After everyone bought the furniture, they went back to their own rooms to tidy up. He Gang helped Bai Guoguo move her things into her room one by one.
"Bai Zhiqing, don't bother with where these pieces of furniture should be placed. Just point them out to me."
He Gang quickly unloaded Bai Guoguo's furniture from the cart and asked where to put it.
"The kang cabinet is placed at the end of the kang, the dressing table is placed in the corner of the inner room, and the eight-immortal table is placed in the outer room.
I put the cabinets in the outer room, put the wash basin rack in the corner, and moved the small kang table myself. I can also move these benches myself."
Bai Guoguo opened her little mouth and arranged the furniture in a snap.
Fortunately, Uncle Zhao was diligent and brought his apprentices to make a lot of furniture at home.
Now that we have it ready, it saves us a lot of trouble. But it’s hard work for Brother He. I’ve caused him a lot of trouble all day today.
"Brother He, why don't you have dinner at my place tonight? I don't have any food here, so I need you to take me to exchange some."
Bai Guoguo said as he was moving things.
She thought that she had troubled everyone so much today, it would be unreasonable not to treat them to a meal, so she just had to get some food first.
"You just arrived today and there's still a lot to do. If you want to treat me to a meal, wait until you're settled in. After you get the furniture, I'll take you to the brigade office to get food."
He Gang answered while working. He was tall, had long legs, a strong body and great strength. He quickly put all of Bai Guoguo's furniture in place.
"That won't delay dinner. I have to cook anyway, and I've bought all the seasonings. I even have some bacon and sausage in my bag. I'll make you some bacon rice when the time comes."
Bai Guoguo was using a new towel as a rag to wipe the dust off the furniture that He Gang had moved in, which made He Gang's mouth twitch.
He thought that he should buy a few new towels and a few new pairs of socks when he got home. The rag the girl used to wipe the table was cleaner than the towel he used to wash his face.
What if a little girl sees me and thinks I’m dirty?
Although he was a soldier before and kept his room neat and tidy, a stinky man could not compare with a young girl after all.
Take the towel for example. No matter how much you wash it with soap, it will still turn yellow. Unlike the girl, even her tablecloth is snow-white.
While thinking about all these things, He Gang finished the work swiftly and even fetched two buckets of water from the well for the little girl.
This pair of wooden buckets was also made by carpenter Uncle Zhao. They are old styles and have an antique charm. Bai Guoguo fell in love with them at first sight.
Maybe because she had filmed a series of videos on intangible cultural heritage before, she particularly likes the things made by these old craftsmen, whether they are simple and elegant or exquisite and gorgeous.
These are the wisdom treasures left by our ancestors and cannot be discarded at will. If our descendants want to understand them, they can only see a few words of description in history books.
If I have the opportunity in this life, I will still explore more folk intangible cultural heritage. It would be better if it could be integrated with economy, culture and inheritance and developed.
After all, no matter how good a craftsman is, he cannot just work for love. Only by exploring the market and the economic value can the intangible cultural heritage be better spread, preserved and passed on.
Bai Guoguo and He Gang were each thinking about their own things, and the room was quiet for a while.
In the end, it was Bai Guoguo who came to his senses first and broke the silence.
"Okay, the dust is all wiped off. Brother He, didn't you say you would take me to get food? Let's go, and call the others as well."
Bai Guoguo's voice brought He Gang back to his senses instantly. Although he felt sorry that he couldn't spend more time alone with the little girl, he still nodded in agreement.
After all, this was the task assigned to him by his uncle, and besides, he couldn't let the newly arrived educated youth go hungry!
So He Gang dragged Uncle Zhao's trailer and took Bai Guoguo to the front yard, and also called Wang Qiuyu from next door.
They had to return Uncle Zhao's car first and then go to collect the food.
When they heard that they were going to collect food, Yang Xiaoyong and Li Dongyang, who were already slumped on the kang, suddenly became alert and walked out immediately.
Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you will feel hungry. Therefore, it is very important to get food!
So the three people, whose backs and waists were sore from arranging the furniture, still tried their best to keep up with He Gang's pace, and each took a cloth bag to go to the brigade office to collect rations.
It was Bai Guoguo who bought the most things. Because he had the help of the big man He Gang, his physical energy consumption was the least.
Now he still has the energy to jump around He Gang's big trailer, chattering about some things going on at work in the team.
This scene made Li Dongyang and Wang Qiuyu very angry. Li Dongyang secretly hated Bai Guoguo for ignoring him but being so close to the team leader named He. He cursed her in his heart for being fickle and unfaithful.
Wang Qiuyu was annoyed that the man surnamed He was simply blind. He was so nice to Bai Guoguo but was so rude to her.
She was also extremely jealous of Bai Guoguo who could easily attract everyone's attention, but she dared not say anything and could only hold her anger in her heart.
This Bai woman is not someone you can easily mess with. Just look at how she called and dealt with her tough relatives back home. You can tell that this woman is a ruthless character.
She even didn't let her own grandmother, uncle, and cousins go, so I'd better not provoke her too much.
