Chapter 274 Salesperson

Gu Cheng took off his military jacket and hung it on a hook on the wall, then took Gu Yanyan to wash his hands.

There were only five mangoes in the bag, but they were quite heavy, and each mango was almost as big as a palm.

Liu Yinyin only picked one mango, washed it, peeled it, cut it into pieces, placed it on a plate, and then put a few toothpicks on it.

She tasted it and found the mango quite delicious, very sweet and juicy.

Gu Yanyan obviously also likes eating mangoes, and most of the mango went into his stomach.

While eating, Liu Yinyin asked Gu Cheng: "Can I exchange a bicycle ticket with someone? I want to buy a bicycle."

Otherwise, you have to walk for most of the day to go anywhere, which is really inconvenient.

"Okay." Gu Cheng answered straightforwardly, "I'll ask tomorrow and I should be able to get it."

The family really needs a bicycle.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and smiled, "Sister-in-law Guilan came over this afternoon, and I heard from her that...the supply and marketing cooperative on the island is looking for new employees?"

Gu Cheng looked up at her and said, "You want to work at the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Liu Yinyin nodded: "I kind of want to go. Working in the supply and marketing cooperative will make it convenient for me to buy things in the future."

The main reason is...it's boring for her to stay at home every day, so going out to work can help her kill some time.

Gu Cheng said thoughtfully, "There is something I haven't had time to tell you. There are many family members and children accompanying the troops on the island. These children can't just play around everywhere every day."

"The army decided to build a school for all the children to go to school. The location was already chosen. It was a few temporary houses built for family members. After a little renovation, it would be no problem to use them as classrooms."

If there is a school, there will naturally be a need for teachers. Gu Cheng originally thought that Liu Yinyin would be more willing to be a teacher in the school.

After all, she has experience in this field.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

I haven't heard Ma Guilan mention anything about the school, so I guess the news hasn't leaked out yet.

She naturally understood what Gu Cheng meant.

However, Liu Yinyin was not very interested in being a teacher. When she first arrived in Liujia Village, she took over the school affairs because she could not find any suitable candidate in the village.

But the situation is different in the army. There are many relatives coming from the city. They are highly educated and understand the teaching of this era better.

These people are more suitable to be teachers than Liu Yinyin.

Liu Yinyin said, "I don't want to be a teacher. If I have the opportunity, it would be nice to work in a supply and marketing cooperative."

Liu Yinyin wanted to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and Gu Cheng naturally supported her: "Okay, I'll ask for you later."

Liu Yinyin blinked: "But...if I go to work, what will happen to Yanyan?"

The kid is too young. It is definitely not appropriate to send him to school, and it is not appropriate to bring him to work.

This is not something that can be done in just one or two days.

Gu Cheng said without hesitation: "He is not a child anymore. There should be many children of the same age as him in the family compound. Let them play together."

It's safe in the army, and there's no need to worry about bad guys coming in.

Liu Yinyin's mouth twitched: "...He is not even three years old."

How can we let such a young child play outside all day?

Besides, if there is no adult watching over him, what if he gets bullied by other children?

Liu Yinyin was not so open-minded. She thought for a moment and suggested, "You just said that there are many children of the same age as Yanyan in the family compound. In your opinion... can the army build another nursery to take care of these children who are not yet of school age?"

There are nurseries these days, when they used to live in the county town.

There is also a nursery in the compound.

It's still better to keep an eye on the children to feel at ease.

Gu Cheng was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I'll mention this to my superiors later. It's not impossible."

Liu Yinyin added: "Look around you to see if there are other comrades in arms who are in the same situation as you. There is strength in numbers."

They are all high-ranking cadres with good family conditions.

If there were a daycare center to help take care of the child, I would probably be willing to spend the money.

It gets dark slowly on the island, so we finish dinner.

Gu Cheng took the mother and son out to visit the carpenter and order a few more pieces of furniture.

Liu Yinyin pondered over it for an entire afternoon and came up with a lot of ideas.

First, the living room is missing a shoe cabinet, a five-drawer cabinet, and a larger dining table.

There is only one small table in the living room now, which is just enough for the three of them to eat.

If you don't buy a big table, you won't have anywhere to eat when guests come to your house in the future.

For convenience, you can buy a table that can be put away when not needed.

In addition, Liu Yinyin also wants to buy a tea table to place cups, teapots and so on.

Next is the bedroom. There are three bedrooms and a study in the house.

Not to mention the study room, the other bedrooms, beds, cabinets and other things must be prepared first.

The room she and Gu Cheng slept in was relatively large. In addition to the most basic bed and cabinets, Liu Yinyin also bought two bedside cabinets and a dressing table......

Having a closet alone is not enough, Liu Yinyin likes to collect some scattered things.

It would be better to add a five-drawer chest in the room, otherwise there will be no place to put things.

As for the kitchen...the kitchen at home is quite big, so she can put a smaller cabinet there for her to store food.

When we got to the carpenter's house, Liu Yinyin gestured with her hands and said a lot of things...

The carpenter was an old man in his fifties. After listening to Liu Yinyin's words, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Cheng.

It seemed that she wanted to hear his ideas. After all, Liu Yinyin wanted a lot of things, and he was afraid that Gu Cheng would not agree.

At this time, men are usually the ones in charge.

Gu Cheng turned to look at Liu Yinyin and asked her, "Anything else?"

Liu Yinyin shook her head slightly: "That's all for now."

I'll think of it later, it's not a big deal anyway.

Gu Cheng nodded and said to the carpenter, "Master, please calculate how much money we still need."

He had already ordered some furniture from the carpenter and paid for it.

I added a few more things today.

The carpenter took paper and pencil and calculated for Gu Cheng to see. In the end, the amount he calculated was quite a lot......

Gu Cheng gave the money without blinking.

The carpenter saw Gu Cheng's clothes and knew that he was an officer in the army. He couldn't help but say, "It's good for you to be soldiers. You will love your wives."

It's not something most people can do to spend such a huge amount of money without feeling any regret.

Gu Cheng smiled faintly and said, "The money you make is to be spent."

There's no need to feel bad about spending money on your wife and children.

The carpenter praised sincerely: "You cadres have a high level of awareness."

After counting the money, the carpenter said to them, "There are too many people ordering furniture recently. I can only take them one by one. The items you want may be delivered later."
