Li Muyao and Huo Jiling walked around twice, their hands full of things. Even though they could see these small nuclear carvings every year, Li Muyao still couldn’t help but buy them every time she saw them.
For example, there were many veteran artists in Pinglan County who often set up stalls to sell their nuclear carvings. Every time, they would encounter a different shape and theme of the nuclear carvings.
Li Muyao couldn’t help but buy a few.
She bought the most and liked the most of the twelve zodiac signs, which were the most popular and changeable among the nuclear carvings.
“Hehe, I really like these nuclear carvings. I’ll buy a few sets every year and keep them at home. Moreover, the design of each year’s natal zodiac was different. ”
Even the nuclear zodiac carved by every old craftsman had its own characteristics. Therefore, even if it was the same nuclear carving master, the shape of the zodiac carved every year would be different. It was cute, traditional, and changeable.
What was even more peculiar was the twelve zodiac signs. It seemed to be the basic style of every nuclear sculptor. They would have it on their stalls. Other than that, there were more nuclear sculptures with the same zodiac sign as the theme of tomorrow’s New Year.
“If you like mooncakes, buy them all. It was a meaningful thing to buy them every year and put them together as decorations in the future.”People who liked to collect things were like this. They would buy whatever they liked. Not only that, but wherever he went, he would also look around and buy the unique nuclear carvings. Huo Jiling understood this mentality.
Huo Jiling also remembered Li Muyao’s little hobby.
She hadn’t noticed it before because Li Muyao herself hadn’t realized that she liked to collect these little things. There were prices ranging from tens to a few yuan. However, in Pinglan County, such prices were considered cheap. Of course, today’s prices had doubled. Therefore, there were more people looking and fewer people buying.
People who liked these nuclear carvings would buy them a few days before New Year’s Eve.
Of course, there were also people like Li Muyao, who only came back during the
New Year- Occasionally. they would meet someone who would it without
even haggling.
After all, these old craftsmen were not very famous. Moreover, in their eyes, this kind of craftsmanship was just a way to earn extra money since they were young.
If he went to a big city outside and did some marketing, he might be able to sell it for a higher price.
Li Muyao had once told the old craftsman about this idea, and their answer shocked Li Muyao. They said, “This kind of craftsmanship has turned into a work of art. Even if someone really offers a high price, they won’t be able to do it for long. They won’t be able to make it into a unique business card of Pinglan County like Li Muyao said.
After all, they were old, and there were not many young people nowadays who could calm down and learn nuclear carving. Moreover, learning nuclear carving was really time-consuming. If he relied on this skill, he would not be able to survive in Pinglan County. Even if he went to other places, it might not be as good as he imagined.
As veteran artistes, it would be good if they could persuade one or two grandsons to learn this skill while they still had the energy. They really didn’t want to be a long-term supplier or make a lot of money.
His only wish was that this nuclear carving skill would not be lost after the old people of his generation passed away.”
“Okay, then let’s move on to the next stall. I really like it. In the future, I’ll just buy more. Anyway, I’ve specially built a glass wall over at the new house in Jin City. I can put a lot of these exquisite and small things there.”
Therefore, Li Muyao now hoped that her liking could help these veteran artists generate some income.
In the following years, Li Muyao really did what she said today. She bought all the different twelve zodiac signs on every stall. Even if she couldn’t come to the scene to buy them herself, Li Muyao would find someone to contact these old craftsmen to customize them.
Of course, the price of custom-made items was naturally more expensive, and the things carved were more exquisite. It was precisely because of Li Muyao that these carvings helped her a lot.
Of course, this was a story for the future.
After visiting more than a dozen stalls, Li Muyao and Huo Jiling had more than 20 sets of zodiac carvings. They also met a few high school classmates.
When they saw Li Muyao, who was even more beautiful than when she was in high school, they were all shocked.
As for the female students, they had a very ordinary relationship with Li Muyao when they were in school. They would just greet her casually and chat for a while before hurriedly bidding farewell.
The male students, however, were surprised. When they noticed Huo Jiling next to Li Muyao, they would look disappointed.
Indeed, Li Muyao had a better relationship with the male students than the female students in high school because of her personality.
Many of the male students seemed to treat Li Muyao as a brother, but in reality, there were still some feelings between men and women.
It was just that the students at that time had habitually buried their pure feelings for the male and female students in their hearts. Some of the male students even thought that they would confess to Li Muyao after the college entrance examination.
Who knew that after Li Muyao failed her college entrance examination, she didn’t even attend the last gathering in class and went straight to Sun City to work?
Until now, Li Muyao had been missing from the QQgroup for a long time.
No, it should be said that it was also tonight that Li Muyao received the new QQ group number of her class after the college entrance examination.
“Li Muyao, if you’re not in a hurry to go to Sun City, why don’t we invite our classmates back for a gathering on the third day of the Lunar New Year? I heard that Yao Zhimin also came back from abroad.
This is the first time he’s returned to China since he left our class in the second year of high school. Shall we go together? Your boyfriend won’t disagree, right? Don’t worry, we can bring family members to our class gathering!”
The speaker was Li Muyao’s third-year classmate, the study committee member, Zhang Wei.
And the Yao Zhimin that Zhang Wei mentioned was the one who had the best relationship with Li Muyao in the class.
Huo Jiling was happy that Zhang Wei used the word family to confirm Huo Jiling’s status. However, when he heard the name Yao Zhimin, Huo Jiling’s eyes turned cold because he remembered this name.
He also remembered the disgusting things that the owner of this name had done.
Li Muyao noticed Huo Jiling’s sudden change in mood, so she didn’t answer him directly. She looked at Huo Jiling first and got his nod before answering Zhang Wei.
“Okay, send me the address and time of the gathering. Anyway, you already have my phone number and QQnumber, so you can just send it directly. Then we’ll go to the fireworks show first. You guys can take your time.”
Li Muyao held Huo Jiling’s hand as they walked out of the street. As they walked towards the fireworks show, she asked Huo Jiling with concern,”Ling, did you suddenly feel unwell just now?”
Li Muyao had just asked when she suddenly cried out.
“Ah!”
Li Muyao almost lost her balance when she touched something. Luckily, Huo Jiling caught her in time.
“Mooncakes, do you have any?” Before Huo Jiling could finish his question, Li Muyao had already dragged him back to the spot where she almost fell. She took a look and saw a phone.
Li Muyao had just picked up the phone when she saw a black bag in the trash pile not far away from the phone. A corner of the bag was exposed, and the corner seemed to be the color of money.
When Li Muyao was about to touch the black bag again, Huo Jiling’s face suddenly changed and he stopped her, quickly pulling her back.”Don’t touch it! That thing didn’t seem right. Mooncake, go over there and quietly bring the police over. I’ll stay here and guard.”
As for the phone Li Muyao picked up, Huo Jiling quickly took it from her and took out an empty one from the many bags in his hands.
“Be good, go and call people over first. This matter shouldn’t alarm too many people.”
At this time, Huo Jiling had already let go of Li Muyao’s hand. Instead, he moved to the side of the rubbish pile to make sure that he wasn’t mistaken..
