Chapter 14: Moving up and down is very tiring...
Chapter 14
Lin Mujin had just finished cleaning the house and was resting when she heard her cousin Lin's voice and knew that her family was coming.
Hurry out to greet them and help with the luggage.
After settling in a bit, Cousin Lin began to visit each room.
Lin Mujin looked at the large and small bags on the ground and said, "Sister, you've brought all the bedding here. Is there anything left in the subdivided flat?"
Cousin Lin admired the room while looking at it, and did not forget to answer, "No more, after throwing away so much, how much can there be? Besides, there weren't many to begin with, it's just that the bedding takes up too much space."
Lin Mujin knew that bedding shouldn't be thrown away, at least not until new bedding is ready. "Sister, please make the bed for Uncle so he can get some rest. My brother and I will go get the furniture from the landlord."
Uncle waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm not tired, just take care of yourselves."
Lin Mujin and her cousin went downstairs. When they passed the tailor shop, she asked her cousin to wait for a while while she went in and asked a few questions.
"Boss, I'm a new tenant on the third floor. I'd like to know how much it would cost to make a quilt? We can provide the materials ourselves."
The boss replied, "Fifteen dollars."
Lin Mujin saw an unused sewing machine and asked, "Then let's sew it ourselves. How much does it cost to use the sewing machine?"
The boss probably didn't expect this to happen, and there was no precedent. He thought for a while and said, "Thirty dollars a day."
Lin Mujin added, "We'll just use it for an hour every night. Five yuan is fine, and we'll bring our own wire."
The boss disagreed, "Five dollars is too little, it should be at least ten dollars."
Lin Mujin bargained and finally agreed on ten dollars for an hour and a half.
This one and a half hours can be divided into two or three days, because the sewing shop will be locked if it is too late.
Lin Mujin was very satisfied, and at the end she did not forget to ask where she could buy cheap cotton cloth and fabrics.
After getting the address, he didn't forget to put on some sweet words and gave him a good guy card.
Now we can only boast about it verbally, after all, we are too poor, and we will have to wait and see what happens in reality.
As soon as Lin Mujin came out, she started chattering to her cousin.
Cousin Lin hadn't thought about renting a sewing machine either. "I know how to use a sewing machine. I'll sew it when I buy some cloth."
Lin Mujin thought that this job was for her cousin, and she was not good at it, so she ruled it out.
I didn’t expect that cousin Lin was the real one who never showed his true face.
"Brother, let's go buy cloth this afternoon."
She wanted to sleep on new bedding as soon as possible.
Cousin Lin thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go take a look at some second-hand bicycles."
New bicycles are too expensive. Even inland ones cost more than 300 yuan. Imported ones are even more expensive, ranging from more than 500 yuan to more than 1,000 yuan.
Lin Mujin agreed, "You have to buy a bicycle."
The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they arrived at the landlord's house, where the pickup truck was parked outside the yard.
Sister Zhu welcomed them in, exchanged a few words and started moving the furniture.
Lin Mujin's small arms and legs definitely cannot be a main player and she can only assist on the sidelines.
None of these pieces of furniture are too light, and the sofa is the heaviest.
After the furniture was moved, Lin Mujin was sweating profusely, not to mention her cousin Lin, who was the main force, whose back was soaked with sweat.
Without taking a break, everyone got on the bus and Sister Zhu also wanted to go over.
Four wheels are faster than legs. I arrived downstairs of my rental building in less than two minutes.
Sister Zhu got out of the car and arranged, "Move the bed down from upstairs first."
Lin Mujin also meant this, "Get off first and then get on."
Then I heard Sister Zhu say, "I brought a toolbox. If it's hard to move, we'll dismantle it."
Fortunately, the two small beds were easy to move and did not need to be dismantled.
It becomes troublesome to move the bunk bed. It is difficult to move it whether it is upright or laid down, so we can only dismantle one layer.
With the tools this job is not difficult.
Cousin Lin nudged Lin Mujin and said, "I saw the washing machine."
Lin Mujin turned her head and whispered, "It's broken. I don't know if it can be repaired."
Cousin Lin asked, "Do we have to pay for the repairs ourselves?"
Lin Mujin gave her a "what do you think" look.
"Sister, is the water boiling upstairs?"
Cousin Lin nodded. "I've boiled water and made lunch, but there aren't many vegetables, just some pickles. Is there a vegetable market nearby?"
Lin Mujin pointed the way. "There are a lot of food shops over there. By the way, sister, did you quit your job smoothly?"
Cousin Lin pursed her lips and said, "My boss scolded me a few times and didn't pay me for the past few days. I left too suddenly, so they deserved to deduct my salary."
Lin Mujin patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry about your work."
Cousin Lin took a deep breath and said, "I know. I'll look for a job after I've sorted out my family situation."
Lin Mujin stopped chatting with her cousin, turned around and went upstairs, carrying a kettle and a few bowls.
Pour water for Sister Zhu, the driver and my cousin.
"We don't have that many cups at home, so we can only use bowls. Don't mind." Lin Mujin still rinsed the bowls with water in front of them.
Cousin Lin was really thirsty, so he took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Lin Mujin poured him another half bowl and didn't let him drink any more.
Sister Zhu and the driver also finished their drinks and didn't ask for more.
Cousin Lin collected the bowls and took the kettle upstairs.
Lin Mujin walked over to Sister Zhu and chatted with her about which shop had delicious food, which shop had a bad reputation, which stall sold affordable vegetables, which second-hand bicycles were cheap, etc.
This is not the past life. You can search Baidu and ask artificial intelligence. This information is Sister Zhu's many years of life experience and is very valuable. It can help her family integrate into this place as quickly as possible, and most importantly, it can save money.
After Cousin Lin and the others dismantled the bunk bed, they started moving again.
Because the stairs were narrow, Lin Mujin couldn't even lend a hand.
I can only cheer you up in my heart.
However, she and her cousin were able to move the small desk, washing machine and stool.
The sofa was the last one to be moved because it was heavy, and Cousin Lin and his friends rested on one sofa per floor.
Because the stairs are narrow, the sofa needs to be lifted onto the stair railing.
Fortunately, the guardrail was also cut corners and was not too high, otherwise the sofa could not be moved in at all.
Sister Zhu and the driver didn't stay long and left quickly.
Lin Mujin saw her cousin slumped on the sofa.
Cousin Lin pushed him and said, "You're sweating all over. I'm going to boil some water. Go and take a shower. You've already got it all over the sofa."
Cousin Lin touched the sofa and said distressedly, "Such a good sofa is scratched all over. This cat really deserves a beating."
Cousin Lin stood up by supporting himself on the sofa, and went to take a shower with a kettle, basin, towel and soap.
Cousin Lin discussed with Lin Mujin, "Should we make a cover for the sofa?"
Lin Mujin had no objection, but said, "I'll ask my brother later if he can mend it to prevent the crack from getting bigger."
Cousin Lin clapped her hands and said, "That's right! Brother can sew leather, and this sofa is also made of leather."
Lin Mujin thought to herself, "I just realized this." "This sofa is big enough. If it were opened, it would become a large bed. It would definitely be comfortable to sleep on."
She was a little tempted, at least the sofa bed wouldn't be too hard.
She's had enough of sleeping on a hard bed, mainly because it hurts her butt.
This time, the new mattress must be thicker.
