"I've already sent a few people to clear the debris this morning. Bricks have already been collected from every household. Other materials have been ordered, and the kang builders have also been booked. Don't worry, you'll be able to move into your new house in ten days at most."
"Of course I trust you to do the job. Oh, by the way, there's one thing I forgot to tell you yesterday. The well in the yard is dry. Do you know where to find someone to dig it?"
Captain Liu smiled and said, "That's easy. My cousin's husband specializes in digging wells for people. He's in Guizi Village. I'll send him a message, and he'll come over with his tools and men when he's free. The well in your yard will be easy to dig without any trouble."
Speaking of the well, Captain Liu asked again: "What will you do with the water these days? Do you have buckets and water tanks for carrying water? If not, come to my house and get some." His family didn't have extra water, but they could use it at different times.
Song Yun thanked him first, then told him her plans. "I'm not going to work this afternoon, so I plan to buy buckets and a jar. It's a lot of stuff to buy. We don't have any pots, pans, or anything at home. We're short of tables, chairs, beds, and stools."
Captain Liu saw that she was smiling as she spoke, not even slightly worried, and knew she was still quite well off. He said, "Indeed, if you want to live on your own, you'll need a lot of things. Carpenter Liu in our village has pre-made buckets, and you can also order other woodworking furniture from him. You don't have to go to town to buy water jars. There's a family in the next village who makes them, and they have plenty of jars, pots, and urns. The price is not much cheaper than the supply and marketing store, and you don't even need a ticket. If you want to go, I'll have someone go to the cowshed and call Old Zhang. He'll drive you there in a bullock cart, and you can just give him the fare."
Song Yun's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "Mr. Wang, I'll buy these two things today. I'll go to the cowshed and call for help later. You don't have to bother anyone else. I'm free at the moment."
Captain Liu thought that she lived in a deserted yard close to the cowshed, so he didn't say much and just let her go.
After saying goodbye to Captain Liu Fangfang, Song Yun hurried back to the deserted yard, and quickly cooked a full pot of noodles. She and Song Ziyi each ate a bowl, picked up the rest, went out through the back door, and quietly went to Xiangyangpo.
It was dinner time and the sun was shining brightly. No one was wandering around outside, and everything went smoothly. However, when they arrived outside the cowshed, they happened to meet a middle-aged woman who was pouring water with a basin. The middle-aged woman had a gloomy face. She looked at Song Yun warily, frowned, glanced at the pottery jar in Song Yun's hand, and turned back to her own shed.
Song Yun was glad that she didn't ask Song Ziyi to come along, otherwise it would definitely arouse more suspicion.
She walked into the small courtyard in front of the shed, carrying the pottery jar and calling out, "Uncle Zhang, are you there?"
After shouting three times, a lame old man wearing a navy blue coarse cloth jacket came out. The old man was about sixty years old and in good spirits. His eyes were bright when he looked at people. His hair was a little messy, and his jacket was covered with many patches of different sizes, but it was still clean.
"My daughter is looking for me?" The old man looked at the pretty girl in front of him and felt that she looked familiar.
Song Yun knew her face bore a striking resemblance to Bai Qingxia's from the Cowshed, and sooner or later someone would notice. But she didn't care. As long as she denied it, who could do anything to her? Whether it was household registration or past relationships, she had no official connection to the Song Hao couple. As for whether they were biological children or not, they had sent her down without even acknowledging her relationship. Even if they were to punish her, it wouldn't affect her. Besides, while the situation was a bit chaotic, it wasn't to the point of punishing her entire clan.
At most people would gossip about her, but she didn't care about that.
"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Liu asked me to come over. I have to go to the next village to buy a water tank this afternoon. Would it be convenient for you to drive a bullock cart to take me there?" Song Yun asked with a smile.
Uncle Zhang nodded. "Yes! I don't have anything to do this afternoon. I'll pull the cart to the village entrance and wait for you."
Song Yun thanked him repeatedly and asked him if he had eaten. She brought some porridge.
Uncle Zhang was too embarrassed to eat the little girl's food, so he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, I've already prepared the meal, you can go back and eat it."
After Uncle Zhang finished speaking, he turned around and went to the kitchen at the back.
When Song Yun saw that Uncle Zhang had left, she immediately ran towards her parents' shed.
