My mother-in-law said, I don't want a new house at home. I should pack the bathroom and kitchen and take my wardrobe away. My clothes are covered with cotton. The writing desk, bed, cabinet and square table in the living room, four long wooden benches and incense sticks in the bedroom (in my hometown) are all made of solid wood. My mother-in-law said that at that time, it was extremely difficult to make these furniture at home. All the big locust trees in front of and behind the house were cut down, and the carpenter lived alone in the village for more than a month (other people in the village also played furniture and were busy from door to door for more than a month, which was very lively. ), just the one in the living room, which was very popular at that time. Purple paint is about 80 centimeters wide and more than two meters long! (Of course, the figures are inaccurate, probably by visual inspection. ) There are log baffles on both sides of the desk, a small cabinet at both ends below, patterns under the middle desktop, four legs, antique, dignified and atmospheric, very beautiful and practical. The Putonghua used in Ji Xiang now is furniture such as long tables, desks and coffee tables!

I thought of the old cabinet in front of the hall in my hometown, which is similar to Jixiang's furniture. It is not as beautiful as Ji Xiang, but it is more stable, practical and broad than Ji Xiang. It's all made of solid wood. There are two integral cabinets, which can be used as a large-capacity, moisturizing, clean and safe harvest grain storage cabinet. There are incense burners, tributes, decorations, ink, paper and inkstone, tea set snacks ... simple and convenient, just the right amount.

I remember that when I was working in front of this grandfather's cabinet, my father made a special trip from Nanjing to his hometown, invited my third uncle to his home, and invited some strong laborers from the village, all of whom were venerable old uncles. It took two or three days to cut down several willow trees in front of the house with saws and axes, and then a row of uncles and uncles joined forces to drag several willow trees into the ditch behind the house with hemp ropes and soaked them for more than half a year. The scene is like the slogan of the Volga river, hey, hey, hey, it is still fresh in my memory, and then the wood was dragged ashore and weathered and dried for several months before it was carefully made. It's real. There's nothing false about it.

So my mother-in-law has real feelings for these possessions. They went through ups and downs together and experienced that difficult special time. It also contains the precious memories of my father-in-law and their love testimony. It is the meaning that a family can't give up, and it is the support belief for the future.
