Chapter 24 Carpenter Uncle Zhao



"Okay, thank you, uncle. It's just that my room is not very big, so I can just pick out some that I can use. Is that okay?"

When Bai Guoguo heard that there was ready-made furniture, her eyes were filled with joy. Uncle Zhao had such great craftsmanship, the furniture he made must be beautiful.

"It doesn't matter. Take whichever one you like, and then have Gangzi tow it back for you."

Uncle Zhao happily took out his cigarette and lit it, indicating that it was no big deal.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyong, Li Dongyang, and Wang Qiuyu also spoke up, saying that they also wanted to change some furniture.

"You kids want it too? No problem. I have wardrobes, kang cabinets, kang tables, eight-immortal tables, long benches, small chairs. All of these are ready-made. Just take what you need."

Uncle Zhao asked them to pick out what they needed and would discuss the price after they had gathered all the items.

He Gang also said that Uncle Zhao's workshop is actually a carpentry workshop jointly operated with the brigade.

During the slack season, Uncle Zhao would lead an apprentice to make furniture, and would give part of the money or things he earned to the team.

Otherwise, no one would dare to come here to exchange things openly, so a few people started to search for the furniture they needed in the pile of furniture with confidence.

"Uncle, I've chosen. I want this wardrobe, this dressing table, a long kang cabinet, a small kang table, a square table, four long benches, two small stools, a cupboard, a chest of drawers, a washbasin stand, and these two wooden barrels. That's all for now."

Bai Guoguo pointed at a pile of furniture and ordered a bunch of things, shocking Uncle Zhao, who was smoking, so much that he coughed several times.

"Little girl, you can't be ridiculous. It's not cheap to have so many things. Ordinary families don't even give so much as a dowry when marrying off their daughters. Besides, can the small house you ordered earlier hold all of them?"

"What should we do? How about we get rid of the wardrobe and chest of drawers? This should be enough space, right?"

Bai Guoguo, who came from the 21st century, was a little overwhelmed when he first saw so many genuine and solid wood furniture.

After hearing what Uncle Zhao said, I realized that frugality is advocated now, and I really can't buy so many things, otherwise it will be too conspicuous, and the small house can't hold them all.

"That room is over 20 square meters, so it should be able to fit. If you've chosen one, I'll help you load it onto the trailer."

He Gang saw how much the little girl liked the furniture and thought that if they got married in the future, he would have to make a few more large pieces of furniture for her.

If Bai Guoguo had the ability to read minds and could see what this guy was thinking, he would probably scold him. What kind of person is this? He wants to marry someone on the first day they met.

Finally, Uncle Zhao asked Bai Guoguo for 65 yuan to buy the furniture because he had no food.

Yang Xiaoyong, Li Dongyang and Wang Qiuyu also picked up a bunch of things each.

Wang Qiuyu bought furniture worth more than 70 yuan. Yang Xiaoyong and Li Dongyang were men, so they bought less, spending more than 30 yuan each.

After taking a look at this, Bai Guoguo felt that he was not very conspicuous and finally felt relieved.

Uncle Zhao was kind enough to lend them his big trailer to transport the furniture. They transported Bai Guoguo's first, and then Li Dongyang and Yang Xiaoyong's furniture together in one trailer.

Wang Qiuyu's car was transported there with the help of his apprentice sent by Uncle Zhao.
