Yang Yufen said it was simple, and it really was simple for her. She selected a cabinet door panel, laid it flat on the ground, and drew flowers on it with chalk. With just a few strokes, the pattern of orchids appeared.
He took out the tools from his backpack and with a few strokes, the chalk drawing was etched onto the wooden board.
Then the entire door panel was engraved with a border. In just one morning, not only were the eight door panels for the two cabinets engraved, but the edges were also ground.
"I'll have my godson sand all the boards tonight so they can be painted tomorrow. I'll come this afternoon to install the cabinet."
Yang Yufen glanced at her watch, packed up her tools, and left.
Not long after Yang Yufen left, Wang Shuo returned.
"Mom, I'm home."
Wang Shuo specially rearranged his schedule so he could have more time to tidy up the house. Everyone who knew Wang Shuo was getting married offered their congratulations and volunteered to help.
"You're back just in time. Come on, work on polishing the big wedding items your godmother prepared for you. I'll go cook for you."
Yang Yufen made two patterns, one of orchids and one of plum blossoms.
"Is this for making cabinets?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
The boards had already undergone some simple sanding, and Wang Shuo worked quickly and efficiently. By the time Yang Yufen returned with the food, Wang Shuo had already sanded three door boards.
"Godmother."
"Hey, this is a good job. No wonder you can be a professor. You're very meticulous in your work."
Yang Yufen offered a word of praise.
Wang Shuo wanted to express his gratitude, but being praised made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Which do you prefer, plum blossom or orchid? We can finish decorating today. First, we need to apply clear varnish and let it dry before applying red varnish."
"Of orchids."
Wang Shuo blurted out, recalling the orchid-patterned handkerchief Fang Fen had given him when he went to the countryside.
"good."
Yang Yufen originally thought that she would only need to install one cabinet today, but unexpectedly, Wang Shuo had switched classes during the day and had an extra helper, so both cabinets were installed in one go.
"With my godmother's craftsmanship, the cabinet is very stable even without nails."
When Wang Shuo saw the nail, he felt it was an eyesore and affected the overall aesthetics.
"You need to be more careful when nailing nails, and you'll be able to finish much faster. Sand it down, and it's best to apply clear varnish to both the inside and outside so it won't get infested by insects."
"Godmother, I'll get a few people to help with this. I guarantee the cabinet will be polished inside and out by tomorrow."
His godmother was already exhausted from making the cabinet, and Wang Shuo wasn't an unreasonable person.
“Okay, then there’s enough time. I’ll make you another bed. You can let Yao Yao sleep in this one later.”
"Godmother..."
“The bed you make yourself is better than the one you buy. I was just thinking of making one for Niannian, so you called someone over to help you with the sanding.”
Although Qin Nian's bed could fit two people, that was only when both of them slept very quietly. As her belly grew bigger, it would definitely be impossible for the two of them to squeeze together.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, godmother. You can't afford to pay for the materials anymore."
"Alright, godmother won't argue with you. Let's go buy the materials now; that batch of walnut wood is just right."
Yang Yufen took Wang Shuo to the carpenter's shop to select wood.
