Chapter 452 Making a Baby Cradle
"Zhang An, I thanked you and Brother Chen today and yesterday. Then we will buy things first. When we settle down, we will thank you again."
Although the house has been rented, it is not over yet, because although Zhang Jianfeng's house can be moved in directly, it only has wooden furniture, and other daily necessities need to be purchased quickly.
So they are still living in a hotel in the town, waiting until their bedding is ready before they can move in.
"It's nothing. If you just buy some ordinary necessities, you can buy them in the town. If you want something higher-end, you have to go to the city."
Zhang An waved his hand and said, giving some advice to them.
It seems that the goods in the grocery stores in the town cannot satisfy the few of them, because Zhang An can see that their conditions are relatively comfortable.
When collecting the rent just now, Zhang Jianfeng originally planned to collect it every month, but these people paid it for a year without saying a word.
Although several people paid for it together, this arm is not small.
Jiang Qiong nodded to express his understanding, and then left with his little sisters.
"Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and follow me."
At this time, Chen Ze was still standing in the yard as stupidly as a piece of wood. At this time, Zhang An looked at him really Some are angry that they don't fight and lament their misfortune.
"I'm not here, so what should I do? I have nothing to do today, right?"
Chen Ze was slapped by Zhang An, and some monks were suddenly confused.
“Of course, hurry up and follow them to see if they need help. You don’t do anything and wait for them to come to your door.”
For someone like Chen Ze From the perspective of a straight man, Zhang An really hates the iron.
“I don’t think Jiang Qiong is disgusted with you. If you are interested in someone, you should follow them now. Once you get to know each other, it will be easier for you to continue developing in the future. You can’t stay at home every day. , wait until the girl takes the initiative to ask you out."
Zhang An originally thought that he was straight enough, but he didn't expect that Young Master Chen was straighter than him, and he couldn't even turn around.
If you don’t wake up his stubborn head, he may really remain a widower in the future.
But there is no way, who makes him one of the few friends.
All the friends around him are getting married and having children. He cannot be allowed to continue like this.
Even Zhang Ping, who Zhang An thinks is the most stupid, is now very passionate with Bai Xue, and seems to be talking about marriage recently.
“Ah, just follow me like this, wouldn’t it be a bit shameless?”
Although Chen Ze has been awakened by Zhang An, he still can’t let go of being single for more than 20 years. of reserve.
“Bah, how much is face worth? When chasing a girl, you have to put down your face. The more shameless you are, the greater the chance. If you struggle for a long time, everyone will leave, and the day lilies will be cold by then. "
Zhang An was imparting Chen Ze's experience as if he were a teacher, but he seemed to have forgotten that he was not like this at the beginning.
If Su Ying hadn’t taken the initiative, there’s no telling what would have happened now.
"Okay, then I will follow you now."
Chen Ze was so provoked by Zhang An that he lost his reserve and looked completely different from before.
"By the way, when you go, help others carry their things, but don't rush to pay, because you are not at that point yet, and this kind of behavior can easily get extra points."
If it were someone else, Zhang An wouldn't worry about this, but if it were Chen Ze, this would really be a possibility.
In the eyes of this Lord, money is really regarded as dirt.
Chen Ze nodded to express understanding, raised his feet and chased after them. Finally, he caught up with a few people at the entrance of the village.
Zhang An glanced at the entrance of the village for a few times, then withdrew his gaze, turned back to the house, and moved the wooden horse and the carpenter's tool box into the yard.
After all, my child is about to be born, and my second godson is about to be one month old, so it’s time to prepare something.
With all the tools in hand, Zhang An pulled out a few pieces of Davidia wood from the space.
I bought half a Luban book from Zhang Yixing before, and Zhang An has been reading it recently.
I just had some experience, so I was ready to put it into practice.
What Zhang An wants to do this time is a baby cradle and a walker, two of each, one for each of his son and godson.
Actually, Zhang An didn't want to go to such trouble at first, and planned to buy a longevity lock for the children of the Ding family as a full-month gift.
But Chen Ze was one step ahead of him and found someone to prepare the longevity lock.
A child cannot wear two longevity locks, that would be unlucky.
So Zhang An could only think of another way to give something different.
After much thought, I finally decided to make a baby rocker and walker.
The gift does not need to be expensive, as long as it is thoughtful, especially the relationship between him and Ding Yi and others.
And baby rockers and walkers are the most suitable things, especially the baby rocker, which is of little use to these two new parents.
A newborn child is not very adaptable to this world.
Basically he sleeps all the time during the day and starts to tease me at night. When I hold him, he is very obedient and looks like a well-behaved baby.
But if you dare to put it down from your hands, he will definitely make trouble and teach you how to behave.
But at this time, I couldn’t hit him or scold him, so I could only coax him patiently.
So for those who have just become parents, the first few months are really like a year, and it is very torturous.
At this time, there is a great need for a baby cradle to replace this job.
Zhang An had found a drawing of a baby crib in a book before, which was better than the ones currently sold in factories.
The only disadvantage is that it requires manual operation.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, it is something left by the ancients. At that time, there was no such thing as automatic or not.
Although the drawings are from the past, Zhang An’s thinking is not the previous thinking.
Now that we are in an era of scientific development, it is the last word to learn to combine ancient and modern times.
Zhang An spent several days studying the drawings of the baby shaker and found that the manual baby shaker could be transformed into a fully automatic baby shaker by adding a small-power motor.
The only disadvantage is that you need to buy a motor, and it consumes electricity when shaking.
But for a few families, this is something that can be solved with a little money, and it cannot be considered a shortcoming at all.
After studying for so many days, Zhang An also felt a little itchy.
I just have nothing to do today, so I can do some hands-on practice.
According to the drawings, the keel of the baby cradle needs to be determined first. And the keel needs to be bent with fire, which requires new wood that has just been modified.
If the material is old, it cannot be bent no matter how it is roasted over fire.
But Zhang An is not worried about this. Although the Davidia wood materials in his space have been there for a long time.
But due to the characteristics of the space, the wood is still as good as new and is still very dry.
There was no electric saw at home, only a hand saw. It took Zhang An a long time to cut the keel.
“Hey, what are Master Zhang planning to do today?”
When Zhang An was lighting a fire in the yard, a voice came from behind. Zhang An knew who it was without turning around. Coming.
"You guys are not staying at home to watch your wife during confinement and help take care of the children. Why are you here?"
The person who came here was Ding Yi, who had just become a new father. Maybe it was because he had a child. This guy's face has become rosy and cheerful recently, and he looks like a spirited young man.
“I wanted to go and help, but it’s not my turn at all. Look, my grandparents, my parents-in-law, and even my eldest sister are here to guard your godson. Too much, I couldn't get in at all during the day. Only at night is when I can embody a father, but the little guy is too troublesome. He won't sleep all night and needs someone to hold him all the time. He can't even put him down for a moment. You see how haggard I have become in the past few days.”
Ding Yi seems to be a man who has been walking in the desert for a long time. When he sees Zhang An, he feels like he is hungry and thirsty. Talking to him.
He couldn't even see the children during the day, and they all went to bed at night, so the little guy could only torture him.
Sometimes he wants Li Li to help him change hands, but Li Li only has one sentence, I want to be confined.
Now he looks like a resentful woman, full of resentment.
Although it had only been a few days, Zhang An could tell that this guy was already a little mentally disturbed.
On the one hand, his face is glowing and on the other hand, he is full of resentment. It is simply a contradiction.
"Then what can I do? After all, you gave birth to yourself. No matter how hard or tired you are, you still have to endure it. Besides, I will have to be like you after a while. I just hope that the one in my family can Be sensible and don’t be too torturous.”
Although Zhang An sounded sympathetic, he was actually not worried at all.
Isn’t it just to stay up late? There is space, and then take some time to get enough sleep in the space.
You may be so energetic at night that you don’t even want to close your eyes.
"By the way, did you come over unexpectedly today? In fact, you could have made a phone call."
After realizing that the topic had gone awry, Zhang An quickly brought it back to the topic.
“My mother said she wanted to make some red eggs to give to relatives and friends, so I came to ask you to see how many eggs you still have here. After all, I only recognize eggs laid by your hens. ”
Now Zhang An’s eggs are the top brand of poultry and eggs in his supermarket.
It's a pity that Zhang An refused to expand the breeding, and only gave him a batch occasionally, which he used as a treasure for the store.
"That's it. You can just call me. Do you need to come over here?"
Zhang An looked at this guy as if he was crazy. A matter of just a few words has to go so far.
"Didn't I just want to come out and get some fresh air? I'm almost going crazy after staying at home every day."
This does not sound like Li Li is in confinement, but more like It was like he was in confinement.
"Let me take you to see it. I don't know how many more there are."
Wang Fang is always picking the eggs that their hens lay every day. Zhang An really Not impressed, he would just grab a few when he wanted to eat.
"Here, there are two more big pots. They must have been laid recently. These should be enough."
Entering the house, the big pot on the ground containing eggs was filled with two large pots. A large bowl of eggs, at least several hundred.
“That’s enough, that’s enough. I want all of these, just to bring good luck to the folks in the village. Thank you for their support of my business.” Eggs are basically one for each person in the family. If they are just given to their relatives, they will definitely not need so many eggs.
But Ding Yi is still thinking about the villagers in Changqing Village. Usually these people keep whatever they have waiting for him.
Every time I see him, he always calls "Boss Xiao Ding, Boss Xiao Ding", which makes him happy.
This time, I happened to take advantage of my son’s full moon, so I also gave everyone some red eggs to bring good luck to my son.
"I'm not too lazy to count how much money I have. You take the money. If it's too much, you'll give it to me. If it's too little, I'll buy it at a high price. Your eggs are worth it."
Ding Yi took a red envelope and handed it to Zhang An, which was money to buy eggs.
"Okay, thank you to our boss for your support."
Zhang An took the red envelope with a smile and said a few more auspicious words.
In fact, because of his relationship with Ding Yi, and the child is his godson, the money is not required.
But these eggs are used to make red eggs, and even brothers’ families have to accept the money.
Because this is a local rule, if you don’t charge money, these eggs will not be able to carry the blessings of each family, unless they are laid by your own chickens.
Before Ding Yi came, his grandparents also told him that he must give this money, so he specially sealed a red envelope.
“By the way, what are you planning to do with such a big fanfare today, and you’re using such good materials.”
Ding Yi recognized the involucrata wood material, but starting from this year, the involucrata involucrata began to be strictly controlled, so he did not mention the name for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
"Hey, this is a gift for my godson. Weren't you just complaining to me about the difficulty of raising children? This thing can relieve your worries."
What you need now The materials have already been cut and you only need to process them before you can start making them.
Zhang An did not plan to use nails, because it can be fixed with a mortise and tenon structure, which will be stronger than nails when done.
"Oh? A cradle?"
After hearing Zhang An's words, Ding Yi's eyes immediately lit up, and the first thing he thought of was the cradle.
“I guessed half right, this thing is called a baby cradle. When I buy a small motor and install it, it will become a fully automatic cradle. I believe my godson will like it very much, but You can’t do it in these two or three days, so stop dreaming.”
Ding’s eyes were full of longing, and he could tell without asking. He wanted to pray to Zhang An to do it quickly so that he could be liberated. .
But this thing is quite complicated to make, and it cannot be done overnight. It will definitely take a few days.
And this is Zhang An’s first time making it, so maybe it won’t be successful.
"Okay, then you have to hurry up, brother, my life is in your hands."
Ding Yi also knew that it was troublesome to make this thing, because he just looked at what Zhang An handed him. That drawing became a little dizzy. He really couldn't understand anything about it.
