Chapter 2544 Learning from the Scriptures
"That kid Komatsu told you."

Mu Lao smiled bitterly.

"The delivery date for the work I'm working on is approaching."

"I really don't have time..."

"But I want you to see it soon..."

"After all, it's been delayed for a long time..."

He realized that there was a detail wrong in his wood carving. Although he refuted Lao Xiao's words at that time, Mu Lao agreed with Lao Xiao's statement in his heart.

He wants to carve a new one.

Otherwise, he would feel uncomfortable when he thought about that little flaw.

it's good now.

He finally came up with a perfect work.

At least in his eyes, this work is perfect.

……

“Grandpa Mu, your work is really good.”

Xiao Xiao smiled.

“We all love it.”

……

"really like."

Old Mrs. Xiao emphasized.

“The carving is so realistic.”

"so amazing."

"Old Wood, you will become a true master carver."

Old Madam Xiao said with almost certainty.

……

Mu Lao laughed heartily.

The reason he came here this time was to personally ask Xiaoxiao what he thought of wood carving.

After all, it is my masterpiece.

He wants to get the most honest feedback.

I didn't expect to receive more praise than I expected.

Mu Lao was very happy.

It has always been his dream to become a true master in carving.

After listening to what Old Lady Xiao said, he thought that he had taken another step towards this dream.

Step by step.

No need to be too fast.

As long as he doesn't stop and works hard, one day he will reach the end.

He will realize his dream.

……

Mu Lao didn't stay long and said goodbye and left.

After all, he was in good condition now and could not wait to stay in the carving studio all day.

There is work to be done.

If Komatsu wants to share his work, he needs more practice.

Gumuxuan will not allow half-baked works to be given to customers.

It will damage the reputation of Gumuxuan.

This is something Mu Lao would never allow.

……

open the door-
"Woo woo~
A cold wind rushed in.

The rich fragrance of plum blossoms also comes with it.

Mu Lao shrank his body and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It smells good.

Mu Lao couldn't help but reveal a smile with a bit of obsession.

……

"Xiaoxiao."

When Xiao Xiao was sending Mu Lao out, although he knew that this was not good, Mu Lao still couldn't help turning his head frequently.

That white plum tree is so beautiful.

This was a fact he had known for a long time.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen this white plum tree as one of the objects for carving.

Although I know...

Every time he sees Bai Mei, he is still as amazed as the first time he saw her.

"It's incredible..."

Mu Lao murmured.

How could there be such a... spiritual white plum blossom in the world?
Yes.

Reiki.

That faint thing around me...is it white mist?
It must be the cold.

Mu Lao is not sure.

But in his eyes, the white plum blossoms seemed to have a fairy-like aura.

Very special.

It’s also very beautiful.

……

"Mu Lao."

Xiao Xiao pulled the old man slightly.

Mu Lao was stunned.

"what?"

……

"Watch out for the threshold."

Xiao Xiao reminded the old man.

……

Mu Lao looked down.

really.

There is a threshold in front of your feet.

If Xiaoxiao hadn't reminded him in time, he might have tripped.

That would be bad.

……

"Xiaoxiao, thanks for reminding me." Mu Lao smiled gratefully.

"If I really fall, I'll be scolded to death by my wife."

Mu Lao looked relieved.

“It will also delay the carving.”

……

Xiao Xiao curved his eyebrows.

"Grandpa Mu, look ahead when you walk."

……

Hearing this, Mu Lao smiled awkwardly.

"cough~"

Mu Lao cleared his throat somewhat uncomfortably.

"It is my fault."

"It's also because the white plum tree in your house is so beautiful."

Mu Lao turned his head.

The scene that came into view immediately afterwards once again filled his eyes with amazement.

His face was full of admiration.

He felt that he had run out of words to describe this white plum tree.

The so-called beauty that is difficult to describe in words...

He really saw it in this white plum tree.

……

"Hey, Xiaoxiao."

Mu Lao glanced at Xiao Xiao out of the corner of his eye.

He was still reluctant to completely take his attention away from Bai Mei.

"How did your family take care of this white plum tree?"

“There wasn’t any in the beginning, right?”

As an old neighbor of the Xiao family, Mu Lao had been to the Xiao family's yard when he was a child.

But at that time, he had never seen this white plum tree.

If he had seen it, he would never forget it.

I have only seen such an extraordinary white plum blossom once... Who could forget it?

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded, "My grandma picked it up from the road a few years ago."

"It must have been thrown away by someone."

……

"what?!"

Mu Lao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Did your grandma pick up this white plum tree on the road?!"

How can it be?

Can you pick such beautiful white plum blossoms on the road?

where is it?
He wants to pick it up too!
……

"Of course it wasn't like this when my grandma picked it up."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"At that time, grandma just picked up this white plum tree with a lucky mentality."

“I don’t know if he can be saved.”

"So she didn't tell us at first that she had brought back a white plum tree."

"The white plum blossoms bloomed in the back, and we noticed there was an extra white plum tree in the yard."

……

"...That's it."

Mu Lao was a little surprised, "It was almost broken?"

People of the older generation are always more reluctant to use certain words.

Mu Lao changed his way of saying it.

His life is better than ever.

He still wants to live a few more years.

Live long enough for Xiaosong to take over Gumuxuan from him.

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

“It’s very tenacious.”

"Very well survived."

……

Mu Lao smacked his lips.

He looked at Baimei not far away.

More than just surviving well...

It's very good that he survived.

"This... is also a kind of counterattack, right?"

The old man thought of the words he occasionally heard on the TV news.

It's so shocking.

Who would have thought... that this white plum tree was actually in a dying state a few years ago?
Well, speaking of this...

This time, Mu Lao looked directly at Xiao Xiao, "So, how do you keep it alive?"

"And you're raising it so well?"

If you have any special experience...

He also wanted to learn from the experience and then grow one in his own yard.

He couldn't help feeling happy when he thought about the fact that his yard would be filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms and he could see plum blossoms in full bloom when winter came.

The scene was really beautiful.

……

“Is it your grandmother who’s taking care of it?”

After all, Xiaoxiao said that it was his grandmother who picked up the plum tree, and she didn't tell her family at first.

Since no one has been told, who else can take care of the plum tree except Grandma Xiaoxiao who picked up the plum tree?
"so amazing."

Mu Lao's face was full of admiration.

"I've known your grandmother for so long, but I didn't know she was so good at taking care of plum trees."
