Chapter 2542 There are guests
This is the only difference between the two wood carvings.
A wooden sculpture shows Xiao Xiao wearing a bracelet on his left wrist.
A wooden carving shows Xiao Xiao's left hand wrapped around Ah Bai.
……
Viewed individually, both wood carvings are exquisitely crafted.
But putting the two wood carvings together, the progress of the new wood carvings is obvious.
The smile and admiration on the old lady's face never left her face since she saw the wood carving.
"That's great."
The old lady kept mumbling.
"This level..."
"It's amazing..."
"...It's like the eyes are bright..."
The old lady stared into the eyes of the wooden sculpture.
It really feels like being watched.
Xiaoxiao, Ahjiu, and Ahbai were all looking at him.
Perhaps this scene was too familiar, as well as the white plum tree and the stone table and bench under the white plum tree. In a daze, the wood carvings in front of the old lady were stained with color, and the wind blew by.
The white plum blossoms flutter.
The branches made a soft rustling sound when touched lightly.
A piece of white plum petal fell, landing lightly on the stone table.
A little bit of sunlight filtered down from above.
Ah Jiu and Ah Bai both seemed to be glowing-
……
"Grandma."
……
The old lady turned her head suddenly.
Xiaoxiao hugged Ah Jiu and looked at her.
The eyebrows are slightly curved.
There is a smile on the lips.
It's like...
She lowered her eyes and looked at the wood carving in her hand.
He couldn't help but take a breath with emotion.
So similar.
"Old wood is really amazing..."
……
Xiao Xiao blinked.
"Yeah."
"Grandpa Mu is very powerful."
From grandma's attitude, you can see how much Grandpa Mu's skills have improved.
Grandma's reaction last time was not as exaggerated as it is now.
In a short period of time, Grandpa Mu’s powerful words have been repeated several times.
……
"So similar."
The old lady sighed.
Just because the carving was a scene she was very familiar with, it was inevitable that her heart was racing and she could not calm down.
……
"This is your Grandpa Mu's wish."
The old lady returned the two wood carvings to Xiao Xiao, "You have to keep them carefully."
"If you hadn't helped that kid Xiaosong, I don't think Lao Mu would be willing to give this wood carving away."
The old lady grinned.
Anyone else would want to keep such a high-level work in their own collection.
"Last time I could see that Lao Mumu was reluctant to let go."
"Not to mention this time..."
"I think he didn't send it here in person because he was afraid that he would regret it along the way."
……
Xiao Xiao laughed.
"Grandpa Mu will carve better works."
……
"Yeah."
The old lady nodded.
"After seeing these two wood carvings, I believe it."
"Your Grandpa Mu is obviously in good condition because the son you have been worrying about is back."
"I said before that my level is just like this..."
The old lady shook her head.
"Your Grandpa Mu still has a lot of room for improvement."
"I'm waiting to see the day when he truly becomes a master of wood carving."
……
"Then your two wood carvings will be valuable."
The old lady smiled.
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao also narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"I have to keep these two wood carvings well."
……
"Haha~"
Grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.
……
Xiao Xiao walked into the yard.
"Plum Girl."
he called softly.
……
A breeze picks up.
The wind stopped, and a figure of Pingting appeared in front of Xiao Xiao.
The plum girl gathered her skirt and bowed.
"Master Xiao Xiao."
The ethereal and clear sound blends perfectly with the cold winter temperature.
Even the increasingly fragrant aroma is a bit chilly.
……
Xiao Xiao smiled.
He raised the wooden sculpture in his hand.
"Look."
……
Mei Nu immediately understood what Master Xiao Xiao wanted to see.
All this time, it has been looking at Baimei with its own eyes. The wood carving allows you to see the white plum blossoms from another perspective.
……
This is not the first time I have seen the white plum blossom carved from wood.
Compared to the first time I saw the wood carving, this time the wood carving gave it more recognition.
"It's very similar."
Mei Nu withdrew her gaze from carefully observing the wood carvings and raised her eyes to look at Lord Xiao Xiao.
……
"Really?"
Xiao Xiao curled his lips.
"I also feel that the white plum carved by Grandpa Mu this time has gained five points of charm."
"It's amazing."
Xiao Xiao praised.
……
"Yeah."
Plum Girl nodded.
Humans are amazing.
Looks very weak, but very smart.
They always create all kinds of strange and interesting things.
Like monsters, humans also have their own abilities.
They are also very special and powerful abilities.
But...,
In its heart, Master Xiao Xiao is the most powerful.
Other humans can't even see it, let alone care enough about it.
……
The next morning, Xiao Xiao went downstairs and walked into the restaurant.
The white porridge that has been served on the dining table is emitting steam.
Side dishes, poached eggs, steamed buns...
A hearty breakfast filled the table.
After all, this is breakfast for five.
There are also fruits and snacks prepared for Ah Jiu and Ah Bai.
……
Xiao Xiao just picked up the chopsticks-
“Tweet~”
Familiar voices come closer and closer.
……
Xiao Xiao was slightly startled.
Apart from saying hello in the morning, Li rarely comes to the restaurant.
Is something wrong?
……
“Tweet~Tweet~”
Li's wings pointed to the door.
……
Xiao Xiao put down his chopsticks and stood up.
……
"Xiaoxiao?"
Xiao Xiao's sudden movement attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there anything you want to get?"
……
"No."
Xiao Xiao shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"We have guests coming."
"I'll open the door."
Because it was still early, the courtyard door was not opened.
However, the Xiao family does not unlock the courtyard door every day.
It's just that sometimes I open the door and don't lock it intentionally.
Anyway, almost no one passes by the alley outside the yard.
Uninformed people would not go out of their way to open the door.
Those who know how to push the door open are all old neighbors of the Xiao family.
……
"Guest?"
Xiao's mother and others looked at each other.
What guests?
They invariably retracted their gazes from each other, and turned to look in the direction of the door.
Although they are in a position where they can't easily see the door.
……
Because of the low temperature and biting wind, the door to the living room was closed.
They were in the restaurant again.
It's not impossible to say that I didn't hear the knock on the door...
……
"You guys sit down."
Seeing that Xiao's mother and grandma seemed to want to get up, Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
"I'll just go."
After saying that, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked towards the living room.
……
"Okay, why don't you just open the door?"
Grandpa Xiao put a chopstick of side dishes on the porridge, "What's there to worry about?"
"How old are you..."
……
The old lady glared at the old man.
"What did you say?"
"What we are curious about is who came here early in the morning?"
……
"You'll find out later?"
Grandpa Xiao is here.
"I'm a lot older, but I'm still so impatient..."
The old man shook his head.
……
Xiao Xiao opened the door to the living room.
The cold air rushes in.
The thin mist between heaven and earth has not cleared yet.
