Living and working in peace and contentment through the past and the present

It was already five o'clock when the two arrived home. An Zhuo put the purchased goods in the east room, and took out the new clothes bought for Ruan Li and stuffed them into Ruan Li's hands, saying, "Get some water to wash the clothes, I will Let's make dinner, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Ruan Li hugged the clothes with a puzzled expression on her face, "These are new clothes I just bought, why do I need to wash them?"

"I don't know how many people have tried on these clothes, and the process of making the clothes is not clean. You should wash them. They are comfortable to wear after washing."

"Oh." After Ruan Li understood, she put the clothes in the laundry tub and carried them to the sink.

Because of the wontons I ate at noon, I was hungry at the time, and I was hungry after a while. An Zhuo was hungry for a long time, and his chest stuck to his back. He scooped up the rice and carried it to the sink to wash the rice. He was washing the rice while washing the clothes. Ruan Li, "What kind of food do you want to eat?"

Ruan Li wrung out the clothes in her hand, put them in an empty basin beside her, brushed her hair and asked An Zhuo, "Can I order food?"

"It's been a tiring day today, let's reward our stomachs, what do you want to eat, just tell me, I promise to make it for you."

"I want to eat braised pork." Ruan Li said with bright eyes.These days with An Zhuo, the number of meals that eat meat is really few. An Zhuo likes to eat vegetarian food, and he likes to eat meat. Although An Zhuo will also cook some meat dishes to take care of him, but the amount is too small. It was not satisfying at all, only once An Zhuo made him a meal of braised pork, which made him enjoy eating, and An Zhuo's braised pork was really unique.

"Success, I'll make braised pork tonight." An Zhuo washed the rice and put it in the rice cooker.After I finished my work, I went to a butcher in the village to buy a pound of pork.In the past few years, prices have soared, and a catty of pork costs more than ten yuan. With Enzhuo's current income, it is impossible to eat meat every day.

One of the two was busy cooking and the other was busy washing clothes, but they were orderly. An Zhuo made one meat and one vegetable. After the meal was ready, the two sat on the big table in the main room to have dinner. Ruan Li ate contentedly. Even he himself was surprised that he adapted to the modern life so quickly. He thought, so he can live well without the help of others.

Ruan Li's hair is too smooth, and it often slides to his chest along with Ruan Li's movements, sometimes hindering him from eating, An Zhuo took a bite of food and asked Ruan Li, "Why didn't you cut your hair? "

Ruan Li smiled, and put a piece of braised pork in the An Zhuo bowl, "The body and skin are taught by the parents, and the hair can't be cut at will. Don't patronize the vegetables, eat more meat. Look at your skinny body." .”

An Zhuo picked up the braised pork in the bowl and ate it, and said, "There is no such saying now, your long hair will get in the way when you do things, and it's not easy to take care of."

"It's okay, I'm trying to learn how to take care of it. I can comb it by myself these days. I keep it as a souvenir. I have adapted to modern life for so many days. If it weren't for this hair , I even forgot that I came from ancient times.”

An Zhuo didn't say anything else, he kind of understood Ruan Li's mood, thinking about others when he saw things, if he really cut his hair, Ruan Li would probably be confused, biting his chopsticks, An Zhuo thought for a while, and said, "From now on, you Treat my family as your own, and I recognize you as my brother."

Ruan Li put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at An Zhuo moved, he rubbed the top of An Zhuo's soft head, and said with a smile, "Thank you, my lovely brother."

After dinner, Ruan Li washed the pots and bowls and went to the east room to find An Zhuo. An Zhuo was sorting out the goods that had just arrived today. Ruan Li wanted to help, but when she saw the materials for making fans, she thought she should make fans. So he sat in the main room with the materials for making folding fans and prepared to make folding fans.

Folding fans are made of long and thin bamboo slices to make many fan bones, and then the fan bones are stacked, the lower ends of which are fixed with nail hinges, and the rest are unfolded into a semicircle. Poetry paints.The fan aggregates are preferably palm bamboo, Xiangfei bamboo, and ebony. Each fan has as few as 7 sticks, as many as 40 sticks, and generally 14 or 16 sticks. The folding fan with 40 fan bones, the fan bones are slender, and the style is beautiful. It was specially held by women in ancient times. 【1】Ruan Li arranged all the materials and started to make the fan bones. He chose palm bamboo as the fan bones, and first made two fan handles, commonly known as big bones or big sides, which are the two outermost fan bones of the fan. He carves on the handle of the fan with a small carving knife. After carving, he polishes it finely, removes the burrs on it, and then waxes it.Ruan Li wanted to make a fan with sixteen ribs. After the two fan handles were finished, there were still fourteen. The remaining ones were commonly known as small bones or hearts. The four fan bones are ready.

Make a hole at the end of each fan bone, fix it with a nail hinge, and unfold it into a semicircle. Ruan Li unfolds the paper and cuts it into a fan, and pastes the fan dough on the fan bone.After doing all this, An Zhuo had already packed up the goods and came out of the east room.

Yawning, An Zhuo walked up to Ruan Li with tears in his eyes, "I'm making a fan."

"Well, I've already made one, and I can paint after it dries." Ruan Li put the fan on the table and waited for it to dry.

"Oh, I'm so sleepy, go to bed first, and go to bed early when you're done, you've been tired all day." An Zhuo really didn't have the strength to look at the fan Ruan Li made, and shook his head to the west room, not bothered. look at the road.

Seeing that An Zhuo was so sleepy, Ruan Li shook his head in a funny way, followed An Zhuo and helped him into the West Room, afraid that An Zhuo would trip over the threshold if he didn't pay attention, An Zhuo was supported by Ruan Li, so he simply leaned himself against the door. On Ruan Li, close your eyes and sleep, and ask Ruan Li to help him lead the way.

Helping An Zhuo onto the bed and covering him with the quilt, Ruan Li rubbed the top of An Zhuo's head, thinking, "This kid is really exhausted today, how did he come here all these years by himself?"

Turning back to the main room, seeing that the fan was not dry, Ruan Li arranged the pen and ink, and took out a piece of rice paper to draw on it. He didn't know how thick the modern ink is, and how wet the pen is, so he drew a picture After painting, Ruan Li grasped the scale of the brush and ink. At this time, the fan surface was dry, so Ruan Li picked up the fan and painted on one side.

Due to the twists and turns of the fan surface, the difficulty of painting is very high. Few people can draw in one breath. However, Ruan Li, as a master of painting, this difficulty is a piece of cake for him. Xu, deep or shallow, light or heavy, not long after, a shrunken maple forest mountain fell on the fan surface, the strokes were smooth and without pause, the lines were straight and straight without a trace of trembling, the ink was divided into five colors, and the place where the stroke was heavy was heavy, Light where it should be.

After the fan dried again, Ruan Li added color to the painting. He used Danqing, traditional Chinese painting pigments, and carefully painted the maple leaves red. It took more than an hour to paint the whole painting. At this time, a The fan can be said to be truly completed.

Ruan Li looked at the fan in her hand with satisfaction, opened it and closed it again, the red maple on the fan surface was unparalleled, dyed the whole mountain red, and the fan bone was brown. Although the material was ordinary, it was better than making it myself, which was very satisfactory.Playing around, Ruan Li always felt that something was missing, and then noticed that there was no fan pendant. After thinking about it, he thought that An Zhuo had just bought a glass stone woven pendant in the goods today, so he went into the east room and picked out a pendant hanging on the fan. tail.

In this way, a fan was completed completely, Ruan Li was overjoyed.It was more than ten o'clock at this time, Ruan Li looked at Westinghouse, thinking of An Zhuo, his heart felt warm for no reason, thinking that he had been bothering An Zhuo these days, he had never done anything, and looked at what was left With few materials, he decided to make another fan and give it to An Zhuo. Although An Zhuo bought the materials, he made it himself.

It took another two hours for Ruan Li to make a fan, which was the same as the first fan, but the painting was different.

After packing up the things, it was past one o'clock in the night, Ruan Li put two fans on the bedside table, lifted the quilt and put it on the bed, the cool air entered the bed, An Zhuo moved uncomfortably, dragged the quilt to wrap himself Went inside the bed.Looking at it, Ruan Li immediately lay down on the bed and pressed the corners of the quilt to prevent the cold air from entering.

Sleeping until midnight, I don't know who hugged whom, and the two who originally left a little space were close together until dawn
