Chapter 1346 Yao Yuling fainted and the peacock spread its tail
Returning to the courtyard, Wang Xin saw Egg King wandering in the courtyard and muttered unhappily: "Sooner or later I'll stew you."
Aunt Wu passed by: "Wang Xin, what are you muttering about here? Who do you want to eat?"
"No one, I just came back from get off work, I'm hungry, I just want to eat something."
"Looks like you're very hungry. Didn't you eat at work?"
"Eat, eat."
Zhou Chen walked past them, but was held back by Aunt Wu.
"Xiao Zhou, what I told you two days ago..."
Zhou Chen suddenly had a headache: "Aunt Wu, why are you bringing this up again?"
Aunt Wu said earnestly: "Xiao Zhou, you are not young anymore. You are the only child left in your old Zhou family. You have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of passing on the family line."
Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Aunt Wu, thank you for your concern, but I really haven't thought about a partner yet. How about you take a look at Wang Xin, he is also old, and introduce him to someone."
After diverting the trouble away, he ran away immediately. As expected, Aunt Wu set her sights on Wang Xin.
Wang Xin, who was standing nearby watching the excitement, became anxious when he saw that Zhou Chen actually changed the topic to himself.
"Aunt Wu, I have something else to do, so I'm going back first."
"Hey, Wang Xin, don't leave, I'm telling you..."
The aunts in the compound are all very nice, but the only thing about introducing partners everywhere is good-hearted, but Zhou Chen really can't bear it.
Zhou Chen made a simple dinner and went out for a walk after eating.
There are really too few entertainment activities these days. During these days at home, apart from playing chess with Lu Hongxing and the others, he also plays cards and occasionally goes fishing. There really are no more entertainment activities.
He was so idle that he was ready to find something to do to pass the time.
At night, Zhou Chen dragged his bicycle with a fifty- to sixty-centimeter piece of wood tied to the back seat, as well as several knives.
In order to find these knives and wood suitable for wood carving, he spent a long time shopping, because most of the shops are now state-owned. He bought this piece of wood from a furniture factory after visiting several stores, and the quality was still unsatisfactory.
, just use it reluctantly.
Although his wood carving level is already very high, reaching the master level, he still wants to continue to improve, just so he can build a few sets of furniture for his own home.
It's just that when a master wood carver makes furniture, it always feels a bit inconsistent.
As for knives, Zhou Chen doesn't have too many requirements, because with his strength, meticulous control and hands-on ability, even if they are not professional knives, he can still use them to a professional level.
Using a knife to carve wood can not only exercise wood carving skills, but also hone one's knife skills. This kind of force may not be used in modern urban society, but it can still be somewhat useful in the ancient world and even other worlds.
It can not only kill time, but also help yourself. It is better than hanging around all day long.
On the way back to the compound, suddenly a figure came into Zhou Chen's eyes, and the other party also saw him.
"Hey, it's you, Zhou Chen, what are you doing?"
Since Zhou Chen made it clear what she meant last time, Yao Yuling has not had much contact with Zhou Chen except for work and daily life. However, she met Zhou Chen at this time and saw the big piece of wood behind Zhou Chen's bicycle.
Still couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zhou Chen said: "If you don't have anything to do, buy some wood and knives, and prepare to go back to do some carpentry and carve something."
Yao Yuling looked surprised: "You can also do carpentry?"
"I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."
"I didn't realize that you are so versatile. You can even do carpentry."
"How versatile is being able to do carpentry? It's getting late. Are you going out to play?"
"Yeah, I went to see a movie."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived outside the compound. Suddenly, a person rushed out of the darkness and jumped in front of Zhou Chen and Yao Yuling, shocking Yao Yuling.
"Oh, oh my god, Niu Dali, do you want to scare me to death?"
The person who jumped out was Niu Dali. He ignored Yao Yuling's complaints and stared at Zhou Chen.
"Zhou Chen, why did you come back with Yao Er? Where were you all this late at night?"
Before Zhou Chen could answer, Yao Yuling shouted dissatisfied: "Where are we going to report to you?"
"No, I'm worried about you. Where did you go with Zhou Chen?"
"etc."
Zhou Chen interrupted Niu Dali: "Niu Dali, you misunderstood. Yao Yuling and I didn't go out together. We just met outside."
"That's it."
Niu Dali was doubtful, then looked at the wood on the back seat of Zhou Chen's car.
"Where did you get this big piece of wood?"
"I bought it. I'm very tired from holding it. I'm going back now. Let's talk."
Zhou Chen didn't want to get involved in the matter between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling. He had a good relationship with Niu Dali, but he knew very well how much Niu Dali had licked Yao Yuling. If he tried to persuade him, not only would it not be effective, but he might be betrayed by Niu Dali.
Strongly suspected of having ulterior motives.
There is no way, sometimes the thoughts of licking dogs are illogical, and any words that are kind to them can turn into persecution when heard by them.
So in order to prevent such a thing from happening, he didn't even think about trying to persuade Niu Dali.
You think people are licking dogs, but maybe they enjoy it?
You are not a fish, you know how happy the fish is.
As I pushed my bicycle away, I could still hear the conversation between Niu Dali and Yao Yuling behind me.
"I went to see a movie, and I happened to meet Zhou Chen..."
"Are there many people watching the movie?"
"There are too many, I..."
Licking the dog!
Zhou Chen sighed, Niu Dali was really too humble in front of Yao Yuling, but the more humble he is, the less good results he will get.
Because he was leaving the car in the afternoon, Zhou Chen got up in the morning and started carving the wood he bought yesterday.
Holding the knife and looking at the piece of wood in front of him, Zhou Chen thought for a long time and finally decided to carve a pair of phoenixes.
He didn't start immediately, but first drew a pair of phoenixes on paper. As a master painter, he was naturally familiar with mythical beasts like phoenixes, so he quickly drew them.
Looking at the portrait, Zhou Chen began to cut the wood. It was not an easy task to carve a phoenix on such a piece of wood.
A few hours passed in the morning, and he hadn't even finished one-tenth of it. He didn't speed up the work because he was not rushing the work. He was half playing and half sculpting.
Just after lunch and ready to continue carving, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian ran over.
"Zhou Chen, we don't have to go to work for a while. Let's go play cards for a while. The three of us, plus Dali, make us four."
After hearing this, Zhou Chen responded: "Okay, let's go."
The four of them set up a table in the courtyard, and then started playing cards, not playing with money, just casually.
But after just playing for a while, conflicts emerged, because Niu Dali's poker skills were so bad that even Zhou Chen was a little disgusted, not to mention Cai Xiaonian and Wang Xin.
After a while, Niu Dali was driven off, and Wu Changgui came up in his place, while Niu Dali stood behind and watched the battle with an indignant look on his face.
But soon, Niu Dali's attention was attracted by others.
I saw Yao Yuling walking out of Aunt Lu's house, wearing a pink coat.
"Aunt Lu, thank you so much. Look how it fits me and how good it is."
"As long as it fits you, just let me know when you need it."
Aunt Lu is Lu Hongxing's wife. She is a housewife who knows some needlework and occasionally makes clothes for others to earn some pocket money. In this compound, Yao Yuling is her biggest customer.
When several other women saw Yao Yuling's pink clothes, they couldn't help but praise her.
The vast majority of women in this era are conservative and family-oriented, and women like Yao Yuling are in the minority.
When others see her beauty, they may murmur a few words in private, but most of them will be envious and jealous. There are some women, even older women, who don't like themselves to be beautiful, but there are only a few.
