Xianyuan Farm

Unable to bear the sadness of the other party, and besides, it was not proven that the little boy was cheating at this moment, Gu Hongyu put on what he thought was the kindest smile, and said to the little boy: "Kid, why are you following me all the way? "

The little boy had a strong expression on his face. No, it should be called stubborn. He stared at Gu Hongyu with bulging eyes and said firmly: "Uncle, I am not a bad boy. I followed you without making any bad plans..."

Gu Hongyu smiled and said: "Haha, you, with your thin body, are trying to trick me. Aren't you asking for trouble!"

"By the way, what do you mean by following me all the way with this little wooden sculpture? Are you thinking that you will have a chance to blackmail me later?" Gu Hongyu stepped forward, picked up the rough wooden sculpture and handed it back to the little boy. 8 novel`

When he heard the word "blackmail", the little boy suddenly got excited and put aside his fear and shouted at Gu Hongyu: "I just said, I am not a bad boy, and I have no intention of blackmailing you."

Gu Hongyu paused for a moment, feeling that the unintentional words he just casually said might touch the pain in the little boy's heart, and immediately said softly: "I'm sorry, uncle was joking with you just now, let's talk about it now." You must come to me if you have something to do during such a long journey. See if I can do it. If I can, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Really?" the little boy asked tentatively again.

"Of course." Gu Hongyu answered briefly but firmly.

After hearing what Gu Hongyu said, the little boy said eagerly: "Uncle, can you buy this wood carving in my hand?"

After speaking, the little boy handed the wood carving to Gu Hongyu.

Gu Hongyu had briefly inspected this wood carving just now. In order to save the little boy's face, he pretended to look at it seriously again, while the little boy on the side had eyes full of hope.

However, the wood carving in his hand is indeed very ordinary. As mentioned earlier, the carving craftsmanship is very rough, and even the wood used for carving is very common. If Gu Hongyu read it correctly, the wood carving should be made of pine wood.

Gu Hongyu didn't like such an ordinary wood carving. He was just thinking about rejecting the little boy and returning the wood carving to him. When he thought about it, his heart moved. Why did the little boy in front of him want to take this crude wood carving so eagerly? Is there any reason for selling it?

Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu retracted his hand. As he stretched and retracted, the expression on the little boy's face changed first to disappointment and then to expectation.

Gu Hongyu did not directly ask about the price of the wood carving, but first asked: "Kid, what is your name? Was this wood carving carved by your family? Why do you want to sell it to me?"

The little boy hesitated to speak, but after an inner struggle, his face soon became firm again: "Uncle, my name is He Xiaohai, and I carved this wood carving by myself. I used to go to the small streets to play, and I saw many people. People who visit here buy wood carvings and leave, so I also learn from those wood carving masters.”

"But it's been many days since I finally carved something, and the wood carving still hasn't been sold. I saw you buying a lot of things on the street today, including a lot of wood carvings, and I thought you must be a I’m someone who likes wood carving, so I’ll follow you and show you the wood carving.”

So that’s it, is this kid learning sculpture or is he self-taught?

However, precisely because He Xiaohai has not received systematic wood carving training, he does not yet understand the evaluation criteria for whether a wood carving work is good or bad. In addition to the selection of materials, wood carvings also depend on the technical skills of the carver. Another very important factor in judging the value of a wood carving is whether the wood carving was made by a famous artist.

Naturally, there is a huge difference in the value of wood carvings made by famous masters and unknown people.

"Xiaohai, why do you want to learn wood carving? By the way, where are your family members? They just ignore you. That's it..."

Before Gu Hongyu could finish speaking, He Xiaohai interrupted him very rudely: "Don't say bad things about my parents. I just like wood carvings, right? Do you want to buy this wood carving?"

"Okay. I'll buy it. How much can you tell me?" Gu Hongyu sighed. He Xiaohai must have experienced something, otherwise a child wouldn't be like this.

I learned that Gu Hongyu wanted to buy his wood carvings. There was a strange look in Xiaohai's eyes, but he immediately said cautiously: "Uncle, what do you think of this wood carving for 50 yuan?"

Gu Hongyu smiled. The other person was a very honest child. He replied without thinking: "No problem, but can I follow you to the place where you carve the wood carvings and take a look."

Gu Hongyu was very interested in this child's character and certain aspects. It can be regarded as a good match. If the other party's family is in trouble, Gu Hongyu might as well do a good deed, so he put forward an additional condition.

He Xiaohai thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, but can you give me the money for the wood carving first?"

They were about to go to his house. Was he afraid that he would run away? Gu Hongyu smiled again, took out a fifty and handed it over, and took the wooden sculpture casually.

After receiving the money, He Xiaohai once again looked at the wood carving that left him. This wood carving was his first successful work. He showed a little reluctance on his face, but he soon thought happily that he would still carve in the future. Produce better and more wood carvings.

It is said that He Xiaohai's home is not far from here. Gu Hongyu followed He Xiaohai through a crowded street. When he was about to enter a forest path, He Xiaohai suddenly turned back and went to a stall selling pancakes and stared at the freshly baked pancakes.

"Why, you have money and plan to buy something to take home?" Gu Hongyu, who was following behind him, asked with a smile.

He Xiaohai nodded: "Well, my mother likes pancakes very much. I sold the wood carvings today. If I bring her a few pancakes back, she will be very happy."

Gu Hongyu touched the other's head. Although the other party resisted with all his strength, he said: "Don't hide, you can choose these pancakes, and I will pay for everything."

"Really? I can take everything on this stall?" He Xiaohai stopped resisting after hearing what Gu Hongyu said. Looking at the pancakes, glutinous rice balls, egg pancakes, fried glutinous rice cakes and a pot of steaming tea eggs on the stall, he couldn't resist the temptation at all.

This is the true reaction of a teen-year-old. Before, He Xiaohai looked so old that Gu Hongyu felt uncomfortable.

Well, it didn't take long for Gu Hongyu to regret it. He Xiaohai really bought all the things on the stall.

Now, in addition to pulling two suitcases, Gu Hongyu also had to help He Xiaohai carry pancakes and many other foods. He Xiaohai in front of him took a big bite of the egg pancake in one hand, and also drank a mouthful of soy milk, with a satisfied look on his face.
