Chapter 354 Lin Fan’s return gift is huge

“There are too many things. Now it’s not a question of whether we can finish them or not, but there is no place to put them at home!”

In the past few days, Lin Fan has been busy receiving express deliveries and sorting out the various New Year goods that everyone has sent to him. The kitchen in the backyard is full, the storage room is full, and even Lin Fan has vacated a part of his own room to store these New Year goods, but it is still not enough.

As a last resort, Lin Fan could only put some of the New Year goods in the hall. Fortunately, the longed-for courtyard was no longer receiving customers, otherwise it would be quite inconvenient.

"Teacher Zhou and Teacher Liu were relatively restrained, but Li Xiaodong, Lu Bingyang, oh, and Sister Hui, I don't know if these three had an agreement, but each of them sent three large boxes, which were so heavy! Even the boss did the same, and sent me a bunch of health products. Am I someone who needs such things?"

"What's even more outrageous is Brother Ben. He actually said that my yard is very suitable for his big cow to walk around. He also wanted to entrust the big cow to me for a month and take it back after the Chinese New Year. By the way, the big cow is the Husky that Brother Ben raised. When it gets wild, two grown men can't control it..."

Xia Yan couldn't help but smile as she listened to Lin Fan's happy complaints coming from the other end of the phone. She didn't expect that Lin Fan had made so many friends without realizing it.

"So what gifts did you send them in return?"

Lin Fan paused: "How do you know that I have already sent them all return gifts?"

Xia Yan smiled secretly. Lin Fan was still quite stingy, especially after he bought a lot of New Year's goods and received an even bigger pile of New Year's goods. Based on the principle that he couldn't be the only one suffering, but everyone should suffer together, Lin Fan would definitely double the gift in return.

This bit of bad taste is quite cute.

"I guess."

"Okay," Lin Fan said with a little pride, "I gave them all gifts in return. Well, they are mainly specialties from Huahai Island, and there are also some small gifts that I made myself..."

Xia Yan: ...I have a bad feeling.

Chen Yuan rushed in holding her phone: "Yanyan, Yanyan! Check the Internet!"

Xia Yan stretched his head and saw the page opened on Chen Yuan's mobile phone. It was a new update just posted by Hui Qiaodan's personal Weibo account, as well as an accompanying nine-square grid photo.

[Hui Qiaodan: Oh my god! @Lin Fan, what's wrong with your little brain? How come you are so clever and dexterous! ]

Without Xia Yan saying anything, Chen Yuan clicked on the picture.

First is a panoramic photo, which is obviously a framed portrait. The person in the portrait is Hui Qiaodan, but the whole painting does not have any obvious color differences. It is all white. At first glance, it looks like a plaster statue, but it is obviously not plaster.

The second picture was an enlarged view of the details of the painting. Xia Yan looked carefully at the three-dimensional relief-like effects and asked, "Is this a shell?"

Lin Fan on the other end of the phone laughed, "You guessed it. There aren't any great specialties on Huahai Island, and even if there were, Hui Jie and the others wouldn't be short of them, so after thinking about it, in addition to the regular New Year's goods, it would be better to make some small things for them myself."

Then, Lin Fan set his sights on the shells that could be found everywhere on Huahai Island.

"This is a shell carving, which is simply a painting made by piecing shells together. Of course, this is more difficult than drawing with a pen, because you need to grind the shells into the required shape first, and then paste them on the drawing board."

Of course, Lin Fan chose this as a return gift mainly because it made him look awesome!

Xia Yan was extremely surprised. Such an exquisite portrait was actually made of shells. How carefully must it be polished to use the shells as paintbrushes to form a complete painting? Xia Yan suddenly felt a little sorry for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan always tries his best to respond to other people's kindness. Hui Qiaodan may appreciate Lin Fan's talent, or she may be straightforward, or she may really want to make friends with Lin Fan. In short, no matter what the reason, Hui Qiaodan's kindness to Lin Fan is within a relatively normal range. In fact, Lin Fan only needs to return the gift normally, or just call to thank her.

But Lin Fan didn't.

Lin Fan tried his best to respond to this friendship. Xia Yan could imagine how Lin Fan worked so hard to make these gifts one by one and then send them out separately in order to return the gift.

Xia Yan's silence made Lin Fan a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to persuade her: "It's not a big deal, I made this painting very big just to cut corners, ah, you can't tell Sister Hui this.

I enlarged the scale of this painting so that I wouldn't have to spend so much time polishing the shells. I just polished them casually. I didn't even bother to paint them. Look at the whiteness on it. Doesn't it look like plaster?"

Lin Fan muttered, “I feel like even if I just used white paint to paint Sister Hui’s head on a big shell, she would be so happy.

But considering that she might post it on Weibo and be seen by many netizens, I still put in some effort to make a similar gift to avoid being criticized by knowledgeable netizens. "

Now it's good, isn't it? Everyone is amazed by his craftsmanship? Well, the premise is that Liang Ben will not directly show the gift like Hui Qiaodan did.

Lin Fan felt inexplicably guilty.

But it was too late.

"There's more!" Chen Yuan exited Hui Qiaodan's super blog and opened Liang Ben's super blog for Xia Yan to see.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Xia Yan glanced at the picture and a question mark popped up in his mind: "Is this, a, Erha?"

That’s right, Lin Fan’s return gift to Liang Ben was also made of shells, but unlike Hui Qiaodan’s portrait painting, the gift to Liang Ben was a three-dimensional shell sculpture made of shells pasted together, and the model was none other than Liang Ben’s beloved Husky, awesome!

It has to be said that Lin Fan's craftsmanship is really good, showing the funny essence of Erha to the fullest. Xia Yan looked at the shell-carved bull and felt that it would rush out at the next moment.

"Haha!" Lin Fan laughed awkwardly, "They look quite similar, don't they?"

Based on the principle that I can't be the only one who suffers, you all have to suffer together, the gifts Lin Fan gave to everyone all have one characteristic, that is, they are heavy! And they take up space! For example, the large portrait for Hui Qiaodan, the shell-carved dog for Liang Ben, the Chinese torreya wood chess block + clam stone chess pieces + rosewood chess box for Zhou Yue, and the large one for Liu Zhengyan... Later, it was changed to small and medium-sized root carvings, mainly because it exceeded the maximum size and weight of express delivery.

Another example is the three boxes of seafood for Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang. Anyway, they are big and heavy! Xia Yan felt Lin Fan's good mood from the slight pride in his words, but still felt distressed: "Does your hand hurt?"

Your hands must be hurting from polishing so many shells, right?

It must be very hard to prepare so many return gifts? Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, and a warm current rose in his heart: "It doesn't hurt, really. I also prepared a gift for you, but I won't send it to you. I will just put it in your room."

Xia Yan smiled: "Well, you don't need to send it, I will go home and read it myself."

Lin Fan nodded, but thinking that Xia Yan couldn't see, he said, "Okay."

Waiting for you to come home.
