Jiang Wenwan's eyes lit up, but then she hesitated.
"People make adobe bricks to build houses, isn't it wrong for me to do this in return?"
Song Dandan said "Hi":
"Why not?"
If you're willing to trade something for her, she'll definitely be happy to. I can go ask her for you if you don't believe me.
Jiang Wenwan watched as she walked out, speechless. This Sister Song really had a fiery temper.
She dug out a small vegetable patch in the yard; there were vegetable seeds in her spatial storage, so she could just take them out and plant them.
They came with two large packages, so the vegetable seeds they took out shouldn't be suspected.
As she sowed the vegetable seeds, it was almost noon. She took out some dried meat from her spatial storage, but before she had eaten a few pieces, she saw Sister Song pulling the girl in.
The girl was so pretty to Jiang Wenwan at first glance. She had a long braid like Sister Song, rosy cheeks, and big, sincere eyes looking at Jiang Wenwan.
According to Sister Song.
"Hey girl, this is Old Xu's wife. I think you two are about the same age. Old Xu's wife got married earlier than you, so you can just call her Sister-in-law Xu."
"Hello, Sister Xu, my surname is Jiang."
Jiang Wenwan greeted Sister Xu with a smile.
Sister-in-law Xu responded with a "yes".
"Hey, then I'll call you Sister Jiang. I heard you want to build a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) with adobe bricks."
I just happened to have made a lot of adobe bricks there!
If you need it, just go and bring it over.
Hearing her say that, Jiang Wenwan felt relieved.
“Then I can’t use yours for free. You’ll also need to use those adobe bricks to build the house, which will take up your time.”
Here's what I'll do: I'll trade you something. If you don't accept it, then you're looking down on me.
"Wait here, I'll go inside and get it for you."
After saying that, he glanced at the courtyard.
"I don't have a place for you to sit here, so you'll have to wait."
She took out eight goose eggs and a ten-yuan note from the room next door.
"I brought twenty goose eggs with me this time, all of them are hatching eggs."
I was very careful on this journey. I gave two to Sister Song yesterday, and these eight are for you.
Chicken eggs cost three cents each, goose eggs cost five cents each, and eight goose eggs would cost four dollars.
Adding a ten-yuan note, it would cost fourteen yuan to build a kang (heated brick bed), which shouldn't be cheap, right?
She could always make more pork jerky for her later.
When Sister Xu saw the eight goose eggs she took out, each one was as big as a man's fist, she was overjoyed.
"Girl, these eight goose eggs are enough for me. You can take this one-dollar note back; I can't accept it."
Jiang Wenwan shook her head.
"No way, I've already taken it out, there's no reason to take it back."
Sister Xu, please accept this. After I finish building the kang (heated brick bed), I'll also build a small stove, and I'm thinking of building a low wall over here so that I can raise the geese here when they hatch.
"We used quite a few adobe bricks. If you think it's not enough and don't keep them, then I'll get you more."
When Sister Xu heard her say that, she quickly shook her head.
"No need, no need, this is more than enough."
Hearing that the two of them had made up their minds, Song Dandan happily said:
"Then have your husband, Mr. Xu, bring him over so he can rest at home for a few days."
"Okay, I'll let him know when the time comes."
After seeing her two sisters-in-law off, Jiang Wenwan began to plan the small courtyard, with a vegetable garden on one side and a goose pen on the other, leaving a space for walking in the middle.
This makes it feel a bit crowded.
She then moved one side of the vegetable patch closer together, leaving more space in the middle.
A short while later, Zhou Yunting returned with the furniture he had bought.
Zhou Yunting drove all the way to his house, got out of the car, rolled up his sleeves, and went to help Zhang Shun and the others unload the cabinet.
Zhang Shun and he went to move the wardrobe, and then the wardrobe door suddenly opened, and a little child jumped out.
Who else could it be but that mischievous Zhou Ye?
Upon seeing him, Zhou Yunting was immediately annoyed and dragged him out of the car.
"Who told you to come along?"
"I want to come and find Sister Jiang!"
He stiffened his little neck and waved his little arms and legs wildly in the air.
That annoying older brother, he always grabs people by the back of their collar.
"I'll take you back in a bit. You're not allowed to stay here overnight. And from now on, you're not allowed to call her Sister Jiang. Call her Sister-in-law!"
Don't get my name wrong, or I'll beat you up every time I hear it.
"No, I won't go back! I want to stay with Sister Jiang! Waaah!"
Zhou Yunting slapped him on the butt.
"What should I call you? Think it over before you say so."
"Jiang, sister-in-law, waaaaah, sister-in-law, come out quickly, my brother is bullying me."
The yard is only so big, and they're making a scene right in front of her house, how could she not hear them?
I had been watching them from the yard for a while.
"Alright, put her down quickly. Go call them later so your mother-in-law won't worry; her eyes are still swollen."
Jiang Wenwan was right; Shen Meiling couldn't find her son and was already crying.
People from the residential compound came out to watch the spectacle, knowing that the newly arrived family must be lacking everything.
"Wow, that wardrobe is nice. What's that?"
An auntie looked at it curiously; it was a cabinet that resembled a wardrobe but wasn't quite one, and it was even shorter than a wardrobe.
Another aunt said:
"I know that's a cabinet for storing dishes and chopsticks. You can see there's a big plate painted on it."
The plate was decorated with green lotus leaves, pink lotus flowers, and golden carp; it was quite beautiful.
"Commander Zhou is truly worthy of being the division commander's son; he lives a very refined life."
Buying a separate cabinet to store bowls and chopsticks is quite extravagant.
Is his wife from a capitalist family?
"He knows how to enjoy himself."
"Aunt Wang, your words are really sour."
