"No need to carve, it's better to be simpler."

"Okay, come with me with stone."

The ruler is also known as the paperweight. The ruler is something that is pressed on the paper when writing calligraphy.

Generally speaking, it is mostly made of wooden structures, but some are also made of jade structures.

Zhang Bei and Grandpa Li have a good relationship. Although they have no blood relationship, the old man also regards him as his grandson.

Gifts don't have to be too expensive, but you must be liked by the old man.

Changbai Mountain Pine Flower Stone is not a good thing, nor is it worth much.

But after polishing this kind of stone, it feels soft and will not hurt the paper. Its thickness is very suitable for the old man's temper of throwing something away.

My mother-in-law was leaning on a crutch and her steps were not fast, but she was very stable.

He took Zhang Bei all the way to a room and pushed open the door.

As the smoke and dust were scattered, a little girl was sitting on a chair, carefully using a file to smooth the edges and corners of the stone in her hand.

"Xiao Zi, help Zhang Batou make this stone into a ruler."

Hearing the mother-in-law's voice, the girl did not rush to look up, but put down the file, made two marks on the stone with a marker before stopping.

"Master is so dirty, don't come in."

Looking at the girl's movements, a smile appeared in her mother-in-law's eyes.

She kept telling these apprentices that if you want to make a good stone, you must make your heart as stable as a stone.

No matter what happens, you can't hurry. Xiao Zi can be said to be her most proud disciple in this regard.

The old lady also knew that her body was no longer allowed to touch the dust, so she slowly moved her feet and sat on the steps.

"Take the stone over and let me see it."

Zhang Bei quickly delivered the stone in his arms to Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi is a child adopted by her mother-in-law and treats her as her own daughter.

His personality is similar to that of his mother-in-law. As long as he is at work, no matter who is standing in front of him, he will treat the stone with the most serious attitude.

Unlike carving jade, there are not so many techniques for Changbai Mountain pine flower stones, but this kind of stone requires great patience.

Xiao Zi observed for a while and then nodded: "You can do it, it's not troublesome to keep the ruler. It can be done in three hours."

"What exactly does Zhang Batou want?"

"The square one has a groove next to it, so you can grab it with your hands."

"Okay, I get it, you go out."

So what about the boss? She has the final say in her territory. No one except her master can disturb her polishing the rocks.

Zhang Bei was directly pushed out of the room by Xiao Zi. Looking at the door that was closed again, he rolled his eyes immediately.

The old lady watched Zhang Bei come out of the room and was filled with a smile.

"Don't mind, my apprentice is like this."

Zhang Bei nodded, but he didn't care much.

Although Xiao Zi has a low emotional intelligence, she is devoted to the pine flower stone.

Zhang Bei couldn't become such a person, but he admired him very much.

Dedicate everything you have to one thing, and no matter what industry you are in, you will reach your own height.

Even if you are a thief, you have the potential to become a thief.

"How's the Runshanren's side recently?"

"It's not bad, basically life is acceptable."

...

Zhang Bei leaned against the chair and started chatting with his mother-in-law.

The inheritance of Songhua Stone craft has not been done yet.

This kind of stone can be carved into ornaments and made into stone plaques. Although the value is not as high as jade, there is still a huge market.

A purely handmade thing like an old lady can also be sold at a good price.

Xiao Zi was just an apprentice who was staying by her side.

The old lady has accepted at least ten disciples for so many years, and even two disciples from the early years have now left the master to open their own shop.

Compared with insect catchers who seek a way out, this development can be said to be countless times better!

Zhang Bei and the old lady chatted in the yard for more than two hours. As the door opened, Xiao Zi walked out with a tray.

"It's done, let's see how it's going?"

Zhang Bei heard Xiao Zi's voice and quickly stood up and stared at the two rulers on the tray.

Not big, it happens to be able to pick it up with one hand.

The whole is a rectangle, and a groove is carved in the middle area according to Zhang Bei's requirements.

The polished pineapple stone is very warm and soft to the touch, and as a stone, it also has a certain weight.

Xiao Zi looked at Zhang Bei and thought for a moment and took out a box from behind.

"Last time you gave me so many tonics, so I treated this as a gift."

Zhang Bei looked at the box that Xiao Zi took out and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll take it away." ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

There is no need to be polite when getting along with someone like Xiao Zi. Since she said she would give it to her, she must give it to her.

It is better to accept it than to refuse, and you can find something else to give a gift in the future.

Xiao Zi saw Zhang Bei accepting the gift, and finally felt a little emotional in her eyes.

"I'll finish the order right now."

"Yeah, go and do it."

Zhang Bei couldn't help but complain as he saw Xiao Zi crawling into the room again.

"How did you develop her into this temperament?"

The mother-in-law was also quite helpless: "I picked it up for this girl, and you didn't know it."

When the mother-in-law picked up the girl, she was only seven or eight years old. Zhang Bei's father helped her take the procedures for adoption.

At that time, Zhang Bei was only about ten years old and had little contact with this girl.

Since then, this girl has this kind of personality and has not improved at all over the years.

"Have you ever found a psychiatrist for her?"

"I looked for it. The doctor said it was a psychological trauma from childhood. Unless she was willing to say this, there was no way to do it."

Hearing his mother-in-law's explanation, Zhang Bei also sighed.

Looking at the closed door, I couldn't think of any good idea.

He has a deep understanding of physical trauma, but he really has no choice but to do so psychologically.

Even if he has more medicinal herbs, he will not be able to cure his heart disease.

"Then she can't let her hold it in such a long time every day. Should she go out for a walk?"

"What made you feel like I am still able to travel with this old bone now?"

Zhang Bei was silent when he heard his mother-in-law's words.

It’s okay to say that my mother-in-law is old now. When she is young, she will find Songhuashi on the mountain every day and her body will be somewhat unbearable.

However, my mother-in-law is a person who listens to advice. Although Xiao Zi is an apprentice, she grew up with her side since she was a child and is no different from her daughter.

It is really not good to stay in the room every day. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up when he looked at Zhang Bei beside him.
