After what happened with Tang Jianming, Luo Zhen suddenly understood the matter of children.
Husband, wife and children are all fate and cannot be forced.
After coming to terms with it, my whole spirit relaxed. My naturally fair complexion seemed to glow after a few days of care, and my pointed face also gained some flesh.
Erhua has been learning rosewood carving from his father-in-law for almost five years. Since they got married, Tang Sannan always gave some work to Erhua to complete, and gradually he became famous.
Erhua received a big order half a month ago. A city dweller drove his car over specifically to place the order.
My daughter is getting married, so she ordered a complete set of mahogany beds, sofas, coffee tables and dressing tables.
The style in the city is different from that in the countryside. The ones in the countryside are still based on the old-fashioned step-out beds, but they are slightly simplified.
This style is out of date. City people think it is too tacky. They want to make beds with nothing on the four sides and only a headboard.
The main carving process was on the headboard. They brought the drawings and asked for auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes to be carved on it.
This trick is not difficult. Tang Sannan tried his best to recommend Erhua to them, but they came here just for Master Tang's craftsmanship.
However, Erhua was not in a hurry. He was polishing a mahogany wardrobe with exquisite hollow patterns on the doors.
"Hey, young master, did you carve this?"
The visitor's eyes lit up. Erhua was secretly delighted, but he didn't show it. He looked up, then lowered his head again and continued with what he was doing.
He replied woodenly, "Yes."
He seems like an honest craftsman who only knows how to concentrate on carving!
"This is my son-in-law Erhua. Take a look at his craftsmanship, okay?"
A few people gathered around to take a closer look, whispered a few words, and finally decided that Erhua would be the one to pick it up.
After they left, Erhua dropped the eating utensils in his hands and jumped around for a long time.
As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. Master Tang is well-known, and Master Liang is also gradually becoming famous.
But times have changed. With reform and opening up, people's minds have become more active.
One day, Erhua took Luo Zhen to the street on a bicycle. There were many people on the street, and several new shops had opened along the street.
One of the must-do activities when visiting the street is to have some dim sum. The Deaf Clam Bun Shop on the corner is a great place for two people to satisfy their cravings.
Luo Zhen likes sweet food, so Erhua orders osmanthus cake and crabapple cake. He likes salty food, so he orders tofu pudding and pan-fried steamed buns.
The street was bustling with noise, and children were chattering, laughing, and running from one end of the street to the other.
The old men who had nothing to do gathered in groups of three or four, sitting on the street to bask in the sun, drink tea and chat.
This is the flavor of life.
Luo Zhen seldom goes out. Although she looks pretty and delicate, speaks slowly and does things in an orderly manner, she loves the everyday life the most.
Erhua took her out on the street, but she didn't like fashionable clothes or exquisite and expensive jewelry. She just liked to sit on the back of a bicycle and wander around leisurely, eating this and that.
Whether it is candied haws or various pastries, what you taste is the flavor of the world.
Erhua was afraid that the sweetness would choke her throat, so he scooped a spoonful of salty tofu pudding from his bowl and brought it to her mouth.
Luo Zhen was busy with her mouth and couldn't take care of it. Erhua was not in a hurry either. He held the spoon and waited for her to eat slowly.
People here eat salty tofu pudding. They use a flat spoon to skim off a few thin layers of tofu pudding with soup and water, and then add salt, dried seaweed, dried shrimp, chopped green onions and soy sauce into the bowl. It tastes smooth and fresh.
While I was eating, I saw a noisy crowd outside heading east, as if there was something exciting to watch.
Erhua likes to watch the fun, he stretched his neck to look outside. Luo Zhen swallowed the crabapple cake and was about to go over to eat the tofu pudding, but he didn't hold the spoon firmly and spilled it on the table.
Luo Zhen laughed angrily, patted him lightly and said, "I'm full, take me out to see something."
Erhua came back to his senses and looked at the table, then at Luo Zhen, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Okay, okay, let's go and take a look."
It turned out that a new store had opened at the east end, and firecrackers were being set off at the door. Everyone had gathered in front of the store, making it impossible to get in or out.
"Make way, make way." Erhua found the gap and squeezed in, and actually got to the front.
Luo Zhen had difficulty with her legs, so she waited outside.
Erhua looked into the store carefully. There seemed to be a lot of tables and chairs inside, but there was nothing on them. He really couldn't tell what they were selling.
"Hey, what are they selling here?" he casually asked the uncle who was watching the fun next to him.
"You can't read? Isn't it written there?"
Erhua looked in the direction the man pointed and saw that there was a sign above with the word "furniture" written on it.
"The shop is open today, everyone come in and have a look. I've prepared some tea and snacks. It's okay if you don't buy anything, the main thing is to help me liven things up!"
The furniture store owner was a fat man wearing a fashionable suit. His hair was parted on the sides with no difference in hair color. I don't know how much hair oil he applied to it, but it looked shiny.
The boss was very enthusiastic, but the people around him looked at each other, hoping that someone would go in first so that they could follow.
Erhua waited for a while, but no one moved. He couldn't stand it any longer and thought: You are all a bunch of cowards. If you don't dare to go, I will go!
After thinking about it, he took the first step. The boss welcomed him in with a smile. Everyone followed him one after another. When there were fewer people, Luo Zhen also walked in slowly with a crutch.
The shop is not big, but there are a lot of furniture arranged in an orderly manner inside: beds, sofas, coffee tables, wardrobes, chests of drawers, etc., both old and new styles.
Erhua walked around again and again, and the people who came in after him had already left in waves. The boss was indeed a warm-hearted person. Seeing that Luo Zhen was not feeling well, he took the initiative to invite her to sit down and wait, and also brought her tea and snacks.
"Young Master, you've been looking very carefully. I'll find what you want to buy. We don't have a complete range of styles in this store. If you tell me, I can even order it for you."
Erhua touched his chin, thought for a moment, and asked, "Boss, do you have any mahogany furniture here? Preferably the kind with carvings."
The boss shook his head honestly and said, "Oh, young master, you are a man with good taste. To be honest, there are really no rosewood carvings, but..."
"Boss, let me tell you the truth. I'm not here to buy furniture. I make furniture. Have you heard of Tangli Village?"
When Erhua mentioned Tangli Village, the chubby boss's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Master, are you from Tangli Village?"
He nodded calmly, and the boss clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I'm planning to go to Tangli Village these days! The young master must know Master Tang Sannan, right?"
He asked the right person. Erhua had an indescribable excitement on his face. He glanced at Luo Zhen beside him, who was smiling at him gently.
Encouraged, he proudly said, "Tang Sannan is my father!"
"Dad? But I heard that Master Tang only has one daughter. Where did the son come from?"
The fat boss looked at Erhua with suspicion, wondering if he was here to extort money from him!
"Haha! Look, Master Tang's daughter is here. I'm his live-in son-in-law!"
It was the first time that the fat boss heard someone call the words "son-in-law" so loudly.
