Chapter 193 Origami Computer
The new task given by Cui Yu made Mianmian very busy.
She was busy folding paper, or more strictly speaking, making paper folds.
As early as more than a thousand years ago, if people wanted to make the dead rest in peace, they would look for paper craftsmen to make paper-making of the carriages and clothes that the dead were used to wearing. For a more grand occasion, they would also make a pair of young boys and girls and some maids and servants, and burn them for the dead at the funeral.
There are many things to pay attention to. Dead objects, such as paper money, can still be used in the underworld, but living things, such as cows and horses, cannot. This is because paper-made living things are just empty shells. They are temporarily formed because of the wishes of the deceased's relatives and friends. They accompany the deceased to the underworld and help the deceased overcome some difficulties, such as "Golden Rooster Mountain" and "Evil Dog Ridge", and then disappear.
Otherwise, if the paper people or animals were also brought to the underworld, the underworld would have been filled with these things.
Mianmian had specially calculated the location for the paper-tying, and it happened to be next to Liu An's mother Wan Jia.
Wanjia still cannot show up and can only maintain the state of a tree.
When making paper-making, Mianmian asked family members not to get close, and she sat under the pomegranate tree with Liu An and the others to do it.
The reason why I don’t let my family members do this is because I’m afraid it will affect their luck. I have too many nephews and grandchildren, and they don’t stay at home every day. They go out occasionally.
Mianmian was afraid that her nephews and grandchildren would be harmed because of bad luck in places she had not taken care of.
The materials for paper-tying were not bought freshly, but were taken from the warehouse at home. They were not expensive, and there were a lot of them in the warehouse, including some coloring pigments.
Because the thing to be pierced was a computer, in front of Mianmian were computer accessories prepared by her nephew. It was also because of the computer accessories that the little boy was so worried that he touched his bald head many times.
"The things people use nowadays are so complicated." Mianmian said distressedly.
"Yes, it's very complicated." Ying Fang echoed Mianmian's words.
In the dynasty when he and Ying Miao lived, the most sophisticated thing they had ever seen was the gear, and the most automated thing was the waterwheel.
It’s nothing like now, where you can see what’s happening in the world without leaving your home through a rectangular box that’s neither too big nor too small.
I have also seen the two little paper zombies. At that time, the paper carriage had to be lifelike. The wheels and the carriage frame were made of bamboo strips, making them look like the real thing.
Because of this experience, the two little zombies know that the computer and network cable they are making now must be the same as a real computer.
They work hard to learn from Mianmian, trying their best to really help her.
Liu Eucalyptus also studied very seriously.
In order to have more people who could help, Mianmian also made three adult paper figures on the spot for Fengxianer, Rose and Lulu, and asked them to help together.
Lulu refused to help and just sat there playing on the pomegranate tree with her legs crossed.
Because Wanjia's real body was transplanted here and was still recovering, his soul could not leave his body yet, so Mianmian did not ask Wanjia for help.
While Mianmian and her men were busy here, the twins, who were ordered not to get close to Mianmian, were playing a football game with their father Su Chenyi, Baibai, Dahuang and Xiaohuang.
The twins take medicine every day and have talismans given by Mianmian on their bodies, so it’s okay even if white hair flies onto their faces when they play.
But while kicking, the two little guys would secretly glance at Mianmian.
Why is great aunt so busy? They also want to play football with great aunt!
As the twins were thinking about it, Su Chenyi's cell phone suddenly rang.
Su Chenyi has been completing the tasks assigned by Mianmian these days, helping the women rescued by Mianmian to find new jobs. The progress has been announced on his social media accounts, and netizens are very satisfied with his approach and have given him rave reviews.
Now that the study courses are on track and the children are being looked after by trusted people, Su Chenyi has time to stay at home with the children.
Su Chenyi enjoyed the joy of playing with his sons for the first time. He had a smile on his face and his eyes were as gentle as water.
Hearing the phone ring, Su Chenyi said to his sons, "Wait a minute, Dad will answer the phone before playing."
After saying that, he walked to the side and pressed the answer button.
In order to get more painting inspiration and receive painting commissions from different people, Su Chenyi left his phone number on his personal social account.
He would also answer unfamiliar phone calls, because the caller might have some ideas that would inspire him. If he received a sales call or something, he would just say a few polite words and hang up.
Of course, when I am creating in the room, I will update my status to say that I am painting and will not answer the phone.
Su Chenyi originally thought it was a sales pitch or a painting commission, and was thinking about how to decline it when he heard a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice: "Su Chenyi, it's me."
When Su Chenyi heard this, his heart was in turmoil for a moment.
But he quickly calmed down, turned around and looked at his sons not far away, and replied politely and distantly in his normal voice: "Well, Lu Xuan, why don't you call me when you have time?"
There was an eerie silence on the other end of the phone.
Su Chenyi frowned slightly and waited quietly, but he saw his sons drop the ball and run to him together, asking anxiously: "Dad, dad, it's mom's call, right? Did mom call you?"
The two little guys were extremely excited.

They haven’t seen their mother for a long time and miss her so much!
Su Chenyi didn't want to hide it from the children, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's Mom's call."
After that, he said to Lu Xuan, "The children are very excited. I'll turn on the PA. Can you say a few words to them?"
Lu Xuan: "Yeah, okay."
The speakerphone was turned on and Lu Xuan called out her sons' names: "Chaoyu, Chaoyang, it's Mom."
Su Chaoyu and Su Chaoyang were so excited that they kept shouting "Mom". The two brothers were afraid that the other would shout "Mom" louder and their mother wouldn't be able to hear them, so each shout was louder than the last.
The sound reached Mianmian's ears as she was twisting a rope to make the circuits inside a computer.
Mianmian looked up at her two great-nephews and found that they were talking on the phone, with envy in her eyes.
She wanted to call her mother and father, but she couldn't because her parents didn't have cell phones and there was no way to contact them.
Mianmian lowered her head, pursed her lips and encouraged herself: It’s almost there, it’s almost there. She glanced over and saw that the water in the small bottle had increased a little bit. As long as she kept working hard, it would be full one day!
Because she was a little envious, Mianmian didn't pay attention to what the twins were saying and continued to study how to fold a computer with paper.
The twins were just introducing Mianmian to their mother. They had just started to say that there was a great aunt younger than them at home when Lu Xuan said, "Chaoyu Chaoyang, mom wants to come to your house to see you. Is that okay?"
This sentence made the twins forget about introducing Mianmian, and they said in unison: "Okay, Mommy is going home!"
The two little ones were immersed in the joy of seeing their mother, and all they heard was what they wanted to hear, "Mom is coming to see you," but they didn't realize that what Lu Xuan deliberately said was "to your house."
These four simple words already represent Lu Xuan's true thoughts.
Su Chenyi is not a child, so of course he understands what Lu Xuan means.
He lowered his eyes, and suddenly couldn't remember why he married Lu Xuan in the first place.
However, when he heard Lu Xuan asking for his opinion on the phone and asked if he could visit the Su family, he agreed: "Well, come on, Chaoyu and Chaoyang miss you very much."
