Chapter 599: They are all children
Old Madam Su nodded and said, "It seems something happened, so he stopped using the knife."
Su Laosan sighed.
It seems that if I want to buy some wood carvings, I have to find new channels. I don’t know if it will be too late...
Seeing his son frowning in thought, Old Man Su couldn't help but say, "How about... Dad go and find out tomorrow and see what the reason is..."
"Dad, what do you want to know?" Su Laosi lifted the door curtain and walked in.
Old Man Su glanced at Old Fourth Su and said, "Ask the old Tian family in Baicao Village, the woodcarver, why they retired..."
When Su Laosi heard this, he immediately said, "Dad, don't ask me anymore. I know this. The head of that family is called Tian Baozhu. In his early years, he was too obsessed with carving wood carvings, and his good life became increasingly poor..."
"Once, Tian Baozhu locked himself in his room and carved for a whole day and night. As a result, his pregnant wife tripped over the threshold and had a miscarriage..."
"...Although his wife's life was saved, she suffered injuries due to the late discovery and died a few years later. He felt extremely regretful and blamed himself, so he retired from surgery."
After Su Laosi finished speaking, Old Man Su and others understood the whole story.
"Dad, why are you asking this?" Su Laosi asked curiously.
Old Man Su glanced at Old Third Su, who was still frowning in thought.
"Your third brother wants to buy some wooden carvings and ship them overseas," said Old Man Su.
A look of surprise appeared on Su Laosi's face.
Then, it dawned on me.
"Third brother, is this kind of wood carving very popular overseas?" There was a hint of excitement in Su Laosi's tone.
This kind of thing is cheap, and wealthy families mostly display jade, porcelain and other things to show their wealth.
Small families are reluctant to spend too much money to buy such things.
Therefore, this kind of wood carving is really cheap.
If we could buy some of these things and ship them overseas, the profit would probably be greater than that of silk and other items.
Su Lao San nodded and said, "The price overseas is even higher than silk."
With just one sentence, Su Laosi's eyes lit up.
"Third brother, let's go to Lao Tian's house tomorrow." Su Lao Si said anxiously, "Since their family has inherited the craft from their ancestors, maybe there are some wood carvings at home from the early years..."
"I hope so." Su Lao San nodded.
No matter what, I have to go to Baicao Village.
Even if the old Tian family didn't have any ready-made wood carvings, they would try to persuade Old Man Tian to pick up the carving knife again...
Little Tangbao listened and blinked.
Why does she feel that the name Tian Baozhu sounds so familiar?
**
After breakfast the next day, the two brothers Su Lao San and Su Lao Si went to Baicao Village excitedly.
The swelling on Xiao Tangbao's hand had indeed subsided. After removing the white cloth many times, he immediately ran to see his little nephews.
Because the academy was on holiday, Xiao Tangbao was followed by a group of people.
Da Pan, Er Pan, Zhuang Zhuang, Si Wa, and Da Bai.
"Wow! How come it's so small?" Erpan exclaimed, "It's even smaller than the piglets Goudan caught!"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched.
This metaphor... is absolutely amazing.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Da Pan didn't want to hear it anymore.
This is his own brother.
"Goudan's piglets are already a month old, so they're naturally bigger than Liuwa and Qiwa." Dapan said seriously, "When their piglets were first born, they were definitely smaller than Liuwa and Qiwa. No matter what, Liuwa and Qiwa are definitely bigger than the newborn piglets!"
Da Pan's tone was full of affirmation.
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
My nephews, you have been studying for half a year, and this is your speaking level?
So down to earth!
"Big Brother, Second Brother, you are wrong." Zhuangzhuang said seriously, "How can you compare my sixth and seventh brothers with Piggy?"
Big hope, second hope, "..."
Isn't it normal for farmers to compare themselves like this?
There are several pigs in the village named "Black Pig", "Skin Pig" and "Piggy".
Zhuangzhuang seemed to see the confusion of his two brothers.
So, the explanation was: "This is disrespectful to my aunt and uncle!"
Little Tangbao was very upset.
It’s really better not to say this.
Big hope, second hope, "..."
They looked at each other, still confused.
Mrs. Su, “…”
I kind of understand.
I originally thought that my son and nephew were too young to speak, but it’s okay, I just thought it was funny.
Why do I feel a little uncomfortable after listening to the serious explanation of my third nephew?
Are you saying that she and the man are pigs?
Is that what you mean?
Xiao Tangbao looked at Zhuangzhuang's serious expression and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Zhuangzhuang, you've been in Daliushu Village for quite some time. When you have nothing to do, try getting in touch with the local customs." Xiao Tangbao patted Zhuangzhuang on the shoulder and said earnestly, "We country people like to use metaphors when we talk, but in fact, they don't have such profound meanings. So, don't interpret things based on your own understanding..."
Da Pan and Er Pan didn't mean that originally, but after you explained it that way, the two brothers fell into a trap.
Little Zhuangzhuang: “…”
The little face was full of confusion.
However, he still bowed respectfully and said, "Nephew thanks little aunt for your teachings."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
I feel that if I don't act like an elder, I will be unworthy of this gift from my nephew.
"Hmm." Little Tangbao put on airs and gave an unfathomable "hmm."
Mrs. Su watched from the side, smiling.
My sister-in-law looks so cute when she acts like a little adult.
Xiao Tangbao looked at Da Pan and Er Pan again, and continued to fulfill his duties as an elder to teach the younger generations.
"You two are already scholars. You should speak more elegantly in the future and not be so corny."
Xiao Tangbao said this and glanced at Zhuangzhuang.
Then he said, "You should learn this from Zhuangzhuang, understand?"
Although this third nephew is sometimes a bit old-fashioned, serious, and inflexible, he is self-disciplined and respects etiquette, and speaks with a scholarly air, which makes him very lovable.
Da Pan and Er Pan looked at each other, then bowed at the same time and said respectfully: "Nephew thanks little aunt for your teachings."
Little Tangbao suddenly felt that his nephews were no longer fun.
Just having one Zhuangzhuang is enough. If you all behave so well, how can I take you to have fun?
The fourth child blinked, looked at his three brothers, and called out "Dabai".
Then, he bowed to Little Tangbao and said, "Nephew thanks little aunt for her teachings."
Dabai stood up his two front paws, put them together, and made a bowing gesture.
“Ahhhhh——”
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
I kind of regret saying that.
However--
"Wow! Siwa doesn't stutter anymore!"
"Wow! Baymax is so smart!"
Da Pan and Er Pan spoke at the same time, their faces full of shock, no longer as calm as before.
The two of them, one looking at Siwa and the other looking at Dabai, seemed to have discovered a new world.
Zhuangzhuang also shed his pedantic look and looked at Dabai with sparkling eyes.
"Dabai is amazing!" Zhuangzhuang exclaimed in surprise, "I heard bears are stupid, but I didn't expect Dabai to be so smart. He's even smarter than the monkey jugglers in town!"
Xiao Tangbao felt relieved, as they were still just children.
