Chapter 49 New Furniture
Liu Yunshuang has really thought about it seriously. Things will be very different next year. Everything will be different.
If I buy a big iron gate this year, it will be too conspicuous, which is not a good thing.
However, to the two children, it was a completely different story.
"Mom, I'm just saying that. There's no need for us to buy a big iron gate. It's so expensive.
When I am not busy anymore, I will go to the mountain to cut down some trees and use the poles we use to build sheds to make a new door. That is also possible."
"Yeah, Zhiqing is right, let's do it when we are not busy."
She knew that the two children wanted to comfort her and didn't want to spoil her fun.
In the evening, we didn’t sit down, but just ate at the stove.
It felt pretty good, and the kids were very satisfied with the meal.
In the remaining days, time is even more rushed.
Liu Yunshuang works at home every day, except making sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes.
There is still a small portion left, which I will put aside and roast later.
All the potatoes in the backyard have been dug up.
For fear of being seen, it was hung in the back garden instead of being placed in the front.
I also dried some potatoes, but not much.
This will be fine as long as the moisture is dry, there is no need to expose it to the sun too much.
All that’s left is to weave baskets and grow vegetables. The leafy vegetables at home should be eaten when they are ready, otherwise they will be wasted in a few days.
She also planted the green peppers and hot peppers that her third grandmother gave her. There were not many, just three seedlings, just enough for one seed in each pot.
The Xu family has been very busy recently. Xu Lanchun has been on various blind dates, sometimes one a day, sometimes one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
The production team was bustling with activity, with everyone talking about this matter.
Some people say that Xu Lanchun is eager to get married, while others say that she is doing it to prove her innocence.
There was no doubt that this must have been an idea of Old Lady Xu and the others, who wanted to clear her name! Maybe the "system" had some credit as well, who knows.
But it has nothing to do with her.
It was a gloomy day on August 6th of the Gregorian calendar.
After collecting the last batch of dried sweet potatoes, we are ready for the coming heavy rain.
If I remember correctly, it rained continuously for about a week.
Later, news came that the flood had broken the dam.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
Xu Zhiqing saw her raising her head with a dazed look on her face.
"Nothing, it looks like it's going to rain, Zhiqing, are you afraid~"
"What's there to be afraid of when it rains? I'm not afraid."
She smiled. Her daughter didn't know the details and thought it was just ordinary rain.
"Mom, mom~"
Xu Zhili ran back in a hurry, extremely excited.
"What's wrong, Zhili, speak slowly~"
The little guy was panting and his face was red.
"Uncle Dong, Uncle Dong is here~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Carpenter Dong entered the yard.
"Sister Yunshuang, your furniture is ready. I'll send it to you~"
"Hey, Brother Dong, come in quickly~"
Under normal circumstances, she needs to go and pull it herself, but they can deliver it to her, which is obviously taking care of her.
Behind, there were five people, some moving or carrying things, and none of them were empty-handed.
Moreover, Li Guofeng was among them.
"Sister Yunshuang, wherever you want to put it, we will put it directly for you."
She quickly came to her senses and agreed repeatedly.
"Put this cupboard in the kitchen, this tea cabinet in the west room, and the kang table in the room too~"
As she spoke, she went to take the small chair or something from the person behind her.
As per regulations, the cupboard was made larger than expected.
The remaining scraps were used to make six small stools, all of which are practical.
After everything was put away, Liu Yunshuang was delighted. Carpenter Dong's craftsmanship was really impeccable.
"Zhiqing, hurry up and pour some water for everyone."
"No, I have work to do.
It's going to rain, we have to send it over quickly.
Sister Yunshuang, please don't be polite."
Having said that, Carpenter Dong started to walk out.
"Oh, I didn't even let you drink my saliva. How inappropriate."
The rest of the people also waved their hands.
Li Guofeng was the last one walking, and when he passed by her, he whispered something.
"My things were taken by those two people, I'll give you half~"
"ah?"
Before she could ask, the other party left.
It's not easy for others, she won't accept it, and the family doesn't lack food.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
I guess Li Guofeng was thinking about the upcoming autumn harvest and didn't care too much about these things.
"Mom, come and see, this tea cabinet is so beautiful."
“Here I come.”
Soon, she put the matter behind her.
Carpenter Dong has very good skills and his workmanship is very fine.
This tea cabinet has two compartments in the middle.
There are two glass panels on top, which can be used to place teapots, cups, etc.
At the bottom is a door that pulls down, with a small round handle in the middle.
There is a door on each side, divided into two layers, which can hold a lot of things.
It was painted with light yellow varnish, which is very close to the color of the original wood.
Looking at the fresh and elegant, several children couldn't let it go, touching this and looking at that...
Xu Zhiqing still took a rag and wiped it clean carefully, then put everyone's drinking water bottles in.
"Mom, when we make some money next year, we'll buy a tea tray. Then we can use a handkerchief to cover it. It will look really nice."
"No, sister, we need to save money to replace the front door first."
Xu Zhiqing suddenly realized and said quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, then after replacing the door, we can buy the others."
Seeing the two children like this, she was very happy.
Put the kang table on the kang and wipe it as well.
"Where are the notebooks and pencils I bought earlier? Take them out and I'll teach you how to write."
"Writing?"
“Yes, if possible, you all should go to school next fall.
It’s good to learn something in advance.”
Xu Zhiqing was a little excited and asked her with an incredible look on her face.
"Mom, can I go too?"
"Of course, you are the eldest sister, you should go first.
If you have enough money next year, let Zhili go with you."
The money was certainly enough, but she couldn't say it clearly.
"Really? That's great.
My grandma said that it is useless for girls to study because they will get married in the future.
It’s a waste of money and it’s easy to have bad intentions.”
It's normal for Mrs. Xu to have such thoughts.
She loved Xu Lanchun so much that she didn't even let her go to school.
Although he had such high hopes for Xu Zhiwei, he was not prepared to let her go.
However, Xu Zhiwei went to school in her previous life.
It seems like it will be next year, maybe this is the benefit that the "system" has fought for her.
If she hadn't gone to school and gained some education, she wouldn't have been able to thrive so well later on.
“Now in our family, mom is the boss.
If you want to go, you can go to school.
What's wrong with my daughter? She is my dearest daughter.
It’s the same with my son.”
