Chapter 117 117. Carpenter Feng
"Old Feng, are you at home? I'm coming in," Village Chief Xie patted the door at Carpenter Feng's door. As he spoke, he led Lin Qingxi and the others inside. Soon there was a pair of people about his age.
The couple came out of the house.
"Village Chief Xie, why are you here? What is this?" Feng Carpenter watched Village Chief Xie bring his people over and couldn't help but twitch his lips and smile.
"This is my niece. Her husband is in the army. She is coming to join the army and come to the village to find a carpenter to make furniture. I met her on the road and brought her here. Her father is my comrade in arms, which is Dr. Lin," Village Chief Xie
After saying that, he brought over the low stools placed under the eaves for Lin Qingxi and the others to sit down.
"Dr. Lin's daughter is also my niece, my eldest niece. I told my uncle that if you want anything, just take it." After Feng Carpenter knew that Lin Qingxi was Dr. Lin's daughter, the smile on his face became much more sincere.
He is also much more easy-going.
"Thank you, uncle, but I want a lot of things. I can't let you spend any money." Lin Qingxi shook her head. She remembered who Feng Carpenter was. It should be Feng Datou in Father Lin's book, and Lin Qingxi.
My father is a close friend of life and death.
"You don't need to give me any money. My life depends on your father and I will come back. My wife and children were also saved by your father. What's wrong with giving you some furniture?" Feng Carpenter said with a serious face.
Lin Qingxi didn't say anything. She turned to look at Village Chief Xie. Seeing him nodding, she responded with a smile on her face. Aunt Sun and Zhang Lei next to her were already numb. How come they could meet acquaintances everywhere, and still be like this?
It was so popular that the two of them were puzzled.
In fact, what the two of them don't know is that it's not that Lin Qingxi is popular, but that all the connections left by Lin's father have been given to Lin Qingxi. She is Lin's father's heir. Lin Qingping joins the army. Lin Qing'an is gone.
Of his children, only his youngest daughter, Lin Qingxi, inherited his medical skills and connections. Father Lin slowly transferred his connections to his youngest daughter when she was a child, in order to prevent him from passing away suddenly and leaving his youngest daughter helpless.
of.
"Thank you very much, Uncle Feng. I want a wooden tub for bathing, two small wooden barrels, two wooden basins, a cupboard, two wardrobes and four low stools. I only have a bed and a table at home, and nothing else.
" Lin Qingxi said embarrassedly. It was because she wanted so many things that she was embarrassed to ask for them in vain.
"It's okay. Since there is nothing, except for what you asked for, my uncle is looking at making some other gadgets for you. We have wooden buckets and small wooden buckets for bathing at home, low stools and wooden basins, and they are also ready-made at home, old lady.
, you go to the utility room and take it out," Carpenter Feng said, calling his wife to get something. He was chatting with Lin Qingxi, Village Chief Xie and others in the yard.
Fortunately, Zhang Lei, a young man, had no other skills, but he was very discerning. He felt sorry to see Feng Carpenter's wife go get something alone, so he followed him and took action.
Lin Qingxi and the other three were chatting, and all three of them were talking about Lin's father's past, when Aunt Feng and Zhang Lei walked out holding a large wooden bucket for bathing.
When the two of them came to the front, Lin Qingxi was also frightened. She originally thought it was just a wooden barrel for bathing, but she didn't expect that there were four small wooden barrels superimposed on the barrel, four wooden basins, and twenty large and small wooden basins.
Small wooden bowls and six low stools.
"This, this is too much. Uncle Feng, I have to give you money. How can you do so much for nothing and pay for the materials?" Lin Qingxi stared at the pile of things in the bathtub in shock.
The bathtub was really filled to the brim.
"What are you giving me? Aren't you a shabby uncle Feng?" Feng Carpenter glared at Lin Qingxi and said in a feigned anger: "It's not like you uncle Feng can't afford these things. If you do, don't recognize me.
"
"Yes, you are so arrogant, so I won't be polite." Lin Qingxi shook her head helplessly. People were talking about this, so she couldn't resist it, lest she really hurt her feelings, and she would have to worry about it in the future.
Just be a relative.
At the same time, Lin Qingxi also planned to "buy" something to give to Carpenter Feng. As her niece, she accepted the furniture from her uncle, so her uncle could also accept her niece's filial piety!
Thinking of this, Lin Qingxi happily agreed to these things. Feng Carpenter and Village Chief Xie were also very happy when they saw it. This showed that Lin Qingxi did not treat them as outsiders, but as her own elders.
"Okay, it's getting late, Uncle Feng. I'll come see you and Auntie next time, so we'll go back first. I also want to go to the village to exchange for some vegetables and eggs," Lin Qingxi said and stood up to leave.
Carpenter Feng did not persuade him to stay. The main reason was that they only had an old couple at home and their children were working outside. The family did not grow any vegetables or raise chickens, so he did not ask for vegetables and eggs for Lin Qingxi to take away.
"Okay, my uncle doesn't grow vegetables or raise chickens at home, otherwise I would take them from my uncle's house. Next time you come to play, I will ask your aunt to make delicious food for you," Carpenter Feng said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Uncle and aunt, you don't have to send them off," Lin Qingxi said with a smile. He and Zhang Lei carried the barrel out of Feng Carpenter's house and towards the big locust tree.
Go over there.
Fortunately, the truck that drove out this time was a military pickup truck, and the cloak at the back could fit the entire bucket. After Lin Qingxi and Zhang Lei put the bath bucket in the car, she asked Aunt Sun to wait for them in the car, and she and Zhang Lei
I followed Village Chief Xie to the village to exchange vegetables and eggs.
"Girl Xi, the family where uncle took you to change vegetables is a retired soldier. They are the only two in the family. Their two sons are in the army and have not been home for several years. The old couple grew some vegetables at home for self-sufficiency.
He has raised more than ten chickens, and many people in the village come to his house to exchange eggs, in order to subsidize them in disguise..."
Along the way, Village Chief Xie was introducing Lin Qingxi to the customs and customs of the village. He thought that since Girl Xi was going to join the army, she would definitely deal with them often in the future. Naturally, he wanted to work for the welfare of the villagers, and also
Tell her clearly who in the village is easy to get along with and who she shouldn't interact with too much so that Xi Yatou won't suffer.
"I understand, uncle, are we all working at home or outside?" Lin Qingxi asked directly.
"You know, I have three sons and one daughter. The eldest son died on the battlefield that year, and the eldest daughter-in-law also died of bleeding after my eldest grandson was left. If your father hadn't been here, my eldest grandson wouldn't have survived.
, the second son and the third son, your aunt will not let them serve as soldiers even if they die, so they will farm at home. However, your brother Sanmao can rely on himself.
With my strength, I became a small cadre in the city's steel factory. Your brother Ermao was forced by your mother-in-law to farm at home. I have suffered all kinds of hardships in my life. The only one I can't bear is my mother-in-law. Brother Damao
After the couple is gone, if you Siyuan hadn't been there, your aunt would have followed, so your aunt has the final say in our family."
Village Chief Xie said this, but his eyes were full of satisfaction with the current situation of life. Although the eldest son and his wife were gone, the eldest daughter-in-law left them a grandson, who was also the motivation and thought for them to live.
