Tiemao is an old carpenter in the village. She has been playing with saw axe adze chisel for life, and has gained a reputation of "reality".
Tiemao does carpenter work, skillful, meticulous and practical. The tables, chairs, benches, boxes, doors, windows, and car sheds he built are exquisitely crafted, well-organized, and solid. You can do it, and you can ensure that it will not be twisted or broken for many years.

At that time, the carpenter's time was calculated based on daily work. Some carpenters want to slip. When they see someone coming, they stop and smoke and drink water. They pick gourds and gourds and chew for a while. The cooked maw maw pots are all It was almost cold, and I was still grinding my teeth and whipping my mouth haha. The master saw it and was anxious, but it was difficult to talk to him in person. Tiemao never did this. She should say and do it. She said, her hands were not idle, her eyes were still on the carpenter, and she did not delay her work at all. "I'm afraid of being upside down. People are willing to take good care of their food and not lose money on their wages. If you are mean and work hard, are you considered an authentic person?" Tiemaoer didn't like such a person.
There is an band saw in Tiemao's carpenter's shop, which often removes wood and puts wood for people. Someone came to untire the wood. He always had to look at the wood from beginning to end, and first figured out what the wood is for, and then carefully calculated and saw a few five-centimeter-thick wooden boards. It is enough to make bed legs and table legs. The thickest thing left is enough to make boards. The wood that is untied in this way will be used for the best use and rarely throw away materials.

Tiemaoer's family has four brothers. He is the eldest, and the second and third brothers also learn carpenters from him, but none of them are as good as Tiemaoer's craftsmanship and are famous. Because there are many brothers, few farmers, and the house is broken, Iron Cat is thirty-three or four, and I haven't mentioned getting married yet.
One year, Lao Bai at the west end of the village died, leaving his wife Shuangying and a half-old child. The big-faced mother at the west end of the village, the old lady with a broken eye, found Tiemaoer one day and wanted to pinch them together. When I told Tiemaoer, Tiemaoer was quite willing and didn't bother me. Shuangying is several years older than him. She doesn't think Shuangying is ugly, nor does she think that the children are burdened. However, many people in the village complained about him, and later wrote a song, including the following sentences: "If you plant walnuts and don't make peaches, Shuangying shouldn't marry an iron cat. A big-faced mother, one eye , don't worry about Tiemaoer's affairs." Tiemaoer said unhappily and said a little unhappily: "The tank cannot be compared with the basin, and people cannot be compared with the human being. I am now, it's useless to say A woman, don't think that she has big feet. If you don't care about this, don't worry about that, always tell me to be a bachelor?"
Soon, Tiemao and Shuangying got married and moved to Shuang with a bunch of carpenters. The Ying family has a fully ready-made yard.
Tiemao has been a carpenter all his life, and his life with Shuangying is getting better and better. In the autumn of 2019, Tiemao got sick. Since then, I have been unable to recognize people and cannot live without people. Fortunately, the children in the front room, Shuangying and Tiemaoer later gave birth to them were all very filial. Tiemaoer ate well and dressed cleanly. There was never a single person in the room. The bedside table was full of people. It's delicious, and it's very caring for both inside and outside.

People in the village say that Tiemao's life is real, and she doesn't cheat or lose her worries. She is not in vain. When she gets old, she finally ends up well.
