The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

After preparing everything, the first step is to use a big saw to cut the log into 5 cm thick boards.

Thinking that it could be used as a dining table, desk, workbench, etc. in the future, I gave appropriate consideration to its appearance.

In fact, it is a large rectangular table that maintains the original characteristics of the logs.

The overall size is 2000*1000mm in length and width, and the four corners are four strong columns.

The upper half of the columns are connected with beams.

All mortise and tenon structures are constructed without any iron nails, and a large number of techniques such as straight, oblique, belted and stuffy are used.

The whole work is rough, strong and grand.

According to contemporary people's aesthetics, this is a junk thing, and its only advantage is that it is durable.

If it were left to later generations, it would be realism again.

The movement in Li Yuan's room finally attracted the curious people in the courtyard.

Some aunts, aunts, and daughters-in-law came to visit in groups.

"Xiao Li, look at your moves, you are pretty good at it. When did you learn it?" the third aunt said in surprise.

"Hehe, I just watched other people do it, but I have no money and no time, so I thought I was doing it by myself. It's for my own family anyway, so I don't mind if it doesn't work well."

"You use this tool quite well, but this object is made a little bit..."

The aunt wanted to say it was ugly, but she couldn't say it in person, so she hesitated and didn't know how to express it.

"Oh, it's my first time doing carpentry. If you can't fail, it's a success."

After the other aunt finished speaking, she carefully pushed the table.

When I found that it was very stable, I increased my strength. The table was still very stable, but it was pushed back a few centimeters.

Seeing this, other people also pushed and shook.

In the end, the unified conclusion is that things are strong and stable.

"Oh, Xiao Li is determined to have this skill, but his style is a bit different..."

"It's a bit ugly," the second aunt blurted out.

Although everyone found it harsh, they also expressed their feelings.

"Xiao Li, you should become a master and learn how to shape furniture. You will definitely become a good carpenter in the future," the second aunt said with a smile.

"Haha, Xiao Li is now a technician in a factory. He has a bright future. What kind of carpenter can he be?"

The third aunt heard what the second aunt said was unpleasant, and she immediately yelled back.

"His second aunt, that's what I'm saying, why are you so anxious?"

"Huh, I'm just talking about the situation, I don't mean to target anyone."

In the recent period, the Liu family has always been targeting the Yan family, especially the women of the two families, and they often quarrel in the courtyard.

"I think you are deliberately targeting me just to please the Li boy!"

"It's not easy for Yuanzi to be alone, but you have the nerve to target her again and again." The three aunts were full of fire.

"How did we target you? You must explain it clearly today."

"We are not blind. You all know what you have done."

"Okay, please stop arguing. Thank you all for caring about me. You are all so angry, don't hurt everyone's harmony because of me.

Besides, it’s getting late, and it will be time to get off work soon.”

Other women also helped to persuade, but after a while, everyone left the Li family.

Li Yuan subconsciously rubbed his temples, thinking that he would have to go to the Yan family for a while. The third aunt stood up for him, so he had to show something.

As for the second aunt, a woman, he didn't bother to talk to her.

Even Yi Zhonghai didn't pay attention to his current state of mind. How could he care about her, a woman who only gossiped.

After the workbench was completed, he used the space to clean up the house.

Then put it in a bamboo basket and place it in a space, so that it can be used as a fire starter in the future.

In the evening, I brought a portion of pig offal (viscera and intestines) to Yan's house for dinner.

The pig's urine was what he got for signing in. He didn't like the taste, so he kept it there. Today was just a gift in return.

The next days were spent making wooden stools.

For two whole days, he stayed at home except for going to the bathroom.

In the evening, He Yuzhu brought his daughter-in-law over to sit and watch Li Yuan's extensive processing methods, and soon felt bored.

I took my wife back home and studied body aesthetics.

Finally, before 7pm the next day, all 8 stools were completed.

Keep the same rough style as the table, all stools, one shape.

Square, plus a backrest.

Considering ergonomics, special treatment has been made on the stool surface and backrest.

Appropriately make concave, curvature, rounded edges and other process components.

The entire stool maintains the unique rough style of the log while adding ergonomic elements.

Put together with the table, it looks harmonious and soft.

Instantly, the overall temperament of the table is improved.

Make a cup of Yuqian Longjing, sit on the newly completed stool, and enjoy it.

The Longjing Tea before the Rain is what you get by signing in. You can only enjoy it when you are alone.

Looking at the tables and stools in front of me, I am full of achievements.

This is his first set of works. Although they look crude, the workmanship is not fine enough and there are no exquisite carvings.

But he likes the natural color of this kind of wood

It’s not that he can’t do it, but thinking about what will happen in a few years,

The more common something is, the safer it is.

Otherwise, if a good thing is recognized as the Four Olds, it won't hurt for a long time.

These pieces of furniture are his first work. If they become famous in the future, they may not have any commemorative value.

He has now begun to indulge in obscenity and begins to formulate the content of his autobiography.

After dinner, before he could take action, He Yuzhu came home again with his wife.

As soon as he entered the door, he let out a burst of exclamation.

"My God, Xiao Yuanzi, you really made tables and chairs."

He touched the table and stool carefully, fearing that they would fall apart accidentally.

His wife looked amused and quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes. He Yuzhu pretended not to know.

He shook the stool gently again and found that there was no sign of looseness at all. Carefully sit on it, move your butt, and then try rocking it back and forth.

"Oh! Okay, it's really like that!"

"The stuff is pretty good, it's mine!"

"What are you thinking about? This is my first work, it is of great significance.

If you want, you can prepare the wood yourself and I will do it for you for free. Then just treat me to wine and meat! "

"No problem. I like solid things like this. But is it too simple? Can it be decorated simply?"

"As long as the food and wine are in place, everything will be fine."

"Then it's settled!"

He ran to the stove, replaced a briquette, then pulled a stool and put it next to the stove.

"Daughter-in-law, sit here, it's warm here!"

Tian Xiujuan's pretty face turned red, she rolled her eyes at him, pulled a stool and sat at the table.

He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously and just laughed silly.

The two talked about house renovations, and He Yuzhu's interest greatly increased.

"Brother, you start with the instructions. If the effect is good, I will also decorate my home accordingly.

The house looks big now, but it will look tight when I have children in the future.”

"My house is relatively short, and your house is the tallest in the whole hospital. It can be transformed into a real double-story house by then," Li Yuan suggested.

"The relationship is good, how to rectify it, I have to rely on you!"

"No problem! I will draw a drawing first and let the master take a look. When this is over, I will decorate your house immediately."

When He Yuzhu thought of a two-story house, he no longer considered whether it was beautiful or not. Having more rooms was the last word.

Suddenly He Yuzhu changed the topic, "The Jia family has not been peaceful recently, and Jia Dongxu often scolds the Jia family's sister-in-law. You can tell me, a big-bellied woman, the whole family has to take care of her."

Xiujuan couldn't bear to look at it and wanted to ask you if you had any good ideas."
