The leisurely life of rebirth.

Mo Nan put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of the desk, and first asked Lei Xiao a very simple question: "What is the purpose of grinding ink?"

Lei Xiao laughed, even though he has never eaten pork, he has never seen a pig run away!Looking at her stupid expression, she seemed to be proud for a while, "Of course it's for writing!"

Fang Monan smiled and shook her head and said, "Grinding ink is not for writing and painting, but for self-cultivation and inner self-cultivation." Seeing his ignorant look, she continued, "Maybe you don't understand, I hope You remember the saying, 'It is not man who grinds ink and ink grinds man'."

Grinding ink seems simple, but in fact it has extremely strict procedures and requirements. It is not easy to grind ink well.Fang Monan instructed Lei Xiao to pour clean water into the inkstone, do not use tea or hot water, rather less than too much.Then Lei Xiao picked up the ink stick and began to grind it, Fang Monan kept telling him what to do.

When grinding ink, pay attention to the straightness of the path, that is, when grinding ink, it should be light and heavy, and the speed should be moderate. Lei Xiao's standing posture should also be correct, and the ink block should be circled vertically on the inkstone, not oblique or straight, let alone Feel free to grind.As for the uniformity and speed of the force when grinding the ink, it is also very particular. [

Fang Monan watched Lei Xiao grind slowly, with correct posture and attitude.With ecstatic eyes and wandering thoughts, people nowadays have long been far away from paper and pens, let alone ancient pens, inks, papers and inkstones.Even at this time, elementary school still had red drawing classes, and most of them used whole bottles of ink, and never grinded ink by hand.Not to mention later generations, computer typing has replaced writing, and people have reached the point of forgetting to write.

After grinding for a while, Lei Xiao felt a little sore in his wrist and stopped.Rub your wrists, don't underestimate how tiring grinding ink is.

Fang Monan said, "Change hands and add some water."

Lei Xiao did as he was told.Grinding the ink with the left hand, "Phew! It's so easy to grind the ink on TV, but it's really hard for me when it's my turn."

"What is done on paper will eventually become shallow. I know that this matter must be practiced." Fang Monan said slowly. "It's not okay to have high eyesight and low hands."

"That's right! I only know after doing it myself." Lei Xiao nodded.

In order to get Lei Xiao motivated, Fang Monan continued, "Only when I grind it with my own hands, I find that even if it is the same ink stick and the same inkstone, the juice produced by grinding is different in thickness and thickness. Some Full and hearty, some are harsh and jerky. The truth is that the writing has not yet been written, and the good and the bad have already been seen. Dabao and Erya have not been as good as you before!"

"Hey... is that right!" Lei Xiao said happily.Hearing that the two little guys are not as good as himself, I feel very good, as if I have finally surpassed them, childish and innocent thoughts.

But it worked. Seeing that Lei Xiao worked harder.

Fang Monan continued. "The word "Qi" in calligraphy should start when the paper is laid and the ink is rubbed. The so-called regulating the breath, concentrating and holding the breath should be completed one by one during the process of spreading the paper and rubbing the ink. Feel it carefully, and you will gain something.”

"En!" Lei Xiao nodded, he thought Mo Mo was just a prelude to unnecessary actions, but he didn't expect that it was actually an introduction that could not be neglected at all.

Fang Monan said, "Okay, this is just right! The ink is polished to a moderate thickness. Not too thick or too light. Now let's paint red! Start with the strokes."

Fang Monan handed Lei Xiao a red copybook, and the strokes on it also showed how to start and end the strokes horizontally, vertically, vertically, and downwardly, which is easy to learn.

"It seems that we came just in time!" Dabao and Eryamen came in.

The two of them automatically stood on the small stools and wrote big characters in red. Fortunately, the mahogany desk was big enough for the three of them.The two little guys took out the inkstone from the box.The ink inside is not cracked and still usable.The three began to paint red.

Fang Monan said, "The purpose of tracing red is not to trace red, but to understand the structure of red model characters, and even the spirit in the text, and finally form a font with its own style, and even a unique calligraphy. This is the original meaning of "trace red" .”

Why!It is estimated that these are just deaf ears, and practice makes perfect. The most stupid method is just a lot of hard work.

"Dong dong..." There was a knock on the door, and grandma entered, "Nannan, uncle Dacheng and the others are here."

"Oh!" Fang Monan said to the three little bean dings, "Okay, let's come here today, let's go play a game!" The snow is still falling outside, so we can't go out. [

"Wow... that's good!" Dabao and Erya quickly packed up their things, that speed is really fast!Lei Xiao didn't show any weakness, nor did he move slowly!

The game Fang Monan was talking about was Contra, a home game console, which was all the rage. Fang Monan also played it when he was a child. When he first played it, his fingers blistered when he pressed it. It hurts!But there is nothing to worry about, all I can do is play, it is so attractive.But now that Fang Monan has cleared the customs, the attraction is not so great.Only unknown levels can attract the player's attention.

This kind of game can't be stopped, it's better to be blocked than to be blocked, Fang Monan gave them enough time, but since the three little guys were led by Fang Monan to clear the level, their attractiveness has naturally dropped a lot.

The three little guys rushed into the living room, playing skillfully.Fang Monan also came down behind them, and Dachengzi's family was already sitting in the living room.

"Cousin, aunt, stone is good! It's snowing here too, and the road is not easy." Fang Monan sat down on the sofa with a smile.

"Hey...the snow is falling and the road is not too slippery, but I am not afraid that our car is equipped with snow chains!" Da Chengzi laughed. "It's not going to be Chinese New Year soon. Send me some souvenirs. It's not worth a lot of money. They are all our own products."

Dachengzi would send back some local products every year and festival, such as homemade coarse cloth, cloth shoes, hickory nuts, dried persimmons, etc.

Mom brought tea and put it in front of Da Chengzi and the others one by one, "Drink tea!" Da Chengzi and the others leaned over to take the tea.

"Stone! How is it at Beijing University! You can't get used to it. From what I can see, you are much thinner than at home." Grandma frowned and said, "The food at school is not good, or Dachengzi didn't give you enough living expenses! Look how thin you are."

"Auntie, how can it be! He is my son, and I can still lose him." Da Chengzi argued dumbfoundingly.

"Grandma! It's nothing to do with my dad. I'm going to work and study." Shitou patted his chest, rolled up his arms again, and his muscles came out with all his strength, "It's strong!"

"Look! It's Da Chengzi who treated you badly, and went out to work to earn money." Grandma gave him a complaining look.

"Yes! Auntie, please talk about the father and son. It's not that our family has no money. Shouldn't students put their studies first?" Li Mei said hurriedly as if she had found reinforcements. Mothers are all the same. She was always afraid that her child would be wronged when she went out, but she didn't expect her child to find fault by herself.

"Grandma, Mom, the money my dad gave is enough, I want to be independent." Shitou looked at Fang Monan and said, "Compared with Sister Nan, I am still far behind."

"Young people, you should hone yourself and learn more from social colleges." Mr. Lin smiled, "I support you."

When grandma heard what he said, her precious granddaughter smiled and said, "No one can compare with my Nan Nan." She thought for a while and said, "Stone! You have to take it easy and pay attention to your body!"

"Hey! Aunt and grandma, I know that well." Shitou said with a smile.

"Let's stay at home for dinner today. After dinner, we might as well stay overnight. It's not easy to go in snowy weather. It's not too late to leave tomorrow morning." Grandma continued, "Try Nannan's handicrafts."

"Okay! We didn't plan to leave at first." Da Chengzi joked with a smile. "I listen to my aunt."

"Then I'll cook." Fang Monan got up and said.

Da Chengzi and his lover Li Mei, "Let your aunt help you."

"No need! How can I let Amei do it!" Mom stopped her, "I'll go and help Nan Nan." [

Li Mei still stood up and said with a smile, "I'm going to steal my teacher from Nan Nan, now Sister Dayan won't refuse it!"

Fang Monan first wrote a note and asked Xiao Hui to hand it over to Qiu Lian, they need to settle the dinner by themselves, there are guests at home. ,

Home-cooked dishes for dinner, fried bacon with dried radish, bacon, spicy chicken wings, vinegared cabbage, crispy donkey meat in red oil, fish-flavored pork shreds, steamed chicken with taro, black pepper beef tenderloin, hot and sour potato shreds, small Crispy fish.

"Wow...Compared with Nan Nan, I can't watch cooking." Li Mei sighed, "But I also learned a lot of cooking tips."

Mom and Li Mei took out the dishes one by one, "Dinner is ready."

Fatty's family also came in, and after exchanging greetings with Da Chengzi and the others, the people in the living room went to the dining room to cook one after another, "It's so rich and delicious!" Shi Shi said, wanting to pinch it with his hands.

"Pa..." Li Mei slapped Shi Shi's head with her sandy palm. "Whatever you think about it, you don't want to study like Dabao and Erya, wash your hands."

"Mom, save some face for me." Shitou said shyly.

"Okay, it's all my own people, so why not be embarrassed." Li Mei said.Shitou went to wash his hands obediently, and everyone laughed, no matter what, they would always be children in front of these people.

"Okay, let's serve dinner." Grandma said when she saw that everyone was here.

After a lively meal, Fatty and Dachengzi chatted while eating, and of course they talked more about work matters.After dinner, Lei Xiao was picked up by Bai Qing who came on foot.

After dinner, the dining table was in a mess, and my mother and Li Mei cleaned it up.A few old people and Jian Huixin played with Dabao and Erya.Fatty, Dachengzi, Shitou and Fang Monan entered the study.

When the four sat down, Da Chengzi saw the Kung Fu tea set on the coffee table and actively brewed Kung Fu tea.

"Hey! Da Chengzi also learned how to make Kung Fu tea." The fat man joked.

"Hehe... I learned from you guys!" Dacheng kept his hands, "I gradually like making kung fu tea by myself. I keep busy with my left and right hands. My thinking is empty. I also know what I am doing. , and I don’t remember what I have done. Only the strong tea fragrance, through the taste buds, penetrates my heart. Let my restless heart calm down and stop being arrogant.” (To be continued. If you like this work, Welcome to vote, monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
