Chapter 12 Going to Sister Zhu’s House to Pick Furniture…
Chapter 12
Lin Mujin was also packing up her belongings. She threw away some of them, and what was left was pitifully small.
A few pieces of underwear, two sets of spring and autumn clothes, two pairs of shoes, a pair of small cloth shoes and a pair of sneakers bought a few days ago. The rest are not wanted.
Besides clothes, there are also bedding, but I will not move them for now as I still need to sleep at night.
But she wasn't going to take it anymore.
The quilt cover is almost broken into pieces after washing, and some places are transparent.
The bedding was made several years ago and is not soft at all, it is very hard.
dislike!
Now that he has money, he feels more confident and dares to say this.
The most important things are her textbooks and writing supplies, which cannot be lost.
In fact, there are not many textbooks left because most of them have been sold as scrap.
Whether it is an old tenement building or a subdivided flat, where is the space to put it?
"Ajin, don't you want these anymore?" Cousin Lin pointed at the clothes pushed on the ground.
Lin Mujin nodded, "No."
Cousin Lin said nothing and went to pick out a few clothes. "I'll keep them for rags and mops."
While picking out clothes, she kept saying, "We don't have the skills anymore. In the past, grandmas wouldn't throw away clothes. They would keep them to make shoes."
Lin Muli interjected from behind the curtain, "Brother, can you make shoes?"
Lin Mujin rolled her eyes. "My brother made leather shoes, and my sister said cloth shoes."
Then I asked my cousin, "Sister, how much does it cost to make a set of bedding?"
Cousin Lin calculated, "The mattress needs two kilograms of cotton, the quilt needs about one kilogram, plus the sheets and quilt cover, so it's at least a hundred yuan. And that's if you buy cotton. If you buy polyester, it's even more expensive."
Lin Mujin reacted and said, yes, Dacron (polyester) is more expensive now, "I prefer cotton." It has nothing to do with the price.
Cousin Lin whispered, "I'll buy you polyester ones from now on."
Lin Mujin was a little speechless...she was telling the truth.
Forget it, I stopped arguing with my cousin and went to the other side of the curtain. "Xiao Li, let me see what you packed."
Of course, it helps to declutter.
Because it was too crowded, people were kicked out.
After taking care of my younger brother, there was also my uncle. He wanted to take away all the junk, but that was not possible. Fortunately, my cousin helped me pick.
The old man also knew that many of the things he had were useless and would serve no purpose other than taking up space, so he simply went to bed to avoid being bothered by them.
While packing, Lin Mujin asked her cousin, "Brother, an ordinary sewing machine won't work for sewing leather goods. I need a special model. Is it expensive?"
Cousin Lin glanced at her and replied, "An ordinary sewing machine definitely won't work. Making leather bags and shoes requires a lot of machines, including leather scrapers, skiving machines, trimming machines, flatbed machines, small-mouth high-speed sewing machines, medium-mouth high-speed sewing machines, large-mouth high-speed sewing machines, high-column sewing machines, and so on."
Lin Mujin was shocked, "So many!"
She thought an industrial sewing machine would be enough, but it turns out that different industries often have different worlds.
Taken for granted.
Brother Lin continued, "These machines take up a lot of space, and they're not cheap. They cost at least two to three thousand yuan, and the expensive ones can exceed ten thousand."
Lin Mujin almost made a tactical retreat, but that was too expensive.
Brother Lin rubbed her hair.
Lin Mujin huffed, "You didn't even wash your hands."
And she washed her hair!
Brother Lin laughed in a very scoundrel way, and laughed very loudly.
Uncle raised his hand and patted him on the back, "Don't bully Jin."
This time it was Lin Mujin's turn to laugh, and she even made a face in return.
That night, Lin Mujin heard the creaking sound of the bed again. It seemed that she was not the only one who couldn't sleep.
——————
Lin Mujin goes to bed late and wakes up early, mainly because she has something on her mind and is mentally excited.
Almost everyone in my family is like this. It seems they have all been suffering from subdivided flats for a long time.
"Cousin, boil the remaining eggs. They'll be a morning snack, otherwise they'll be hard to get."
Eggs are very afraid of being bumped.
Cousin Lin agreed, "Okay. Eat more so you have the strength to move."
After dinner, cousin Lin cleaned up, Lin Muli went to school, and Lin Mujin and cousin Lin went to the new house with some simple luggage.
On the way, Lin Mujin sent the manuscript to the newspaper, and cousin Lin called to ask for leave.
The two of them planned to go to the new house first, because it was too early and it would be inconvenient to go to the landlord's door.
Lin Mujin bumped into the beautiful woman who was about to go downstairs.
Because the corridor was narrow, Lin Mujin immediately leaned sideways and pulled in her stomach, trying to move her luggage as close to the wall as possible to make room.
It turned out that the other party was also very polite. He stood there instead of walking down, and moved slightly to the side to make way for the corridor entrance, meaning to let them go up first.
Lin Mujin knew she couldn't hesitate at this moment, otherwise it would waste time for both parties. She quickly quickened her pace and went upstairs, turning her head to remind her cousin. "Brother, take a few quick steps."
As he approached the beauty, he nodded to express his gratitude.
This little episode passed.
"Brother, this is the room." Lin Mujin opened the door and let her cousin in. "It's very bright, isn't it? It's a north-south layout."
Put the luggage in a corner of the living room.
Cousin Lin did the same, and then began to tour the rooms. "It's quite big, a thousand a month is worth it."
Lin Mujin arranged, "This bedroom is bigger, you three can live in it when the time comes."
Cousin Lin said, "What if there is no three-tiered bunk bed?"
He gestured, "There's still room for a small bed."
Lin Mujin frowned. "Then there's no place to put our feet in this room. If we really don't have a three-story bunk bed, we can just put a sofa bed in the living room. We can use it as a sofa during the day and fold it down to make it a bed at night."
Cousin Lin disagreed, "Furniture like that isn't cheap."
Lin Mujin touched his chin and said, "Let's go to the landlord and see. Brother, besides the bunk bed, is there anything else your room needs? I want to see if there is a desk."
She was ready to catch a sheep and herd it.
The brother and sister had a long discussion, and then cousin Lin went to see the kitchen and bathroom, and they were both very satisfied.
This condition is much better than subdivided flats.
It’s past 8:40, so I can go find the landlord.
Lin Mujin led the way again. The landlord told her the address, including how to get there.
It’s really close, just go straight and turn left.
"The second one is this one."
What she saw before her was a three-story private housing estate, more like a small Western-style building.
When will she be able to live in a house like this?
I went up and rang the doorbell, and soon Sister Zhu came out.
Lin Mujin greeted her with a smile, "Good morning, Sister Zhu. I hope we didn't disturb you."
Sister Zhu was very enthusiastic, "Come in quickly."
Lin Mujin half-turned sideways and introduced, "This is my brother."
Sister Zhu also smiled and said, "You are here to pick out the bunk beds. I will take you to the warehouse."
Sister Zhu took the brother and sister into the basement, where a lot of things were placed in a mess.
Ms. Zhu introduced, "Some of the furniture here was bought by the tenants themselves, some was discarded when they moved out because it was too heavy, and some was discarded by my family."
The first thing Lin Mujin saw was a washing machine.
"Sister Zhu, this washing machine...?"
Sister Zhu felt very sorry, "It broke, and I just moved to a new house so I didn't repair it and bought a new one."
Lin Mujin thought of the recycling station that sold typewriters. "Sister Zhu, can I take it in to have it repaired?"
Sister Zhu nodded readily, "Sure, I'll give it to you as soon as you're done."
But he still added, "If you cancel the lease, you have to leave it to me."
Lin Mujin nodded, "Of course!"
I gave my cousin Lin a wink and started picking!
