Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 44 Childhood Memories
"In that case, don't I want to call you senior sister?" Liu Xing asked jokingly, not knowing the meaning of Zhu Xiuqing's words.

"Don't say that, your craftsmanship is much better than mine and my grandfather's. I don't want to climb high, what you said just now was just a joke!" Zhu Xiuqing looked serious: "Take the sample of the dustpan you wove as an example. Without decades of hard work, it would be impossible to achieve that kind of craftsmanship."

"You're too much!" Liu Xing laughed. He only found out after chatting with Zhu Xiuqing that Zhu Xiuqing, the elder sister from her natal family, is a real expert in bamboo craftsman. If we continue talking, I'm afraid that he himself was born again and traveled through time. identities will be revealed.

After wiping the sweat off his forehead with his hand, he began to weave the baskets seriously. There was no way, although he was not in a good mood to make baskets now, but respecting each other line by line, the due caution of the bamboo craftsman's craftsmanship could not be lost.

If it is lost, his craftsmanship should regress.

Zhu Xiuqing, who was helping at the side, saw that the shape of the basket, which originally had only one frame, was quickly formed under Liu Xing's skillful hands, and there was no flaw between the bamboo strips, and between the bamboo strips and the bamboo frame, just like a perfect work of art Generally, one can't help but be surprised at the moment.

Because she knew that if it was herself, she would not be able to do this at all.

When Grandpa weaved the baskets, although the technique was very similar, it was not as sharp, as if the baskets were natural in Liu Xing's hands.

Grandpa once said that this kind of craftsmanship is only available to master bamboo craftsmen.

But Liu Xing is only 14 years old now, so he has the craftsmanship of a master bamboo craftsman. Isn't this abnormal?
The only explanation is that Liu Xing is really a genius.

Zhu Xiuqing thought to herself.

Liu Xing didn't know what Zhu Xiuqing was thinking. After weaving the first basket, he said, "Sister, you can weave the other one. I have to go out and see my younger brothers and sisters."

"I can't!" Zhu Xiuqing even waved his hand: "I am ashamed of your craftsmanship. Unless I am remaking a pair of baskets, I won't weave another one if I am killed."

It is said that it is impossible for others to imitate the things made by one hand, but Zhu Xiuqing does not mean that in what she said now, but does not want others to see that the baskets she made are too far from Liu Xing's.

This is an insult to an artist, so she would rather offend Liu Xing than be insulted by others.

"Okay! Sister, you can make a pair of baskets and come out to have a look, maybe it can save me a lot of trouble!" Liu Xing, who knew what Zhu Xiuqing was thinking, smiled lightly. After checking the belt of the broken machine, he got up and walked out of the shed.

When I came back, it was already more than an hour later.

Liu Xing brought his younger brother Liu Hang and younger sister Peanut to the greenhouse.

There is no way, these two guys have regarded the market as their home since they came to the market, and they have never been idle. It will be time for dinner soon. If they don't call back, That would be disgusting.

In fact, some of the early ones had already been eaten. Liu Xing even found a half-eaten braised pig's trotter in Xiao Huasheng's hands, which must have been given to Xiao Huasheng by the boss he knew.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xing covered his head and didn't know what to say for a while.

This is not going to work, maybe the boss who feeds the little peanut stewed pig's trotters doesn't care about it at all, but after a long time, it is inevitable that he will bear some bad reputation.

This is a big taboo in rural areas and cannot be ignored.

Just as he was about to give a good warning, his father appeared by his side: "Son, today we weaved a total of six hundred dustpans a day. Would you like to send them to the soy bean shop now?"

"Send it tomorrow!" Liu Xing thought for a while and replied.

Sister Zhang's soy bean shop is doing so well, so she might just sit down and have a rest at this time, if she bothers her, it would be really bad.

"Alright!" Father Liu Dagen sneered: "By the way, when your fourth uncle left today, he asked me something. He wanted your two aunts to come and help us. What's your opinion?"

"Two aunts here to help?" Liu Xing frowned when he heard this, "I'm afraid this help is fake?"

"It must be a fake! They have to be paid, but you can rest assured that they will not be slower than your mother's family!" Liu Dageng continued.

"It's not a question of whether it's slow or not. Aunt Hua is fine, but Aunt Ju..." Liu Xing scratched his head in embarrassment.

Aunt Ju was the youngest in her father's generation.

But she is not as hard-working and hard-working as her fourth uncle. She is used to being pampered by her grandparents. She never does anything at home. She just stays at home every day, waiting for three meals a day to be delivered to her mouth.

Such people come to work in the greenhouse, I am afraid that they need to use incense to make offerings.

I remember when I was seven years old, my parents went to Damo Village to pick up camellia oleifera to earn work points. Due to the long distance, I didn’t come back after nine o’clock in the evening. eat.

Who knew that I happened to bump into Aunt Ju eating stewed loach. I thought I could drink it with soup, but I didn't expect to be kicked out by the bamboo sticks.

In the end, the grandparents arrived after hearing the news, and even though they reprimanded Aunt Ju for such a vicious behavior, the stewed loach still had no points, and they didn't get a meal. After all, the grandparents didn't know that he and his younger brother hadn't eaten at this time.

Although my mother stood at the door of my grandparents and yelled at him the next day, and sought some justice for him and his younger brothers, the hatred between Aunt Ju and Aunt Ju ended there.

Before the year 2000, the fourth uncle always quarreled with his parents, among which Aunt Ju had a lot of 'credit' for instigating dissension.

Now that he was reborn, Aunt Ju actually wanted to come to his greenhouse to help out. Although this was a butterfly effect, Liu Xing would never agree in his heart.

Because the impression of Aunt Ju is too 'ugly' in his heart.

Compared with Aunt Hua, there is a world of difference between the two.

His father, Liu Dageng, saw that Liu Xing had nothing to say about Aunt Ju, and his expression changed slightly: "Son, let me tell you the truth! It was your grandfather's intention to let your two aunts come here to work. If I don't agree , you know the consequences."

"I know, let them come, anyway, there is no difference between two more people and two less people, but there are some rules, dad, you have to make it clear first!" Liu Xing said with a faint smile, an imperceptible flicker in his eyes Wisdom shines.

"Rules?" Liu Dageng was puzzled.

"Everyone who comes to the greenhouse to do things in the future must abide by this rule. Once this rule is broken, they will not be used to do things!" Liu Xing said slowly: "First, you must come to the greenhouse to report at seven o'clock in the morning, and you can only report after six o'clock in the afternoon. Get off work, second..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his father Liu Dagen: "Your two aunts have never been to other places to do work. It's too early to arrive at the greenhouse at seven o'clock, isn't it?"
