Unexpectedly, the kitchen area that Ma Xiulan requested was three or four times larger than the average kitchen, and she also requested two more stoves, adding to the original one, for a total of three.
Ma Mingqiang calculated that a 30-square-meter kitchen would need to be built with bricks and have a door and windows installed, which would cost a lot of money, about 200 yuan.
He wanted to say, "Just put a curtain in the kitchen. It's a waste to use a door."
But seeing the serious look on my elder sister's face, I thought, forget it, let her build it however she wants. I'll just buy some wood and make a door for her.
After hearing the quotation, Ma Xiulan first gave Ma Mingqiang 300 yuan and let him be fully responsible for building the kitchen.
After Ma Mingqiang and his men left, Ma Xiu Lan took the remaining pound of beef sauce and went to find Old Man Zhang and Old Lady Zhang.
"Uncle, Auntie, I'm here."
When Old Lady Zhang saw Ma Xiulan, she quickly welcomed her in. Seeing what she had placed on the table, she scolded her:
"You're here now, what else are you bringing?"
"By the way, now that the college entrance exams are open, all the high school teachers on this street are incredibly busy. They go to school during the day, and at night their desks are filled with relatives' kids. I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of your three children."
Ma Xiu Lan was a little disappointed. She knew it would be difficult to find, but she didn't expect that she couldn't find it.
Seeing her disappointment, Mrs. Zhang sighed:
"Actually, there's another person. His name is Gu Xiangze. He's a well-rounded person and even studied abroad in his early years."
"He taught Chinese at the best high school in our city for over a decade. However, because of his family background, he was sent down to the countryside a few years ago. He was recently rehabilitated and said his health was severely damaged. He's afraid he doesn't have the energy to teach children."
Ma Xiulan didn't give up: "I have to try to find out where this person lives."
She could see the dark circles under the children's eyes and the lack of confidence that slipped through their faces. Without a teacher to guide them, they had to rely on their own hard work.
"It's in Courtyard No. 5 on the street ahead."
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Ma Xiulan took the wooden bracelet she had received from Zhao Youcai today. The scent of Old Lady Wang had almost dissipated.
She wiped it gently with a soft cloth dipped in water. After wiping it several times, the wooden bracelet revealed its ancient texture and a comfortable fragrance.
She smelled the fragrance and felt comfortable both physically and mentally. She unconsciously put the bracelet on her hand.
I had a good night's sleep and woke up at four o'clock, but I felt very energetic.
What a great thing.
I don’t know how much it’s worth.
