The child took the candy and took Yun Qiao and the others to the carpenter's house.
The carpenter was a little old man with gray hair. He was too old to need a massage.
When Yun Qiao and the others arrived, the old carpenter was planeing wood in the yard, leaving wood chips all over the ground.
Yun Qiao explained her purpose, and the old carpenter immediately took her to the east wing to see the boxes.
He doesn't have to go to work and makes furniture at home every day. However, in rural areas, the demand for furniture is not high. People only buy new furniture when they get married. Therefore, many finished furniture pieces often have to be piled up at home for a long time before they can be sold.
Arriving at the east wing, Yun Qiao saw not only several wooden boxes, but also a large wardrobe, a desk, several square tables, and a pile of small benches stacked high like a mountain.
Yun Qiao couldn't help but smack his lips. "With so many small stools, how long will it take to sell them all?"
The old carpenter laughed and said, "Don't worry, my daughter. These are not many at all. They will be sold out before the New Year."
"Really?"
The old carpenter nodded and said, "During the commune's annual market, one pea can sell twenty or thirty of them."
"That would be great."
The old carpenter was quite old, and it was not easy for him to make these things with great effort. Yun Qiao was happy for him when he heard that they were sold smoothly.
"Girl, pick and choose which one you like."
There are several wooden boxes, all made of pure wood and not painted.
They are about the same size, sixty inches wide and one meter long, with a lid on top. When you open it, you will see a deep opening inside. It has a large capacity and can hold quilts and clothes.
There are also some with a flap on top and a drawer on the bottom.
Yun Qiao chose one with two drawers at the bottom. This way, the upper box is deep enough to store quilts and clothes, and the lower drawers can be used to store some small miscellaneous items. It would be even better if it could be locked to prevent thieves.
As soon as Yun Qiao mentioned it, the old carpenter immediately said that he could help her put on the lock, thus solving her only worry.
After paying the money, Yun Qiao worried about how to get the box back.
Pure solid wood, very heavy.
The old carpenter said, "Don't worry, I'll let my grandson pull a cart and deliver it to you."
When they left, the old carpenter's grandson, who was about ten years old, was pulling the cart in front, and Yun Qiao and Qin Guifen followed with their children.
It is impossible to cross the mountain by pulling a cart, so we can only take a detour.
The old carpenter and his grandson led them out from the other side of the village. As they walked, Yun Qiao always felt that someone was following them.
She turned around, but there was nothing behind her.
Yun Qiao didn't know if it was just an illusion, so he turned around and asked Qin Guifen, "Sister-in-law, do you feel like someone is watching us from behind?"
"No." Qin Guifen didn't notice anything. She turned around and looked around: "Where is there anyone?"
Yun Qiao thought he was overthinking.
She continued walking forward, but the feeling of being watched was still with her.
Yun Qiao felt a little uneasy. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back again, but there was still nothing behind him.
After a few seconds, a tabby cat jumped down from the top of the wall.
