Chapter 1 I Don't Understand My Father's Feelings

"I worked for thirty-nine and a half days, I was 80 cents a day, and I owe me thirty-one and sixty-six!"

"I have worked for 56 and a half days in total, and I owe me one yuan a day, and I owe me sixty-two yuan a day!"

"I cut down two old elm trees in my house last month, and I promised to give them a total of six!"

"I have sewed twenty-eight sets of sofa leather in the past two months. One sofa leather costs 50 cents, and I owe a total of fourteen yuan!"

The dim room was full of people, and even the furniture piled by the wall was full of people.

Zhang Junping also sat in a corner on the top of the furniture, staring blankly at the familiar scene in front of him.

This scene is so familiar!

He will never forget that in that cold winter, the village-run collective entrepreneurial furniture factory officially declared bankruptcy.

What I can't forget is that my father's hair turned white that night.

I saw in books that the story of Wu Zixu growing old all night long. Zhang Junping thought it was fabricated by the ancients. It was not until he saw his father's hair turning white overnight after he announced bankruptcy in a furniture factory that he believed it was true.

Zhang Junping has never understood what kind of sentiment it was that made his father give up his iron rice bowl in the city, return to the countryside, and return to this small mountain village to establish a furniture factory.

It is really difficult for young people to understand the thoughts and feelings of the older generation.

Although my father repeatedly said that in 1961, if it weren't for the villagers, he and his mother would have starved to death!

And when it comes to 61 years, my mother wipes her tears.

He once heard from his elders that he actually had an older brother above him who died in 1961.

The elders were all talking vaguely, as if they were too hungry and didn't know what to eat outside. As a result, when their parents came home from get off work, they were no longer able to do so.

After his elder brother he had never met died, his mother fell ill immediately.

My mother's illness is because her eldest son died and she feels so distressed, and she is also hungry.

My father said that the villagers saved their mother's life, but in fact it was an old hen, a few pumpkins, and a bag of dried sweet potatoes.

My mother survived by drinking the old hen soup and pumpkin porridge.

This is the life-saving grace that my father never forgets.

In order to save his life, his parents gave up their iron rice bowls in the city and returned to the countryside, and led the villagers to start a furniture factory.

The original intention is naturally to lead the villagers to become rich.

Unfortunately, although my father was a carpenter, he was one of the top carpenters in the state-owned furniture factory in the provincial capital.

However, excellent technology does not mean that you are a qualified factory manager.

The furniture factory has indeed been booming for several years, but after the country gradually reduced its planning indicators, the furniture factory suddenly fell into trouble.

Until today, it is completely impossible to maintain.

He never understood his father's thoughts. If he said to repay his kindness and stayed in the city, there were many ways to repay his kindness.

Even, in Zhang Junping's opinion, his father's staying in the city can help more places in the village.

Zhang Junping looked up at his father who was sitting behind the office and smoking silently.

Sitting next to my father was Zhang Junshan, a village accountant and furniture factory accountant.

Accountant Zhang Junshan lowered his head and carefully checked the wages reported by the employees in the account book.

Because his father's hair was gray all night, Zhang Junping had a particularly deep memory of this scene.

Later I dreamed countless times in my dreams.

"Ding! The carpenter apprentice was detected, and the Luban inheritance system is being bound!"

Then, a progress bar appeared in Zhang Junping's mind, 1%···2%···3%···4%···10%···90%···99%···100%

"Ding, Luban inheritance system is successfully bound!

Congratulations to the host for receiving a large apprentice gift package from the ancestor!”

The voice in his mind reminded him that this was not a dream.

Of course he knew the system that although he was already in his fifties, he liked to read novels when he was fine, so he naturally knew the system novels on the Internet.

I also secretly fantasized that if I had a system, how wonderful my life would be?

"Huzi! Huzi!"

"Are you okay? Your hands are bleeding!"

Zhang Junping was awakened by a shaking.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, Zhang Junping took a long time to remember that this was his nephew Zhang Xiansheng, who said he was his nephew. In fact, the two were just as big as that, and Zhang Xiansheng never called him uncle.

"Ouch!

Why are you trying to twist me?" Zhang Xiansheng shouted.

"I'll see if I'm dreaming!"

"Then why don't you twist yourself?"

"I'm afraid of pain!" Zhang Junping couldn't help but smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Are you afraid of pain, so just twist me?" Zhang Xiansheng gave Zhang Junping a angrily glance, ignored him, turned around and continued to stare at the middle of the house, which was Zhang Junping's father.

Zhang Xiansheng is also an apprentice in a furniture factory, and he entered the factory one year earlier than Zhang Junping.

The salary is also higher than that of Zhang Junping. Zhang Junping's salary is 50 cents a day, and Zhang Xiansheng is 80 cents a day, which is nearly twice as high as Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping didn't care about continuing to talk to Zhang Xiansheng, and focused all his attention in his mind.

A big red envelope appeared in Zhang Junping's mind, with a big word on it, which was a bit like the kind of red envelope in a WeChat group, with a golden light flashing on the fiery red envelope.

Zhang Junping just thought about opening words.

The red envelope turned into a golden light and disappeared into Zhang Junping's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the specialization of carpenter tools, intermediate level (0/500).

Obtained carpenter drawing, master level (0/5000).

Get the wood map!”

As the system prompted the sound, Zhang Junping's mind buzzed and countless knowledge was stuffed into his mind.

There are knowledge and skills in using various carpenter tools, various knowledge in carpenter drawings, and knowledge in wood identification with colored pictures.

These are the basics of a carpenter.

It goes without saying that carpenters use tools. In the past, when traditional carpenters wanted to be apprentices, they had to have an axe first.

Learning to use carpenter tools also starts with axes, and carpenters’ axes are also the most important tool for carpenters.

There was a saying in the past that the carpenter's axe and the big girl's waist could not be touched casually.

When drawing, a good carpenter can draw pictures. They may not have been to school or illiterate, but the three-dimensional three-dimensional drawings they draw are no worse than those of engineering college students who are from professional schools.

Even in the past, the true carpenter masters were masters of painting and structural engineers.

Not to mention wood identification, this is the basic skill of a carpenter. During the apprenticeship period, in addition to learning the use of carpenter tools, it is to learn how to identify wood.

A lot of knowledge was stuffed into the mind, making Zhang Junping's head swell and dizzy, and his eyes were emitting golden light.

Zhang Junping forced himself to hold on and did not faint.

"Huzi, why are you bleeding from your nose?" Zhang Xiansheng shouted loudly.

"It's okay, winter is too dry, it's a little bit angry!" Zhang Junping wiped his nose and whispered.

This is the sequelae caused by receiving knowledge. The brain is forced to be filled with so much knowledge and the sequelae caused by overloading brain cells.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xiansheng's words still alarmed his father who was smoking behind the desk, and came over and asked with concern.
