After returning to the educated youth site, Su Qingxue asked Zhao Xiangyang directly, "Zhao Zhiqing, you don't have to go to work this afternoon, right?"

Zhao Xiangyang shook his head. "I asked for leave this afternoon. Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that the house is empty. Is there a carpenter in the village? I want to buy some things that can be used in the house."

Zhao Xiangyang thought it was a big deal, so he agreed to this small matter right away.

"Yes, the captain's brother is a carpenter in the village. His craftsmanship is pretty good. As long as you can name something, he can make it for you. He can even carve patterns on it. But carving patterns on furniture is not allowed nowadays, so the quality is still very solid."

"Yes, yes, Qingxue is right. Our house is empty. We need to buy things like dining tables, stools, washbasin racks, kang cabinets, kang tables, wooden barrels, etc."

"Since the captain's brother is so skilled, let's go together and buy them all at once."

"We don't have any in the house. Let's go together later."

Everyone else nodded in agreement with what Su Qingxue and Wang Xiaomei said. There was nothing in the house, so they would have to go buy some.

"Okay, wait till we put our things away, we'll be right there."

If we were faster, we would definitely be back before the team leader and the workers come over.

At this moment, Su Qingxue was thinking to herself that it seemed as if the three male educated youth who went to the countryside with her this time did not bring their mouths.

I won't speak until they are called.

All the words were said by myself, Wang Xiaomei and Feng Xue.

As for Du Keqing, she was just standing there awkwardly. No one knew what she was feeling awkward about, but she didn't say much anyway.

He put the food in the house, quickly locked the door and walked out with the others to the carpenter's house.

"You can just call him Carpenter Zhao later. I don't know his specific name, but we all call him Carpenter Zhao."

"Um. "

Su Qingxue looked at the watch on her hand. It was already four o'clock. She probably wouldn't be able to finish rounding the yard today.

"Let's go quickly. It's already 4pm. Let's hurry up and avoid being inconvenienced too late."

Carpenter Zhao's home is quite grand, with a row of brick and tile houses and a particularly large yard.

The wood is piled on one side, the various finished furniture is placed on the other side, and a thatched house is built on top, so there is no need to worry about them getting wet in the rain.

"Carpenter Zhao, Carpenter Zhao, is there anyone home?"

Zhao Xiangyang was already familiar with the place. He knocked on the door a few times and then shouted directly inside.

I'm used to living here, and I've learned to speak loudly like the people in the village.

Soon a voice came out from inside, "Who is it? Home!"

The door opened quickly. It turned out that he looked a bit like the captain. Maybe because he dealt with wood all day and didn't have to work in the fields, Captain Kobe looked much whiter.

"We are from the educated youth camp. There are new educated youth here today. There is nothing in the house, so I brought them to your place to buy furniture."

Carpenter Zhao had a slight smile on his face. It would be strange if he wasn't happy if someone came to buy something.

"Come in, go in and choose, and then we can talk about the price after you've made your choice."

After entering the yard, I saw that it was filled with various finished furniture.

There are all kinds of things that can be used in daily life, and it feels like there are more complete things than what I want to buy.

Su Qingxue felt that she was judging others by her own standards.

There was nothing in the educated youth site, but the team leader's younger brother was a carpenter, so he prepared everything in advance.

Whatever you want is already made and you can use it right away.

It was hard for Su Qingxue not to think too much.

Put this thought out of your mind and start choosing furniture with everyone else.

Su Qingxue picked up a mat and placed it on the kang to prevent the quilt from getting dirty. This was the most important thing.

A mat, a washbasin rack, two boxes, a kang table, a wooden barrel, a wooden pot cover, two large wooden basins, a small square table, a small stool, a pair of chopsticks, a cupboard, a cutting board, and a wardrobe.

I also saw some exquisitely woven drying mats and backpacks nearby, and thought they were very beautiful, so I bought a drying mat and two backpacks.

Su Qingxue felt that she had picked out enough things. If it was still not enough, she would wait until next time.

Anyway, it's so close to here, so if there's something missing, it won't be a problem to buy it next time.

"Carpenter Zhao, I want these things. Can you help me calculate how much they cost?"

When Carpenter Zhao saw what Su Qingxue picked, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The more things he picks, the more money he makes.

Although half of the income has to be handed over to the village, the remaining half is also profitable.

It only takes a little effort. There is plenty of timber on the mountain. As long as it doesn't cost money, it's a no-cost business for him.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll calculate it for you."

Then Su Qingxue saw him calculating bit by bit. Although his voice was very low, she could still hear it.

'The washbasin stand is two yuan, the box is two yuan and a half, the kang table is one yuan, the wooden barrel is fifty cents, two large wooden basins are one yuan, the small square table is two yuan, the cabinet is two yuan, the wardrobe is five yuan, the cutting board, chopsticks, and small stool are three yuan, the sun drying is a bit difficult to weave, so let's count them as three yuan, and the remaining two backpacks are not counted, anyway, they are not worth much, so the total is twenty yuan.'

I don’t know if I’m worried that I calculated it wrong.

After finishing the calculation, Carpenter Zhao calculated it twice more.

After confirming that it was correct, he said to Su Qingxue: "It's twenty yuan in total, and the two baskets are not included. I will also give you a vegetable basket. What do you think of this price?"

Su Qingxue thought that there were so many things and it was not expensive at only 20 yuan, not to mention that it also came with two backpacks and a vegetable basket, so she didn't say much and just nodded in agreement.

After paying the money, I glanced to the side and saw the cart in the corner.

"Can you lend me your stroller?"

Carpenter Zhao looked at Su Qingxue's petite figure and hesitated. "How about I ask my son to send it to you after he gets off work."

Su Qingxue felt that he looked down on people.

"No need, I can do it myself, there's no need to trouble your brother Zhao."

"Okay, if you can't push it, just push it a little bit at a time, or ask someone else to help you, but don't try to force it."

Su Qingxue nodded to indicate that she would not act stubbornly.

It was another day of envy for Su Qingxue. Others saw Su Qingxue putting things on the cart easily.

They tied it up with hemp rope and pushed it directly to the educated youth point. I was so envious.

Several male educated youth were also prepared to push the things themselves, but a few female educated youth were prepared to wait for Carpenter Zhao's son to come back and ask him to help deliver them.
