jade carver

Chapter 17 Hot Milk

When Lao Xia found Cheng Ye, the child was writing a blackboard newspaper outside. The large characters were almost written, and there were still some lace left to draw.Lao Xia stood there without making a sound, and waited for Cheng Ye to finish the painting. Cheng Ye didn't go to his side these days, and he didn't lose his basic skills.

Cheng Ye ran out of chalk in his hand, and when he turned around to get it, he found Lao Xia. He was taken aback for a moment and then laughed, "Uncle Xia! Why are you here?"

Lao Xia pushed his pair of brown sunglasses and coughed, "I'm here to give something to someone, I'm passing by, just come and have a look... Cheng Ye, you're busy with your homework just now?"

Cheng Ye answered honestly, "It's okay, I can keep up."

"Since you're not busy, you have to practice more in all aspects. Look, isn't it written on the blackboard newspaper in your school that all-round development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty is required..." Lao Xia slapped sideways for a long time, but Cheng Ye didn't understand Come here, just ask directly. "Why haven't you come to the seventh game these days?"

Cheng Ye understood, and hurriedly took out his notebook from his schoolbag and handed it over, "By the way, Uncle Xia, I drew these at home, and I just want Brother Rui to help you bring them over..."

The date and title are neatly written on the small book, and there are five pictures for each title. The drawing is the simplest yin and yang fish, and the basic symmetry is practiced.At a quick glance, the five pictures are exactly the same, but if you look closely, you can see that one is more neatly lined than the other.Cheng Ye's talent is good, but he is a little too serious. He hesitates to start with things he has never drawn before. Several lines are stacked together and stacked back and forth. It will be fine when he is proficient.

These things look simple in lines, but they are the most practical.The most important thing about jade carving is stability, accuracy, and ruthlessness. Cheng Ye has a good temper and is patient. It is not difficult to achieve the first two requirements, but the last one is a bit troublesome.

Lao Xia looked at it for a while, and raised some issues that should be paid attention to with Cheng Ye. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied with Cheng Ye's apprentice.Satisfaction is satisfaction, and I still didn't miss a word, "Cheng Ye, next time you have time, it's better to go to the seventh game by yourself. This painting is not bad, but I have to look at it more. Let's arrange the topics for the future, right? I just found a few..."

Cheng Ye was holding a small stone with his feet. It was probably the first time he refused someone, and he couldn't lift his head up. "Uncle Xia, I can't go...my grandma is sick."

Lao Xia stopped talking, looked at Cheng Ye, and asked him, "You have been taking care of your grandma? Where is your uncle?" Lao Xia knew that Cheng Ye lived with his grandma, and he had heard a little about Cheng Ye. .

"Uncle went to work in other places, and my aunt paid for the medical expenses. Grandma has a bad trachea, so I need to take traditional Chinese medicine. I have to go back and cook Chinese medicine for grandma." Cheng Ye looked at Lao Xia's worried face, and said a few words Instead, he comforted Lao Xia in turn. "Uncle Xia, don't worry, the doctor said grandma will be fine!"

Lao Xia touched Cheng Ye's head, feeling a little more distressed for the child, "Cheng Ye, shall I take you home? It's so late, it's not safe for you to go back with a child."

Cheng Ye shook his head, "Thank you Uncle Xia, I don't need to trouble you, I'll go home with Brother Rui. Grandma's Chinese medicine is finished, Brother Rui is going to grab the Chinese medicine for me, and he should be here to pick me up soon."

Lao Xia waited with him for a while, asked about these practice paintings, and learned that Cheng Ye took the time to draw them while boiling Chinese medicine, and he cared about this child even more.

Li Rui came quickly, with several large packages of traditional Chinese medicine wrapped in kraft paper hanging on the handlebar, and he rang the bell when he reached the door. "Cheng Ye! Come here, go home!"

Lao Xia sent Cheng Ye to the school gate, watched Cheng Ye get on Li Rui's bicycle, waved goodbye to him, and didn't turn back to his home until the two of them were far away.He had to think about how to teach Ye. Before, because he saw that Cheng Ye was not smart enough, and his small body was not strong, he did have a bit of secretive thoughts.When Lao Xia taught Ye, he was an ordinary apprentice, just thinking of leaving a job for Cheng Ye in the future.Thinking about it now, I really want to accept Cheng Ye as a closed disciple... It is not impossible to pass the set of precious knives in his hand to Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye didn't know about Lao Xia's worries, he was very satisfied now, especially seeing those exquisite jade wares of Lao Xia's family often, learning to see and how to make them, Cheng Ye felt very fulfilled.Every time he went, he would bring some things to Lao Xia and help with some housework. From the bottom of his heart, he was very grateful to Lao Xia.

Li Rui took Cheng Ye home by bike and helped Cheng Ye take care of Grandma Cheng.Grandma Cheng had severe tracheitis, coughing whenever she spoke, and they could only wave their hands when they saw Cheng Ye.

Li Rui watched Cheng Ye start to cook Chinese medicine, and went out. Before leaving, he told Cheng Ye, "Don't cook tonight, I'll bring you food."

Cheng Ye squatted there and smiled at Li Rui, "Thank you, Brother Rui!" Xu Ying's education was very fruitful, and no matter how hard it was, he never saw the child crying.

After dinner in the evening, Li Rui came to find Cheng Ye with his schoolbag. He was going to spend more time with Cheng Ye and leave here tomorrow morning.

Cheng Ye didn't say anything, but he was very happy to see it. He even drew two more of the topics that Lao Xia arranged.

Cheng Ye boiled traditional Chinese medicine for Grandma Cheng for three months, and by the time the old man recovered, winter had already begun.Cheng Ye had put on thick clothes in advance, a big sweater over a small sweater, and was shivering from the cold just like that.

Every morning, a thick layer of frost formed on the back seat of Li Rui's car, which was as cold as an iron lump.Li Rui didn't feel ashamed, so he put a cushion on it, and still took Cheng Ye back and forth every day.

Cheng Ye's health was poor in winter, and when he was blown by the cold wind, his little face was pale and his mouth was black and blue from the cold.Once when Li Rui came to pick up Cheng Ye, he saw the child posting the blackboard outside again, and his fingers were trembling from the cold. This made Li Rui so angry that he grabbed the chalk and threw it away to Cheng Ye. "Cheng Ye, are you looking for illness? Didn't I tell you to wait in the classroom from now on? What are you doing out there!"

Cheng Ye raised his finger and let out a sigh of relief, then secretly looked at Li Rui to defend himself, "I, I just came out, and the teacher said that I am good at writing, and asked me to serve the class more..."

Li Rui grabbed him and put him on the back seat. When he heard this, he snorted, "Servant! What about the rest of your class? Why do you have to write every time!"

Cheng Ye hugged Li Rui from behind, and leaned over to whisper to him with a small face, "Brother Rui, you forgot? Last time, last time, you picked me up ahead of time, and it was all sent by other people. It's my turn next time, it's not good to sneak away..."

Li Rui was unreasonable, and he didn't feel ashamed at all when he heard this, "Next time I'll come early, let them write it themselves!"

When Cheng Ye returned home, Li Rui covered him with a quilt, "Don't move here, I'll bring you milk."

Cheng Ye was wrapped in the quilt, his hands and feet gradually became less cold, "Brother Rui, I haven't done my homework yet..."

Li Rui went to fetch milk in the outer room, and when he heard him say, he replied all the way, "Don't move! I'll get it for you later, you can write on the bed."

The milk was brought by Aunt Fat, and she has been thinking of leaving a copy for Cheng Ye for many years.In the past, he was poor and took the leftovers from the sale, but now Uncle Li Rui has made a fortune, and the fat aunt's dairy farm has also hired some people, and every time they bring the best milk to Cheng Ye to drink first.

Grandma Cheng's house didn't have a small pot to heat the milk, so it was cooked in advance, and the enamel mug was placed on a small stove to heat it up, so that Cheng Ye could drink it at any time.Li Rui brought the jug of slightly hot milk and fed it to Cheng Ye. He felt relieved when he saw the child's face recovering. "Next time you dare to stay outside longer, I will spank your ass."

Cheng Ye still had milk froth on the corner of his mouth, and when he heard Li Rui say that he forgot to wipe it, he wrinkled his face and protested, "Can you beat him with his pants on?" Li Rui stripped his pants and beat him last time, because I forgot to bring a hat when I went out, and I almost caught a cold, which was very painful.

Li Rui wiped Cheng Ye's mouth clean with his hand, and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "That's not going to work, you won't remember if you don't beat him hard. Next time you dare to get sick, just beat him again."

The closest people Cheng Ye grew up with were Grandma Cheng and Li Rui. He believed what Li Rui said, and never asked a question.Now Li Rui's unreasonable "sick and beating" system has been deeply imprinted in Cheng Ye's head. Cheng Ye accepted Li Rui's statement and subconsciously thought that if he was sick, he would be spanked.He doesn't want to get sick, and it seems that he won't be able to brave the wind to write blackboard newspapers in the future.

Seeing that there was still a little milk in the enamel jar, Li Rui dipped his finger into Cheng Ye's face.The wind in the northern winter is strong, and it hurts his face. Cheng Ye's delicate skin and tender flesh will inevitably suffer.Once Cheng Ye's face was flushed by blowing, Li Rui's mother helped him apply some milk on the reddened area. Li Rui saw it and followed suit. Cheng Ye wiped it on his face.

Li Rui is not used to the fishy smell of milk, but he likes the smell of milk on Cheng Ye's body, especially in winter, it is warm and fragrant when hugged, smelling the smell on the child's face, he can't help but want to take a bite .Li Rui finished wiping the milk, pinched Cheng Ye's little face, and leaned over to kiss him.

Cheng Ye is more sensible now, and he is a little resistant to Li Rui kissing him on the mouth, "Brother Rui, I'm uncomfortable..."

Li Rui hesitated, but still bit his mouth, "Nonsense."

When sleeping with Cheng Ye in his arms at night, Li Rui deliberately slept on one side by himself instead of sticking to him.After a while, Cheng Ye came over by himself, "Brother Rui, Leng..."

Li Rui didn't move, Cheng Ye writhed like a baby bug for a long time, and curled up under Li Rui's blanket, "It's cold..."

Li Rui grabbed Cheng Ye's little paw, which was really cold, and rubbed it to keep him warm, "Is it comfortable?"

Cheng Ye hummed, and his little feet came over, "It's comfortable."

Li Rui tilted his head and kissed him, the child no longer resisted, and let Li Rui hold him obediently.Li Rui rubbed his head and held him in his arms to warm him a little bit, "It's not too bad."
