Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

"Mom, what are you doing!"

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were sitting peacefully at home.

He was startled by the sound of Jia Zhang's door kicking.

"You have the nerve to ask!"

Jia Zhang pointed at Jia Dongxu's forehead and said: "He Yuzhu and Yan Bugui bought new furniture after changing their houses. The neighbors all laughed at our jokes. They said that He Daqing's son roasted the university, and my Jia Zhang's son roasted the university. I can’t even understand how to bake sweet potatoes! Why don’t you give me some encouragement! Let me lose face in front of my neighbors!”

Jia Dongxu suffered a terrible disaster and felt helpless in his heart.

After the helplessness, there is a firm disbelief.

"He Yuzhu was born as a cook, worked as a translator and went to college, and now he is still making furniture? Why do I not believe it so much?"

"It's okay if you don't believe it? They've already bought the wood and paved the entire compound! If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang squeezed Qin Huairu away and drank water.

Qin Huairu was squeezed away, not even daring to take a breath, and stood obediently by the side.

Those who didn’t know better thought she was their little maid!

"I'm not going!"

Jia Dongxu said with disdain: "You always follow the wind and rain. He Yuzhu bought the wood because he had money to burn it. He is so rich, can't he hire a carpenter to do it? Do he have to do it himself?"

"Pretend to be coercive!"

Jia Zhang soon joined Jia Dongxu's camp.

"I have money and no place to spend it, so I show it off in the courtyard! With the way their family spends money, I don't think He Daqing will have money to bury him after he dies!"

"Yes!"

Jia Dongxu chuckled and said: "He Daqing is not like you. I will give you [-] yuan in pension money every month. If you keep it for a hundred years, you won't be able to spend it all."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu in shock.

This was the first time she knew that Jia Dongxu had given pension money to Jia Zhang.

The two of them really think they are nothing now.

He didn't say anything behind her back anymore.

"Of course my son is more filial than that He Yuzhu."

Jia Zhang touched Jia Dongxu's hand with a smile, turned around and yelled at Qin Huairu: "And you! What are you looking at! I'm talking about you!"

Qin Huairu pointed at herself.

Totally confused.

"The thing that embarrassed me the most just now wasn't He Yuzhu hitting the furniture! It was you, a hen that doesn't lay eggs! The neighbors pointed at my nose and said! They said you can't have children! Our Jia family will have no descendants! What's wrong with your belly? What's going on? It's been a year since that happened, why is there still no news!"

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle, and there was a bit of embarrassment in the air.

Qin Huairu didn't speak.

Jia Dongxu seemed to be covering up something, and quickly stood up and said: "Mom, I'm going to go out and see what kind of furniture He Yuzhu made. If he is bragging, I will avenge you on the spot!"

"Avenge mom! You must avenge mom!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang clenched her fists, like a warrior who wanted to fight for justice bravely.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu's back with mixed feelings in her heart.

It's been a year since the miscarriage.

But their relationship seemed to have come to an abrupt end last year.

She also wanted to give birth to a son to stabilize his position in the family.

It's not that she can't give birth...

But Jia Dongxu can't do it...

But this kind of thing has been women's fault since ancient times.

How can she defend herself?

She couldn't say anything.

……

Jia Dongxu escaped and breathed a sigh of relief when he walked to the front yard.

"Fortunately, I escaped, otherwise I would have been asked all sorts of questions, which would have been annoying to death."

Jia Dongxu muttered and saw the neighbors in the front yard gathered around as if watching something.

He squeezed into the crowd and took a closer look.

He Yuzhu is really making furniture!

He simply made himself a workbench, equipped with hand saw, open saw, second saw... sawing and sawing.

There's even a wood planer.

The tools were there, looking more professional than professional.

He Yuzhu's movements were also smooth. He stepped on the wood and sawed it open in two or three strokes.

When planing wood, he is also meticulous and focused.

A whole piece of wood is very obedient in his hands. It can become long if it wants to be long, and short if it wants to be short.

Everyone was amazed.

He Yuzhu is preparing to assemble the cut wooden boards together.

To everyone's surprise, he didn't use nails!

"Zhuzi, did you forget to buy nails?"

A kind neighbor warned.

The kinder neighbor said: "Zhuzi, we have foreign nails at home. How about I give them to you first?"

"You don't have nails, how can you beat this table!"

He Yuzhu smiled and said nothing. He turned the table over and inserted the table legs onto the table.

A new table was born immediately.

He even sat on it without any sway.

Neighbors were shocked.

"Zhuzi, how did you do this?"

"Can you make a table without nails?"

"What method did you use?"

He Yuzhu smiled and explained: "This is an ancient technique called mortise and tenon technology."

"Mortise and tenon craftsmanship?!"

Neighbors, you look at me and I look at you, no one can understand.

"Yes. You see, I cut out a groove on the top of the table. I made a raised mechanism on the legs of the table. Once the two things are inserted, they fit perfectly. It's better than nailing. It needs to be stable!”

The neighbors looked and looked, and finally everyone exclaimed!

"Oh my God! Isn't this the same method we used to build houses in the past!"

"My grandpa said he still used it."

"But no one does that now."

"Where did you learn the pillars?"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and couldn't tell them that it was given by the system, right?

So I had to say: "I saw this method when I went to the library to read, and I followed the book to learn it. Today is the first time I tried it. I didn't expect it to be successful."

First time trying...

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he was stunned.

He Yuzhu learned carpentry after reading two books.

It was the first time I hit furniture and I hit it so well.

Thinking about myself again, I really did what my neighbors said. When people were admitted to college, Jia Dongxu could even pass the sweet potato test.

This is the gap between people!

He was lost in thought when Xu Wood's appearance interrupted his train of thought.

He came over and saw the table that He Yuzhu had just set, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Zhuzi, your table is made of good wood! It's made of catalpa wood! Don't you have money for me?"

"so far so good."

He Yuzhu replied: "Calpa wood is okay, it only costs more than [-] yuan a piece. Mahogany is more expensive, costing [-] yuan!"

"Ten thousand dollars?!"

"Party?!"

The neighbors were so surprised that they couldn't close their jaws.

What a family!

All the furniture was bought at a big price!

Let alone the entire compound, there are no people as wealthy as He Yuzhu and his family in the entire capital!
