"You little rascal, you've got a sharp tongue, you're really quick-witted." An Yizhong laughed heartily as he led his men into the back warehouse.
"So much wood and finished products." Anle followed behind and stepped into the room, looking in surprise at the large and small wooden carts, among which were several sets of kang cabinets and kang tables.
Anle's eyes lit up, darted around, and then she suddenly grinned.
"Uncle, have you ever thought about opening your own carpentry shop and doing carpentry business on your own?"
"Make it yourself? That won't do!"

How many people are as lucky as your uncle, able to come here as an apprentice and eventually become a master?
"It's all thanks to your father supporting him that he's been able to live a comfortable life and achieve what he has today."
