Chapter 44: Carpentry (Quest for Reading)

When Xu Deyong entered the front yard, he heard the cry of the little stick terrier looking for his mother.

The three mothers' eyes flickered, and the corners of their mouths had a meaningful gossip smile.

Xu Deyong Nunu gestured and said, "Three mothers, what's wrong?" ”

The three mothers lowered their voices and said with their eyebrows flying: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are arguing." ”

"Yo, tell me." Xu Deyong said very knowingly.

So the three mothers chattered colorfully.

The matter is very simple, Jia Zhang's dislikes Qin Huairu for having nothing to do at home, and she nagged endlessly, wanting her to go out and find some work to subsidize the family.

But Qin Huairu, a little daughter-in-law from the countryside, knows how to make wool, and she can't even paste matchboxes, after all, they have Jia Dongxu as a worker at home, so she can't carry a big bag.

Qin Huairu also endured it for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't hold back, didn't you count it yourself? Why do you still have the face to talk about her!

The most difficult thing to deal with in this world is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Jia Dongxu was not at home, so he persuaded his aunt to say a few words, but it was useless.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled for a while, but in the end, Qin Huairu was defeated by Jia Zhang's and retreated.

"Tut-tut......." Xu Deyong shook his head and said: "It's not natural for this guy to raise a girl, and so is this Jia Zhang's family, and he hasn't been working all the time." ”

"Not really." The three mothers echoed: "I don't know what is wrong with this Jia Zhang, if you can find a suitable job, who doesn't want to make more money." ”

Xu Deyong blinked, this Jia Zhang won't let himself be stimulated, right?

He doesn't carry this pot either!

Bidding farewell to the three mothers, Xu Deyong staggered into the middle courtyard, and at this time Jia Zhang had already carried the little stick terrier into the house, and the little stick terrier was howling in the house.

Compared with mom and grandma, the little stick terrier definitely likes mom, grandma left mom angry, it's strange that he doesn't cry.

Xu Deyong said hello to an aunt, and an aunt sighed and went back to the house.

For an aunt who has a gynecological disease and can't have a child, she has an inferiority complex in her heart, and she has been playing the image of a good person in the hospital, and her sense of existence is not strong.

Xu Deyong returned home, the time was only four o'clock, there was no mobile phone, no TV, and it was not much fun to listen to the ore radio.

He looked around the house with his hands on his waist, and the furniture at home was always old enough, but it was worthless, it was all poplar and pine.

What mahogany and huanghuali appear in this house, I also imagine that the old lady in the backyard can't keep it in her house, after all, when Jia Zhang's family married in, she was already the "ancestor" in this courtyard.

Xu Deyong finally set his eyes on the dilapidated window.

Yes, it's up to you, do it yourself.

He had already seen that the window was not pleasing to the eye, one piece of glass was broken, pasted with paper, and the other piece was also cracked, and he was reluctant to change it.

He pulled out the toolbox left by his grandfather from under the bed, and there were two saws, one coarse sawing to cut large materials, and the other thin sawing to cut small materials.

It's a pity that I don't have a pull saw, and I can't see it out if I want a beautiful shape, so I'll visit the consignment store tomorrow to see if I can buy an old one.

Find the small file and refile the serration to break the front.

He also found a whetstone and sharpened the planer and chisel again.

There is a saying: "Three years of axe, one year of planing, three days to learn to be a renovator." ”

In the days when there were no chainsaws, the wood was made by the master carpenter to make the basic wood, and then the master carpenter processed all kinds of exquisite furniture.

Xu Deyong has no chainsaw or table saw, so he can only rely on manual work.

Starting from a log, it was made by hand, and it was the first time he had done so, after all, all kinds of tools in his previous life were not too convenient.

He took out a charcoal pen and a wooden ruler and measured the various dimensions of the windows.

The window is the simplest, just a frame, connected by four pieces of wood.

It's easy to say, but it's hard to start, especially if you don't, especially if you start with a log.

When he was ready, he picked up a suitable piece of wood from the corner of the wall, sawed it and made it into a simple and sturdy wooden bench, which was equivalent to his working platform.

Subsequently, depending on the size of the window frame, the remaining wood is sawn into short sections.

Then use an ink fountain to play the thread, fix it on the bench, and pull the saw to break the wood into long strips.

Thanks to Xu Deyong's strength, durability, and steadyness, the lack of skill in decomposing wood was offset by his strength, otherwise this job would be really difficult.

The first time, stumbling and waiting to break down the wood into strips, the rest is easy.

Use a planer to plane the surface of the wooden strips.

"Snort, snort, sneer......."

Rolls of shavings fall.

Liu Guangfu came back from playing outside, and was immediately attracted, this goods went to school in the 'two-part system' primary school, only had a noon class, and went out to play crazy in the afternoon.

"Brother Deyong, what are you doing here?" He asked curiously.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Make a window." ”

Liu Guangfu looked at it for a while, unbelievably unconscious.

He put his hand in his pocket, suddenly his eyes lit up, he bit his lip and said, "Brother Deyong, can you help me make a spinning top?" ”

Xu Deyong raised his head and looked at the sky, ready to call it a day, and said, "Make a spinning top?" Yes, you have steel balls? ”

"I have steel balls." Liu Guangfu grinned, stretched out his hand from his pocket and spread it out, "This is what I picked up on the street today." ”

No matter what happens to him in the future, he is still only an eight-year-old child, and it is quite sad to have a father like him in the bangs!

Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Yes, help me carry the planed wooden strips into the corridor, and then sweep the floor." ”

You can talk well, but you can only gain if you pay.

"Okay."

It's all within his ability, and when Liu Guangfu heard that Xu Deyong was willing to make a spinning top for him, he immediately agreed to move his hands.

Xu Deyong naturally spoke, found a thin locust wood, sawed down a small piece of smooth top, found a hand-cranked wooden drill, and pulled the wooden pole to drill a small hole in the middle.

Then use a chisel to cut the wood into a cone, Xu Deyong's hands are strong enough, and he can easily cut it into the shape he wants, so he made the spinning top very neat and beautiful within the scope of his ability, and finally carved the word 'Fu' on it.

Liu Guangfu swept the sawdust while seeing the spinning top formed, and his smile was about to open.

At this time, Xu Nanshi came back from outside with a smile on his face, and when he saw the door, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Xiaoyong, what are you doing?" ”

Xu Deyong said: "This window is too old and has cracked, I am going to make a new one, and buy two pieces of glass to replace it, and the house is not bright." ”

"You do?" Xu Nanshi expressed doubts.

Xu Deyong said innocently: "Ah, I have made several window frames, carpentry, it's very simple." ”

Xu Nanshi: "......"

Yes, love it, anyway, it doesn't cost you to do it yourself.

She glanced at Liu Guangfu and said, "Then I'll cook, you can fiddle with it." ”

So saying, he went into the house.

"Bring the balls." Xu Deyong stretched out his hand to Liu Guangfu and said.

"Ugh." Liu Guangfu was a little afraid of Xu Nan's, he didn't say a word before, but he listened to Xu Deyong's mouth, and immediately agreed to send steel balls.

Xu Deyong put the steel ball on the drilled hole, knocked it in with a chisel, and a spinning top was ready.

Find a wooden stick and tie it with hemp rope or strips of cloth, and you can smoke it vigorously, especially on the ice, you can draw it from east to west and from south to north.

At this moment, a loud shout made Xu Deyong also startled.

"Liu Guangfu, what are you doing here!"

Bangs, his face was full of majesty, and he strode over with his eyes wide.

Liu Guangfu was frightened, and stammered: "Dad, I'...... I'll let Brother Deyong give it to ...... Make a spinning top and sweep the floor by the way. ”

Liu Haizhong said sharply: "I know how to play every day, if you can use this energy to study, and fail every exam?" Go home for Lao Tzu immediately, or I won't be able to kill you if I turn around. ”

Yes, the spinning top was not drawn, but he had to be pumped, which was unlucky to urge the child!

Liu Guangfu gave Xu Deyong a pleading look, and ran home like a mouse meeting a cat.

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Deyong with a little smile and said: "Deyong, you can also do carpentry, I didn't know you had so many skills!" ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I understand a little bit, second uncle, you see a smile." ”

"Hmm." Bangs in the nose out of the nose and said: "The second uncle has to say a word to you, do carpentry, do carpentry, don't make gadgets to coax children to work, children should focus on learning." ”

Xu Deyong's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "Second uncle, are you teaching me a lesson?" ”
