The sun is a bit bright.
The main road was a bit far, so Su Yu took the path in the fields.
It's not the harvest season yet, and the fields are all green.
Occasionally, Su Yu met people from the same village who were working in the fields, and Su Yu returned their warm greetings one by one.
After sweating a lot, we finally arrived at the next village.
The carpenter's surname was Liu, and he was a migrant.
When his father was young, he fled disaster with his family and came here to seek refuge with relatives. He relied on his carpentry skills to settle here and has been living here ever since.
When villagers here want to build furniture or do carpentry work at home, they basically come to him.
His carpentry skills are average, but he is enough to meet the daily needs of the villagers.
Hearing Su Yu say that he wanted to make a strong big bed, he put down the awl in his hand.
"You want such a big bed?"
What Su Yu was talking about was compared to the modern large bed that was about two meters and two meters in size.
People in rural areas generally don't make such a big bed.
Hearing this suddenly, Carpenter Liu couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him curiously.
Wearing a robe made of ordinary clothing, he looked like a scholar.
Either from Qiushui Village next door, or from Songjia Village.
Something big seemed to have happened in Qiushui Village nearby, and Carpenter Liu also heard about it.
Seeing this young man, he also had some gossip thoughts.
But before that, we still have to do business first.
After asking Su Yu clearly about the size of the bed he wanted to build, he took a piece of wood and marked it a few times and recorded it.
"Your bed is made big. I have never made one of this size here."
"The bed frame has to be re-sourced with wood, and it will take a while to be ready."
Su Yu hesitated: "How long will it take?"
Carpenter Liu gave an approximate time: "The common wood used is not difficult to find, but polishing will take time. It is estimated to take about a month."
"Beds are large items, so they are usually ordered far in advance."
"There's no need to rush."
This was in ancient times, when everything had to be made by hand.
And it takes time to find suitable wood, so it definitely won’t be that fast.
But the small bed made of benches last night was really uncomfortable, and Su Yu didn't sleep well at all.
"That......"
"Then do you have a bed here that is faster and not too small for you to sleep on?"
Carpenter Liu pointed to the materials aside.
"Then you came just in time."
"Half a year ago, a man from Songjia Village asked me to order a bed. He wanted good wood."
"I had some extra wood shipped over by the way. After finishing his work, the extra wood just happened to be used for another piece. It's almost finished now."
"This bed is a little smaller, but it should be fine for two people."
"If you want it, we can finish it and install it for you in a few days."
Su Yu's family is big and has several rooms.
I bought this bed now and will sleep on it for a while. After the big bed is ready, I can move it to the room next to it.
With this in mind, Su Yu simply made the reservation.
You also need to pay a deposit together with the double bed.
Seeing that Su Yu was so generous and ordered two large items at once, Liu Carpenter's rough face showed a happy smile.
"Young boy, you want to book such a big bed, but are you getting married?"
Su Yu also smiled and replied: "We are already married."
"It's just that I wasn't ready before, so I booked the bed a little late."
"Oh, we're already married." Carpenter Liu chuckled.
"The bed I made is durable and you can mess with it no matter what you do!"
Carpenter Liu smiled ambiguously, and Su Yu touched his nose in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Seeing Su Yu's young and nonchalant look, Liu Carpenter couldn't help but laugh a few times.
After counting the deposit and handing it over, Carpenter Liu called his son to count the money.
He discussed other details with Su Yu.
"Which village will the bed be delivered to?"
Su Yu said: "Send it to Qiushui Village."
"Qiushui Village..."
Liu Carpenter asked curiously: "I heard that a lot of things happened in your village today?"
"Then Song Laogen brought people to your place to cause trouble?"
Su Yu nodded, there was nothing to hide.
The village is not far away, and most of the elders know each other.
It won't be long before the news reaches here.
"Well, here we come."
"But when the officials came later, they left."
Su Yu's tone was calm and he didn't take these people at ease.
Seeing that Su Yu was so easy to talk to, Liu Carpenter talked a lot more.
He had just been thinking about gossip, and it turned out that this young man happened to be from Qiushui Village.
Liu Carpenter chatted and told Su Yu a piece of news directly.
"I just said that someone from Songjiacun came to book a good bed with me six months ago. That person was Song Laogen."
"He said he would make a good bed for his daughter to use when she gets married later."
"His daughter is engaged to a young boy from your village."
At this point, it is already very clear.
The Song family has been trying to break off their engagement with Su Yu, and their fellow villagers have also heard about it.
The engagement there was not really terminated, so here they asked him to make a marriage bed.
It's obvious that Chen Cang was secretly planning to find other suitable people early on.
Carpenter Liu shook his head: "This Song Laogen is really a bit unkind."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows.
His story has been widely spread in the surrounding villages.
It’s not surprising to hear other people discussing it.
If the original owner had changed, he might still feel angry.
After all, the Song family had an engagement with him, but they didn't even cancel the engagement, so they went to find other families behind his back.
But Su Yu himself didn't have much idea.
After all, Gu Changle is good-looking, virtuous and sensible, and none of the ten Song Yuxiangs can compare with him.
Su Yu smiled and didn't answer.
I really don't want to discuss the Song family anymore.
Carpenter Liu talked enthusiastically for a while, and then he stopped after his son counted the deposit.
Remembering that the business seemed unfinished, I finally brought the topic back.
"By the way, young man, which family in Qiushui Village are you from?"
"When it's ready, we'll have to send it to you to install it."
Su Yu replied: "My name is Su Yu, you can just send it to my house directly."
"Su Yu...this name is quite familiar..." Liu Carpenter didn't remember it for a while.
Carpenter Liu's son looked at Su Yu in surprise.
After pulling it, I wanted to ask about Su Yu's family situation and see who the elder was, Carpenter Liu.
He whispered: "Dad, he is the scholar who had a baby kiss with Song Yuxiang."
"I heard that the government sent someone to deliver the good news today. They said that the government tried it and now he is a boy."
"It's you!" Carpenter Liu also remembered.
Just now he had said so much gossip about me in front of others. Carpenter Liu blushed and looked at Su Yu embarrassedly.
"I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to say those things about you just now."
Su Yu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"Everyone knows these things anyway."
"Now that I am married too, let him let bygones be bygones."
Although Su Yu didn't care, Carpenter Liu was still embarrassed.
No longer embarrassed to do what he did just now, he pulled Su Yu and continued to play.
Anyway, the things have been ordered and the bed will be delivered in a few days.
Su Yu took the opportunity to say goodbye and left Carpenter Liu's house.
As usual, we went back through the fields.
It's time for the sun to set in the west now, and it's not as bright anymore.
There are more people working in the fields.
Not far away, there were waves of girls talking and laughing.
Su Yu looked over and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
"Song Yuxiang?"
I just heard Carpenter Liu talk a lot, but I didn't expect to see her in the blink of an eye.
Su Yu withdrew his eyes, pretended not to see it, and wanted to leave.
But he didn't expect Song Yuxiang over there to also find him.
She said, "Su Yu, are you here specifically to see me?"
