jade carver

The jade shop is quite lively at night, the elder brother Xu Junjie is leading the twins to play poker with Lao Xia.Lao Xia put his hands in his sleeves to cover the cards tightly, so that they couldn't see them at all.

The twins looked like they had lost miserably, with a note on the left and a note on the right all over their faces.When they saw Cheng Ye coming in, they threw their cards and threw themselves at Cheng Ye, "Little Brother, you're back! We miss you!"

Xu Junjie was proud of a good deck of cards in his hand. Suddenly, the twins disrupted the game, and hurriedly scolded them, "What are you doing, what are you doing! Don't bring such a rascal, my five 5s are ready to charge..."

Xu Xiaowen looked at the big brother and Cheng Ye in surprise, bit his finger and asked Lao Xia, "Master, I think little brother is more important than playing cards."

Xu Xiaowu didn't speak, just made a face at Big Brother, took Cheng Ye's hand and said hello with a smile.

Lao Xia hummed, and took the opportunity to put down the cards in his hand. His luck is not very good.Seeing that Lao Xia had spoken, Xu Junjie could only clean up the mess on the table aggrievedly. It's a pity that he had a good hand and rarely drew 4 kings.

The twins were very affectionate with Cheng Ye, and when Xu Xiaowen went to pour tea, Xu Xiaowu chattered about the fun things of the day. "Little brother, you don't know, that Populus euphratica came again today, and he brought a lot of bracelets carved with olive cores! Look, the ones that Xiaowen and I have are given by him, and the master and the big brother also have them. Oh, that's right! He also left it for the little brother, waiting for me to get it for you!"

Xu Xiaowu ran upstairs and brought back a delicate wooden box after a while, which smelled faintly of wood.Xu Xiaowen also came back pouring tea. He was quieter than the twin brothers, but he tilted his head and waited for Cheng Ye to open it, with a lot of curiosity on his face. "Little brother, please open it and have a look, Hu Yang has wrapped boxes for everyone, Xiao Wu and I were guessing before, the one he gave to little brother must be better than ours!"

Cheng Ye felt that the leg next to him was scorching hot, the temperature almost burned his palm, and he couldn't hold the small wooden box.Tremblingly, he opened the small wooden box, which also contained a bunch of bracelets carved with olive cores, but it was obviously more moist than the color of the twins.There are towers and pavilions carved on each small olive core, eighteen of which are different.

There is also a note below, the font is handsome, and the words are very warm: Cheng Ye, I wish you a happy birthday.

Li Rui raised his eyebrows. He was next to Cheng Ye, so he naturally saw these deceitful junk.Hu Yang, the name is very familiar to him. When they were still on the farm, this brat wearing glasses often went to Lao Xia's house to deliver jade materials.Li Rui still remembered that when Cheng Ye was a child, he took a broken Jade Buddha from this man.

Li Rui also gave a gift to Cheng Ye's birthday some time ago, but it was not so elegant.Li Rui was not so careful, and all the gifts he gave were practical things. He picked up a bunch of things that Cheng Ye usually liked and couldn't bear to buy, and brought back a bunch of them, and by the way, he helped Cheng Ye perform the "coming of age ceremony" again.Now that he saw such a small wooden box, he felt a little uncomfortable, or he began to feel uncomfortable when he heard the name Populus euphratica.

"What's so special about this thing?" Li Rui hooked the bunch of gadgets, afraid that he might accidentally crush them. The layers of pavilions carved on it are really exquisite.At first glance, it seemed quite suitable for Cheng Ye.

Cheng Ye sat there not daring to make a sound. He felt that he had done nothing wrong, but when he heard Li Rui's slightly raised tone, he habitually wanted to apologize.There must be something that made Brother Rui angry, Cheng Xiaoye was thinking anxiously.

But Lao Xia also sat down, and smiled when he saw the scene, "Hey, Hu Yang is very caring, he remembers what Cheng Ye said once! This is a string of Sunan core carvings, made of high-quality olive cores. It came out, look! Human handwork is exquisite, tsk tsk."

The twins have the same small carvings of the Buddha's head, and they are both Maitreya Buddhas who smile when they open their mouths. When Lao Xia praised them, they also held them up for him to see. "Uncle, look at us!"

Lao Xia liked the twins very much, but he really couldn't find the words to praise what he praised yesterday, so he had to call Xu Junjie, "Junjie! Come on, come on, let's talk about it!"

The master brother had a bad intention, sat there like a half fairy, touched them one by one, hummed, "Yes, the things are very good, don't you know? With this playing card, it's a good hand!"

The twins have too little experience, and their eyes lit up immediately, "Really, let's play again, big brother!"

Xu Junjie grinned, "No, no, playing cards is not as important as your little brother..."

Before he was finished, Lao Xia slapped him on the back of the head, "It's more important than playing cards, the bigger you get, the more unruly you are! Look at you, do you still look like a big brother, who doesn't teach you something good all day long?" !"

Li Rui didn't care about the excitement over there, played with the olive stone bracelet for a while, then put it back in the box and handed it back to Cheng Ye. "The business of Populus euphratica has also reached the provincial capital?"

"En. But he doesn't seem to be in the jade carving business anymore, and instead sells some small things of nuclear carving and microcarving." Cheng Ye didn't know much about it, but he still knew that Li Rui didn't like Hu Yang.When he was still on the farm, Li Rui would frown when he heard this man.

Sure enough, the other side immediately snorted, with a bit of displeasure in his tone, "What are you doing here if you don't do jade carving business, is it interesting?"

Cheng Ye froze to the side and dared not speak.Hu Yang is Uncle Xia's friend, just like those who make jade carvings, although there are many people who make jade, but there are only a few famous ones in the industry, and the Hu family is still very prestigious.The last time Uncle Xia couldn't receive good jade materials, it was thanks to Populus euphratica that he got some to get over the difficulty.

Lao Xia looked at his apprentice without saying a word, and was a little puzzled, "Cheng Ye, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?"

"Hey, a little bit. Brother Rui is going to City D the day after tomorrow, and he may live there permanently. I want to move to Master's place to be with everyone, and I will also have someone to take care of me."

I don't know if it was an illusion, Cheng Ye felt that the breath of the person next to him calmed down a little after he finished speaking, as if he was not as angry as before.

Lao Xia looked at Li Rui. He knew a little about Li Rui's current situation. Although he was not satisfied with Li Rui getting together with those gangsters, he didn't stop him much. "Cheng Ye can live here. Let Xiaowen Xiaowu and the others tidy up the compartment later. You don't need to take too much stuff, it's all here."

The twins pricked up their ears, and they cheered together when they heard the news from the little brother who knew how to cook, "Long live! Braised pork! Big hoof!"

"Urrah! Skewers! Grilled fish!"

Lao Xia's originally serious face couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing, "These two greedy cats!"

Probably because of this string of olive-carved bracelets, Li Rui was a little unhappy on the way back, especially when he saw Cheng Ye put it on his wrist, his face was particularly grim. "Aren't you not used to wearing things on your wrist? You didn't wear the watch I bought for you last time. Why did you wear this?"

"This is a nuclear carving. It needs to be raised by people. If it is not worn for a long time, it will dry out easily..." Cheng Ye looked at Li Rui's face, and silently took off the string and put it back in the small wooden box.He cherishes things, and cherishes these carved beads with aura even more, since he can't carry them... Cheng Ye carefully glanced at Li Rui's wrist, it was empty, with only one tooth mark, but lend him ten courage He didn't dare to put this on Li Rui.

What a waste, Cheng Ye sighed while holding the box.

Li Rui stepped on the brakes, and the people sitting on the bumpy co-pilot almost hit their foreheads against the glass. Before the man could sit still, Li Rui held him down and pressed his lips together, attacking violently.Rather than talking about kissing, it's better to say that he wants to eat Cheng Ye in one bite without anyone seeing him.

"Wait for me to come back, I'll bring you ten or eight..." The last sentence was almost whispered, the words were very soft, but they could be heard even if they were pressed against the ear.

Cheng Ye almost understood why this man was angry, and repeated the last sentence to him with a smile, "Hey, I don't wear what he gave."

The night before Li Rui left, he gnawed Cheng Ye thoroughly like a large animal, stubbornly leaving his own smell and traces.The red marks on his body were much more severe than the one Cheng Ye bit on his wrist, and they would never disappear within seven days.
