Chapter 42 Wood Carving
Lingling boiled hot water and poured a bowl of sugar water for Wenwen, and sat on the soles of Nana's shoes.

The old and the young are very happy to learn together. Wenwen likes to stay with the elderly very much. It may be because of being brought up by her grandma. She will feel peaceful when she is with the elderly.

She listened to the old man's explanation very carefully, followed along, and concentrated on it. Seeing that the old man really liked her, he taught her even more vigorously.

Zhou Hui had finished squatting and ran over to join in the fun.

The old man learned real handicrafts, while Wenwen carves by looking at pictures, without skills and knife skills, but after the old man's guidance, he immediately has a trace of spirituality.

"Well, you have a good talent, and practice knife skills well. These are the basics, and they are always the same. After practicing, you will be familiar with them, and how to use them will be mastered flexibly by yourself."

The old man has learned sculpture all his life, and he relies on it to support his family. Naturally, he has something unique.

"This carving is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say that it is simple. If you want to be brilliant, you must put your heart into it. Just like what is said in the scriptures, the state of the unity of man and sword. My master has such a famous work."

"My brain understands it, but my hands don't."

Wenwen shook her head, she likes carving, she really likes it, like painting and calligraphy, it can make her feel at peace.

"If you don't know it, come to me. Grandpa will teach you. It's rare that someone likes this stuff. No one in our village learns this. It's a pity that I have lost my skill.

You are willing to learn from what your grandfather taught you. You practice wood first. The hardness of wood and jade is different, and there is a big difference. "

"I remember."

There are better stones in her space, all of which are emeralds and jades, which were put away in the warehouse of the jewelry company along the way in the end of the world.

Grandpa Six went to the box in the house to dig through it, and found a lot of good wood.

There are generally three kinds of top-quality wood used for woodcarving, red sandalwood, sea yellow, and ebony.

These three kinds of wood have different hardness, different colors, and corresponding knives and styles. They are very particular and knowledgeable.

Compared with other woods, there are golden nanmu, rosewood, sandalwood, boxwood, etc. All kinds of wood behave differently, the key depends on individual ability.

The old man really likes Wenwen, and he is a little savvy. Although he has no background, he is very savvy, and he took out all the treasures he had kept at the bottom of the box.

"Grandpa Six, are these logs used for carving?"

"Yes, even though they are all scraps, they are all good wood, and they are expensive."

Wenwen raised her head and looked, "Yo, this is ebony, it's such a big piece, and it's a lot of money."

The good wood that the old man has saved all his life is here, wrapped in oiled paper and covered with a layer of soft cloth, so as not to be corroded by insect pillars and moisture.

There are also insect-proof medicinal materials in the box, which is very well protected.

"I've saved all my life for these things, but they're not worth much. I'm getting old and my hands are shaking, so I can't do sculpture anymore. Give it to you if you like it."

"Grandpa, this is too precious."

"What's the price? Half a piece of rotten wood is worthless if you take it out. If the scraps are not made into carvings, no one wants them."

The old man pushed all the boxes to her.

"Grandpa, if you don't give me something, my father and I will take good care of Lingling."

Wenwen said with a smile.

"I know, Grandpa wants to pass these things down."

"My grandfather wants to pass on these crafts, but no one cares about them. I'm glad you are willing to learn from my grandfather. You can keep them."

Lingling doesn't care much about these things, they are leftover materials, the wood looks good, but they can't be made into tools or anything, they can only be used for carving.

"Grandpa, thank you, I will study hard."

Wenwen watched the sixth grandpa happily accept the gift.

"Is that right, Hunchi will help her carry it back in a while."

"Hey, thank you Grandpa."

From this day on, Wenwen often goes to play at Grandpa Six's house, asks him to teach him carving skills, and learns accordingly.

"Lingling, I'm leaving."

"Okay, slow down, thank you for the fish."

When Zhou Hui came, grandma asked Lingling and father to bring two fish for the old man to eat.

"You're welcome, see you at school tomorrow."

"it is good."

Soon it will be June, and the weather is getting hotter, and the lives of Wenwen and Zhou Hui are getting more and more stable.

Going to school every day, practicing martial arts, practicing calligraphy, painting and carving, and learning how to cook medicinal materials and pharmaceuticals with grandma, life is fulfilling and busy. The smiles on the faces of Wenwen and Hunzi are also increasing. Wenwen has obviously become The sun is brightening.

Li Hui felt very grateful when she saw it, and she became more filial and respectful to the old lady, and she also had a real sense of integration into Wangjiacun, making this place her home.

In just one month, Wenwen has learned all the basic knife skills taught to her by the sixth grandfather. They are all basic knife skills.

She hid the wood that Grandpa Six had given her in the space, and she wanted to wait for her craft to be small enough to use it for carving.

The little rabbit is made, using the relief technique, it is very vivid.

Although there are still big flaws, it is many times better than her previous pictures and sculptures, and it really looks like that.

"Grandma, is it pretty?"

Wenwen showed the old lady the little rabbit.

"Look, whoops! It's like that."

This is a little rabbit in a lying position. Wen Wensheng is stable in knife skills, and has learned the skills well, but the usage is very unfamiliar, but there are also good performances.

"That's great, you carved it yourself."

Wang Yi was studying in the yard. When he saw it, he took it over and looked at it carefully, and nodded with a smile. It was much better than before, with a little spirituality. He used to look at picture carving, which was very dull.

"I learned from Grandpa Six."

Wenwen raised her head and looked at her father, cocking her chin proudly.

"That's right, show it to Grandpa Six."

"Ah."

Wenwen happily wanted to show it to Grandpa Six.

"Wait a minute, there is a lot of meat in the house, you take a jar of sour bamboo shoots and a piece of meat for Lingling to eat."

The old lady often gives gifts to the old and the weak in the village, and they have been friends for many years.

"Understood, you carry it, Hunchun."

Wenwen ran away happily holding the little rabbit.

"Why does this kid just order Hunchun?"

"It's okay. It's rare for her to be so happy. Let her go."

"Uncle, I'll go then."

Zhou Hui also ran away with the meat.

Wenwen sent the gift to Grandpa, pointed out the mistake in the knife work, and then came out with the things and ran to Sanni's house.

"Sister Sanni, I gave you a birthday present."

"Yo, Wenwen, what did you give Sanni?"

Aunt also came out to tease her.

"Hello, auntie, look, the little rabbit I carved myself is for Sister Sanni."

"Hey, it's quite decent, Wenwen carved it herself."

My aunt took the rabbit and looked at it carefully, and it really looked like that.

"Auntie, thank you for thinking of Sanni."

"Thank you sister, I like it so much, mother, this is my zodiac sign."

Sanni was very happy holding the wood carving, and the aunt also happily patted the daughter's head.
