Before she made a sound, Jun Jing half-squatted on the ground, feeling helpless.
Bai Lu climbed onto the man's back, hugged his neck, rested her head on his shoulder, buried her face in his shoulder, and closed her eyes.
Is there anything more infuriating than the man you like ignoring you and walking past you with another woman on his back?
The point is, the woman he is carrying is sleeping with her eyes closed. She doesn't listen to your quarrels or noises, and just ignores you.
Jun Jing carried Bai Lu on his back and passed by Jiang Shiyuan without saying a word.
Jiang Shiyuan's face turned pale with anger. She stood there like a husband-waiting rock, watching the man disappear from her sight. Bai Lu! She just couldn't believe it! A peasant like her would use such despicable means to seduce someone!
Bai Lu was originally taking a nap, thinking that she would go downstairs and walk away by herself after leaving Jiang Shiyuan's sight. Later, she thought about hiding for a while and finally fell asleep.
When Jun Jing carried the person onto the boat and placed him on a stool, Bai Lu woke up.
Then, the boat floated on the water, and Bai Lu's head swayed with the boat, swaying and swaying, and then she fell asleep again. Every time after fighting with someone, as long as she came across a place to sleep, she would take a nap without hesitation. Her physical fitness was too poor.
Jun Jing has been helping her hold her head up, thinking that Bai Lu can eat and sleep well... In fact, she is quite easy to raise, just like raising a child...
He reached out and brushed away the loose hair on her head without leaving any trace...
Seeing that Bai Lu was frowning and seemed to be sleeping uneasy, he finally laid him down, with his body basically pressed on his legs and his head resting in his arms, as if he was holding a giant baby.
The soldier next to him would occasionally stretch his head and look into Jun Jing's arms. Jun Jing glared and snapped, "Who are you staring at?"
The person who was looking out was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head. The red mole on his earlobe was very eye-catching. He wanted to see what kind of stunning girl Jun Tuan was taking such good care of...
Bai Lu heard the sound and hummed as she moved to a more comfortable position. She was originally lying in Jun Jing's arms, but now she was completely nestled in his arms. The human cushion on the chair was very comfortable. Then her hand unconsciously rested on Jun Jing's chest, and she buried her head in the crook of his arm and fell asleep peacefully again.
Jun Jing didn't say anything else, but just glared fiercely at the soldier who had just stuck his head out.
At this glance, everything was silent, and those who were eager to take a look nearby retracted their necks.
When I woke up, the afternoon sun was shining brightly.
The boat just stopped at the ferry.
Bai Lu stretched, grabbed Jun Jing's wrist and jumped off the boat.
"Where's the order?"
Bai Lu reached into her pocket and took out a list.
Jun Jing's forehead twitched.
He knows what these things are, but not all of them are for sale.
Then we took a bus together and went to the wood factory first.
Bai Lu looked at the pitifully simple furniture and regretted having put so many things on the shopping list...
She pursed her lips tightly, not wanting to go any deeper.
"You don't like any of them?" Jun Jing noticed her resistance. "The furniture here is already the most complete. When the team gets their rooms, they'll all be given a set from here. If you don't like any of them, we'll have to buy the wood and make them ourselves."
"You hit me?"
"Sure, your brother taught me carpentry. He is very good at it. He made the two rooms separated from my house." Every time Jun Jing mentioned Bai Chen, the corners of his lips would curl up slightly.
Bai Lu thought back to the furniture she had seen in the mud house. This brother had truly taken great care of Bai Youran... corner cabinets, chests of drawers, cupboards, shoe cabinets, wardrobes... and even tables. The house was furnished much better than Jun Jing's room...
"What kind of person is Bai Chen?"
Bai Lu felt that Jun Jing's feelings for Bai Chen far exceeded those of an ordinary comrade...
He wouldn't really like Bai Chen, because of the taboo, so he loves himself and his family as well...
"He is upright and unyielding, and he doesn't flatter others. In his world, there are only two things: military orders and raising his sister."
Jun Jing said this and looked at Bai Lu.
"Military orders are about patriotism, raising a sister is about loving family, doesn't he love himself?"
Bai Lu was very surprised. How could there be someone who didn't put loving herself first?
Jun Jing was stunned. Love himself?
People of this era are not good at expressing themselves. To them, loving themselves is equivalent to being selfish.
Everyone is selfish, but no one will admit it!
However, in Junjing's opinion, Bai Lu's self-love is not the same as selfishness.
He didn't answer Bai Lu's words, "If you want to make furniture, we have to go to the granite quarry."
"Buy ore to make furniture?" Bai Lu suddenly realized that the knowledge reserves in her head were not enough.
"Go buy discarded sleepers. Mining sleepers have high density, are strong, and are resistant to corrosion, making them very suitable for furniture."
Bai Lu didn't say much.
"So, the room you're living in now is partitioned off by sleepers?"
Jun Jing nodded. "It looks very thick, like a brick wall, right? It's oak and elm. The South Island is humid, and the temperature varies greatly. The degree of impact on these woods will be reduced to an imperceptible degree."
Bailu has gained some interesting knowledge about carpentry.
She began to doubt whether she could really take care of herself living alone in this era...
This was not Junjing's first time to buy sleepers at the granite mine, and everything went smoothly.
The eliminated sleepers of poor quality were not cheap either. Others sold them for 1.8 yuan each, but Junjing was willing to pay 2 yuan each. Based on the number of furniture items, he ordered 50 at once.
When Bai Lu was a little shocked, the man paid and asked the other party to send the items to the military service center...
After leaving the mine, Bai Lu was curious, "Is the extra 20 cents the delivery fee?" She was trying hard to learn life skills in this era when there was not even a building materials market.
"Those sleepers are usually only sold domestically. One family can buy six or seven at most. We want 50." Jun Jing smiled.
Bai Lu nodded. "So it's a commission? Because you bought a lot, so you have to pay a commission?"
"It's not a bribe. The money is compensation to the families who were originally able to buy the sleepers." After deciding to raise the child, Jun Jing told him everything he knew and showed a lot more patience.
Bai Lu pursed her lips, feeling very sad. If she bought more things, she would have to pay more.
Then the two went to the service center.
Military Service Society 1976
Daily necessities area: towels, basins, toothbrushes, thermal lunch boxes, teapots, enamel cups, and various daily necessities...
Food area: Fruit candies, White Rabbit, malted milk, biscuits, peach cakes, cream cakes, and all kinds of food...
Jun Jing gave Bai Lu a portion of every available variety.
Bai Lu looked at the bamboo horse for a long time. Jun Jing thought she liked it and bought it.
"That's for kids to play with." Bai Lu pointed at the rocking chair that had already been paid for.
"You can play too."
Meaning, she is a child, she is childish? Bai Lu's face swelled up like a pufferfish.
She felt a little regretful about following Jun Jing out to buy things. Looking at the pile on the ground, he didn't expect her to help him carry it, right?
She tugged at Jun Jing's sleeve at the elbow, and Jun Jing looked at her, "What do you want?"
