Chapter 440
"Thank you for the candy, young man."
The old man felt that since he knew it, he should at least say thank you, otherwise it would seem very impolite.
"Uncle, you don't need to thank me. It was your little grandson who showed us the way just now. It's just a piece of candy. It's not worth your special thanks."
Zhao Shengrui felt that his wife was also capable of doing so. Seeing that the children were quite loving, he casually gave them a few candies, which were not very expensive.
Although there are places where children have no candy to eat all year round, this circle is different. I think the children in the upper villages here should be able to go fishing in the big lake. The conditions will definitely be better, and a piece of candy will not be rare.
After walking with Xiao Zhuzi for about five minutes, they arrived in front of a house with a wide-open gate. Xiao Zhuzi went straight into the yard and shouted into the house, "Grandpa Yang, are you home?"
Just as he finished speaking, an old voice came from inside, "I'm at home, why are you here, Xiao Zhuzi? Does your grandfather want to talk to me about something?"
"It's not that my grandfather wants to see you for something. He came to buy furniture from you. He doesn't know the way, so I'll show him the way."
Xiao Zhuzi felt that his mission was completed, and he didn't plan to stay here any longer. He wanted to go out and play. You know, his good friends have been waiting for him.
"Uncle, you can go back by yourself later. You won't get lost, right? I'm leaving now. You can discuss this with Grandpa Yang."
Xiao Zhuzi thought that since he was so young and didn't get lost, this old man shouldn't get lost either, right? He couldn't be dumber than himself.
When Zhao Shengrui heard him calling him uncle, he was confused for a moment. After all, his face looked quite young. He didn't expect that he was actually an uncle. However, when he thought about how young the child was, it seemed reasonable for him to call him uncle.
"Uncle Yang, I want to order a few pieces of furniture from you. Can you tell me how long it will take to make them? I'll bring them back myself when the time comes."
I discussed it with my wife yesterday and wrote down the missing furniture on a piece of paper. Now I handed the paper directly to Uncle Yang. As for why he said he would do it himself and didn't need them to send it, it was because he wanted to smuggle some of his own furniture in there, mix them together, and take them all back home.
The old man looked at the paper and saw furniture, wardrobe, kang cabinet, washstand... He was a little surprised why there were no boxes. After all, every household would have a few boxes to store things.
"Young man, have you just moved into a new house? You have all the other things, but why don't you need boxes? These are a must-have for every household."
Zhao Chenrui also knew that every household would prepare a few boxes, especially those with locks, to carry valuables. However, his wife gave him more than ten boxes, and he couldn't use them no matter how many there were. He even took out several screens. He thought it was because the bed could be seen when the door of the main room was opened, and a screen was just right to cover it.
"Uncle Yang, there are quite a few boxes at home. I'm not going to buy anything this time. How long will it take to make all the things on them? I can come over then."
Grandpa Yang looked at the things on the paper. It wasn't too much, just a little too many. After all, something like a wardrobe was necessary. He thought to himself, what size family must this be that they actually needed a wardrobe.
"There are still a lot of things. It will take at least a month to finish them. And it's impossible to finish them so quickly when so many people are working on them together. Come back and take a look in a month. It should be almost done by then. Even if it's not finished, there won't be much left. I'll send it to you then."
Grandpa Yang was very tempted by such a large order and was reluctant to let it slip through his fingers. At worst, he would work overtime at night and call his son and grandson to help with the work. He didn't believe that he couldn't finish it in a month.
Zhao Shengrui thought that one month was quite a long time, but there were indeed a lot of things. He would be staying here for a long time in the future, and all the things could be used, so he didn't worry about it.
"Okay, Uncle Yang, I'll come back in a month and pick up the furniture then. Can you calculate how much these things will cost?"
Just as he was about to ask the old man to calculate the price, Zhao Shengrui suddenly remembered that he only had a few dozen dollars on him. His wife said she wanted to buy furniture and seemed to have forgotten to give him some. Although he didn't have that much money, it was still enough for a deposit.
Uncle Yang slowly counted each piece of furniture. After all, there were quite a lot of things, including a wardrobe, a dressing table, and five...
"Young man, these things add up to 136 yuan. You can give me a deposit of 50 yuan first, and I will pay the rest when you come to pick up the furniture."
Uncle Yang takes deposits because he is afraid that when the product is finished, the owner may not want it. Then he would make so many products and not be able to sell them. If they are piled up there, he will lose money. Therefore, every time someone takes an order, he takes a deposit.
When Zhao Shengrui heard the old man say the number, she felt relieved, because her total worth was more than 60 yuan. Fortunately, it was enough to pay the deposit, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
I quickly counted out 50 yuan and handed it to Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang also wrote a separate note, saying that he could come to pick up the furniture with the note.
"Then sir, I'll leave first.
"Don't be so anxious, young man. Do you want to paint the furniture? You should have told me."
Uncle Yang looked at the anxious young man and shook his head. Although he only had a red paint, he could still use a tung oil varnish. He had to ask clearly to avoid making decisions on his own and making the owner unhappy!
Zhao Shengrui really hadn't thought about this aspect. After all, he had lived in so many houses and he didn't seem to have bought furniture by himself. He thought he could just buy ready-made furniture, and he couldn't just pick the color!
After much deliberation, Zhao Shengrui chose clear varnish as he was worried that red varnish would have an adverse effect on his body.
"Uncle Yang, please give me a layer of varnish, so that it won't rot so easily."
Uncle Yang nodded to indicate that he understood.
Now that the work here has been completed, Zhao Shengrui left Uncle Yang's house and hurried to his wife's place to save her from waiting so long and getting tired.
Tang Yue and her parents-in-law were waiting for Brother Sheng Rui at the brigade headquarters, looking at the pile of fish that used to be a lot, but now there were fewer and fewer. Of course, most of them were sold to the purchasing station, and the rest were sold to the villagers in the surrounding area and the family members of the troops.
The more Tang Yue looked at it, the more she thought this place was pretty good. Everyone had a happy look on their face. She knew at a glance that life here was not bad. She was indeed very lucky.
