The Rebirth of 88 Begins with a Carpenter

Chapter 1 Brother Yao, do you want a wife?
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, a cold air swept across the land of northern Jiangsu.

Overnight, the mountains and plains were covered with a thick layer of quilts.

In an ordinary farmyard in Liyuan Village, Wu Yuan, who was naked to the waist, was rattling the standing timbers and horizontal timbers together in the windy east room, and then embedding them into the wooden boards to form a combination cabinet that is popular in southern China nowadays. .

After a while, probably tired from knocking, Wu Yuan sat down and lit a large front door.

In a trance.

Suddenly, his strong body convulsed, as if being possessed by a ghost.

It's a pity that he lives alone in this small courtyard, and no one knows about it.

I can only hold back the momentum and calm down slowly.

The cold sweat dripped down, fell into the shavings, and disappeared without a sound.

Wu Yuan was stunned to discover a fact.

He was reborn.

From rebirth in 2022 to the first month of the first year in 1988, it was actually the first day of the twelfth lunar month in 87.

From the 55-year-old who knew his destiny long ago, he returned to the 21-year-old in the prime of life.

Wu Yuan was in a very complicated mood.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the freshly baked combination cabinet in front of him, and it was even more difficult to describe it.

This set of combination cabinets is the first time he has built independently since he became a carpenter, and it is also the first brand new attempt after abandoning the old-school furniture concepts of his master.

I have to admit that in the realization and application of the mortise and tenon structure, he is already better than blue.

The entire set of combination cabinets does not use a single nail, and the seams are still tightly fitted, as stable as Mount Tai.

Even the carving details on the cabinet doors and corners are remarkable.

No wonder my previous self was very satisfied with this set of furniture.

Later, they were sold in markets in neighboring villages, hoping to earn a sum of money for the New Year.

It's a pity that it has been sold until Xiaonian, but it has not been sold.

Finally, as a last resort, it was sold to Li Ergou of the fourth team in the same village at a low price.

Only 400 yuan, but also in arrears for three years.

This became the first failure of his carpentry career, and it can even be said to be a shame.

As a result, for many years later, he had no work to do, and could only rely on making coffins for other people's houses to survive.

Now that he is a human being in two lives, Wu Yuan can see the problem at a glance.

It is not so much his first work as a carpenter; it is better to say that this is his first work as a carpenter.

At the age of 21, he is a carpenter, and he is still far from the skill and realm of a carpenter.

Just like this combination cabinet in front of you.

Obviously, the combination cabinet should be foreign and refreshing, but it looks rustic and rustic.

No wonder someone is willing to buy it!
Fortunately, for him, who has more than 30 years of woodworking experience, it is not too late to remedy the situation.

Just as he was about to dismantle the mortise and tenon structure and start over, the rhubarb barking at the door suddenly stopped.

Then, the third sister Wu Xiuhua, who was wrapped in a white gauze scarf, opened the door and came in, calling out 'Yaodi' one by one from a distance away.

"Third sister, I'm in the east room."

Wu Yuan responded, and saw someone stomping his feet at the east gate, removing the white gauze scarf, revealing his flushed cheeks.

"Why are you here in such a cold day?"

"I'm afraid you won't have anything to eat at home, so I'll bring you some dried sweet potatoes." Wu Xiuhua put down the basket, and then got straight to the point: "You'll be 22 soon after the new year, and it's time to marry a wife and start a family. Xu My big sister, if you are willing, I will send a gift of 100 yuan to someone tomorrow, settle the matter, and strive to have a happy event and a bridal chamber before the young year, so that you will not be alone during the Chinese New Year Single."

"Third sister, I'll just deal with it casually here. What about the three children in your family, you leave the red sweet potato for the children to eat."

"Don't talk about other things with me, ask you about the eldest sister of the Xu family, do you agree or not?"

Wu Xiuhua speaks quickly, Brother Yao's ability to change the subject is not easy to use in front of her.

Since it is inevitable.

Wu Yuan insisted: "Xu Yanmei can't do it, I didn't like her."

"Then tell me, who do you see?"

"I don't care about Yang Luoyan."

"The jewel in the palm of Party Secretary Yang, the little girl of the Yang family? Do you know how much Party Secretary Yang wants as a bride price? 1000 yuan, exactly 1000 yuan! 1000 yuan, even if your third brother-in-law is the village Party secretary, my family can't get it .”

Wu Yuanxin said this.

The third brother-in-law, Xiong Gang, is too righteous.

Otherwise, the third sister would not be allowed to be so 'Voldemort', bringing things from home every now and then to subsidize my younger brother.

Even Yaodi's bride price wedding has to be arranged extensively.

"Brother Yao, you have to pay attention to the right marriage. With our family's conditions, we can't marry Luo Yan. You should be realistic and consider Xu Yanmei. She is the eldest of the family, and she must be more caring than a little girl like Luo Yan..."

Wu Yuan still shook his head.

In his previous life, he listened to his third sister and married Xu Yanmei.

As a result, when spring began, Xu Yanmei couldn't bear the hard life at home and ran away with others.

Let him be completely reduced to a joke in Liyuan Village, and he will never be able to lift his head up.

Later, I followed Master to work everywhere, participated in the construction of a large auditorium, and assisted in the construction of a movie theater, but I never met a suitable woman again.

After the turn of the millennium, the real estate industry sprang up suddenly, there were suddenly more carpentry jobs, and the wages also increased. As a skilled worker, Wu Yuan's life became easier day by day.

At this time, there is no shortage of women around.

But the women who work hard on the construction site are more realistic, and it is difficult to know the hot and cold.

As for getting mixed up later, the women around me couldn't get their minds off at all.

So Wu Yuan couldn't agree with Xu Yanmei.

She could only insist: "Third sister, I will never marry Yang Luoyan in my life."

Wu Xiuhua was in a hurry, "Sister knows that Yang Luoyan is good-looking and well-groomed. But Yang Zhishu called out a sky-high price of 1000 yuan, isn't it just to stop the mouths of our rural people? He just wants to marry his precious girl to the city. Go out and become a city dweller, don't you understand?"

This is not true.

In her previous life, Yang Luoyan did marry in the city, but unfortunately her husband was a short-lived ghost, he passed away in only three years.

"Besides, Yang Luoyan was spoiled and raised since childhood, how can a girl like Xu Yanmei know the cold and the hot?"

Wu Yuan disagreed with this.

He and Yang Luoyan have been classmates for nine years, until they graduated from elementary school, and he knows that she is not delicate at all, and she is very kind.

After the death of her husband, she has been in charge of the broken family and has not remarried.At home and outside, everything is in order, and the only daughter has also been cultivated and admitted to university.

Folks from all over the world, no matter who mentions it, they will be full of praise, without saying anything.

So it was impossible for Wu Yuan to let go.

No matter how much Wu Xiuhua babbled, it was useless, and finally she said: "If you want to marry Yang Luoyan, you must earn 1000 yuan first!"

"Okay, third sister, come back in seven days."

Wu Xiuhua turned around in surprise: "Seven days later, if you don't steal or grab 1000 yuan, third sister, I will risk my face and help you marry Yang Luoyan back home!"

"Then it's a deal! Third sister, walk slowly on the way back."

"Annoy you? Let's go!"
