After a lot of selection, Ning Xiyue finally chose some furniture of standard style.
A small table that can be placed on the kang, a chair, a small stool, two wooden barrels for holding water, a wooden lid for a matching large iron pot with seven seals, a small wooden basin for washing vegetables, a small cabinet for storing things, and a camphorwood box.
Finally, Ning Xiyue also reserved a cupboard for her future small kitchen, where she will store all her kitchen supplies, which will be safe and convenient.
Ning Xiyue only used four of his soon-to-expire industrial coupons and a meat coupon worth one kilogram to buy these things. Compared to the well-made furniture, they were really cheap.
While Ning Xiyue was picking things out, Aunt Qiuju went back to push the cart. The two houses were not far from each other.
So when Ning Xiyue came out, she saw Aunt Qiuju pushing the things she had selected over and waving at her: "Xiyue girl, put everything up here."
Then Aunt Qiuju came over to help Ning Xiyue move things.
Chen Yechu also had two things. Aunt Qiuju saw that she was somewhat familiar with Ning Xiyue, so she asked her to put them up as well. However, Chen Yechu had to stay at Uncle Chen's house for a while and would not follow them back to the educated youth site for the time being.
"Ye Chu, I'll go back first. See you later." Ning Xiyue waved while standing beside the cart.
She guessed that Chen Yechu would still discuss the design of the desk with the old man.
Otherwise, why would Mr. Chen look at her differently? The only thing that can impress an old craftsman is something eye-opening in the field he is proud of.
Ning Xiyue said goodbye to Chen Yechu and pushed the cart to the Youth House with Aunt Qiuju. Aunt Qiuju also helped her move things and helped her set up the house.
Wang Mengmeng, who was at a loss and had no idea what to do in the Youth League Home, saw Ning Xiyue coming back with a cart of things and packed them up in a few seconds. She was curious and envious.
However, considering the impression Ning Xiyue had left on her before, she didn't dare to go to Ning Xiyue to ask.
Seeing Liu Yao behind him had an idea, he muttered casually, "How did Comrade Ning Xiyue get things done so quickly? She's almost finished packing everything, including the furniture and some daily necessities. I'm still confused and want to ask her. She's really amazing."
"Yeah, that's amazing." Liu Yao thought she was really praising Ning Xiyue, and nodded in agreement while packing her luggage.
Wang Mengmeng: …
Is this silly girl really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
Wang Mengmeng continued: "Comrade Liu Yao, don't you want to know?"
"Know what?" Liu Yao looked at Wang Mengmeng with confusion.
Wang Mengmeng was choked and really felt that Liu Yao did it on purpose.
"Don't you want to pack some tables, chairs, and benches? Why don't you bring back some buckets, dustpans, and brooms? You know, we don't have anything. The ones we used before were temporarily lent to us by Comrade Guifang."
This time, Wang Mengmeng simply said it directly. If she had said it in a more subtle way, Liu Yao wouldn't have understood.
Liu Yao understood this time and said anxiously, "Ah, it seems so. I forgot that we still need to buy these things. Where are we going to get them? What should we do? I wonder if my cousin knows."
Wang Mengmeng was completely stunned. It turned out that all the long words she had just said were in vain. No one listened to her at all.
When Ning Xiyue went out to fetch water, she heard this from the next room and was so happy.
Oh my god, it’s even funnier than a double act.
Why didn’t Wang Mengmeng dare to ask her herself? Ning Xiyue was a little confused. She shook her head and carried the wooden basin into the house.
With Aunt Qiuju's help, everything was done quickly. In no time, the things she had exchanged were put in order and placed where they should be.
When sending Aunt Qiuju out, Ning Xiyue took out half a can of milk powder from the system backpack and handed it to Aunt Qiuju.
I wanted to give him another pound of brown sugar as a thank you, but after thinking it over carefully, I decided not to. Sometimes giving people things can easily whet their appetites, and then I’d feel uncomfortable if I don’t give them things in the future.
She didn't want to be a sucker. It was good enough as long as there was a give and take like now, with a clear transaction. Both parties were happy and had their own sense of boundaries.
Sure enough, after Ning Xiyue handed the milk powder to Aunt Qiuju, Aunt Qiuju was already very happy. She looked at the milk powder curiously with a smile on her face.
"Yue girl, auntie is so grateful to you. Now my little baby has milk powder to drink. When he grows up, I will definitely ask him to come and thank you in person."
Ning Xiyue smiled and replied, "Then I'll wait for Xiaobao to come and thank you, Auntie."
Ning Xiyue's words made Aunt Qiuju laugh happily.
Wang Mengmeng, who was still talking to Liu Yao in the room, noticed that Aunt Qiuju was about to leave. She stopped talking to Liu Yao and went out to stop Aunt Qiuju, but her tone was stiff.
"Auntie, wait a minute, I have something to talk to you about."
Aunt Qiuju rolled her eyes when she heard this impolite voice and looked at Wang Mengmeng sideways: "What are you doing? I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to you here."
Who would ask someone to do something for you in such a harsh tone, and say it so confidently without even using any respect? Who are you? Do you think others have to wait and listen to you when you have something to ask?
When Ning Xiyue saw Wang Mengmeng chasing after her, she was about to praise her in her heart for being quite smart, but the tone of her voice made her take back her words instantly.
This girl still needs to improve her emotional intelligence in dealing with people.
Wang Mengmeng was stunned for a moment after hearing what Aunt Qiuju said. She felt a little embarrassed and aggrieved. She turned around and left without asking any more questions.
All the unhappiness and grievances that had accumulated in her heart over the past few days because of going to the countryside came out one by one. Wiping away her tears, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should not have signed up to go to the countryside for Xia Zhipeng, a man who didn't like her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered all these hardships and grievances, and would not have been bullied by the peasants.
Ning Xiyue shook her head secretly, thinking that she was not thick-skinned enough and her ability to bear was a little poor. As long as she was thick-skinned enough, she would never be the one who suffered.
"Who indulges her bad habit?" Aunt Qiuju said with a snort.
Ning Xiyue then realized that Aunt Qiuju was not an easy person to get along with, and she suddenly felt a little impressed with herself.
Aunt Qiuju's expression changed as quickly as that of a Sichuan opera performer. When she looked at Ning Xiyue, she had already put on a pleasant and smiling face. "Xiyue girl, I'll be leaving now. Remember to come find me if you have anything."
"Okay, auntie." Ning Xiyue waved and watched her leave.
Back in the yard, Ning Xiyue saw Wang Mengmeng sitting there gloomily, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liu Yao came out with a puzzled look on her face, pulled Ning Xiyue's hand and asked, "What happened to her? How could she be like this after just going out for a while?"
Ning Xiyue shrugged and said nothing. She believed that every failure was a learning experience and hoped that Wang Mengmeng could figure it out on her own.
Liu Yao didn't get a reply and stopped asking. Instead, she turned to ask what Wang Mengmeng had just said when she woke her up: "By the way, Xiyue, I want to know where you exchanged your furniture and belongings. I want to exchange some too."
Wang Mengmeng was irritated by this and shouted, "Why are you asking? No one will give it to you. You're just asking for trouble. Do you think everyone is as lucky as Ning Xiyue?"
After saying that, he glared at Ning Xiyue.
