next day
After Lin Xiao went to school, Li Shuping started to clean up.
Qin Ye and Qin Rong both knew that she was moving the next day, so they came home to help her pack.
I've only lived in this house for less than a month, so I don't have much stuff, so I can clean it up quickly.
The furniture factory agreed to deliver the tables at ten o'clock. After packing up, Li Shuping and Qin Ye went to the store to pick up the goods.
Qin Rong also went with them. Although she hadn't officially started working yet, she would go to help as long as she could, so as not to let Sister Li down.
"This kitchen is really bright?" Qin Rong said as she toured the kitchen. "Half of this wall is covered with glass, so guests can see everything in the kitchen clearly. It looks clean, so they feel more at ease when eating."
It was the first time she had seen a kitchen like this, and she had to say that Sister Li was really creative.
The car from the furniture factory had not arrived yet, so Li Shuping took Qin Rong to visit the backyard.
"Oh, this is great. It has its own door and yard, and it also has a shop. It's much better than living in a slum. No wonder you were so anxious to move here, Sister Li."
If she had such a nice house to live in, she wouldn't care whether she had lived in the house in the tenement yard for a full month or not and would move in right away.
There are many people living in the compound, and they are of all kinds, including all kinds of monsters and demons.
There's always someone watching you no matter what you do. If no one is at home, you have to lock the door when you go out to the public toilet.
"Aunt Li's car is here." Qin Ye said, standing at the small door leading to the backyard.
"OK."
Li Shuping and Qin Rong walked out together.
The person delivering the goods with the truck was He Shuai. He, the driver and Qin Ye unloaded the goods from the truck together. Li Shuping and Qin Rong stood under the truck to help.
The table and stools were placed in the shop, and the wardrobe and bed were placed in Li Shuping's room in the backyard.
After that, everyone was sweating profusely. Li Shuping took out the soda that she had prepared long ago for everyone to drink.
"No, I'm not thirsty." Qin Rong waved her hand quickly when she saw that she was thirsty too.
"Take it." Li Shuping forced the soda into her hand.
Qin Rong looked at the cool orange soda in her hand and swallowed but didn't drink it. Her Chunbao had never drunk this before.
After resting for a while, Li Shuping and the others stood in the back bed of a large truck and were pulled into Lihua Lane.
After getting off the bus, Qin Rong went home first and gave the soda to her daughter Chunbao.
"Mom, where did you get the soda?" Chunbao asked curiously.
Based on her understanding of her mother, her mother would definitely not be willing to buy such a thing.
This soda costs fifty cents a bottle, and it's enough to buy more than half a pound of meat.
"Your Aunt Li has this. Drink it while I help your Aunt Li move."
Qin Rong went out after she finished speaking.
Lei Chunbao took a look at the soda in his hand, put it on the table, and continued to paste the firewood box.
The people in No. 23 Courtyard were all a little confused when they saw Qin Rong and Qin Ye, the two men who had delivered furniture last time, moving things out of Li Shuping's room one by one.
"Shuping, are you moving?" Aunt Yuan asked Li Shuping as she watched her and Qin Rong carrying the desk out.
Li Shuping replied with a "hmm" and carried the table away.
Aunt Yuan and her daughter-in-law looked at each other and became even more confused.
Huang Qionghua: "It's not even a month since she moved here, why is she moving again? Housing is so tight now, where is she moving to? Isn't she moving back to the Lin family?"
Aunt Yuan shook her head. "How long has it been since she severed ties with her two sons? How could they reconcile so quickly? If they really reconciled, wouldn't her husband and two sons come to help with such a big thing as moving?"
Wang Guixiang walked behind Aunt Yuan with a handful of melon seeds in her hand. "Do you think she wants to move out because she sent Aunt Cui to jail and is afraid that the Zhu family will retaliate against her, so she doesn't dare to live in our courtyard?"
Aunt Yuan & Huang Qionghua: Of course.
Huang Qionghua reached out to Wang Guixiang for some melon seeds, cracking them and saying, "Don't tell me, it's really true. Cui Juanzi is not a good man."
"What do you mean?" Wang Guixiang looked gossipy.
She was the new bride of Yard No. 23 and she didn’t know many things.
Huang Qionghua looked around and lowered her voice and said, "Cui Juanzi still has an older son. He married a wife during the Spring Festival last year. The new wife didn't stay at home for two months before she wanted to split up the family and took Cui Juanzi's older son back to her parents' home to live."
Wang Guixiang: "This is like marrying a troublemaker."
“…” Huang Qionghua was speechless.
Wang Guixiang was puzzled by her look. "They've only been married for two months and they're already asking for separation. Isn't this a troublemaker?"
Huang Qionghua shook her head. "It's not the girl's fault at all. It's Cui Juanzi's husband's fault. Cui Juanzi's eldest son was not at home that night. Zhu Wuyong entered his daughter-in-law's room in the middle of the night and touched her buttocks."
"He was half asleep and thought a thief had broken in. He screamed so loudly that he woke up everyone in the yard."
"When I turned on the light and saw it was Zhu Wuyong, I called him shameless. He insisted that he went to the wrong room when he got up to go to the bathroom and mistook his daughter-in-law for Cui Juanzi."
"But the Zhu family is only the size of a palm, not the imperial palace, how could he have walked into the wrong room? Everyone knows that he deliberately took advantage of his son's absence to take advantage of his daughter-in-law."
"Two days later, the eldest son of the Zhu family came back and moved in with the old man."
Wang Guihua was so disgusted that she got goose bumps all over her body. "I was wondering why he was staring at me when I was brushing my teeth outside this morning. Turns out he's an old pervert."
Huang Qionghua: "You young wives should be careful of him, he is not a good person."
He even dared to attack his own daughter-in-law, let alone outsiders.
The truck was big enough, so Li Shuping simply loaded all the things onto the truck and moved them all in one trip, saving her the trouble of having to come back later to move the small odds and ends.
He did not reverse in the alley, but drove out from the end of the alley, went around outside, and drove to the store.
He Shuai and his friends sent many things away, and moved all the things in Li Shuping's car into the house.
It was already half past ten when they finished moving, but Li Shuping did not let anyone leave and took them all to the state-owned restaurant for dinner.
"I won't go. I'll go home and cook something to eat. My Chunbao is still at home." Qin Rong wanted to go back.
Li Shuping held her back and said, "After we eat, just pack some food for Chunbao to take back."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
It would have been fine if she just ate it, but she also had to pack it up to take back for Chunbao. She felt really embarrassed to have to eat and take it at the same time.
Li Shuping: "What are you embarrassed about? You've been busy helping me move for most of the day. Let's go, let's go."
Going to the state-owned restaurant, Li Shuping ordered shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised pork with potatoes, braised carp, braised tofu, braised eggplant, and tomato and egg soup.
Li Shuping went to the counter to order the dishes, and when each dish was served, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Aunt Li, why did you order so many dishes? Even a banquet can't be this good." He Shuai swallowed dryly.
The driver looked at the table full of delicious food, swallowed his saliva and thought: This trip is worth it, even if it is just helping people move for free, it is worth it.
But they didn't do it for free. After moving the people, they gave him and He Shuai two dollars each.
Qin Rong and Qin Ye's mouths were drooling like crazy.
Qin Rong hadn't seen so many dishes on the dinner table for many years.
Qin Ye had never seen so many dishes on the table.
They are now feeling better and can eat six dishes in one meal with Aunt Li/Sister Li.
