After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 141 Woodworking Show

Guan Youshuang recalled a handicraft competition organized by an association at school in her previous life.

At that time, a classmate made a hairpin that was so exquisite that it amazed everyone!

Guan Youshuang fell in love with carpentry at that time and bought a lot of tools on Taobao.

For a while, she locked herself at home every Saturday and weekend and tinkered with various things.

With her talent, passion and eagerness to learn, she made rapid progress.

She made a foot basin for grandpa, a hairpin for grandma, a pipe for dad, and a handbag for mom.

She thought she did a good job, and her relatives all liked it when they saw it. They said they had never seen such exquisite handmade gifts and they all wanted her to help make one.

Some relatives are even willing to pay for customization.

At that time, she even wanted to open a small handicraft shop specializing in high-end woodworking gifts.

But later, because she was writing the Lexue live broadcast system and had to work on her graduation project, she had limited time and her tools were left aside to gather dust.

After that, I never had the chance to touch those tools again.

When she heard that the master was going to do carpentry work, her eager heart began to be suppressed again.

She was so excited that she quickly asked, "Master, can I help you make the windlass later?"

The well digger nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."

Wang Huiying smiled and said, "Just do the woodworking. Why would a girl waste her energy on this? Go back to your room and have a rest."

Gu Errong said: "Mom, it's okay, let Youshuang try."

The old master finished smoking, stood up and said, "Where do you have wood? Let me choose some."

"Come on, I'll take you there."

Gu Errong took his master into the backyard and Guan Youshuang followed.

The master craftsman immediately took a liking to a few thick sycamore trees.

The paulownia tree has a hard texture, is water-resistant and rot-resistant, making it most suitable for making well windlasses.

The old master squatted down and observed the pieces of wood carefully.

He tapped gently, listening to the sound echoing, trying to find the density of the wood.

Guan Youshuang asked: "Master, are there any tips for choosing wood?"

"You need to choose wood with uniform wood quality, straight grain, and no large knots."

The old master pointed to the one in the middle and said, "This one is good. Do you have any other uses for this wood?"

Gu Errong smiled and said, "It's useless, just use it casually."

As he spoke, Gu Errong carried the wood to the front yard.

"Master, if you want more space, you can do it here."

The old master walked out and took out tools such as hand saw, axe, chisel, wood file, sandpaper and carpenter knife from his wooden box full of tools.

Then return to the yard.

Such a familiar tool.

The master craftsman skillfully sawed the wood into long strips, and then began to demonstrate his axe skills.

He swung the axe in his hand rhythmically, methodically chipping away the excess wood.

Gradually, the wooden block took the shape of a windlass.

Next comes the carving and polishing process.

Guan Youshuang's hands were itching to do so, so she asked, "Master, can you draw a hole so I can chisel it a little bit?"

"You like carpentry too?" The old master cheerfully took the pencil from his ear, drew the groove of the windlass on the wood block, and said, "Then you can try this."

Guan Youshuang picked up the chisel and carefully chiseled the wood, striving for precision with every stroke.

After chiseling, she picked up the sandpaper and vigorously polished the surface and groove of the wooden block until it was smooth, and handed it to the master craftsman.

The old master nodded, very happy: "Not bad, not bad. Have you learned carpentry before?"

Guan Youshuang said: "I just watched others do it, and I happened to have the tools at home, so I tried to play with it for a while."

The master gave him a thumbs up and praised him, "You are quite talented."

While the master craftsman was making the axle and rim, Guan Youshuang picked up the woodworking knife and carefully carved some simple patterns.

Gu Errong was really shocked.

He never knew that Guan Youshuang was actually good at carpentry!

How many secrets does this woman have that he doesn't know?

It was already evening by the time the windlass was installed.

The news that Guan Youshuang was good at carpentry spread like wildfire throughout the village.

Peng Xiaoling felt very upset and wanted to talk to Huang Chunyan, but she didn't know her phone number, so she went to find Fu Ruihua.

Fu Ruihua has no worries about food and clothing, so she is quite free every day.

Peng Xiaoling picked up a few prickly cucumbers that she grew herself.

After chatting about family matters for a while, she said, "Sister-in-law, your family is not short of money, why don't you dig a well?"

Fu Ruihua picked up the cucumber, lifted her clothes to wipe it, took a bite, and said, "I want it too, but our location is not good. It's hard to get water."

Peng Xiaoling lowered her voice and said, "Oh my god, people nowadays can really say anything. She just randomly chiseled a hole in the wood and said it was amazing that she was good at carpentry."

"Are you talking about Errong's wife?"

"Yes, now everyone in the village says she is a carpenter. It's really hilarious."

"Is she really that good? Yanlin's father just came back and said that there were patterns carved on the windlass."

"It's just a simple flower, how difficult is it? What I want to say is that people like her love to show off too much."

Fu Ruihua chewed a cucumber and said, "She has a younger sister who married to Zhaogou. When I went to the market a few days ago, I happened to meet someone from Zhaogou who said that her sister was clumsy and couldn't even cook. Do you think there can be such a big difference between sisters?"

"That's right, so I think this carpentry work must have been done by a master craftsman. People like her are shameless. She just pretended to do it and took the credit for herself."

"That makes sense. She loves to be in the spotlight. Last time when the embroidery factory opened, even the director of the carpet factory moved in."

"Speaking of this, I heard another thing."

“Speaking of this, I also heard something. Wasn’t the contractor who built the embroidery factory her brother-in-law?

I heard that they originally planned to let her sister cook, and her sister wanted to live in their house. As you know, Ruyi and Chunyan both went out of town, so there was an empty room all year round.

But Guan Youshuang refused to let her sister live there, so her sister had no choice but to go back, and Liu Aidi took her place. "

"You do this to your own sister?"

"Yes, you said her mother was indeed a bit too much. It's understandable that she treats her mother badly, but her own sister didn't offend her. What's the big deal about just staying for a few days?"

"This kind of woman is too cunning. She has only been married for a few days, but she has already made Gu Errong's parents confused. We should have less contact with this kind of person in the future."

Peng Xiaoling was like she had found a confidant. She pulled Fu Ruihua's hand and said, "That's right, sister-in-law. I thought the same thing. You just said what was in my heart. Okay, sister-in-law, you go get busy. Xiaofan will probably be back soon. I have to go cook for him."

Peng Xiaoling returned home to cook and found that there was no water in the bucket.
