“Make wooden”

Upon listening to these phrases, Cheng Yun was momentarily surprised. On one hand, Yang Hongjin hadn’t requested him a query throughout his nightly soliloquies for a very long time, and alternatively, he hadn’t actually considered this query earlier than.

‘Do you continue to wish to return?’ If he had been requested this query half a month in the past, Cheng Yun’s reply would have been a particular sure.

In any case, his lifestyle for over twenty years had undergone a 360-degree transformation in a single day. In a world with out the web, all the things was inconvenient, and at the moment, he was burdened with heavy obligations and his household was struggling to make ends meet. He additionally needed to maintain an enormous fool, and each morning, the very first thing he did was examine if all the things round him was a dream, and if he had been transported again in time.

However now that he had been right here for nearly a month, he had regularly turn into accustomed to the day by day chores and had discovered a method to earn cash. His pockets had been beginning to replenish, and all the things was slowly getting higher, with out the preliminary chaos and embarrassment.

Furthermore, he now had a big different. Though their relationship was extra like that of a mom and son, it was simple that Yang Hongjin was the individual closest to him, greater than anybody else on the planet, even surpassing his organic mother and father who had ignored him up to now.

Though Yang Hongjin gave the impression to be clueless about all the things, he knew higher than anybody else who was good to him. Cheng Yun thought it might be troublesome to discover a accomplice in fashionable occasions, not to mention along with his sexual orientation, which was extraordinarily troublesome to navigate in fashionable society.

If he exchanged this fool for the bustling and colourful fashionable society, Cheng Yun significantly considered it…

He actually wouldn’t wish to.

On the considered leaving and Yang Hongjin turning into the pitiful little boy with no mom or father, Cheng Yun’s coronary heart ached.

He circled and confronted Yang Hongjin within the darkness, reaching for his head, he softly mentioned, “I received’t go away, I’ll keep and maintain you, okay?”

Yang Hongjin’s eyes shone like obsidian within the dim night time, wanting intently at Cheng Yun. He swept away his earlier grievance and replied loudly, “Okay!”

It had been virtually a month since Cheng Yun first used the speech spirit. He wasn’t in a rush to plant new crops in massive portions, however the land within the yard was nonetheless vacant, so he planted some fast-growing vegetable seeds on his personal.

Aunt Wang had beforehand taught him how you can soak and sprout mung bean sprouts, and Cheng Yun purchased two kilos of inexperienced beans from city to attempt it out. In only a few days, the inexperienced beans sprouted and grew small bean sprouts. Cheng Yun lit up the illustartion and as well as, may add one other dish to the dinner desk.

Liu Wen has accomplished the preliminary stage of the work, and Cheng Yun doesn’t must go to city throughout this time. He spends his time at dwelling, planting greens within the yard and researching new dishes. When he has nothing to do, he sits subsequent to Yang Hongjin and watches him do carpentry work, having fun with his relaxed life.

To assist Yang Hongjin with carpentry work, the 2 of them often go to the mountains to cut wooden.

There’s a household within the village, surnamed Lin, who earns a dwelling by doing carpentry work. Often, they assist the villagers restore furnishings. At first, after they noticed Cheng Yun and Yang Hongjin come to the mountains, choosing out bigger bushes and chopping them down on the spot to take them away, the person named Lin Yimu’s face appeared a bit sad.

He has lived within the village for greater than thirty years and naturally is aware of this uncommon couple. Not too long ago, he heard from his spouse that they all the time went to city. He initially thought that the 2 of them had nothing to do with him. Nonetheless, now that they’ve appeared right here, Lin Yimu panicked for a second.

He has a cooperative relationship with a furnishings retailer on the town and helps make furnishings to earn cash each month. Though there are different folks within the village who know carpentry, solely Lin Yimu focuses on it. There have by no means been any opponents up to now. Unexpectedly, these two rumored folks appeared right here.

Cheng Yun is aware of nothing about this. Not too long ago, he out of the blue found that the tables and chairs at dwelling had been broken by termites. Aunt Wang advised him that it’s straightforward to draw termites throughout this season. Fortuitously, they discovered early. Aside from the tables and chairs in the principle corridor, which had been barely broken, the others weren’t closely corroded. He requested Aunt Wang for some drugs to sprinkle round the home, however the ones which have been broken have to get replaced.

Yang Hongjin solely is aware of how you can give attention to his ‘carpentry work’thud, thud, thud’ and Cheng Yun additionally is aware of nothing about wooden. It was uncommon to come across somebody chopping wooden within the again mountains, so Cheng Yun was very completely happy and shortly greeted the woodcutter whereas main Yang Hongjin ahead. However earlier than he may clarify his intentions, Lin Yimu checked out them and turned to do his personal work with out giving them a correct face.

Cheng Yun was surprised and stopped his steps. After pondering for a second, he shortly understood what the opposite celebration meant.

He didn’t pressure others to simply accept them. There are numerous folks within the village who look down on them, so he didn’t trouble to make enjoyable of himself. He simply pulled Yang Hongjin and circled to do his personal factor.

There are numerous varieties of bushes within the again mountains, however all of them look the identical in Cheng Yun’s eyes. He tried to ask Yang Hongjin, “Fool, what sort of tree did you employ for making furnishings earlier than?”

Yang Hongjin checked out him and blinked, then grinned, “Brother did it!”

Cheng Yun: “…” He knew it.

He had heard of one thing referred to as ‘hongmu’ (crimson wooden) and ‘suanzhi’ (rosewood) earlier than, however solely had a obscure impression of those names. He couldn’t distinguish suanzhi and didn’t know whether or not it was a kind of tree or a reputation for furnishings. Nonetheless, the identify hongmu, because the identify suggests, in all probability meant crimson wooden.

Cheng Yun made up his thoughts and began searching for crimson wooden. He and Yang Hongjin wandered across the mountains and forests, wanting right here and touching there. Lastly, they discovered a tree with a yellowish-red trunk.

He requested Yang Hongjin to cut off a chunk. The wooden had a novel woody perfume with a nice scent, much like the scent of sandalwood utilized in Buddhist prayer beads. Cheng Yun didn’t know if this was thought of hongmu, however he imagined the nice scent of this wooden in his dwelling as a sort of enjoyment.

So, he didn’t trouble to search for different wooden and requested Yang Hongjin to cut down the tree and save extra wooden to make an entire set of furnishings. He imagined the looks of the furnishings and felt very happy.

Lin Yimu, who had been watching their actions, frowned when he noticed the tree they discovered. He initially considered ignoring them and letting them do no matter they needed. Some wooden supplies had been notably brittle and never appropriate for furnishings making. Nonetheless, he didn’t count on these two folks to by accident discover Huanghuali wooden (Chinese language rosewood)!

Huanghuali wooden is wear-resistant, heavy, and has a excessive power. Even with out portray, it’s not simply decayed after being crafted. Over time, it is going to turn into deeper and extra steady in coloration as a result of air’s impact. It’s wooden emits a quiet perfume, making it probably the most valuable furnishings supplies after zitan wooden (purple sandalwood) and the favored wooden for nobles within the metropolis.

There are numerous Huanghuali bushes within the mountainous space behind Tiejia Village, together with an entire space within the forest. A number of furnishings shops within the Nanming Metropolis space come right here to acquire supplies.

Nonetheless, odd people who find themselves not educated about wooden can’t simply establish this sort of wooden. Many individuals are inclined to randomly lower down wooden that appears white and clear, however they have no idea that such wooden is commonly brittle and vulnerable to termite infestation, making it unsuitable for furnishings making. In distinction, this sort of wooden with a darker hue is the only option.

Lin Yimu had additionally been an apprentice when he was younger, and at first, he didn’t know something about figuring out wooden. He slowly discovered how you can distinguish good wooden from unhealthy wooden. Nonetheless, these two folks had shortly recognized the high-quality wooden at a look and deliberate to chop down lots of it. They will need to have the power to acknowledge good wooden.

If he had simply been cautious of them earlier than, he was now beginning to panic. Mixed with current rumors that that they had been going to city ceaselessly, he fearful that they is perhaps competing with him for enterprise. If that had been the case, he would lose his benefit as the one one within the village who may make furnishings.

Lin Yimu regretted not responding to Cheng Yun when he greeted him earlier. He ought to have probed him extra about his intentions. He absent-mindedly chopped the wooden whereas often glancing at Cheng Yun. Inadvertently, he lower his hand.

“Ouch!” The ache brought on his hand to shake, and though the wound was not too deep, blood gushed out repeatedly.

Lin Yimu shortly pressed on the wound, tears welling up in his eyes from the ache. He appeared on the wooden stained with blood after which at his injured hand, which throbbed in agony.

He cursed inwardly, realizing that he may not be capable to ship the chairs he was alleged to this month on time. He instantly considered Cheng Yun and Yang Hongjin, hoping they might assist him. If not, he must compensate his shoppers for the delay.

Nonetheless, the couple who had been enjoying and chopping wooden simply now had disappeared and not using a hint, leaving Lin Yimu alone within the huge forest, feeling helpless and on the verge of tears.
