Chapter 0037: The Burden of Craftsmanship
After Weiyang's father returned from his studies, the first thing he did was to change a decent style for his own door, because the previous gate was too old-fashioned, and changing the new gate would naturally keep up with the pace of the times.
As a result, this new set of doors became the only culprit that later cut off the connection between Weiyang and the world.
All of this is attributed to the father and mother.
Weiyang's father made the gate very clear, because he thought: first, the gate symbolizes the façade of the family; Second, it can also play a role in some publicity.
As soon as the people of Weijia Village saw the beautiful big wooden door of Weiyang's house, they would definitely ask which skillful carpenter made it, and Weiyang would proudly say, "It's climbing, climbing." Then, everyone would come to the door one after another and ask Weiyang's father to do it for them door-to-door.
Such examples were not uncommon in Weijia Village at that time.
Then again, Weiyang's father has this craft, he can help the people of Weijia Village do carpentry work, and then, how much can he make a little money from it, for him who is poor, needless to say, at this time the whole person has to be more energetic, and it is not a problem to support the family.
The benefits of knowing a craft don't end there.
Once Weiyang's father has money in his hands, then Weiyang's mother will not say that he is incompetent, an honest person, or ridicule him.
However, stories are often thought of as perfect at the beginning, like a full dream.
Unexpectedly, the story in real life, once the cruel reality is measured in a series of weights, and the remaining bones-like things are the most real part of the story.
The story of the father of the sheep is such a story.
At this time, when Weiyang was not very sensible, or at this time, there were not many people who did carpentry work.
In addition, Weiyang's father is in Weijia Village, but he is a well-known honest man, therefore, the men and women of Weijia Village, old and young, all look down on him, and when they ask Weiyang's father to do wood work for them, they are almost reluctant to spend a penny, because they look at people, not crafts, just like a dog, they look at the owner of the dog, not the dog itself.
At the beginning, Weiyang's father was asked by his brother Weibiao to do carpentry work.
In view of the initial training period, Weiyang's father only made simple daily household items, such as a rolling pin, a steamer frame, a chopping board, and a small pony stool for eating.
Weiyang's father knew that he was not good at learning, and he didn't dare to exaggerate a single centimeter without authorization, so as not to make people laugh. Moreover, he also knew that that would not only desecrate the spirit unique to him as an artist, but also lose his master's face.
After he made a simple rolling pin for his brother-in-law, he would be left for lunch, or for dinner in the evening.
When I go home, I don't forget to make some fine noodles and steamed buns for my son.
Sometimes I also bring some other things, for example, leftover broth, for example, melon seeds and walnuts.
Of course, Wei Biao sometimes generously gave Wei Yang's father a piece of waste wood, because he knew that he would always have a way to turn it into treasure.
Sometimes relatives find that the rolling pins made by his father are strong, durable, and delicate.
So they would come to the door every now and then and ask him to make them a small stool or something, because once there is a precedent for things like wooden work, those relatives will naturally come to the door to ask for it, after all, it is because they are afraid of hurting their feelings.
Moreover, Weiyang's father himself also knew the importance of the relationship between the relatives - looking up and not looking down, so it was always difficult to refuse in person, and it was not good to use any excuse to thank him, because he himself was very honest, and his tongue was as stiff as a piece of iron.
He knows that many people are sophisticated, but they don't know how to be flexible, so it is not surprising that he is often scolded by Weiyang's mother as an honest person.
He is always on call, and he will run to do it for them one by one. Then, naturally, they will stay for a meal, and then bring some bits and pieces of food to Weiyang.
In this way, Weiyang's father had a period of time, almost a day, and just finished cooking the family's small stool, and before he had time to eat, he was called away by other relatives.
All day long, I was so busy that I was dizzy.
