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

After An Zhuo woke up, Ruan Li was still sleeping. An Zhuo stepped over Ruan Li and got out of bed lightly to avoid waking Ruan Li. He guessed that Ruan Li was busy late last night.After taking the clothes and putting them on, An Zhuo saw two fans on the cabinet. He knew that Ruan Li made them, so he picked them up to have a look.

Looking up, down, left, and right, he felt that it was no different from the ones sold in the store. The fan bones were polished very smooth, and the carvings were also beautiful. When he opened the fan, An Zhuo felt that the store was much worse than this one.The fans sold in the store will never have such beautiful paintings. An Zhuo touched the paintings on the fans in surprise. Although he has never studied Chinese painting, he has learned sketch colors and read some picture books. The rules for reading paintings are basically It seems that with just one glance, he can tell that the paintings on the fan are definitely not something ordinary people can draw.

Turning his head to look at the sleeping Ruan Li, An Zhuo closed the fan and put it on the table, then picked up another fan and unfolded it, thinking, is he really a saint of painting?But, why is it not mentioned in the history books?But the fan is really well done.

An Zhuo put down his fan and didn't think about it anymore, as long as this person is not a monster or ghost.After getting dressed, he went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and when he was halfway through, Ruan Li came to him with a yawn.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" An Zhuo asked Ruan Li, who was still awake, while cutting the leeks.

"Without you by my side, I just woke up." Ruan Li yawned again, with tears in his eyes, and said unconsciously.

"Could it be that you won't go to bed without me?" An Zhuo felt funny, but thinking about it, it seemed that every time he got up, Ruan Li would follow suit, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

"It's past twelve o'clock, I can't remember." Ruan Li called a basin of water to wash his face, and then he woke up. Seeing that An Zhuo was chopping leeks, he asked, "Do you want to make scrambled eggs with leeks?"

"do not like?"

"The dishes you cook are all delicious."

An Zhuo smiled and said, "The fan is very beautiful, especially the paintings on the fan. I haven't seen anything better than yours."

"As long as you like it, there is one made for you."

After the leeks were cut, An Zhuo took out two eggs and beat them in a bowl, put chopped green onions and stirred them with chopsticks, the chopsticks knocked on the bowl, making a crisp crashing sound, Ruan Li watched An Zhuo skillfully beat the eggs, The eyeballs don't move.An Zhuo looked at Ruan Li who was staring at him in a daze on the bench and asked, "Do you want to make money?"

"Earn money?" Ruan Li immediately regained her spirits when she heard this, "Of course I want to."

An Zhuo turned on the gas stove and poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, "Then I thought of a way to make money for you, will you listen?"

"As long as you can make money."

An Zhuo smiled with satisfaction, and poured the beaten eggs into the oil pan, "You make fans and sell them at my stall, can you do it?"

"Do it, of course, it's not a labor-intensive thing." As long as he can earn money, Ruan Li will agree to anything. These days, he is getting more and more guilty. He has long wanted to earn money to help reduce the burden on the family. This time If there is an opportunity, how could he miss it.

"Well, go to the county with me tomorrow to buy more materials. In the past two days, you should finish the materials at home and sell them at the stall to see how the effect is." During the talk, An Zhuo had already put the leeks Stir fry well.Yesterday he deliberately bought more materials and prepared to do so. He thought, if the way of making fans works, he should make money. After all, the price of materials is not high, and the things he makes are sold The price can be higher.

After eating and tidying up, An Zhuo and Ruan Li went to set up a stall at the gate of the mountain. Ruan Li brought the work of making fans to the stall to do, while An Zhuo watched from the side, watching Ruan Li flexibly split bamboo, polished, Carving, I felt that Ruan Li's hands were really nimble, and thought, no wonder it was for painting.

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Stay at the stall, there aren't many things anyway, I'll come here alone."

"No one is shopping now, you ask me to help, and I will help you when you live a lot in the future." An Zhuo sat next to Ruan Li and said.

"That's okay, you help me punch all these fan bones in the air, and drill in the middle, so that the holes are at the same height." Ruan Li didn't insist, and handed the polished fan bones to An Zhuo, An Zhuo took it and carefully Measure the size and punch holes with a special small hole punch.

The two cooperated, and the fan was ready in a while, and Ruan Li waited for the fan to dry before painting.At this time, a group of people came down from the mountain, and after a while, five or six little girls came to the stall.An Zhuo immediately stood up and greeted him, introducing the products on the stall.

The little girls picked and picked, and a few of them played with the ornaments and maple leaf specimens, all of them couldn't put it down, and they were discussing what to buy as souvenirs.

At this time, Ruan Li saw that the fan had dried, so she sat behind the stall and poured ink and began to paint on the fan. Seeing the novelty, the little girls all walked around the back of the stall to watch Ruan Li paint, and Ruan Li was not disturbed by them. A painting in one go.The little girls were all in admiration, and seeing Ruan Li's extraordinary beauty, they scrambled to ask questions, Ruan Li answered them one by one with a smile.When the ink was dry, Ruan Li picked up the brush to color.The little girls looked at it and exclaimed again.After Ruan Li finished drawing, one of the little girls asked, "Is this a fan you made yourself?"

"Yes." Ruan Li spread out the fan to let it dry.

"Is this fan for sale?"

Upon hearing this, An Zhuo came to Ruan Li and said with a smile, "It's for sale, do you want to buy it?"

An Zhuo was delicate and beautiful, this smile gave everyone the feeling of peach blossoms reflecting each other's face, it was so beautiful that it was indescribable, not only the little girls blushed, but Ruan Li was stunned.

"Buy, buy, how much is this fan?"

An Zhuo took the dry fan, with a bright smile on his face, "30 yuan a piece."

"Ah? So expensive?" The little girl thought the price was a bit high.

An Zhuo was not annoyed, he closed and opened the fan, and said, "As you can see, our fans are made by ourselves, the materials are all good, and my brother's painters are also top-notch. The fan is also very delicate and beautiful, plus the manual cost, so the price is more expensive than the ones in general stores. I don’t think I’m going to be fake, think about it, which handmade things are not expensive and expensive?”

The other little girls echoed, chattering about how much and how much the handmade things they bought.The little girl who wanted to buy it thought about it, and felt that the price was acceptable if it was made by hand, after all, she had seen someone make a fan with her own eyes.

"That's fine, I'll buy it." The little girl took the fan and paid the money readily. An Zhuo smiled and took the money, put it away, and sent the little girl away.

An Zhuo waited for the group of people to leave, then handed over the money to Ruan Li, "Here, take care of this money, this is the first money you earned."

Ruan Li pushed An Zhuo's hand back without taking the money, "I live in your house now, and I will live in it forever, how can I ask for this money."

"One yard is worth one yard. I let you live in my house. Don't shirk it. Keep it. Who would dislike money?" An Zhuo stuffed the money into Ruan Li's hand.

Ruan Li insisted not to, and pushed the money back, the two of them pushed back and forth like this, one was not careful, Ruan Li was unsteady, and fell to An Zhuo's side, An Zhuo stretched out his hand to support, but Ruan Li still Because of inertia, both of them fell to the ground, Ruan Li fell on An Zhuo, and by chance, Ruan Li's lips touched An Zhuo's cheek.

There was a moment of silence, and both of them stopped moving.After a while, Ruan Li realized that she immediately jumped up and pulled Enjol up, "Are you alright?"

An Zhuo rubbed his waist that was padded by stones, and smiled a little awkwardly, "It's okay."

"That's good, that's good." Ruan Li was also a little embarrassed, he didn't know where to put his hands, seeing that An Zhuo was still rubbing his waist, he pressed An Zhuo on the stool, "You sit and rest, this money You keep it." Then, he put the money into An Zhuo's hand again.

An Zhuo held onto the money tightly and didn't try to shirk it. He sat on the bench and watched Ruan Li swiftly fanning.But this time, Ruan Li's movements were quick and quick, and she always made mistakes.An Zhuo coughed in embarrassment, his face was a little red, he broke the embarrassment and said, "Do you think the price of the fan is okay?"

"good."

"Oh, all right."

It seems that the embarrassment has not been broken.An Zhuo was a little speechless. In fact, both of them are big men. It's okay for him to be touched by a man's lips on his cheek. Why does he feel embarrassed?Is it because the other party is so handsome?Taking a sneak peek at Ruan Li, An Zhuo's heart trembled, he was indeed too handsome, even as the same man, he felt that Ruan Li was too handsome.

"That... Ruan Li, why don't you take a break and do it again."

"Okay." Ruan Li put down the work in his hand. He glanced at An Zhuo, a little embarrassed, and secretly touched his lips. He still feels the tender skin touched by his lips...to dispel the thoughts in his mind Thinking, Ruan Li blushed slightly, and said something to An Zhuo, "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry, they're all big men, it's nothing." An Zhuo pretended not to care, patted Ruan Li's shoulder and said with a smile.

Ruan Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what An Zhuo said. He was afraid that An Zhuo would be uncomfortable, but he thought about it again. Indeed, both of them are men, so there is no need to be awkward like a girl.

"Then I'll finish the rest of the materials, and I can probably make two more fans."
