Chapter 160: Making a snowman and carving a white lion, animal nature.
The next day was Saturday, and Lao Xu and the others still had to go to work. However, since Xu Dongsheng could now even go without sleep, Lao Xu got up and started preparing breakfast, and Xu Dongsheng woke up.
"Did I disturb your sleep? It's snowing so thick outside, and it's freezing cold. You came back so late last night, go back to sleep."
Coming out of the room, although the door was closed, gusts of cold wind still rushed in through the gap in the door. Xu Dongsheng also felt the sub-zero temperature. His body could withstand it, but this cold was a psychological cold. Xu Dongsheng, who had never seen snow in his previous life, felt a chill when he looked at the white snow outside through the crack in the door.
When Xu Dazhuang saw Xu Dongsheng got up, he immediately told Xu Dongsheng to sleep a little longer. His son came back late at night in the snow and it was obvious that he was exhausted from running around. Old Xu also felt sorry for his son.
"It's okay, Dad. I'll go sweep the snow in the yard. Otherwise, there won't be anyone to sweep the snow at home."
Xu Dongsheng said to Xu Dazhuang with a smile, and then prepared to go out to sweep Xu. Xu Dazhuang hurriedly told Xu Dongsheng to put on his cotton-padded jacket. Xu Dongsheng nodded quickly when he heard it, and then picked up the cotton-padded jacket that Old Xu had placed in front of the stove and was drying it in the firelight of the stove.
Obviously, this was specially prepared by Old Xu for Xu Dongsheng. Feeling the temperature of the cotton-padded jacket, Xu Dongsheng felt his heart warmed. Although he was not afraid of the cold, how could he bear to refuse Old Xu, who was both his father and mother?
Xu Dongsheng put on his cotton-padded jacket, picked up the bamboo broom leaning against the door, opened the door, and a gust of wind blew in. Xu Dongsheng quickly closed the door and looked at the knee-high snow at the door. A lot of it had been scooped away by Xu Dazhuang in a basin. It was obvious that the water used for cooking was melted snow.
Xu Dongsheng walked out of the room and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were still falling lightly, but looking at the white clouds that were beginning to disappear in the sky, Xu Dongsheng knew that today should be a light snow and then sunny.
Looking at the white snow in the yard, Xu Dongsheng was originally preparing to sweep the snow, but Xu Dongsheng put down the bamboo broom, went back to the house, took out a shovel from the room, and started shoveling the snow. Xu Dongsheng did not shovel all the snow from the ground, but left some of it and only shoveled the white part.
Then they shoveled all the snow and piled it in the yard in front of their house. At this time, the children in Yan Bugui's family also woke up. Yan Jiecheng saw Xu Dongsheng making a snowman, and hurried back to the house to wake up Yan Jiefang and the other three. Then they made a snowman in the yard together and started competing with Xu Dongsheng.
After a while, Xu Dongsheng had gathered most of the snow in the front yard and piled it together. For Xu Dongsheng, who was proficient in carving, the snow looked like pieces of jade at this time, and he waved the shovel in his hand as casually as a carving knife.
Soon, the snowman Xu Dongsheng made took shape, turning into a snow-white lion sitting and looking out of the yard. It looked so lifelike that Xu Dongsheng couldn't help but admire his own carving skills.
The carving was completed and Xu Dongsheng had moved half of the snow in the front yard. The rest was naturally the job of the rest of them. Xu Dongsheng put away the shovel and walked into the house, then closed the door.
Watching Xu Dongsheng leave, Yan Jiekuang, who had been staring at Xu Dongsheng, curiously ran to the lion carved by Xu Dongsheng. The lion looked like a living being, and Yan Jiekuang was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
"Jie Kuang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so scared? A snowman scared you like this. Don't wet your pants, or there won't be any to change them for you."
Looking at Yan Jiekuang sitting on the ground in a daze, Yan Jiecheng thought that Yan Jiekuang had just tripped and fallen, so he teased him and reminded Yan Jiekuang that if his pants got wet, he would have no new ones to change into.
"No, brother, look."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jiekuang immediately crawled up and pointed at the white lion that Xu Dongsheng had just sculpted. Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng also walked over and looked at the front of the lion. The lion carved by Xu Dongsheng was so similar to it, just like a living lion. Although it was not the king of beasts, its animal nature also shocked Yan Jiecheng.
"Hiss, how come Xu Dongsheng has this trick? Why didn't I notice it before?"
It took a while for Yan Jiecheng to come back to his senses from the shock of Xu Dongsheng's sculpture. Then Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi also came over. Looking at the half-human-high white lion and the closed door of Xu Dongsheng's house, they all showed different expressions. Although Yan Jiedi didn't like Xu Dongsheng's family, she admired him a little, so looking at the sculpture, she felt a little more admiration for Xu Dongsheng.
"Brother, why don't we just get rid of it? What we have piled up for a long time is not as good as this. It will be so embarrassing."
Yan Jiefang was also shocked when he saw the lifelike sculpture, but then he had a bad idea. Once the sculpture came out, their half-human snowman would become a backdrop. Besides, it was just a snowman, so if it was destroyed, it would be destroyed and no one would blame him.
But when this sculpture appears here, they just feel uncomfortable looking at it, and with the comparison, they may also be criticized.
"Have you forgotten what your dad said? Don't mess with that Xu guy. You'll end up having to bear the consequences later."
Hearing Yan Jiefang's words, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui's loyal guardian who got the job in exchange for all of Old Yan's property, hurried to Yan Jiefang and whispered to stop him, saying that Xu Dongsheng should not be provoked.
"Tsk, then let's get some snow to protect the surrounding area."
Looking at Yan Jiecheng's lackey appearance, Yan Jiefang sneered, then picked up a shovel, shoveled a shovel of snow and flew onto the back of Xu Dongsheng's white lion.
Yan Jiecheng saw that there was no movement in Xu Dongsheng's house, and thought that if he had an argument with Yan Jiecheng, even if he helped Xu Dongsheng win, he would probably be looked down upon by the people in the courtyard, so he simply ignored it.
Yan Jiefang was allowed to do whatever he wanted and then headed towards Yan's house. Seeing this, Yan Jiefang quickly pulled his younger brothers and sisters to play snowballs together. Not long after, Xu Dongsheng's lion head was smashed beyond recognition.
Xu Dongsheng, who was sitting at home, heard the noise outside and the conversation between Yan Jiecheng and his brother, but he did not go out to stop them. It was just a snowman, so if it was broken, it was broken. He did not need to argue with them. After all, the white lion was just trying out his craftsmanship.
After dinner, Xu Dongsheng and Lao Xu rode their bikes to the steel rolling mill, took their own things from the security department, and left some for the department. At that time, the security department was basically composed of retired people, whom Xu Dongsheng still admired very much. Life was not easy in those days, so Xu Dongsheng also left some things for them.
After arriving at the steel mill and completing his work, Zhou Zhenghua was quite satisfied with Xu Dongsheng's completion of the task, and gave Xu Dongsheng an extra sugar ticket. It was almost the New Year, and sugar tickets and other things were even more precious. Although Xu Dongsheng looked down on it, with this move, even if he was investigated in the future, he could say that it came from here.
As for the rare item that Xu Dongsheng had promised to Zhou Zhenghua, he did not give it to him. Although Xu Dongsheng still had the flesh, blood, bones and skin of the entire giant insect in his current hemisphere, how could Xu Dongsheng be willing to take it out? Such a good thing should be taken out for his own enjoyment, right?
Even the common pickled chicken and duck offal were not taken out. The main thing is that it cannot be too simple. If it is too simple, the effect will not be very good. This is a step-by-step process.
After leaving the steel mill, Xu Dongsheng prepared to go to Xiao Yitu's house. Last time, Xiao Yitu told him that he would take him to fight crickets, and Xu Dongsheng was of course happy to do so. Although it was just for fun, Xiao Yitu said that if one took out something to gamble with during the cricket fighting, one could also make money.
Moreover, these naughty guys are all rich. Even if they don’t have money, they have some rare things in their hands. Xu Dongsheng is also happy to accept these things.
