Chapter 20 What a fastidious person
Chapter 20 What a fastidious person
Shen Qian shook his head and laughed, and went to build a wall with his coward brother.
Shen Nian smiled with satisfaction and started tinkering with the pile of wood.
The movements are neat, like building blocks that have been practiced a hundred times. It looks unusually easy.
Shen Qian and Shen Kun were also used to the job, and they had the wall put up in less than two-quarters of an hour.
Once the wall was covered, the whole room became bright and open.
Shen Nian took the time to take a look and gave a thumbs up, "Not bad, fast and good."
Shen Kun was scratching his head at his sister's straightforward words of praise. He came close to her, glanced at the half-finished product in front of Shen Nian, and said, "You also did a good job. What will happen next? My second brother will be with you."
Shen Nian agreed immediately, "Okay, help me hold it up."
Shen Qian also stepped forward to help.
With help, Shen Nian's speed became faster.
I saw her picking up pieces of wood and quickly putting them together, knocking and fixing them from time to time.
The entire bed adopts a mortise and tenon structure, with concave and convex nested connections between the components, making it a natural fit.
I do not know how long it has been.
Shen Nian installed the last board.
She breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on her face, "Okay!"
Brother Man couldn't help but get out of bed and looked at the bed that his sister had assembled. His eyes were very bright, as if there were stars inside.
“Sister, is this a surprise?”
Shen Nian nodded, "Yes! Do you like it? The top is the bed, and the bottom is the table and cabinet."
“I like it.” Brother Man nodded happily, walked up the steps and climbed to the second bed.
One side of the steps is next to the wall, and the other side is next to the table below. There are "guardrails" on both sides, which is very safe.
Brother Man sat on the bed and grabbed the guardrail beside the bed, with an excited face, "Sister, is this for me?"
Shen Nian hummed and said deliberately: "No."
Brother Man was dumbfounded. He got off the bed with a straight leg and hugged her waist. He imitated the childish devil in the village and said, "Sister, what a good sister~"
The little guy has always been stoic, and usually behaves like an adult, but suddenly he acts coquettishly, and everyone has no choice but to surrender.
“What’s yours, what’s yours, it’s all yours.” Shen Nian said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, I took the pen holder I had made earlier and put it on the table.
“There is still a need for a stool.” Shen Nian said.
He said, slightly frowning, as if he was still a little dissatisfied, "This room is too dark. When I have money, I will get you a luminous pearl and hang it on your head. Then you can read and write without hurting your eyes."
Shen Qian and Shen Kun: “!!”
Night, brightness, pearl…
Sister, I really dare to think.
Brother Man was so happy that he raised his thin face and said, "Thank you, sister. I will study hard in the future and support my sister."
The child said it solemnly. Shen Nian thought that he didn't know where he heard it. The child needed encouragement, so he cheered him up, "Come on, I'll wait."
Man Ge'er was confused, "Come on?"
“…It means working harder.” Shen Nian explained.
“Oh, I’ll do my best!” The little guy clenched his fists.
In such a short time, Shen Kun had already helped to make the bed.
He lay on it and enjoyed the new bed very much.
“Oh, it’s so comfortable.”
After saying that, he looked down at his younger brother and discussed with a smile, "Brother Man, can you let the second brother sleep on this bed for one night?" This was made for him by his sister, and Brother Man was reluctant to give it to his second brother. Not even late!
"No." Brother Man refused. He was afraid that the second brother would be sad. He frowned and said, "If the second brother wants a new bed, just wait. When I grow up, find a carpenter to make it for you."
Shen Qian glanced at Shen Kun and said, "Okay, come down quickly and follow me to clean up the house."
“Brother, you must be envious of me.” Shen Kun muttered and jumped out of bed.
At this time, Man Geer brought a stool from outside and placed it in front of the table.
I put my little gadget, the big grasshopper compiled by my third uncle, in the square grid on the cabinet, and the book my sister bought was placed solemnly on the desk.
After Shen Nian saw it, he took a step forward, touched the bulge of the wooden board on the left side of the table, and gently pulled it, and vertical blocks came out.
She put the book up and pushed it again, and the book got stuck inside.
“This is specially used for storing books, have you learned it?” Shen Nian raised his eyebrows, obviously very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
Brother Man’s eyes were starry, and he nodded like garlic, “Okay, sister is so awesome.”
Shen thought proudly, "It's necessary."
Shen Er and Li Xiuniang found that the yard suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound for a long time. They were curious and went to see it without much thought.
Entering their sons’ house, the couple immediately saw the new double-decker wooden bed.
Li Xiuniang was stunned, "Is this a bed? Why is it a double-decker bed? This is so majestic!"
“I sleep on it, and there is a table below. The house looks clean.” Shen Er also had a fresh look on his face.
Just when Brother Man couldn't help but want to share his joy with others, he saw his parents and said quickly: "Dad, mom, my sister made this for me."
“Nian Nian can also make beds. Her skills are no worse than those of an old carpenter.” Shen Er praised without feeling strange at all.
Li Xiuniang also didn’t say a word of doubt.
Shen Nian thought about his words in advance, "???"
“Dad, Mom, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Li Xiuniang smiled, "What's weird?"
She shook her head and said: "The founder of Dai Viet received a gift from heaven when he was a beggar. He started with a banner and made his first pot of gold by telling people's fortunes. Later, Dai Viet came into existence.
There are smart people everywhere. You are so smart, but you know how to do carpentry. "
Not to mention the wise and great founder emperor, there was also a man from the next door county who suddenly became interested in embroidery.
I heard that the girl married the current Qing king and her family moved to Zhongdu. It was a great blessing.
“…”Start with a banner? He was tricked and tricked into getting some equipment. He was really particular about people, Shen Nian sighed.
Shen Er was worried that the bed made by his daughter would be missed by "careful people" and Niannian's hard work would be in vain. He told his three sons, "Keep the door closed when you go out. If someone moves it away, you will continue to sleep in a broken bed."
The words about being moved away were not nonsense, but something that Lao Gao and the others could really do.
Shen Qian nodded, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it."
No one can take away the things his sister gave him, even if it is a handful of dirt!
Half of the house was clean and tidy, and the other half was messy. Li Xiuniang couldn't stand it, so she tidied it up.
While tidying up, he said with a smile: "Niannian did this, the house is much more pleasing to the eye, and everything here is messy."
Shen Kun glanced over with an aggrieved look.
…Sister is partial!
Shen Nian's eyes flashed with guilt, and he said confidently: "The eldest brother and the second brother also have new beds, and the wood is in the yard."
Shen Kun grinned and patted his chest, "Second brother, I'll give you a hand."
Shen Qian glanced at the silly brother who stole his words, with a gentle smile on his face, "And me."
-
night.
Man Geer was lying on the new bed, so happy that he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Shen Qian and Shen Kun heard the rustling sound of turning over and turned into lemon essence.
