jade carver

Chapter 15

Xu Ying went back to the provincial capital.Before leaving, Grandma Cheng brought her some food and stuffed 50 yuan in her pocket. The old man always felt that he owed his daughter.

Miss Xu took it to her face, but when Grandma Cheng turned around, she stuffed it back under the old man's pillow, and even stuffed dozens of dollars more.When Grandma Cheng found out, Xu Ying had already left by car.

After Xu Ying left, Cheng Ye also felt sad for several days.He missed his little aunt so much that he even cried one night.Li Rui happened to be sleeping at Cheng Ye's house that day, and heard crying in the middle of the night, and it took him a long time to coax him to sleep.

But since then, Cheng Ye has gradually stopped crying, and deliberately raised his head and chest when walking, like a little man.It's fine in front of others, but if he walks like this in front of Li Rui, he will definitely be dragged over and given a good rub.Li Rui would never let him go unless he got into a mess and begged for mercy.

Cheng Ye couldn't see his little aunt, so he gradually focused on jade carving.When Li Rui went to the seventh round, Cheng Ye grabbed Li Rui's clothes and looked at him eagerly, calling out to his brother.

How could Li Rui not know his little thoughts, and he smiled and agreed after seeing Cheng Ye's pitiful look enough. "Then take you, look, this is about to cry."

Cheng Ye was severely punished by Li Rui, and he didn't dare to put on an air in front of him at all. Hearing Li Rui's words, he scratched his hair in embarrassment. "I didn't cry, Brother Rui just hit me on the head..."

Li Rui straightened his face, pinched his face and looked at it carefully, his brows were flushed red. "Yes! Next time, tell me 'please' to try? And 'please get out of the way', Cheng Ye, are you looking for a slap?"

Cheng Ye covered his head and said nothing, Xiao Yang was still aggrieved.

Li Rui was not in a hurry, and stood at the door waiting for him. After a while, the child rushed over, opened his mouth and bit his thumb, "Brother Rui is a bully! You clearly said that you would not steal my candy anymore..."

Those small teeth weren't enough to tickle, Li Rui pinched the child's cheek to let him loosen, and stuck out his tongue to let him see, "What's the matter, a piece of broken fruit candy is enough for you to protect?"

Cheng Ye watched Li Rui's mouth open and close, and the candy on the tip of his tongue flickered, "It was given to me by my little aunt. I only have three yuan..."

Li Rui took another look at the child, "Don't mention your little aunt all the time, it's so good, it's worth thinking about so much! Tsk, why have I treated you so well all these years?" Looking at Cheng Ye, he was still not happy , simply took the child to push the cart, "Let's go, little ancestor, let's go to the seventh game."

This is Li Rui's way of apologizing to Cheng Ye, that is, to take him to find Lao Xia in the seventh round, and it's best to play for a day, so that the child will be smiling when he comes back.

Li Rui didn't pay much attention to Cheng Ye's learning skills, so Quan Dang found a place for him to play.Seeing that Cheng Ye liked Lao Xia's jade carvings, he deliberately took his children there to have a look. When he usually delivered things to his uncle's house, he also dropped Cheng Ye at Lao Xia's and picked him up when he came back.

Lao Xia saw that Cheng Ye and the others were no longer wearing sunglasses, and every time Cheng Ye came, he would set out snacks for him to eat.Cheng Ye is not greedy. Compared with these melon and fruit snacks, he prefers all kinds of gadgets in Lao Xia's house.Especially the corners and corners of the room, Cheng Ye felt like a treasure hunter, everything was new and interesting.

At first, Lao Xia took Cheng Yexue to "watch".He didn't have so many stones here, so he had to take a few small handles and asked Cheng Ye to hold them and observe carefully.

Li Rui delivered it early today, and sat with Cheng Ye for a while before leaving. He agreed to let Cheng Ye wait here and pick him up later.Lao Xia went to class behind his back, and after Li Rui left, he picked out a bracelet and put it on.Lao Xia asked Cheng Ye to watch it by himself first, and then he asked aloud, "Did you see it? How is this different from the previous one?"

Cheng Ye carefully held the beaded handle, not daring to use force for fear of being broken.But he is still very fluent when answering questions, "There is a flower ball on it, and it is hollowed out. Uncle Xia, you said that people in the south like to use this method, because there are many bamboo and tooth carvings in the south."

look!That's the honest answer!Lao Xia taught Cheng Ye to be careful, and this child can remember it well, but he can't fail to come up with his own ideas every time!

Lao Xia anxiously pulled the hair on his forehead, and tried to lift Cheng Ye a little bit, but the effect was not satisfactory.This kid is so honest, he will ask you one by one if he doesn't understand, and he will let you go after explaining clearly, and he will shut up and not answer when he encounters something he doesn't understand.

Lao Xia was overwhelmed by him. He had never seen such an obedient apprentice in his whole life.I think when he was an apprentice, he had to talk to the master no matter what.This little apprentice is good, he is easy to knead like dough, teach him to take everything seriously, and he will not refute at all!

Seeing Cheng Ye sitting silently staring at the beads, Lao Xia couldn't help sighing. "Cheng Ye, can you ask a question? Just ask me, okay?"

Cheng Ye blinked, looked outside, then at Lao Xia, and asked him in a low voice, "Can I go out and see that lotus leaf teapot outside?"

Lao Xia rubbed the center of his brows, "That...Cheng Ye, I didn't ask this kind of question. I still mean this beading, let's...forget it, go out and have a look."

Cheng Ye responded and went out.

Lao Xia took the jade bead and played with it in his hand.This is true of the southern school style, but it also incorporates a little bit of the northern school's shadow.Lao Xia looked at it for a long time, sighed, put the thing down, and looked up to find Cheng Ye.

The door of the living room was wide open, and Cheng Ye could be vaguely seen standing in the gazebo outside through the gauze curtain.The child squatted in the gazebo and carefully looked at the lotus leaf teapot on the stone bench, but he just looked at it and did not move the teapot.

Lao Xia laughed, this kid is just too careful, afraid of breaking things wherever he goes.The teapot was something he showed Cheng Ye to see yesterday. It was a small gadget made of brick tourmaline. The picture was a bit pretty, so he figured it out into a small teapot with square lotus leaves close together.Although it is more delicate, it is jade after all, so it is strong.

Lao Xia looked at Cheng Ye carefully, and could even hear the child muttering something, it must be something he was taught yesterday, and he could hear him reciting it in a low voice when he had time!For the first time, Lao Xia felt that he was too impatient. This is a good boy. Although he is too honest, this is also an advantage, isn't it?Nowadays, the children themselves know that they can learn the new by reviewing the past, and he is still dissatisfied with it.

Lao Xia took a sip of tea slowly, and looked at Cheng Ye outside with his eyes bent into a line.That's fine, let Cheng Ye practice more and get more solid.

When Li Rui came to pick up Cheng Ye again, Cheng Ye was practicing drawing, holding a notebook and pencil, and sketching meticulously.Li Rui was not in a hurry to leave, he stood aside and watched. He didn't understand these things, but he could see Cheng Ye's shortcomings to some extent.

"Cheng Ye, you have repeated this line seven or eight times. It's not annoying." Li Rui pointed to Cheng Ye's small drawing book, "The one next to it was drawn by Uncle Xia for you, right? You can learn from it." Tsk, if you make a mistake, tear off a piece of paper and try again, don't draw back and forth!"

Li Rui and Cheng Ye have been together since they were young, and they know the child's temper and character very well. This time, they must have committed the old problem of 'not daring to make mistakes'!Seeing that Cheng Ye didn't dare to draw again after finishing the painting this time, he was a little satisfied, "Yes, this is much better than the one just now... Don't use the eraser to change it! If it's not right, just tear up this one and draw it again. What if you don't have a notebook to use?" of?"

The last time Li Rui made some money from somewhere, and bought 100 notebooks for Cheng Ye in one go, how could there be no notebooks?Cheng Ye hesitated for a moment, but he still lifted a piece of paper and continued to draw. He didn't tell Li Rui that this was the homework assigned to him by Uncle Xia, and he couldn't miss a piece of paper.

It was at noon when the sun was at its hottest, and the cicadas on the jujube tree nearby were screaming endlessly, but it sounded like a lullaby to my ears.Li Rui sat crookedly in the pavilion, narrowed his eyes slowly, and fell asleep with his chin propped up.

Cheng Ye secretly drew a "Picture of Brother Rui's Nap" on the opposite side, tore it out and put it at the end of the book.The two sat facing each other, one was sleeping with his chin resting on his back, and the other was drawing quietly. Cheng Ye's handwriting was immature, and Li Rui in the painting was just young.

This casual little habit in summer followed Cheng Ye all his life.Cheng Ye personally recorded Li Rui in various periods with his pen. No matter what time, Li Rui was always by his side.

The author has something to say:

Portraits after many years:

Li Rui who just took a shower: Cheng Ye, have you finished painting?hurry up!

Cheng Ye: Hey, wait a minute, this is just the beginning...

Li Rui, who had run out of patience: ... No more drawing! !The gift I got back from a business trip was a portrait, you can afford this kind of gift!Come here! !

Cheng Ye: Umm...? ! !Woo...
