Chapter 1 Beijing in 1982(2/2)

After liberation, in order to solve the housing difficulties of citizens, the state transformed some courtyards into large courtyards.

Beijingers who can live in such large courtyard houses converted from courtyard houses are basically the working class.

"Aunt Wang is back from shopping for groceries?"

"Aunt Wang, what dishes are there today?"

As soon as Aunt Wang entered the door, someone greeted her.

Aunt Wang responded while leading Zhang Junping to the backyard.

Only then did Zhang Junping discover that this was a large courtyard renovated from a large courtyard with three entrances.

The yard is very big, and you can carry your things across the yard.

"Aunt Wang, are you visiting relatives?" Someone saw Zhang Junping and asked curiously.

"Isn't my table Lao Huang? I asked a master to repair it!"

"That's a good relationship. The bed at my house is also old and shabby. Let me fix it too!" The man said with a smile.

Zhang Junping smiled bitterly in his heart, he wanted to carry out his furniture repair business to the end!

Forget it, just one sheep is being driven, and a group of sheep is being herded, so just practice it!

It’s better than going hungry!

"Little comrade, look at my table. It keeps shaking. I have repaired it several times, but it has not been repaired!" The aunt said to Zhang Junping as she opened the door and entered the room.

Entering the main room, Zhang Junping looked around casually.

There is an Eight Immortals table placed against the wall at the front door.

There are teacups, teapots and other things on the Eight Immortals table.

There is a portrait of the chairman on the wall.

On both sides of the Eight Immortals table are two four-headed official hat chairs.

When Zhang Junping saw the four-headed official hat chairs on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, his eyes flashed.

Although he didn't look carefully, based on his experience as a top wood artist, these two four-year-old official hat chairs are objects with wide doors.

Judging from the shape, it can be dated to the Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the texture and color of the wood, we can conclude that this is a pair of Ming Dynasty small-leaf rosewood four-year-old official hat chairs.

"Aunt, is this the table?" Zhang Junping asked, pointing to the Eight Immortals table tied with wire. "Yes, that's it! It keeps shaking, and it won't work even if it's tied with wire!" "Aunt, please take away the things on it first.

, let me check what the problem is!"

Zhang Junping helped put aside the teapot, tea bowl and other things.

He stretched out his hand and shook the Eight Immortals table to feel it, then lowered his head and got under the table to take a look.

"Auntie, your Eight Immortals Table has been around for a long time!

Judging from the workmanship, this is furniture from before liberation!”

"You are absolutely right, little comrade. Let me tell you, this table was made by someone when I got married!

It’s been more than thirty years now!” When the aunt heard this, she clapped her hands and laughed.

After Zhang Junping finished the inspection, he raised his head and said to the aunt: "You have an old craftsmanship and a mortise and tenon structure. It's just that after using it for a long time, the gaps between the mortise and tenon have become larger. I'll just add a plug for you!"

Guarantee you to use it for another thirty years!"

"Thirty more years? Then it won't be an antique anymore?"

The kids at home said they should get new ones, but I just couldn’t bear to part with them!

This table was made of good materials at that time!" The aunt touched the table and said with a nostalgic smile.

"Indeed, you made it out of old elm wood!

This kind of material will not break even if it is used for a hundred years!" Zhang Junping nodded and agreed.

"Auntie, is it okay if I move the Eight Immortals table to the yard to repair it?" Zhang Junping glanced at the narrow room.

It is said to be the main room, but in this main room, in addition to the Eight Immortals table and the official hat chair, there are also two beds and a wardrobe.

The originally small room was packed to the brim.
