Nine-tiered fairy lotus

Chapter 8 Choice at the Crossroads
There was nothing to say all night, the starry sky and moonlight came and went.Sitting by the river, Hu Tu watched the dawn like a sharp sword split the night, watched the mountains and plains in the sky usher in the first ray of morning light, heard the whistling wind and the harmony of birds, felt the temperature of the air from The desolation became warm... He felt that he had become a part of Huacao Mountain.

"I never thought of spending the whole night like this before, watching the quiet night gradually disappear so clearly, every day is similar, but every day is different, so beautiful!" He took his feet out of the river, and more than a dozen piles of sand were lined up like soldiers, "I'm going to change the place tomorrow, otherwise when people see such piles of sand, they can't find the source. It might be suspicious."

When returning home, Hu Tu found the door of the study room was open, and he muttered, "I remember closing the door just now!" Looking inside from the door, Xu Suwan sat at the desk with her back to the door, holding a book he made last night. The nuclear carvings are watching.

"What did you do?" she asked, turning sideways.

"Yeah!" He nodded and asked back, "Is it okay?" He smiled confidently, with a look of pride on his face.

"Not so good!" She shook her head unexpectedly, and when she saw Hu Tu's confused expression, she seemed to have succeeded in a prank, and her face turned into a flower with a smile, adding, "Compared to some masters But you are just a beginner, so it’s pretty good to have such a level.” She didn’t know whether the nuclear sculpture was good or bad, but she only knew that Hu Tu was a beginner, so the work was naturally not much better. .And she can't intentionally hit her family, so she said so.

Hu Tu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mom, you scared me, I thought there was something wrong!" His face was full of thick smiles, he was very happy to be recognized, this is the first time This recognition, he believes, will be more and more in the future.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Suwan half smiled, half scolding, "I asked you to review your homework at home, and you just made these for me? You still have a face to smile, you don't plan to go to college, you want to eat carvings A bowl of rice?"

"I do have such a plan!" Hu Tu admitted.In any case, he finally had some results, and he had something to show for it, and he no longer was as secretive as before.He expressed his point of view, "Even if you finish college, you still have to earn money to eat, there is no difference!"

It fits the point of view of a teenager, flashy and befuddled.This proves that young people must be guided by good elders, and it is useless to travel alone.

Because traveling means growing up in mistakes.But if the mistakes made by young people are all made by the elders, then there will be no growth and transcendence at all, and the experience accumulated by the elders will be useless.

Life is short, and if you want to experience more possibilities in this short time, you need to be led by good elders, understand the mistakes they made, and then stand on their shoulders and move on.This is the meaning of education, so that we can go further.

"Of course there is a difference, and it's very different." Xu Suwan suddenly said very seriously, "You are still young, you don't know how good you are, and many people blindly choose an industry they don't like because they don't understand the use of studying. Look at me, it is because I have read a few more books, so I have the opportunity to do what I like."

"Mom!" Hu Tu suddenly complained embarrassingly, "You haven't studied for a few years longer than me!"

"What did you say?" Xu Suwan stood up, tapped Hu Tu's forehead with her right index finger, and cursed, "How old am I this year, how old are you? Can you compare? What age was I born in, what age were you born in?" Age, can we compare? What was my educational environment like when I was young, and what was yours, can you compare?"

She asked a series of questions, which hit Hu Tu's heart at once. He thought, "Mom is right, people of different ages cannot be compared together. So, don't look down on those People who are not as good as you may not have as good experience as you.” Because of Hu Xiaolian, he has a little more understanding of this truth than others.

The two chatted wildly for a while, then brought the topic back to the nuclear carving.Hu Tuzheng regretted that he didn't buy the rope for string carving, Xu Suwan replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I can buy it myself, besides, your eyesight has always been bad, so you can't buy any good-looking rope."

Xu Suwan's "vision" refers to aesthetics, because he is still a teenager, so Hu Tu's vision is still full of childishness.He still likes and dislikes purely like a child. A person's liking is a special experience, and there is no common progress in human culture and aesthetics.

"What's wrong with my eyesight." Hu Tu argued, "Mom, the things you bought are all colorful and gaudy, and I don't like them either." .

"Why do I want you to like it?" Xu Suwan didn't mean to use force to subdue others, she just said with contempt, "I buy things, as long as I like it. If you like it, I will doubt me." Is there something wrong with my aesthetics?" Beauty is objective, but liking is subjective.Arguing on subjective issues is doomed to be difficult to obtain the same result.

In the end, Hu Tu threw up his hands and surrendered, ending the debate.Then, he watched Xu Suwan pack all the nuclei carving works into a small cloth bag, which she used to wrap books.Although she doesn't read books, every once in a while, the books in the bag are replaced with new ones to prove that she is reading.Today, she was rummaging around while changing books, only to find the nuclear carving in the box.

She didn't think that these works were produced by Hu Tuyi overnight, but she didn't ask, this was not the answer to the question she immediately wanted to know.What she wants to know more is whether these works are valuable, can they support a person?

In the place where she works, there are people who like to exchange flower art, and they should also dabble in nuclear carving.She needs to ask for advice: if these nuclear carvings are really valuable, she will take the opportunity to show them off; if they are not valuable, she will have a reason to scold Hu Tu when she comes back, and it will not do any harm to her.

Hu Tu also expected Xu Suwan to bring him good news. He continued to practice in anticipation all day long, which can be said to be quite diligent.

And every time he sculpts a work, he will spend a little time analyzing the defects of the work and how to improve it.When encountering problems, we will also search for information on specific problems and make targeted improvements.Through these methods, he has made considerable progress in both skills and theory.

At night, there were not many two catties of black olive pits left.
