After rebirth, dominate the courtyard

Wood and Mystery Chair

Even if there were more of this exotic wood, it would not be of much use, unless the remaining wood was made into a few chairs and sold to the practitioners in the compound.

But if that happens, wouldn't that let those people take advantage?

Originally, Li Aimin planned to use the wood to make two chairs, hold an auction in the compound, and the highest bidder would win. However, now it seems that this plan is difficult to achieve.

"No need. I have enough wood now. If you want this chair, just return the money I spent on the materials." Li Aimin said. He had a good impression of the young man named Youlong. At least he was not like those people in the compound who always looked like creditors.

When Youlong heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face, he knew that the deal had been done.

Although he felt a little distressed by the price of the furniture wood, fifteen spirit stones in exchange for a chair that embodied the carpenter's skills was really worth it!

"No problem!" Youlong smiled brightly and took out fifteen spirit stones from his arms.

"Then we'll accept it." Lou Xiao'e on the side said with a smile to smooth things over.

"Thank you very much. I was planning to exchange it with the same amount of wood again."

"Since you don't need it, I will waive the cost of the wood this time. This is what I should do." Youlong responded politely.

After a few words, Youlong excitedly picked up the chair outside the door and left the compound happily.

"This person is really strange!" Lou Xiao'e commented after Youlong left.

"Youlong is obviously a technology fanatic," Li Aimin explained helplessly.

"However, we made a lot of money this time. It was a pleasant surprise to get so much wood at once." Lou Xiao'e was in a good mood when she thought about getting so much precious wood for free.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e's appearance, Li Aimin shrugged helplessly.

This is a little woman!

"By the way, we will make a dish of animal meat stewed with kelp for lunch. You must have never tasted it!" Li Aimin said with a smile. He just got some kelp when he signed in. He can eat it after processing it according to the system prompts.

If he remembered correctly, in that era, seafood such as kelp was not common and difficult to buy in the market.

"Stewed animal meat with kelp?" Lou Xiao'e was stunned when she heard it. She had never heard of it, let alone tasted it. But thinking that the food Li Aimin cooked was always delicious, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

She had never tasted these strange ingredients before, but after being cooked by Li Aimin, the taste always satisfied her.

"Okay, Ai Min, I think Sha Zhu's cooking skills are not as good as yours!" Lou Xiao'e said happily.

"My cooking skills are much better than Sha Zhu's!" Li Aimin answered nonchalantly. He had such confidence.

"Okay, I'll make another chair in the morning. If I don't dry it in the sun, it's hard to say what the quality will be." Li Aimin muttered, walked to the door and started to work.

………………

"Look at Ai Min, not only is she a great cook, she's also omnipotent. Now she's been promoted to deputy factory director!" Qin Jingru said resentfully as she looked at Xu Damao who was still lying on the bed.

The Chinese New Year was approaching, and every household, whether in the workshop, the commune or the countryside, was preparing for the New Year. The number of movie screenings also decreased, and the family income naturally decreased.

"What do you know? One time I show a movie is worth several months' salary for Shazhu."

"It's just the New Year, there are just fewer screenings these days."

"Why rush? Who knows, after the New Year, some place might be eager to invite me to show a movie!"

Xu Damao retorted with disdain.

"Da Mao, I think it's better to have a stable job. I don't feel secure relying on showing movies all the time," said Qin Jingru.

"Okay, don't talk to me about work. You're worried about the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, right? Don't worry, it's no problem!"

"The job of a movie projectionist will never be unemployed, it will only become more and more popular!" Xu Damao continued impatiently: "Shazhu directly married your sister's mother-in-law, and this guy, in order to get rid of being single, even married Jia Zhang." Big shot!!!

Qin Jingru became even more upset when she heard this. Sha Zhu directly married her sister's mother-in-law. This guy's generation was much higher than hers!

"I didn't expect Sha Zhu to have such a hobby. I really misjudged him before." Qin Jingru said dissatisfiedly.

"I must find an opportunity to teach this idiot Zhu a lesson, as well as that Li Aimin."

Xu Damao said angrily.

"You still want to deal with Li Aimin? You may not know that Li Aimin is now the deputy director of the factory, right?"

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to have a good relationship with Li Aimin? Why do you want to deal with him again this time?" Qin Jingru was puzzled and didn't know what Xu Damao was planning.

\"Li Aimin is indeed not my enemy, but seeing him taking good care of Lou Xiao'e every day makes me unhappy! \"

\"Although, there is no such deep bond between Lou Xiao'e and me.\"

\"However, now that I have divorced her, I feel uneasy when I see her living a comfortable life! \"

Xu Damao said.

\"You are just jealous of other people's happiness. You made the most money in our yard, but look at Li Aimin.\"

\"After being promoted to the ninth-level spiritual craftsman [Note: originally the ninth-level fitter, now changed to the ninth-level spiritual craftsman who is more suitable for the fantasy background], he was immediately rewarded with 100,000 spiritual stones.\"

Lou Xiao'e said with a little envy, "Who can deny the desire for the 100,000 spirit stones? This is not a small amount, but a reward of 100,000 precious spirit stones."

Such an amount of money is probably hard for an ordinary person to achieve in his lifetime, right?

\"Isn't it just 100,000 spirit stones? I will have them in the future!"\"

Xu Damao responded unyieldingly.

\"Just be stubborn!\"

………………

In Qin Huairu's boudoir!

Jia Dongxu's empty eyes fell on the bed.

Last night, his mother Jia Zhang had moved to Sha Zhu's house. Even a child could guess the meaning of this. However, he could not stop it from happening.

\"Mom, I'm hungry!\"

At this moment, Bang Geng's voice rang out.

"Be good, mom will check to see if there is any rice left at home!"

Qin Huairu said this and got up from the bed.

In the cold winter, the weather is particularly cold. Especially today when you don't have to work, you always want to lie down for a while.

Such opportunities usually only come during festivals.

Soon, Qin Huairu finished dressing up, and before she went out, there was a knock on the door.

\"coming!\"

Qin Huairu walked to the door in tights and unbolted the door.

The moment the door was opened, two people were standing at the door, they were Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang.

\"What's wrong?\"

Qin Huairu asked with a stiff expression. Even though the matter was a foregone conclusion, she still found it hard to accept it in her heart.

Sha Zhu is the same age as her, but she calls him father!

If it were someone else, they would probably find it unbearable, right?

\"Qin Huairu, the New Year is coming soon, do you want to go to the market to buy some New Year goods?\"

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and asked.

\"Qin Huairu, if you need anything, just ask. Shazhu is now a member of our family.\"

\"You're welcome!\"

Jia Zhang said on the side.

\"That's right, if there is anything, you must tell me, we are a family now!\"

Hearing what Jia Zhang said, Sha Zhu felt warm in his heart. Only Jia Zhang still cared about him.

Seeing that he came for this matter, Qin Huairu's expression eased a little.

The end of the year is approaching, and the family really needs to prepare some New Year's goods.

I just received my salary yesterday, and I haven’t planned how to use it yet!

"We really need to buy some things at home. The New Year is coming and we don't even have any meat at home."

\"Also, I want to buy a fur coat for Bangteng during the Chinese New Year.\"

Qin Huairu said this a little embarrassedly, but she was just pretending.

\"That's all? Okay, no problem, leave it to me!\"

Sha Zhu agreed with a smile on his face.

\"Let's go. While there are not many people on the road in the early morning, leave early and come back early! \"

Jia Zhang urged.

\"Um!\"

Sha Zhu quickly nodded in agreement.

.....................

At this moment, in a quiet place not far from the courtyard.

A black hearse drove slowly by.

\"In front, that should be Li Aimin's residence, right?\"

\"I never thought he lived in such a remote place.\"

Wang Tianhua looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but say.

\"That's right. I heard that Li Aimin was promoted to the ninth-level spiritual craftsman, and the Red Star Ironworks also awarded him 100,000 spiritual stones! \"

Wu Liangcai sat aside and agreed with a smile.

\"Master Wu, did I hear correctly? The Red Star Ironworks rewards him with 100,000 spirit stones at once? \"

Wang Kang, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was shocked when he heard this! You know, that was 100,000 spirit stones, a huge fortune!

Nowadays, the wages of workers are only more than 20 spirit stones. If a reward of 100,000 is given out at once, wouldn't it be like becoming rich overnight?

\"Yes, the news is true, but he also won it with his superb skills.\"

\"There's nothing to envy.\"

\"This year's ninth-level spiritual craftsman assessment has more than 30,000 participants!\"

\"Red Star Ironworks really needs someone with extraordinary skills to support the facade!\"

Wang Tianhua said with a smile. Li Aimin was the most outstanding young man among all the younger generations he had ever met.

\"The more you say this, the more curious I am about what this young man looks like.\"
