xia was still wearing those sunglasses, he said to him, "You don't have to wear these in the house, how inconvenient. You can also wear them here." No one else, take it off and rest."

Lao Xia shook his head and refused, "The eyes are not very good, I'm afraid it will scare the child." When he was young, he used his eyes too much and hurt them. Now that he is older, not only his eyesight is not very good, but there is also a growth on the left cornea. Something scary like white porcelain.As long as there are people in the house, Lao Xia will wear the tea-brown sunglasses to cover it up.

"Our brat is not afraid!" Li Rui's uncle smiled and motioned for Lao Xia to explain this item.He is a vulgar person, and he ordered this thing for someone else, so Mingtang should know something before he can explain it to others.

Lao Xia thought about it, and took off the sunglasses. He glanced at Cheng Ye, and the child blinked at him.From the looks of it, he put all his energy on the recruited toad, and was not afraid of Lao Xia's left eye.

Lao Xia felt a little comforted in his heart, and when he explained again, he also took care of Cheng Ye a little bit, making it easy to understand.Cheng Ye dared to ask repeated questions, and he was not bothered, and would tell the child again.

Cheng Ye was still young, so he didn't quite understand those professional words, but he vaguely felt that these were very powerful techniques.Among other things, Lao Xia's proud expression can explain it!Cheng Ye's eyes sparkled when he heard it, watching Old Uncle Xia talking, as if hearing a favorite story.

Cheng Ye was a bit unfamiliar with Lao Xia at first, but after hearing a story, he was no longer afraid of him.

Lao Xia also liked Cheng Ye very much. When he saw the child lying on the edge of the table and listening to him carefully, trying to memorize every word he said, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.The idea of ​​accepting apprentices in his heart has been active several times.Maybe it's not bad to have an obedient and sensible little apprentice, at least he has companions at ordinary times, so he's not bored.

Lao Xia thought about it here, but he didn't say a word.Of course, Lao Xia didn't notice the material that Li Rui's brother-in-law brought, it was barely medium, it was a piece of white jade covered with gold and silver, so the skin color still had some merits.Lao Xia came here to retire, and he didn’t want to be too ostentatious. Generally speaking, if you look at jade carvings, if the jade you get is good, you will naturally carve it carefully; Caier.

Li Rui's uncle is a rough man, how could he know these tricks, he was told in a vague way by old Xia Yunli, and Cheng Ye didn't listen much to him!

Lao Xia didn't urge much about this, most of the jade carvings were Wen Tun's good temper.Think about it, a more complex piece of jade can't be ground out in a few months of work.No matter how irritable this temper is, once he enters this business, his temper will be smoothed out.

Li Rui's brother-in-law packed the "Golden Toad into Treasure" in the brocade box he brought, and placed them carefully. This thing is not cheap for them.

Lao Xia watched from the side and frowned, "Why didn't you bring a base? Didn't you say you want to install it together?"

Li Rui's uncle smiled, "I know, I know! Last time you said that the black catalpa is better, so I asked someone to make it! I can only get it tomorrow."

Only then did Lao Xia relax a bit. Last time he said that wood is better because wood is cheaper than gold and stone.It stands to reason that this golden toad should be supported by riches and honor.

When Cheng Ye was about to leave, he was a little bit reluctant, "Goodbye, Uncle Xia, next time...you are welcome to come to our house to play next time..."

Old Xia was happy, this was the first time a child sent an invitation to him, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement with Cheng Ye. "Okay, I'll go when I get a chance. If you're okay, you can also come to play in the seventh game! I know you children like to come here the most. Well, the pear grove in front has suffered a lot, haha! "

Li Rui never let people bully Cheng Ye, but looking at Lao Xia's expression, he was probably teasing the children.I know, I know, but seeing Cheng Ye blushing from being teased, Li Rui still felt a little uncomfortable, muttered a few words that the old man didn't eat less, and hugged Cheng Ye on the back seat of the bicycle.Waiting to leave before saying goodbye to Lao Xia, "Uncle Xia, there is no need to come out to see it off. We will come back in a few days."

Cheng Ye hugged Li Rui's waist on the road, leaned over and asked him, "Brother Rui, are we coming back in a few days?"

If Li Rui hadn't been riding a bicycle, he would have given the child a hard time!This kid has been playing too much recently. First, he ate and slept with Xu Ying, listened to stories, and babbled about his little aunt.

Li Rui was not angry, "It will be a few days!"

Li Rui was soft and not hard, seeing Cheng Ye's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.But listening to what he said, she was so angry that she wanted to knock him.

After listening to Xu Ying's story that day, Cheng Ye came to look for Li Rui with his little pillow in his arms.The child climbed onto Li Rui's bed with bare feet, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and whispered softly, "Brother Rui, it's been a few days, let's go to Uncle Xia's house to play?"

Li Rui flicked his forehead.

The child covered his head and whined, feeling so wronged.

Li Rui turned over to go to sleep. The child hesitated for a long time, but crawled over and called out to Li Rui for his brother.

Li Rui listened for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy anymore. He just turned over and sat up when he saw Cheng Ye leaning over his forehead.It looked like the child was brought to Li Rui's door on his own initiative to play.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Cheng Ye, I won't take you there even if I flick my head."

Cheng Ye let out a cry, and then retracted his little head in disappointment.

Li Rui stopped teasing him, and casually said a condition, "Come on, I'll take you there tomorrow! But, you have to be my pillow tonight."

Cheng Ye looked at Li Rui, not quite understanding what it meant.

Li Rui wasn't polite to him either. He pushed the child down and slept directly on his soft belly. "Okay, go to bed soon. Get up early tomorrow morning, and I'll take you there after dinner..."

Cheng Ye was used as a pillow all night, and when he woke up the next day, Li Rui was still drooling on his belly.He didn't dare to move, and waited for Li Rui to sleep well before getting up, running back and forth closely behind Li Rui, washing his face and brushing his teeth without missing a beat.

Li Rui was so stared at that he almost took a sip of toothbrushing water. He wet a towel and wiped the child's face, "I keep my word, I will never forget you. Cheng Ye, don't keep following me..." If I go to pee, you will too?"

Cheng Ye didn't follow in. He was waiting for Li Rui at the door.Li Rui was convinced, this silent, seemingly temperless person was really persistent once he got serious about something.

Li Rui took Cheng Ye to find Lao Xia.This time, Lao Xia didn't wear sunglasses at his home, and entertained Cheng Ye and Li Rui very comfortably, and didn't take them lightly just because they were children.

Cheng Ye also brought a small gift this time, mung bean cake made by Grandma Cheng and a small seal carved by him.The mung bean cake is very good, soft and delicious, with a delicate fragrance and sweet aftertaste. The small seal is on the side, Lao Xia glanced at it and didn't say much.The seal was carved in the shape of a small animal, and the knife was clumsy, and it looked like it was made by a layman fumbling around, but it was hard for him to carve it like this with a small wooden knife.

"My grandma said that mung beans are a good thing. Eating them can improve eyesight and relieve haze..." Cheng Ye was still a little nervous about submitting his work, but he told Lao Xia everything he thought about it.He pointed to Lao Xia's left eye, and told him very seriously that he must finish eating all by himself. "My grandma used to have this on her eyes, a small white flake, and she always ate this."

Lao Xia took a piece and tasted it, and it was indeed delicious. He wanted to tease Cheng Ye, and followed his words. "Hey, I still have a few old buddies here, and I wanted to share it with everyone! It's for 'cure', so I have to eat it alone..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Ye hurriedly interrupted him, "You can share it! You can share it...Well, if you don't have enough, Uncle Xia, can I bring it to you next time? I still have..." Grandma Cheng made a lot this time, but Cheng Ye didn't bring them all, because she wanted to come again, even if it was under the banner of giving mung bean cakes.

Cheng Ye couldn't hide the matter, and he blushed first after speaking. "I, I didn't mean to only bring this today..."

Li Rui turned his head and smiled sullenly, and Lao Xia also rolled his eyes. They thought the child's nervous appearance was very funny.Old Xia Le had had enough, and hurriedly beckoned Cheng Ye to sit down. At this moment, the child's forehead was sweating, "Cheng Ye, if you want to come later, you can come by yourself! Uncle Xia usually doesn't go out, so when you come I can find it."

This can be regarded as an official invitation from Lao Xia. He really likes Cheng Ye, a child who is honest and responsible, even if he wants to make a little 'bad heart', he is also likable.

The author has something to say:

Cheng Ye admits mistakes:

Cheng Ye: Uncle Xia, I was wrong... I shouldn't have played tricks on you...

Lao Xia: Oh, what are you playing tricks on?

Cheng Ye: I, I didn't bring you all my mung bean cakes... TAT

Lao Xia: Pfft! !Well, next time... I can't make this kind of mistake again next time... Hahahaha!
