Rebirth at the starting point of happiness

After returning home, Su Qiuyue couldn't wait to prepare paper, pen and wood.

She had to finish it before her cousin left, otherwise there would be no skilled craftsmen to provide free labor.

Whatever Xu Hui draws once is as if he has memorized it in his mind. He draws it very quickly, including the meridians, very accurately.

After he finished drawing a picture of Su Qiuyue, he wrote a picture of an acupuncture point, which could also deepen his memory, killing two birds with one stone.

They drew three acupuncture point diagrams in total before stopping. Then while Su Qiuyue wrote the acupuncture points, Xu Hui took the wood and carved a little figure for her.

Xu Hui's work experience during this period and his talent for pattern lines have been demonstrated, so the human figures he carves now have special images.

The joints on the fingers and toes are very distinct. The face of Mr. Song's wooden man is flat, with the eyes, nose, mouth drawn with lines, and the ears are just an outline.

Xu Hui carved out the facial features, and asked Xu Kuan to sit there and act as a model, especially the little bird between the legs.

The child, who is almost six years old, already knows what is shameful and will not take off all her clothes in front of her brother no matter what.

Later, he agreed after being tempted by Su Qiuyue's preserved fruits. He kept his mouth shut with the delicious food and was absolutely not allowed to tell anyone about it.

While the two brothers were carving figurines in the house, the others would gather around the stove in the kitchen, roasting nuts, baking potatoes and sweet potato slices, and keeping watch.

"My eldest brother is so awesome. I saw that wooden man even has a belly button. I just don't know if he has an anus?" Xu Hua said seriously.

As soon as I finished speaking, my cousin slapped me on the back.

"You're just too quick to talk. You say everything! Aren't you ashamed at your age?" Xu Feng was really speechless with this sister.

She is so careless that after drying, it is bigger than a squash. She talks about everything without any shame.

"Isn't this happening in front of you? I won't tell anyone outside. Besides, you don't have to poop or fart.

"When my little brother was little, I also took his piss and wiped his poop, so what's the big deal?" Xu Hua didn't understand. We are all family, so why should we be ashamed?

Wouldn't he still be her brother when he was eighty? She had seen all his stuff when she was a child, and she didn't think it was a big deal.

"Shut up. You have no shame. If you say anything else I'll beat you up." Xu Feng could only scold in a low voice, this tiger boy.

Xu Hua pouted in dissatisfaction and made faces with his two sisters.

"Xiaohua is very sensible. She only says it in front of us and never says it in front of Xiaohui." Su Qiuyue spoke for her.

"Just spoil her. You dare to speak more than her." Xu Feng ignored them. At this time, they all breathed the same air.

It took Xu Hui more than a week to make the little wooden man. The little wooden man reached Su Qiuyue's shoulder.

After all, Xu Hui was already a young man of eighteen or nineteen. He was still embarrassed. When the sisters came in to see his work, he still took Su Xinyue's pants and put them on the little wooden man.

"Wow! Brother, you are so awesome."

"Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. Really like a human."

"Didn't Big Brother do what I did? Why don't you do it like me?"

Several children also thought it was amazing.

"Cousin, why don't you make two smaller ones. One as big as a pillow, and one a little smaller. Then we'll take the big one and you'll be able to make it after we've done it once.

Make two of the smallest one and give them to Master Song when the time comes. After all, we still need his guidance. "Su Qiuyue said.

Xu Hui nodded. He was embarrassed at first, but as he did it, he found something different.

This is different from drawing on paper. Even if the drawing on paper has several sides, they are all on one side.

There are many aspects to consider. Before you cut, you have to consider how it will look from other perspectives.

He also felt a lot of different things through this. With his cultural level, he couldn't express his feelings, but he really learned a lot.

So I made this little wooden man very carefully. When Su Qiuyue asked me to make a few more, I agreed immediately.

He also didn't figure out the meridians above because they were different on paper and on the figurine.

It would be safer to wait until you get guidance from Mr. Song before doing anything.

Su Qiuyue originally thought that this matter was a bit troublesome, but she didn't expect that her cousin was more concerned about it than she was.

Whenever she had time, she would do it in the west room of her house, and then use sandpaper to polish it smooth. In order to prevent them from getting bored in the west room, Su Qiuyue moved the radio to the west room. Xu Kuan liked to listen to it, so he always went to the west room to accompany his cousin.

Then, seeing that his brother was able to carve small figures, he pestered his brother to draw for him the swords and guns seen in the storytelling and then carve them out for him.

Xu Hui listened to storytelling while working. Without any patterns, he could only draw for his brother based on his own imagination and understanding.

While painting, he gradually realized that his cultural level was low and he couldn't understand some things, so he had to ask Su Qiuyue to explain them to him. This made him pay more attention to school.

Even his little brother was better than him. He could read the "Idiom Dictionary" fluently when he was less than six years old.

Su Qiuyue immediately saw the business opportunity.

"Cousin, these things can help you earn a living in the future." Su Qiuyue said, pointing at the patterns of swords, spears, and halberds he drew.

"Ah? These?" Xu Hui did this just to appease his younger siblings. According to his father, these were not doing their jobs properly. Can these make money?

“You can draw, and your drawings are pretty good, but your carving skills are not good enough. But it’s good enough to make these things.

You are going to study in Beijing, there are no shortage of rich people there. And don't underestimate those kids, one of them is enough for you to earn a living."

Su Qiuyue asked him to discuss the prices of these things and how to determine the prices according to size. Xu Hui was very excited, but a little bit unbelieving.

"Can this really be sold at a good price? Besides, isn't this speculation?" Xu Hui was afraid that he would not be able to go to school if he was not careful.

"You can sell it to a purchasing station. There are not many people who specialize in this. Besides, the students you go to school with should all have good family conditions. It will be nice to give one back to your children.

Let's make two in a couple of days and try to sell them in town. We definitely can't get a good price here. We have money to spend on food and other things, so we can't buy these.

Cousin, don't feel inferior. You went to school based on your real ability, and you make money based on your real ability. Let's be honest. No matter what others say, it's not shameful to earn a living with your own ability. "Su Qiuyue knew that she would be looked down upon if she talked about making money now. But what can you do without money to eat and drink?

So I don’t want my cousin to become pedantic after reading a few books.

"Besides, although this thing does not require any technical skills and can be made by anyone with a little patience, yours is much more delicate than theirs. There are also patterns and so on. If you can make a scabbard or something, wouldn't it look even better? It will definitely be able to be sold at a high price." Su Qiuyue said affirmatively.

Xu Hui also gained confidence. He had suffered a lot at home. When he was treating his mother, he deeply felt the powerlessness of having no money.

Therefore, he had no objection to being able to make money, but he was afraid that he would make mistakes because of making money, which would delay his schooling and work.

The things drawn on the paper are all things promised to his younger brother. After Su Qiuyue has finished making the little figure, he will make the toys for his younger brother.

There are no toys now, only playthings.

When Mr. Song saw the figurine made by Xu Hui, he was full of praise. Then he was even happier when he got the new figurine made for him. He quickly greeted his great-grandson, a little boy of eight or nine years old, and a younger girl.

"Well, although your grandfather and your father passed away a long time ago, they are open-minded. You can be considered to have inherited the family legacy.

I was confused in my early years, and I didn't pass on this skill to my sons. For various reasons, my grandchildren didn't even learn the basics.

I have come to terms with it over the past two years, and now I have two great-grandchildren who can inherit my legacy. Alas, if I had come to terms with it earlier, it wouldn't have been like this.

In the past, people had to abide by the rules and pass the throne to their sons only. How much time was wasted. "Mr. Song shook his head as he thought about the past. If the world had not changed drastically in his early years, he would probably have to abide by the rules until his death.

He regretted not passing on his legacy until the day he died. Now, raising his two great-grandsons well is the most important thing for him in his remaining days.

"Master Song, it's not too late to let it go. But based on my experience, I think you should quickly write down your experiences and family skills in detail. I was able to master them so quickly because my grandfather wrote them down early on, so I could keep learning.

Even so, the recipe for my ointment was not detailed enough, and it took me a lot of time and experimentation to figure it out successfully. "

Su Qiuyue talked about the problems she encountered in her studies and some details that her grandfather did not record, which made her waste a lot of time and things.

After hearing this, Old Master Song nodded repeatedly. It was true. He kept everything in his stomach. If something unexpected happened one day, he would not have the chance to pour it out.

Just like Su Qiuyue said, some of the older generations wrote things down, but they were afraid that others would learn them secretly, so they kept some things hidden. The younger generations have to learn and pass them on orally. The advantage of this is that others will not learn from them secretly, but the disadvantage is that they are easily lost.

"Yes, I must write it down quickly. I have only a few years left to live, and the children's days are still ahead of me.

With my experience, I believe I am much better than others. "Mr. Song decided to put this matter on the agenda, so that the children can follow up and sort it out, just like Su Qiuyue's grandfather, memorize it first, and study it slowly when they grow up.

Then he guided Su Qiuyue to identify the acupuncture points, and Xu Hui continued to depict the meridians and acupuncture points.

After returning home, Xu Hui finished carving several other figurines. Su Qiuyue hid the figurines in the west room, except when she took them out for practice. She usually hid them in the stacked baskets.

This naked little wooden man and that lifelike little penis should never appear in front of people.

He was afraid of being scolded by his cousin for making toys at home, so after finishing the housework every day, Xu Hui would bring his younger brother and sister-in-law, who were holding wood and drawings, to Su Qiuyue's house for some quiet time.

Make toys for them while chatting.

Su Xinyue didn't have any toys, so Su Qiuyue asked her cousin to research some other toys.

Xu Hui became interested because he had read many books before, which introduced toys like the Luban Lock.

Xu Hui planned to make it for them, but his skills were really not good enough, so he could only ask his cousin for help.

Originally, my cousin didn't want to do it, because it was too trivial and he thought it was a waste of time. But now it's the New Year, and there's nothing important to do. And since Xinyue asked for it, I had to do it for them.

Su Qiuyue asked her cousin to do the grinding and sawing in the west room of her house. She heated up the room and found it interesting to do the work while listening to the radio.

While Xu Hui was learning from his father, he was sharpening his own knives and swords. He also made some wooden cars, tanks, pistols, etc. according to what Su Qiuyue said.

The cousin would not look at simple things, but he was very interested in the swords with carvings made by his son. He taught Xu Hui how to carve, which is also used when carving furniture.

I also helped make things like scabbards and knife sheaths.

My eldest cousin is very skillful. She used strips of cloth at home to sew together a cloth belt that can be put on the body and the sword can be inserted into it for carrying.

I have got the needles for making wool felt. I made several small balls with the wool at home, then sewed them together and hung them on the handle. It was quite fun.

My eldest cousin has been learning how to make wool felt recently. It’s easy to learn but it requires a lot of effort.

Su Qiuyue asked her to practice with the leftover wool at home, making small things at first, and then she could make bigger ones after she became more familiar with them.

So I have become very skilled at making this little ball.

"Qiuyue, do you think these can be sold?" The cousin has been practicing recently, following Su Qiuyue's instructions, small flowers, small animals. They are all white, not colored yet. They will definitely look good after they are colored.

Every day, several children would take out the felt toys she made and play with them, especially Xu Kuan, who would even make up stories with them.

She became more and more adept at it.

"Sister, it's not possible now, but maybe in the future. Who has the spare money to buy these?" They can really be sold for money in a few years, but it's not possible now.

"Yeah, so many people don't have enough food to eat. This is really my case." The eldest cousin also knew about it.

"It's okay. I know how to do it now. I can sell it for money sooner or later." Xu Feng said gritting his teeth.

Su Qiuyue couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

"Sister, before the New Year, I will take the things made by your cousin and you to the town and find someone to see if I can sell them for a good price. We can't afford these things, but who can afford them? It's best to give them as gifts, especially to those who have children at home." Su Qiuyue said.

"Really? Can it really be sold for money?" Xu Hui couldn't believe it.

"We have to give it a try if we can. There are always children in every family, rich or poor," said Su Qiuyue.

"Yes, this thing is for entertaining children. By the way, the small ones have to be colored to look good." Xu Feng and Su Qiuyue said.

"This is easy." Su Qiuyue found some cinnabar and sulfur in the medicine box and ground them into powder with a pestle.

Then gently use a dry brush to apply a little on the felt toy. After a while, the originally one-colored little white rabbit has a red face.

"Why don't you get red eyes?" Xu Feng asked.

"Red eyes are so scary, let's have black eyes. Such a little red face is so cute." Su Qiuyue used another brush, dipped a little ink and colored all the eyes.

Xu Feng nodded, and it was true that she looked very cute with her cheeks painted red.

The two people used brushes to color the felt toys in three colors: black, red and yellow.

After it was done, it was placed on the kang table to dry, and several children gathered around to watch with curiosity.

"Sister, can you give this to me?" Xinyue really liked the little white rabbit and didn't want to sell it, so she begged Xu Feng to give it to her.

"Okay, there are so many, I'll give you one." Xu Feng was happy to see that she liked him. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to have other people like what he made?

"I want one too, sis."

"Big sister, I want this!"

"Big sister, big sister!"

Xu Hua and the others also pointed at the toys they liked and begged Xu Feng, who generously gave them all. Only one per person.
