Chapter 275 Hesitation

"Ye Zi, can you tell me which room the wardrobe is in?"

"The weather is getting cold. Why don't you stay in the room with the kang first? But the space in that room is too small. I don't think this wardrobe can fit in it."

"You see that bed, right? I thought it looked pretty nice, so I didn't touch it. You can sleep on it when the weather gets warmer. It's more comfortable in the summer."

Chen Ye nodded: "I like that kind of bed too, it feels like a small house." She had only seen the introduction in videos before, and this was the first time she had the opportunity to sleep on it.

"Let's put everything in the main house for now. I'll move the furniture in after I finish the renovation. The city is too far from the village. It would be much more convenient to get some wood. I don't know if it's expensive to buy wood here."

"How about, my brother and I drive back. I know where you keep your wood tools and other things, and we'll bring them to you when the time comes." He didn't know whether they were expensive or not, but he knew they were difficult to buy, and even if he could buy them, he probably wouldn't get much.

"Are you planning to renovate several houses?"

"Well, these tasks are enough for me to do when I'm bored for the whole winter." She really didn't expect that she could find an activity to entertain herself as soon as she arrived.

"Then it seems I really have to go back to the village. After sending you to work tomorrow, I will go back with my brother. We need a permit to buy wood now. I can buy it in a specific amount, but the specific quantity is not enough."

"Is it too much trouble?" She was still used to trying not to bother others with anything.

"What's the trouble, Ye Zi? You just have to command us openly. You are the treasure of our old Cen family now. You have to be erect like a proud little rooster, understand?"

"Puchi," Chen Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why should I be a good person instead of a little rooster?"

"It's a metaphor, understand? It's better to be casual with your family. It's so uncomfortable to be too reserved. Ye Zi, you have to make yourself comfortable. Anyway, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Your family will definitely give in to you."

"I can't do that, but I can give you more instructions. Don't be unhappy when the time comes."

"That can't be. I'm your best fourth brother. The other three can't surpass me."

"By the way, where do you plan to put the firewood and other things? Feizi will have to bring people over in a while and put them directly where you specify."

Chen Ye glanced back at the palm-sized courtyard and immediately spotted the bicycle placed next to the only tree in the yard. "Is this the bicycle you bought me? I'll give you the price later."

This is a big item. It would be too much to ask my fourth brother, who doesn't make any money, to buy it for me.

"Well, what's the money? This bicycle was bought for you by my parents, your second uncle and second aunt, but it has nothing to do with me. I, your fourth brother, have a little money, but I can't bear to buy such an expensive thing."

Cen Zixiang has maintained the consumption concept of later generations very well. He wants to spend as much as he has in his pocket. Although he seems to have no shortage of money, he really doesn't have much savings.

"There are also new bedding and other things, all made by my aunt. It seems that they have been mailed over. Feizi should be able to bring them back later."

The nicer others are to her, the more nervous she becomes. What if they feel that she is not the type they like after meeting her, then there will be a look of disappointment in her eyes.

If that were really the case, she wouldn't be sad, but she would be somewhat disappointed, feeling that she shouldn't trust people's hearts too much.

Cen Zixiang shook his head. It seemed that his little sister had been daydreaming more and more recently, which showed how much the changes in her life had affected her.

Sighing, it's not Ye Zi's fault. In her previous life, Ye Zi lived a very depressed life. It can be said that Ye Zi lived her whole life like a blank sheet of paper. She had never come into contact with outsiders and had never seen the warmth and coldness of human nature.

His little sister's start in life was simply hellish. Growing up well might have taken up all her energy. Just when her life seemed to be on track, there was the variable of her relatives.

For Ye Zi, who has no expectations for family affection and is heartbroken, she must be very confused, not knowing what she will face next. Perhaps Ye Zi's assessment of human nature is different from his.

Having faced so much evil, it should be difficult for Ye Zi to believe in pure family love.

But Ye Zi is kind. You can tell from how she treats the old people who have helped her that she has a soft heart, but she has to put on armor to arm herself.

"Hey, are you two almost done?"

The sound of Gao Fei coming in and talking interrupted the two people's thoughts. They quickly came out of their thoughts and looked towards the door. When they saw Gao Fei's appearance, they almost laughed out loud.

Gao Fei, the young man with high spirits, was now like a moving package, with only his two feet and most of his face exposed, and the rest of the space was filled by the package.

Gao Fei was not angry: "You two have no conscience, why don't you come and help me."

Chen Ye went to help Gao Fei before Cen Zixiang. Fortunately, Gao Fei had been exercising continuously, otherwise he would not be able to carry so many things.

Cen Zixiang laughed and came over to help: "Are you stupid? You have so many things, why don't you borrow a cart? Aren't you tired of carrying them all back like this?"

"You think I don't want to? It's just that the road is too close. I can just walk a few steps back to get the package, so I don't have to go back to return the car."

"Ye Zi, you should go to the post office later. Take the remittance slip with you. You have to go in person. I can't pick it up with it. The post office here is quite strict. But if it's strict, it's easy for someone to claim the money you saved."

"Oh, okay, I'll go over after lunch." She was so hungry that she didn't want to go out.

"Where's Brother Cen? Did he go out to buy food?"

Cen Zixiang took the last package and almost dropped it. "Oh my god, this looks so small, how can it be so heavy?"

Gao Fei shook his sore hands and said, "How would I know? I don't have X-ray vision to see what's inside."

Chen Ye just happened to come out and heard this: "Just open it and you'll know."

“Then I really opened it.”

Cen Zixiang asked again politely, even though he had already gotten the hang of it when he asked the question. His favorite thing to do was to open packages. How many years had it been since he had been able to do that?

Chen Ye rolled his eyes to the sky. This guy became even more stupid after his true identity was exposed, just like what people in later generations often call a "Erha".

Gao Fei also hurried over to see what was inside. The small package was as heavy as a lump of iron. As the package was opened, the three of them saw the contents clearly, and all kinds of tools were revealed.
