Cross-country exchange

Xia Yu recently studied the sculptures of the twelve zodiac signs seriously at home. First, he drew sketches of the twelve zodiac signs on the cloth, and then selected a piece of palm-sized essence from the flowering palm wood.He made a gesture of height and width, and only after he selected the best size did he start his first knife.

Among the twelve zodiac signs, the first choice is the pig. The shape of the pig is cute and simple, and it does not take so much trouble to carve.The most important thing is that he wants to carve a greedy and cute little pig, so that people can't put it down just by looking at it.

In the past, when he carved wooden combs, he did what he wanted, and he carved whatever picture he thought of.Now, he carefully considers the twelve zodiac signs, and only starts after careful consideration, which shows how much he attaches importance to them.

Xia Yu's investment lasted for three days, and he really reached the point where he forgot to sleep and eat.

The grandma and daddy of the Xia family who were on the side saw it, but they also knew that they should not disturb, even if disturbing was useless, Xia Yu was completely immersed in the world of sculpture, and the outside sound was unheard, even others and him When speaking, he listened to the previous sentence but did not follow the next sentence.When he asked him again, his eyes returned to the wood carving in his hand.

Xia Bing would occasionally visit him and saw that he had been carving and carving on the palm-sized piece of wood. After three days of carving, the original thick piece of wood had lost more than half of its thickness.He didn't understand this either, but felt that such a serious little brother exuded a particularly calm aura.

Xia Yu really finished the first wave of carving five days later. The general outline of the pig statue was placed on the table, and people could recognize what he was carving at a glance.However, it will take some time to carve carefully, so there is no rush.

Xia Yu played with the round knife in his hand. The blade was sharp and slightly longer than a person's middle finger. The blade had two sides, and the blade was arc-shaped.He used it for a few days and felt very good. It was worth the money, and the iron shop of Brother Ruoshu's house really lived up to its reputation.

Thinking about the other seven carving knives, Xia Yu was about to continue carving with great fighting spirit, when Xia's grandma stopped him.

"You kid, you're almost married, why don't you have any thoughts. You should rest first this afternoon, and hurry up to wash yourself up. Grandma has something to tell you later."

Xia Yu smelled himself, and the smell of sweat all over his body was really stinky. He immediately took clean clothes and went to the remote stream.

Half an hour later, Xia's grandma made a basket of vegetables for Xia Yu, as well as some dry food that was usually stored.Xia Bing even pulled him aside and whispered, "Have you prepared some gadgets for Brother Li?"

Xia Yu was stunned for a while and said, "Brother Li? Brother, do I need to prepare anything for him?"

Xia Bing looked at his younger brother with a look of hatred for iron and steel, thought for a while, and immediately delivered the wooden comb that Xia Yu gave him a few days ago to Xia Yu, "Here, take this to Brother Li, he will definitely like."

Xia Yu refused to take it, "I gave this to my eldest brother, next time I will re-do it and give it to Brother Li."

"It doesn't matter, wait until you make a better one for big brother next time."

Xia Yu couldn't resist Xia's grandma and Xia Bing, so he rushed to Li Zhuang under the sun with a wooden comb, vegetables and some dry food.

"Li Mo, Li Mo."

It took Li Mo a while to realize that someone called him, and he responded immediately.

"What's the matter with you recently, absent-mindedly, I called you so many times and you didn't respond."

"Sorry, I was thinking about it just now. By the way, why are you calling me?"

"Your grandma has dragged someone to pass the word. Someone has come to the house and told you to go home quickly."

Li Mo still thought it was Cao Bingchen, so he put down the work at hand, straightened his clothes and ran home.

"Chen—"

Seeing Li Mo, Xia Yu immediately stood up, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, showing a more friendly smile.

"It's Xiao Mo who is back. Hurry up and entertain Xiao Yu for Grandma, and go cook a few more dishes. Xiao Yu will stay here for dinner before leaving." This is Xia Yu's first visit, and Li's grandma is happy He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, pulling Xia Yu to gossip all the time, and he couldn't finish talking.Xia Yu just sat and was an audience on the side. Thanks to his calm temper, he could sit still, otherwise, like Li Yong, he would have gone out to play without knowing where to play.

Li Mo responded, and went to the field to gather some vegetables. When he saw that it was Xia Yu who came, he felt an indescribable sense of depression in his heart, and he also resented that Xia Yu appeared at an inappropriate time.

After the farewell that day, Cao Bingchen didn't know what kind of plan he had, and ran to Lizhuang every day.And every time the afternoon is approaching the evening, because Li Mo doesn't have to work at night, and there is a long time, he can talk about Li Moxu's childhood.

The strangeness between the two who had not been in touch for many years gradually disappeared. On the contrary, the intimacy between the two was gradually increasing.

By coincidence, Cao Bingchen came to the previously agreed place and waited for a long time but did not wait for Li Mo. He was a little worried whether he had pushed people too hard recently. Li Mo decided not to pay attention to his rhythm.So I secretly ran to stay near Li Mo's house.

After Xia Yu had dinner, the grandma of the Li family went back to the house to rest when it was time to rest, leaving space for him and Li Mo. The two of them faced each other and didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xia Yu sat for a while and was about to leave , the sky outside was gradually getting dark, anyway, he had finished all the things his grandma ordered, and he was thinking about the statue of the pig zodiac at home, thinking that he could take it to Mr. Feng for a look as soon as the sculpture was finished.

When Li Mo sent him to the door of the house, he said: "I'm bothering you today. In fact, you don't need to make a special trip. Be careful when driving at night."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll be a family anyway, and I'll come and see you when I'm free."

Li Mo didn't know what to say, and his heart was very tangled.

Xia Yu walked a few steps before remembering the wooden comb in his arms, folded it back, and handed it to Li Mo, "A little thing for you, I hope you like it."

"No, I can't take it."

Cao Bingchen squatted on the side of Li Mo's house, just in time to see Xia Yu holding Li Mo's hand, and stuffing the comb into his hand, he wished he could rush out and beat Xia Yu up.

After seeing Xia Yu left, he immediately rushed out from the side, dragged Li Mo and walked out.

"Brother Chen." Li Mo was shocked. He was still holding the comb Xia Yu gave him in his hand, and he was struggling in his heart. The person he was thinking about appeared in front of him, and he still angrily dragged him away.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Cao Bingchen dragged him all the way to the thatched hut where they had been squatting before, pressed Li Mo against the wall, and glared at each other, "You like him, don't you?"

Li Mo shook his head and tried desperately to explain, "No, I don't know why he came today. My grandma kept him for dinner, and I can never drive him away."

After hearing this explanation, Cao Bingchen could still accept it a little bit, but he couldn't hide his jealousy towards Xia Yu, and an evil thought kept rising in his heart, "Li Mo, don't marry him, you are mine, you know? "

Li Mo couldn't struggle, and only reminded, "Brother Chen, let me go, it's not good for people to see."

In the past, Cao Bingchen would also do some intimate actions, nothing more than holding hands and trying Li Mo's underground. After a few days, he has roughly let him know that Li Mo still has him in his heart.So he was even more daring, and kissed the lips domineeringly.

Li Mo's eyes widened, and he struggled fiercely, but as the kiss deepened, his whole body became limp, and his hands clasped his shoulders. This trusting movement undoubtedly encouraged Cao Bingchen.

"You are mine, mine, Li Mo, don't push me away." Cao Bingchen seemed to be in a trance, he kept on trapping him in his arms, and pulled off his thin clothes...

"Li Mo, be good, just bear with it."

"..."

The wooden comb carved with ice flowers fell to the ground during the struggle, was stepped on by the two people back and forth, broke into two or three pieces, and was abandoned in the weeds, which seemed to be a special end.
