Break out of the courtyard

After lunch, Zhang Heping asked his family to move the coffee table and small bamboo stools to the flower garden to prevent the aunts from rushing into the east wing to check if there were any missing items on the earthen kang.

Zhang Heping took out the radio, placed it in the aisle under the window on the right, plugged in the cord and played Peking Opera.

As a result, her mother, Ma Xiuzhen, went out and saw the condition of the radio. She was heartbroken and quickly put a piece of blue cloth under the radio.

The cousin Zhang Cuishan went to pull bamboo again. Zhang Heping ran to the backyard and measured the length and width of the small ear room with a hemp rope, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

A customized double bed is 1 meters wide, and a large triangular standing cabinet is placed in the right corner, which will not affect the lighting at the door.

Zhang Heping's knitting skills are already well developed, because there is no need for carving or anything like that. It didn't take him too much time to build the bed and cabinets for his cousin. He just looked at them curiously and asked about this and that. There were so many people who made it seem like they could master this craft. Learn to be ordinary.

Before going to school in the afternoon, Zhang Heping put in his cousin Zhang Cuishan's bamboo bed and the large standing cabinet on the right side of the door.

The cousin is a bachelor who doesn't like to open fire and doesn't like reading. He doesn't need a table. These two things are enough.

The second aunt next door took the second uncle to take a look at the bamboo bed, and also let the second uncle's fat body lie on the bed to try it out. It made a squeaky sound. The quality was excellent!

When Zhang Heping saw that they were thinking about something, he quickly locked the door and ran away, leaving them wanting to buy bamboo furniture for a while longer.

In the afternoon, Zhang Heping went to school and took a nap. When he came back, he was busy making furniture in the living room of the east wing again.

The first is the living room on the left side of the door. Opposite the door is the east wall, the left side is the north wall, and the right side is the two one-meter-high low walls and glass pane partitions that separate the bedroom, as well as the window on the left side of the door frame. Western Wall.

Zhang Heping planned to build a wrap-around compact bamboo cabinet combination starting from the left side of the door frame, going around the north wall on the left, to the opposite east wall, and then to the half partition wall on the right.

With the general idea in mind, Zhang Heping discussed the general purpose of each cabinet with his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and his two sisters.

Under the left-hand window, there is first a simple shoe cabinet, and then two single desks with drawers.

Next, the bookcases in the northwest corner are made two meters high, and a row of two-meter-high bamboo cabinets with doors are also made on the left north wall. The northeast corner cabinets are still two meters high, with two doors on the top and bottom. There is no door in the middle for magnification. desk clock.

最后是对面的东墙，母亲马秀珍将缝纫机放到了里面那半片隔断墙边，打算以后都放在那个位置用，遂决定以1米8、1米6、1米4、1米2这四个高矮柜组合，靠拢缝纫机后的隔断墙。

After the design was determined, Zhang Heping first made the northeast corner cabinet and the northwest corner cabinet, and packed most of the sundries on the earthen kang.

Then there is the combination of four high and low cabinets on the opposite east wall. When these four cabinets are put in, the east wall becomes very compact.

Especially the 1-meter bamboo cabinet on the left side of the sewing machine. It only has partitions and no doors. It seems to be specially matched for the sewing machine. The height is just right, and you can reach things with your left hand.

Finally, Zhang Heping made a bamboo stool based on the height of his mother, Ma Xiuzhen, and the space under the sewing machine, and placed it on the pedal under the sewing machine when not in use.

The next day, April 4, before his uncle Zhang Cheng came, Zhang Bing went to the countryside with two cans of malted milk and steamed buns and two crutches.

Zhang Heping finished all the cabinets and desks in the living room that night, and also stuffed two high-back chairs under the desk drawer under the window on the left.

The living room should have been filled with the unique fragrance of bamboo, but with too many people coming in to visit, there was a lot of complex and unspeakable odor.

Zhang Heping found that many people were counting the bamboo legs under the cabinet, and exclaimed in a low voice that there were 72 legs in the living room, plus the coffee table and ten small bamboo stools outside the door, as well as the furniture in the two side rooms. After more than a hundred legs, They just stopped counting.

On the third day, word spread in the alley that the Zhang family had many legs...

At noon on the fifth day, when Zhang Bing returned to the alley with his eldest nephew Zhang Cuishan's household registration transfer form, he met many people greeting him.

When he returned home, he found many strangers asking questions at his door.

"No! No! No amount of money will do! My son graduated from elementary school this year and is about to take the junior high school entrance examination. We can't waste time on making furniture." Ma Xiuzhen's voice came from inside the house.

Then, I saw Ma Xiuzhen coming out to chase people away, "Why am I being unreasonable to you? My son has to study now and prepare for the exam. Can't you wait until he finishes the exam before coming back?"

Zhang Bing vaguely guessed something, and with the help of his wife Ma Xiuzhen, he returned to his home after being away for three days.

Then, he was shocked by the picture he saw!

On top of the tall bamboo cabinet on the opposite wall, I saw a poem by a great man, standing prominently on the Great Wall of Mountains and Rivers.

The scenery of the Northland, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting.

Looking at the inside and outside of the Great Wall, there is nothing but mangmang;

……

They are strips of yellow bamboo strips stuck vertically on the wall. The busts of great men are vividly carved on dozens of strips in the upper left corner. Other bamboo strips have a combination of mountains, rivers and the Great Wall. Although they are not colored, they still look majestic. fill.

Then, on top of the Great Wall of Mountains and Rivers, the vertical lines of poems dyed black with ink stirred people's hearts.

Zhang Bing had never heard of whole-house customization, but he felt that his home had completely changed!

The row of two-meter-high bamboo cabinets on the left was also covered by pieces of yellow bamboo, and the carvings were of wind, snow and cold plum blossoms... When the mountain flowers were in full bloom, she smiled among the bushes.

The glass on the partition on the right is not blocked by bamboo slices, but a row of yellow bamboo slices are pasted above the glass, with carved flowers, birds, fish, deer, peaches and other objects.

And the south wall on the other side of the Tukang, where medals and certificates were originally hung, has also changed!

The wind and rain in Zhongshan turn yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river.

The tiger and the dragon beat the past, turning the world upside down and generous.

……

Under this impassioned poem, a bamboo-edged glass photo frame is embedded in the middle and upper part of the wall, in which Zhang Bing's green military uniform and medals are quietly placed.

And around this photo frame, there are engraved scenes of countless excited soldiers pouring from the left to the coast on the right. On the sea in the lower right corner, there are iron-framed ships going away one after another!

This scene was a relief carved by Zhang Heping based on the movies he had seen in his previous life. Unexpectedly, this was exactly what Zhang Bing had experienced personally!

On the beach, Zhang Bing seemed to see the lame wounded man being supported by his comrades.

"Why are you crying!" Ma Xiuzhen took out her handkerchief and wiped away Zhang Bing's tears.

"This is your son's birthday gift!" Ma Xiuzhen held Zhang Bing's left hand and asked with a smile, "Do you want to know what my son gave me as a birthday gift the day before yesterday?"

Zhang Bing looked at his wife on the left and suddenly raised his eyes. On the east wall of the earthen kang on the left, a huge relief sculpture of a family portrait burst into view!

A marriage certificate was placed between Zhang Bing and Ma Xiuzhen, who were sitting upright. Their two daughters and son squatted in front of the marriage certificate, blocking Zhang Bing's and his legs. Their mother, Xie Ermei, stood in the middle behind the couple, with incised inscriptions all around. There are many Chinese characters with different fonts.

After Zhang Bing calmed down, he continued to look at the furniture in the room.

Between the left and east half of the partition wall of the Tukang, a large bamboo cabinet is inserted, which is a little higher than the partition wall. Open it from the Tukang side and lift the lid to the partition.

Above the partition wall and on the window to the right of the Tukang, several horizontal bamboo curtains were hung. They were rolled up and not lowered.

Where the high-legged low cabinet was previously placed, now there is a tall bamboo cabinet, the height of which is the same as the earthen kang, with the door opening below.

Ma Xiuzhen said that the radio was no longer in use and was placed in the bamboo cabinet below.

Then, Ma Xiuzhen took Zhang Bing out again and walked around the row of bamboo cupboards under the right window and the radios above to see the layout of the left and right rooms.

There is a row of large bamboo cabinets in the left wing room, a large bamboo mat on the bed, and bamboo curtains on the windows. There is a double bamboo table with two drawers under the window, and two bamboo stools placed side by side underneath. There are also bamboo curtains on the surrounding walls. There are pieces of yellow bamboo posted, as well as poems by great men.

Ma Xiuzhen said that her son had allocated this room to his two sisters, and his mother, Xie Ermei, and two little girls also lived there.

Then there is the right wing where Zhang Heping lives. The poem that comes into view when opening the door is...

A young man’s wisdom will bring wisdom to the country; a young man’s wealth will make his country rich;

If young people are strong, the country will be strong; if young people are free, the country will be free.

When the red sun rises, its path shines brightly;

The river flows out and flows into the ocean.

The lurking dragon soared into the abyss, its scales and claws flying;

The tiger roars in the valley, and all the beasts are frightened.

Young people have their own youthful madness, and their bodies are like mountains and rivers with a straight spine;

Dare to measure the sun and moon again, I am the only young man at present;

……

Here you go again asking for votes...
