Old Mrs. Su nodded and said: "It seems something happened, so I sealed the knife."
Su Laosan sighed.
It seems that if I want to buy some wood carvings, I have to look for new channels. I don’t know if it’s too late...
When Old Man Su saw his son frowning and thinking, he couldn't help but said: "How about... dad goes to inquire about it tomorrow and find out what the reason is..."
"Dad, what are you asking about?" Mr. Su lifted the curtain and walked in.
Old Man Su glanced at Old Fourth Su and said, "I asked the old Tian family who knew the wood carving craftsmanship in Baicao Village why they closed the knife..."
When Su Laosi heard this, he immediately said: "Dad, don't pry. I know this. The head of that family is named Tian Baozhu. In his early years, he was too obsessed with carving wood carvings, and he lived a good life and became poorer and poorer...
…”
"Once, Tian Baozhu locked himself in a room and carved for a day and a night. As a result, his wife had a pregnant belly, tripped over the threshold, and had a miscarriage..."
"...Although his wife's life was saved, she was found too late, injured her body, and died of illness within a few years. He regretted and blamed himself so much that he sealed the knife."
After Su Laosi finished speaking, Su Laotou and others all understood the cause and effect.
"Dad, why are you asking about this?" Su Laosi asked curiously.
Old Man Su glanced at Su Laosan, who was still frowning in thought.
"Your third brother wants to buy some wood carvings and ship them overseas." Old Man Su said.
A look of surprise appeared on Su Laosi's face.
Then, suddenly.
"Third brother, is this kind of wood carving very popular overseas?" Su Laosi said with a hint of excitement in his tone.
This kind of thing is cheap, and most wealthy families display jade, porcelain and other things to show their wealth.
Small families are reluctant to spend too much money to buy such things.
Therefore, this kind of wood carving is simply a bargain.
If we could buy some of this stuff and ship it overseas, the profit would probably be greater than silk and other items.
Su Laosan nodded and said: "The price overseas is higher than silk."
With just one sentence, Su Laosi's eyes lit up.
"Third brother, let's go to Lao Tian's house tomorrow." Su Laosi said eagerly: "Since their family's craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation, it is impossible to say that there are some wood carvings carved in the early years..."
"I hope so." Su Laosan nodded.
No matter what, I have to go to Baicao Village.
Even if Lao Tian’s family doesn’t have ready-made wood carvings, they still have to try to persuade Old Tian to pick up the carving knife again...
The little sugar baby listened and blinked.
Why does the name Tian Baozhu sound so familiar to her?
**
After breakfast the next day, brothers Su Laosan and Su Laosi happily went to Baicao Village.
The little sugar baby's hand was indeed swollen. After removing n rings of white cloth, he immediately ran to see his nephews.
Because he caught up with Xiumu in the academy, the little sugar baby was followed by a bunch of tails.
Dapan, Erpan, Zhuangzhuang, Siwa, plus Dabai.
"Wow! Why are you so small?" Erpan exclaimed, "It's smaller than the piglets caught by Goudan's family!"
Little sugar baby, "..."
The corners of his mouth twitched.
This metaphor...is really amazing.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Da Pan didn't like hearing it anymore.
This is his biological brother.
"The piggy of Goudan's family has been growing for a month, so it is naturally bigger than the six and seven babies." Da Pan said seriously: "When his piggy was just born, it was definitely bigger than the six and seven babies.
The baby is small, no matter how you say it, the baby is definitely bigger than the newborn piggy!"
Da Pan's tone was full of affirmation.
Little sugar baby, "..."
Nephews, you have been studying for more than half a year, but your speaking skills are at this level?
So down to earth!
"Big brother and second brother, what you said is wrong." Zhuangzhuang said with a serious face: "How can you compare the sixth and seventh brothers with Piggy?"
Big hope, second hope, "..."
Isn't it normal for bankers to compete like this?
There are several people in the village named "Black Pig", "Pig Pig", and "Piggy".
Zhuang Zhuang seemed to see the confusion of his two brothers.
So, he explained: "This is disrespectful to my aunt and uncle!"
The little sugar baby has black lines all over his head.
It's really better not to say this.
Big hope, second hope, "..."
They looked at each other, still not understanding.
Sister-in-law Su, "..."
I kind of understand.
I originally thought that my son and nephew couldn't talk, but it didn't matter, I just thought it was funny.
Why do you feel a little uncomfortable now after hearing this third nephew's serious explanation?
Does it mean that she and the man are pigs?
Is that what you mean?
The little sugar baby looked at Zhuang Zhuang's serious expression and suddenly felt a little worried.
"Zhuang Zhuang, you have been in Daliushu Village for a short time. When you have nothing to do, you should get in touch with the local customs." The little sugar baby patted Zhuang Zhuang's shoulder and said sincerely: "We are in the countryside.
Although people like to use metaphors when speaking, in fact, the meaning is not that deep, so you must not use your understanding to explain..."
Originally, Da Pan and Er Pan didn't mean that, but when you explained it like this, the two brothers fell into a trap.
Strong children, "..."
The little face was full of confusion.
However, he still bowed respectfully and said: "Nephew, thank you very much for your teaching."
Little sugar baby, "..."
I felt that if I didn't act like an elder, I would be sorry for my nephew's gift.
"Hmm." The little sugar baby held his position and hummed incomprehensibly.
Sister-in-law Su watched from the side, smiling with her lips pursed.
My sister-in-law looks so cute like a little adult.
The little sugar baby looked at Da Pan and Er Pan again, and continued to perform his duties as an elder and teach the younger generation.
"You two are already scholars. From now on, you should speak more politely and not be too vulgar."
When the little sugar baby said this, he glanced at Zhuangzhuang.
Then he said: "You have to learn from Zhuang Zhuang about this, do you know?"
Although this third nephew is sometimes a bit rigid, serious, and doesn't know how to adapt, he is still very cute because he is self-denial and returns to etiquette and speaks with a bookish tone.
Da Pan and Er Pan looked at each other, then bowed at the same time and said respectfully: "Nephew, thank you little aunt for your teaching."
The little sugar baby suddenly felt that his nephews were no longer fun.
Just one Zhuangzhuang is enough. You are all so well-behaved, so why am I leading you to have such crazy fun?
Siwa blinked, looked at her three brothers, and called out "Dabai."
Immediately, he also bowed to the little sugar baby and said, "My nephew, thank you for your teaching."
Dabai's two front paws stood up and rested together, making a bowing gesture.
"Ouch-ouch——"
Little sugar baby, "..."
I kind of regret saying that.
However--
"Wow! Si baby no longer stutters when he speaks!"
"Wow! Baymax is so smart!"
Da Pan and Er Pan spoke at the same time, their faces full of shock, no longer as calm as before.
One of the two looked at Siwa and the other looked at Dabai, as if they had discovered a new world.
Zhuang Zhuang also got rid of his little scholar look and looked at Dabai with his bright eyes.
"Dabai is so amazing!" Zhuang Zhuang exclaimed in surprise: "I heard that bears are stupid, but I didn't expect Dabai to be so intelligent and smarter than the monkeys playing tricks in the town!"
The little sugar baby is relieved, he is still a child after all.
