Seeing this, Lin Fang didn't know how to start the conversation. But Feng Qingqing said with a straight face.
"Miaomiao said she moved to a new house and asked Lin Fang and me to come over for dinner." Feng Qingqing specifically stated that she was only looking for her and Lin Fang.
Because of Xu Miaomiao's previous aggressive behavior, they were the only two people in the educated youth center who were relatively close to her.
After hearing this, the others knew what it meant and stopped making a fuss. Only Zhao Sumei, who was shameless, spoke up.
"She's only inviting the two of you? We're all comrades together, why is she so stingy?"
After hearing her words, several people showed expressions of agreement. They were all educated youth who came together, so why were they treated differently?
Feng Qingqing couldn't tolerate their bad habits. Anyway, she didn't have much friendship with these people.
"Stingy? If you're not stingy, why don't you offer to treat everyone to a meal?"
Zhao Sumei retorted confidently, "I haven't bought a house yet, but she has the money to buy one. What's wrong with treating everyone to a meal?"
Feng Qingqing was almost amused by her logic. "Hearing what you said, someone who didn't know would think you took the money she used to buy the house."
"What does it have to do with you if someone is rich? There are so many rich people in the world, do they all have to treat you to a meal? Aren't you afraid of dying of stuffiness?"
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. You got into a fight with someone and now you want them to treat you to a meal. Your skin must be thicker than the sole of a shoe, right?"
Zhao Sumei was choked and speechless, and she didn't dare to fight with her. She had to turn around and work unwillingly, muttering something to herself.
Xu Miaomiao bought a house!
I bought the best blue brick and tile house in the village!
Xu Aihong listened to the news, lowered her head, clenched her hands tighter and tighter, and her eyes turned red with hatred.
When I went to the countryside, it was hard to get even fifty yuan, and I wrote back asking for money but got no definite news. She spent hundreds of yuan to buy a house without blinking an eye.
We are both girls, why should she have everything she wants, while I try so hard to please Xu Jianshe, but get nothing!
She must be rich and make a lot of money, so that everyone will beg her for charity!
Xu Miaomiao talked to Chen Jianghe about it. There was nothing in the new house, and she wanted to treat people to a meal, so she took a few more days off.
Because she couldn't do much work herself, Chen Jianghe agreed very readily.
Going to town to buy groceries was actually just an excuse. She had everything in her space, so she could just take it out when the time came.
She insisted on going to town because of an idea she had when she stayed at Xie's house last night. Many of the things of the wealthy families in the past were sent to the scrap yard.
She could go to the scrap yard to see if she could buy some old furniture made of good materials, and maybe even pick up a bargain.
Because it was not market day, she had no ox cart to ride and had to walk to town.
Fortunately, she was in good physical condition and didn't feel too tired when she arrived in town.
The waste stood in a large deserted yard, with only an old man watching at the door.
Xu Miaomiao took two oranges from the space, handed them to him with a smile, and asked, "Uncle, I just got married and separated. I don't have much furniture at home and can't afford to buy new ones. Can I go in and pick out two pieces?"
In a scrap yard like this in a small place, there is basically no one in charge. As long as the gatekeeper agrees, you can go in and pick up things, and just give him some money when you come out.
The old man looked at the two juicy oranges and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. These were rare things, only available in the south.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Life is not easy for young people."
After getting the confirmation, Xu Miaomiao agreed in a crisp voice and walked into the yard.
Things in the yard were piled up in a mess, only roughly classified.
There was a pile of paper products like books and paintings, a pile of broken glass bottles, a pile of wooden items, and another pile of miscellaneous items.
Xu Miaomiao went straight to the pile of wood. After picking for a long time, she realized that she was naive.
The things sent here were all from the homes of people who were to be criticized and struggled against, and most of them were destroyed.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the redwood table that had been split in half, and she felt so distressed that she almost cried. This was furniture from the Ming Dynasty! It would be very valuable in the future.
After rummaging around for a long time, I finally found a wardrobe made of peach wood, a small kang cabinet, and a cupboard.
I was about to give up, but finally I found a tall round table in the corner. It looked a bit old, but the materials were very good.
The furniture is ready. Let’s take the chairs from the villa. The furniture in the villa is also retro in style and not out of place.
After choosing the furniture, she went to rummage through the mess to see if she could find a bargain or an antique.
It turned out that they were all imitations. Even if there were real ones, they were so badly made that they were unsightly. I had no choice but to give up.
When Xu Miaomiao was about to go out, she saw a set of wooden carvings of the twelve zodiac animals lying in a box.
She picked up two wooden sculptures and played with them in her hands. One of the sculptures was only the size of an adult's palm.
The material used was not of good quality. What caught her attention was that the wood carvings, which were obviously of similar size, had some differences in weight.
Although the difference was not big, she remembered the story that Grandpa Xu had told her before. If she really encountered it, she would be in big trouble.
She placed the zodiac set on the table she had chosen, and went to find the old man at the door to find out how much it cost, and also to ask him where she could find a car to take it back.
The old man followed her in and took a look at what she had chosen. They were all ordinary furniture, nothing impossible.
Xu Miaomiao watched the old man reach out to touch the zodiac wooden carving, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Would he be seen?
In the end, the old man just asked in confusion, "Why did you choose such a set of things?"
Seeing that he didn't suspect anything, Xu Miaomiao said casually, "It's a new house, there's nothing in it, take it back and decorate it."
The old man nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Finally, he helped her call a sports car driver in town.
Because he lived in the town, had no land, and had no proper job, he could only help others haul things to earn a hard-earned living.
Fortunately, Xu Miaomiao's stuff was not much and not heavy, so one person could send it back to her by pulling a flatbed cart.
Because everyone in the village was working in the fields at that time, Xu Miaomiao deliberately took people through another road so that they would not see them and avoid trouble.
Xu Miaomiao once again sighed that labor is really cheap nowadays. She helped move things up and down and walked such a long way, but in the end she only charged two dollars.
Xu Miaomiao wiped the newly bought furniture and then packed the clothes and other things.
Looking at the house, it finally looks like it can live normally with the addition of these pieces of furniture.
