Chapter 2544 Learning from the Lessons
"That kid Xiaosong told you"
Mu Lao smiled bitterly.
"The job I'm doing is almost due."
"There is really no time..."
"But I want you to see it soon..."
"After all, it's been delayed for a long time..."
Ever since he knew that there was a detail in his wood carving that was wrong, although he objected to Lao Xiao's words at that time, Mu Lao agreed with Lao Xiao's statement in his heart.
He wants to carve a new one.
Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable just thinking about that little flaw.
It's fine now.
He finally produced a perfect work.
At least in his eyes, this work was perfect.
……
"Grandpa Mu, your work is really good."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"We all love it."
……
“I like it very much.”
Mrs. Xiao emphasized.
“The carving is so real.”
"It's amazing."
"Old wood, you will become a real carving master."
Mrs. Xiao said almost confidently.
……
Mu Lao smiled heartily.
He came here this time just to ask Xiaoxiao personally what he thought of wood carvings.
After all, it is his proud work.
He wanted the most honest feedback.
Unexpectedly, it received praise beyond expectations.
Mu Lao was very happy.
It has always been his dream to truly become a master in carving.
After listening to Mrs. Xiao's words, he thought that he had taken another step towards this dream.
One step, one step.
No need to go too fast.
As long as he doesn't stop and is steady, one day he will reach the end.
He will realize his dream.
……
Mu Lao didn't stay long before he said goodbye and left.
After all, he is in good condition now and would love to stay in the carving room all day.
There is still work to be done.
That kid Komatsu still needs more practice if he wants to share his work.
Gumuxuan does not allow half-baked works to be given to customers.
It will damage Gumuxuan's reputation.
This is something Mu Lao will never allow.
……
Open the door-
"Woo~
A cold wind rushes in.
Along with it comes the fragrant plum fragrance.
Mu Lao couldn't help but take a deep breath while shrinking back.
It smells so good.
Mu Lao couldn't help but reveal a somewhat addicted smile.
……
"Xiaoxiao."
On the way Xiao Xiao was sending Mu Lao out, although he knew it was not good, Mu Lao still couldn't help but twist his head frequently.
That white plum tree is really beautiful.
This is a fact he has known for a long time.
Otherwise, he would not have specifically chosen this white plum as one of the objects for carving.
I just know...
Every time he saw Bai Mei, he was still as amazed as the first time he saw her.
"It's incredible..."
Mu Lao murmured.
How could there be such a... spiritual white plum in the world?
Yes.
Reiki.
That light and faint thing all over my body...is it white mist?
It must be the cold.
Mu Lao was not sure.
It's just that in his eyes, this kind of white plum blossom is like a fairy.
Very special.
Also very beautiful.
……
"Mulao."
Xiao Xiao held the old man slightly.
Mu Lao was stunned.
"Huh?"
……
"Be careful of the threshold."
Xiao Xiao reminded the old man.
……
Mu Lao looked down.
really.
In front of your feet is a threshold.
If Xiaoxiao hadn't reminded him in time, he might have tripped.
That would be bad.
……
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for reminding me." Mu Lao smiled gratefully.
"Otherwise, if I really fall, I will be scolded to death by the old woman."
Mu Lao looked happy.
"It will also delay the engraving."
……
Xiao Xiao quirked his eyebrows.
"Grandpa Mu, look ahead when walking."
……
Hearing this, Mu Lao smiled sarcastically.
"Cough~"
Mu Lao cleared his throat uncomfortably.
"It's my fault."
"This white plum tree of yours is so beautiful."
Mu Lao turned his head.
The scene that immediately came into view once again filled his eyes with surprise.
His face was full of admiration.
He felt that he was at a loss for words about this white plum tree.
The so-called beauty that is difficult to describe with pen and ink...
He really saw it in this white plum.
……
"Hey, Xiaoxiao."
Mu Lao glanced at Xiao Xiao from the corner of his eye.
His attention was still unwilling to completely leave Bai Mei's body.
"How do you grow this white plum tree at your home?"
“It didn’t exist in the earliest times, right?”
As an old neighbor of the Xiao family, Mu Lao had never been to the Xiao family's yard when he was a child.
But at that time, he had never seen this white plum tree.
If he had seen it, he would never forget it.
I have only seen such an otherworldly white plum once... Who can forget it?
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "Grandma picked it up from the road a few years ago."
"It should have been thrown away."
……
"What?!"
Mu Lao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Did your grandma pick up this white plum on the road?!"
How is it possible?
Can you pick up such beautiful white plums on the road?
Where?
He wants to pick it up too!
……
"Of course it wasn't like this when grandma picked it up."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
“At that time, grandma just picked up this white plum plant with a sense of luck.”
"I don't know if I can save him."
"So she didn't tell us at first that she had picked up a white plum tree."
"The white plum blossoms bloomed in the back, and we noticed that there was an extra white plum tree in the yard."
……
"...That's it."
Mu Lao was a little surprised, "It was supposed to be fast, but it is already dying?"
People of the older generation are always shy about certain words.
Mu Lao changed his explanation.
His life now is better than ever.
He still wants to live a few more years.
Live long enough for that kid Xiaosong to take Gumuxuan from his hands.
……
"Yeah."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"It's tenacious."
“Survived well.”
……
Mu Lao slapped his mouth.
He looked at the white plum trees not far away.
More than surviving well...
It was a very good, very good survival.
"This...is also a counterattack, right?"
The old man thought of a word he occasionally heard on TV news.
It's so shocking.
Who would have thought that... this white plum tree was in a dying state a few years ago?
Hey, speaking of this...
Mu Lao looked at Xiao Xiao this time, "So, how do you feed it?"
"How well are you raised?"
If you have special experience...
He also wanted to learn from it and raise one in his yard.
He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that when winter came, his yard would be filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms and he could see plum blossoms in full bloom.
The scene was really beautiful.
……
"Is your grandma taking care of it?"
After all, the child Xiaoxiao said that it was his grandma who picked up the plum tree, and he didn't tell his family at first.
Since no one has told her, who else can take care of the plum tree besides Grandma Xiaoxiao who picked up the plum tree?
"It's amazing."
Mu Lao's face was full of admiration.
"I've known your grandma for so long, but I didn't know she was so good at taking care of plum trees."
