"Hey, Xiao Jun, what are you doing?”
Just as Yi Hongjun was thinking about how to deal with these logs, a voice sounded behind him.
Some people got off work early, so only Silly Zhu could return to the courtyard house.
"Dazhu, why are you back?"
Yi Hongjun turned his head and saw that Silly Zhu was still carrying two plates in his hands. It was obvious that they were leftovers from the canteen.
"Of course. I'm the team leader of the canteen now. When I'm done, I can go home.”
Silly Zhu said,"You haven't told me why you used those broken logs?"
Silly Zhu had seen carpenters make furniture before, but they were all made of new wood. Looking at Yi Hongjun, he did not believe that Yi Hongjun could make furniture at such a young age.
"Yes, my aunt's waist is very weak, so I prepared a recliner for her to rest well.”
"You know how to do it?" Silly Zhu's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, I trained with an old master in the countryside.”
Yi Hongjun nodded, but he didn't tell the truth. At his age, being able to become a master carpenter was really amazing.
"Okay, let me know when you're done. I'll go take a look.”
"Alright, I'll call you when it's done."
He sang as he walked.
After Shazhu left, Yi Hongjun returned to his room and took out his old tools. He calculated how much wood he needed in his heart. After he had a plan, Yi Hongjun began to work.
Yi Hongjun's chair was not complicated. Because it did not have the ability to shake, it also saved wood.
He was very fast.
Yi Hongjun's chair was finally completed.
These things didn't cause much noise, but it still alarmed the people in the courtyard. A few people who had nothing to do surrounded Yi Hongjun's house.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned by the scene in front of him as soon as he entered. He was worried that something had happened to Yi Hongjun. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"What's wrong, Red Army?"
Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with surprise.
When Yi Hongjun told him that he had a skill and could earn money himself, he did not believe it.
In his opinion, the village was a run-down place. It was so poor that it could not have any ability.
But now, it seemed that Yi Hongjun's craftsmanship was no longer inferior to those old carpenters in the capital, or even better.
There was not a single nail on the chair, but it looked very sturdy.
"Uncle, you're here."
Yi Hongjun raised his head and wiped his sweat with his arm. Then, he slapped the unfinished chair and said,"Is this chair good?"
Yi Zhonghai was confused.
Yi Hongjun's performance caught him off guard.
"This place is almost done. If you have time tomorrow, you can buy some paint.”
"After you apply it and dry it, you can use it.”
"This, is this for us?”Yi Zhonghai was shocked again.
In his opinion, this chair should be used by Yi Hongjun himself, but it turned out to be a gift to them.
"That's right."
Yi Hongjun nodded and said,"I'm so young. How can I sit on a recliner?" Isn't that a pity?"
Hearing Yi Hongjun's words, the surrounding people became excited.
"First Uncle, your nephew is really filial.”
"Yes, yes. To have such ability at the age of sixteen, you will definitely become great in the future.”
"First Uncle, with you around, the two of you can live a good life.”
Yi Zhonghai's face turned red and his heart was filled with joy.
This was not a compliment.
However, he was still very proud that his nephew had such a good future. It was really rare to find such a good nephew.
A group of people were talking at once. Although there were many people in the courtyard house, not everyone had an envious look on their faces.
"Bah, a country bumpkin. Is he so great just because he knows a little carpentry?”
As soon as Xu Damao returned to the courtyard house, he was attracted. He stood there and watched. He knew that he did not have the ability to do so, but he just could not stand it.
Especially those who were around his age. Every time he saw someone perform well in front of him, he would feel a kind of jealousy and hatred from the bottom of his heart.
That was why she called him a bastard.
Jia Dongxu, a member of the Jia family, was also among them. Although he was also very dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it on his face.
Although Yi Zhonghai was his teacher, it was a humiliation to Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu had never given Yi Zhonghai any face.
He had followed Old Merchant into the factory and worked with Yi Zhonghai for seven years. At this time, he was still a front-line worker. Many people began to talk about him.
He didn't want to provoke Yi Zhonghai, so he shifted his target to Yi Hongjun and secretly said that Yi Hongjun was trash.
Yi Hongjun was very happy to be praised so much.
"Alright, alright, everyone disperse. Let's go, let's go.”Yi Zhonghai heard everyone's praise and quickly walked into the hall.
Although he liked this kind of treatment very much, these people were chattering here. It was really too noisy. Moreover, there were too many people here. He was really worried that something would happen.
The group of people circled around the half-finished chair and left with envy.
"Hongjun, your aunt is going to cook soon. You have to hurry up.”
He was also very concerned about his nephew.
With that, he turned around and left.
In his mind, the best candidate for retirement was not Jia Dongxu, but the young and promising Yi Hongjun.
"Alright, go and rest. I'll be fine soon.”
Yi Hongjun did not look up and continued to work.
Yi Zhonghai didn't say much and just walked towards his room.
Back home, Yi Zhonghai smiled at the middle-aged woman who was cooking." Do you know what I just saw?”
"How would I know?" Aunt Yi rolled her eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai.
"Alright, then I'll get straight to the point."
Yi Zhonghai was also helpless. He was in a good mood, but the middle-aged woman ignored him.
After feeling down, Yi Zhonghai said excitedly to Aunt Yi.
"Xiao Jun, you're really something. You made us a recliner!”
When Aunt Yi heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her face. However, her face immediately darkened and she hurriedly said,"That won't do. Xiao Jun is already working very hard at school, but he still has to make a chair. I want to cook another egg to supplement his nutrition.”
Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded as Aunt Yi walked into the kitchen.
