In the ordinary life of Crayon Shin-chan

"It's okay. I'll draw it and you just saw the wood, Dad." Mingxu patted his chest and said confidently. He had just demonstrated this in his mind several times. Although it was just a simple introduction, it was not a problem to make a simple dog house.

Tenon and mortise: "Jiyun" records the "tenon", "a hole in the wood", commonly known as "tenon head", also known as "shoot head". Tenon and mortise are a concave and convex joint method used on two connected components in solid wood furniture. The protruding part is called tenon (or tenon head); the concave part is called mortise (or mortise, mortise groove).

The mortise and tenon structure, as a distinctive label of Chinese culture, is regarded as a source of pride by the Chinese people. During thousands of years of evolution, the mortise and tenon structure has continuously absorbed the experience and lessons of craftsmen, and gathered the wisdom of hundreds of generations of craftsmen. It has been widely used in Chinese furniture and wooden buildings, and its influence continues to this day.

As the saying goes, "mortise and tenon joints are forever strong." Without using any nails, only relying on the mortise and tenon craftsmanship, it can achieve a tight fit, without a hair's breadth, and seamless. The mortise and tenon structure fits tightly and leaves no traces, and it remains strong and beautiful after a hundred years of use.

After roughly thinking about the parts he wanted, Mingxu began to draw lines on the wooden board. After drawing a piece, Guangzhi began to cut out the parts he needed according to the lines on the board. Xiaoxin sawed the wood with such ease that Guangzhi became interested and clamored to saw wood himself.

"Then you have to be careful." Hiroshi said to Shin-chan, he had no choice but to hold the saw handle with one hand and hand it to Shin-chan.

"Okay." Xiaoxin took the saw excitedly, recalling Guangzhi's nonchalant look just now, and started to saw like him. He pulled and tugged violently, and Xiaoxin felt his whole body trembling with the force.

"You're lying. Sawing wood is not fun at all." Xiao Xin threw the saw to the ground angrily, holding his chest with his hands and not saying a word.

"Then you used the wrong method. You could easily shock yourself by pulling like that. First, put the saw handle on your right hand and place the back end of the handle in the concave part of your palm. Then bend your four fingers to hold the saw handle, and finally press down with your thumb to hold the saw handle tightly. Hold the front end of the saw frame vertically with your left hand and saw while pushing.

When pushing, keep your right elbow close to your body, use your body weight, and push with your body. If you use both wrists, you will easily get tired even if you don't exert any strength. Use both hands to apply force as if you are slightly pressing the saw blade down. When retracting the saw, relax and don't exert force. "Guangzhi explained to Xiaoxin in detail the basic method of sawing wood.

"Oh~ So that's how it is. It's all your fault, Dad, for not telling me earlier." After hearing this, Shin-chan put the blame on Guangzhi.

"Yes, yes, let's give it a try." Guangzhi shook his head and said to Xiaoxin with a helpless smile.

"Okay!" Xiaoxin picked up the saw, and Guangzhi began to correct Xiaoxin's way of holding the saw. Afterwards, Xiaoxin felt a lot more relaxed when he held it, although not as casually as Guangzhi, but it was still okay.

But soon Shin-chan felt tired. Well, how much physical strength can a child have? It was quite good of Shin-chan to be able to hold on for so long.

"I don't want to play anymore. Dad gave the work to me. I'm so cunning!" Shin-chan rolled his eyes and looked at Guangzhi aggrievedly, as if Guangzhi was really a bad boss who bullied child laborers.

"..Isn't this what you wanted to do?" Guangzhi took the saw speechlessly and continued to saw the wooden board along the lines drawn by Mingxu.

After Mingxu finished drawing the lines, he found a smaller saw from the side and started sawing the wood board. Xiaoxin was getting a little bored watching him, so he started playing with Xiaobai.

Mingxu and Guangzhi smiled when they saw this. Everyone knew Shin-chan's personality, so they didn't take it too seriously. He was a bit like Mi-ya, who worked for three days and rested for two days, but he would still complete things seriously once he decided to do them.

After the father and son worked together to fix the wooden boards, Mingxu connected the joints and sawed off some protruding tenons. Then the overall structure of Xiaobai's doghouse was completed. The next step was to apply a layer of paint.

After Guangzhi took the paint out of the warehouse and lifted up the paint cap with an awl, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, the paint is gone, everything here has dried up." Looking at the paint in his hand, Guangzhi scratched his head and smiled helplessly.

"Then let's go to the supermarket to buy paint." Mingxu looked at it and spread his hands. Xiaoxin suddenly poked his head out from the side: "I want to go too!"

"Okay, okay, let's go. I'll drive." Guangzhi touched Shin-chan's head and said with a smile.

"Go early and come back early." Meiya heard their voices in the room and stuck her head out.

"Got it." The three said in unison.

After driving to the supermarket, the three of them walked towards the tool section. Xiao Xin wanted to run to the snack section as soon as he entered the store, but Mingxu grabbed him and said, "Let's talk after we buy the paint."

"Oh~" Xiao Xin puffed up his face and followed them to the tool area. When he was considering which paint to choose, Xiao Xin suddenly touched the two of them and said, "Xiao Xu, Dad, look."

Hearing this, the two looked in the direction of Xiaoxin's finger with some confusion. Then Mingxu's mouth twitched. In that direction was a beautiful saleswoman selling spray paint.

"Oh, I think spray painting is not bad either." Upon seeing this, Guangzhi immediately followed Xiaoxin and walked over there righteously. Mingxu had no choice but to follow them to take a look. If the quality is good, spray painting would be fine.

Looking at the salesperson's demonstration, it seemed pretty good, so Xiaoxin immediately jumped over to strike up a conversation with her. Guangzhi also took the opportunity to chat with the female salesperson, while Mingxu was looking at the colors on the side, thinking about what to choose.

"Chi~"

Suddenly, the three heard the sound of paint spraying nearby. They turned around and saw Xiaoxin holding a bottle of spray paint and spraying it on the ground.

"boom!"

"You are not honest at all. The snacks are cancelled!" Mingxu went up and punched Xiaoxin without mercy. Xiaoxin, who was holding a big bag by his hand, doubted his life. Then he picked up a few bottles of selected paint, apologized and compensated the supermarket, and then went home with the paint.

Then spray the roof with blue paint and the walls of the house with white paint, and don't let the inside go either. Xiaobai's dog house is now complete.

"Wow, that's great." Xiaoxin couldn't help but shout when he saw the finished product.

"Yes, if it is built like this, there will be no problem even if there is an earthquake." Guangzhi pressed the doghouse with his hand and said with certainty.

"Oh, what if mom sits on it?" Xiao Xin suddenly asked.

"Uh. If your mother was sitting on it..." Guangzhi thought about the scene and whispered to the two of them, "I don't know."

"..." Mingxu had already seen Meiya coming towards them with her fists clenched.

"boom!"

"Since you said so, I must give it a try!" Meiya said as she was about to sit down on the doghouse.

"Hey, it's quite sturdy." Guangzhi wanted to stop him, but found that Mingxu held him and shook his head at him, and then he heard Meiya's voice.

"Of course, the ancient mortise and tenon structure is no joke." Mingxu said confidently.

Xiaobai barked happily around the doghouse. From that moment on, Xiaobai was officially a member of the team.
