Landlord's hot day

Chapter 61 Crying in the middle of the night

Busy days are always full and fast. In a blink of an eye, the fish learned the shadow sculpture from the lame mother-in-law for more than a month. This one's hard work has benefited the fish a lot and slowly touched the road.

Because the fish learned painting in his previous life and had this foundation to make the first stage of learning the stunt of shadow carving, he not only did not fail at all, but also quickly learned to do it. In just over a month, the fish can write a manuscript on the slate faster than half the time before.

While the fish slowly explored and progressed, the lame mother-in-law has also slowly carved the fish's portrait painting. This day happened to be carved to the final stage. In order to close the tail and wake up early in the morning and can't even eat breakfast, the lame mother-in-law picked up the zi and dedicated to carving. I haven't stopped carving until the fish came to deliver breakfast.

Yu'er knew that her portrait and painting would be completed today, so she was very excited and excited on the way here, but Yu'er knew that even if she was in a hurry to see the final product, she could not let the elderly lame mother-in-law work too hard.

Therefore, as soon as the fish saw the lame mother-in-law, she finished it early in the morning and immediately persuaded her very considerately: "Master, please take a sip of porridge first and finish it before you finish it!"

The lame mother-in-law could hear the fish's words clearly, but she didn't even raise her eyelids and stared at the picture in her hand. The movements in her hand were not stagnated at all, as if she had made up her mind to ignore the fish...

The fish did not dare to disturb again when she saw the situation. She also held her breath and looked at the lame mother-in-law carving on the picture and saw her carving the picture more perfectly. The master and apprentice looked at the picture quietly until about a cup of tea, the lame mother-in-law was fierce. However, he put down his hand, and at the same time, he breathed a long sigh of relief and a proud look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, the fish knew that the picture was almost finished, but she did not immediately hold the picture and appreciate it. Instead, she carefully twisted a handkerchief for the lame mother-in-law. After the lame mother-law took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, the fish looked at the two-month-old and lame mother-law with a worshipful face. Pictures carved with painstaking efforts...

"Master, you are so similar! Although the person in this painting has no color, it looks like it is printed from the same mold as me..."

Yuer said and stepped back a few steps. After looking at the picture from afar, she said firmly, "No, I think she is more like my twin sister, because I seem to see her opening her mouth and smiling sweetly at me. She seems to be alive and becoming another living person."

"Silly child, no matter how much you look like her, it's just your shadow," the lame mother-in-law looked at the fish with a smile and asked softly, "Do you like it? Do you like the painting that the master carved for you?

"I like it!" Thousands of words were turned into two decisive words by Yuer. She knew that these two words were the most wanted answer for the lame mother-in-law.

Sure enough, the lame mother-in-law loosened her expression when she heard the fish's words and said, "You feel very satisfied that you like the master. The master hasn't carved pictures for many years. Fortunately, the ability in those years has not been completely abandoned. Otherwise, if the carved person doesn't look like you, then the master will have no face. Continue to teach you."

"Master, you love talking nonsense! No matter how much you have left in those years, the fish will follow you. Don't play tricks and teach the fish!"

First, the fish acted coquettishly at the lame-in-law, and then held the picture painting that made the lame-law painstaking efforts in her hand, constantly rubbing it with her hand and looking at it over and over again. At present, the painting is really held by the fish, but she still can't believe such a precious art. The magic product actually belongs to her...

The excitement and joy of getting the picture and painting lasted on the fish all day. At noon, when Liu came to deliver lunch, the fish had already pulled her to show off. However, when the sun went to the west in the afternoon, the fish could not wait to pick up the baby picture and painting, hurriedly said goodbye to the lame mother-in-law and flew home. He ran away and wanted to run home immediately to show off his baby.

When the fish returned home, he naturally proudly took out the perfect shadow sculpture portrait and showed it in front of several brothers. The lifelike picture made the fish's brothers envious. Yang Silang, the youngest, pulled the fish and asked with a smile: " Sister, can you ask your master to carve a picture for the fourth brother? The fourth brother also wants to have such a picture, and he can always retain the current romantic appearance of the fourth brother..."

Hearing this, Yuer immediately grabbed the relief that was held in Yang Silang's hand and said anxiously, "My master has spent a lot of effort in carving this one. If you carve a few more pieces, you will definitely not be able to stand it. Fourth Brother, don't want to hit my master!"

In fact, Yang Silang and the lame mother-in-law are not very familiar with each other, so he doesn't really want to find a lame mother-in-law to carve a picture for himself. He said that he just wanted to take the opportunity to let the fish do it, so as soon as the fish refused for the lame mother-in-law, Yang Silang hurriedly said, "Since you don't let me bother your master, you can carve it yourself. Give it to the fourth brother. The fourth brother also likes your own carving!"

Seeing that Yang Silang said the sculpture so easily, Yuer stared at him angrily: "Do you think this picture can be carved?"

"Isn't it? Sister, you have also studied with your master for more than two months. Now you must be able to carve one or two pieces, right? Yang Silang came to the fish with a smile and put it on her shoulder and said, "Don't be so stingy!" At least the fourth brother is the brother who loves you the most. You can just carve one for the fourth brother. The fourth brother really wants to have a portrait of himself..."

Yang Silang's sentence "my brother loves you the most" and let Yang Dalang beside him give him a surprise. Yang Dalang, who was pestering the fish for a picture, said to the fish very understandingly, "Sister, don't care about the four boys, just study hard by yourself. You don't have to rush to learn to paint portraits for everyone. ."

"The fish has its own proportion, and the eldest brother doesn't need to worry," the fish smiled sweetly at Yang Dalang, and then turned to Yang Silang and said, "It's not impossible for the fourth brother to want his sister to help carve a portrait, but he has to wait for the fish to become a teacher. At present, the fish is not as good as the master."

As soon as Yang Silang heard this, he immediately looked depressed, but he quickly recovered and chased the fish and asked, "Sister, how long will it take you to become a teacher?" It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to mention the fourth brother, how long will the fourth brother wait for you!"

Yu'er asked Yang Silang with a smile: "The fourth brother is really willing to wait for Yu'er to come out?"

Seeing Yang Silang nodded vigorously, the fish slowly moved to the cabin and said slowly, "Then the fourth brother has been waiting for ten or eight years. The master said that the fish will take at least six years to play basic skills. In these six years, he has to finish the basic skills and must not learn another two or three years?"

"Fourth brother, you have to wait, but don't worry - before you marry your daughter-in-law, the fish will try to carve a picture for you so that your future daughter-in-in-law can have a look! Hee..."

The first half of the fish said it was normal, but the second half suddenly turned around and made fun of Yang Silang. As soon as he finished the joke, the fish jumped into the cabin without waiting for Yang Silang to react, and then took the lame mother-in-law's carved pictures for her to Yang Dazhu and his wife.

Although Yang Dazhu and his wife are illiterate, as soon as they understand the preciousness of the shadow sculpture, they feel that the painting is very similar to the fish. Naturally, they also regard the rare picture as a treasure. After carefully appreciated it, Liu exaggeratedly put the shadow statue into the bottom of the box like a baby, and said that he would Let's count this baby in the fish's dowry...

Liu's words made Yuer feel unable to laugh and cry and said, "Mom, as long as the fish learns well from the master, will our family still lack pictures in the future? Do you hide the pictures and paintings carved by the master for me as treasures? And he also said that he would put it in my dowry in the future..."

"That's different. You can't carve all your master's skills in the future, can you? Even if you can really carve yourself in front of the bronze mirror, you must not be as vivid as others. How can you catch your own charm?

Although Liu's words are straightforward, there is also a truth, just like painters never draw themselves and only others, and most painters are good at capturing other people's charms, but can't capture their own. Yuer believes that even if he learns the unique skill of shadow carving in the future, even if he really carves portraits for himself, he must not be as good as his lame mother-in-law...

So the fish no longer pestered about this matter, but changed the topic: "Mom is right. When the fish becomes a teacher, we will definitely carve a portrait for everyone in our family, so that everyone can collect it and have a thought when they are old. At that time, we can still take it out for our children and grandchildren and point to point to the people in the picture. Say to them - Look, the ancestors looked no worse than you when they were young!"

Yuer's words made Yang Dazhu laugh and said, "That's good. Dad is just waiting for your sister to become a teacher!" In the future, Dad will take the pictures and paintings of our sister and let her children and grandchildren see..."

"Dad, you make fun of the fish again!"

As soon as the fish turned to Yang Dazhu, she twisted her body and got into his arms. After being in Yang Dazhu's arms for a while, the fish poked out her little head and said, "Dad and mother, when the fish learns the master's ability seven or eight points, she can carve some less complicated shadow carvings and sell it!"

"Although the fish can't carve out good pictures and paintings with only seven or eight skills, the fish guesses that the second-class shadow sculpture is cheaper and should still be able to sell. After all, not everyone can afford that luxury peerless boutique, right?"

When the fish said this, there was a strange brilliance in her eyes. She clenched her little fist tightly and said firmly: "As long as the fish's pictures can be sold, then father and mother don't have to work so hard every day. Brothers, whether they are reading or going to You don't have to worry about the travel expenses in Beijing!"

Yang Dazhu smiled and echoed, "So, we fish will have a great ability to make money in the future!" It's time to praise it!"

What the fish said is very powerful, which makes Yang Dazhu and his wife can't help but look forward to a bright future - if it is really as the fish said, the Yang family's family can really be greatly improved. Although this is a wish that can only be realized in at least five or six years, people have lived too many hardships, no Can't help looking forward to a better future?

As soon as Liu thought like this, he felt that no matter how hard he was, it was worth it. When he fell in love, he couldn't help holding the fish from Yang Dazhu and hugged him in his arms and said, "Our sister is really a lucky star of our family. Among other things, she just brought so much laughter to our family. This is God has given us the greatest blessing to the Yang family..."

At this time, Yang Silang, who was teased by the fish, also got into the cabin with his waist. As soon as he heard Liu's words, he answered, "My mother is right. My sister is the lucky star of our family!" What's more, it's our family's gifting children, sister, we can count on you to learn the stunt of shadow sculpture and let us live a good life in the future..."

Yang Silang said that he deliberately pretended to be worshipped, which made Yang Dazhu and his wife laugh. The fish stared at him angrily and said angrily, "Fourth brother, you are a man. It's okay if you don't raise your father, mother and fish in the future. Do you still want to let the fish raise it? Humph, if you really dare to do this, I will beg my mother to drive you into the sea with a big broom to feed the fish!"

"Ouch, father and mother, you can't be biased this time! Did you all hear it just now? Our sister hasn't earned a lot of money yet, but she wants to bully her brother!"

After saying that, Yang Silang made a pitiful look of being bullied, and Liu, who was "judged" by him, did not speak. Then Yang Dalang, who came in, gave Yang Silang a shudually and scolded, "I think it's you who bullied our sister. How can we bully you?"

Yang Dalang's obviously favoritism words made Yang Silang jump up on the spot. While avoiding Yang Dalang's hand, he confided his grievances indignantly. Of course, Yang Silang's confiding was regarded as a sophism by Yang Dalang, so Yang Dalang naturally wanted to continue to chase Yang Silang, so the two and a half-year-year-old boy were in the narrow Swirling around in the cabin...

The play of the two sons made Yang Dazhu and his wife subconsciously bend their mouths. The fish held in Liu's arms saw Yang Silang being beaten and covered his mouth and were happy. Although Yang Silang's nagging made the small cabin look a little noisy, the lively scene of the family getting together to play was also happy. Another realm that makes fish enjoy it very much...

I saw the fish leaning lazily in Liu's arms. After looking at Yang Dalang and Yang Silang, who were fighting for a while, they looked away and turned to enjoy the scenery of the sea through the small boat window...

There is a bright moon reflected on the dark sea. The sea breeze with a faint fishy smell drilled through the small window and gently brushed the pink face of the fish. It felt like a branch of willow buds constantly scratching the fish's little face, making the fish's face and heart itchy, but all But there is an indescribable sense of comfort...

This comfort slowly closed the fish's eyes and planned to sleep slowly in Liu's arms, but the fish only squinted and took a nap for a while, and was surprised by a miserable cry. The miserable cry crossed the originally quiet night sky like a sudden flash of lightning, and completely tore up the happy picture in the cabin of the small boat...

The first person who felt something was wrong was Liu. As soon as she heard the miserable cry, she suddenly straightened up and pulled Yang Dazhu and asked, "The head of the family, there seems to be someone crying on the shore. Can you hear it?"

Yang Dazhu's face slowly became solemn because of Liu's questioning tone. He looked at Liu and then replied, "I heard it too."

"You..."

Liu paused and then continued to say, "Do you think that crying sounded like... Qi Niang's crying?"

"I'm afraid you heard it wrong? Qi Niang is doing well in the Wang family. How can she run to the shore and cry in the middle of the night? Although Yang Dazhu said these words to ease Liu's heart, the look on his face had betrayed him and let Liu know that Yang Dazhu actually had the same doubts as her.

If Liu felt this way, Liu might think that she missed Yang Qiniang, so she heard it wrong, but now even Yang Dazhu has this feeling. Then Liu immediately put down the fish and rushed out desperately. There is only one thought in her heart - whether Yang Qiniang is standing on the shore, she wants to Go and have a look in person!

"Dalang and Silang take their sister on the boat. It's dark outside. You brothers and sisters can't follow. Just go down and have a look with your mother!" As soon as Yang Dazhu finished explaining, he hurriedly chased Liu. Soon, the sound of a bamboo raft came from the bow, followed by the sound of bamboo pole supporting the water.

The fish, who was awakened by Liu, asked Yang Dalang beside him and knew the reason why Liu and Yang Dazhu suddenly rushed out. The reason made the fish suddenly feel blocked. She leaned her head against the boat window to breathe and prayed silently in her heart - hoping that this was just a false alarm. The person crying on the shore must not be Yang Qi Niang.

But God seemed to deliberately miss the fish's prayers, which still made the three people on the boat most worried about--Liu and Yang Dazhu just got off the boat and returned to the ship soon. They also came back with Yang Qiniang, who was injured and bright red.

Yuer remembers that Yang Qiniang only returned to Yang's house about half a month ago. At that time, her face was ruddy and her body looked a little fatter than before. No matter how she looked, she was a healthy and beautiful little woman...

But why haven't Yang Qiniang been injured for more than half a month? Do you still run home in the middle of the night and cry?
