Chapter 308: Meng Liangdong Returns and Panpan Visits (1)_1
This was an old man whose hair had already turned gray. Lin Yuan asked his age, which turned out to be just over forty. However, his face was so full of worry, and his slightly hunched back made him look as if he were sixty at first glance.
Lin Yuan thought maybe the old man had some difficulties at home and had come out to work out of necessity, so she said nothing and let him join in making the dough as well.
What she did not expect was that the old man would bring her an unexpected surprise. Despite his age, he had a pair of hands that were exceptionally nimble. Before others could even shape the rough form, he had already crafted an exquisitely lifelike little goat. The little goat was incredibly cute, especially the two small whiskers by its mouth, which were thin and slightly curved, making you want to reach out and touch them as soon as you saw them.
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
The old man managed a faint smile with a somewhat deep voice, "My elder daughter is born in the year of the goat."
Lin Yuan thought that was just his way of speaking and didn’t take it to heart. Interested in seeing more of the old man’s skills, she asked him to make another one.
The old man said nothing, nodded, took a piece of white dough from the basin, and quickly fashioned another figurine, this time a little monkey with a long tail. Not only did he sculpt the monkey, but he also made a thin stick and wrapped the monkey’s tail around it, creating the impression that the little monkey was swinging on a tree branch.
"My younger daughter is just like this monkey, very clever," said the old man, with a noticeably brighter voice.
