I have a room, but how can I sleep without a bed?! How can I eat without a cook?!
Isn't it normal for people to buy furniture and pots and pans?! Are we going to let them sleep in the cold and starve?!
"Professor Qiao, you know those people in the family compound, they just have bad mouths."
Sister Lu followed behind with her things in her hand and went into the room on the third floor. She measured the bare room as she spoke.
If it were her, she would also buy furniture and food today.
"I know."
While greeting her, Qiao Jiru put the things in her hand into the kitchen.
Sister Lu also quickly put the washbasin in her hand into the bathroom, and then put the kettle in the kitchen.
"I'll go back and get some coal for you guys to burn first."
The kitchen was also empty, with nothing in it. Seeing this, Sister Lu put her things down, turned around and left.
Not only coal, but also some firewood, otherwise how can we make a living?!
Qiao Ruru suddenly remembered that she had bought so many things that she had forgotten to buy coal. However, her family did not have a coal certificate or coal ticket, so they could not buy coal.
By this time, the furniture factory had already delivered two beds, a desk and chair, a dining table and chairs, and a cabinet to the third-floor room as instructed. The remaining furniture in the truck was then delivered to the fourth-floor room. After that, everyone began to assemble the furniture for the third-floor room according to the instructions.
The cabinets, desks and chairs, and dining tables and chairs do not need to be assembled. These are not big items, they are all ready-made and can be moved in.
The remaining five beds were also easy to assemble. They were made entirely of wood and planks, with mortise and tenon joints. It took only half an hour to assemble one, so all five took two and a half hours.
Sister Lu picked up 26 coal briquettes at home, and bundled up about 20 kilograms of firewood, and hurriedly carried them to the third floor.
"Professor Qiao, you guys take care of these coal and firewood first."
The quantity may not be much, and this is all her family can move. She is also well, so it should be enough for three or four days.
Qiao Jiru certainly didn't mind, and she didn't want to eat at a state-owned restaurant again late at night. Although she really wanted to, it wasn't because she didn't have the ability, but if they really went to a restaurant every day, it would attract more attention and people would talk about it than the furniture they just bought.
They can no longer keep a low profile, but they still need to be careful and not do things that can give people a handle on them.
"Oh, I forgot one thing. What are you having for dinner?! Did you buy any food?!"
Sister Lu has been in charge of the household for many years, and she remembered that the Su family had just returned and she didn't know if there was any food.
"Yes, yes, we brought back the food we had in the countryside, just in case we had nowhere to buy food when we got back."
Qiao Jiru quickly pointed to the fifty-kilogram bag of grain in the corner of the kitchen. Fortunately, they brought it for demonstration, otherwise they would not be able to say anything.
"Okay then. You probably haven't bought any vegetables yet. I have to go home and pick some for you."
After saying this, Sister Lu ran away again.
In the past, the houses in the staff compound were all bungalows, with gardens in front and back for growing vegetables and raising chickens. The vegetables they grew could provide enough for a few meals.
So, the people in the family compound just saw Sister Lu delivering coal and firewood to the Su family, and a little while later they saw her go home and carry a basket of vegetables to the Su family again.
Come in, come in.
Everyone in the family compound knew that the Su family, who had just been rehabilitated, was really short of things.
All of a sudden, those who were jealous of the half car of home appliances bought by others, suddenly no longer felt jealous or envious.
They would rather not have such a thing happen. After all, their family has been living in Beijing all these years in perfect condition. Isn't that better than the Su family being sent down to suffer?!
Even if they were to compensate the Su family with wages and tickets now, the money would only be used to buy daily necessities. After spending it, there would be nothing left. There was really nothing worth their envy.
