Before the person who delivered the gas stove arrived, Chen Man began to clean up the clutter in the main room.
There were a lot of things in the main room, but it was just junk. Lots of cardboard and plastic bottles. There were also some old furniture, like electric fans and kettles.
Chen Man cleaned up everything, stacking the recyclables neatly in the yard. She put the non-recyclables into the pig feed bags she'd brought down from upstairs and tossed them into the village trash can later.
There were so many things and they were so messy that she had to wait until the person who delivered the gas stove came to clear out a corner.
The gas stove is also placed in this corner.
Early the next morning.
Seven or eight people came to the village at once, wearing Liberation shoes, straw hats, carrying tools and ladders on their shoulders.
"Uncle Yong, you guys came so early."
Uncle Yong smiled brightly and responded to her, "Don't get out of the sun early in the morning. The sun is strong at noon, so you should rest more."
Chen Man didn't ask any more questions, thinking that the person Xu Junyang introduced to her wouldn't bully a girl like her and do anything sneaky. Although the money was calculated by the day, the weather was really too hot now, so she deserved to rest a little longer.
"It was really too sunny at noon. Thank you for your hard work."
The house behind was being demolished, and the tiles and wood that were removed were placed in the soil behind my house.
There was a ping-pong sound.
Chen Man stood on the side of the road and took a look. There was nothing interesting to see.
She continued to tidy up the main room. Actually, cleaning, while a bit tiring, was also quite relaxing.
It’s a great sense of accomplishment to see a dirty and messy place become neat and clean.
Zhang Xiaona suddenly appeared from outside the door with a smile, "Are you packing?"
Chen Man was squatting on the ground sorting things. When she heard her voice, she looked up with a smile: "Yes, there are too many unwanted things in the house."
"Old people are like that. They keep everything they want and don't want at home, and over time it becomes a garbage dump. I don't like to mess with that. It's useless anyway, and after a day or two it's back to the same old mess. My son has a lot of toys too, and they're scattered everywhere."
The two chatted for a few minutes, and Chen Man brought her a chair, and she sat at the door to play games.
Xu Jiaxuan was picking flowers in the yard, neither crying nor making a fuss.
It was very hot at noon, so the workers in the backyard went back to rest for two or three hours before coming back to continue working.
By the evening, Chen Man had cleaned out the main room and dismantled the back room.
Everyone else went back, but the leader, Uncle Yong, stayed behind and took out a piece of paper and pen from his pocket to confirm the style of the building again and chat about some small details of the subsequent construction.
Chen Man discovered that Uncle Yong's paintings were quite good and looked very realistic.
"Uncle Yong, your drawing is quite realistic. Did you learn it specifically?"
Uncle Yong smiled innocently, but also with a hint of pride. "I didn't have the chance to learn these things. I figured them out on my own. Mobile phones are so convenient nowadays. I like to read these when I have free time."
Chen Man smiled and praised him, "Uncle Yong, if you were born now, you would probably have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University."
Uncle Yong laughed heartily. "Hey, Tsinghua or Peking University, he's not going to be able to get into any university, but getting into a university should be no problem. My son only scored 593 on the college entrance exam last year. What a shame! If he had scored a few dozen more points, it would have been a real relief. Haha."
"Wow, 593 points! That's amazing."
Uncle Yong continued to talk at this point. Chen Man was always a good listener. Not only could she listen attentively, she could also agree with him.
She always felt that she couldn't let down other people's enthusiasm for sharing. Perhaps sharing other people's joy was also a way for them to express their emotions and gain satisfaction, which was not a common way for them to do so.
In this way, her listening also becomes valuable.
The bathroom was gone, which made Chen Man very distressed.
It’s easy to handle by myself, but it’s inconvenient for my grandma.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
Xiaolang·Man: Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the county town? Are you going tomorrow?
Zhang Xiaona didn't reply for a long time, probably because she was playing games.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Man finally received a reply.
Zhang Xiaona: Go.
In the morning, when Chen Man was still preparing breakfast for her grandmother, Zhang Xiaona came with her son.
I dressed up nicely and put on makeup.
"Why are you here so early? I haven't packed yet."
Zhang Xiaona sighed, "You have to be early, otherwise it will be too hot at noon. Hurry up, I'll wait for you."
Chen Man quickened her pace, cleared the dishes, and greeted her grandmother.
I went upstairs, changed my clothes quickly and came down.
"Let's go, how do we get to the county town?"
Zhang Xiaona stuffed her phone into her bag and yelled at her son, "Xu Jiaxuan, don't get down on the ground!"
He walked over and picked him up from the ground, then said to Chen Man.
"Ride your motorcycle to the town and take the bus. Hey, my motorcycle needs to be charged, so I can't ride that far."
Chen Man got on the flying car again.
It takes a little over an hour to get from home to the county without any delays.
Chen Man was not familiar with the county town. The only thing she remembered was that when she first came here, she took a taxi from the train station to the bus station, and then the bus took her back to the train station.
Two people and a child started strolling around the county town.
We found a restaurant and had a bowl of special rice noodles, which was paid for by Chen Man.
After eating, I feel more energetic.
Zhang Xiaona rushed to pay for the milk tea. A cup of milk tea cost 18 yuan, which was more expensive than breakfast.
"I just came here to get some fresh air. I don't have anything to buy. I already had my milk tea. What do you want to buy?"
Zhang Xiaona held her son who was drinking yogurt in one hand and held a cup of milk tea in the other.
Chen Man took out her cell phone, searched for the word "pet", found a pet supplies store, and started navigating.
