Chapter 98 It Was Worth His Time

The man who stood up was like an eagle, full of male aggression. Even though Bai Naihan had deliberately restrained himself, Yun Qinghuan still felt uncomfortable with the sudden occupation of male hormones in her living space.

Especially now, she had to slightly raise her head when talking to people, and when she was a little closer, she could even feel the man's shallow breath floating over her head.

Unlike before, the man was sitting in a wheelchair and was not even as high as her shoulders, and he spoke a little unscrupulously.

Now, without any deliberate reminder, Yun Qinghuan paid attention to keeping a distance from him.

For example, at this moment, Yun Qinghuan had just finished cooking and was ready to ask her mother-in-law to come over for dinner. She moved the chairs around the table and invited the man to eat first.

The man stood up from under the stove with a cane and walked a few steps towards her. Yun Qinghuan unconsciously took a step back, feeling that the distance was within a safe range, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

She lowered her head slightly, moved her toes back a little, and then looked up at the man, "What's wrong?"

Bai Naihan paused, holding the cane with some strength, her amber eyes were as deep as an ancient well, "Sister-in-law, the desk I made for you last time is done, it's in my room, you can see if there is anything else you want to change, just tell me directly."

"Ah?" Yun Qinghuan didn't react for a moment, then nodded fiercely, "Oh, oh, I remember, thank you, Naihan, I'll go and see it after dinner."

If he hadn't reminded her, she would have almost forgotten that she asked him to help make the desk.

Patting her head, she felt that she had been confused in her writing recently.

In fact, the editor-in-chief sent the share of the first two stories again, about 20 or 30, saying that the story was well received and sales increased a lot, so she got a lot of commission.

The editor now urged her to write the second novel and send it over as soon as possible, so as to seamlessly connect with the first novel. She also said that her pen name Yun Dan Feng Qing has already been well-known and has a certain readership. As long as she writes stories well, it will definitely be a big hit in the future.

She also said that a publishing house has taken a fancy to her first novel and is negotiating to give Yun Qing Huan the highest share.

In short, the editor-in-chief has made a lot of promises, so Yun Qing Huan has been very motivated recently. Every day, she is either reading high school books, doing exercises, or writing manuscripts. She is so busy that she has forgotten about this matter.

I only remember that my brother-in-law likes to carve wood whenever he has nothing to do.

Fortunately, at this time, An An, who has a nose as sensitive as a dog, smelled the smell and came over. He took a deep sniff and said happily, "Mom, there is meat!"

The little guy broke the awkward atmosphere without knowing it, but ran to the table excitedly to see it, holding his stomach, and felt even hungrier.

"Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." Yun Qinghuan tried to ignore the man's gaze and told him to wash his hands quickly.

Even if he had the royalties now, Yun Qinghuan couldn't take his family to eat meat every day. After all, meat not only costs money, but also requires meat tickets, otherwise he couldn't buy meat even if he had money.

So, usually he would buy meat every two or three days when he was hungry, but even so, the living conditions of the Bai family are much better than before.

At least almost every meal is rice or white flour, as for the bran that makes the throat ache, it is no longer eaten.

The main reason is that Yun Qinghuan can't eat this thing.

She also went to the yard, stood in front of her mother-in-law's house, and called her mother-in-law to eat.

Liu Yuzhi worked until more than ten o'clock in the afternoon, and she got up early in the morning and went to the field at dawn. You know, it's summer now. It's already bright at more than five in the morning. So, Liu Yuzhi is usually very tired after work and has to take a nap in the house, otherwise she can't stand it.

Now Yun Qinghuan has changed to delivering meals to Liu Yuzhi in the morning.

As soon as she called out, there was a rustling sound in the room, and Liu Yuzhi responded.

For lunch, they cooked shredded potatoes with vinegar and stir-fried pork slices with lotus root, steamed rice, and tomato and egg soup. The four of them finished all the dishes, not even a grain of rice was left, and their stomachs were full.

After dinner, Liu Yuzhi didn't let the two wash the dishes and pots. She had rested enough at noon, and there was nothing to do in this hot day anyway, so she just washed the dishes.

Yun Qinghuan didn't want to stay in the kitchen anymore. It was too hot. She had cooked and eaten, and she was sweating all over. She felt a little sticky and uncomfortable. She wanted to get some water to wipe her body and change clothes.

Summer clothes are thin, and there is nothing else except the smell of sweat. Just put some soap and rub it with your hands, and it will be dry in the afternoon.

Now there is no air conditioning, and it is easy to sweat when cooking. Yun Qinghuan is used to changing clothes twice a day.

After dinner, the man led her into his room.

To be honest, Bai Naihan's house is very tidy, a little too tidy. She hadn't seen it except when An An was sick last time, but she didn't look at it carefully. Now that she entered the house, she only glanced at it for a few times and then looked at the table by the window.

It can be seen that it is a brand new desk, and there are even some complicated patterns carved on it. It is very beautiful. It keeps the original wood color. Only wood wax oil is applied after carving the patterns to prevent some small wood chips from piercing people.

After seeing the finished product, Yun Qinghuan was stunned and widened his eyes. It took a long time for him to react. Then he walked around the desk, "Oh my God, it's really beautiful!"

It doesn't look like a desk, it looks like a handicraft.

She asked Bai Naihan to make a desk for her, and she didn't think much about it. She just thought it was fine as long as it could be used. She really didn't expect that he would make it so beautiful!

This kind of handmade desk with such good quality would cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in modern times, especially since it was carefully carved with many patterns by the man. It is difficult to buy even if you have money.

No wonder she often saw the man carving with a wooden board, and wondered what he was doing. It turned out that the results were all here.

Seeing that she liked it, the man's tense body relaxed slightly, and said with a smile, "It's good that sister-in-law likes it."

It's worth his effort.

"I like it, I really like it!"

Her eyes were sparkling, like the stars, "Naihan, who did you learn this woodworking from? You can even carve by hand, so amazing!"

The man looked a little gloomy, "I learned it from a master."

Because he had a hard life since he was a child, after Bai Naihan became more sensible, he spent all day thinking about his livelihood except going to school.

At that time, a university teacher was transferred here. He was a knowledgeable old craftsman with superb carving skills. He knew all the traditional Chinese carving patterns.

At that time, woodworking was still very popular. Although you can't make a lot of money, at least you don't have to worry about food and drink.

At first, Bai Naihan didn't know that the master could carve. He just knew that he was pitiful, so he would bring some food to the master from time to time.

Obviously, he didn't have a good life, but he couldn't bear to see others suffer.
