After the house was built, Yun Yan asked the old carpenter to put all the custom-made furniture in it.
While she had some time, Yun Yan decided to go and see what the house looked like in the end. When Qian Qian heard that she was going to see the new house, she pestered her to go with her.
Yun Yan didn't care. She would come to see her sooner or later anyway, and it wasn't like she and her had a falling out and would never have anything to do with each other again.
The entrance to the new house was also paved with cobblestones, as per my own wishes, and the walls were covered with broken glass. When I pushed open the door and walked into the front yard, I saw a cobblestone floor. I could plant some flowers there later.
A clothes drying rack was made of bamboo next to the well, and the kitchen was also built according to my own requirements.
Walking into the living room and bedroom, the living room was relatively simple and there were no special requirements. However, when Qian Qian saw the glass windows installed in the living room, he found it a bit unacceptable and felt that Yun Yan had wasted money.
When installing the windows, Yunyan specially bought three glass windows, two in the living room and one in the bedroom.
I feel bad about spending seven dollars on a glass window.
I looked at the tables and chairs in the living room. The old carpenter's craftsmanship was very good, and they were even varnished.
The bedroom furniture was also placed in the appropriate positions according to Yunyan's ideas. Finally, I went to check out the bathroom. It had a cobblestone floor and a door connecting it to the kitchen, so that I wouldn't have to go around in circles to fetch water.
Overall, I am still very satisfied. After all, the conditions are limited, and it is very good to be able to achieve this.
There is an open space at the back for growing vegetables, and a storage room next to it for storing things.
Yunyan looked at everything in the room and felt that it was already very good. She could move in after the smell from the furniture had dissipated.
I'll take advantage of this time to take out all the things in the space and put them in the room openly. It seems I have to go find Uncle Wang.
After a few days, Yunyan saw that the smell of the furniture had almost dissipated, so she went to find Uncle Wang.
I gave Uncle Wang one dollar and agreed to rent his ox cart for an afternoon to transport things.
Originally, Uncle Wang was reluctant to accept it, but Yun Yan insisted.
Although it was Uncle Wang who drove the ox cart, the ox belonged to the brigade. If others knew that Uncle Wang used the ox cart to transport things for him for free, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
In order to avoid trouble for herself and Uncle Wang, Yun Yan decided to pay one dollar as rent.
The next day after lunch, Yunyan arrived at the place she had agreed to meet with Uncle Wang.
After arriving in the county town, Yun Yan asked Uncle Wang to wait for her not far from the post office.
Yun Yan found a deserted place and took out the quilt, sewing machine, bicycle, pots and pans, and several large packages containing clothes, shoes, and cloth.
I paid fifty cents to hire two people on the roadside to take me to where the ox cart was parked.
Uncle Wang was stunned when he saw the pile of things: This Yun Zhiqing must have moved his entire home here!
After the items were delivered, Yunyan gave the money to the two men, and then asked Uncle Wang to drive the ox cart back first, while she had to go buy some other things.
When Uncle Wang returned to the Hongqi Brigade with a cart full of things, he attracted the attention of the entire brigade.
Hearing that they were all Yun Zhiqing's things, a few greedy aunties tried to take the big packages, but they were scolded by several aunties who were on good terms with Yun Yan.
After a while, Yunyan came back on a bicycle. The villagers who gathered to watch the fun saw Yunyan riding a women's bicycle that they had never seen before, and they all gathered around to look at it curiously.
“This bike is really nice.”
"This is so much smaller than a 28-inch bicycle. No wonder it's called a women's bicycle."
"Yun Zhiqing, did you buy this in Su City? Things in big cities are so rare."
"He even brought a sewing machine. Yun Zhiqing must have moved his entire home here."
"That's about right. I have no one left at home, so I moved all these things here."
Yunyan heard someone ask the key point and started her performance.
"How come there is no one? Where are your parents?"
"My parents sacrificed their lives a few months ago while trying to save the factory's supplies." Yun Yan said with a sad face.
After hearing Yun Yan's words, the villagers who were still laughing fell silent. No one had expected that Yun Zhiqing, who usually looked optimistic, was actually an orphan whose parents had both passed away.
"Don't be sad, Yun Zhiqing. We didn't mean it."
Yun Yan wiped her tears and said, "Auntie, it's okay. I'm not sad anymore."
Seeing her like this, the villagers felt even more guilty.
"Can everyone please give me some space? I need to go and pack my things."
The villagers immediately made way for her and helped her move her things inside.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would definitely walk around the new house, but the atmosphere was not right today. After helping Yunyan move all the things down, everyone left on their own accord.
After seeing everyone leave, Yun Yan immediately closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s really not easy for me, I have to act anytime and anywhere.
There's no other way. If I don't act like this, those aunties and sisters will definitely keep asking me questions endlessly.
"Yun Zhiqing is so pitiful. She seems to be only eighteen years old this year, and she lost her parents at such a young age."
"Yeah, normally when she's with us she's always chatting and laughing and you wouldn't tell, but it turns out she's got something so big on her mind."
"Alas, don't mention Yun Zhiqing's parents in front of her from now on, or she'll be sad."
"If you ask me, we should all stay away from Yun Zhiqing. She has such a tough life that she killed both her parents."
"Xu Juhua, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up. What do you mean Yun Zhiqing has a bad fate and killed her parents? Didn't you just hear Yun Zhiqing say that her parents sacrificed themselves to save things in the factory?" When Aunt Zhang heard someone say bad things about Yun Yan, she immediately retorted.
"Zhang Cuilan, don't speak for her all the time just because you've received a small favor from her. If you get too close to her, you might get suppressed by her."
"What are you talking about, you old bitch?" Aunt Zhang was so angry after hearing what she said that she wanted to go up and fight with her.
"Did I say something wrong? You're not..."
"Shut up, everyone! Yun Zhiqing's parents were martyrs, so be careful what you say."
"And you, Xu Juhua, are fighting against the Four Olds everywhere right now, yet you're openly promoting feudal superstition. What do you want to do?"
A bunch of idle and wasteful women who only cause trouble for themselves.
Seeing that the captain was angry, no one else dared to speak.
Yun Yan had no idea that the villagers outside almost got into a fight over her.
She was sorting her belongings and putting them away. Yunyan planned to move in in two days.
When Yun Yan returned to the educated youth center and saw that they were all looking at her with sympathetic eyes, she felt that her performance seemed to be over.
