Chapter 75 A Truckload of Furniture

When Lin Qingqing and her friend arrived home, they brought all the dishes to the kitchen.

Xiaomei fetched some water and washed her hands with Lin Qingqing, then went to the kitchen to knead the dough. They were going to steam two pots of steamed buns in the afternoon and eat them in the evening.

Lin Qingqing took out two apples to wash. Today, she saw apples for sale in the town of Ding, at 42 cents per pound, so she bought three pounds.

She took a washed apple to the kitchen and placed it on a small cutting board.

"Xiaomei, remember to eat this apple when you're done."

She was afraid that Xiaomei would feel embarrassed to eat it, so she washed one herself and gave it to her.

Xiaomei was cheerful, clear about what she liked and disliked, and not someone who took advantage of others. These past few days, she'd been serving herself only the rice from the hot pot, never eating any vegetables or meat. It was only when Lin Qingqing placed food in her bowl that she felt embarrassed to eat.

Lin Qingqing still likes this cousin who is not fussy and quick-witted, and who doesn't need to do things one by one.

She sat under the arbour, resting and eating an apple. The apple was a bit dry and not as crispy and sweet as the ones in the space cafeteria.

At this time, a military truck carrying a full truck of furniture drove into the family compound. The first person to see the military truck was my sister-in-law, and her eyes widened.

"Oh my god, this is a whole truckload of furniture. Look at it."

The sisters-in-law were attracted by the sound and looked at the military truck driving in.

In an instant, more than a dozen sisters-in-law were excited. They all stood up and stretched their necks to look at the car.

"It's true. Do you know whose house this is? Look, that's a big wardrobe with double doors, right? And there's a bookcase with glass doors that I've never seen before. There must be seven or eight pieces of furniture. You can't get them without three hundred yuan." My sister-in-law exclaimed repeatedly.

My sister-in-law next to me rolled her eyes and said, "Three hundred is not enough. It should cost at least 100. I've seen that big double-door wardrobe in the county town. It costs 120." She stretched out two fingers as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, and that glass-enclosed bookcase is also over a hundred dollars."

Under the pine trees, the women were chattering about the furniture on the military truck. As they watched the truck drive away, one of them called out, "Hey, follow him and see whose house he's delivering the furniture to."

The sisters-in-law stayed in the military family compound every day, and all the fun was in the compound. With such a big party going on, they had to rush in to join in the fun.

A dozen sisters-in-law seemed to have received some call, and they all rushed out and ran towards the military truck.

They wanted to see who would be willing to spend hundreds of dollars to make furniture. Seeing the truck filled with furniture, they were extremely curious.

When they first came to the compound, they were also short of furniture, so they bought them one by one. There was no way they would buy seven or eight pieces at once like this.

Some sisters-in-law are jealous: "Oh my~ Whose daughter-in-law is such a spendthrift? She even has two desks and doesn't know how to live at all."

My sister-in-law, who was following behind the car, nodded in agreement, but her eyes were full of envy.

The military truck drove further and further into the innermost part of the family compound, and more and more sisters-in-law followed behind the car, watching the car drive into the area of the private courtyard.

Some people wondered: "Is the chief going to replace the furniture in his house?" Otherwise, who would dare to be so high-profile?

As expected, the military truck slowly stopped at the second to last house in the first row, watched by the sisters-in-law.

"Isn't this Team Leader Song's home?" a sister-in-law blurted out.

Sure enough, three people got out of the car, they were Song Yiyuan, Zou Feng and Zhou Lie.

Zhou Lie was shocked when he saw more than a dozen sisters-in-law surrounding him.

"Are you here, sisters-in-law, to see us unloading the furniture?" He grinned and joked, showing his big white teeth.

The sisters-in-law stared at the furniture in the car with shining eyes. One anxious sister-in-law directly pulled Zhou Lie's arm and asked, "Is this furniture all made by Team Leader Song's family?"
