Which kid in the village would think that they need a table, chairs and benches to draw and write from a young age?
Little Youran chuckled and said, "Baby wants to read, baby loves to read!"
Da Shan's heart skipped a beat, "Sure enough, scholars have sharper minds!"
Seeing that the two had finalized the design, Jiang Youchen asked, "Uncle Dashan, the wood must be of good quality, and it would be best if it were coated with tung oil. We'll leave it all to you, Uncle Dashan. We'll come back to pick it up in a couple of days. How much will it cost in total? Shall we pay a deposit today?"
Uncle Dashan quickly waved his hand, "How could I accept money from my little benefactor? It's just two chairs!"
He scratched his head and hesitated before asking, "My two little benefactors, I'd like to ask you if you could lend me the blueprints and the design of this chair? My carpentry skills are pretty good, and I'd like to make a few more to try and sell in the county town."
Xiao Youran certainly had no objection to the money.
Jiang Youchen then made a decision for his sister, "That's fine too. Consider these drawings as payment for Uncle Dashan. Thank you for your help, Uncle Dashan."
Da Shan was overjoyed. "Just wait a couple of days, Uncle Da Shan will make it and send it to you!"
Xiao Youran quickly said, "Uncle Dashan, this wheelchair needs to be sent to the manor."
Da Shan thought about it for a moment and immediately understood, and agreed.
The brother and sister left their home in the mountains, remaining silent the whole way.
Xiao Youran turned to look at her brother and asked curiously, "Is brother unhappy?"
Jiang Youchen pouted, "Is that wheelchair for Wen Xiaozi?"
Xiao Youran blinked. "Wen boy" again?
"Brother, shouldn't you call him Senior Brother Da Bai?"
Jiang Youchen turned her face away. "Hmph, Master isn't here, why are you calling me Senior Brother?"
Xiao Youran thought for a moment, "Brother, you're not... angry because this wheelchair is meant for Senior Brother Da Bai, are you? But you don't need this wheelchair, and you can't fit into the baby chair either..."
Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea struck her. "Brother, Uncle Dashan wants to make these new kinds of furniture to sell. If you have any other furniture styles, would you be interested in making money with him?"
Jiang Youchen shook his head, "Making money won't help my sister. Instead, brother should do more good deeds to accumulate good fortune for her."
Xiao Youran smiled sweetly, "That's easy! Brother, just make more money and do more good deeds, right?"
Jiang Youchen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Okay!"
...
Two days later, the master and his disciples were in the manor listening to the monk Wuwang rambling on and on about all sorts of things when Steward Zhang pushed in a wheelchair in surprise.
“Miss You Ran, Young Master Jiang, this was sent from the mountains in the village. They said it was custom-made for you and would be delivered today as soon as it was finished.”
Xiao Youran immediately tugged at Wen Yuanbai's sleeve, "Senior Brother Dabai, try it quickly!"
Nan Zhuo was also surprised to see the chair. Seeing his master nod, he went forward, picked him up, and carefully placed him on the chair.
The housekeeper excitedly pushed him around on the flat ground in the yard.
"Good stuff! It's really good stuff!" he exclaimed repeatedly. Now his master could move around freely outside!
Wen Yuanbai's face also showed joy. Although his broken leg was painful, what bothered him most was his inability to move. In just a few days, he was almost suffocating from the boredom.
Xiao Youran clapped her hands and said, "Senior Brother Da Bai, you'd better go out and get some sun now, so your skin doesn't get whiter than mine! If you get any whiter, I'll have to call you Senior Brother Da Bai Bai!"
Everyone: ...
Could this be your real intention in having Uncle Dashan make this wheelchair?
Wen Yuanbai wanted to keep a straight face and scold the little girl, but the joy he felt from being able to move freely made him smile. His voice was gentle and pleasant, "Thank you, senior brother."
He's been sick for so long that he's become quite knowledgeable about her intentions, so how could he not understand her good intentions?
Jiang Youchen couldn't help but feel a little jealous, "Senior Brother Dabai, this wheelchair was drawn by me for Uncle Dashan."
Wen Yuanbai then turned his gaze to him and said in a gentle voice, "Senior brother also thanks you."
Jiang Youchen felt like he had punched cotton, which was extremely boring.
However... he secretly rejoiced when he thought about how his sister had secretly given him a whole catalog of new furniture.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
What this young man received was a wheelchair, but what he got in return were structural diagrams and manufacturing instructions for some furniture.
Although some of the furniture in those catalogs looked strange and bizarre, he had already selected five or six very practical pieces, drawn them out, discussed them with Uncle Dashan, and received Uncle Dashan's strong approval.
Moreover, Stone and Cowboy have found some trees that can be used to make furniture, and Uncle Mountain is already calling them to go and cut them down.
At this moment, Monk Wuwang noticed a small ring next to the huge wheel, which was a handle. Without asking any questions, he carefully touched it and exclaimed, "As expected, you guys are really clever. With this ring, you can move freely even without anyone pushing you."
Wen Yuanbai tried pushing it himself, and it did move, but... his sleeve might touch the dirty outer wheel, which he found a little disgusting.
Xiao Youran ran up to him and said, "The Lantern Festival is in a few days, and there will be a lantern festival in the county town. Shall we go for a stroll?"
Jiang Youchen immediately got angry upon hearing this and pulled his younger sister aside, saying, "Little sister, I'll go to the lantern festival with you."
Wen Yuanbai pursed his lips before answering, "Senior brother will go with you."
Jiang Youchen disagreed, "No need, Senior Brother Da Bai's legs are not very agile, I'll go with my sister."
Wen Yuanbai ignored him and looked at Xiao Youran, saying, "Junior Sister, I am very pleased with the New Year's gift you gave me. On the fifteenth of the first lunar month, I will ask you to buy me a New Year's gift."
Xiao Youran's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Jiang Youchen's sleeve, saying, "Okay, Senior Brother Dabai!"
Aside from the thousand taels of red envelope, she had never received any gifts from her senior brother!
Wen Yuanbai glanced at the little dumpling in front of him, staring at the fake-looking pearl on her head, and a thought popped into his mind that he wanted to dress her up as beautifully and cutely as possible.
Are you crazy?!
That unlucky girl...
And... why do I just want to pinch her chubby, round face?
This is unbelievable!
Xiao Youran suddenly remembered something, put her hands on her hips and looked at Jiang Youchen, "Brother, you haven't given the baby a New Year's gift yet!"
Jiang Youchen's words to stop her got stuck in her throat.
Monk Wuwang jumped over and chuckled, "I will accompany you as well."
Jiang Youchen nodded, "Yes, Master."
Upon returning home, Jiang Youchen immediately pocketed the silver and asked Uncle Feng to drive him to the county town.
