Gu Yan replied to the guess: "Is it the author of the wood carving?"

"Um."

Gu Yan replied: "It seems that he and I have something in common?"

"You have a very similar personality, gentle and gentleman, neither fast nor slow, but you have your own persistence in your bones."

"Have he said anything else?"

Shi Sangluo said: "He also said that art is about being at will, and too much craftsmanship will destroy its artistic sense."

Gu Yan's eyes lit up: "I think so too! I once exhibited a piece of wood root that has not been carved at all. Many people said I was cheating, but in fact the shape and lines of the wood body were perfect enough. If you force it to carve it, it would be a waste of resources, but no one understood me at that time!"

Shi Sangluo said: "He understands you."

"Yes, I think I should have a lot to talk to him."

Shi Sangluo smiled, didn't say anything, turned his head to look out the window.

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Gu Yan replied: "You go to bed, I'll watch it. When I get there, I'll wake you up in advance."

She did not sleep well last night.

Because she had to leave H City for nearly ten days, she checked the next construction progress with Wang Wei and Su Yong, and was busy until very late.

I got up again this morning and took the first bus early, and only slept for less than five hours in one night.

"Then I'll bother you."

"Won't."

The bus started slowly, gradually drove out of the long-distance station and slid into the highway.

"Mr. Fu, do you want to keep up?" Xiao Chen asked.

Fu Chengyuan whispered: "You go back, I'll drive by myself."

...

The four-hour drive is actually not as long as you imagined.

Before she arrived at the station, Shi Sangluo received a call from her cousin, telling her that she was already at the station and was waiting to pick her up.

When I put away my phone, I heard Gu Yan ask, "Did you live at a relative's house when you go back this time?"

"Yeah," Shi Sangluo said: "Where are you?"

"I'll stay in a hotel, or a B&B a little closer to Yunxia Mountain."

Shi Sangluo nodded: "Oh, then... I wish you a happy field trip."

"Thanks."

The car slowly entered the station and stopped steadily.

The passengers in the front row had gradually gotten up to get their luggage and lined up to get off the bus.

Gu Yan sat outside, picked up the drawing board, and said goodbye to her: "See you at the exhibition in ten days."

Shi Sangluo was stunned for a moment, "Oh, OK."

"Of course, if you're busy that day, forget it."

Gu Yan always speaks so gently and calmly.

Shi Sangluo did not bring his luggage when he came back this time, but only had a bag with him. As soon as he got off the car, he heard his cousin's thick bass voice: "Sangluo!"

Shi Sangluo smiled and called someone: "Cousin."

"Oh, the last time you came back to Qiucheng was when you were in high school? In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed, and Sang Luo has grown into a big girl."

Next to her cousin was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a school uniform and thick black-framed glasses, and whispered to her: "Cousin."

"Oh, this is my son, your cousin, Xu Zheng."

"Hello, Xiao Zheng." Shi Sangluo took out a red envelope from his bag and handed it to him: "My cousin came back in a hurry and didn't have time to bring you a gift. I heard that you were studying well, so I treated these as scholarships for you."

My cousin repeatedly refused, "How can this work..."

Shi Sangluo smiled and said, "It's all my family, so don't be polite."

My cousin's family is very simple, and the children are well educated. This cousin is a bit introverted and doesn't like to talk, but he is very obedient and wants to help her carry her bag.

"Your mother..." Cousin sighed, "I heard that she was in poor health before, but I didn't expect she left so early."

"My mother was quite peaceful when she left. She missed my father for the rest of her life and finally wanted to reunite with him. She was actually happy."

The cousin focused: "Yes, your father passed away too suddenly. At that time, I was really worried that your mother would not be able to hold on. Fortunately, you are there, and she can't rest assured you, otherwise I'm really afraid that she will be unable to think about it..."

My cousin drove an old car that was a little old, and Xu Zheng went to help her open the door: "Cousin, get in the car."

"Thanks."

My cousin started the car and started slowly: "Sangluo, you don't pay attention to this in big cities, but in our hometown, you still have to do it for your mother. Don't worry, I've made arrangements and let Xu Zheng help you pick up the photos."

"Okay, then thank me for your hard work."

The custom in my hometown is that my son is responsible for holding photos and my daughter is mainly entertaining guests.

However, her mother had only one daughter, and she was unable to greet the guests alone, so she could only ask her cousin to hold the photos.

"Actually, if you get married, it is the most appropriate to let your son-in-law come. But aren't you busy with work and still not getting married yet? You can only let Xu Zheng come first."

"……Um."
