Chapter 1 Brother Yao, do you want a wife?
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a cold air swept across the land of northern Jiangsu.
One night, the mountains and plains were covered with a thick layer of quilts.
In an ordinary farmyard in Liyuan Village, Wu Yuan, who was naked to the waist, was riveting the standing timbers and horizontal timbers together in the windy east room, and then embedding them into the wooden boards to form a combination cabinet that is popular in the South nowadays. .
After a while, perhaps tired from knocking, Wu Yuan sat down and lit a large front door.
In a trance.
Suddenly, his robust body convulsed, as if being possessed by a ghost.
It's a pity that he lives alone in this small courtyard, and no one knows about it.
I could only endure this momentum and calm down slowly.
Cold sweat dripped down, fell into the wood shavings, and disappeared without a sound.
Wu Yuan was stunned to discover a fact.
He was born again.
From rebirth in 2022 to the first month of the first year in 1988, it was actually the first day of the twelfth lunar month in 1987.
From the age of 55, who knew his destiny long ago, to the age of 21, who is in the prime of life.
Wu Yuan was in a very complicated mood.
Immediately, his eyes fell on the freshly baked combination cabinet in front of him, and it was even more difficult to describe it.
This combination cabinet is the first time he has independently built it since he was a carpenter, and it is also the first new attempt after abandoning the old-school furniture concepts of his master.
I have to admit that he is better than blue in the realization and application of tenon-tenon structure.
The entire set of combination cabinets does not use a single nail, and the seams are still tightly stitched, as stable as Mount Tai.
Even the engraving details on the cabinet doors and corners are remarkable.
It's no wonder that my previous self was very satisfied with this set of furniture.
Later, they were sold in markets in neighboring villages, hoping to earn a sum of money for the New Year.
It's a pity that it has been sold until Xiaonian, but it has not been sold.
As a last resort, I sold it to Li Ergou from the fourth team of the same village at a low price.
It is only four hundred yuan, and it has been in arrears for three years.
This became the first failed work of his carpenter career, and it can even be said to be a shame.
So much so that for many years later, he had no work to do, and could only rely on making coffins for other people's houses to survive.
Now that he is a human being in two lives, Wu Yuan can see the problem at a glance.
It is not so much that this is his first work as a carpenter; it is better to say that this is his first work as a carpenter.
At the age of 21, he is a carpenter, and he is still far from the skill and realm of a carpenter.
It's like this combination cabinet in front of you.
Obviously, the combination cabinet should be foreign and refreshing, but it looks rustic and rustic.
No wonder someone is willing to buy it!
Fortunately, for him, who has more than 30 years of woodworking experience, it is not too late to remedy the situation.
Just as he was about to dismantle the mortise and tenon structure and start over, the rhubarb at the door barked and then stopped abruptly.
Then, the third sister Wu Xiuhua, who was wrapped in a white gauze scarf, pushed the door in, calling out 'Yaodi' one by one from a distance away.
"Third sister, I'm in the east room."
Wu Yuan responded, and saw someone stomping at the east gate, removing the white gauze scarf, revealing his flushed cheeks.
"Why are you here in such a cold day?"
"Third sister, I'll just deal with it casually here. What about the three children in your family, you can save the red sweet potato for the children to eat."
"Don't talk about other things with me, ask you about the eldest sister of the Xu family, do you agree or not?"
Wu Xiuhua speaks quickly, Brother Yao's ability to change the subject is not easy to use in front of her.
Since it is inevitable.
Wu Yuan insisted: "Xu Yanmei can't, I didn't like her."
"Then tell me, who do you see?"
"I don't care about Yang Luoyan."
"The jewel in the palm of Party Secretary Yang, the little girl of the Yang family? Do you know how much the bride price that Party Secretary Yang asked for? One thousand yuan, a whole thousand yuan! One thousand yuan, even if your third brother-in-law is the village party secretary, my family would not Can't get it out."
Wu Yuanxin said this.
The third brother-in-law Xiong Gang is too righteous.
Otherwise, she would not have allowed the third sister to be so "Voldemort", bringing things from home every now and then to subsidize her younger brother.
Even Yaodi's dowry gift and wedding had to be arranged extensively.
"Brother Yao, you have to pay attention to the right marriage. With our family's conditions, we can't afford to marry Luoyan girl. You should be realistic and consider Xu Yanmei. She is the boss of the family, and she must be more caring than a little girl like Luoyan..."
Wu Yuan still shook his head.
In his previous life, he listened to his third sister and married Xu Yanmei.
As a result, when spring began, Xu Yanmei couldn't stand the hard life at home and ran away with others.
Let him be completely reduced to a joke in Liyuan Village, and he will never be able to hold his head up.
Later, I followed Master to work everywhere, participated in the construction of a large auditorium, and assisted in the construction of a movie theater, but I never met a suitable woman again.
Until the turn of the millennium, the real estate industry sprang up suddenly, there were suddenly more carpentry jobs, and the wages also increased. As a skilled worker, Wu Yuan's life became easier day by day.
At this time, there is no shortage of women around.
But the women who work **** the construction site are more realistic, and it is difficult to know the hot and cold.
As for getting mixed up later, the women around me couldn't get their minds off at all.
So Wu Yuan couldn't agree with Xu Yanmei.
I can only insist: "Third sister, I will never marry Yang Luoyan in my life."
Wu Xiuhua was in a hurry, "Sister knows that Yang Luoyan is good-looking and well-groomed. But Yang Zhishu called out a sky-high price of 1,000 yuan, isn't it just to stop the mouths of our rural people? He just wants to marry his precious daughter to the city. Go out and become a city dweller, don't you understand?"
This is true.
In her previous life, Yang Luoyan did marry in the city, but unfortunately her husband was a short-lived ghost, and passed away in only three years.
"Besides, Yang Luoyan was spoiled and raised since childhood, how can a girl like Xu Yanmei know the cold and the hot?"
Wu Yuan disagreed with this statement.
He and Yang Luoyan have been classmates for nine years, until they graduated from elementary school. He knows that she is not squeamish at all, and she is very kind.
After her husband passed away, she has been in charge of the broken family and has not remarried. At home and outside, everything is in order, and the only daughter has also been cultivated and admitted to university.
Folks from ten miles and eight towns, anyone who mentions it will be full of praise, without saying anything.
So it is impossible for Wu Yuan to let go.
No matter what Wu Xiuhua said, it would not help. Finally, he left a sentence: "If you want to marry Yang Luoyan, you need to earn 1,000 yuan first!"
"Okay, third sister, come back in seven days."
Wu Xiuhua turned around in surprise: "Seven days later, if you don't steal or rob, if you can get 1,000 yuan, Third Sister, I will risk my face and help you marry Yang Luoyan back home!"
"Then it's a deal! Third sister, walk slowly on the way back."
"Annoy you? Let's go!"
