485, Totoro (2/3)
In May of early summer, in Yuezhou with the coconut wind and sea charm, the sea breeze blows the coconut trees, camphor trees and kapok trees in the woods, and the sound of cicadas deep in the woods can be heard in my ears. These cicada spirits warmly welcome the arrival of summer.
The breeze is just right and the sun is not dry. It is a good day to go out for a walk and date.
Li Xiang took out the bento bag he brought with him and placed it on the stone table.
Huang Youyi, who was focused on eating marshmallows, asked curiously: "What is this? Have you prepared a bento?"
"Guess what's inside?"
“There is a bento~”
“…”
"Ha~ I guess there are sandwiches."
"So smart." Li Xiang took out two sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap from the bento bag.
"what else?"
"You see this?"
"Barbecue?"
"I learned from my grandma the Yuezhou-style crispy barbecue."
"Why are you thinking about making crispy barbecue?" Huang Youyi stared at Li Xiang with a burning look.
Li Xiang: "Why? I just think you might like to eat, and then make it. What? Do you like it very much?"
Huang Youyi nodded happily, yes, she likes to eat crispy barbecue very much, especially the Yuezhou-style ones. Unexpectedly, Li Xiang would have made Yuezhou-style crispy barbecue by such a coincidence.
Li Xiang silently said thank you Comrade Xiao Lian, and then put the crispy barbecue on the stone table and said, "If you like it, eat it quickly. After walking for so long, you should be a little hungry now."
"Yeah." Huang Youyi didn't talk much, but her voice was sweet, just like the half roll of marshmallows left in her hand. The air was filled with a sweet smell. At the same time, the half she ate made her heart feel sweet and happy.
"Did you do this?" Huang Youyi's beautiful eyes fell on Li Xiang opposite him.
Li Xiang: "Yes."
This morning, Li Doudu was so annoying that he couldn't sleep. He got up at 5 o'clock in the morning and did nothing. He couldn't really eat and not sleep. Doudu wasn't the one that could not be steamed or cooked, pounded or fried, and a copper bean was roared. She cried when she beat her up, and she started to get up with her as soon as she beat her up. Yu Yong and him were afraid of their mothers.
After doing nothing in the morning, Li Xiang made breakfast in the kitchen and made a bento by the way, and brought it to Huang Youyi for a taste.
In total, I made three portions of Guangdong-style crispy barbecue, one portion brought, one portion into Li Doudu's belly, and one portion eaten by everyone for breakfast.
Huang Youyi and Li Xiang finished the bento they brought quickly, and the total portion was not large. Li Xiang brought a few more, just as snacks, and temporarily kept their stomachs because they should have lunch in a while.
The two of them immediately got up and continued to wander around the zoo, and did not leave until 11:30 in the morning.
After a while of lunch, Li Xiang took Huang Youyi to a carpenter shop after he was booked.
"Come on, wear this." Li Xiang took an apron and put it on Huang Youyi. Huang Youyi reached out to take it and put it on himself, but Li Xiang gave it a moment and said, "Don't move, stretch out your hand."
Huang Youyi obediently opened her hands and shyly asked Li Xiang to put on her apron.
"Please help me wear it." Li Xiang gave Huang Youyi his apron and applied for Miss Huang to help him wear it.
"I'm not." Huang Youyi walked away with a smile and sat smugly, sat at the long table, looked at the woodworking tools on the table, and wondered what to do.
Li Xiang had to put it on himself and said, "Then please wear the apron straps for me."
"Come here and turn around." Huang Youyi asked after helping him tie the apron and asked, "What are we doing?"
The woodworking shop allows customers to make wood products by themselves, draw design drawings by themselves, select wood by themselves, saw and polish by themselves, until they make works that they are satisfied with.
Li Xiang thought about it and asked, "Do you know the chinchilla?"
"Tongchi? What is it? Are cats like Ragdoll cats?"
"It's not a ragdoll cat, nor is it the common cat we have, but a very mysterious and cute cat with superpowers."
"ah?"
"Well, they live for hundreds of years. They live in seclusion in dense forests and like hazelnuts. Only those with innocent hearts can see them, otherwise they will not be able to see them even if they are close to you."
"I haven't seen it before."
“…”
What can I say about this? Are you not innocent in your heart? Why are you a little stupid? This girl looks quite cunning when playing volleyball.
"I'll draw the picture first. We'll follow the picture and make chinchillas together, okay?"
"OK."
Li Xiang spread out the white paper, took off the pen cap of the brush, and drew a simple picture of the chinchilla on the long table. Huang Youyi was curious about the chinchilla and stood behind him to look.
"It's three!" Huang Youyi saw three cat-like animals, one big, one small and one mini, appearing on the drawings. They were round and very cute, and their beards were a bit funny.
"Okay, let's do it according to this drawing." Li Xiang put down his brush and handed the drawing to Huang Youyi.
Huang Youyi was very curious about the chinchilla and kept asking about the habits of this mysterious little animal. She seemed to like listening to stories more than doing woodworking.
The two sat in the room of the carpenter shop and quietly began to make wood products.
Li Xiang chose the most suitable piece of wood. Huang Youyi followed the drawings to draw the lines on the wood and outlined the lines. Then Li Xiang used a woodworking saw to saw off the excess wood according to the lines outlined by Huang Youyi, and then the two began to carefully carve and polish it.
The two of them chatted casually while making it, and they were very focused. The sun outside the window gradually sets westward. It took nearly two hours to finally make the three chinchilla carvings holding hands.
Although the details cannot be treated roughly compared with the wood products sold in the woodworking shop, both of them are very satisfied. With their level, this is the best that can be done.
Huang Youyi was very satisfied with the handmade work this time and liked it so much that Li Xiang naturally gave the Totoro to her, and the two signed their names on the back of the Totoro: Li Xiang & Huang Youyi.
Before time could be known, it was three months old. The two of them went to a coffee shop. While eating some snacks and milk tea, they took a while to replenish their energy. Making chinchillas was quite exhausting.
Huang Youyi couldn't help but take out the chinchilla from the packaged box, held it in her hand with a smile and looked around, and asked Li Xiang curiously: "Why have I never heard of the chinchilla story?"
Li Xiang laughed and said, "Because you are missing an older brother."
Huang Youyi suddenly realized and said enviously: "I envy Dou Dou and Shishi, well, actually, I have also envied my aunt since I was a child. My uncle really spoiled her, so it's really happy to have an older brother."
"Your uncle?" Li Xiang asked.
Huang Youyi: "Yes, he has been spoiling my aunt since he was a child, and so is now."
At this time, she suddenly stood up, waved behind Li Xiang, and then said to Li Xiang: "Meet a friend."
Li Xiang looked back and was stunned. He was not an acquaintance, but he had met Liu Qianyu! Liu Guanglun's daughter.
I didn't expect to meet here by chance. Last time Li Xiang and Liu Qianyu met at the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony. Liu Qianyu was one of the hosts and Li Xiang was the winner. The two had a brief chat on the stage, and there was no intersection, so they nodded.
The other party may not recognize him because he was wearing a sun hat and did not take it off. Moreover, after all, the two of them had little contact.
"Can I go and say hello to her?" Huang Youyi asked Li Xiang first.
"Of course, you go." Li Xiang smiled.
Before leaving, Huang Youyi said mysteriously: "Well, don't worry, I won't expose you."
Li Xiang: "..."
Now, compared to why he met here by chance by chance, Li Xiang is more curious about how Huang Youyi met Liu Qianyu.
Liu Qianyu's father is Liu Guanglun, Liu Guanglun is a superstar of the king. Liu Qianyu herself was the Miss Asia last year and a very famous second-generation star. She should have no intersection with Huang Youyi.
