Chapter 2542 There are guests

This is the only difference between the two wood carvings.

In a wood carving, Xiao Xiao is wearing a bracelet on his left wrist.

On a wooden carving, Xiao Xiao has Ah Bai wrapped around his left hand.

……

Taken individually, both wood carvings are breathtakingly exquisite.

But putting the two wood carvings together, the improvement of the new one is obvious.

Ever since the old lady saw the wood carving, the smile and admiration on her face have never faded.

"very nice."

The old lady kept muttering.

“This level…”

"so amazing……"

"…As if the eyes have spirit…"

The old lady stared into the eyes of the wood carving.

It really feels like I'm being watched.

Xiaoxiao, Ajiu and Abai were all looking at him.

Perhaps this scene was too familiar, as well as the white plum tree and the stone table and stone bench under it. In a trance, the wood carvings in front of the old lady were stained with color, and the wind blew.

The white plum blossoms are swaying.

The branches touched each other lightly, making a rustling sound.

A white plum petal fell, lightly landing on the stone table.

A little sunlight filtered down from above.

Ajiu and Abai seemed to be glowing.
……

"grandmother."

……

The old lady turned her head suddenly.

Xiaoxiao held Ajiu and looked at her.

His eyebrows are slightly curved.

There is a smile on the lips.

It's just like……

She lowered her eyes to look at the wood carving in her hands.

I couldn't help but sigh.

so similar.

"Old Wood is really amazing..."

……

Xiao Xiao blinked.

"Ah."

"Grandpa Mu is very powerful."

You can tell how much Grandpa Mu’s skills have improved by looking at Grandma’s attitude.

Last time, grandma’s reaction wasn’t as exaggerated as it is now.

In such a short period of time, I have repeatedly said how great Grandpa Mu is.

……

"so similar."

The old lady sighed and laughed.

Because the carving was a scene that she was very familiar with, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and found it difficult to calm down.

……

"This is your grandfather Mu's intention."

The old lady returned the two wooden sculptures to Xiao Xiao and said, "You must keep them carefully."

"If you hadn't helped that kid Xiaosong, I don't think I would have been willing to give this wood carving away."

The old lady grinned.

Anyone would want to collect such a high-quality work.

"I could see that Old Wood was reluctant to leave last time."

"What's more, this time..."

"I think he didn't deliver it personally because he was afraid he would regret it halfway."

……

Xiao Xiao laughed.

"Grandpa Mu will carve better works."

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded.

"After seeing these two wood carvings, I believe it."

"Your Grandpa Mu is obviously in good shape now that his son, whom he has been worried about, has returned."

"I said before that my level is just like this..."

The old lady shook her head.

"Your Grandpa Mu still has a lot of room for improvement."

“I’m waiting to see the day when he truly becomes a master woodcarver.”

……

"Then your two wood carvings will be valuable."

The old lady smiled.

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao also smiled.

"I must keep these two wood carvings carefully."

……

"Haha~"

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other and smiled.

……

Xiao Xiao walked into the yard.

"Plum girl."

he called softly.

……

A breeze suddenly blows.

The wind stopped, and a graceful figure appeared in front of Xiao Xiao.

The plum girl bowed with her skirt lowered.

"Master Xiao Xiao."

The ethereal and clear sound blends perfectly with the cool temperature of winter.

Even the increasingly rich aroma has a hint of chilliness.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He held up the wood carving in his hand.

"Look."

……

Mei Nu immediately understood what Lord Xiao Xiao asked it to see.

It has always looked at the white plum blossoms with its own eyes. The wood carving allows it to look at the white plum blossoms from another perspective.

……

This is not the first time he has seen the wood carving of white plum blossoms.

Compared to the first wood carving I saw, this one gave me more recognition.

"It's very similar."

Miss Mei withdrew her gaze from carefully observing the wood carving and looked up at Lord Xiao Xiao.

……

"right?"

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.

"I also think that the white plum blossoms carved by Grandpa Mu this time already have 50% of the charm."

"It's awesome."

Xiao Xiao exclaimed in admiration.

……

"Ah."

Mei Nu nodded.

Humans are amazing.

Looks weak, but very smart.

They always create all kinds of strange and interesting things.

Just like monsters, humans also have their own unique abilities.

They are also very special and powerful abilities.

but…..,

In its heart, Lord Xiao Xiao is the most powerful.

Other humans can't even see it, let alone get any of its attention.

……

The next morning, Xiao Xiao went downstairs and walked into the restaurant.

The white porridge already served on the table was emitting curls of hot steam.

Side dishes, poached eggs, steamed buns...

A sumptuous breakfast filled the table.

After all, this is breakfast for five people.

There were also fruits and snacks prepared for Ajiu and Abai.

……

Xiao Xiao just picked up the chopsticks-
"Chirp~"

A familiar voice came from far away.

……

Xiao Xiao was slightly stunned.

Apart from the morning greetings, Owl rarely follows me into the restaurant.

Is something wrong?
……

"啾啾~啾啾~"

The pigeon's wings pointed to the door.

……

Xiao Xiao put down his chopsticks and stood up.

……

"Xiaoxiao?"

Xiao Xiao's sudden movement attracted everyone's attention.

"what happened?"

"Anything you want to get?"

……

"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"We have guests coming."

"I'll open the door."

Because it was still early, the gate to the yard was not open.

However, the Xiao family does not unlock the yard gate every day.

It's just that sometimes the door is opened without being locked.

Anyway, almost no one passes by the alley outside the yard.

People who don't know the situation won't push the door on purpose.

Those who can open the door are all old neighbors of the Xiao family.

……

"guest?"

Xiao's mother and the others looked at each other.

What guests?
They simultaneously withdrew their gazes from each other and looked towards the door.

Although they couldn't really see the door from their position.

……

Because of the low temperature and biting wind, the door to the living room was closed.

They were in the restaurant again.

It's not impossible that I didn't hear the knock on the door.

……

"You guys sit down."

Seeing that Xiao's mother and grandmother seemed to want to get up, Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

"I'll just go."

After saying that, Xiao Xiao turned and walked towards the living room.

……

"Okay, isn't it just to open a door?"

Grandpa Xiao picked up a piece of side dish with chopsticks and put it on the porridge. "What is there to worry about?"

"How old are you..."

……

The old lady glared at the old man.

"What are you talking about?"

“We are curious about who came here so early in the morning?”

……

"Won't you find out later?"

Grandpa Xiao looked calm and composed.

"You're already old, but you're still so impatient..."

The old man shook his head.

……

Xiao Xiao opened the door to the living room.

The cool air rushed in.

The thin mist between the sky and the earth has not yet dissipated.
