After lunch, Section Chief Li called Lin Siya to his office.

"Xiao Lin, the boss is very satisfied with your design drafts. You can start drawing this afternoon. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to ask."

Lin Siya was very happy to hear what Section Chief Li said, but then she thought of another question.

"Chief, there aren't any difficulties, but there's one problem. These pictures are all in color. I wonder if our factory has any colored paints. And for the design of the blackboard newspaper, the best thing to use is colored chalk. I don't think our factory has any colored chalk, right?"

"Don't worry about that. Our factory will provide you with colored pigments. As for colored chalks, we really don't have any in the factory. I'll have someone ask around later."

After hearing what Section Chief Li said, Lin Siya felt relieved.

"The Friendship Store in the provincial capital should have colored paints, but I don't know if they have colored chalks."

"Well, it just so happens that some people from our factory are going on a business trip to the textile factory in the provincial capital this afternoon. I asked them to go over there and take a look."

"That's great!"

After coming out of Section Chief Li’s office, Lin Siya told Ji Qingqing the good news.

"Siya, that's great, but what can I do? I don't even know how to draw."

"It's okay. There must be work for you. With so many paintings, I don't know how long it will take me to finish them all by myself. I just need your help."

"Yeah, if you can use me, just let me know."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite to you."

"Then let's go now."

Lin Siya thought about it and realized that although there were no colored paints now, she could make a draft first, and when the paints arrived, it would be faster to color them.

The two men put on their own equipment and came to the white walls to be painted. There were three white walls in total, plus the blackboard newspaper. To be honest, the workload was quite large, after all, these three white walls were very large.

"What should we do first?" Ji Qingqing asked, looking at the white wall.

Lin Siya first looked at the three walls. They were simply painted with a layer of white paint, which was not uniform.

"Let's paint the wall white first, trying to make it smooth and even. This will make it easier to paint later."

"Okay, let's get started!"

The two of them rolled up their sleeves and started working again. Painting once didn't work, so they painted the three walls twice. When they were dry tomorrow, they could paint on them as much as they wanted.

After painting the wall, the two men came to the blackboard to wipe off all the original content on the blackboard. After wiping off the chalk notes on it, the two men took a bucket of clean water and wiped it carefully several times with a rag until it was clean.

"Siya, I only saw your drawing on this bulletin board. What should I do with the content?"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of the content."

"Wow, Siya, you are really amazing." Ji Qingqing felt that compared with Lin Siya, she was simply a useless waste.

However, even though she is a useless person, she still has a good mentality. She has never been jealous of people who are better than herself. Instead, she admires them very much.

In just two days of following Lin Siya, she has learned a lot.

After the two of them finished these tasks, it was time to get off work. Lin Siya did not stay in the office, let alone work overtime. At this time, everyone came to work on time and left on time, so it was impossible for her to be an exception.

As soon as I walked out of the textile factory, I saw a familiar figure.

"Why are you here?" Lin Siya felt a little strange. Didn't this person say in the morning that he would not come today because of something? Why is he here now?

"I'm here to pick you up from get off work, and I'd like to ask you for a favor." Fu Sinian said mysteriously.

"Oh, what's the favor?"

"The factory assigned me a house. I went to clean it today and found that there was nothing in it. So I wanted to ask you to give me some advice on what I need to buy for my home."

Fu Sinian said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, that place might be their home in the future, and the furnishings in the house would of course need to take into account the preferences of the hostess.

Lin Siya had no idea what Fu Sinian was thinking. When she heard that the machinery factory had directly allocated him an apartment, she didn't even want to say anything about her envy. It turned out that talented people were always welcome wherever they went.

"Okay, I'll go check it out for you."

"Let's go eat first, and then go watch it after dinner."

Lin Siya thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The two of them went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a few of their favorite dishes. After eating, Lin Siya got on Fu Sinian's bicycle.

After riding for about ten minutes, the two men stopped in a small courtyard.

Fu Sinian parked his bicycle, took out a key and opened the door.

This is a fairly new courtyard, and it looks like it was built not long ago.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, everything inside is clear at a glance.

On the left is a small vegetable patch, where some onions, garlic and other vegetables are planted. Maybe because it is winter, there are no other vegetables.

The right side is paved with bluestone slabs, and there is a well in the middle of the yard. The overall look is very clean and refreshing.

The houses are all built with blue bricks, they look quite new, and the internal structures are also very complete.

There are two sleeping rooms, a main room, a kitchen, a storage room, as well as a complete bathroom and toilet. This house is better than the one she lives in now.

"Your house is nice! It looks new, it must have been built not long ago."

"Yes, this house originally belonged to an engineer from the machinery factory. A few years ago, they demolished the old house and rebuilt it. They originally wanted it to be for his parents to live in, but the engineer was transferred to the provincial capital a while ago. Since both adults in the family had to work, there was no one to take care of the children, so his parents also moved to the provincial capital. The machinery factory bought the house, and now it's been given to me."

Lin Siya was envious again. Such a nice house could be sold for at least 800 yuan even in their small town. Even if it was rented to Fu Sinian, it would probably earn more than 10 to 20 yuan a month. She didn't expect that it would be given directly to him now. People are really incomparable.

The house is very nice, but when the original owner left, he took away all the furniture and pots and pans. Now the house is just an empty shell, and I really need to buy a lot of things.

"You don't have any furniture in this house. You need to buy everything, including pots, pans, and other utensils. Do you have any bedding?"

"We have bedding. The factory gave us a set before. You don't need to buy this."

"Do you have furniture tickets?"

"No."

"Okay, then let's go straight to the Friendship Store and see if there are any second-hand ones."

"Okay, you're familiar with this place, I'll do as you say."

The two of them rode their bikes together and went straight to the trust store.
