Chen Liang took the things and put them in the yard without changing his expression, then said to Song Jin: "Song Zhiqing, go get your things first, I'll help you clean here." Then he picked up a big broom and started cleaning.
Song Jin's refusal was withdrawn by the flying dust.
After leaving the house with the captain, the captain opened his mouth several times before finally comforting Song Jin: "Don't feel pressured. San'er might be trying to make a buck from you. Don't be polite, just order him around."
Song Jin nodded and said, "I know," but he rolled his eyes in his heart.
What do you mean by making money? I think he just wants to pursue me.
This little thought, huh, has nothing to hide in front of me.
When Song Jin returned to the educated youth center, she saw everyone walking out. She didn't know anyone and went straight into the room without saying hello.
Wang Xiaohui had already spread out her quilt and fallen asleep, and her suitcase was still there. There was nothing else to pack, so Song Jin simply picked it up and left.
I didn't meet anyone else along the way; everyone went to work.
When I returned to the house, the yard had already been cleaned. I heard a sound coming from the room on the right. When I went in, I saw that Chen Liang had already swept the floor and was lying there wiping the mat on the kang.
Song Jin was about to help when Chen Liang stopped him, saying, "Song Zhiqing, I'll be done soon. Go and see which room you'll live in. The two rooms are the same size, but this one is close to the vegetable patch. If you grow vegetables there, there might be mosquitoes in the summer. I suggest you live in that room."
Song Jin looked at the dusty Chen Liang, listened to his mumbling, and looked at his face carefully. Well, he was indeed quite handsome.
Chen Liang's heart tightened when he saw her scrutinizing him. Before he could ask anything, Song Jin went out directly, saying, "I'll go check the kitchen."
Chen Liang quickly lowered his head and started working, as there were still two rooms that had not been cleaned.
A few minutes later, two young men of about seventeen or eighteen years old came in, brought by an aunt who always smiled at everyone she saw.
The auntie walked over from a distance and said, "This must be Song Zhiqing, she's really pretty. I fell asleep at noon and didn't come out to see you, please don't mind. I was just wondering where my idiot is. You've been here for a long time and I didn't even get you a glass of water."
Song Jin had already heard the identity of the visitor from the words: Chen Liang's mother, the captain's wife.
"Aunt, you're so kind. Captain, you've already done me a great favor by helping me find a place to live. Comrade Chen Liang is also here to help me clean up. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take me to do it by myself."
The captain's wife's smile became even more sincere: "Don't be polite, just call me Aunt Chen from now on. I'll bring these two young men to clean up the stove and the courtyard wall for you."
As he directed them to get to work, he rolled up his sleeves and started looking for work.
With their help, the house was almost cleaned up by four o'clock, and Aunt Chen took Song Jin to the carpenter's house in the village.
I chose a large wardrobe, two tables, a desk, a dining table, five chairs, two wooden basins, a kang cabinet, two kang tables, and a bathtub in his house.
She only paid ten dollars for so many pieces of furniture, and they even delivered them to her door. Song Jin said it was a good deal and she really wanted to recommend it to others.
It's just something I can only think about.
By 5:30 in the afternoon, all the furniture had been moved in and placed, and the whole house looked brand new.
Aunt Chen saw that there was nothing in the kitchen and knew that Song Jin couldn't cook tonight, so she invited her to dinner at her home.
Of course Song Jin refused. There was not much food at home these days. She would feel embarrassed to prepare food for her and add burden to their family. If she didn't prepare food, she would be inviting others over and she didn't want to cause trouble for others.
After politely declining, he gave each of them one dollar. Of course, Chen Liang and Aunt Chen refused to accept it, but they couldn't resist Song Jin's good talk.
Relationships are built through interaction. If you treat me well, I can't let you give in vain. There's give and take, blah blah.
Aunt Chen took care of it, and Chen Liang was waiting for her to talk to him more, but she rejected him with a sentence, "If you don't accept it, don't help me in the future."
The mother and son went out, turned left and went home.
Although he failed to let Song Jin have dinner at his house, he still asked Chen Liang to send over a bowl of fried cabbage with two steamed buns on top for dinner.
Of course, Chen Liang fought for the job of running errands.
