Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 36 Exchange
The third uncle was startled, and when he realized what he was doing, he was a little confused. He pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said angrily:
"What are you doing? You scared me."

"She is an orphan to say the least. In the past, it was trivial to say that she was a Sangmen star. Why should she look down on my boss? That's right! You really can't say that to our family. I guess this girl is the fate of Tai That's why she killed her parents."

"You've been working for decades, please keep your moral integrity! What kind of feudal superstition are you talking about? How can we say such things from a family like this?"

The third uncle said that he is a scholar and a scholar, and his character is engraved in his bones. As the saying goes, "Ziyu has strange power and chaos," how can he talk nonsense about these feudal superstitions at home?

So he became dissatisfied with his wife all of a sudden, and his tone was not that good. The third aunt also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and no matter what she thought in her heart, she was convinced with her mouth.
Zhao Xiaotang doesn't care what others think about him. No one in the world would say anything good about others. Even those who are principled and self-disciplined will say a few words. If you care about these things, you will lose your life.

The materials will be shipped back tomorrow, and Zhao Xiaotang is going to get rid of the old furniture and unused things at home.
Zhao Xiaotang took out a large ax that she had signed in before from the space. It weighed about ten kilograms and weighed it in her hand. It was small for her current strength. It would be very convenient for chopping wood and bones.
I moved the old wardrobe, washstand and two worn-out chairs out to the corridor, dismantled them all and chopped them into small pieces of similar size and length, which can be used to make fires in the future. very convenient,
The third aunt was very curious when she heard the noise in the house, and ran out without taking what she was doing.
"Oh, what are you doing? It's such a pity to chop them all down!"

The third aunt looked at the cabinet and thought it was pretty good. It was much newer than her own home anyway. There was also a washbasin stand. The two stools were a bit worn out, but she didn't want to chop them down and use them as firewood!
"It's too old. I don't want it anymore. The house has to be renovated. Why are you leaving all this junk there? Anyway, you have to use the same firewood."

He said nonchalantly about taking pictures, and struck down the stool with an ax and it instantly fell apart.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Tang, you want to make a fire anyway, so give me this wardrobe! I'll exchange it for you with my matches."

The third uncle at the back heard his wife's voice and ran out immediately. The abacus in his heart was rattling. When he came out, he saw that he was really wasting something, so he quickly stopped him.

"Hmm! The dry wood I have aged many years is very easy to use as a kindling, so I think I'd better forget it!"

It doesn't matter whether they change it or not. Zhao Xiaotang didn't think too much about it. He just didn't want them to feel that whatever they said was what they said. He thought he would listen to them.

"You can go and see that the firewood in my house is dry in the sun, and it is easy to start a fire. If you don't want to suffer a loss, we will calculate it by weight. How many pounds does your furniture weigh? I will replace it with how much firewood you need."

The third uncle came over and looked at the wardrobe and said, this wardrobe needs to be cleaned and repainted. It is new furniture. The stool has already been knocked apart. However, the third uncle looked at this washstand carefully and still shook his head. never mind,
"It's just a wardrobe change. Do you want a cupboard and a table with two bamboo chairs?"

"I know your cupboard is very heavy."

The third aunt interjected. At first, she wanted to carry the cupboard, but there was no one at home and she couldn't carry it alone. Later, she asked Mrs. Jia to carry it back.

"They all need it. I don't know how much it weighs without a big name, or how to change it into firewood."

"I remember there was an old pole weighing in the backyard of Old Liu's house, which was used to weigh pigs in the past."

The third aunt thought for a while and said, the third uncle glanced at her and said angrily:
"There are only poles left, and there are no weighing pans or lumps. What's the use?"

After the third uncle said this, the third aunt then remembered that when she donated the iron, it had been dismantled long ago, and she was in trouble for a while.

"No wonder there was a big name when I signed in this morning! Co-writing is because it is necessary!"

Zhao Xiaotang thought to himself, put down the ax in his hand and said:
"It just so happened that my classmate asked me to buy one for him. It hasn't been delivered yet. Let's take it and use it first and then send it back tomorrow!" He thought it was to explain the meaning of the nickname, and then went into the room. Taken out from the space, the weighing pole alone is one meter and a half long.
"Hey! Your scale is really big. How many pounds does it weigh?"

The third uncle had never seen such a big scale before and couldn't help but ask,
The shiny black weighing rod, every mark and point is so conspicuous, giving people a serious and heavy feeling.

"This can weigh up to 500 kilograms."

Zhao Xiaotang found a rope and a big stick and tied the cupboard with a rope. The third uncle asked his two sons to stand on a stool and carry it.
Fortunately, this scale has an instruction manual. One dot represents one pound. If you turn it over, it means one dot represents two pounds. It is still easy to recognize.

Zhao Xiaotang didn't expect that this cupboard weighed ninety-six pounds and forty taels, and he didn't know that it was made of wood and would be so heavy. The cupboard was less than two meters high and had a total of five floors. The wooden boards were mainly very thick.

The other cabinet, table and other items add up to more than 50 kilograms.

"Third uncle, are you done with it?"

"Okay, I've calculated that the total of a cupboard, a wardrobe, a table, a stool, and a chair is one forty-nine point a pound. I'll give you the same weight of firewood later."

"Yeah! But we just agreed to replace the firewood, so I won't give you the mirror on the wardrobe. I will dismantle it immediately and move all the cabinets back."

After Zhao Xiaotang finished speaking, he immediately prepared the vise from the window and stepped forward to remove the mirror on the wardrobe.
"Hey! We don't bring anything like this. We must replace everything! How can this mirror be counted separately?"

Not to mention the third aunt, even the third uncle was not happy. His two sons did not say a word. Anyway, his parents were in front of this kind of thing and would not let their family suffer.

"Forget it if you don't want to change it. Just pretend that we are curious about the weight and have nothing to play with anyway. Then I will move the cupboard home first."

Zhao Xiaotang said nonchalantly, the third uncle is no longer working. Seeing that the boss is almost old, it is time to find a partner. This is said very quickly. Furniture should be prepared early, even if it is cheaper to go to the flea market. I have to move back. All in all, it’s not as cheap as it is today.

"This won't work, absolutely won't work. How can this wardrobe be without a mirror? It's so dark and ugly."

"Can't you just buy another mirror to make up for it?"

"But pull it down! How much does such a big mirror cost? The key point is that it doesn't have such a big price! It's okay to say that small mirrors don't cost money, but such a big mirror won't work."

"How about I give you the mirror and you give me some compensation."

Zhao Xiaotang really doesn't like this mirror, mainly because he's not used to it. Now the mirrors are all printed with flowers. The mirrors on this wardrobe are both up and down. The upper left corner is a pine tree branch and the sun, and the lower right corner corresponds to several large peonies. flowers and a pair of magpies,
"How about I see that you really like eating chili peppers? If you have four kilograms of dried chili peppers at home, how about I give you an extra dollar?"

Zhao Xiaotang found it funny that the third uncle had a risk-taking expression, but he still nodded.
