Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space

Gu Yunxi smiled at Yuan's sister-in-law, then squatted down carefully to observe the workmanship of the sofa.

I have to say that the Yuan father and son are worthy of their many years of carpentry experience. The sofa is very finely made and there is no mistake at all.

Even the lacquering, carving, scratching and inlaying are flawless.

Everything was made completely according to Gu Yunxi's design.

"Uncle Yuan, Brother Yuan, your sofa is very well made, it looks like this!"

"Once the cushions are ready today, put them on and the sofa will be complete!"

Although the sofa is now made, there is still some moisture in the wood, so it needs to be left to dry naturally.

Therefore, Gu Yunxi planned to leave the sofa at Yuan's house to continue drying, and then take it over and assemble it after the cushions were ready.

Now, she has other important matters to discuss with the Yuan family.

"Uncle Yuan, Brother Yuan, these are the drawings of some furniture I recently designed. Can you guys see if you can make them?"

She has been very busy these two days and has designed many large and small furniture at home.

Combining practicality with the characteristics of the furniture here, she made some innovations and planned to make furniture that is durable, comfortable, and creative.

What I learned in my previous life has not been wasted in this life, and I have used it all to my heart’s content!

Uncle Yuan and the eldest brother of the Yuan family took it and the more they looked at it, the more surprised they were.

These furniture drawings looked somewhat similar to the furniture they had seen before, but upon closer inspection, they were not.

There are even custom-made wardrobes, with a variety of styles, which make the Yuan family's father and son's blood boil.

"Yun Xi, these, these things, how on earth did you come up with them?"

Uncle Yuan has been a carpenter all his life, but he never knew that a cabinet could be designed like this!

It looks good, can store a lot of things, and doesn't take up much space. It is much more convenient than the boxes and baskets they use to store clothes now.

Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "I also racked my brains and designed it many times before finally leaving these behind."

The Yuan family father and son admired Gu Yunxi very much.

"Yunxi, if I follow the drawings you gave me, I can print these things, but it may take a lot of effort."

The design drawings of these cabinets are very complicated at first glance, and a lot of boards are required. It may take several days to make one cabinet.

Gu Yunxi smiled when she heard this. It was pretty much what she had guessed.

There are only two carpenters in the Yuan family, father and son, and they can't work that fast. Why not get some help from outside?

So, Gu Yunxi took the initiative to say, "Uncle, do you know any other carpenters? I was thinking that if we open our shop in the future, we will need a lot of wood."

"If you know other carpenters, you could consider purchasing some wood from them, so that we can process it directly and make furniture much faster."

"In the future, when we need more wood, we can directly ask the villagers to go up the mountain to cut wood and pay them for their work."

As soon as these words were spoken, both Yuan's father and son were moved.

Why didn't they think of this before? They were only obsessed with making this sofa. Now that they heard Gu Yunxi say this, they also felt that it was very feasible.

After saying that, Uncle Yuan nodded immediately: "Yes, I know all the carpenters in Jihu Town!"

He has been in this business for decades, and Jihu Town is not big, so how could he not know those carpenters?

Besides, these carpenters often get together to talk about how many jobs they have taken recently and how much money they have earned, just to show off!

"Yunxi, I'll go ask them right now and buy the wood right away."

There is not much wood stored at home. Seeing that Yun Xi gave me so many design drawings, if I print them all out, I don’t know how much wood I will need.

Even if you ask one carpenter to buy wood, you may not be able to buy enough. You may need to ask several carpenters!

Uncle Yuan packed up and was about to go out immediately. When Aunt Yuan saw this, she quickly told her son to go with him.

"Gangzi, you should follow your father and grandfather to meet other carpenters. Maybe you will need to interact with them in the future." Aunt Yuan instructed.

Gangzi originally wanted to follow, but when he heard his grandmother's words, he ran out and followed her.

"Hey, slow down, this kid..." Mrs. Yuan came out of the kitchen, looked at Gangzi's back, and couldn't help shaking her head.

"Come on, Yunxi, have some sugar water."

Mrs. Yuan went to the kitchen and made a bowl of sugar water for Gu Yunxi. Gu Yunxi took it with a smile but did not drink it.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to drink it, it’s just that the sugar water here is not purely sweet, but has been left for a long time and tastes a little sour.

She had been to several families before, and the sweet soup they made for her all tasted like this.

She didn't want to say it out loud at the time, and she suspected that the candy had been stored for too long and must have expired.

Alas, sometimes, being too well-intentioned can also be a burden.

She sat for a while, smiling, chatting with Aunt Yuan and Yuan's eldest sister-in-law, talking about things in the village.

Aunt Yuan suddenly said, "I heard in the village that when your aunt gave birth to a child, your grandmother brought half a basket of eggs to her, but she was rejected by your aunt's mother-in-law."

"It's funny to say that your grandma didn't have any temper in front of your aunt and mother-in-law. She even promised with a smile that she would send half a basket of eggs over later!"

When Gu Yunxi heard this, there was no expression on her face. It wasn't just one or two days that Old Lady Gu had been partial to her.

But she really found it strange. Her younger aunt was also a girl. Why was it that Mrs. Gu, who favored boys over girls, loved her younger aunt so much?

Is it just because my aunt had a daughter in her old age?

"My grandma is so good to my aunt. It's a blessing to have a daughter in old age." Gu Yunxi said sourly.

Aunt Yuan sighed and said, "Your aunt is not just an old girl. Before your aunt was born, a wandering monk came to your house to ask for water."

"At that time, your mother had already married into our family, but she hadn't given birth to you yet."

"Your mother felt sorry for the monk and gave him a bowl of water. Your grandmother, who was pregnant with your aunt, just happened to walk out the door."

"When the monk saw your grandma, he was so shocked. What he said on the spot made your grandma happy for a long time. She boasted about it in the village for a long time!"

Gu Yunxi was stunned and asked hurriedly, "What did the wandering monk say?"

Aunt Yuan recalled carefully and said, "I don't remember the details very clearly, but I still remember the general meaning, which is that your Gu family will definitely have a promising daughter in the future."

"Your grandmother was so happy at that time. She was absolutely sure that the girl the wandering monk was talking about was the child she was carrying. When she was born, she found out that it was indeed a girl, and she was immediately overjoyed."

"Look, over the years, even though your aunt doesn't know anything, your grandma still believes that your aunt's great fortune is still to come."

After a pause, Aunt Yuan continued, "If you ask me, the wandering monk was not talking about your aunt at all, but you, Yunxi."
