"Then you should be careful. Although the furniture in our house is very old, it is still an old thing. My parents value it very much. Although it is somewhat damaged, they may not be happy if you repair it badly. ." Wu Xucheng planned to replace the damaged tables and chairs for Chang Xing.
"I know. This furniture is very old, the carvings on it are very exquisite, and the craftsmanship is very good. So I want to learn from it." Chang Xing said.
The wood that Chang Xing bought was not used to repair the furniture. Instead, he saw that the Wu family's furniture had some defects. For example, of the six chairs at the dining table, only five are left, and one has a damaged strip. You can't sit on your legs.
There was only a bench left next to the coffee table, and the single chair was missing. One of the cabinet doors in Wanyi's room was damaged.
There was an out-of-place wooden cabinet in Wu Xucheng's room. The workmanship was crude and rough, and it didn't look matching at all.
Changxing bought the wood just to replace all these things.
Seeing Chang Xing building a wooden horse in the yard and the carpenter setting up a bench, Shen Zhuru asked, "Chang Xing, what are you going to do?"
"There are a few stools missing in the house, so I made a few to make up for them. When guests come, there will be stools to sit on," Chang Xing said.
"It's rare for you to come to Donghai and let Xucheng take people around. We don't usually have guests at home. We really can't go to the wood shop to buy two stools." Shen Zhuru was afraid that her new son-in-law would be exhausted. When he came home for the first time, Why do you have the nerve to let him do this or that?
"Mom, please leave him alone. He has learned the craft of carpentry and rarely has the opportunity to make furniture. He saw the beautiful style of our furniture and wanted to learn how to do it." Wu Wanyi understood Chang Xing's thoughts best.
"This child, if Xucheng was as stable as Changxing, your father and I wouldn't have such a headache." Shen Zhuru said.
"Chang Xing has lived alone since he was a child. Are you willing to let your precious son suffer?" Wu Wanyi said with a smile.
"How do you talk? When you were a child, your parents didn't spoil you? Those who are obedient are obedient, and those who are disobedient are disobedient." Shen Zhuru said.
"Mom, you waited for me to go out. If you say bad things about me behind my back, I'm still sitting here. You only have your precious daughter and son-in-law in your eyes. The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her. Forget it, I'm not here with you. It's an eyesore in front of me, so I went out to play." Wu Xucheng was lying on a wooden board, and no one saw it. This anger was really enough for Wu Xucheng.
Chang Xing smiled and said: "Xucheng, don't leave. Come here and help me."
"Brother-in-law, you performed very well as soon as you came here. Do you know how much pressure you put on me by doing this?" Wu Xucheng was very resentful.
"What kind of pressure do you have? Anyway, you have nothing to do. You can learn to be a carpenter from me. My family doesn't have to pay attention to anything." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"I will be a worker in the future, and I won't learn to be a carpenter from you." Wu Xucheng said.
"Then why don't I see you working as a worker, but instead hanging around outside all day?" Chang Xing asked.
"My family background is not good. They won't arrange a job for me." Wu Xucheng said helplessly.
"You know that your family background is not good, but you are still waiting to arrange a job for you. Are you stupid? I am here to learn the carpenter's craft, regardless of my background. Whether you want to learn it or not, let me tell you, there is no shame in being a carpenter. It is shameful to be idle. Carpentry is already an art when it is done to the extreme. You are more educated than me, you should understand this, right?" Chang Xing asked.
Wu Xucheng was stunned: "Brother-in-law, who did you listen to these things? Didn't your dad ask you to learn from me?"
"You brat, your dad can't say such profound things. If your dad was so good at speaking, why would he offend everyone in the unit?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help but say.
"I believe this. Brother-in-law, you will go back after the Chinese New Year. How can I learn the carpentry craft with you in such a short period of time?" Wu Xucheng asked worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about it. You can't master the basic skills in such a short period of time, but it's no problem. You can practice slowly and learn to do some simple things first. When you improve the basic skills, it's up to you. .I will prepare some things for you to help you improve your skills step by step." Chang Xing said.
"That's it, I will learn the carpentry skills from you now." Wu Xucheng said.
Chang Xing learned the carpentry trade quickly and knew the tricks of various techniques better than others. Wu Xucheng was highly educated and learned things quickly. He quickly learned some simple things. But it was not easy to improve his basic skills. things.
Chang Xing taught Wu Xucheng basic skills while repairing the Wu family's furniture. A few days ago, he repaired the Wu family's large wooden chair and made a separate recliner. The style can perfectly match the Wu family's old furniture. , it’s just that it’s not painted, and the original color of the wood looks a little different from those antique furniture.
Chang Xing made the furniture, which surprised Wu Xucheng: "Brother-in-law, if the chair you made is properly painted, it will really match the broken chair we have at home."
"What's the point? This chair is originally made from that chair, and the wood used is exactly the same. It's just that even if it's painted, the patina and the like will definitely not match the old chair.
"It's pretty good, I think. But that old chair has a lot of carvings on it, so this is going to be difficult." Wu Xucheng compared the old chair with the new chair carefully, pointing to the patterns on it and said.
"Actually, the patterns on this chair seem very complicated, but in fact they are much simpler than real works of art. Not every carpenter can be a painter or sculptor. This is a very obvious carpenter's carving. It doesn't bother me. ." Chang Xing took a look and was not very worried.
Wu Xucheng took a closer look at the chair. The pattern on it was very delicate and looked extremely exquisite. It was not as simple as Chang Xing said.
"Brother-in-law, you seem to be careful. This pattern is not simple. Don't ruin the carving." Wu Xucheng reminded quickly.
Chang Xing smiled, picked up the carving knife and started carving on the chair. The patterns Chang Xing carved were not simple. Without good eyesight, he could not see all the details on the wood carvings. This was Chang Xing's strength. Xing can easily find all the details on the woodcut.
Not only did Chang Xing carve smoothly, he was also very fast. In just a short time, he had carved most of the carvings on the wooden chair.
"Brother-in-law, the carvings on your chair are different from those on the old chair. You made the wrong carving." Wu Xucheng quickly discovered what was wrong.
"Then if you look at other furniture, are the flowers exactly the same? As long as the wood carvings have the same style, it doesn't have to be exactly the same." Chang Xing said.
In a few days, Chang Xing had almost repaired everything that needed to be repaired in the Wu family, and also made many pieces of furniture. He also bought some raw materials, mixed paint according to the method in Lu Ban's book, and then decorated all the furniture. Re-painting suddenly brought all the Wu's furniture to life. Even though it was re-painted, the Wu's furniture still maintained its original antique flavor.
Even the very picky Wu Duming was very satisfied.
"Chang Xing, your craftsmanship is really good. Now our home has a completely new look. It feels different when we come back." Wu Duming said.
Wu Xucheng stayed at home for a few days. Several young people of about the same age came over, and Wu Xucheng couldn't stay any longer.
"Brother-in-law, I'm bored staying at home all day, so I'll go out with them to get some fresh air. Otherwise, you'll be fine anyway, so just come with us," Wu Xucheng said.
"You know how to play, but I can't. I can't play with you," Chang Xing said.
"You are younger than me, why are you pretending to be mature? Let's go. Anyway, you haven't seen much of Donghaicheng yet. Come with me and go out for a walk. If you don't go, mom will definitely not let me go out." Wu Xucheng said.
"Okay, then I'll go out and play with you. But first of all, if you don't have a good time because of me, don't blame me." Chang Xing said.
"Don't make trouble on purpose!" Wu Xucheng said.
"That's definitely not the case. Where are you going?" Chang Xing asked.
"Let's go to the daily chemical factory. Our research institute suffered a loss in the last fight with the daily chemical factory and was ambushed by them. Xu Jianhua's head was split open by them last time," Wu Xucheng said.
"Are you so cunning in fighting? Then you still dare to mess around with this guy? Aren't you afraid that your head will be blown open this time?" Chang Xing asked.
"How can it be so unlucky? Don't worry. I'm usually very careful. When I see something is wrong, I run away. They want to catch up with me, but there is no way." Wu Xucheng said proudly.
Chang Xing smiled: "You didn't abandon your accomplices and ran away, right? Are you so unloyal?"
"How could we abandon our companions? I dragged them away. If it hadn't been for me last time, Xu Jianhua would have been killed by those bastards. That Sun thief did something dirty. This time, let us catch them. We must
We cannot tear their bones apart," Wu Xucheng said.
Obviously, Wu Xucheng and his partners were very well prepared this time.
The area where the Wu family lives in the daily chemical factory is not far away, and we arrived there not long after walking.
"Not far ahead is the daily chemical factory. The thieves from the daily chemical factory often operate there. Brother-in-law, just wait here for us and don't go there." Wu Xucheng was afraid of involving Chang Xing.
If Xing is a little hurt, he won't have any good things to eat when he goes back. His family asked him to take Chang Xing out for a walk, but they didn't let him take him to hang out with the gangsters.
Chang Xing said disapprovingly: "Be careful yourself, I'm fine."
Wu Xucheng just wanted to persuade Chang Xing to stay outside, but then he remembered that Chang Xing could kill a black bear with his bare hands. How could such a few young people hurt Chang Xing?
"Okay, just follow me and be careful. If the spotlight goes wrong, we will run out." Wu Xucheng said.
At this time, Pan Weidong, who had come back from inquiring, ran over.
"Weidong, are those grandsons from Rihua talking over there?" Wu Xucheng asked.
"We've been here a long time ago. The people are about the same as us, so we can't take advantage." The news that Pan Weidong detected was not very favorable.
"When have we ever been afraid of facing them head-on? When have we not had more people than us?" Wu Xucheng said.
"But we are the ones who suffer every time. If we attack now, we are guaranteed that a lot of people will surround us. They all live nearby, and if you just shout, a lot of people will come." Pan Weidong was a little worried.
.
Wu Xucheng still wanted to rush forward, but Chang Xing hit him directly on the back of the head: "Are you stupid? Every time you send someone to someone else's territory to beat them up! Aren't you beaten stupid? You don't know how to lead them to you.
How about going to your own territory?"
"Who made him fall in love with Feng Zhihua, the beauty from the daily chemical factory?" Xu Jianhua still had gauze on his head. It was obvious that the injury he suffered last time had not healed yet, and he was preparing to go into battle with the injury again.
"Wu Xucheng likes Feng Zhihua, a girl from the daily chemical factory?" Chang Xing laughed.
"Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense when you go back." Wu Xucheng begged.
"This is a good thing. What are you afraid of?" Chang Xing asked.
"The problem is that I like other people, but no one else knows. How embarrassing would it be for my mother and sister to know?" Wu Xucheng said.
"You like the people in the daily chemical factory, why do you fight with the people in the daily chemical factory? Are you afraid that others won't hate you?" Chang Xing asked.
"Those bastards were blocking Feng Zhihua every day, and I couldn't help but have sex with them." Wu Xucheng said.
"They are all from a daily chemical factory, why would they block Feng Zhihua?" Chang Xing was a little confused.
"Not all those who live near a daily chemical factory are from the daily chemical factory. Those few are second-rate. They often harass the female workers in the daily chemical factory. Feng Zhihua is the most beautiful and is harassed the most. We can't stand it and do it with them.
A lot of fights." Wu Xucheng said.
Chang Xing finally understood and nodded: "I admire your courage, but if you get beaten every time, people may not be able to remember you. They say heroes save beauties, who has ever heard of a bear saving beauties?"
"Brother-in-law, please don't speak so harshly, okay?" Wu Xucheng said.
"I have a method, would you like to try it?" Chang Xing said seriously.
"What can I do?" Wu Xucheng asked.
"If those people still block Feng Zhihua later, rush over alone. Do you dare?" Chang Xing asked.
"I dare to do it, but I am being sent up to be a target. Brother-in-law, do you really have the heart to look at me so pitifully?" Wu Xucheng asked.
"If I rush over and rescue Feng Zhihua, do you think Feng Zhihua will be grateful to me or to you?" Chang Xing asked.
Wu Xucheng knew the answer without thinking.
"I have a way for you to defeat several of them by yourself. Do you dare to believe me?" Chang Xing said mysteriously.
"As long as you let me beat a few of them, I will believe it." Wu Xucheng's head was burning, and he believed it on impulse.
"Well, if you eat this piece of White Rabbit toffee, you can defeat them." Chang Xing stuffed a White Rabbit toffee into Wu Xucheng's hand, then patted Wu Xucheng a few times and fired a spiritual energy drill.
Enter Wu Xucheng's body.
Wu Xucheng was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the White Rabbit toffee: "Brother-in-law, you're not kidding me, are you? I gave you this toffee."
"Forget it if you don't dare to go. Let's go back as soon as possible and keep it out of sight. But such a good girl will belong to someone else sooner or later." Chang Xing smiled heartlessly.
"Brother-in-law, if I am injured, you will be responsible for carrying me back today!" Wu Xucheng was so excited by Chang Xing that he forgot about his fear.
As soon as the off-duty time came, the door of the daily chemical factory opened, and there were only a lot of people at the entrance of the daily chemical factory. Several female workers from the daily chemical factory were wearing factory uniforms and walking through a few alleys not far away. As expected, those second-rate men
He immediately greeted him and placed his bicycle across the road.
Several other people stood in the gap, completely blocking the alley.
"What are you going to do? Get out of the way!" Feng Zhihua said loudly.
"Go half way up the road toward the sky. This road belongs to the public and not your home. You can walk on it, but others can't?" said the man on the bicycle.
"Dwarf Tiger! Are you looking for death? What does it mean to bully a few lesbians? If you have the ability, I will fight with you, Mr. Wu!" The show was about to begin, and Wu Xucheng rushed over with a roar.
"Here comes another one who deserves a beating. Brothers, give him a shot!" The man riding the bicycle is called Dwarf Tiger, and he is the leader of this group of second-rate men.
Dwarf Tiger's two main thugs named Tietou and Heizi immediately rushed towards Wu Xucheng.
Wu Xucheng was also ready to take a beating, so he didn't retreat. Instead, he became even more energetic. He picked up a piece of it anywhere and turned around and rushed forward.
Tietou and Heizi both had sticks in their hands, rushed to Wu Xucheng, and hit Wu Xucheng with all their might.
Several of Wu Xucheng's friends couldn't help but close their eyes, as if they couldn't bear to look directly at it.
Wu Xucheng thought he was going to have a bloody head. Unexpectedly, the two people seemed to have not eaten today. They had no strength in their hands. When the stick hit their heads, they felt no pain at all. Wu Xucheng seemed to have been scratched.
. was stunned for a moment, and immediately put the brick in his hand on Tietou and Heizi's heads. Heizi and Heizi lay down softly on the ground.
Originally, Feng Zhihua and several of her female companions thought that Wu Xucheng was going to be beaten today, but who knew that Wu Xucheng actually reversed the situation and pushed back two of Dwarf Tiger's capable men.
The short-footed tiger also opened his mouth wide. Didn't this bastard get beaten every day? Why did he suddenly become so fierce?
While Dwarf Tiger was confused, Wu Xucheng knocked Tietou and Heizi over, then rushed forward quickly. The brick in his hand flew out and hit Dwarf Tiger's head, who was still in a daze.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the Dwarf Tiger's head collided with the stone. The Dwarf Tiger tilted its head and fell to the ground on the spot. The bicycle also fell to the ground with a clang. A hole was smashed in the Dwarf Tiger's head, and blood poured out.
flow out of the hole.
Wu Xucheng was also stunned. He just wanted to scare Dwarf Tiger, not really kill him.
"Why are you still standing there? Run away!" Feng Zhihua shouted at Wu Xucheng.
Obviously Feng Zhihua was worried that if Dwarf Tiger died, Wu Xucheng would go to jail to pay for his life. Feng Zhihua had a good impression of this hero who stepped forward.
"Then be careful, I'm leaving first!" Wu Xucheng said.
Wu Xucheng turned around and ran away, even passing by Chang Xing and others without stopping.
"Why are you running?" Chang Xing grabbed Wu Xucheng.
"We got into trouble. I smashed the dwarf tiger's head with a stone. I don't know if he's dead or not." Wu Xucheng was so nervous that he couldn't speak smoothly.
"Why die? It's just that I fainted. When I wake up, just put some ointment on it." Chang Xing said.
