In the end, Shen Lingling and Tian and the other two ordered four dishes, and the table was filled with them.
She and Tian Tian had another meal together, and packed up all the leftovers for Aunt Xiao to send back home.
The two of them then walked home together. It was already quite late when they finished their meal. Although it was not yet dark, the shuttle bus had already stopped.
They were worried that they would go back too late and it would be dark before they got home. It was winter now. Walking at night was not a good idea, especially for the two girls.
Fortunately, Tian Lisong and Shen Lingling's father saw that it was too late and they hadn't come back yet, so they took flashlights and headed towards the county town to meet them. The two groups happened to run into each other and went home together.
Now that the house had been rented, it needed to be cleaned up. Before Shen Lingling told her parents, she took Tian Tian and Tian Yun, two people who had nothing to do at home, to the county town to help her clean up the house.
Fortunately, the landlord had just moved out not long ago, so there was nothing to clean up. There was just no furniture at all, it looked a bit empty and dusty.
The three of them were all used to hard work, and they cleaned the house in just one day.
After finishing the work, Tian Yun finally had the energy to look at the house. "You two are really doing great things quietly. You actually rented the house without making any noise."
"I didn't rent this house. I just came here to accompany Lingling to look at houses. Lingling paid for the rent alone." Tian Tian explained.
"That's pretty impressive. Not everyone has the courage to rent a house by themselves and pay the rent every month," Tian Yun said with emotion.
For example, she would never dare to rent a house outside. Although her school would give her money, she would always save some money for emergencies.
"I am forced to do this. There is no other way. There are more and more people selling chestnuts in the county. If I don't sell more frequently, there will be spring planting after winter, and I will be busy until April or May. Who will remember me by then? All the old customers I have accumulated with great difficulty will run away." Shen Lingling said helplessly. Isn't she afraid to take a break? Otherwise, who would want to be so tired after a year of hard work?
"Okay, if you need any help, just come to us. We have nothing to do at home in the winter anyway. But you have to take care of the wages. We are on vacation now and have no money to spend." Tian Yun said.
"Don't worry, how can I let you two work for me for free? I will definitely pay you well." Shen Lingling was very happy to see the clean house. She also wanted more people to come and help her.
Shen Lingling originally mobilized everyone in the team to help her pick chestnuts.
A pound of chestnuts sells for a certain price, and sure enough, many people go up the mountain to pick chestnuts after work.
Finally, their family had a warehouse full of chestnuts. Now Shen Lingling didn't want to make herself so tired, so she could sell them by herself at the cinema, and let Tian Yun and Tian Tiantian sell chestnuts in two parks or at the bus stop. By acting separately, they could sell more and earn more.
Moreover, Tian Lili had done a good job helping out at her house before. She was diligent and not picky, and she got along well with her family. After Tian Liang recovered from his illness, Shen Lingling planned to let Tian Lili come over to help.
There was a big stove in their house, but there was a big hole on it. There was no pot on it, so there was no way to burn anything, let alone use the stove to heat the kang. So it was impossible to live in the house. After they finished cleaning up, they went home while it was still light.
A week later, Shen Lingling received a letter from Fang Siwen. In the letter were tickets for iron pots, industrial tickets, tickets for buying stoves, and a remittance slip, which was used to buy the stove and iron pot for Shen Lingling.
When Tian Tian saw the things sent by Fang Siwen, she thought Fang Siwen was quite thoughtful. She even specially exchanged all the iron pot tickets and industrial tickets for tickets that could be used in their county.
Fang Siwen was either out of town or in the capital, so he didn't know how much effort it took to exchange these bills.
After Shen Lingling got the receipt and money, she immediately ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.
After buying the iron pot and iron stove, I sent them to the rented house in the county town.
He took the coal ticket to the coal factory and bought a lot of coal to store at home. He also bought a big bag of coal slag and made some coal cakes.
Then she hired an ox cart from the brigade to transport all the chestnuts from her warehouse to her home in the county town.
Only then did Shen Lingling's parents discover that Shen Lingling had actually rented a house in the county town.
The two of them immediately flew into a rage, blaming Shen Lingling for spending money recklessly and not discussing such a big thing as renting a house with them. They felt that Shen Lingling had no reason to rent a house. She didn't make much money a month, and she had just received the money and hadn't done anything yet, but she had already paid out a sum of rent. The money she earned was not enough for her to spend.
People nowadays are like this. They are reluctant to spend the money they earn in their lifetime, and feel bad when they spend even a dime or two.
Now they heard that Shen Lingling spent such a large sum of money to rent a house in the county town. They felt as if their hearts were dug out.
Shen Lingling's mother felt that although Shen Lingling had grown up and was married, she was still careless, did not know how to work, and did not know how to live. She spent money lavishly and rented a house whenever she wanted.
Shen Lingling felt that her mother's thinking was too old-fashioned. It was not like she didn't need to rent a house. She would use it every day, and she could earn the money back quickly. Everyone didn't have to work so hard and carry chestnuts on their backs to the county town every day.
This is clearly a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, but in Shen Lingling's mother's opinion, it is wrong for you to spend money.
Fortunately, the house had already been rented. Even if Shen Lingling's mother was no longer happy, she just complained a few words and did not force Shen Lingling to cancel the lease.
Everything is ready at Shen Lingling's place, and the three sisters Tian Tian, Tian Yun and Tian Lili also go there to help every day.
Shen Lingling got a wheelbarrow from somewhere, but every day she would put the iron stove, a small teapot for cooking chestnuts, coal and firewood for the stove, and chestnuts on the wheelbarrow and push it to the cinema, where she would cook and sell them.
