Rebirth in 88 starts as a carpenter

Chapter 25: After all the hardships, happiness comes, and things turn around

On a rainy night, I walked back home.

Wu Yuan stood in the empty pigsty and lit a cigarette.

In the midst of the curling smoke, I let out a long breath, feeling exhausted all over my body.

To say I'm not tired would be a lie.

But for the first time in his two lives, he was so ambitious and motivated, so he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to be cruel to himself.

If you don't be ruthless, how do you know where the limit is?

However, I am really tired.

As the cigarette butt flickered, Wu Yuan noticed that there were two or three wooden sticks thrown in the corner.

It looked like the stool legs that had been scattered after the old furniture was broken.

I raised my foot and kicked it, it was quite strong.

As soon as you hear the sound, you know it is a good piece of wood.

Good wood should not be buried. It might as well be taken to the workshop to make bed legs.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuan lit a match, picked up the piece of wood, weighed it, and took a closer look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it.

I was shocked when I saw it.

Could this be huanghuali wood?

Who burned it as firewood?

And it wasn't even burned yet, so it was thrown here.

Only about thirty centimeters of the huanghuali wood in my hand remained, and one end was burned into a charcoal shape.

What a waste of natural resources.

This kind of wood is definitely not suitable for making bed legs.

But if it's used to repair the Huanghuali Grand Master's chair, I'm afraid it can barely be done.

Just need to be more clever in the design of mortise and tenon joints.

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up.

Who would have thought that the huanghuali wood that I was looking for, looking for the stars and the moon, would actually be in the corner of my pigsty.

If he didn't find it tonight, he might be burned as wood tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

At most, it can be exchanged for a pot of rice.

Sure enough, the harder you work, the luckier you get.

He took the piece of huanghuali wood to the east room and placed it with the huanghuali Taishi chair, and Wu Yuan went to sleep.

Seeing the inexplicable excitement on her husband's face, Yang Luoyan's pretty face was charming.

It had been a long time since she had seen such an expression, and she really missed it.

But what should you do if your husband makes a request?

The third sister gave me countless warnings, saying this won’t work and that won’t work.

After struggling for a long time, Wu Yuan went to bed, kissed her forehead, turned around and fell asleep.

Yang Luoyan felt relieved, but couldn't help but feel distressed.

He is too tired.

The next day is April 16th in the Gregorian calendar.

The sky has finally cleared up, and the warm spring sun shines through the clouds with a smile, shining brightly on everything.

Even the neighbor's civets are chasing and fighting in the wheat field, creating a scene of revival of all things.

This made Da Huang very anxious.

The mistress of the house watched helplessly as her belly grew, but it never got bigger.

Whenever Xiao Hei and Xiao Hui from the neighbor's house came running over, they would be chased away by the owner's third sister from afar.

Are you going to let the dog live?

How did Dahuang know that Wu Xiuhua chased the dog out because he was afraid that other people's dogs would frighten Yang Luoyan's body.

Although this kind of thing doesn't happen often.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

Wu Xiuhua is so meticulous in everything she does.

After Wu Yuan got up, he was in a good mood and refreshed.

The sunny day after days of rain gave him a feeling that all the hardships had finally come to an end, and that the fortunes were turning.

He told Yang Luoyan and Wu Xiuhua not to move the huanghuali Taishi chair and the wood in the east room. He pinched Xiong Wen's cheek and said, "It's time for tomorrow. When the weather gets hot, uncle will teach you how to drink water."

Judging from the time, Xiong Wen should have escaped the disaster in his previous life.

But now that the rainfall is abundant and the water bubbles are full, Wu Yuan is not sure if if he puts the child back now, he will die in a disaster, but he will have good fortune in the future.

Wu Yuan didn't dare to gamble.

After all, this child is the third sister's life.

After much deliberation, I can only teach my children everything they need to know as an uncle.

At least let him get used to the few blisters near his house.

Or do the opposite and make him fear the bubbles and dare not approach them.

Wu Yuan hasn't figured out how to do it specifically.

At least before the wheat harvest, Third Sister and Xiong Wen will not go back.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On the village radio, news about the May Day International Labor Day was broadcast.

In the past half month, five sets of Simmons beds, including bed frames and mattresses, have been produced in the village factory.

One set was delivered to my uncle Yang Bi, one set was delivered to the Xu family in the same village, and the other three sets were all from Xiawei Village.

Except for my uncle's family, the other four families are all anxious to buy marriage beds for their sons.

No delay.

All goods are paid in cash.

There was an extra 3,200 yuan in cash in the account, plus 800 yuan in treasury bills from my uncle's family, and the original 1,000 yuan in treasury bills, bringing the total to 5,000 yuan.

Wu Yuan felt much relieved all of a sudden.

Every night when I get home, after dinner, I still have time to tinker with the huanghuali Taishi chair in the east room.

In view of the limited and rare materials, Wu Yuan designed three sets of mortise and tenon joint plans before settling on the best plan using ordinary wood.

Then the blackened wood found in the pigsty was processed and perfectly replaced on the broken leg of the Taishi chair. The cutouts of the mortise and tenon were all facing inward, and the seam was so tight that it could not be seen at all.

In addition, Wu Yuan used some exclusive secret ingredients to make it look slightly aged, so normal people wouldn't be able to tell it.

As a carpenter, the sense of accomplishment that comes from repairing an old piece of furniture is unmatched by building new furniture.

It seems that while restoring the old furniture, the sense of history that the old furniture carries is also preserved.

This sense of accomplishment is subtle, rich, and profound.

Simmons bed in the east wing.

Yang Luoyan nestled in Wu Yuan's arms, touching her slightly bulging belly and feeling like flesh and blood were connected.

"Third sister is going back tomorrow, so we have to thank her. I made clothes for Xiong Wen and Xiong Wu. Can you think of anything else for the children?"

Wu Xiuhua talked about this during dinner.

Wu Yuan was surprised, but also found it very reasonable.

Now Yang Luoyan's belly is obviously pregnant, which means that the fetus has been firmly seated and does not need to be taken care of for the time being.

In addition, the wheat harvest is coming soon, so the third sister’s house has been abandoned for so long.

Both the third brother-in-law and Xiong Wu miss the third sister and Xiong Wen very much.

"It's secondary to add something. I'm wondering if I can keep this kid Xiong Wen at home for a while? I promised to teach him how to drink water, but I haven't had time to teach him yet."

"I'd like to keep that kid, he's so cute. Plus Miaomiao comes over and sits on the mattress cover with me, and the family can handle it. I just don't know if the third sister's family is willing to..."

"I'll talk to Third Sister tomorrow."

"By the way, dad sent a message saying that 300 square meters of red bricks, one truck of cement, three trucks of sand, and some steel bars have been delivered. When can we pay the bill? Dad said no later than the end of the year."

"Then let dad rest assured. It will be settled before the end of the year. His grandson will be the guarantee."

Wu Yuan said and touched his wife's belly.

"Don't make trouble, it's not formal." Yang Luoyan knocked off his hand and said: "So many materials, tens of thousands of pieces, are enough to build a small foreign house. Dad really doesn't know what you plan to do, so I asked me to ask you.

"

Wu Yuan deliberately let it slip: "We'll know when the time comes."

Dear Yanzu Yifei, good afternoon, the first update is here.
