Chapter 739: Unattended Books
"Big pot, big pot, grandma promised me that in the future, she would use very fragrant wood to give me a new bed, a new cabinet, and new tables and chairs!" Chen Li happily ran to the yard, holding Chen Feng's hand and said.
"Can I have a train bed?"
Chen Feng almost died of laughter.
"You have a problem with trains, don't you?"
Chen Li didn't understand, so she shook his hand and nodded seriously, "I want the train!"
"The house is so small, where do you put your train bed? Outside?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
Chen Li was suddenly stumped.
She looked around the yard and quickly shook her head.
"It's going to rain outside!"
The old lady came out to continue making breakfast. The old man asked Chen Feng not to waste materials and to prepare the wedding bed, tables, chairs, stools, etc. in advance. Chen Feng could only nod in agreement.
"Brother, do you really want to make a bed?" Chen Hao asked in a low voice.
He had long envied Chen Li's bunk bed. Even he liked this car-like design with a private cabinet.
Chen Feng knew what he was thinking and said, "You are already this old, even if there is a double-decker bed, you can't get into it."
He planned to make a few bookshelves and a large wooden revolving dining table so that Chen Li, Chen Hao and others would not have to stand up to pick up the plates that were too far away every time they wanted to pick up food.
Then make a revolving table suitable for making fire, barbecuing, boiling water and having dinner parties in winter.
According to this calculation, two pieces of golden nanmu are just right.
"Lily, why are you running around?" Zhou Qing came out and almost bumped into his daughter. Fortunately, the little girl was agile and avoided her using the Bagua steps she had learned.
"Hehe, I want to see the house."
Zhou Qing asked in confusion: "Haven't you seen enough of our house?"
Chen Li ran around the rooms and finally came to a conclusion.
"Cauldron, we can sleep in Grandpa's room."
The little Loli pointed at the main hall and said.
Without a doubt, the main hall is the largest and the most empty.
"That's the reception room. You can't sleep there." Chen Feng smiled and smashed the little girl's abacus.
After breakfast, Li Jie came over to play for a while, Chen Feng sent Chen Li to school, and Chen Hao and the other two had to walk to school.
There was nothing to do in the morning, so he used tools to process the golden nanmu wood at home. After school at noon, Chen Li came back and squatted beside him, watching him make the bookshelf.
After lunch, Zhu Lin and her sister came over to play.
"Brother Chen Feng, can you use this fragrant wood to make a desk for me?" Zhu Lin fell in love with the wooden board with golden threads as soon as she saw it.
The golden nanmu trees grown in space are brighter in color and have a stronger fragrance than wild ones, a bit like old wood that has grown for hundreds of years.
"Sixty dollars!"
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Ah, this wood is so expensive?" Zhu Lin exclaimed.
The three girls, Chen Li, Zhu Zhu and Li Jie, rolled their eyes, especially Chen Li. She heard that the wood was very expensive, so she thought about collecting the wood chips and fragments and selling them to others.
Chen Feng smiled and didn't answer.
Sixty bucks isn't unreasonable.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were no big capitalists or comprador class purchasing luxury furniture, and the search for golden nanmu in tropical rain forests and deep forests in Yunnan, Hubei and other places basically stagnated.
The material of golden nanmu is extremely rare, and what's more, it is grown in space, so its quality far exceeds that of other wild tree species.
"It's 1 o'clock, go take a nap."
"Let's go to bed!" Zhu Lin took the three girls to the bedroom. After a while, Chen Li ran out and said, "Big Pot, we want to drink some water."
If you want ordinary water, just go to the kitchen.
Little foodie wants to drink ice soda.
"Go find Bayi and get you a bottle."
After getting the iced soda from the cellar, Chen Li finally calmed down and lay down on the bed to sleep.
At 1:50 pm, Zhu Lin took them to school.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng completed the first bookshelf, and Su Mei, the logistics director of Shichahai Sports School, parked the truck at the door.
"Chen Feng!"
The old man looked up at the door and said, "Wait a moment."
Chen Feng put down his tools and came out. Seeing Su Mei, he hurried forward.
"Why didn't you notify us in advance?"
Su Mei took him to the back of the car and said, "Originally, this car was arranged by the Education Bureau to go to Inner Mongolia to purchase mutton, but they informed us that the mutton previously reserved was allocated to the garrison, so there is no need to send a car."
"The principal used his connections to arrange for this bus to be used in the afternoon for us."
"If it weren't for this, it would probably take several days to wait for the Education Bureau to have extra trucks. The transportation company is very busy right now."
Chen Feng knew this. It was said that train tickets were hard to get, and a large number of locomotives were used as transport vehicles.
There are folding seats in the carriage, fixed at the front of the carriage.
Chen Feng took it off and sat in the back with Su Mei.
Su Mei gave an instruction to the driver, and the truck started quickly, slowly left the alley, and drove towards the Education Bureau warehouse.
In fact, Su Mei could sit in the passenger seat, but she probably felt it was impolite to leave Chen Feng alone in the trunk, so she chatted with him.
She had a good understanding and insight into Soviet literature, and Chen Feng, relying on his memory, could recite a few famous lines from Russian literature in a few words. For a while, the two of them had a very good chat.
It is easy to pass the boring time by chatting. Su Mei stopped communicating only after the car stopped.
"Arrived so soon?"
Chen Feng got out of the car with a smile and said, "Sijiu City is not big to begin with."
Su Mei was the one who did all the subsequent work. She took the instruction note, went to find the warehouse manager, and then entered the warehouse.
"Chen Feng, go and go look for it. When you find it, bring it here to register!" Su Mei led the driver to move the books and instructed Chen Feng before leaving.
"Are all the books here recorded?" Chen Feng asked the warehouse manager curiously.
The young warehouse manager shook his head and said, "There are too many books. There are at least hundreds of thousands of newspapers printed during the Republic of China period. How can we remember them all? I just need to make sure you get the right number."
"Newspapers from the Republic of China, are there any here?"
"Yes, they used to belong to the Publishing Bureau, I think that's the name. Their warehouse has backup copies of all the newspapers." The warehouse manager took a cigarette from Chen Feng but didn't light it. He smiled and said, "Many of the books, newspapers, calligraphy and paintings here were transported from the former department warehouses in the old city."
"It's useless. If it's left here, it will rot sooner or later. It's giving us supervisors a headache. We report it every year and hope it will be sent to each school so that the teachers can keep and maintain it."
Chen Feng looked a little strange.
Are you passing the buck to each other?
