But today, Ah Chou was nagging him to buy a recliner, so he couldn't help asking. He also wanted to go out and bask in the sun. He was really depressed after not seeing the sun for half a year. It would have been fine if he was discouraged before, but now he wanted to go out and bask in the sun. He wanted to see the blue sky and white clouds. He also wanted to see what this place that Ah Chou called home looked like.
"Why are you asking this?" Ah Chou was startled, then continued to massage his waist. He said hurriedly, "It's enough. I've been a slave in the palace for so many years. Naturally, I have some savings. Besides... Miss Duan also left me some money, which is enough for us to spend for four or five years. Don't worry about it."
"Oh." Zhong Mingwei responded dully. He said nothing more. The tea had gone cold. Ah Chou put the bowl of tea on the tray, replacing the empty bowl of noodles. Zhong Mingwei pouted and sipped the overly fragrant tea in the bowl.
After applying the medicine, it was already dark, and Ah Chou returned to his room and opened the purse. He counted the silver and money inside three times, and it was always three taels and seven cents. Ah Chou sighed and tucked the purse under his pillow again.
The house needs to be repaired and the kang needs to be built. The winter in Ningguta is the longest. When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, we will definitely not be able to go out for several months. So we have to store some food, fish, meat, etc., as well as medicine. Zhong Mingwei, with a body like this, naturally cannot be without medicine. The family has to prepare some medicine for emergencies. Zhong Mingwei doesn't even have a thick piece of clothing. Oh, and we have to buy two mats. After the kang is built, we have to lay them...
Money is needed everywhere! Ah Chou tossed and turned on the straw mat, crying silently:
Ahhhhh!
Grandma Chen, Grandma Chen, you have to find me a job quickly!
The third day of the sixth month in the thirty-second year of Jiasheng
Ningguta.
After breakfast, Ah Chou went down the mountain. This time she did not carry the bamboo basket. She planned to go to the market to buy a reclining chair. If she could carry it, she would just carry the reclining chair back. It was certainly inconvenient to carry a bamboo basket. Just thinking about Lao Jiang, Ah Chou was still uneasy and prayed in her heart that she would never meet him again.
When passing by Jixian Bookstore, Ah Chou slowed down his pace and glanced inside. He wanted to go in and ask if Grandma Chen was there, but he didn't feel comfortable doing it. He had just asked for a job yesterday, and it was too hasty for her to come in and ask today.
I saw a carpentry shop at the market last time, but I just wandered around outside and didn’t dare go in. This time, Achou came in.
"Miss, what do you want to buy?" The shopkeeper came up to me with a smile.
"I want to buy a rocking chair," Ah Chou looked around but didn't see anything. He was a little anxious and gestured to the shopkeeper, "The kind you can lie down in the sun, the kind that is mostly used by the elderly."
"There is a rocking chair. Look here, young lady." The shopkeeper was busy leading Ah Chou inside. When he reached the corner, he smiled and said to Ah Chou, "Young lady, you came at the right time. There is only one rocking chair left in the store. If you come later, it will be gone."
Ah Chou looked at the rattan rocking chair and found it to be of the right size and good-looking. She was quite satisfied with it and sat on it to try rocking it a few times. The rocking chair was quite wide, and it was wide enough for two people of her stature to sit in it. Ah Chou thought about Zhong Mingwei's stature and became more and more satisfied. She tilted her head and asked the shopkeeper, "Can the backrest of this chair be put down? Your back will definitely get tired if you sit like this for a long time."
"Of course you can, young lady, you stand up first," the shopkeeper said hurriedly, squatting down and saying to Ah Chou, "Young lady, look, there is a mechanism on the back of the chair. Twist it outwards and the back of the chair can be put down. Look, that's it."
As the shopkeeper spoke, he twisted the mechanism, and the chair back slowly lowered. The shopkeeper patted the chair back and said to Ah Chou, "Girl, why don't you lie down and try?"
