Chapter 132 [The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival Shows Woodworking Skills
Time flies, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we rush to this reunion event amidst the sweetness of the Lantern Festival.
In this era, the traditional festivals that remain in history have not faded in any way.
"Jia Cheng, look at that!"
A giant dragon is "flying in the air". Accompanied by gongs, drums and suonas, the dragon dancers shuttle through the sea of people in unison.
It’s truly spectacular!
Liu Jiacheng stood on the street decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, feeling the richness of the Lantern Festival.
Although supplies were scarce in this era, the joy of the festival was something that future generations would never be able to experience.
The two of them did not stay in front of the dragon dancer for too long, but continued to walk through the lively streets.
Feel the joy of lion dancing, walking on stilts, and performing yangko!
Soon... Liu Jiacheng was attracted by a quarrel.
It wasn't that he was gossiping and wanted to go up and watch the excitement, but that he and Lou Xiao'e both knew one of the people quarreling.
"Xiulan, what's wrong?"
One of the two people quarreling was Wu Xiulan who went to their house two days ago, and the other was a comrade who played drums.
Next to Wu Xiulan stood a simple and honest man with a square face and a big waist.
The man has a crew cut and is about 1.8 meters tall, standing taller than Liu Jiacheng.
Standing next to Wu Xiulan, who is about 1.5 meters tall, they have the cutest height difference.
This man didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the tension and uneasiness at this moment could be felt from the sweat beads on the tip of his nose.
"Xiao'e, Liu Jiacheng."
"You guys came out to play too."
Wu Xiulan stopped arguing with the vendor, and a smile instantly appeared on her angry face.
"Da Shan, this is Xiao'e and her partner Liu Jiacheng that I'm telling you about."
"This is my partner Xu Dashan!"
Xu Dashan took a step forward, nodded to Lou Xiao'e honestly, and then smiled at Liu Jiacheng.
Liu Jiacheng heard from Wu Xiulan that her partner Xu Dashan was a worker who worked in a brick factory and was honest and honest.
When I saw it today...it was true!
Seeing these people chatting lively, the drumming comrade became impatient and ignored him completely: "Comrade, you should pay for my wooden frame now."
"We didn't say we wouldn't compensate you, but you charged us three yuan for a wooden frame."
"This is obviously blackmail!"
Although Wu Xiulan is short in stature, her aura is definitely not inferior to anyone's.
But... Xu Dashan, who was tall and tall next to him, gave in. "Xiulan, how about we compensate him? At worst, I will miss a few meals today."
"What are you going to pay for? This person is clearly blackmailing us. We can't just let her bully us!"
"Comrade, I really didn't bully you. My wooden frame is really worth three yuan."
The two of them quarreled constantly, and neither one gave in to the other.
This made Xu Dashan, who was caught in the middle, very uncomfortable!
Through understanding, Liu Jiacheng understood what was going on.
The two of them came here to enjoy the lantern festival today. Xu Dashan, a tall guy, accidentally broke the drumming comrade's wooden frame.
That’s how this scene happened!
"Boss, this wooden frame of yours is worth three yuan."
Liu Jiacheng took a look and found that it was indeed damaged, but it could be repaired.
"Comrade, you can't join forces to deceive me just because we know each other."
"I didn't mean to blackmail you. I was playing drums here, and this tall guy bumped into me."
"This wooden drum stand was handed down from my grandfather's generation. I really don't want more than three yuan."
The comrade playing the drums and wearing a cotton hat also stood there and cried out for injustice.
This is his precious thing, how could he take it out and touch it?
Liu Jiacheng carefully looked at this wooden frame for a long time. It really had a sense of age. He didn't know whether it was worth anything.
But...he can fix it!
"Comrade, do you think this is good?"
"How about I help you repair this wooden shelf and compensate you two cents?"
Liu Jiacheng knew that Wu Xiulan was a very strong woman.
If you help her advance three yuan at this time, this woman will definitely not agree.
"Comrade, can you really repair yourself?"
"If you can really fix it for me, I promise not to pay a penny."
The comrade who plays the drum is not really blackmailing me.
The wooden frame itself was passed down from ancestors, so he was heartbroken when it broke down like this.
If Liu Jiacheng can really repair it, then he must be dreaming of it!
"Okay, that's what we've settled on."
As soon as Liu Jiacheng finished speaking, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
He agreed readily, but he didn't think of bringing carpenter's tools when he went out to play.
After seeing Liu Jiacheng's expression, the drummer felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on him.
So cool!
"Comrade...you don't know how."
Looking at Liu Jiacheng's confident expression just now, he thought he was a powerful carpenter.
"Yes, of course!"
"It's just that I didn't bring the carpenter's tools. You guys wait for me here."
Seeing Wu Xiulan's somewhat uneasy expression, Lou Xiao'e next to her comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Jiacheng's carpentry skills are fine."
Lou Xiaoe believes in Liu Jiacheng!
Although the wooden frame was seriously damaged, since Liu Jiacheng dared to say so, there must be nothing wrong with it.
The only problem is worrying that Liu Jiacheng can't find the tools.
"It's okay, I'm not worried."
"The worst I can do is pay him three yuan."
Wu Xiulan also thought about it. Three yuan was the living expenses for her and Xu Dashan for a few days.
What's the big deal!
Although the family's life is a little more miserable, they won't be unable to live just because of three yuan.
…
After a while, Liu Jiacheng came back with a complete set of carpentry tools, and a master carpenter came with him.
AKA the master of carpenter tools!
The master carpenter was not worried about borrowing a whole set of tools and came over to take a look in person.
"Comrade, can you still repair this thing?"
The carpenter just glanced at it and frowned.
The wooden frame itself is small and has become very fragile due to its age.
If it were him... he would never take this kind of job.
"Try it!"
As he spoke, Liu Jiacheng began to lay out the carpenter's tools, and stared at the damaged areas of the wooden frame and began to ponder.
The number of onlookers began to increase gradually...
"What kind of show is being performed here?"
"It's not a show. It seems that a comrade broke this wooden frame and is repairing it."
"What's so good about that?"
"Let's take a look. I heard that if this comrade repairs this wooden frame, he won't be compensated."
"Good guy! Can it be repaired even if it's broken like this?"
"Even if this is repaired, it will never be restored to the way it was before."
"..."
Under the noisy sound of gongs and drums, Liu Jiacheng arranged the tools neatly and prepared to start repairing.
"Comrade...can you really do this?"
Others said no, which made Comrade Drum panic.
What Liu Jiacheng said just now is quite confident, but no one who is not a carpenter would know.
Although it cannot be used when I bring it back like this, it is still a thought to keep at home. If all these Ding Dang Dang are turned into wooden sticks for him, then I really don’t know who to cry to.
"I'm going to repair it for you. If it's broken, I'll give you a new one, complete with the drum."
"Comrades who are watching the excitement can testify for you."
Hearing what Liu Jiacheng said, Comrade Drumming didn't stop him anymore.
"Let's testify, comrade, let's get started."
"We also testify for you. This comrade just said that he would not ask for a penny after repairing it."
"..."
The people watching the excitement suddenly became very excited.
