Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 109 Visit ([-])

However, even though they already knew that this kidnapping was not what they imagined.

However, the three girls were still very interested in this activity.

After all, this kind of engagement model is indeed more meaningful than the traditional engagement dinner.

The three women fell into fantasy there, imagining what it would be like to have a robbery marriage.

But Xie Linfeng's gaze was directed to the somewhat dilapidated stage on the side.

The year of this stage cannot be traced. At least in Xie Linfeng's memory, it has looked like this since he was a child.

According to the images in my memory, this stage seems to have always been this dilapidated.

Some of the cement in the corners has fallen off, and a lot of weeds have grown out of it.

Although the village cleans up those weeds several times every year, once for every major festival.

However, the stage is indeed a bit dilapidated and needs some repairs.

In order not to affect the historical and ancient meaning contained in the stage itself, it is impossible to overhaul it.

However, it would be okay to repair the areas that are already somewhat lacking.

As a result, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

However, these are just some ideas for now, and we need to find time to go to the village committee to confirm the details.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng is not in a hurry to implement it for the time being. After all, the most important thing today is to arrange Xu Hongmi.

After all, Xu Hongmi is also Xu Hongdou's biological sister.

Since Xin Fei covets someone else's biological sister, she must be properly arranged.

At least, this visit must make Xu Hongmi happy and enjoy herself to the fullest.

Therefore, all other matters must be put aside today.

Soon after, everyone finished visiting the stage and went to the village warehouse nearby.

The wood carving workshop is located in a warehouse, so it is natural for everyone to go to the wood carving workshop.

Coincidentally, Xie Linfeng's wood carving master Xie Heshun happened to be in the wood carving workshop today.

As soon as they walked into the door of the wood carving workshop, everyone heard Xie and Shunzheng's voices saying that they hated iron and steel:

"Xia Xia, you have been learning wood carving with me for two years!"

"How come you can't even carve the simplest little ornament?"

"Look at your senior brother Xie Linfeng. He has been able to carve small ornaments just half a year after he started."

"Moreover, the ornaments he carved have been unanimously recognized by the old masters in the village."

"Why can't you learn from your senior brother? You play mobile phones and games all day long."

"Can't you just calm down and study hard?"

"At your age, I have already started to support my family."

"Don't you know what's going on at home?"

"Think about it for yourself. If you don't listen to anything I say, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Good guy, Master Heshun's voice is still so loud.

Moreover, this series of angry curses immediately made Xie Linfeng feel like he was dreaming back to the beginning.

When Xie Linfeng first started learning wood carving from Xie Heshun, the wood carving workshop did not exist yet.

At that time, several young people in the village also learned wood carving from Xie Heshun.

However, they were only named disciples, not direct disciples like Xie Linfeng.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng is the "elder brother", and the others are junior brothers.

When those juniors were learning wood carving, they were attracted by Xie Linfeng's extraordinary talent.

When teaching his juniors who were not so talented, Xie Heshun often used Xie Linfeng to compare with them.

As a result, each of those people had a lot of "complaints" against Xie Linfeng.

However, Xie Linfeng's talent is really good. He has only started for half a year and is not yet full-time.

He can already carve out some complete small ornaments.

Moreover, Xie Linfeng's carving skills were unanimously recognized by the old masters in the village, and he was not inferior to them.

Therefore, although those junior brothers had complaints about Xie Linfeng, they could not show it.

After all, what Xie Heshun said was true. Who made their own talents inferior to Xie Linfeng?

After many years, Xie Heshun is still like this. When teaching Xia Xia, he still brings up Xie Linfeng for comparison.

This made Xie Linfeng feel dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic in his heart.

Those junior brothers had already gone their separate ways due to the continuous decline of the wood carving industry.

Originally, they were not accepted as personal disciples by Xie Heshun, so naturally they were not that attentive when teaching them.

Coupled with the continuous decline of the handmade woodcarving industry, there is no way out.

Naturally, they will not continue to waste time learning and settling.

Over the years, the apprentices around Xie Heshun have changed countless times.

However, Xie Linfeng was the only direct disciple before, but now there is Xia Xia.

In fact, Xia Xia's wood carving talent is already quite good.

At least, that was the last time Xie Linfeng chatted with Xie Heshun.

Xie Heshun also praised Xia Xia to Xie Linfeng, saying that his talent was not inferior to Xie Heshun himself.

Of course, compared to Xie Linfeng, Xia Xia's talent is still slightly inferior.

Therefore, now that he heard that Xie Heshun was educating Xia Xia again, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but laugh a little.

Putting back the emotion in his heart, Xie Linfeng began to lead the three women directly into the wood carving workshop.Next to the workbench in the main room of the wood carving workshop, Xia Xia was carefully carving a small ornament with her head down.

Xie Heshun was standing aside and watching quietly at this time, and the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn.

The footsteps of Xie Linfeng and others alerted Xie Heshun, who was putting pressure on Xia Xia.

He turned around unhappily, wanting to see who was disturbing his followers at this time.

However, when Xie Linfeng and the three women appeared in front of Xie Heshun, Xie Heshun's expression suddenly changed.

From being unhappy and serious, he suddenly became somewhat kind.

The changes in Xie Heshun's expression were all revealed in the eyes of Xie Linfeng and the three women.

Good guy, is this a Sichuan Opera face-changing show?
At this time, this idea flashed through the hearts of all the girls at the same time.

"Master, Xia Xia, are you all here?"

Xie Linfeng looked at Xie Heshun and Xia Xia with a smile and said hello.

After seeing that the visitor was Xie Linfeng, the smile on Xie Heshun's face never stopped.

After hearing Xie Linfeng's greeting, Xie Heshun nodded kindly and said:

"It's Xiaofeng, why do you have time to visit the wood carving workshop today?"

"Also, who are these people?"

Xie Heshun said, looking at the three women aside, his eyes were quite meaningful.

When Xie Linfeng saw Xie Heshun's eyes, he immediately knew what Xie Heshun was thinking.

He should be thinking about whether one of the three women is Xie Linfeng's partner.

Of course, Xie Linfeng would not explain this directly, but first introduced it to Xie Heshun:

"Master, these are some of my friends. They all came to our Yunmiao Village to relax."

"This is Xu Hongdou, and that is Chen Nanxing. They have been in Yunmiao for more than half a month."

"I brought them here last time, but it's a pity that the master was not there at that time!"

"By the way, I'm currently learning embroidery with Sister Huailan."

Xie Linfeng first introduced Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing to Xie Heshun.

Upon hearing this, Xie Heshun first nodded to the two women as a greeting, and looked at them curiously.

Seeing this, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing also nodded to Xie Heshun.

Afterwards, Xie Linfeng continued to point at Xu Hongmi and introduced:

"And this one, she is President Xu Hongmi and Xu Hongdou's biological sister!"

"I just came here yesterday, and I just happened to take her around the village today."

As soon as Xie Linfeng finished speaking, Xu Hongmi had already greeted Xie Heshun:

"Thank you, master. Hello, it's our first time meeting you!"

As she said that, Xu Hongmi extended her palm to Xie Heshun, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Xie Heshun.

Perhaps it was the first time he saw such a situation, and Xie Heshun was at a loss.

"Um, Mr. Xu, it's our first meeting, our first meeting, and you too!"

Saying that, Xie Heshun was still a little hurriedly wiping his hands with a towel.

Then he shook hands with Xu Hongmi somewhat unaccustomedly.

Seeing Xie Heshun's appearance, everyone suddenly had a smile in their eyes.

Even Xia Xia, who was eating melon on the side, was like this.

Afterwards, Xie Linfeng did not favor one over the other and continued to introduce Xia Xia.

Because they had met before, Xia Xia greeted Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing directly:
"Hello, Sister Hongdou, Sister Nannan, we meet again!"

When the two girls heard this, Gao Xia, who was also quite familiar, smiled and said hello.

Then, Xia Xia looked at Xu Hongmi again, and greeted with a slight smile:
"Hello, Sister Hongmi! This is the first time we meet. My name is Xie Xiaoxia. You can call me Xia Xia."

When Xu Hongmi saw Xia Xia actually greeting and introducing her, she immediately chuckled and said:

"Hello, Xia Xia, how old are you? Are you learning wood carving in this wood carving workshop?"

Hearing this, Xia Xia nodded sheepishly and said:

"Well, I'm learning wood carving from my master. This year is just right. I'll be an adult soon!"

"Oh? Oh, haven't you continued studying?" Xu Hongmi asked curiously after hearing this.

Hearing this, Xia Xia scratched her head in embarrassment and said:

"Well... I don't have good grades, I can't go to school, and I'm not old enough to work outside."

"So, I stayed in the village and learned wood carving from the master. Once I learned it, it would be considered an additional skill!"

Hearing this, Xu Hongmi nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"Well, it's good. Wood carving is also a cultural heritage of China and Africa. There's no harm in learning it!"

"Cultural renaissance is now underway in China, especially this kind of intangible cultural heritage."

"I believe that the traditional wood carving industry will usher in rapid development soon."

"So, if you learn this craft, your future development prospects should be great!"

"Development? What's the future? I just hope it doesn't continue to decline. Thank God!"

Xie Heshun on the side heard this and immediately retorted with emotion.

Regarding this point, Xie Heshun has quite a say.

After all, he has personally experienced and witnessed the decline of the wood carving industry.
