A Rural Life in the 70s

Before everyone said that Chenghe still didn’t feel like it, and only smiled and ate. When relatives Wang Lijun opened his mouth and sealed a '歪才', when he got ridiculously laughed, he finally got a little bit stunned. He twisted his head and protested toward his old man: "Hey! You don't compare me." Better? It’s still rooted... It’s not good to burn the fire, who is rare!”

At this time, Qin Lan smiled and said: "Chenghe does not disappoint the roots of the tree. There is an artist who specializes in root carving. A handicraft carved out of a tree root can sell hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Cheng He looked at the face of 'You swear me', looked at Qin Hao for a while, then turned to see Wu Ge, saw Wu Ge nodded and confirmed, a thigh jumped up and said: "Hey, sell tree roots So earning money, I will dig it tomorrow... We don’t have much else here. There are some roots in the tree. Under the small high hills of Beitou, they are going down the riverside, and the roots are not scraped. If you have a master, you have to say twenty or thirty trees. I have to plan, but I will make a fortune!"

Qin Ge Wu Ge said that the root carving into the river has never been seen, but he heard the key 'carving' word, looking at his brother's two-handed appearance, he really feels shameful, reaching out and slap on the back of the head of Chenghe, He pressed him directly on the low stool, and waited for him to jump in the river. He asked him to look at him: "Tell you, you are really embarrassed. You didn't hear the nephew saying that it is a root carving, a handicraft? It has a good vision. I have to engrave, sculpted a shape, and look good. You think that you just dig a tree root is so valuable, if it is so easy, those roots can still be there, no one wants, waiting for you to go Dig, you are stupid, thinking that others are as stupid as you are!"

Chenghe was a big call from Chengjiang, and he said that he was pulling his head. It was like a large dog who had been mistakenly educated by his master.

Xiaoqiu looked up and couldn't bear it. He smiled and said: "Three brothers, if you want to sell trees, you can't make money. You can't do it with your slingshots and handcuffs. It shows that you have a lot of days to carve wood. Divide, you can consider learning art, then learning to engrave, waiting for you to learn to engrave, but also afraid that you can’t sell the roots and you can’t make money?”

As Xiaoqiu said, Chenghe looked up and his eyes brightened: "Yes, I don't know how to carve, I can learn.... I will learn this!"

Others probably didn't care about his shocked words, but Xiaoqiu felt a little bit interesting: Chenghe looked at the sly, but it was really a face-to-heart, and he also loved to play with some wood. A few days ago, I also shaved a small Trojan for Xiaodong. It was a beautiful little slingshot for the expensive one. It can't be said that there is no talent. If you can find a teacher to study hard, maybe you can really make a master of engraving? sculptor?

Regardless of what he said, it’s better to let him play and play. In the last life, even the second brother with excellent academic performance, he finally took a high school secondary school, learned a financial professional, and became an accountant. Big brother Chenghai and Sange Chenghe did not learn, and finally farming is also the most traditional peasant, facing the loess back to the sky, in her last memory, the two brothers are only in their forties, they have become gray hair, complex vicissitudes Old farmer!

It takes time and opportunity to find a teacher. Xiaoqiu continued to fight the iron and guide the river into a river: "Three brothers, if you want to learn carving, you have to learn to paint first. You have to think about it, you can paint it, you can paint it like a dragonfly, how can you cut it when carving? The carved things will look good and beautiful... Do you still remember the text of the 'painting eggs' that you have learned? Da Vinci’s big painter started with painting eggs..."

"Well, I will start painting eggs tomorrow!" Chenghe announced that he decided to make a decisive announcement.

Xiaoqiu 嘎巴嘎巴嘴, in the end did not say anything. Although she wants to say not to draw eggs, it is the easiest to start with painting... However, eggs are also the most basic. Since Chenghe is determined to draw eggs... let him paint!

So Xiaoqiu throws another reward measure: "Cheng! Third brother, you draw eggs, paint the image, I will give you the egg cake to eat. You are full!"

Although there are more chickens in the house now, the eggs are no longer so rare. There are also broken every day in the chicken farm. Most of the time, Wang Limin brought the sea to go home. But as Dabo Niang said, when the three brothers are all long-body, the amount of food is scary. Don't say that there are ten eggs a day, that is, twenty or thirty eggs a day, you can eat it. Besides, Dabo Niang saved the habit. The broken eggs that Cheng Haige took home, the damage was not serious, they were all picked out by her, and they were salted into salty eggs. The second brother Chengjiang can bring a few at school. It is also possible to serve as a dish when you come to the house to cook a few. The relatives in the village come and go, and taking a few is also a gift... As a result, the third brother naturally does not have much eggs to eat. The reward that Xiaoqiu gave out was also very heart-warming. The smile on his face was really awkward and a lot brighter.

After the meal is finished, the children and the adults are naturally divided into two groups to talk and joke. Even Xiaodong was huddled in the arms of Xiaoxiu Song Xiuju, staring at Cheng Gui’s brother and his second sister Xiao Xia, looking at the picture book head-to-head.

Wang Limin and Wang Lijun sat together with a couple of people. Song Xiulian soaked up the tea and chatted while drinking tea.

Wang Limin wanted to talk with his older brother about his sister's small size. He didn't expect the big brother Wang Lijun to open his mouth first: "This is also busy with the rushing of the seeds. I am thinking about it. I am not busy with these days, I also buy a brick." , extension of the adobe, wait for the autumn harvest, empty, then give the boss a house ... I do not want to be so good, it does not cover the brick, or the adobe room, give him a tile, if there is more than enough, just Add a layer of brick to the front face."

Next to Wei Hongmei, faintly said: "Give a new house to the boss, it is already the first in the village. As for hanging bricks, it is not so important. The second child will pass the high school in the past year. In junior high school, I have to spend money. Their brothers can’t marry a daughter-in-law to spend the money.”

Wang Lijun looked up at the children separated by a distance and whispered: "What are you doing here?"

I went back to Wang Limin: "You don't have to worry about it. If you are familiar with the people in the county, you can ask me about brick and tile cement."

Wang Limin built his own house, and these roads are all familiar. Naturally, they will not refuse. They promised to come down: "Cheng, these are my bags. Big brother still needs me to do it, even though, say, my brother, don't go out with me."
