Chapter 63: The Fifth Carpenter
Because they were going to Liu's Mansion to say thank you, Xuewuya got out of school a little earlier than usual, Tan Xiaotian and Tian Qingyou's first feeling when they went home was that Yuelai Inn seemed to be much more lively than usual, and they didn't see Boss Tian move a chair to bask in the sun at the door of the store, but they saw that most of the people who came in and out were familiar faces in the town, and there were more than a dozen chairs in the open space at the door, I don't know why.
"Uncle Xiaowu, you don't see wood at home, why do you have time to come to my house? Is it because the business is not good and you come to do odd jobs? Seeing the fifth child who was repairing a chair with tools in the open space at the door, Tian Qingyou asked strangely - there are a few old chairs in the inn, which squeak and sway a little when you sit on them, and my mother asked my father to find time to repair (nothing more than to nail a few nails and let the loose places stop shaking), but my father dragged on, today and tomorrow, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, in short, I was too lazy to get it, saying that anyway, those chairs are too old, rather than spending time to repair them, It's better to wait for the rain to break down and simply replace it with a new one, since Dad is playing this idea, he shouldn't spend money to hire someone to repair it, right? Uncle Xiao Wu is the best carpenter in Meilong Town, and the fees have never been cheap, this kind of thing that can be solved by tinkering by himself, is my father who has always loved money willing to do it? And then again, it's too big to do this kind of work with Uncle Xiaowu's craftsmanship, right?
"Go, stupid boy, even if I have to do odd jobs, I won't come to your house to look for work, and I don't look at your father, I've been busy for so long that I haven't even seen a bowl of tea, this is too picky!" Seeing that Tian Qingyou was back, the fifth child snorted angrily - he promised to help take charge of the tables and chairs that Tian Dayou wanted to open a chess room, so he sent eight chairs over, thinking that four chess tables with eight chairs would be enough, who would think that Tian Daqing would have to inch in, saying that there can't just be a place to sit when playing chess, and people watching chess can't stand all the time, right? So let him handily fix a few chairs in case he needs them. Repairing tables and chairs was a piece of cake for a full-time carpenter like him, so he agreed without thinking about it (it's better to fix the old chairs than to let him move a few new ones from home, right?). But who would have thought that Tian Dayou took the opportunity to find out all the faulty chairs in the inn and let him repair them, fake public and private, shrewd to this extent, so that the fifth child is sighing to himself, and he has the intention to not do it, the problem is that he has promised to be in charge of the tables and chairs in the chess room before, and he will not do it at this time, wouldn't it make others mistakenly think that his words don't count? There was no way, in order to win the qualification of the class representative, he could only endure it.
"Yes, hehe, Uncle Xiaowu, don't worry, I'll go in and tell my dad to go." Tian Qingyou's brain turned quite fast in this regard, and he immediately smiled and said to the fifth child, like that, it seems that he can really discipline his father.
"Cut, you, like your father, are just a mouthful, just talk about it and don't practice, the biggest thing is to brag, hey, who is this little guy, I don't seem to have seen it before." The fifth child sneered at Tian Qingyou's assurance, turned his head, and found Tan Xiaotian standing next to him, he asked curiously.
"He is Tian Tian, the nephew of Aunt Qiu Ju." Tian Qingyou introduced.
"Aunt Qiu Ju, oh, you're talking about the big girl in the backyard, right? Hehe, every day, what is the name? Knowing that it was the nephew of the newly arrived woman who was quite good-looking at the Yuelai Inn, the fifth child's attitude almost immediately took a 180-degree turn, and he asked Tan Xiaotian with a smile.
"My big name is Tan Xiaotian." Tan Xiaotian replied.
"Tan Xiaotian, hehe, the name is good, and there is an aura when you listen to it." Lao Wu praised with a smile.
Nimbus? Why didn't I feel it?
Listening to the praise of the fifth child, Tian Qingyou was puzzled, this little fifth uncle has always had a bad temper, and he always likes to twist with others when he speaks, why is he so good to Tan Xiaotian today?
When he was wondering, the figure flickered, and a person walked out of the inn, carrying a coarse porcelain teapot in one hand and a white porcelain tea bowl in the other, "Fifth brother, are you tired?" Take a break and have a bowl of tea. The voice is sweet and the body is slender, the so-called Cao Cao Cao is here, and it is Tan Xiaotian's aunt Qiu Ju who comes.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, big sister is so good, I'm thirsty." Seeing that it was Qiu Ju, Lao Wu's smile was even softer, and he hurriedly put down the hammer, wiped and wiped his two hands on the clean part of his clothes, and then stretched out his hands to pick up the tea bowl handed over by the other party, waiting for the other party to pour tea.
"Auntie", "Aunt Qiu", the two children shouted at the same time.
"Oh, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing that the two children who were in school came back, Qiu Ju asked casually while pouring tea for the fifth child.
"The chess set has been sent to Xuewu, and Mr. Yuan said that he was going to Liu's house to express his gratitude, so let's come back a little earlier." Tan Xiaotian replied.
"In this way, I should thank people, more than a dozen chess sets, it should be a lot of money." Qiu Ju agreed.
When the tea was full, Lao Wu raised his neck and drank it in one gulp - the manual laborer was very cheerful in talking and doing things, and after working for half a day, he was really thirsty.
"Another bowl?" Seeing that the fifth child was drinking freely, Qiu Ju smiled, raised the teapot in his hand and asked.
"Uh, okay, then another bowl." Somehow, the carpenter Lao Wu, who has always been articulate and likes to quarrel with Tian Dayi when he has nothing to do, suddenly became a stammer, his expression looked very strange, and even his movements were a little uncoordinated.
What's going on?
The two children next to him both felt very strange - a man with five big and three thick arms, whose arms were almost thicker than their thighs, who had just spoken in a rough and atmospheric voice, and who had a solid foundation, why did he suddenly become tender and red?
Qiu Ju poured another bowl of tea for the fifth child, this time the fifth child didn't drink it so quickly, as if he was afraid that the people would leave after the tea was drunk.
Qiu Ju didn't urge, put the teapot aside first, leaned down to check the chair that had just been repaired, shook it, shook it, it was very strong, almost immovable.
"Fifth brother, your craftsmanship is really good." Qiu Ju praised.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a simple repair, it's a convenient thing, it's not worth mentioning." When it came to his own profession, Lao Wu was very proud and replied as a matter of course.
"Cut, just now I thought my father asked me to repair too many chairs, so I bragged about it again, and it changed after a while, and I was still an adult!" Witnessing the fifth child's face-changing technique, Tian Qingyou muttered in a low voice.
