Since the ancestors fled to Zhang'an, the Gao family has been in a situation of low prosperity, several generations, either a single seedling, or a number of heirs or a few children, can not open a few branches, in the end are a single lineage, until Gao Youxian brothers, only to divide the branches.

Gao Youcai inherited the tradition of his ancestors, only Gao Feng had a son, and he was a late son, but he was spoiled and hurt him, turning him into a well-known gangster, and there was no girl who fell in love with him at the age of nearly nineteen, let alone get married and have children, and pass on the ancestry.

Gao Youcai is not good, but Gao Youxian has made great achievements, giving birth to three sons and a daughter, and even the second son Gao Jiang has a son.

Gao Hai and his wife have been married for six or seven years, Li Wenjuan has not moved, and the couple is also very helpless, and even saw the doctor for this, but the doctor couldn't see the reason, and prescribed a lot of tonic medicine for them, but the medicine was taken a lot, but the result was still nothing. After a few years, although the couple has not let go of this, they no longer insist on it, hoping that one day there will be a miracle.

Gao Jiang is two years older than Gao Feng, and he has been married for three years, his wife is Wang Jianjiao of Wang Zhai, the younger couple is good, and he gave birth to a fat boy in the second year of marriage, so the Gao family has the third generation.

Gao Youxian's daughter is called Gao Xia, the same age as Gao Feng, and the month is two months older than Gao Feng, so Gao Feng calls her sister. Gao Xia has been married for more than a year, married to the Hu family in Shaoji, and also has a belly, which is about to give birth, and it is considered to have a foothold in the old Hu family.

Gao Hu is two years younger than Gao Feng, and Dai Jingfang of Daizhuang has been engaged, and he will be able to marry after the year.

A big family, the saddest thing is the peak, not only did no girl fall in love with him, but even a matchmaker did not come to the door, Gao Youcai was very distressed about this, but there was no way at all, after all, no one was willing to push their own girl into the kang.

I didn't think about getting married. He comes from the 21st century, in that era, in addition to the policy of late marriage and late childbearing, there are many practical problems to be faced by marriage, so there are many people who have not married in their thirties. He is not yet nineteen years old, he can only be regarded as an adult, let's talk about marriage later, he doesn't want to be forced by others to marry someone he doesn't like.

Of course, Gao Feng's idea is very different from the current one, because it is not too early to get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and it is not uncommon to marry at the age of twelve or thirteen, after all, there is no talk of protecting minors at this time.

……

Even if Gao Youcai and his wife tried their best to help Gao Feng cover up, Gao Youxian and the others still learned from between the lines that they made Gao Feng angry, and everyone couldn't help but denounce Gao Feng, Gao Youxian even scolded Gao Feng for his unfilial piety, if Gao Feng hadn't boiled medicine outside, he would have been ready to slap him twice in person.

Scolding enough, angry enough, Gao Youxian led his family to say goodbye and leave, they still have work to do, staying here doesn't make a difference, it's better to go home and work. Gao Hai and his wife wanted to go home to get tools and left together.

Sending everyone away under a cold and disdainful gaze, Gao Feng took out the medicine and served it to the old man to drink, and told them to pay attention to their bodies, and then returned to the courtyard to pack up the wood.

……

As an old carpenter, Gao Youcai still has some wood, which is why he didn't buy wood at the market during the peak. Of course, these woods are all from local trees and are not precious, with poplar, elm and locust trees being the main ones, with a small amount of sycamore and mulberry wood.

Gaofeng chose locust wood. The growth cycle of locust wood is long, the hardness is large, the stability is good, the texture is uniform and straight, heavier, not easy to deform and corrode, compared with several other kinds of wood, in the absence of better anti-corrosion, anti-insect, anti-cracking and other treatment means, the furniture made of locust wood should be the most durable.

After choosing two straight and thick round locust trees, Gao Feng took out the tools of Gao Youcai again.

Gao Youcai works alone, but he has all kinds of tools, such as saws, planers, chisels, adzes, axes, rope drills, ink fountains, wooden rulers, etc.

Among them, there are six or seven kinds of saws, including double saws, large saws, second saws, knife saws, and saws; There are seven or eight kinds of planers, including flat planers, second planers, net planers, line planers, groove planers, etc.; The number of chisels is even larger, and there are more than ten kinds of chisels, round chisels, flat chisels and shovel chisels, and they are even subdivided by size.

Although there are many tools, but they are very simple, Gao Feng can't help but admire the ancients, with such tools can create a thousand-year-old Chinese civilization, it can be seen how great the spirit of the Chinese people is to bear hardships and stand hard work.

Gao Feng, who had worked as a carpenter, had been reinstated in his knowledge, so he knew that China's thousands of years of history were inseparable from carpentry.

Whether it is a time of war or a time of peace, whether it is economic development or cultural progress, whether it is a palace or a bridge facility, there is the shadow of carpentry, not to mention the basic needs of the family, it can be said that carpentry is one of the greatest types of work that has accompanied and witnessed the development and evolution of history, and has also made great contributions to it.

It is remarkable that the ancients accomplished one after another with such simple tools, and they are undoubtedly more respectable than later generations who used electric, pneumatic, large, medium, small and even micro tools.

Behind the achievements are sadness and blood and sweat, and the figure of the pioneering work hides a piece of tragedy. Gao Feng clearly realized that the development of carpentry is also a history of blood and sweat.

Gao Feng didn't want to pay too much attention to the evolution and development of carpentry, but he was interested in promoting the improvement of his tools, of course, this was based on the fact that when the conditions were right, at least for now, he could not do anything about it.

As soon as Gao Feng finished sorting out the tools, Gao Hai and his wife came, and when they saw the tools all over the ground, Gao Hai asked in surprise, "This is what Uncle asked you to prepare?" ”

Gao Feng smiled and did not answer. He is really not good at answering this sentence, if it is said that Gao Youcai prepared it, the fact is not, if it is not, Gao Hai will definitely have more ideas, such a neat and regular way of placement, it must be an expert to do it, Gao Feng has never studied carpenter, naturally he is not an expert, not even a layman, at most he has the reputation of a carpenter's son.

Gao Feng just wanted Gao Hai to guess by himself, and even misunderstood it better, saving himself from wasting saliva to make unexplained explanations.

Gao Hai really misunderstood. He decided that Gao Youcai must have explained to Gao Feng before, and even explained what he did, if so, as long as Gao Feng could express it clearly, he didn't need to ask the teacher again.

Seeing that it was not early, Gao Feng said to Li Wenjuan: "Sister-in-law, you have all eaten here these days, and I have to trouble you when cooking, as for needlework, let's talk about it after dinner." ”

Li Wenjuan heard that there was still food to eat, so she was even more happy, and said busily: "My aunt is sick, of course I'm here to cook, I'll cook first, you can discuss things." ”

Seeing Li Wenjuan leave, Gao Feng pulled Gao Hai to a clearing, picked up a thin branch on the ground and said while drawing: "What my father asked us to make is very simple, that is, to make a few shelves, and its shape and size are in the picture." ”

Gao Hai looked at the figure suspiciously and asked, "Is it really Uncle Rang?" ”
