One of the Memories of Old Objects-Wardrobe

Inscription: Perhaps because of the growth of age, every time I go back to my mother's house recently, I always look at something that accompanied us to grow up when I was a child, intentionally or unintentionally.

After lunch yesterday, I went to my old house. First of all, I saw this big wardrobe. In the early 1980s, this kind of wardrobe just became popular. At that time, grandpa had just retired and his salary was not high, but he still spent money to make two such wardrobes, one for his father and one for his uncle. Grandpa invited a carpenter named Sui, who is close to him in the southern neighboring village, to make it with his own fine pine, and invited a painter from the northern neighboring village to paint varnish. Dad said that the painter confiscated his salary, but took a bucket of engine oil and a homemade shotgun from his father. These two things were also hot and scarce at that time. (About shotguns later)

The most beautiful part of this wardrobe is the splicing of three rows of diamond-shaped triangular wood blocks under the glass. Completely hand-made, the size must be extremely standard. First, dig out the shape on the finished bottom wood, then cut the wood into diamond-shaped small triangles, and then stick them one by one, which is full of three-dimensional sense! Look at the degree of smoothness and delicacy, and you can see the superb skills of carpenters!

The most brilliant thing is dozens of dark fragments in sawdust. Speaking of which, here's another episode! Dad told me that the carpenter told grandpa that rosewood is the best! Grandpa found some ebony in the carpet factory in the town. The factory director is grandpa's good friend, and he asked my uncle to go by bike, but he was still late. These ebony trees were cut down and made into office furniture. What should I do? This friend saw that my uncle was in a hurry, so he pulled him out of the door. In desperation, he removed the horizontal switch on his foot under a table. Grandpa took it back. Grandpa couldn't take it at first sight, of course, but the carpenter said it had been torn down, so it was doomed to be separated from us. Carpenters play their best skills like treasures, carefully create these diamond-shaped triangular wood chips and attach them with great care, making this wardrobe very beautiful.

Secondly, on the left is stained glass. The pine branches and two cranes on the glass are hand-painted by carpenters, but you can see how much effort it takes by looking at the pine leaves and the feathers of the cranes. Needless to say, it really shows the skill of the master!

? The whole wardrobe was completely handmade, which was the most advanced beautiful and fashionable furniture at that time. Few families in the village have such furniture, and almost all of them are heavy wooden boxes, and all of them are arranged marriages by their parents! Writing this reminds me of grandma's and mom's dowry boxes, which are totally different! )

My sister and I lived with my grandmother until we went to college. In fact, this wardrobe has become my sister's and mine, and it is open and closed every day, so I have deep feelings for it. Later, in the 1990s, modular wardrobes became popular and my father bought a modular kitchen. Maybe it's because grandpa paid for this wardrobe. As the old saying goes, whoever spends money cherishes it, grandma always uses it until she moved upstairs from a bungalow a few years ago, and the wardrobe that accompanied us for more than 30 years stayed in the old house. But I still like to touch it every time I see it.

In fact, it is not only an attachment to the wardrobe, but also a deep attachment and infinite nostalgia for the past years!
