Fang Qin hadn't returned home yet. She called Cao Ze halfway on the way and told him what had just happened. That was not all. She told all the relatives and friends she could contact.

The relatives who originally wanted to take advantage of her misfortune all gave up the idea. They didn't want to lend money to Lu Chengcheng. What if she couldn't pay it back?

In the days that followed, Lu Chengcheng had peace and quiet and achieved his goal perfectly.

……

In the evening, the walls on the second floor of the old house were all covered with cement mortar. Next, we need to wait for the cement mortar to dry before we can proceed to the next step.

Since there was no way to do any construction on the old house, Lu Chengcheng was not idle either. She planned to renovate the old furniture.

In front of the camera, Lu Chengcheng laid out the old furniture that needed to be renovated. She was going to renovate a chair first: "Hello everyone, I'm Lu Chengcheng. Because the old house will take a few days to be renovated, so today we are going to do the renovation work..."

Lu Chengcheng fetched a basin of water, put a towel and a brush in it, and washed off the dust and dirt on the chair before painting it.

"I made this chair out of mahogany more than ten years ago. I can still sit on it, but it's been so long that it's a little shaky."

Today is the weekend, Su Yanglan is also playing here, and he said, "Sister, you can borrow a nail gun to nail the chair, their workers have it."

Lu Chengcheng thought it was a good idea, so he searched Baidu for how to use a nailing machine, and then sent a WeChat message to Xiao Zhao: "Can I use your nailing machine?"

Xiao Zhao replied: "Sure, you can use it."

Lu Chengcheng replied, "Thank you." Then she went to get the nail driver and tried it with a piece of broken wood according to the method found on Baidu. After she learned how to use it, she used it on the chair.

Lu Chengcheng was really unfamiliar with using tools, but fortunately he had a good brain and mastered it after trying a few times. Then he turned the chair over and hammered the nails into it.

After nailing four nails, Lu Chengcheng lifted up the chair and shook it, and the chair became stable.

Then Lu Chengcheng went and got the other five chairs and nailed them down together. The chairs that were originally wobbly were no longer wobbly at all.

Lu Chengcheng put down the tools and continued cleaning.

Pour water on the chair, brush every part with a brush, rinse it again with water, wipe it dry with a towel, and hang it up to dry.

There are six chairs in total, and Lu Chengcheng cleaned them all and is now hanging them out to dry.

Su Yanglan helped by fetching water for Lu Chengcheng.

Lu Chengcheng supported his waist and sighed, "Doing physical work is really hard on the body."

Su Yanglan brought a small stool: "Sister, sit down and rest for a while."

Lu Chengcheng said: "Okay, you take a break too."

Su Yanglan looked at the six chairs and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you going to change the chairs into?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "Just renovate it, there's no need to specially transform it into anything."

Su Yanglan said: "Looking at the original appearance of this chair, it should be very beautiful."

"I was still young when I bought this chair, so I didn't know what it looked like, but I should know after it is refurbished." Lu Chengcheng stood up and got the renovation tools, such as sandpaper, putty of the same color, etc.

The transformation is not simple and requires many tools and materials.

By the time she took it, the chair was almost dry. Lu Chengcheng took the chair and first sanded the damaged parts with sandpaper.

The yard was filled with rustling sounds.

Su Yanglan pointed at the back of the chair and said, "Sister, what kind of carving is this?"

Lu Chengcheng said: "It's a little blurry, I can't see it clearly, but I can roughly tell what kind of flower it is."

Su Yanglan looked at it carefully and said, "It's really a carving."

Lu Chengcheng used sandpaper to polish the damaged parts and said, "We'll know after we renovate it."

After sanding off all the damage on the chair, you can apply putty.

Lu Chengcheng bought several colors of putty. If the color is not right, she can mix it again, so there is no need to worry about not using the right color.

Use a small scraper to stir the putty evenly, then scrape out some and place it on the damaged location, apply the putty evenly on that location, and try to press the putty into the gap.

After applying putty, you need to wait for it to dry. At this time, you can sand off the old paint on the chair. Only after the old paint is sanded off can you apply new paint.

After finishing the first chair, it was time for lunch.

Lu Chengcheng and Su Yanglan went home together to have lunch.

After lunch, Lu Chengcheng came over to modify the chair again. She hadn't done something so seriously for a long time. Looking at the chair she had carefully polished, she felt a sense of accomplishment.

Polishing a chair is a very delicate job, and since Lu Chengcheng is a novice, he works particularly slowly.

It took half a day to polish all six chairs.

Lu Chengcheng looked at the rough chair and thought to himself that the efficiency was really too slow: "Lanlan, you go back first, I have something else to do."

"Okay." Su Yanglan went home.

Lu Chengcheng walked out of the yard and came to where she planted tomatoes. It had only been two or three days, but the tomatoes had grown a lot, more than twice as big as those planted by the village head's wife. She hadn't taken care of them much yet. If she took care of them diligently, she would be able to eat tomatoes soon.

It’s all thanks to the gourd water!

……

The next day, Lu Chengcheng was still modifying the chair.

At this time, the putty on the chair has dried, the old paint on the surface has been sanded off, and it can be painted.

When buying paint, a brush was given as a gift. Lu Chengcheng opened the paint bucket, dipped the brush into the paint, and then brushed it on the chair.

The paint had a strong smell, and Lu Chengcheng sneezed several times in succession.

Painting is a delicate job and every surface needs to be painted, otherwise it will be mottled and look ugly.

"I have mastered a new skill." Lu Chengcheng thought amusemently while painting.

He painted the front of the chair first, then the back, then the bottom and the four legs... Lu Chengcheng felt that this was the most serious work he had ever done.

Watching the chair gradually become what she likes, she feels that everything is worth it.

After painting one chair, put it aside to dry, and then paint the other chairs.

After Lu Chengcheng finished scrubbing the chair, he felt like his arms and waist were about to be broken.

"I feel the cruelty of physical labor again." Lu Chengcheng muttered, then stretched lazily, "Finally everything is done."

Su Yanglan came to have dinner with Lu Chengcheng. When she saw the chairs in the yard, she was amazed: "Sister, the painted chairs are so beautiful."

Lu Chengcheng also thought it was very beautiful: "Let it air dry for a day, then apply another coat of paint, it will look even better then."
