After listening to the grandfather's narration, Xia Mang felt that his grandson must be a very lovely person. "Grandpa, how old is your grandson?"
"My grandson is seventeen years old this year!"
Xia Mang: He is so old now and likes to carve small animals. He must be a very gentle boy!
"From the sound of your voice, Grandpa, you must like this grandson very much!"
"Yes, I like him very much. He has always been very good, and he is also very talented. He can almost infer from one thing that he has learned about carving. I only taught him wood carving, but that kid can carve jade!"
This surprised Xia Mang. From wood carving to jade carving, these don't seem to be the same thing. How can they have something in common?
"Yes, yes, that's it, turn your hands from here," the old man taught Lu Feng to stop carving the wood while chatting with Xia Mang who was carving in a mess, looking so leisurely.
"Grandpa, what's your last name? Why can't I always call you Grandpa? Grandpa!
"Me, my last name is Zhou!"
"Grandpa Zhou, have you been here all the time?"
"Why are you asking this, little girl?"
"I don't think I'm naturally gifted, so I can only make up for my shortcomings through hard work. So I'd like to come and ask for your advice often. Is that okay?"
Zhou Zhongguo looked at Xia Mang calmly. Xia Mang's eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of darkness. He was just an ordinary old man here, so how could she want to gain benefits from him!
And if he saw it correctly, although this little girl had black hair and black eyes, there was a hint of blue in the deepest part of her eyes. People with blue eyes only came from that aristocratic family in Britain, which meant that this little girl had the blood of that family, so there was even less for him to calculate.
"Okay, come whenever you want. I'll teach you more advanced carving techniques then!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou!"
"Come on, I'll just study hard when the time comes!"
"Boy, use force on your wrist. If you don't, the things you carved out will float to the surface!"
When Lu Fengting heard this, he started to exert force on his wrist!
"Not bad! He's a smart kid!"
"The little girl said she wanted to carve a cat, and you've only carved a few strokes!"
Xia Mang was a little embarrassed, "Well, I don't know how to do that!"
"No one can do it right from the start. Just carve out a rough shape and leave some room for maneuver. I'll teach you how to make it more beautiful later!" He squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. "Being a human being is like carving a piece of wood. You have to leave some room for maneuver and give yourself a way out!"
The three of them are together, one teaching and two learning, which is quite harmonious. The photographer next to them is also very responsible and attentively recording the intentions of the two!
Time passed by bit by bit, and the cat in Xia Mang's hand looked a little bit like...
Xia Mang was a little excited, "Grandpa Zhou, do you think my carving is good?"
“Not bad!”
"So what do we do next?"
"Bring it here and I'll teach you!"
…
Here, Xia Mang was carving a cat with Zhou Zhongguo, while Lu Fengting was carving a house very carefully over there.
Dusk falls and the new moon rises in the east.
"I'm so tired! I've only carved half of my cat!"
Lu Fengting frowned and looked at Chu Yue outside, "It's getting late, we should go back."
"It's really getting late, you two should go back!"
"But my cat..."
"You've already mastered the basic carving techniques and can carve on your own. As for you, kid, add me on WeChat and I'll teach you through video!"
Xia Mang exclaimed, "Wow, Grandpa Zhou, you're so cool!"
"Of course, I'm a grandfather of the new era!"
Xia Mang gave Grandpa Zhou a thumbs up, "Great, Grandpa Zhou!"
Zhou Zhongguo raised his beard and said with the arrogance of an old naughty boy, "That's it!"
After Xia Mang and Lu Feng finished packing and confirmed with the photographer the time to pick up the photos, the old man joked, "Do you two want me to give you a ride?"
"No need, we two won't be robbed!"
"Okay, go ahead, little girl, don't carve your cat into a tiger! When you're done, video chat with me. I need to check it out!"
"Don't worry! I won't carve it into a tiger!"
"Grandpa!"
The sound arrives before the person arrives!
Xia Mang: Why does this voice sound so familiar?
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!"
Fu Jing walked into the store quickly, but hesitated as he stepped through the door. "Why are you here?"
Why they were here wasn't important; what was important was why they were together! How could they have just come together to participate in a competition and then quickly become friends?
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered to participate.
"Why can't we be here? And Grandpa Zhou is your grandfather," Xia Mang looked at Fu Jing in disbelief, "Are you his grandson who can carve wood?"
That’s right, seventeen years old!
But it was not like what she imagined. It should be a little white rabbit. Why was it a thousand-year-old fox spirit, the kind with white skin and black skin?
"Why, I can't be a woodcarver?"
“Uh, hehe!”
Xia Mang: What can I say? Can I say that you ruined my imagination?
"Am I the one who feels sorry?" Fu Jing's originally gentle face turned a little cold!
"No, that's not true! I just heard that Grandpa Zhou has a grandson who can carve wood, but I didn't expect that I knew him, so I was a little surprised!"
Fu Jing looked at Xia Mang's uncomfortable expression and knew that he was definitely not what she expected, but so what!
