While the other two groups were still learning about the history of the paper-cutting culture, Meng Chuyuan’s team had already begun to take action.
“First of all, let’s fold the paper. Follow me. There’s no need to rush. I’ll teach everyone how to cut double happiness first.”
The instructor held a piece of paper in his hand and folded it several times in an orderly manner.
Then, he began to draw a simple outline on the paper with a pencil. He cut according to the pencil’s lines. After that, he opened the paper and obtained a completed double happiness cut-out.
Ting Jiu held the paper he had just cut and turned to hand it to Meng Chuyuan.
He said seriously, “Sister Chuyuan, this is for you. I wish you and
Brother-in-law a happy marriage.”
Meng Chuyuan glanced at it and accepted it without hesitation. “Thank you.’ [Ting Jiu, you really know how to dramatize the variety show. You know what the audience wants.]
[Save me, hahaha. I wonder what kind of emotion Sister Meng is trying to express by saying thank you.]
[When did he become your brother-in-law? You call him very familiarly.]
[There’s no need for that. In my heart, Sister Meng is the only beautiful one.
Men, stand aside!!]
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Ting Jiu rubbed his head and smiled foolishly.
“Just let me know when you guys are holding your wedding.”
Meng Chuyuan looked at him and said meaningfully, “Then you will have to prepare the wedding money. My wedding banquet isn’t going to be an easy free
meal for you.”
She didn’t think their marriage would last that long. After all, it was a contractual marriage.
Lu Qingye had taken the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with her to get the marriage certificate, but having a wedding was really complicated. Besides, she didn’t even know how far she and Lu Qingye could go.
“I definitely have to prepare Sister Chuyuan’s wedding money.”
Seeing Meng Chuyuan sincerely and frankly talking to Ting Jiu about her future wedding, Lu Jinsen silently rolled his eyes.
He had seen Meng Chuyuan make bold claims before. She was not afraid to say anything, especially when it came to marriage.
When they first started learning paper-cutting, what the teacher taught them was not complicated at all. Anybody with hands would know how to cut it.
After they cut out their first flower, they started with the slightly more complicated patterns. After learning from the teacher for a while and cutting out two or three flowers of different difficulties, they officially started on the main topic of the day.
The design given by the production team was a little rabbit. There were some complicated flowers and plants on it. When everyone saw this design, their heads hurt.
Qi Zhen scratched his head, not knowing what to do. “How do I cut this?”
“I don’t know how to draw rabbits. What should I do?” Ting Jiu chimed in.
The teacher did not teach them how to cut small animals just now. They were only taught to cut out the basic Double Happiness word and geometric patterns. After seeing the pattern given by the production team, the six guests were stunned.
The director smirked and said calmly, “That depends on how you do it.”
If he gave them a simple pattern, this morning’s recording would end quickly. Therefore, in order to keep them here and film sufficient content for the live-stream, the director could only think of this.
It was a nice opportunity for them to explore and think about how to cut out a complicated little rabbit.
Meng Chuyuan stared at the pattern for a long time. Then, according to the symmetrical method, she folded the paper and found the area of overlap first. After that, she used a pen to draw the outline of the pattern and then the rabbit’s body.
After finding the method and technique, Meng Chuyuan said confidently, “I think it’s quite simple.”
Because the reference piece was printed out by the production team and not cut out by a person, there were no creases on it.
[This is indeed a good method. It’s not very friendly to people with poor memory.]
[Although I activated God’s Vision in front of the screen, I still don’t understand. Am I too stupid?]
[How did Sister Meng restore the paper to its original form just now? I was stunned.]
[It’s so complicated… The paper is thin and there are so many places that need to be cut. No one can possibly revert the paper back to its original form after cutting it, right?]
She took a complete sheet of paper and following her train of thought just now, she folded it. She picked up a pencil and ticked off the parts that probably needed cutting.
The other guests were stunned. They did not know what Meng Chuyuan would cut out later.
Due to the fact that there were too many areas that needed to be trimmed and the paper was very thin, Meng Chuyuan was very careful with every step. She was afraid that if she cut too much, the entire picture would be destroyed.
Lu Jinsen was the closest to her. He had seen Meng Chuyuan’s actions just now.
Lu Jinsen did not understand the first step, but when Meng Chuyuan cut out the rabbit ears, he looked surprised and asked curiously, “Can you really cut out a rabbit?”
“It should be possible.” Meng Chuyuan cut the paper especially seriously with her gaze fixed on the scissors.
When the other two groups of guests heard Meng Chuyuan’s words, they felt that she might just be giving it a try. After this thought surfaced, they did not wait for Meng Chuyuan’s finished painting and began to act according to their own ideas.
After a while, Meng Chuyuan put down the scissors and heaved a sigh of relief.
“It’s done…”
