Chapter 30: Settling Down (IV)
Lu Xiaoxiao calmed herself down and prepared to go in for breakfast. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Aunt Cauliflower warmly inviting her to have breakfast. Her attitude was much more enthusiastic than yesterday. It seemed that the captain had come back and told her about the temporary workers. No matter who from the captain's family went to the city, it could be said that it changed that person's fate of working hard in the fields, which was a great thing for their family.
After breakfast, the team leader took him and Wang Gang to the brigade to handle the house transfer procedures, while his three sons went to the courtyard to repair the wall first.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the brigade, she first paid 60 yuan, then signed something similar to a modern real estate certificate, and registered her household registration in Tianshui Village. The brigade stamped the certificate, and from then on the courtyard belonged to her.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the courtyard with Uncle Wang and the others, holding the newly issued property certificate. She really couldn't believe that the courtyard had changed completely in just a short while in the morning. The previously dilapidated roof was repaired with thatch, the courtyard wall was raised half a meter with earth bricks, and the weeds in the yard were cleared. Now the captain's three sons were repairing the toilet. Although there is strength in numbers, the speed was too fast.
Lu Xiaoxiao stood in the middle of the yard and suddenly wanted to shout, "Sister, I also have a house."
Before she could cheer herself up, she heard the voices of Aunt Caihua and her three daughters-in-law, so she turned around and saw Aunt Caihua and the others walking into the yard with cleaning tools. Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao hurried over to greet them, "Aunt, why are you here?"
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Aunt Caihua replied, "We are here to help you clean. It must be very dirty after being uninhabited for so long. You, a little kid, can't do it. We will come together to clean it for you so that you can feel comfortable when you move in."
After hearing what Aunt Caihua said, Lu Xiaoxiao felt very relieved. No matter why Aunt Caihua and the others came to help, she should say thank you first.
Three hours later, with everyone's efforts, the courtyard was finally tidied up.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the newly renovated yard and smiled with satisfaction, while the captain's family looked envious.
Nowadays, families generally do not separate their families. It is very crowded for a large family to live together. Several brothers each have their own room, and a family of four or five people squeezed into one room is very uncomfortably living.
How could they not be envious when they see her living alone in such a big yard? But envy is envy, because it's your fault that you don't have a capable uncle.
After the group walked out of the yard together, they planned to go to the captain's house for lunch first. When they arrived at the captain's house, Liu Xiaofeng had already prepared the meal. Cooking is not so troublesome now. Usually, you just cook a pot of rice porridge, stew some vegetables, and have a bowl of soybean paste with green onions or a bowl of pickles. Otherwise, how can one person prepare the meal for so many people?
After dinner, the captain's eldest son Liu Baozhu took her and Wang Gang to the carpenter's house to buy furniture. After entering the door, Lu Xiaoxiao saw a man in his fifties smoking a pipe, and he seemed not to notice their arrival.
Liu Baozhu saw the third uncle smoking there, so he walked up to him and said, "Third uncle, this is a new educated youth in the village. She came to buy furniture from you. See if you have made what she wants."
After hearing what Wang Baozhu said, Lu Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, I want four kang cabinets, two kang tables, a cupboard, a table with six stools, two vegetable wash basins, a wash basin, a foot basin, and two wooden buckets for fetching water."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the third uncle looked at Lu Xiaoxiao in surprise before speaking: "The things you want are common, I have them all here, do you want to take them away now?"
After hearing what the third uncle said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "They are all taken away now. Uncle, please calculate how much it costs."
In the end, the things Lu Xiaoxiao wanted were sold for thirty yuan. In Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes, these things were really cheap, but she could only think about it in her heart and dared not say it out loud.
Nowadays, the centimeters earned by a large family in the countryside in a year can only be exchanged for 100 yuan at most, except for the money used to exchange for food. This money is not only for the family's annual expenses, but also for the wedding gifts and dowries. If you accidentally get sick, the money will not be enough.
So every penny should be broken down into several parts and used in different ways. If you dare to say that thirty yuan is a cheap price, you are just asking for trouble.
There will be another update in the afternoon. Thank you for your recommendations, little cuties.
