Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 864
Chapter 860

Alice asked, "Is there any popcorn and Coke?"

Li Junge quickly waved his hands: "No!"

The sister-in-law watched the uncle chatting with them, then turned to the old man and said, "Mom and Dad seem to be getting better and better."

Aunt Laotang said: "It's very good. It feels much more comfortable than staying in the United States. Yuning, let me tell you that I can know Tai Chi sword now. Come with me to Wangyou Valley tomorrow morning. We are all practicing there now. Daoist Shi He's kung fu is really amazing."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Old aunt, you have never seen Daoist Shi He's powerful kung fu. He is really powerful when he cleans us up!"

After finishing speaking, he said to his sister-in-law: "By the way, sister-in-law, we have produced a song and dance drama called "The Same Root of Mountains and Rivers". When I have time, I will show you the preview video at that time. I hope you can give us some advice on music." , this is the task Xiao Zhun entrusted to me, we are all a family, I don't care if you just got home or not."

The cousin said with a smile: "I like this job very much, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help you when the time comes."

The uncle said: "There is a priority, Pi Wa, you chatter as soon as others sit down, let's get over tomorrow's scene first. Is there any important person coming tomorrow?"

Li Junge said: "Secretary Luo and Secretary Xue are definitely going to come, and then the cultural department and education department in the province don't know if they will come, anyway, let's leave two more tables in the ancestral hall to support them."

At this time, A Yin also arrived, and came to greet everyone.

The sister-in-law held A Yin's hand: "A Yin is really getting more and more beautiful, Erpi is really lucky."

Dad said: "Oh, I'm still worried, saying that I won't be able to relax until after the opening of the cableway in the New Year."

The fourth grandfather said: "Ayin is indeed a good wife of my Li family, Yuxiang Yuhuai, you should learn more from your aunt."

Alice and Shirly agreed with a grin, and in a blink of an eye they took Ali Mu to ask him to draw a sketch for themselves.

During the dinner, family members talked, exchanged experiences over the years, and lamented the changes in their hometown.

The Fourth Grandpa and the elder brother Li Junge took turns to toast San Gaoshu and his oil kitchen team a few cups, which made San Gaoshu dare not to do it again and again.

That night, Uncle Bamboo Carpenter and Uncle Shitou came hand in hand.

The children and the four-person Columbia University team surrounded the oil kitchen team and looked at the big steamer, and several people sat down in the ancestral hall to talk.

Aunt Liangzi took a wooden box and opened it. Inside were a pair of green gangwood paperweights, a pair of old bamboo arm rests, and a carved screen, all made of more than ten layers of lacquer, bright and shiny.

On the case screen is the Lanting Preface in thin gold body.

There is a couplet on the paperweight, "Wen Yi Bei Diu Cheng Tianxiang, Moon Holding Nanshan as a birthday cup".

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "Liangzi said that the armrest is comfortable, so I didn't make fancy words, so I wish you a long and healthy life, brother."

The old man smiled and said, "Good! Good! Thank you, Brother Huang."

Uncle Shitou opened a package, which contained a brush washer, an inkstone, and a pen holder.

The strange thing is that the three things are almost all rough stones, a deep pit was dug out for the brush wash, and a shallow pit was dug out for the inkstone, but the patterns and gullies are completely in the same series, making up a set.

Uncle Shitou smiled and said, "I'm borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. They are all selected from the stockpiles given by Piwa. It doesn't take much work, and the ready-made ones are cheap."

The old man said: "Even if the work didn't cost much, it will be a big deal at this time. Brother Wang has spent a lot of thought. I am really grateful."

Uncle Shitou said: "I know you like simple, elegant and natural things, so I don't put any fancy things on them, as long as you like it, brother."

Everyone chatted for a while, and the old man asked: "How is the business of the two brothers now?"

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter said: "Nowadays, I just want to have fun when I make things. I don't care how much I do. I just do it in detail."

Uncle Shitou said: "The bamboo craftsman can do it. This year, I made a crested ibis color with Liangzi. I heard that Liangzi's cherry blossom lacquer dish dowry series has been selected by masters in Japan, which is really great."

Uncle Bamboo Carpenter curled his lips: "I just insisted on making a commemorative version of Xiaoman. The handle, jade mouth, and rod bag are all pink. I said, isn't this a fishing rod for women? How many girls fish? The husbands of a few girls will buy tens of millions of fishing rods for their wives? In the words of Pi Wa, this is not analyzing the needs of customers!"

Li Junge quickly waved his hand: "I said this, but I didn't say it after the fishing rod! Uncle Bamboo Carpenter, you can't force it!"

After finishing speaking, he continued: "This set of fishing rods has the background that the crested ibis settled in Lijiagou, which is very meaningful. This set of rods has been ordered by the group, and we have also ordered the set of cherry blossom dowry lacquer plates from Aunt Liangzi. Just put it in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum for everyone to enjoy!"

Ryoko let out an "ah" and said, "How about I make another set, that set of lacquerware has already been favored by the royal family, as the dowry for Princess Dianzi's wedding this year."

Li Junge could barely remember what the princess looked like, and said, "That little girl is going to get married? Time flies so fast."

The old man asked Uncle Shitou again: "Brother Wang, where are you?"

Uncle Shitou said: "I don't have much here. Brother Li invited me to be a judge for the Tiangong Award this year, but I don't have time to make bridge boards. Xiaoshishi and Sasha at home made a Linglong knot and sent it to the exhibition, so I decided to give it a try. To avoid suspicion."

The old man asked, "How are their grades?"

Uncle Shitou said: "Only getting the silver medal, Sasha, a national master, is still a step away."

The old man said: "They are still young, don't worry."

Uncle Shitou said: "They are poor in the theme. This exquisite knot is just a thing that shows off its craftsmanship. It combines the ingenuity of the inner carving with the exquisiteness of Su Gong. s things."

"But this year they are going to make a big deal. Sasha said that they got inspiration from Ayin's wedding dress. The dragon and phoenix intertwining texture on the dress is extremely complicated and beautiful. They plan to cooperate this year to make it a big one. , I reckon that if the theme is settled, this master will probably become a master."

Li Junge closed his eyes, and imagined how the two-dimensional dragon and phoenix intertwining pattern on the Chu suit would look like when it became three-dimensional. After thinking for a while, he still felt that he should not waste his time, and couldn't figure it out.

He opened his eyes and said, "Uncle Shitou, tell them to choose top-quality materials, and don't be afraid of waste. Compared with domestic jade carvings, they still start from provincial materials, and dare not be like Taiwan. If you say digging, you can dig it."

"This carving of dragon and phoenix intertwined, I know that half of it is real and half of it is false, so I said in advance, don't feel sorry for a few stones, and I, Lijiagou, will have a national master of arts and crafts, which is better than anything else!"

Uncle Shitou said: "That's not okay. One hundred catties of materials are picked up and forty catties thrown away, and they are all top-level Qingming stones. That's seven to eight million yuan!"

Li Junge winked at Uncle Shitou and said with a wink, "Uncle Shitou, you are such a rich local tyrant, why are you still living like this?"

The fourth grandfather said: "Stove, I agree with Piwa on this matter. Now our Lijiagou has gone through the primitive accumulation period, and your handicrafts are the same. We no longer need to pursue quantity, we need to make more high-quality goods."

Uncle Shitou smiled and said: "That's fine, I'll tell the two little ones when I go back, but if the little Shitou dares to smash it, let's see if I won't rip his skin off! Where did we have such an opportunity in the old days? Dare to ruin it?" For one thing, they will all be punished by the old man!"

Fourth Grandpa laughed loudly: "What was the way of life back then, and what is the way of life now, there is no comparison at all!"

……

At noon the next day, all the villagers arrived uninvited.

The old man and the old auntie chatted with everyone with a smile, and beside them stood the old cousin, the old cousin's wife, and two long-legged girls who pretended to be obedient.

Grandma Wang and Uncle Dongfang Shuhuanbang sat at the same table, kowtow melon seeds and waited for the meal to start. Granny Wang felt a pain in her head when she looked at the two daughters: "This Yuxiang and Yuhuai are too tall, even taller than Ayin. Let’s talk about my husband’s family. Lijiagou doesn’t seem to have such a tall boy to match, why not find a 1.8-meter tall boy?”

Men in Jiachuan are generally not too tall. Li Junge, who is 1.7 meters [-], is already quite tall.

Wang Dongfang said: "What's the matter? Weiwei is not a big girl yet? Didn't you also find Zhaowa?"

Wang Huanbang said: "Grandma Wang, you have changed careers and still miss this old business. Isn't Yuxiang and Yuhuai often abroad? I heard that foreign countries are full of elders. When the time comes, you can just find someone outside?"

Grandma Wang said: "Then what's the matter, the girl's family is searching all over the world, and she doesn't know the root or the bottom, it's not good."

Wang Dongfang said: "Why don't you know the basics? Look at those two idiots! Just rice dumplings and taro, aren't they all taller than Yuxiang and Yuhuai? They are all students of today's birthday star, so they know the basics, right?"

Grandma Wang said: "Oh, how can that be done! Those two have only grown up and have no heart! They are almost thirty, and they hang out with Meixian and the others all day long. They are just two big kids! They don't even have a career. No way..."

Wang Huanbang said: "That's not right. There are still fewer big boys in Lijiagou? Let's just say that the big horse stick over there, I heard that he can't even tie his shoelaces, is it far worse than Zongba taro? But you see What kind of daughter-in-law did they find? My darling is like walking out of a painting."

Grandma Wang said: "Siwa is a special case. I heard that when I was a child, my brain was not good at all. I knew nothing but painting. It's like being born in the provincial capital. If I put it in the village, my parents won't have to worry about it." ..."

Wang Huanbang said: "This won't work, that won't work, so you pick one that works and show me!"

Granny Wang said hesitantly: "Actually... yes... this... is not without... Look at our thick baby..."

The joyful duo: "Tch! Granny Wang sells melons, she sells her own melons!"

……

Several battery cars came over, and a lot of people got off and walked towards this side.

Mr. Si walked in the middle, and the two beside him walked together. Secretary Luo and Deputy Director Zhang of the Provincial Department of Culture walked half their bodies back to accompany him. Xiaozhi, Si Xingzhunqiu, Wang Congjun, Ren Xiaoqian, Zhu Chaoan, Xiaomei, and Tang Jiankai.

This way of walking was a little wrong, Li Junge hurried forward to meet him, and said with a smile: "Si Lao, I have time to come."

Si Lao nodded with a smile: "Come to celebrate Siyuan's birthday today, and visit the old superior by the way."

The fourth grandfather and the old man also greeted him, and the fourth grandfather smiled and said: "The red star is here, who are these two?"

Secretary Xue hurried forward to introduce: "This is Vice Minister Liu of the Ministry of Culture, and this is Vice Minister Ma of the Ministry of Education. Both of them are here to celebrate Mr. Siyuan's birthday."

The old man hurriedly said: "Siyuan is really ashamed, living at home and working, you two come here."
