Chapter 68 Who Stole My Basin
Jia Yuhe noticed that there were three rooms in the back building on the right. There was firewood piled at the door and clothes drying on the clothesline. It was obvious that someone lived there.
There are also two rooms on the left, which are clean and tidy. There is a lock on the door, which shows that the owner is not at home.
In front of the Zhao family's house, men's clothes and clothes that were obviously young girls' were drying.
When Jia Yuhe saw this, her eyes flashed and she kept it in mind.
After waiting for Jia Zhenzhen to move the things away, Jia Yuhe stepped forward, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Jia Zhenzhen's sweat, speaking softly.
"Zhenzhen, it's all because of Mom's poor health. You must be exhausted. I'll buy you some meat to nourish you after we move in."
"Mom, I'm not tired. I can still do it."
Jia Zhenzhen took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Although her arms were sore, she felt happy in her heart. She knew that her mother loved her the most and even bought her meat.
After moving away the debris in front of the house, Jia Yuhe took out the house key given by the street office from her pocket, suppressed her nausea and walked forward to open the door.
The house was unoccupied. As soon as I opened the door, I was hit by dust and a musty smell.
"Ahem, ahem, mom, why is there so much dust in this room?"
Both mother and daughter covered their mouths and noses and fanned away the dust with their hands.
Jia Zhenzhen looked around and when she opened her eyes, the two rooms were empty, with only the heavy broken table and bed left unpacked.
"Ahem, ahem, Zhenzhen, let's pack up early and stay here tonight. The rent for our house is due."
Jia Yuhe seemed to be choked, her face flushed, and she covered her mouth and retreated to the door.
"Mom, you take a break, I'll do it. How can I clean it without a broom or rag?"
Jia Zhenzhen was also worried. She wanted to work, but she felt powerless because she had nothing.
"Mom will go to the backyard to borrow it."
Jia Yuhe also wanted to go and see what the backyard was like, and find out the details of those women.
"Okay, Mom, please go outside. There's too much dust in this room."
Jia Yuhe went out and carefully walked around Jin Qiaofeng's house. She didn't see any broom, so she walked to the sink to wash her hands.
After wiping it clean with a handkerchief, Shi Shiran walked to the backyard on her small feet.
On the west side of the backyard, Diao Yulian was banging a broom at the door. When she saw Jia Yuhe coming, she snorted and twisted her butt into the house. The door closed with a loud bang.
When Jia Yuhe saw this scene, she paused, tightened her grip on the handkerchief, and continued walking into the yard with a smile on her face.
Looking at the backyard, I found it was obviously bigger than the front yard, with apricot trees planted around it and the bluestone slabs were clean.
Even the house was a little bigger than the front yard. Jia Yuhe saw Gao Xiulan from the east room walk into the yard and spoke softly.
"Hey, big sister, my mother and I were just cleaning the house, and we didn't bring a broom or anything. Can you borrow one?"
"I'll send it back right after I'm done with it, is that okay with you?"
Gao Xiulan was holding some dried mushrooms and soaking them in water when she saw Jia Yuhe coming over with a smile.
"Okay, send it over when you're done."
Don't hit a smiling person. Gao Xiulan agreed after hearing this and nodded to Jia Yuhe to go to the door and get it herself.
"Hey, thank you, big sister."
Jia Yuhe said yes softly, and walked to the door of Xie's house to get a broom.
Before leaving, Jia Yuhe glanced inside the door and seemed to see a man lying on the bed.
"Thank you, sister. I'll send it back when I'm done."
Jia Yuhe stared at the mushrooms that Gao Xiulan had soaked. They were big and looked like good stuff.
"It's okay, just remember to return it to me."
Gao Xiulan was busy and had no time to talk. She responded without even raising her head, and kept washing vegetables with her hands.
Jia Yuhe talked for a long time and could only walk back with the broom.
She thought to herself: "This woman is so stingy. Look at me, she didn't even offer me some mushrooms. We're neighbors, and she's so stingy."
Gao Xiulan also had no idea of Jia Yuhe's little thoughts.
Jia Yuhe walked slowly back to the front yard. Jia Zhenzhen had already cleaned up the junk in the room and was busy and dusty.
"Mom, you're back. Give me the broom. Mom, take a rag from the outermost part of your bag and give it to me. I'll wipe the bed and the table."
Jia Zhenzhen was wearing a hat made of torn newspaper, which slightly blocked the dust, and her face was covered with gray.
"Hey, Zhenzhen, you've worked so hard. What would you do without your mother?"
Jia Yuhe wiped her eyes, went out to get a rag, handed it to Jia Zhenzhen, and then stood at the door watching Jia Zhenzhen work hard.
Jia Zhenzhen first wiped it briefly with a cloth, then went out and found the wooden basin placed in the pool outside Jin Qiaofeng's house.
After getting the water, he took the wooden basin back into the house and started washing the rag.
It is much easier to wipe with a wet cloth. After working hard for a whole morning, Jia Zhenzhen finally cleaned the house.
Jia Zhenzhen is like a hardworking little bee, busy all the time, catching things in front of and outside the house.
"Mom, you can bring the things in now. Your back is not in good condition, so just take something light. I'll do the rest."
Jia Zhenzhen still had some strength left, and she ran into the house carrying the box in both hands.
The delicate Jia Yuhe looked like an obedient young wife, following behind with a small bag in her hand.
Jia Zhenzhen quickly carried the things piled outside back into the house one by one.
"Mom, let's live like this for now. I'll buy the rest of the things later."
Jia Zhenzhen was so tired that she stood and pounded her waist, while Jia Yuhe sat on the cleaned bed.
The mother and daughter were assigned to one room, which seemed empty because there was nothing in it.
A large room was divided into two small rooms.
The room near the Zhao family's house was divided into two rooms, the front and back. The inside was the kitchen, and the outside was the main room used as a dining area with a wooden table.
Next to Jin Qiaofeng's house is a slightly larger bedroom with a wooden bed.
It was just the right size for Jia Yuhe and Jia Zhenzhen to sleep in. The only problem was that there was no cabinet in the bedroom, so Jia Zhenzhen had to pile her things on the floor.
"Uncle Wen doesn't know if he can find us a better yard. This house is still a bit small. If there were two rooms, it would be more spacious."
Jia Zhenzhen muttered and complained softly.
"Zhenzhen, your uncle Wen is busy, and it's good enough that he helps us deal with the house. Otherwise, we don't know what kind of life we would have had."
In fact, Jia Yuhe was not very satisfied with this house. If she was allocated the backyard, it would be just okay.
But he gently comforted Jia Zhenzhen, asking her not to blame Brother Wen.
"Mom, that old man kicked us out of the house just because my dad left. He's really heartless."
Jia Zhenzhen said this angrily, with fire in her eyes.
"Your grandma is also a sweet-faced person with a bitter heart. Poor Zhenzhen has to suffer with me. It's all because of mom's incompetence."
Jia Yuhe was lying on the bed wiping her tears and pounding her chest hesitantly.
"Mom, don't say that. I'll be at home from now on, don't worry."
Seeing her mother crying again, Jia Zhenzhen hurriedly tried to comfort her.
"That brat stole my basin. Where is my basin?"
Jin Qiaofeng's angry voice came from outside the door.
