Chapter 131 Your Taoer is also getting married
"Sister-in-law, who ordered this cabinet? If the pattern is so exquisite, why did you ask for it in such a hurry?"
After laughing, the two began to be curious again.
"This cabinet belongs to Li Bangchun. He came here in a hurry last night. He said he wanted a set of cabinets to be made urgently. His second son said that he would get married on the 18th!" Sister Li kept working while talking to them.
"So urgent?" The two counted on their fingers and realized that there were only six days left until the age of eighteen.
"Yes, he came to order these furniture, but we couldn't ask him in detail. By the way, did they come to invite you?"
"Never."
The two thought that with the popularity of these two original bodies, no one would be willing to invite them.
"Then it must be that they haven't had time to invite anyone. Li Bangchun is really something. Everyone has a wedding in the cold winter when farmers are not busy, but he chooses to get married in the busy summer when farmers are busy." Sister Li was still a little confused.
"Why do you care about other people's affairs? What if the fortune teller predicts the day?" Carpenter Li didn't want his wife to discuss other people's family affairs too much.
"That's right. Although there are fewer marriages in summer, there are still some. I just don't know which village his second son married. I don't go to the village often, so I haven't heard of any marriage negotiations with any family."
"We don't interact with them much, so we're not very clear about it."
If Carpenter Li’s wife hadn’t mentioned it today, they would have never remembered that there was a person named Zhao Bangchun in the village.
"Let's not talk about their family. What are you going to attack this time?"
"That's right. We would like to ask Brother Li to make eight sets of tables and chairs for us." The two men stated their purpose.
"Eight sets?"
"Could it be that your Tao'er is getting married too? She is indeed not young anymore. Which family did you choose? Could it be Li Bangchun's family? But there is no need to make a new table. When holding banquets in the village, your family borrows from my family and my family borrows from your family. Why spend this money?"
Sister Li thought she had guessed it right and started talking to herself.
The two of them were speechless. It seemed that she thought they were going to take the tables and chairs back to prepare the banquet.
"No, no, it's not the kind of table for eating. It's the small single-person table in the school."
"Ah~that kind of table." Sister Li was a little embarrassed.
"What do you want to order so many tables for the school for?" Carpenter Li also turned his head curiously.
"We asked the village chief to take us little kids and teach us how to read and write."
Carpenter Li paused and almost chopped his thumb with the knife in his hand. These two old women wanted to send their children to school?
The whole family was stunned.
"Yes, we came to ask Big Brother to make the wine steamer before so that we could sell something. We thought that if the business could be established in the future, since no one in the family could read, we would just believe what others said and would not know if we were cheated. So we might as well send all the fools in the family to learn how to read."
They didn't say anything, so the two of them could only explain a few more words.
The family finally came to their senses.
"It's good to know how to read. We wanted Tiantong to go to school back then, but the kid came back after two days and refused to go anymore. He said he wanted to learn carpentry from his father. Now he will be the same as his father all his life." Sister Li sighed.
"I just don't like reading those words. It gives me a headache. I just like to follow my dad to do carpentry work. I'm doing quite well now." Li Tiantong protested in a dissatisfied voice when his mother said that carpenters were not good.
"There's nothing wrong with being a carpenter. Look at how good Tiantong's skills are. I'm sure he will be even better than me in the future. Sister-in-law, just wait and enjoy your life."
With a skill to rely on, they will never starve to death. The two of them don't care whether their child will achieve something famous in his studies.
"That's right. This child takes after his father in this respect." Sister Li was also quite proud.
"That's fine. We won't delay your business. Brother Li, you can help us when you are free. When it is done, ask Tiantong to call us and we will carry it. Sister-in-law, how much do you think the deposit should be?"
Now that the matter was said, the two of them didn't plan to stay here and chat any longer.
"Okay! I'll do yours right after I finish this one. No need for a deposit or anything. Don't you think I can trust you?" Carpenter Li was also straightforward.
"Sure, let's go back first."
The two of them didn't bother about the deposit anymore, as they had established some trust after two transactions.
As soon as they left, Sister Li did the math in her mind.
"No, eight people. Does this mean that even Dashu's wife has to go to school?"
Carpenter Li also came to his senses and said, yes, eight people, that includes Xu Hui Niang.
Where in this village can you find such a good mother-in-law who also teaches her daughter-in-law to learn to read and write? Xu Hui Niang married really well.
After visiting Carpenter Li, today's business has come to an end.
When I got home, the children had not come back yet.
So the two of them decided not to go in and went to Chen Fangping's yard to see what was going on.
Chen Fangping's yard is located at the entrance of the village, a little further up.
When the two arrived, the children had almost finished packing.
"Mom, aunt, this house is so well built." Seeing them coming, Mei'er put down the broom in her hand.
The two walked around the house. The house was built not long ago and was indeed very new and spacious. It would be a waste to use it as a warehouse.
But they still didn't dare to live here. After all, after what they had experienced, even the most determined materialist fighters were no longer determined.
"Yes, how is the cleanup going?"
"This room is quite new, there is nothing to clean, so we just swept the dust and wiped the tables, chairs and benches. It's almost done now."
The two of them took the children and moved all the things out of the room near the door so that they could move the things directly in when Mr. Jiang's people came to deliver them.
After cleaning up, there is nothing else to do.
Zheng Yuan asked Sizhu to guard the entrance of the village, and when the people who came to deliver things came, he would ask them to deliver the things here, and then go back and ask them to move the things.
There were many children at the entrance of the village, and Sizhu was happy to go find his friends, so naturally no one objected.
The last task today is to make a brush.
"Big Tree, have you ever seen the Fragrant Concubine Bamboo when you went up the mountain before?" Thinking that these children didn't know what Fragrant Concubine Bamboo was, Duan Minmin added, "It's thin, with long and straight bamboo joints, different from the pillar we brought back that day."
Several children were thinking about this kind of bamboo in their minds.
"I seem to have seen it when I went to Baiyangwa to cut water celery before." Xu Hui Niang spoke hesitantly. She was not very sure.
The other children didn’t say anything? I guess they had never seen it before.
"Okay, Dashu, go get the hatchet, and you and Hui Niang will go with me to take a look. The rest of you stay at home and tidy up the pig hair that we didn't use up."
After taking care of things at home, the two of them took Dashu and Hui Niang and headed towards the Baiyangwa she mentioned.
I had thought the place to dig wild vegetables would be far away, but it took me half an hour to get there. After walking so much today, my legs started to ache again.
Fortunately, Xu Hui Niang's memory was correct. There really was a clump of excellent Xiangfei bamboo growing on the hillside beside the depression. So the trip was not in vain.
This place was already deep in the mountains, so the few people did not dare to stay for long. They quickly selected some bamboos, cut them down, and walked back.
But they dare not stay in this mountain. Not to mention tigers and leopards, with their fighting power, even a small wild boar can kill them all.
