When I went out, I glanced to the left of Yi Qingqing. Zheng Xiaolong was sweeping the floor at the door of his house, but his eyes kept looking at the heroine's house opposite. I guess the heroine was also in the house.
Qian Lailai's door was open, but he was not there.
Chen Zhihe was also cleaning the house.
Finally, Yi Qingqing glanced at the door opposite. It was locked and no one knew where it had gone.
Suddenly she felt something falling on her head. She looked up and saw a bony hand flashing between the tiles on the roof opposite.
"Yun Guyuan, are you up there?" Yi Qingqing shouted.
Yun Guyuan heard the voice and stuck his head out, "Well, it might rain tonight, I'm picking up tiles, you..."
"Really? You're really awesome. I've also asked someone to help me pick up tiles and build a stove. If it really rains, even if I'm in a hurry, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to fetch water," Yi Qingqing said, then left with the bucket.
As she walked, she was thinking, Yun Guyuan is simply amazing, why is he just a background character like her in the book?
In the novel, it did rain on the second night after the heroine arrived at the educated youth point. The roof looked intact, but at night it rained heavily outside and lightly inside.
The heroine has space in the supermarket and can hide in it, but Yi Qingqing doesn't have it, so she hurriedly finds someone to help pick up tiles. Unexpectedly, there is someone here who can observe the astronomical phenomena.
Yun Guyuan looked at the energetic and vigorous figure walking with the wind and shook his head. He not only knew how to pick up tiles, but also knew how to build a stove. It seemed that he didn't need to help.
The old carpenter who was repairing the door heard what they said, looked up at the sky and muttered, "It doesn't look like it's going to rain."
Not long after Yi Qingqing left, Zheng Xiaolong finally found an excuse and knocked on the door opposite. "Mengxue, I saw Yi Qingqing brought back a lot of things. Do you want to go with us to ask her?"
Li Mengxue, who was hiding in the supermarket eating instant noodles, heard the noise outside, looked towards Yi Qingqing's room, and agreed.
They called Chen Zhihe and went to the front yard.
Not long after they left, Liu Chunxing and Wang Lingling also came out.
"Comrade Yun, can you help Wang Lingling and me pick up the tiles after you're done? We don't know how to do it." Liu Chunxing shouted to the roof.
“…”
"Comrade Yun?"
“…”
"Forget it, Chun Xing, we are not familiar with him. Why don't we go ask Yi Qingqing and see who she asks to help pick up the tiles? We can just ask someone for help," said Wang Lingling. Although this man is good-looking, he doesn't seem easy to talk to.
Liu Chunxing clenched the corner of her clothes and stopped shouting. Instead, she said to Wang Lingling, "Wait a minute, we also need to repair our door."
Liu Chunxing pulled her to the old carpenter and asked, "Uncle, how much does it cost to repair this door? Can I exchange it for grain?"
The old carpenter knocked loudly with his hands. "Ah? What did you say?"
Liu Chunxing glanced around and raised her voice, "I ask, how much does it cost to repair a door?"
"What did you say? My ears are not very good and I can't hear you!" The old carpenter pointed to his ears.
Liu Chunxing's face turned pale. What happened today? Only her voice was pleasing to the ear. No one wanted to listen to her voice?
Wang Lingling felt a little embarrassed. This old man obviously didn't want to pay attention to them. "Forget it, let's go ask Yi Qingqing. She's quite enthusiastic and will tell us."
Liu Chunxing was absolutely unwilling to get close to Yi Qingqing. She always felt that Yi Qingqing had a pair of dark eyes that made people feel uneasy, but she couldn't say the reason, so she could only be pulled away by Wang Lingling.
Yi Qingqing came to the well, holding one end of the rope in her hand, and threw the bucket into the well, but the bucket floated on the water and no matter how hard she tried, only half of the bucket was full.
She thought that this bucket of water was not light, and it would take a lot of strength to carry it back and forth. For this reason, she even took a strength pill, but not just for carrying this small half bucket of water.
She was trying to figure out how to fill a bucket of water at once, and it took her a while to realize that she could only fill it up at once by throwing the bucket upside down.
The effect of the powerful pills was indeed outstanding. She lifted the rope and felt that the full bucket of water was not much heavier than the empty bucket. She pulled it up in a few strokes and her body was full of strength.
"Comrade Yi!"
Hearing someone shouting, Yi Qingqing turned around and saw Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Zhihe. The heroine was also there. "What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he was muttering in his heart, he was worthy of being the heroine's first lover, he was very special to the heroine, calling other girls lesbians and calling the heroine "Mengxue".
But it seemed that she shouldn't call Yun Guyuan by his name? In this era, men and women of the same age usually call each other comrades, right? It was a sin, a sin. Fortunately, she hadn't called him that many times, so it was not too late to change.
"Comrade Yi Qingqing, we just want to ask you where you got those tables, chairs, bowls, pots, mats and so on." Zheng Xiaolong stopped three meters away from Yi Qingqing, and implemented the principle of keeping a distance from everyone except the heroine.
Yi Qingqing had expected this, "Well, the straw mats were exchanged with Aunt Dongmei, the wife of the village head. She still has some, you can go if you want them. The tables, chairs, basins and bowls were exchanged with the old carpenter, the one who is repairing my door now, but he doesn't take jobs from outsiders, so if you want them, you have to find a middleman in the village. By the way, Comrade Yun Guyuan said it will rain tonight, so I also found a bricklayer, but he will come after work. Aunt Guihua will come by later, you can just ask her if you want something, she is very enthusiastic and has a wide network of contacts."
After hearing Yi Qingqing talk about so many people in a row, Li Mengxue and the others were convinced of her communication skills.
"I feel like you've already taken root in the new countryside after only being here for one day. You've accomplished so many things in just a short time this morning?" Zheng Xiaolong looked at her with some admiration.
He used to think that Yi Qingqing could only live a glamorous life relying on her family, and that she could not compare to an independent and strong new-age woman like Li Mengxue. He didn't expect that she was quite capable.
"I admire you!" Chen Zhihe bowed in a funny way.
"Thank you, this is for you." Li Mengxue stuffed a small round mirror the size of a palm into Yi Qingqing's hand. Among the girls so far, she had the best impression of Yi Qingqing. She could tell from the theft incident yesterday that she was a smart person. Most importantly, she had the helpful qualities of a person of this era, but she also didn't like to take advantage of others. She was a rare generous person, so she was willing to be friends with her.
Yi Qingqing took a look and said exaggeratedly: "This is too beautiful! I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money. I really like it, but I can't let you spend money. How much is it? I'll exchange it with you!"
"No need, what you just said helped me a lot. This is a thank you gift. Don't worry, this mirror is small and is made from scraps. It's very cheap," Li Mengxue explained.
"That won't do," Yi Qingqing forced a dollar into her hand. She really needed the small mirror because she didn't bring it with her. She just took a quick look at it and saw that she was covered in dirt and looked really ugly.
However, this mirror was a gift often given when buying things in Taobao stores in the past. In this era, the pattern on the back is indeed bright and beautiful.
