Chapter 869: Chapter 869: Gu Yundong's Proposal

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yundong could not help but secretly roll her eyes. You even learned how to speak like me?

But Gu Yundong was still very happy that Aunt Ke agreed.

However, there was one thing that needed to be mentioned.

“Don’t be too tired. There’s no harm in going over later in the morning. There aren’t many customers at the beginning anyway. You have to come back early at night. There’s no need to wait until after closing. Although your place isn’t very far from New Tea Pavilion, it’s not too late. I’ll be worried.”

“Alright, alright, I understand.” Aunt Ke pushed her away. “Don’t be sticky. Hurry up and ask your mother and the children to wash their hands. It’s time to eat.”

Gu Yundong smiled and went out. After the few of them finished their lunch, she brought them home.

Only Bian Han and the Lu family were left at home. Gu Dajiang had brought Yunshu and Yuanzhi back to Tianhai Academy yesterday and happened to meet Master Xia. Today, Master Xia had called him to the academy to help copy books, so he was not around.

Bian Han sat by the window and was carving with a piece of wood in his hand. He was very focused.

Hearing the voice at the door, he looked up and welcomed his son who ran in. He asked him what had happened when he went out today.

Bian Yuanzhi had told him in detail that ever since he reunited with his parents, he had become especially coquettish and cheerful.

Gu Yundong looked at Bian Han and thought of what Feng Daneng had said today.

Eldest Uncle was indeed more focused on the exquisite work of carving. He could also do some tables and stools. However, he was not used to following the construction team and renovating the shop.

Gu Yundong did not think that it was a big deal. It was already very impressive if one’s certain skills were superb. He did not have to worry about food and clothes.

In the past, when she was in her hometown, there were not many people who hired her uncle to work, so his skills did not improve much.

But in recent days, Gu Yundong had seen the wooden carvings and found that they were much more exquisite and complicated.

After some thought, Gu Yundong walked to the window.

Seeing her coming over, Bian Han looked up and smiled. “Yundong, are you looking for me?”

“Yes…” Gu Yundong looked at the few small things he had carved today and said, “Uncle, have you ever thought of making a set of wooden carvings?”

“A set of wooden carvings?” Bian Han did not seem to understand.

Gu Yundong said, “For example, you can sculpt twelve zodiac signs, calligraphy, and any objects. Then, you can mark these wooden carvings to show that you sculpted them. Some people will have obsessive-compulsive disorder. They might buy other zodiac signs because they like one of them. Some people like to collect such sets. Do you think this is okay?”

Yuanzhi’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “That’s right. You can even sculpt plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums. Scholars will definitely like it.”

The more Bian Han listened, the more excited he became. That’s right, why didn’t he think of it? In the past, he always carved anything he thought of.

Now that she heard Yundong’s words, she suddenly felt enlightened.

“You’re right. I, I’ll start carving the twelve zodiacs now.”

Yuanzhi was in a hurry. “Father, I’ll help you write.”

Gu Yundong saw that the father and son were immediately busy. She smiled and left.

Bian Han and Yuanzhi were so busy that they forgot the time. They only realized it when the sky gradually darkened.

Eldest Aunt Gu… was not back yet.

Bian Han immediately became anxious. “Yuanzhi, go out and take a look. Why isn’t your mother back yet?”

Yuanzhi put down his brush and was about to leave when the door to the courtyard opened.
