MTL - Being Scolded As a Loser? All the Big Guys In Beijing Are Rushing To Pamper Me

Chapter 19: A Duan Shui Master

The family sat down, and Meng smiled and said, "You have to thank Sister Nian, she shot two chickens."

Shen Liuhua has a good temperament and refuses to admit defeat. Hearing that everyone in the family was praising Shen Nian, she curled her lips unhappily.

 She is unhappy and cannot affect the mood of others.

Shen Nian bit the chicken leg, his starry eyes curled up with a satisfied look on his face.

Hearing what the eldest aunt said, he said: "No thanks, it's just convenient."

 It was rare that the Shen family's dinner table was not noisy. Everyone ate happily and felt comfortable both physically and mentally.

 After dinner, Shen Nian and Li Xiuniang went to see Brother Man.

 The little guy has just woken up, and looking at his pale face makes people feel distressed.

“How is it? Does your head still hurt?” Li Xiuniang looked at her wilted little son and felt heartbroken.

 Brother Man shook his head slightly, "It doesn't hurt, I'm just hungry."

Shen Nian stepped forward and helped him up, "My aunt made chicken soup specially for you. There is a big chicken leg. Are you hungry?"

 “Sister, have you eaten?” Brother Man asked.

Hearing that he still remembered him even now, Shen Nian felt sour in his heart, "Eat."

  Touching her brother's soft hair, she said in a soft voice, "Get well soon. I'll give you a surprise in a few days."

 “Surprise?” Brother Man’s eyes lit up and he asked curiously: “What is it?”

Shen Nian raised his chin slightly, "If it's a surprise, it must be kept secret. If you tell it in advance, it won't be a surprise. You should take good care of your injuries first."

In order to make a bed, Shen Nian made a special trip to the county to buy a set of woodworking tools.

 In this regard, Shen Er and others did not say anything.

 In their view, Nian Jie'er earns money and can spend it however she wants.

Shen Nian didn't know what her family was thinking. At the moment, she was making small ornaments to practice her skills.

 The wood needed to make the bed is very demanding, leaving a lot of leftovers.

Shen Nian was sitting on the stool, filing the knife in his hand very fast, the sawdust flew away, and fell to the ground with a flutter. His movements were like a painting.

 Shen Qian and Shen Kun were almost dazzled.

I do not know how long it has been.

Shen Nian carefully wiped off the wood residue on the ornaments, looked at the cute and exquisite pen holder, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

She is really smart. She just worked for a bad old man for a month and she has already mastered carpentry.

Shen Kun immediately took the pen holder into his hand and said, "Sister, this is the pen holder. It's really nice, but it looks a bit small."

The pen holder is one size smaller than the ordinary one, and underneath it is a rectangular, smooth wooden board that can hold an inkstone.

 The place where the brushes are hung is like a staircase, with one level higher than the other.

The most exquisite thing is that the top of the hook is carved into a vivid kitten, which is quite childlike and elegant.

"Of course it has to be a smaller size if I make it for Brother Man." Shen Nian said confidently.

Shen Kun was sore, "You made it for Brother Man, what about Second Brother?"

Shen Qian looked at Shen Nian steadily without saying a word, his meaning was obvious.

Shen Nian is a master of Duan Shui. His Shui Duan is mediocre. He glanced sideways at his two brothers and said, "Am I that kind of person? I have them all. Why don't you practice your skills first?"

 Didn’t mention making small ornaments just to make Brother Man happy.

Shen Qian clenched his hands into fists and coughed lightly, "Hey, sister, if you need help, just tell me."

Shen Nian said unceremoniously, "Okay, you guys can help me."

  She can do it alone, but it’s faster to have help.

 The two brothers nodded happily.

Shen Nian went back to the house and took out the drawings, and instructed the two brothers Shen Qian and Shen Kun to saw the wood according to the dimensions marked on it.

 The house the eldest brother and the others live in is not big, and she plans to make the most of the limited space.

 The two brothers’ beds were made into two layers.

 Install a modern wardrobe against the wall for easy placement of things.

 As for Mangeer, it’s also a bunk bed.

The difference is that in addition to the small steps for easy access to the bed, there are cabinets and desks below... The three brothers and sisters have been busy all day long. The yard is full of sawdust, and strange-shaped wooden boards are placed all over the ground.

Shen Qian looked up and realized that it was getting late. He pulled Shen Nian to stand up and move around, "It's already this time! Nian Nian, get up and move around first."

Shen Nian didn't feel tired, but he stood up with the strength of his elder brother's hand and moved his body.

 She likes to do things in one go. Frankly speaking, she wants to see the finished product and doesn’t want to wait for even a quarter of an hour.

“Brother Man’s bed needs almost everything. Let’s go in and install it.” Shen Nian said excitedly.

Of course the two brothers Shen Qian and Shen Kun were also curious and nodded without hesitation.

"Walk."

The three brothers and sister moved things into the house.

 In the room, Brother Man was still lying on the bed.

 He injured his head and was detained in the house by Li Xiuniang.

 Seeing Shen Nian, the young boy smiled and his whole face lit up, "Sister!"

The child's voice was milky, and he felt happy listening to it.

“Remember the surprise I said, it will appear in front of you soon.”

Brother Man looked at his sister's hands, but they were empty. He looked back and saw the eldest brother and the second brother coming in carrying a pile of wooden boards.

 “Where is the gift?” he asked expectantly.

Shen Nian gave it a try, "If you want a gift, you have to make room first."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to pick up Brother Man and put him on the bed of the eldest and second brother.

 Brother Man was even more looking forward to it, so he sat on the bed and waited.

Although the Shen family is a brick house, it has been built for who knows how many years. It looks grand on the outside, but it is not much better than an earth house on the inside.

Shen Nian was pampered at home, and the walls of the house were covered with oil paper. Shen Er paid someone to make the bed and cabinets, and they looked much cleaner.

But Shen Gan’s house is not so particular.

 The wall is original, with dark gray bricks and loess visible.

Remembering that she had gone to the county to buy a lot of oil paper, Shen Nian walked out the door and said to Shen Kun:

“Second brother, please move Brother Man’s bed to one side first. The place needs to be tidied up. Once the bed is installed, it will be difficult to move.”

 “Okay.” Shen Kun responded crisply, took the tools and started to pack them up, while Shen Qian was helping from the side.

Brother Man took advantage of Shen Nian to go out and asked his second brother about the 'surprise'.

“Second brother, do you know what surprise my sister has prepared for me?”

Shen Kun: “Don’t ask so many questions, you’ll find out later.”

 His sister would be angry if he said it, so he would not say anything nonsense.

Shen Nian came back soon.

Shen Qian saw what was in her hand and frowned: "Nian Nian, why did you bring the oil paper?"

"Of course I will use it." Shen Nian said and gave the oil paper to the second brother, "Second brother, use this oil paper to paste the wall."

 Speaking of this oil paper, Shen Nian felt a little disgusted.

Good oiled paper can't be scratched with a knife. I don't know what kind of oil is used on the ones I bought in the county, and the quality is average.

Perhaps she can squeeze tung oil and make oil paper herself.

However, you have to find the tung tree first.

Shen Kun didn't know what his sister was thinking. Hearing that the wall would be papered with oil paper, he was a little reluctant.

 “This is too luxurious!”

Shen Nian looked at him, his eyes calm and threatening, "Just tell me whether you are confused or not?"

 “Confused.” Shen Kun compromised for a second.
