had a meal at Brother Shi's house, Bian Rui drank a little too much, of course, others drank more, only Bian Rui returned home alone with a table of ten people, and the rest of the few were all drunk, the worst thing was Bian Shi's cousin, who was so drunk that he lay directly under the table, holding Bian Shi's dog and not letting go.

Because he drank a little too much, Bian Rui slept lazily early the next morning, and he hadn't gotten up yet.

When Bian Rui got up, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and when he got up to cook, he asked and found that there was no one at home except himself, so Bian Rui curiously took out his mobile phone.

Waiting for the phone to be called, Bian Rui realized that everyone had gone to the house where Zhu Tongqiang lived before today, to clean up, and to prepare to start a gang here tonight.

Bian Rui saw that he had to take a look, so he put down the phone, got on his small motorcycle and went to the slope courtyard.

When I arrived at the small courtyard, I found that everyone was working in full swing, although Zhu Tongqiang used to live here, but there was no furniture, only a bed, and a writing desk or something, now everyone wants to use it, so now there is a big table in the yard, and there is something that looks like a long cabinet, and the rest is some benches and the like.

"Where did you get all this stuff?" asked Bian Rui.

"It's all given by everyone, whoever has extra things at home will move here, and the people in the village are really enthusiastic about moving so many things in one morning," Bian Rui's mother-in-law said while wiping the table.

Bian Rui thought for a moment: "These things have to be returned to others when they are waiting for the beginning of spring, Hu Shuo doesn't want these things."

When the yard was decided, Hu Shuo had already thrown all the furniture and other things to Bian Rui, and Bian Rui couldn't use these furniture to fool Hu Shuo's friend, so he decided to make a new one, without any expensive materials, and no need for any fancy shapes, simplicity and generosity are the standards set by Bian Rui for Hu Shuo's batch of furniture.

Now these furniture, there are Chinese-style, there are commonly used in rural homes, as well as two folding stools, and four Western-style high-backed stools, I don't know who is so stupid to buy such a stool, this thing is to look foreign, if you sit on it for less than half an hour, then you must have a sore back.

"You only have one mouth left, why don't you do some?" Bian Rui's mother was very displeased with her son's behavior of not working and stirring up trouble, and opened her mouth to scold.

Bian Rui took a look: "I'll go back and see, what other ingredients are at home, but there can be a long table, and there is no problem for more than a dozen people to eat on it."

"Then what are you still doing in a daze?" Yan Lan asked.

Bian Rui was stunned for a moment and rubbed his stomach: "I haven't eaten yet."

"You tell us what to do without eating, we've all eaten, you can go back and get some cushions for yourself." Who made you drink such a literal wine? I don't know how to take care of my body at all" Yan Lan was very dissatisfied with Bian Rui's drunkenness last night.

Bian Rui had to smile shyly: "I was wrong, I won't drink so much next time, and I blame the wine of the tenth brother's family, saying that there is no degree, but this stamina is really too big......."

Bian Rui didn't expect that he could get drunk, what everyone drank last night was not ordinary liquor, that is, about thirty degrees, and it tasted a little sweet, everyone drank it as a drink at first, who knew that everyone was drunk unconsciously. If it's really liquor, Bian Rui must be able to control the amount.

"If you drink high, you will drink high, what is the reason, someone will still send you to drink this year? Xiaolan, next time if he drinks too much, he won't let him in, just throw it outside and freeze to death," Bian Rui's mother said.

"Mom, I'm your own son, don't be so ruthless, right?" Bian Rui smiled bitterly.

Bian Rui's mother said: "I have always said that drinking in moderation is not good for the body at all."

"I know, not next time," Bian Rui said.

To be honest, Bian Rui is not a drunkard, he has to drink himself down to be cool, Bian Rui doesn't drink a few times a year here, unless a friend comes over, or a festival or something to drink with the elders, otherwise he won't have anything to drink two glasses of himself.

Bian Rui's mother also knows that her son is not a good drinker, she said this mainly because she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be angry with her son because of this matter, to be honest, her husband came home drunk like a dog, and no daughter-in-law would feel happy, and it was normal to lose her temper. Normally, it's just that, but now Yan Lan's body is so expensive, so Bian Rui's mother had to train her son first, so that her daughter-in-law was angry.

"Then go back to dinner, and get your big table by the way, I don't think this table will be enough this year," said Bian Rui's mother.

Bian Rui's family is seven, plus the old father-in-law's mother-in-law is nine, and Jinglu is ten when he joins in, this is still normal, if Mo Sheng's family comes in, then it will be thirteen, it is obvious that it is impossible to sit so many people at the big round table now, if so many people can be seated, others will not throw it away.

"Nothing ready to eat?" Bian Rui asked.

Bian Rui is a little hungry, but if he is the only one, he really can't be interested in cooking, because it's not easy to cook at all, you can't eat it if you do too much, not to mention how to cook less, it's just how to cook a person's normal amount of food, the rice is not covered with the bottom of the pot, how can this rice be steamed?

"It's almost half past one now, how can there be anything to eat" Bian Rui's mother-in-law finished with a smile, thought for a while and said: "If you don't eat some small fruits, it's fried with noodles here."

"One o'clock?" Bian Rui was stunned for a moment, when he came out, he looked at the clock and it was still eleven o'clock, why was it just one o'clock?

"What time do you think it is?" asked Bian Rui's mother.

Bian Rui rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, and found that it was really a little, so he felt a little strange in his heart.

"Okay, then I'll go home and see what to eat, and everyone will eat here at night, right?" Bian Rui asked.

"Well, the first meal tonight, you don't need to be in charge of the spoon, the two of us plus Jinglu, you will wait for dinner tonight, by the way, you still have a task, make a big table," Bian Rui's mother said.

Bian Rui nodded, got out of the yard and rode home on a small motorcycle.

As soon as I arrived at the intersection, I found movement behind me, and turned my head to see the car of the old man's house.

Now Rui feels strange, the pearl that the old couple only returned two days ago, originally said to come back after the New Year, and the fastest will be the fifth day of the new year, why do you come back now?

Originally, Bian Rui thought that the old couple had brought their family over, but when he looked behind the car, he didn't find any other cars, and the doubts in his heart were even greater.

In less than a minute, the car drove next to Bian Rui and stopped.

It's not the old man who drives, but the old lady.

"Auntie, why are you two coming back again?" Bian Rui waited for the window to open, and stretched out his head to see that except for the old lady, the old man Wu who was sitting in the co-seat was the whole old man, as if someone owed the old man ten dollars.

"Mingzhu is gone, what are we going to do if we don't come back, how cool it is over there" The old lady's face was not very good.

"Yo, who is angry with you two, I said don't be angry, you are here today, everyone is celebrating the New Year together, four or five families are together, it must be more lively than a family" Bian Rui said with a smile.

Bian Rui doesn't need to ask much, it must be the cost that is good, the old man's children will return to China with their children, and everyone will have a reunion year or something. I don't know which link went wrong, and the old couple came back angrily. Compared with the elation when he left, now it is like a defeated army.

"That's good! It just so happens that I have a lot of New Year's goods here" Old Man Wu stretched out his hand and pointed behind him, Bian Rui glanced at it, and found that the good guy, the whole back was full of piles.

"Then you hurry back and rest, we will eat together in the evening, and I'll wait here to get a table," Bian Rui said.

"Go ahead and get busy, we're all at the door," said the old lady.

Bian Rui chatted a few more words, and then turned around and went back to the village, while the old man and the old lady turned the car into the fork in the road and entered the road leading to the small courtyard community.

Back at home, Bian Rui first looked at the clock on the wall, only to find that the clock was not wrong, but stopped at all, and the pointer kept pointing at more than one point, not at all that Bian Rui was wrong.

The clock didn't move, that is, there was no power, Bian Rui took the clock off the wall and replaced it with a new battery, and sure enough, the ticking bell rang again.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Bian Rui found that his mother had sent some balls in the morning, including meat and vegetables, as well as some white steamed buns, so Bian Rui took a few meat balls, cooked a ball soup for himself, and messed up his stomach with two steamed buns.

Bian Rui said that there are materials, it is really there, but it is obviously not good to use it to make a table, because it is too luxurious, this is a generous table, and it is also for personal use, it is too exaggerated to make mahogany, it is better to use ordinary materials.

Bian Rui opened a few locust tree materials, and used full mortise and tenon to make the table, and there was nothing fancy, straight to the point, because the table was too long, almost four meters and five meters long, one hundred and fifty centimeters wide, so the bottom had to use stiffeners, and ribs had to be used. Fortunately, Bian Rui is proficient, and he has practiced his hands from the two sets of furniture that Zhou Zheng and Hu Shuo got married, plus with the help of machines, as for the meticulous work, such as punching holes and making tenon joints or something, it is all made in the space.

In this way, it took more than three hours before and after, and Bian Rui made a long table that could be used by seventeen or eighteen people.

The next thing is to transport it, the tenon joint can be divided very fine, not like using nails or something, if it is too broken and too fine, then the assembly is not as strong as the whole root, the Chinese craftsmanship is the more pinned tighter, the more you use this table, the stronger it is, as long as you don't go to man-made damage, and properly maintained, it is not a problem to pass on for hundreds of years.

Disassembled and transported by tricycle, a tricycle was picked up a few times with a rope, and a large long table was safely pulled by Bian Rui to the Banpo courtyard.
