Chapter 114 Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's Spring
Chapter 110 Five Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's Spring

Immediately after the person on the head was slapped, the man cursed: "Don't talk to me! I have something to do with you!"

Li Junge was so frightened that he took two steps back, holding on to the door so he didn't fall down: "Mia... ba... ba..."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter rolled his eyes: "What's wrong! Is it a sheep?"

Mom and Dad are cooking chicken fir oil in the kitchen, and when they came out, they were shocked: "Carpenter! How did you become like this?!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter didn't bother to say hello to the second elder, so he dragged Li Junge away and stopped until he reached the edge of the fish pond and said, "Piwa! Let's see how you can make up your mind on this matter!"

Li Junge was still tugging at the back of Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's neck: "This dress is not bad, what brand is it? Hey, no brand! Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, there are people in your room!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter stomped his feet: "That's what we're talking about! Liangzi and girl are back!"

Li Junge could hold an egg in his mouth: "When did you come back?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "I came back the day after I sent Mr. Ikeda away! You have been living in my house for the past few days. If the villagers know about this lonely man and widow, where will Uncle Bamboo Carpenter put his face? !"

Li Junge laughed heartlessly, and said: "With your body, if you walk around the village in your clothes, the villagers will probably know about it. This is not a country handicraft."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter blushed, and said: "That girl said... that girl said she would stay and take care of me. You said that I am an old man, so I don't need her to take care of me! It's hard to say, man A little girl from every family..."

Li Junge quickly stopped, and said: "Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, Liangzi is not a girl, I heard that she is already in her thirties, this Japanese woman is just tender-faced."

Uncle Bamboo Craftsman blushed even more, and said: "Then... that would be even worse, look at my crappy house, the TV is only [-] inches. ah."

Li Junge gave a meaningful "oh", looked at Uncle Bale Carpenter with a strange expression and said, "That means, if you can be worthy, you still have the heart!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter slipped his tongue for a moment, wishing he could get through a crack in the ground, stomped his feet and became angry and said, "You're standing on a dry ridge and watching a joke, aren't you? You didn't make a fuss about this! Find a way to solve it for me!"

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Li Junge quickly pulled him back, and said, "Don't, don't! Let's settle this matter first! Let me ask you first, if you don't consider other factors, do you like Liangzi and girl?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter was shy for a long time, and said: "Liangzi girl, with her temperament, her appearance, and her ability to manage the house, then... what can I say... she looks like someone who came out of a painting. ...Hi! I really don't deserve it!"

Li Junge looked impatient, and said: "Stop teasing me! Two words, I like it! Three words, I don't like it! Choose one!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter was shy for a long time, the lawn in front of his toes was rubbed into mud, and then he said eagerly: "Hi... I like it..."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "I know you like it, isn't it just frustrating to come to my house wearing this dress? Then do you think, this good girl, does she like you?"

Now Uncle Bamboo Carpenter couldn't speak anymore.

Li Junge rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so angry seeing you like this, I'll go ask Liangzi and girl!"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter didn't stop him, and Li Junge ran away in a blink of an eye.

Just listening to the back is still shouting: "Piwa! You ask carefully! Don't scare people..."

When Li Junge came to Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's house, he was amazed to see that the yard was neatly tidied up. While bamboo materials were neatly piled up, a shelf was set up with bamboo poles to dry Uncle Bamboo Bamboo Carpenter's clothes.

There are a lot of nails on the wall under the eaves, and various tools are hung all over the wall, within easy reach.

The cobwebs and dust under the eaves were all gone, a green cloth curtain was hung on the door, and a high stool was placed on each side of the door. On one side was a sand basin with a few heads of orchids, and on the other side was a broken porcelain pot with a few stalks. The cattail grass, interspersed with a few high and low wild flowers, makes the old house look a lot more elegant.

Li Junge was admiring there, when he heard a voice from behind: "Huang Sang is not here now, this guest...ah, Li Sang is you who came."

Li Junge turned his head and saw Yoshiko Ikeda with a handkerchief wrapped around his head, sleeves rolled up, and an apron around his waist, as if he was boiling water just now.

Seeing Li Junge looking at her hands, Ryoko Ikeda hurriedly lowered his head, wiped the black ash on his fingers with his apron, and said shyly, "Li Sang, I'm not used to using the pots and stoves here..."

Li Junge laughed loudly, and said, "Liangzi girl, you've scared Uncle Bamboo Carpenter enough!"

Ikeda Ryoko quickly shook his hand and said, "No, no, Ryoko didn't want to scare Huang Sang, Ryoko just thought Huang Sang's appearance was too cold, I just... I just..."

Li Junge said: "You just pity him, don't you?"

Ryoko Ikeda quickly shook his hand again, tears were about to come out, and said: "No, no, every time I see his focused expression, I will think of my grandpa, they, they are all the same person. Doesn't Ryoko pity him , it's... it's that I feel sorry for... him."

Li Junge sighed, and said, "Liangzi girl, according to the rules in our countryside, two people who are not married cannot live together. Look at Uncle Carpenter's family, all of them are [-] years younger. If you can’t find a wife, there is no one in the village who thinks highly of him. Well, you’ll give him something to think about, or you’d better go back to Japan.”

Ryoko Ikeda's tears finally came down, but her tone was very firm: "I don't! Although he doesn't know how to farm or pick rice, he supports himself with his own hands! He has used it for more than 20 years. Even better than my father! Such a master is still discriminated against by the villagers, which is too unfair to Huang Sang! I want to stay by his side, and I want him to know that at least there is one person in this world who can understand him , Respect him... love him!"

After saying this, I couldn't help being shy, and lowered my head again.

Li Junge applauded and laughed loudly: "Okay! That's great! I'm relieved to have your words. The nonsense I just said about not being able to live together without getting married is false. You can just get along like this. The two countries The living habits may be a little different, sorry for your troubles! Also, my uncle, a bamboo craftsman, has never been in a relationship in his 30s, so he may not know what romance is, so please bear with him."

Ikeda Ryoko was shy again, and said eagerly: "No, he made up that little sheep's head for me that day, and I knew it, he...he understands..."

As soon as Li Junge slapped himself on the forehead, his words became a prophecy, a sheep's head mark, this girl sold herself!
Saying goodbye to Ikeda girl, Li Junge ran back to the house again, the spring of this uncle craftsman has come!
As soon as he entered the door, he didn't even have time to take a sip of water, so he was dragged by the bamboo craftsman and asked, "Pi Wa, what did the girl say?"

Li Junge patted Uncle Bale Carpenter's arm, and said, "I didn't say anything! That girl is really nice! You must hold on to her and never let go. Good guy! This is because I like you to the bottom of my heart, and I'm going to fight for you!"

After finishing speaking, he recounted the conversation between himself and Liangzi girl.

Grandma also said: "I think that girl is a good girl. Take a look at the tailoring and sewing. Although it is not the double-breasted style in the country, she looks like a girl!"

The old man is still the same old way, judging the quality of a girl by female celebrity.

Li Junge said: "This is the most popular Zen-style Chinese style, and it is worn by urbanites to drink tea and meditate."

The old man smiled and nodded straightly: "The bamboo craftsman wears it, and it looks more elegant. I will invite the girl some other day, and grandma will also learn the fancy styles in the city, and then I will make a suit for my grandson."

Li Junge waved his hands again and again, and said, "Don't, don't! I, who go up mountains and down rivers, don't need that body!"

The father said: "I heard that the father of Liangzi girl is also a bamboo strip maker? Then you can be regarded as a well-known family, right? You said how did this girl be raised, she looks like a lady when she moves and stays..."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter raised a black line on his forehead and said, "Guys, stop talking nonsense, I'm going to die here, give me an idea quickly!"

My mother also said: "I don't need any ideas. It's not easy for a girl to fall in love with the bamboo craftsman. Don't slip away. Although she is a foreigner, but I... oh, this Japanese wants a bride price, so why not?" How much is the number?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter's face turned green and then pale, and sighed: "Oh, I'm just worried about this. I usually think about eating enough for one person and not hungry for the whole family. Yuan money, plus that dilapidated house and a piece of bamboo forest, I am really sorry for the good girl! Otherwise, forget it!"

Having said that, but the eyes are full of reluctance.

Li Junge said: "Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, don't be like this, don't you still have a pole to sell at the old man Ikeda, and then make a few more hairs to send, and your family will be counted."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said with a crying face: "Pi Wa, you are in Huqin again, how much can these fishing rods sell for?"

Li Junge said: "Uncle Bamboo Bamboo Carpenter, let's put it this way, how much can you sell for a basket you usually weave?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said, "It depends where you sell it. If you sell it in the countryside, it's only a dozen yuan."

"How much is the capital?"

"Hey, how can there be any cost? Bamboo doesn't cost any money. Add varnish, and at most there will be some electricity bills. It's only a few yuan at most."

"Here! A piece of material can be sold for more than ten yuan after passing through your hands, and it can be doubled! The last time old man Ikeda bought my bamboo, do you know how many pieces it is?"

"It seems to be 1 yuan a piece? I said that even if your wild bamboo is hard enough, it is too expensive!"

"Don't worry about whether it's expensive or not. You see, the material has been turned over ten times by your hands. Now the bamboo material of Wuximan is worth [-] yuan. Add silk, glue, lacquer, and rattan, and then pass through your hands. How much is it?"

Dad slapped Li Junge on the forehead: "Yaoba, don't tease your uncle! Is there such an expensive pole in this world? It's as good as your car in the city! No drafts for bragging!"

Li Junge lamented: "There's really no reasoning here! Forget it, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, you should just take care of Liangzi and girl like this first. There is a Japanese girl who is not familiar with her place, and she gave up a good life for you." Environment, you have to be worthy of others! When it comes time to talk about marriage and you don’t have enough money, I’ll give it to you first, don’t you feel relieved?”
