Not only were others showing great concern for Mo Yuan's new house, but even Mo Shuisheng and others who were personally involved in the construction were carefully studying the ingenuity of Mo Yuan's room layout while laying bricks. As a veteran in the construction industry, Mo Shuisheng was confident that he was experienced in Xiao Mo Village. However, Mo Yuan's design was clearly more scientific and reasonable than the previous adobe house framework, making perfect use of every space. Even Mo Shuisheng had to admire Mo Yuan. It seemed that there was nothing Mo Yuan couldn't do. He thought that if he studied it carefully, he would be more adept at building houses for others in the future.
While Mo Youshan was enthusiastically introducing Mo Yuan's plans and designs to others, and personally supervising the construction of the new house, Mo Yuan was not idle either. In addition to continuing to learn from Lao Zhou every day, he also took precious time to visit the carpenter in the village.
Mo Yuan knew that to build the house into his ideal shape, he needed to pay more attention to details and decoration.
Besides doors and windows, the new house also needs some new furniture and decorations. After all, you can't keep using the old furniture when you're moving to a new house, right? So, his sister-in-law Chen Qiaoyun had mentioned this to Mo Yuan more than once before.
Now, Mo Yuan's status in the family is rising, and his words carry more weight. Everyone is naturally overjoyed about such a happy occasion as building a new house, but the eldest sister-in-law is worried that Yu Xiu'e will be stubborn and move all the old furniture and broken cabinets into the new house.
As a result, it's easy to imagine that the overall style of the new house will become a mismatched mess.
Therefore, the eldest sister-in-law spoke with Mo Yuan beforehand. Although it was impossible to throw away all the old furniture, at least a few new pieces should be purchased to match, so as to truly reflect the joy of moving into a new home!
Mo Yuan wholeheartedly agreed, feeling that his sister-in-law's words made perfect sense. He also hoped to provide a better life for his family, so he was very attentive to the decoration and furnishing of their new home.
In order to make better furniture, Mo Yuan even studied the furniture styles in the city with Lin Xue and consulted a lot of relevant information.
They hoped to combine modern elements with traditional craftsmanship to create furniture that was both practical and beautiful. Of course, all of this required the cooperation and support of skilled carpenters. Only through their exquisite craftsmanship could Mo Yuan's designs become a reality.
Fortunately, there was an old carpenter in the village, who also had two apprentices. According to seniority, Mo Yuan should call him Third Grandfather! There was no need to go elsewhere to find one! So, he frequently visited the carpenter in the village, communicated with him, and shared his ideas.
Every time Mo Yuan visited a carpenter's home, he would bring detailed drawings and design plans, explaining the function and style requirements of each room. He hoped the carpenters could understand his design concepts and bring them to life through their exquisite craftsmanship.
Grandpa San welcomed Mo Yuan's arrival. He liked this clever young man very much and didn't act arrogantly because of his age. He believed his craftsmanship was unique and wouldn't listen to others' opinions. Instead, he thought Mo Yuan's design was novel and practical, which gave him a lot of inspiration.
This is closely related to Mo Yuan's "pie in the sky" rhetoric.
The furniture styles provided by Mo Yuan were completely unfamiliar to Third Grandfather. Although he could understand the basic structure and some carvings of some wardrobes and chests, he obviously could not understand new things like TV cabinets, as well as strange designs such as wardrobes that required dragons to be carved on the left, paintings on the right and a mirror to be installed in the middle.
However, the third grandfather was not a conservative person. Since Mo Yuan was willing to pay wages, he and his apprentices worked honestly.
In addition, Mo Yuan also said that with his great-grandfather's skills, he can confidently take on apprentices in the future and guarantee that his future work schedule will be full.
Mo Yuan is confident about this. Even if the furniture he designs may seem outdated decades from now, it will be the most fashionable style now. Even if it is taken to the county town for display, it will be a cutting-edge fashion product.
If anyone knew that an old man in Xiaomo Village had this skill, the threshold of Third Grandfather's house would definitely be worn down by the crowds. Mo Yuan firmly believed this, and later events proved it true!
When the time comes, Grandpa San and his apprentices will work day and night, experiencing both pain and joy, and then they will believe what Mo Yuan said today!
Grandpa San was skeptical at first, but as the production progressed, he became increasingly shocked.
Through their interactions with Mo Yuan, they not only learned new design ideas but also improved their skills.
As time went on, the third grandfather and his apprentices began making various furniture and decorations based on Mo Yuan's designs. They meticulously carved and polished each piece of wood, striving for perfection. Mo Yuan often visited the site to check on the carpenters' progress and quality, ensuring everything met his expectations.
The old carpenter was indeed impressed by Mo Yuan's skill. He knew Mo Yuan was only twenty years old and had never learned carpentry before, yet he was able to recreate those blueprints based solely on the illustrations in the book and the descriptions on the radio—or at least that's what Mo Yuan said.
As an experienced carpenter, he could still see some clever design elements. Even his third grandfather had an idea: to take Mo Yuan on as an apprentice and have him learn carpentry from him.
But then she reconsidered and dismissed the idea. Mo Yuan was incredibly skilled these days; everyone in the village knew that. How could I possibly learn carpentry from an old man like myself in such a small mountain village?
What a pity.
Regardless, since I've received favors from him, I should still do my best to help him with these tasks.
During a break, seeing Mo Yuan looking at some furniture that was almost finished with satisfaction, Third Grandfather was also filled with pride, "How about it, isn't this old man's craftsmanship passable?"
Seeing Mo Yuan give a thumbs up, Third Grandfather was also very proud. Kid, no matter how capable you are, you still have to rely on these people to do it for you!
"By the way, Mo Yuan, what's the point of this TV stand? What's a television?"
