C33 Meeting of Old Friends

Meng Tianheng bought two dishes and two boxes of rice from outside, just in time to come back. "Let's eat. After eating, you should rest early. You will be busy again soon. "

Meng Tianheng's phone rang. He glanced at the number and cut off the call. He looked at Su Xinyue and said, "I have to go out for a few days. You'll have to work hard on the matters here. Fortunately, Uncle Hu will help you. Uncle Liu will be back soon. I will rush back as soon as I finish dealing with matters. "

"You have been here for so long, but you haven't gone back yet. It's been hard on you, go do your thing " Su Xin's words cut to the ground as she said.

After Meng Tianheng had dinner, he packed his belongings and prepared to leave. Su Xinyue sent him to the door. As she watched him leave, Meng Tianheng's tall figure gradually disappeared into the distance until he was nowhere to be seen.

Early in the morning, Uncle Hu sat on the truck and pulled wood over. A short, middle-aged man with tanned skin got off the truck. As soon as the man got off the truck, he said, "Old Hu, where is this place? I'm really sorry that I need you to accompany me personally. " The man grinned as he spoke. There was a hint of ridicule and respect in his expression.

"Kid, you must be itching for a beating. How dare you joke around with your Uncle Hu?" Uncle Hu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"I don't dare. Even if you lend me a few guts, I won't dare either. " The man laughed again. He said, His hands did not stop moving. He easily carried two bundles of wood. As he walked, he asked, "Uncle Hu, you go in front. Look at where the rack is appropriate. " Uncle Hu walked in front of the man and pointed to the right. "Follow me in this direction. " In the direction Uncle Hu pointed. It was a long corridor by the side of the main house. It was the best place to dry the bamboo bones.

Uncle Hu had already understood the layout of this place the last time he came. This time, before he came, he already knew how to carry out the design to ensure that the fan shop could proceed smoothly.

The side room was used to store raw materials. The wooden frames here were used to dry the fan bones. The main room was used to display the fan products inside and outside. Inside was the fan shop. The place was big enough. It could accommodate all the artisans required in the process of making the fan.

Old Gao and Little Hu also drove their motorcycles over in a short while. Without saying anything else, they went to tidy up the side room. They built a new stove in the kitchen. It was used to cook bamboo. In order to make things more convenient in the future, he tried to keep the few rooms closer to each other. Fortunately, the corridor was connected to the end. It was used to dry the fan bones so that the ventilation would not take up too much space. It was to make full use of the layout of the old residence.

Su Xinyue was very satisfied with Uncle Hu's arrangement. She did not need to worry at all. Su Xinyue prepared the tea and took care of him by the side. When the short man saw her, he smiled and said to her, "Just leave the water there. Don't worry about me. " Su Xinyue also smiled and replied, "I should take care of it by the side. "

The short man came over and poured a large cup of water. "You're welcome. He's not an outsider. Uncle Hu's matter is my matter. " He also came because of Uncle Hu. " Go and do your work. Leave this to me. " He did things very quickly. All the wood was moved down in an instant, and he drank a mouthful of water. He held the saw and started to dry it.

When he turned around, Uncle Hu brought Old Gao and Old Hu over to help.

"Xiao Yue, I asked Old Gao and Little Hu to clean up the house behind us. When they are busy, there is a temporary place to stay. It's in the room opposite the old man. " He planned to open the door of the messy room in the backyard and transform it into two guest rooms. When he got busy later on, it would be easier for him to stay.

"Uncle Hu, you are too considerate. I didn't even think of this. " Su Xinyue looked at Uncle Hu with admiration. "I didn't think of this. " She was a little shy and only cared about what was in front of her.

"Uncle Hu, you must tell me how much money you need. Otherwise, I will feel guilty. " Su Xinyue was afraid that Uncle Hu would give money and help again.

"You don't have to worry about it. They are all my old friends. If you raise money in front of them, you will be called a spendthrift. " Uncle Hu said happily.

"Then I will treat them to dinner tonight. " Su Xinyue suddenly felt a little guilty.

"There's no need for anything. If you're too deliberate, you'll appear to be an outsider. Go and do your thing. " Uncle Hu said as he brought Old Gao and Little Hu to the backyard.

Su Xinyue was waiting for Uncle Liu to come back from buying bamboo materials. She went to the public account and Weibo to read Meng Tianheng's essays. Every article was accompanied by beautiful pictures. The words were concise and precise, which was something she could not match up to.

The style of the Taobao shop was what she liked. It was fresh and elegant. Peach blossoms, red begonia, spring color. One look was enough to attract people. The Plum Deer Bamboo Bone Fan that she personally made seemed to have a classical charm after Meng Tianheng's hand-drawn. The fan that was embroidered with the Asiatic Apple Dia Wu was also hand-drawn on a few of the Asiatic Apple petals that were scattered on the ground. With just a few strokes, it created a beautiful scene. It caused all kinds of joy to arise in her heart, and at this moment, all of her hard work felt like it was worth it. As long as she could carry this fan industry inheritance that was originally not favored by others, To be able to account for the Su family's traditional cultural skills, that was her ultimate goal.

Su Xinyue wanted to go out and see Uncle Hu and the others, but Uncle Hu was nowhere to be seen this afternoon. With Uncle Hu's Zhang Luo, she didn't need to worry at all.

She could only do odd jobs at the side. She went to the corridor to fill up the water in the kettle. The short man buried his head in the work and did not even lift his eyelids. The knife in his hand dug up the wood, and layers of wood shavings poured down.

She went to the backyard again. Uncle Hu was talking with Old Gao and Little Hu. When he saw Su Xinyue coming over, Uncle Hu hurriedly said, "It will definitely end today. Remember to open the doors and windows for ventilation. "

"Okay, I got it. Uncle Hu, you are so good. You came to save me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I really don't know who to look for. Besides, I don't understand either. " Su Xinyue had a grateful expression.

"You don't have to say such things to me. Once this place is done, I will come often in the future. " Uncle Hu said.

As he spoke, Su Xinyue's phone rang. When she saw that it was her father, Su Yongan, calling, she hurriedly picked it up. "Dad, she said. You finally have time to think of me. " She deliberately said that over the phone. Her father replied on the phone, "Xiao Yue, how's the situation over there? I came to see you after work. Shun, take you to dinner. " "That's good, Uncle Hu can bring some people to help me renovate the old house. When Uncle Liu comes back, he can start making fans. It's good that you're here. Uncle Hu will definitely give you face. He doesn't want me to care about anything. He won't even be willing to eat a meal. "

When his father appeared at the old residence, Old Gao and Old Hu were just tidying up their tools. When the short man was preparing to pack up his tools, Su Xinyue asked Uncle Hu and found out that his name was Little Liu. When the short man heard that, he hurriedly explained, "Uncle Hu, I'm only a few years younger than you. Don't always call Xiao Liu Xiao Liu. " Uncle Hu was amused when he heard that. "When you get old, you'll still be Xiaoliu. " The short man had a helpless expression. In front of Uncle Hu, he could only admit defeat.

When his father and Uncle Hu saw each other, the two of them gave each other a hug. "How many years has it been since we last met? Are you alright?" A happy expression appeared on his father's face after a long separation. Uncle Hu turned his face away and said in a very soft voice, "Okay, I didn't expect to see you again. I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. "

"Let's go and find a place to have a meal together. We brothers can reminisce about old times. " His father pulled Uncle Hu along, and the two of them walked side by side towards the alley.

Su Xinyue accompanied Old Gao and the others as they walked behind. When she saw her father and Uncle Hu's backs, she suddenly felt her nose ache and felt like crying.
