【145】A major event that shocked the entire courtyard house Jia Zhangshi in her fifties is pregnant
Because he had confidence in the marriage talisman, Liu Guangfu, after asking Shazhu to contact the fat girl, took his things and went to the street office to find the director of the Women's Federation and asked her to help arrange for seven single women to come out.
The director of the Women's Federation didn't care much about neighborhood marriages, but she did give Liu Guangfu face and helped find seven girls who were of marriageable age.
After going to these girls' homes and discussing blind dates with them, Liu Guangfu started riding his bicycle to send the young men registered with him to blind dates one after another.
Perhaps because the marriage talisman was no longer there, only four of the seven pairs of young men and women introduced by Liu Guangfu this time were successful.
Among them, the guy who became sick after drinking was once again gloriously rejected by the woman.
The reason why the remaining two young men did not succeed was that one was because they found a partner during the Chinese New Year and no longer had to go on blind dates, and the other was simply not attracted to the other person.
Regarding the matter of marriage, Liu Guangfu did not forcefully buy or sell them for money, but chose to let them do whatever they wanted.
After he succeeded, he collected the rest of the matchmaker's money, and Liu Guangfu, who had found a match by himself, returned half of the deposit to him. The sick one sent him home to recuperate, and the remaining one was left to dry out for him next time.
When it is empty, continue to introduce people to him.
After finishing the blind date, Liu Guangfu hurried home, but because he came back too late and had no way to get in, he had to run to wake Xu Damao, who was already asleep, to cook and drink.
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Liu Guangfu said hello to the well-dressed Silly Zhu, and then rode his bicycle directly to the lumber factory that had just started construction to buy what he needed to make furniture.
The firewood has gone.
Because it was the first business of the year, Liu Guangfu got a big discount when buying wood. Not only did he buy a lot of durable and valuable wood, but he also bought wood that the other party couldn't sell.
The reason is that he bought more than three times more wood than usual at the usual price.
After buying the firewood, Liu Guangfu spent five yuan to transport the firewood back to the courtyard, and hired a cart for one yuan. Liu Guangfu hired five carts to bring the leaked wood he bought back to the courtyard.
The third uncle, who had not yet started school and had nothing to do, immediately ran out and asked Liu Guangfu as soon as he heard the movement of things outside. "Guangfu, why did you buy so much firewood? Are you going to make a fire?"
"Third uncle, didn't Sister Yuyu give her house to me? I'm going to build a set of furniture to decorate the house, and then move here with my wife. When a young man marries his wife, he lives with his parents.
It is somewhat inconvenient to be together, you must know this, right?" Liu Guangfu, who was helping to carry firewood, heard the third uncle's question and immediately smiled and told him that he wanted to make furniture.
.
Hearing that Liu Guangfu wanted to make furniture, the third uncle immediately showed a shocked expression; "Guangfu, you can also make furniture, are you true?"
Liu Guangfu knew how to weave bamboo before. His explanation to everyone was that when he was studying, he often ran out secretly to finish it. Then he met an old man who was very good at handicrafts and learned from him.
So when faced with the third uncle's question, Liu Guangfu once again directly pushed the credit to this non-existent grandfather; "In this era, if you only make bamboo weaving, you will have no way to live. Look at Jia Zhang's
My husband, a bamboo weaving master, only sells one or two bamboo baskets a day.
My master had anticipated this situation, so when he taught me bamboo weaving, he also taught me how to make furniture. In fact, I don’t know much, I just know how to make some relatively simple furniture, such as wooden beds and wardrobes.
, cupboards, tables, stools, rocking chairs, benches, Eight Immortals table, etc.”
Hearing Liu Guangfu's words, the third uncle who loves to take advantage immediately looked at Liu Guangfu with a smile on his face and said, "Guangfu, you are so powerful, can you help your third uncle and I make an Eight Immortals table for eating and some benches?"
ah?"
"Third uncle, can you be nice to me? You know how to plot against me every day. OK, I can help you make a table, but you have to buy the wood yourself, and you have to wait for me and my brother to finish it."
Only after you get the furniture from both families can I help you make it." After replying funny to the stingy third uncle, Liu Guangfu turned around and continued to help move the wood.
After moving the firewood, Liu Guangfu paid the freight to the porter, washed his hands, said goodbye to the third uncle and went home.
As soon as he got home, Qin Jingru immediately ran out, hugged his arm and asked, "Guangfu, why did you buy so much wood? Do you plan to hire someone to make furniture?"
"I plan to make furniture by myself. I'll get two salted fish when I come back. I'll ask my new grandpa to borrow tools and start working later." After replying to Qin Jingru with a smile, Liu Guangfu was talking to the deaf old lady and the second son again.
After the aunt said hello, she went into the house to get the salted fish.
But just when Liu Guangfu took the salted fish and prepared to go out by himself, Qin Jingru followed him jumping up and down; "Guangfu wait for me and take me out to play. I am bored to death at home. Showing off my shoes is not fun at all."
"Okay, then take the salted fish."
Without rejecting Qin Jingru's request, after Liu Guangfu handed her the salted fish, he directly asked the third uncle to borrow a bicycle, and then drove her directly to the old man.
The old man is making bamboo weaving at home, and Mrs. Jia Zhang is chopping cabbage to feed her two old hens.
Maybe it's because the bamboo weaving business has been slow recently. When the two of them saw Liu Guangfu coming over with salted fish, they immediately said excitedly, "Come here if you want. Why did you bring a gift? You're so polite."
"
"It's the Chinese New Year, so you have to be more considerate. Also, I came here this time to ask you to borrow some furniture tools. By the way, are you free? If so, please help me for a few days.
I need to buy two sets of furniture." After handing the salted fish to Jia Zhang, Liu Guangfu asked the old man if he was free.
Hearing that Liu Guangfu wanted to help himself, the old man did not refuse, but pointed at Jia Zhang and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you build furniture in the past, but you have to give me two yuan a day and provide us with the same supplies as last time.
Food, your aunt is pregnant and needs a good supplement, and I can’t get her anything good right now.”
"Okay, two yuan a day, the same food as last time, I promise you." Faced with the old man's request, Liu Guangfu and Qin Jingru were shocked by the news of Jia Zhang's pregnancy, and then nodded directly and agreed to the old man's request.
Requested.
The old man, who had recently lost work because of the bamboo weavings sold by Liu Guangfu, after hearing Liu Guangfu's reply, he directly packed up his things with Jia Zhang and tied all the tools and tools to Liu Guangfu's bicycle, and then everyone followed.
They walked to the courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, Liu Guangfu and the old man began to take banknotes and began to draw the structural diagram of the furniture, and calculated the dimensions and sizes of all the parts of the furniture.
After finishing it, they built three benches each to compete with each other to see who had better craftsmanship. This time, Liu Guangfu was defeated by the old man without any surprise. He lost all skills to the old man.
While Liu Guangfu and the old man were drawing design drawings and making benches, Jia Zhang was like an old lady from a landlord's family, sitting aside eating melon seeds and peanuts, living even more arrogantly than Qin Jingru, the host's daughter-in-law.
