Carve a flower on the carpenter's heart

Chapter 3

Grandpa Luo Xiao was a carpenter before his death. He loved to sit in a pile of wood and carve toys for the children living around him. All his life, he carved things only according to his mood. He didn't accept apprentices or make a lot of money.

However, such a free and easy grandfather passed away three years ago. It took a week for Ms. Xiao to come to inform her, which must be considered careless.

Grandpa Sun is a good friend of Grandpa. If Grandpa only loves woodcarving, then he is a complete wood idiot. In this era, he is also a master.

He did come to this place because of his grandfather, but also because of his own reasons. He wanted to learn a craft, because his grandfather always said: craftsmen can't die of starvation in famine years.

On the day I went to find Grandpa Sun, the address he entered in the navigation was still a few years ago. Fortunately, the old man didn't move, otherwise it would be a bit difficult.

Old man Sun’s name is Sun Weichang. He has no wife for more than 60 years, and spends all day alone in the studio. It seems that he has made up his mind to live with these woods for the rest of his life.

"Why are you renting a house? There are quite a lot of vacant houses here, so you can just move here." Sun Weichang said while looking at Luo Xiao's manuscript.

"No, I have to walk back and forth to exercise. If I sit all day, I will probably fall ill before I live to be thirty." Luo Xiao smiled.

"Hey! Curse me!"

"No, you're an old fairy, I'm still too young."

"This lip service seems to have been learned from Xiao Changshou."

Xiao Changshou is his grandfather, but unfortunately the name is just a hope.

He liked this old man Sun and his character.

"Can you recognize all the tools?" Sun Weichang asked.

"It's okay, I was forced out by your brother Changshou." Luo Xiao said.

"Then you take these manuscripts for coloring." Sun Weichang handed him back the drawing paper, patted his pants and stood up, "I'm going to have an art exchange for a few days, so you can watch the yard for me here, wait for me Come back and check your drawing."

"Let's communicate, I'll come back and get a charger."

What Old Man Sun cared about was not the yard, but the wood in his yard, and the unfinished screen in the studio. It was a high-quality mahogany, and he felt so sorry for losing it.

It is said that it is an art exchange, but it is actually going to the Academy of Fine Arts to participate in a lecture.

Wood carving is a folk craft as well as a traditional craft, but with the development of the machine manufacturing industry, the market for handmade manufacturing has been squeezed, and fewer and fewer young people are interested in this craft.

In this current situation, several old artists who have made good friends with old man Sun have received invitations from government departments and education departments. I hope they can hold such forums several times to let more young people know about this traditional craft. , and then spread it out and carry it forward.

But the wish is like this, but it is still difficult to actually implement it. After all, young people nowadays are too impetuous, and very few can seriously persist in learning.

After Luo Xiao finished the last picture of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, he sat in front of the fan and brushed the official blog of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Today, it has been two weeks since old man Sun went out. Several old men went to four or five art institutes, but they don't know how the results are. They should be on their way back now.

Luo Xiao turned off the fan and sat on the threshold. The alley was quite windy at this time, but it was very comfortable.

Old man Sun arrived around eight o'clock, Luo Xiao helped him pack up his things, served the meal and left.

"I'll come back tomorrow."

"Okay, come and bring me a bottle of white wine."

Is it true that people like to drink some white wine when they are old, and grandpa does the same. They call this kind of drinking a glass of health wine.

On the way back, Luo Xiao ran back and forth along College Street twice, just to exercise.

When he got home at exactly 09:30, he was a little hungry and didn't want to cook, so he ordered two takeaways downstairs, and cleaned up the house while waiting.

His room is not messy, even cleaner than the houses of many single young men. He has to tidy up because the tenants of the room on the right have moved in. They are a young couple, and the things they brought are piled up in the living room. all over the place.

He felt uncomfortable when he saw the mess, and wanted to move his hands when he felt uncomfortable. He couldn't move other people's things, so he had to tidy up the things in his own room.

This side has just been finished, and the takeaway has also been delivered. He entered the room and closed the door. While eating with the takeaway box, he walked around the room to look at the small space he had packed up.

These days, he took the time to go to the home furnishing store to buy some necessities and move them in. Now it seems like a simple arrangement.

Luo Xiao smiled in satisfaction, and then his thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

He walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was the girl whom he had just met in the living room.

"Well, we just moved in this semester. I'm He Jing. You saw my boyfriend Chen Maohui just now."

She was probably a little shy, and blushed after saying a few words.

"This is a specialty of our hometown, and it's for you." He Jing stretched out her hand and handed him a bag.

"Oh, thank you, my name is Luo Xiao."

After receiving the special products from He Jing, before Luo Xiao could decide what to give back, the little girl had already jumped and ran away, and went out with her boyfriend not long after.

Send it another day.

Luo Xiao put the special products in the cabinet, turned around and packed up the finished lunch box, took a shower, lay down on the bed and fell asleep not long after.

Sleeping until midnight, I still vaguely heard the sound of opening and closing the door on the opposite side.

Is there a tenant who shares the bathroom with himself?

Hope it's not a woman.

Don't be a couple either.

In line with Luo Xiao's wishes, Yu Hang, who was neither a woman nor a date, closed the door lightly, exhaled, he thought he was the first one to come, but looking at the shoes at the door, it is estimated that there have been more than two visits. personal.

It was past three o'clock in the morning, and he had just eaten some grilled skewers downstairs, and went to the 24-hour pharmacy to buy light salt water and alcohol to heal the wound on his face.

It is inevitable for a person to apply medicine to the wound, so he grinned throughout the process.

After applying the medicine, I also broke out in a sweat.

Yu Hang stood under the air conditioner, first sent a message to Yu Lu, and then hesitated while cooling himself down, whether to take a shower or not, the toilet is right outside the door, but he is not sure if there is anyone living on the opposite side, in case he disturbs others what to do.

After struggling again and again, he still planned to wash it at dawn, anyway, there was nothing on the sheets, and there was no drowsiness, so let's play for three hours.

Yu Hang sat on the swivel chair and hugged the computer monitor and kissed it, luckily he got it out, otherwise Yu Zhilong's smashing method would have made him feel so bad.

Of all his things now, this computer is the most expensive. It looks good and has a high configuration. It's a pity not to use it to play games.

There is no one to be found at this point, but he likes to solo and be quiet.

Although Yu Xin's account is good, it is always easier to use his own account.

I didn’t count how many games I played in total, but when the phone’s alarm clock rang, I just finished playing this game, No.2, which is pretty good.

Now at 06:30, taking a shower at this time should not disturb others.

He stood up and stretched, walked to the open box, took out a change of clothes and left the room, but just as he put his hands on the toilet doorknob, the opposite door opened.

Luo Xiao slept very soundly last night, so familiar that he didn't hear the alarm at six o'clock this morning. Now he opened the door and was about to go to the toilet to wash up when he saw a strange face also standing in front of the door.

......

Yu Hang was stunned, he didn't know whether he was frightened or surprised by the other person's appearance.

With this look, he can play it for a year, and it is completely according to the style he likes!

"Uh." Luo Xiao cleared his throat, raised the corner of his mouth to greet him, "Hi, my name is Luo Xiao, and I've been here for half a month."

But just woke up facial muscles have not woken up, the smile is also a little stiff.

bass!

"Hi, I'm Yu Hang, I'm not redundant, I'm Hang Hang from Aerospace, just arrived in the early morning."

"...Luo Xiao, Luo from Luoyang, Xiao from the portrait." Probably influenced by him, Luo Xiao reintroduced himself.

"Okay, I'll write it down!" Yu Hang said.

Luo Xiao nodded, pointed to the bathroom and asked, "Do you want to use it?"

"Ah? Oh, are you in a hurry?" Yu Hang withdrew his hand, "If you're in a hurry, you go first, I'll wait."

Luo Xiao scratched his head. Although the question didn't seem to be the case, he was still in a hurry to go to the old alley to cook for Old Man Sun, so he didn't say much.

"Okay, thanks."

Yu Hang leaned against the door frame and whistled, but stopped halfway through.

There is more than one pair of shoes, is there a target?

Although it was the first time in a long time that he met someone with the same eyes, he would never touch it if he had the owner.

Yu Hang glanced at the toilet door, then at Luo Xiao who opened the unclosed door, quietly moved his head and probed in. The scanning speed was very fast, and he jumped back to his room within five seconds.

It's too tidy to see.

Yu Hang closed the door, sat on the mattress and opened Weibo, trying to pass some funny pictures to pass the time, but just scrolled down and saw the Weibo posted by his current live broadcast company.

The Weibo content mentioned the signing of this batch of new anchors. He has already signed the electronic contract, and he will go to Shanghai to sign the paper contract face to face. The time is from August 31st to [-]st, and there is still half a month left.

In fact, he had thought about signing the contract carefully. He moved out of the house, and in a short time, maybe before his parents calmed down, he probably wouldn't go back.

During this period, tuition, rent, food and drink are all required, and I can no longer worry about them. It may not be enough time to go out to work. After all, I earn less by doing some translation during the period.

The third platform does not have a fixed salary, it is only a gift. Although it also takes a commission, it is much better than other platforms, and the management is also strict. It only requires a total of 90 hours per month. On average, three hours a day, Still very democratic.

But if you decide to do a live broadcast, you also need to know whether the room is soundproof and whether it will disturb other people.

I don't want to know, but when I think about it, I feel that this question is quite important.

Yu Hang switched to the WeChat page and sent a message to the landlord: Sister Zou, is the door soundproof?

Zou Ting didn't know why she got up so early, and the news came back in seconds: Soundproof, the handsome guy is bringing the girl back!

Yu Hang replied with a helpless emoji, dumbfounded: I do the live broadcast for fear of disturbing other people.

-Oh, the door panels are thickened, don't worry.

-Okay, thank you.

Throwing away the phone, Yu Hang bent down, put his elbows on his knees, and listened carefully to the movement outside the door with breathless concentration. It took a minute before he really believed in the sound insulation of the door.

When I was in high school, I swore to my parents that I wasn't in a relationship, but they didn't believe it. If I didn't believe it, then I should find a chance to make it real, otherwise I'd be "imprisoned" for more than a year.

Yu Hang got up, and the moment he pressed the doorknob with his hand, he suddenly became jittery.

Fuck!Just said hello with such a disfigured face?He also played handsome by the door!

No wonder the smile on his face was stiff, whoever opened the door early in the morning and saw the scene of a car accident would be so frightened that he lost his voice, okay?Thanks to Luo Xiao for not screaming out, for leaving him with the only remaining face.

Yu Hang regretted so much that his heart ached. He didn't have the courage to ask for the contact information anyway.

Looking for a landlord?

Yes, yes, but for what reason?

Yu Hang hugged his face and kicked the air in the room for a long time before he finally calmed down and opened WeChat.

- Sister Zou, can you push Luo Xiao's WeChat to me?

Yu Hang waited tremblingly for a long time, but Zou Ting, who was still replying in seconds, didn't reply for 3 minutes this time!

- Miss Zou?Beauty?Young lady?

"..."

Yu Hang threw the phone and found the hat and mask in the innermost part of the box. These two things are a sense of security.

But Yu Ai, who was full of sense of security, was playing tricks, and the new anchor, Hang, bravely opened the door.

What about people?

No one knocked on the door, no one in the toilet, and a pair of white sneakers was missing in the entrance.

go out?

"No!"
