Chapter 515 Making a Stool
After leaving the tube-shaped building with great difficulty, Xiaoyu felt that this trip was not easy at all, and hurriedly walked home.
Fu Shuyan had been sulking with He Yuxiang at home for a while.
Because during this week, He Yuxiang pushed him to Shorty many times, and he followed Shorty and was forced to make many new friends, and those new friends all said they wanted to recognize him as their "big brother".
Fu Shuyan originally agreed reluctantly.
But when he came to He Yuxiang's house today, he found out that it was He Yuxiang who did all this.
That’s too bad.
This person is so bad.
Fu Shuyan was very angry!
He originally came to Guangdong Province to have fun with Xiaoyu, but ended up playing with others.
He didn’t become a better friend to Xiaoyu, nor did he become Xiaoyu’s brother, and he would be going home soon!
Fu Shuyan was so depressed that he exploded.
He Yuxiang was knocking bamboo in the front yard. He has been learning how to make stools recently.
The bamboo stool is not difficult to make.
It's just cumbersome.
He Yuxiang called Fu Shuyan: "Come and help saw the bamboo."
Fu Shuyan came up to help angrily: "I'm going to complain to Xiaoyu later. People like you are so mean."
"Be more forceful."
He Yuxiang reminded.
There are more and more people in the family.
Apart from the chairs in the main hall, the swing, and the four benches in the porch, there was no other place to sit.
He Yuxiang wanted to get two more stools so that when guests came, there would be a place to sit.
"Let's first saw off four one-foot-long pieces to use as stool legs and try to see if we can make a stool."
He learned the craft of making stools simply by watching his grandfather and uncle make them. He memorized the steps, and the only thing left was to see how well he could put them into practice.
Fu Shuyan cooperated with him and grabbed the saw to cut the bamboo. It felt quite magical that he was actually going to make a stool with He Yuxiang.
He Yuxiang: "Don't saw it crookedly."
Fu Shuyan said nothing and followed his lead in pushing and pulling.
Bamboo chips fell down.
First, the stool legs were sawed, then two thick bamboo boards, and then four bamboo strips.
The thick bamboo board is the stool surface, and the bamboo strips are used for fixing.
After sawing, He Yuxiang began to polish.
Fu Shuyan also followed suit.
He Yuxiang saw that he was quick and efficient. Although he thought that this person was simple-minded, he was still capable of doing the job.
After polishing, He Yuxiang took the stool legs to the stove to bake them to prevent them from splitting due to excessive moisture.
Fu Shuyan followed He Yuxiang and asked, "Do you make everything in your house yourself?"
"Some are, some aren't." He Yuxiang likes to make all kinds of items at home by himself. He suspects it may be because he has been with his grandfather for too long. His grandfather likes carpentry, and his uncle also likes handicrafts, so he also likes handicrafts.
He Yuxiang stuffed the nails into the stove and heated them red, then said to Fu Shuyan, "It's always good to have many skills, and doing this will save you money."
“You’re amazing.”
Fu Shuyan worships Taoism.
He Yuxiang is the most adult-like person of his age that he has ever met.
After the nail was heated red, He Yuxiang used pliers to pick it out, and with a sizzling sound, it burned through the bamboo board of the stool.
Fu Shuyan exclaimed, his eyes shining with surprise.
He Yuxiang saw him being startled and felt that children from big cities were also quite simple.
While they were busy, Xiaoyu came back with Yang Yihe and Maomao.
He Yuxiang immediately assigned Xiaoyu some physical work.
Yang Yihe and Maomao followed suit.
The stool is divided into five parts: sawing bamboo sections, polishing, drilling, assembling and reinforcing.
The five children quickly took up their respective responsibilities and began to make stools under the command of He Yuxiang. In addition to being responsible for reinforcement, He Yuxiang also took on all fire-related tasks to prevent them from accidentally getting burned.
The children worked hard and at the end of the day, each of them was given a small stool.
When Fu Anhua came to look for his son, he saw his son holding the stool that belonged to him, his cheeks flushed, and asked, "Why did you take someone else's stool?"
"This was made by the five of us, each with a stool." Fu Shuyan explained to his father proudly.
Fu Anhua was surprised, "Who taught you?"
"He Yuxiang."
“That’s really good.”
Fu Anhua rubbed his son's head.
When Lian Maomao returned home and showed the stool to his parents, both he and his wife were shocked that their son had this ability.
Mao Jianguo immediately began to reminisce about the past: "Back when I was in my hometown, I also started sawing bamboo and wood very early. Our lives were very hard back then. Every piece of furniture and every kind of food in the house were made by ourselves. Mao Mao, now that you can make stools, you can be said to have the style of your father back then."
Talia also held her son's face and said, "That's great, you are really amazing."
Both husband and wife cherish this stool very much.
When Mao Jianguo looks at this stool, he is easily reminded of his childhood. There was no such good life back then. His son is considered lucky to have caught up with a good era, but seeing that his son has the skills of a rural person, Mao Jianguo is very proud.
He is proud of being a city dweller, but his roots are always in the countryside.
His son never forgets his roots.
It's a good thing.
For the first time in his life, Maomao felt how much his parents valued his things. The next day when he went to school, he shared with He Yuxiang: "My parents love my stool very much."
Fu Shuyan: "My dad is the same."
His father held the stool and touched it like it was a treasure.
He Yuxiang: "Very good."
She doesn't look like his aunt.
Nothing was found.
It was only after Xiaoyu reminded her that she let out a "wow".
He’s always making stuff.
His aunt wasn't even surprised.
Fu Shuyan added, "I'm going back to the capital. My dad said he can treat his best friends to a meal. Do you want to come?"
The dwarf tiger's ears were usually deaf, but when he heard there was food, he jumped faster than anyone else and immediately came over to ask Fu Shuyan: "Are we good friends?"
Fu Shuyan: “…Yes.”
Short-legged Tiger patted Fu Shuyan's shoulder vigorously: "You are such a good brother!"
Fu Shuyan blushed, "But if we bring all your friends, there will be too many people."
The dwarf tiger waved his hand and said, "No, just inviting me is enough."
Maomao: "And Xiaoyu and I!"
Fu Shuyan asked He Yuxiang: "Are you coming?"
He Yuxiang: "Come."
Fu Shuyan asked Yang Yihe again: "Are you coming?"
Yang Yihe: "Okay."
Fu Shuyan invited five classmates to dinner together. These five people will become his good friends in the future.
Fu Shuyan was hosting a dinner party on Tuesday night, and after that he had to take the train back to the capital.
Fu Shuyan said goodbye to his friends reluctantly: "I'm going home, you should go home too."
The five children watched him get on the bus and waved to him quietly.
Fu Shuyan started crying.
He likes this.
I like it very much.
Fu Anhua said: "I'll bring you here again when I have the chance."
It’s only a week’s friendship, and I don’t know how long these kids can last. Fu Anhua just hopes that these kids will still remember his son in the future.
