"Grandma, why are you crying?" Xiao Guyu looked at Wen Yuan with a puzzled expression.

After all, he was still a child and couldn't understand the complex expression on Wen Yuan's face, so he just took out a tissue and handed it over in a panic, wanting grandma to wipe away his tears.

Wen Yuan took the tissue from the child and pressed it on the corner of her eye: "Thank you little taro, grandma is fine."

After a while, Wen Yuan returned to her usual smiling appearance, and asked Xiao Guyu: "Xiao Yutou, have you done the homework grandma left the day before yesterday?"

Xiaoguyu didn't suspect that grandma was changing the subject, and nodded obediently: "It's done."

"Bring it here, grandma, let's have a look."

"Okay." Xiao Guyu ran to the room, and after a while, he brought back two cute wooden sculptures of piglets.

Among them, the more exquisite one is naturally the one carved by Wenyuan. Although the one carved by Xiaoguyu is very similar to Wenyuan's, it is far less neat and coherent with a knife, with many traces of stuttering.

Standing aside and watching, Rong Xiao suddenly realized why the word Wenyuan on the carving knife looked familiar.

Years ago, when she was traveling, she bought a pair of wooden sculptures of piglets in the hands of Xiao Guyu from a street stall.

One is exquisitely carved, the other is clumsily carved, and the two characters Wenyuan are engraved on the belly of the exquisitely carved piglets.

Rong Xiao felt strange at the time, and asked the traveling merchant why there was such a big gap between the two woodcarvers.

The merchant smiled and replied, he bought this woodcarving through a woodcarving shop in a small town. The woodcarving shop was opened by a young couple, and the women's skills were much more skilled than the men's. Naturally, he chose to buy a woman. Unexpectedly, the man was not happy about the carved piglet. He insisted that he wanted to be with his wife often, and the piglet he carved should also be with the piglet carved by his wife, so he directly carved him in a rough shape. The other one was given to a traveling merchant.

If you pick something up for nothing, the traveling merchant will naturally not refuse it.

However, he is also an honest person, and he did not sell the pair of piggy wooden sculptures separately. Previously, someone wanted to buy the exquisite one, but he refused.

Until Rong Xiao paid the money and bought two.

At that time, Rong Xiao only thought it was a lie made up by traveling merchants in order to sell goods, but now seeing the piglets carved by Wenyuan, he believed it somewhat.

It's just that seeing Wen Yuan's current appearance, thinking about it, she shouldn't have a very happy life in the future, so I better not bring up the old things again, so as not to add to her sadness.

Seeing Rong Xiao staring at the wooden piggy in Xiaoguyu's hand, Wen Yuan thought she liked it, so she asked, "Miss Rong likes this woodcarving? If so, I'll give you the one I carved."

Rong Xiao was stunned for a moment, then took the piglet: "Thank you."

Wen Yuan replied that you are welcome, and continued to comment on Xiaoguyu's homework, talking about the areas that need to be adjusted and some technical problems.

Xiaoguyu was not discouraged when Wen Yuan pointed out her mistakes, but immediately sat in front of Wen Yuan and revised them.

The child sat under the candlelight, holding a carving knife with a focused and serious expression.
