An hour later, when Shen Huai and Master Xia came over with the table and bed, they saw several children banging on the trees by the stream.
At first he thought they were nailing boxes, but when he got closer he realized they were still boxes, but small and flimsy.
Shen Lingzhu, who was the commander-in-chief at the time, saw that Xia Wang couldn't work because of his uncle standing next to him, so he quickly asked him to move away.
He first asked the driver why he didn't come back, and learned that they had already set off with two tribesmen after dinner, then he told him his plan.
Then ask: "Do you think this is feasible?"
“You’ll know only after you try it. Uncle will make one too later.
You, young as you are, worry so much. Be careful not to grow up." After Shen Huai finished speaking, he saw his niece looking at him with suspicion. He understood and smiled, "It's no coincidence that my uncle got the job in the Ministry of Personnel."
Both his second brother and he inherited their father's hobby of arranging small objects. He was too busy with work to enjoy himself, so he never stopped his second brother from doing what he wanted.
He asked about his wife's condition again, and when he heard his niece say that she was sleeping very soundly, he decided to put the bed and table outside the yard.
Shen Lingzhu looked at the large bed that was carried down and said in embarrassment: "There are beds in both bedrooms. This one in the kitchen won't fit. I can put a table and bed in the main hall. Okay, it can be made doable."
“The Qiangong bed will not be installed for the time being and will be placed next to the main hall. It is easy to get misplaced after use because it is missing a part.
And I can't install it by myself." Shen Huai didn't plan to keep his wife's things in someone else's house forever, and the two borrowed beds would be returned after they were set up.
But when he really started making the bellows, he found that his niece was actually using a machete to drill holes in the wood. "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. I'll ask who has a complete set of carpentry tools."
"Fifth Master, the village carpenter went out to work a few days ago and hasn't come back yet." Xia Wang reminded bravely.
Shen Xianzhu also said: "Dad, Erwang has already asked, and the carpenter's tools are not at home."
"Uncle, a machete can also be used." Shen Miaozhu didn't demand perfection from the first bellows. "What we lack now is glue and more chicken feathers."
"There are still some fish bladder glues in the tribe school. Why don't you follow me down the mountain to get them, Fifth Master?" Mr. Xia didn't understand what they were fiddling with, but he could give some support.
Shen Lingzhu raised his hand and said, "Uncle is tired after a day, I will go with you to get it."
Mr. Xia just smiled and said nothing, and Shen Huai understood that he had something to say to him alone.
After the two of them had walked a long way with the donkey cart, Mr. Xia finally spoke: "When Mr. Chi first moved his things to the clan school, he used his box of chisels, saws, planes, and ink fountains to repair tables and chairs for the children and make new windows.
Later, the third old master said that the tables and chairs at home were unstable, so he borrowed the box of tools.
Only Mr. Chi and I were present at this matter."
The implication is that Shen Desheng took it and never returned it.
Shen Huai nodded slightly, then said: "Maybe the third uncle's table and chairs have not been repaired yet.
By the way, there are many good days in June. Sir, why don’t you ask the Seven Stars to predict a good time to visit Da Tang Bo’s house?”
"Well, please give me more advice then, Master Wu."
“Haha, to become the son-in-law of my Shen family, you have to be closer to me.”
They were so busy talking that they didn't notice that after they walked a distance, there was a child picking up the birds he had shot behind a big rock at the bend of the road.
The child thought for a moment, then ran towards the foot of the mountain. He waved to Xia Wang from a distance, "Brother Erwang, come here."
"Who is it? Let him come over and play." Shen Lingzhu looked again and again, but didn't recognize her. Shen Miaozhu raised her head and glanced at her. This girl was very outgoing.
Xia Wang said: "My aunt's cousin, from the next village, is staying at my house while studying at the clan school.
Class is about to start, what is he doing here?"
After he stood up, he continued, "His home is not far from Uncle Shen Jianxuan's home.
I'll go and ask if Shen Jianxuan and his men are bullying him again."
"He's been..." Unable to bully others recently, Shen Lingzhu didn't finish his words again, and Xia Wang flew away.
As soon as he ran to his cousin, the child pulled him down and made him listen to his whisper.
The more he listened, the tighter his brows furrowed. When his cousin finally finished speaking, he said, "Don't follow Shen Jianxuan secretly next time. If you can't hit him with the slingshot in your hand, you will be discovered and beaten.
It would be even worse if he got hit. His mother is always unreasonable and everyone avoids her."
"But I see that Mr. Chi's two daughters are not afraid of her and dare to knock people down and tie them up.
Later, I heard him crying in pain at the wall of his house, but Mr. Chi's daughter was fine.
I asked my sister-in-law if you were here, so I came here specifically to tell you the good news." My little cousin was also eager to find someone to share his joy with.
Xia Wang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "It's not worth your while to go to school. Hurry up and report to the school. Otherwise, be careful that Mr. Xia will spank your hands if you are late."
"No, I saw the gentleman and the scholar just leave.
And I also heard them say…” The little cousin had a good memory and told his cousin everything he overheard.
Finally, after sending the people back, Xia Wang hesitated for several times before finally telling the three siblings what his cousin had heard.
Shen Lingzhu stood up after hearing this and said, "I'll go get the things back."
You can't let others take your things and then have nowhere to borrow them when you need them.
"Come back." Shen Miaozhu caught up and said, "With just your two hands, can you move the things? I'll go with you."
Shen Xianzhu, who was chasing after her, thought that her second sister was going to stop Xiao Zhuzi, but she didn't expect that she was going to help her.
He advised: "Second sister and third sister, you just heard that only Mr. Xia and his friends were present when the things were borrowed.
If I go over and ask for it now, I will expose my husband, which is not good.
Besides, Jian Xuan had just been beaten, so he wouldn't be welcomed at this time, and Fourth Aunt is so special..."
"We don't want it. His family will never remember to return it." Who knows when Mr. Chi will come home? Shen Lingzhu watched her senior sister digging out the air outlet of the bellows bit by bit with the tip of the knife. It was laborious and tiring for her eyes.
She said, "Brother, I don't care whether they are happy or not, I just want to be happy."
After he finished speaking, he trotted down the hillside. Shen Miaozhu knew that he was frightened by the middle-aged woman's entanglement.
So he said, "Don't follow me, big brother. We will handle it. Trust me."
Shen Xianzhu hesitated for a moment. He also wanted to make the bellows as soon as possible to see the effect. Moreover, his second sister had an idea in mind. "Go find Second Grandpa."
It was impossible for the two of them to go straight to Shen Desheng to ask for the things back. After all, he was their elder, so they still had to discuss the strategy.
So the two of them did not rule out the eldest brother's method, but instead of asking the second grandfather, they asked Master Shen's mother to borrow scissors and needle and thread.
During the conversation, they mentioned that their father had a box of various knives, which he had previously lent to his third uncle for household use, and they were too embarrassed to take it back today.
As soon as the old lady heard why the two children came, she knew why. As the eldest sister-in-law in the Shen family, she had seen a lot of things.
So she asked them to wait at home for a while. After she went to her third grandfather Shen Desheng's house, Shen Jianzhang brought a box of stuff over with a cart...
