Reborn Great Nation Craftsman

Chapter 3
After repairing the Eight Immortals table for the aunt, Zhang Junping went on to make the promised Maza.A mazar, exaggerating the joy of the aunt, Junping's good skills, he is worthy of being a college student.

Zhang Junping is speechless, what is the necessary connection with college students if he is capable?

Just after repairing the furniture for the aunt's house, the neighbor's eldest sister came over.

Ask Zhang Junping to fix the bed.

The shaking of the bed was worse than the shaking of the Eight Immortals table.

In particular, there will be a creaking sound when shaken.

Generations of people live together, and the bed rings when you turn over at night, that's embarrassing!

Anyone who comes here knows it!

Then, the uncle in the front yard and the uncle next door connected four or five furniture repair jobs.

Although the work is not big, it has been busy for more than two hours.

I made a total of two yuan and fifty cents.

Holding the money, Zhang Junping smiled wryly in his heart.

Unexpectedly, I didn't sell the wood carvings I made meticulously for a penny. Instead, I made two yuan for repairing furniture and a carload of Hainan huanghuali.

Zhang Junping found a trolley and loaded the wood from the aunt's house on the trolley, ready to pull it back. "What are you doing? What are you doing pulling my wood?" Just as he was about to leave, a gentle middle-aged man with glasses and glasses stopped Zhang Junping and asked.

"Binzi is back?

This is Mr. Zhang, who is here to repair furniture for our family!

These woods were given to Mr. Zhang by me! "The aunt heard the voice and hurriedly came out to explain.

"Mom, why repair the broken table? It's a waste of money, it's better to replace it with a new one!"

"You child, you don't know how to live at all!
Master Xiao Zhang is very capable. After the table was repaired, it didn't shake at all!
Check it out, it's just like new! "Auntie pointed to the Eight Immortals table still in the courtyard.

"Okay! But, Mom, if he repairs furniture, he repairs furniture. Why are we pulling our wood?"

"What the hell is Master Zhang, a wood artist! And he's still a college student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts!

In our eyes, the wood that burns the pot can be turned into treasure by Mr. Zhang when he pulls it back!

No, I told him to give it to him, but he was still not happy!
After fixing the table, I don't need money, and I even made a maza! "

The aunt was so satisfied with Zhang Junping at this time that she even called him Master Zhang.

She has seen it all, repairing furniture for other people's homes doesn't bother her own home, and it costs at least fifty cents!

Not to mention that I didn't spend a penny, and I got a Maza for nothing.

If I hadn't had a brainstorm and asked Mr. Zhang to repair the furniture at home, how could it be such a good thing?

Aunt is very proud of her wise decision!

"Auntie, you are busy first, I will withdraw first!"

Because of the urging of the cart, Zhang Junping said hello to his aunt, and followed the cart out of the courtyard.

··········
Zhang Junping's temporary residence is near Caishi Street, a courtyard house in Mishi East Hutong.

A side room in a courtyard.

The ear rooms are small houses located on both sides of the main room.

The area is smaller and shorter than the main house.

The ear room is generally used as a storage room and a utility room.

Of course, there are also as study rooms.

This eight-square-meter side room is Zhang Junping's residence during the summer vacation, or the place where he settled during this period.

The rent is two yuan a month.

When Zhang Junping returned home, it was already dark.

An old lady was sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air, when she saw Zhang Junping coming back, she asked, "Boy, why did you come back?"

"Too much work today, just finished!
Grandma Liu, have you eaten yet? "

"Ate.

Boy, let's make an agreement, when will the rent be paid.

However, no fire is allowed to cook in the house! "Seeing Zhang Junping moving a carload of wood into the house, the old lady reminded.

"Grandma Liu, I can't bear to use this wood for fire!" Zhang Junping laughed.

The old lady stood up on crutches, walked to the side of the cart, took a look, and said with a smile: "Okay, kid, I found the treasure!"

"Grandma Liu, you have good eyesight!" Mrs. Zhang Junping gave a thumbs up, "Turning back, how about I use these materials to make you a happy chair?"

"Use such a good material to make me a happy chair, are you willing?" the old lady asked with a smile.

"What's there to give up? If it weren't for you, I might have starved to death on the streets long ago!"

"Okay, you have a conscience!

I don't take advantage of you, old lady, and the rent for the second half of the year will be waived for you! "The old lady generously waived Zhang Junping's rent for half a year.

This old lady is not an ordinary person, she is definitely from a big family.

Unlike the large courtyard where Aunt Wang lives, the old lady's small courtyard is her own.

It was returned to the old lady after implementing the policy last year.

There was only the old lady in the whole courtyard, and Zhang Junping's presence filled the courtyard with some vitality.

In fact, the East and West Wings were also vacant, but Zhang Junping couldn't afford to rent them.

It costs five yuan for a room in the East and West Wings.

"Grandma Liu, there is no need for rent-free rent!

I wouldn't be able to earn this wood without the set of tools you gave me!

How can I make you free of rent again! "Zhang Junping hastily postponed.

"Okay, I'm a lonely old lady, what do I need so much money for?
Boy, haven't you eaten yet?

There is still half a pot of rice porridge left in my pot, and it will be broken tomorrow if I keep it, you can solve it! "

"Grandma Liu, thank you..." Zhang Junping was moved.

This old lady is definitely his noble person and his savior.

The predecessor of this body, also named Zhang Junping, was a college student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

College students in this age prefer to participate in social practice.

The predecessor, under the banner of participating in social practice, did not go home during the summer vacation and stayed in Beijing to work and earn money.

As a result, the money is not made, and people are starving in the streets.

Zhang Junping has been fulfilled!

If it weren't for the old lady, Zhang Junping might have become the shortest-lived traveler in history.

As soon as I crossed over, I was starved to death!
It was the old lady who found him fainted on the street and fed him some millet porridge to revive him.

Knowing that Zhang Junping is a college student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he didn't go home during the summer vacation, and now he has no place to go, so he cleaned out the side room where he kept the sundries and gave him a place to live.

Later, I found out that Zhang Junping was good at wood art, so he took out a set of wood art tools and gave them to him.

Of course, what the old lady said was that the old man in the family kept it to occupy space, and it happened to be useful for him, so it was cheaper for him.

For the old lady's kindness, Zhang Junping can only temporarily remember it in his heart.

.........

the next day.

Zhang Junping got up early and did not set up a stall.

Instead, stay at home and fulfill yesterday's promise: to make a leisure chair for the old lady.

"Boy, there's a bit too much noodles in the morning, and you'll be overwhelmed by noon, so eat it!

This person is useless when he is old, and he can't even nod his head when he cooks! "The old lady got up earlier than him, saw Zhang Junping open the door, and shouted to him.

What can Zhang Junping say, he can only eat the noodles gratefully.

After eating the noodles, Zhang Junping took the initiative to clean the pot, wash the dishes, and tidy up neatly before taking out the tools and starting to work!
"Boy, are you not going out today?"

"If you don't go out today, I'll make you an easy chair first, and it's not too late to set up a stall tomorrow!" Zhang Junping said with a smile.

I added in my heart, I can't sell it anyway.

The old lady didn't refuse Zhang Junping's offer to make a happy chair for herself, and readily accepted Zhang Junping's kindness.

The old lady had nothing to do, she just sat in the yard and watched Zhang Junping work.

Seeing Zhang Junping's quick movements of drawing lines and cutting materials, he nodded with a smile, "That's right, boy, you have the skills, you can go anywhere in the world, and you won't starve to death wherever you go!"

"Grandma Liu, you are hitting me in the face! If it weren't for your bowl of millet porridge, I would have starved to death on the street!"

"Haha!" Thinking of Zhang Junping's embarrassment at that time, Grandma Liu couldn't help laughing.

"You kid is not bored, the shelf of a college student is too high!

Artisans are not ashamed!

Are you studying Chinese painting?
Do you know what painters were called in the past?

Call a painter!
The status is not much higher than that of the carpenter!
Back then, Qi Baishi was also a carpenter, and he learned carpenter carving!
Boy, remember one sentence, mules and horses are valuable when they grow up, but they are worthless when they grow up!

Whether you are painting or being a carpenter, you have to slump down and experience life in order to achieve something!
If you set yourself too high, you are far away from life, floating in the clouds, how can you create good works?

Mr. Qi's artistic achievements are inseparable from the word "native land..."

"Grandma Liu, you're right! I'm thinking about it too. Artists who are not artists can't be eaten as food!

In the afternoon, I will find some wood and come back to make a few mazzas to sell. It is probably more popular than that wood carving! "Zhang Junping said with a wry smile.

What happened yesterday made Zhang Junping completely think about it.

What happened to being a carpenter?What about furniture repairs?

Mr. Deng said, it doesn't matter whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat!

In this day and age, artists are really not as popular as carpenters.

Of course, what we are talking about here is not the kind of great artists, such as national masters of arts and crafts, art world leaders who design RMB and national flags.

Such a big guy, who enjoys State Council allowances, naturally cannot be compared with ordinary artists.

"Boy, it's good if you can think about it, my old lady sees that you are attracted to each other, and also hopes that you will achieve something in the future!
When you really become an artist someday, I'll show off when I go out to chat! "The old lady said cheerfully.

The old and the young were talking and working at the same time, and the time passed little by little without knowing it.

········
Zhang Junping, who stayed at home to work, did not know that there was a middle-aged man at the place where he set up his stall yesterday, looking for him everywhere.

This middle-aged man is the son of the aunt who repaired the furniture yesterday, Wang Bin.

Wang Bin was looking for Zhang Junping everywhere, not because Zhang Junping took away a cart of precious wood from his family yesterday.

Wang Bin is the deputy head of the Tianqiao Second-hand Goods Station.

As for the wood that Zhang Junping took away yesterday, Wang Bin dare not say how much he wants, and it will not be a problem to get three or five carts.

There are so many thrift stores for this thing, it's not worth much at all!

The reason why Wang Bin is so anxious to find Zhang Junping is entirely because he is now at a very critical moment.

The old webmaster will retire at the end of the year.

He is one of two deputy station chiefs who are expected to take over the position of the old station chief.

Compared with the other deputy station master, he doesn't have much advantage, it can be said that he is evenly matched.

If you want to win, you must have excellent political achievements, or achievements.

Zhang Junping is the noble person he discovered and thought could help him win the battle for successor.
