Chapter 474 Wood Carving
After Yi Chi's affairs were resolved, it was time to go to school with Jiang Yu to take the final exams.
Xue Li temporarily suspended her business because it became difficult to go out after the management of the brigade was on track. In addition, the hot weather made the roasted nuts business in the city not so good, while the local roasted nuts were cheap. She didn't want to continue to struggle for that little profit, so after she suggested the idea of selling popsicles to the two brothers she was cooperating with, she began her life as a stay-at-home.
The herbs in Wu Aiqing's medicinal field have grown a little. He goes out into the mountains early every day and comes back in the evening when the temperature drops. Occasionally he goes to the commune purchasing station and quietly accumulates capital.
Although Chen Jinghan was still doing the work assigned to him, he had his family send him a bunch of big books some time ago, all of which were law-related books. Jiang Yu borrowed them to take a look when he had nothing to do.
Xiong Lijin was the worst off. Due to his poor health, Fu Biao forced him to do weight training. Every day at dawn, he had to tie a sandbag to his body and go out for a run.
Every time the villagers see them, they always murmur a few words, saying that they have so much energy, why don’t they go out to farm, they are just a bunch of useless people who just eat and do nothing.
Once when he was complaining at work, Zhao Chunjiang and his men took the opportunity to start another fight.
The construction team is getting busier day by day.
The militiamen who often broke up fights didn't understand at first why the educated youth had to grab the villagers to fight. But after the retired veterans told them that practicing wrestling would help improve their fighting effectiveness, these young militiamen understood!
No wonder the educated youths were always looking for trouble; they were improving their fighting skills in order to be able to compete with the villagers!
The gossipy women in the team were frightened by the educated youth's frequent group fights, and now they dare not easily make trouble in public.
The wheat seedlings in the field are heading and turning yellow.
Yi Chi said to Jiang Yu, "I'm going to City B."
Jiang Yu was not surprised. The trouble on his side had been solved, so it was time to repay the favor.
"Prepare some gifts. They don't have to be expensive. As long as the thought is there, that's enough." Jiang Yu was carving the fifth wooden mermaid. She was going to put together a group to make a decorative piece.
"I plan to bring two ginsengs to the two old people, and then make some simple local specialties." After the case was settled, there was nothing particularly valuable among the things returned by the police station. Except for the beam that was worth a thousand gold coins, the others looked ordinary, and most of them were old things that had been used for many years. He couldn't give those things away,
As for the ginseng, he bought it from Wu Aiqing. The ginseng he had were all aged and priceless. Unless he wanted to invite a wolf into the house, he wouldn't dare to take it out now.
"Almost. By the way, I'll get you something. You're going to meet a big leader, maybe I can help." Jiang Yu suddenly remembered the small notebook she had taken from the home of the leader of the human trafficking team before going to the countryside. She didn't know the value and significance of antiques before, so she had long forgotten about the small notebook. But during her last trip to S City, she finally realized how great a loss it would be to our country if those treasures fell into the hands of foreigners, so she dug out the small notebook again and waited for the opportunity.
Yi Chi watched her enter the room, and after waiting for a moment, he saw her come out holding a small black leather notebook.
"I got this thing by accident. It's probably related to antiques. I got it from a small leader of a landfill. They probably use places like recycling stations and landfills to get antiques? Things obtained through this channel are generally not very valuable, but ordinary jewelry and antiques should not be used by that group of people for profit. They can be handed over to the country, right?" Jiang Yu said it with great righteousness, as if the person who hid the treasure in the space was not her.
Yi Chi glanced at Jiang Yu with a teasing look, "What you said makes sense."
Jiang Yu rolled his eyes at him, then sat down, covered his legs with the coarse cloth again, and continued to work.
"Come to think of it, is there something you haven't given me?" Yi Chi looked at her skilled posture and kindly reminded her while supporting his chin.
Jiang Yu was carving a mermaid's tail. The scales on it were small and required great concentration. After she finished, she looked up at Yi Chi in confusion.
Yi Chi pointed at himself with his other hand.
What? Jiang Yu frowned slightly, not understanding.
Yi Chi pointed at the wood carving in her hand again.
"Wood carving?" Jiang Yu frowned at first, then suddenly realized, "Wait a minute!" She uncovered the coarse cloth, got up and went into the house again.
After a while, she came out with a large pine box and handed it to Yi Chi.
At first glance, the pine wood box looked like a whole piece of wood, but Yi Chi had seen many objects with mortise and tenon structures, so he quickly opened the lid, revealing a pair of wood carvings inside.
It is a wooden sculpture of him and Jiang Yu.
The surface is oily and smooth, and the facial features are lively and vivid.
Yi Chi's fingertips brushed across the faces of the two dolls, and an exceptionally gentle smile bloomed on his face, "It's really well carved."
"Actually, I can do better now, but this is my first pair of portraits. I think its significance is far more important than being exquisite and beautiful. Do you like it?" Jiang Yu stood beside him, bent down slightly, and when he looked at him sideways, he just caught a glimpse of the smile on his face, and his heart softened.
"I like it. This is the best. Jiang Yu, thank you." Yi Chi did not take out the wood carving. He put the lid back on and held the wooden box in his arms, as if he was holding some precious treasure, feeling extremely satisfied.
Jiang Yu also laughed, "As long as you like it."
The next day, Yi Chi went to the commune to buy a train ticket.
Jiang Yu handed him several aluminum lunch boxes and said, "Pack some food for your trip. Oh, and buy some eggs. Boiled eggs can be kept for two days. You can eat them on the road."
Yi Chi let out a sigh and rode Jiang Yu's bicycle out of the gate of the educated youth team.
The villagers he met on the road saw him passing by and just ignored him in silence.
He walked forward from the fields of the construction brigade, passed the wasteland, passed the stream, came to the next brigade, and then continued forward.
Because he was not a cadre and had no certificate of official business, Yi Chi could only buy a seat ticket to City B. He suddenly felt fortunate that he did not persuade Jiang Yu to accompany him, otherwise he would have to drag her to suffer with him, and he really couldn't bear to let her go.
The train ticket was for 9:19 am two days later. Yi Chi put the ticket and change in his pocket, then pushed his bicycle out to the state-owned hotel.
After packing the stir-fried dishes, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative again. In addition to eggs, he also brought a piece of pork for Jiang Yu. He was thinking whether he should raise a few chickens so that it would be much more convenient for Jiang Yu to eat eggs on a daily basis.
