Chapter 65: Furniture Installation



Xiaoguo tied up the donkey, asked Zhuangzhuang to close the door, and then he went back into the house first.

"Brother, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Xiaoguo looked at Qin Anming who was leaning on the bed. He looked better than in the morning.

"Yeah! I feel almost well now, and I have strength back!"

After saying this, Qin Anming wanted to prove that he was fine, so he prepared to get up, but as soon as he moved, he started coughing.

Xiao Guo stood up with a smile, walked to his side and patted him on the back to comfort him.

"Brother, have a good rest. I just went to the county to get some medicine. I'll make it for you in a while."

Qin Anming nodded and leaned on the bed obediently.

Xiaoguo talked to him for a while, and when Zhuangzhuang came into the house, Xiaoguo went out because he still had to tidy up the furniture in the yard.

When I arrived at the yard, I first brought in the bone and cloth shoes I had bought and put them inside the house.

"Brother, do you think this fabric looks good?"

Xiaoguo took the cloth and spread it out for Qin Anming to see.

"nice!"

Qin Anming praised Xiaoguo and said that he indeed had a good vision.

"I bought this for you. I'll make it into clothes for you when I have time."

Qin Anming was very pleased that his sister could make clothes!

"Yeah! OK!"

Xiaoguo turned around and put the cloth into the sewing basket, then took the bones to the kitchen and put them away.

I bought a lot, leaving some for tonight and putting the rest in the space.

Then, he came to the donkey cart and started moving the wood.

Of the wood you buy, only the bed board is separate and needs to be assembled by yourself; the rest are finished products.

Xiaoguo first went into the house to see if the ground was dry. When he went in, he saw that it was dry through.

We came to the yard, moved the bed boards into the house one by one, and assembled them inside.

Zhuangzhuang heard the noise and came to Xiaoguo, wanting to pretend with her.

"Zhuangzhuang, you can't move it."

Xiaoguo looked at Zhuangzhuang with amusement. Zhuangzhuang, a little man, was using his tiny arms to help Xiaoguo lift the other end of the board. His little face turned red but he couldn't lift the board very high.

Xiao Guo laughed so hard that tears were about to fall.

"Zhuangzhuang, Zhuangzhuang, stop moving, I can do it myself, don't hurt your arms!"

Xiaoguo quickly put down the board and rushed Zhuangzhuang outside, "Don't move anymore, go and accompany your uncle."

I was really worried that he might hurt his arm. I knew Zhuangzhuang was trying to help me, but I still coaxed him outside.

Zhuangzhuang pouted and reluctantly let Xiaoguo push him outside. When he reached the door frame, he grabbed the door frame with his little hands.

"Mom, don't hurt your hands~"

Xiao Guo felt warm in her heart and kissed his little face, "Go~"

As soon as Zhuangzhuang left, Xiaoguo continued to work on his task.

The board is heavy for Zhuangzhuang, but for Xiaoguo it is just a little bit heavy and he can lift it with a little effort.

Xiaoguo lifted the board with great effort and put it into the board slot that had just been placed.

After aligning it, he let go and the board fell into the board slot. He stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Xiaoguo now felt that he had gained a lot of strength after coming here.

Qin Anming listened to Xiaoguo's movements and asked Zhuangzhuang to help him to Xiaoguo's side.

"Brother, why are you here? Why don't you just lie down on the bed?"

Xiaoguo heard the noise behind her, turned around and saw Qin Anming leaning against the door frame.

"I'm fine, just looking to see if there's anything I can do to help you."

When Xiaoguo heard this, he laughed out loud. If Qin Anming hit him with a stick, he would probably cough and vomit.

"What do you need help with? It will be done in a moment. Go back and lie down."

Qin Anming stood at the door and saw that Xiaoguo was indeed able to do it, but he could not help much, so he went back to the house to avoid causing trouble for Xiaoguo. He decided to take care of his health as soon as possible. When he was well, he would take care of all the work himself.

Xiaoguo became proficient at it and soon had a bed with bedposts and rails.

Install the bed curtains that come with the wood, and the bed is complete.

Xiaoguo moved the footstool under the bed over, and then moved the closet in. Although the closet was large, he managed to find the right balance, and he was able to carry it on his back and put it in the corner.

Xiaoguo thought it was habitable, so all that was left was to put on the mattress, quilt and pillows.

When Xiaoguo packed Qin Anming's clothes in the morning, she also took the blanket on the bed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Guo found the bundles and opened the largest one, which contained mattresses, quilts and other things.

Xiaoguo took it out and shook it. He was about to take it inside to cover the bed, but he saw that the sun was still quite strong. He thought it would be better to let it dry in the sun first so that it would be warmer when he woke up at night.

Xiaoguo went back to the house to get the laundry hammer. When she got to the clothesline, she aimed at the mattress and hammered on it.

As the cotton is flapped, air enters into the cotton, and the cotton becomes fluffy.

Xiaoguo patted each side and left it outside without taking care of it.

While Xiaoguo was busy, Zhuangzhuang had already come out several times. Every time he came out, he looked around with his big eyes blinking, trying to see if there was anything he could do.

Xiaoguo felt helpless about Zhuangzhuang's behavior, and finally asked Zhuangzhuang to move the desk into their room, while she followed behind with the desk.

"Mom, where do we put it?"

Zhuangzhuang stood in the house and turned around to ask Xiaoguo.

"Where is it?"

Xiaoguo pointed to the empty space next to the closet, put it in first and positioned it properly, then Zhuangzhuang followed suit and put down the stool.

Qin Anming saw the desk and desk stool and asked Xiaoguo curiously.

"Did you buy the desk for Zhuangzhuang?"

"Yes, Zhuangzhuang can only study at the dining table in the main hall. It would be more proper to buy him a desk."

Xiaoguo said to Qin Anming.

Qin Anming nodded, and then thought, Xiaoguo can't read either, so how can Zhuangzhuang learn to read?

He thought so and asked the question like that. Xiaoguo was stunned. So, the original owner couldn't read!

Xiaoguo was very nervous, but she didn't show it on her face. She calmly put the blame on Jiang's mother.

“Isn’t this what my mother-in-law taught me?”

Qin Anming had no doubts when he heard her say this. After all, the Jiang family was the richest before their decline. They used to live in the capital and must be able to read.

Seeing that Qin Anming had no doubts, Xiaoguo felt relieved.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xiaoguo started to prepare dinner.

In every meal that Xiaoguo prepared for Qin Anming, except for breakfast, she would cook a pot of bone soup for lunch and dinner.

Before cooking, Xiaoguo brought in the blanket that was drying in the yard. It was sunny now, so she could just bask in it for a while and still sleep warmly at night.

Back in the kitchen, Xiaoguo bought pork shank bones this time and prepared to stew them in clear soup.

But this time, lily and wolfberry were added to it to clear the lungs and strengthen the spleen.

Xiaoguo looked at the vegetable basket, wondering what to eat tonight.

There seem to be quite a lot of carrots in it, so Xiaoguo plans to make some carrot cakes and then stir-fry some celery and pork.

Keep dinner simple, as the saying goes, eat a good breakfast, a full lunch, and a light dinner.

Xiaoguo still respected this saying. After all, she ate too much at night and couldn't sleep.

This is not as good as modern times, when the lights are still on outside after dinner and people can go out for a walk. Nowadays, people go to bed directly after dinner when it is dark outside.

When Xiaoguo first came, he brought Zhuangzhuang with him to eat greasy food every night, which was too much for the two of them.
