Wu Yurui is a carpenter. coincided with Zeng Guofan's construction of a new house and needed to be painted, and the housekeeper and Wu Yurui were fellow villagers, so Wu Yurui was arranged to make furniture. A month later, the furniture was repaired, but Wu Yurui accidentally damaged the paint surface of the table and scratched several scratches on the table.
The scratch is not deep, in the lower part of the corner of the table, you can't see it at all if you don't look closely, but Wu Yurui is very serious, cut off the scratch with a knife, and adjusted some paint to make up for it. After waiting for the air to dry, Wu Yurui felt that the color of the newly added paint was different from the original desktop color, so he spent more than half a month repainting the desktop. At this time, Wu Yurui found that there was a color difference between the newly painted table top and the adjacent table legs, so he told the housekeeper about it, and then removed the original paint and repainted all the tabletops. Because of the one-month delay in construction, Wu Yurui did not ask for wages.
Zeng Guofan was very satisfied after acceptance and wanted to reward Wu Yurui with money, but Wu Yurui resolutely did not want it and was very ashamed. The housekeeper told Zeng Guofan about the cause and effect, but Zeng Guofan was very happy: "This shows that you can control yourself and be a good seedling!."He accepted Wu Yurui as a subordinate, invested in training him, and had high hopes for him. After that, Wu Yurui became a cadre of regimental training and became Zeng Guofan's right-hand man.
