Chapter 71 Buying Furniture



"Yes, there is a carpenter in the village, Mr. Deng's family. They live in the yard three doors away from your educated youth point. You can go there tomorrow to pick one and ask Mr. Deng to write a note. Then you can go to the brigade headquarters and pay the money and take it back," the brigade leader said.

Old Deng usually earned his work points by doing carpentry work. Normally, he would only buy a few pieces of furniture when someone in the village got married. Now that the educated youth have come, he should be able to pick a lot.

The captain was very happy that the village could increase its income. Tong Yiya took note of it and smiled and thanked him, "Okay, we'll go check it out tomorrow. Thank you, captain."

Afterwards they continued to talk about other topics. Tong Yiya finished eating quickly. She put away her lunch box and prepared to take it back to wash. After all, most families in the village still carried water. Only their Youth League Home used to be the landlord's house, so there was a well in the yard.

She sat aside and waited for a while. The other educated youth had finished their meals. Seeing that it was getting late, they had asked all the questions that needed to be asked today, and then they got up and went back to the educated youth compound.

After returning to the educated youth center, several people fetched water from the yard to wash the lunch boxes. After all, the food did not contain much oil or water, so it could be cleaned by just rinsing it with clean water twice.

Before everyone had returned to their houses, Gan Jiawei hurriedly said, "We have a day off tomorrow. If you want to go to the commune to buy things in the morning, you should get up early. The team leader said that the oxcarts leave very early in the morning. If you go late, there may not be enough space, so you can only walk there.

After everyone comes back, we will go buy the furniture we need. In the afternoon, we will go to Nanshan to collect some firewood. We will start working later. We still need a few days to get familiar with the place. We will definitely not have extra time to collect firewood in the afternoon, so we must prepare the firewood for the next few days first."

"We should all go to the commune tomorrow," Zhang Qian said

"I won't go. The things sent from my home haven't arrived yet, so I won't go tomorrow," Tong Yiya said

She had already asked the team leader today. If there was a package arriving, the postman would come to the village to deliver a form, and she could just take the form to pick it up. She didn't have anything to buy. After all, she was poor and had to rely on her family to send her everything.

When several people heard her say that she was not going, no one said anything. They just looked at her clothes and thought that she didn't want to go because she had no money.

They discussed it together again, and then went back to their rooms after dinner. Tong Yiya went into the room and put away the lunch box. She went to the kitchen and used a clay pot to boil a large pot of water to fill her own thermos.

Afterwards, he fetched some water to wash up and went to bed early. When it got dark in the village, everything became quiet, with only the occasional sounds of chickens crowing or dogs barking.

After it started to get dark outside, the other people also quickened their pace to clean up. Because they had just arrived here and had not yet bought kerosene lamps, if they wanted to avoid cleaning up in the dark, they could only speed up and finish their work before going to bed to rest.

After Tong Yiya lay down, she heard those people coming in and out. Within half an hour, the room became completely dark, and they all packed up, closed the door, and went to bed.

Tong Yiya thought that there was no hope of entering the space today, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

The next day, just after dawn, there was a knock on the door. The three people who were closest to the door were woken up first. When they heard that it was Gan Jiawei calling them to get up and go to town, they lost their temper and quickly got up, dressed, washed up, and then put on their bags and went out.

Tong Yiya waited until there was no sound in the room before opening her eyes. She had woken up when those people got up. She got up from the kang, locked the door, and returned to the kang to enter her own space.

She went directly to her own retro little building to wash up. After a while, the system reminded her to sign in for today. After signing in, Tong Yiya received a bowl of noodles. After washing up, she ate the noodles in the space, and then added feed to the animals in the space before leaving the space.

After leaving the space, she got up, folded the bedding, got off the kang and left the house. She planned to buy the furniture she needed first, thinking that she would definitely move out in the future. In order to make it easier when moving, she planned to buy a lockable cabinet first.

Thinking of this, she locked the door and walked out of the Youth League compound, heading towards the home of Old Deng that the team leader had mentioned yesterday. She walked forward and passed three houses. When she arrived in front of the fourth house, she could see the wood piled in the yard outside the low wall.

She shouted from outside the yard: "Is Uncle Deng home?"

After a while, a man's voice came from inside, "Who is it? If you're home, just come in."

Tong Yiya pushed open the gate and walked in after hearing the answer, saying as she walked in: "Hello, Uncle Deng, I am an educated youth who just arrived here yesterday. I have no furniture to put my things in, so I thought of coming to you to exchange one or two things."

At this time, a man who looked to be in his forties walked out from the backyard. When he saw the unfamiliar girl, he knew from what she said that she was a new educated youth.

When he heard that we were here to choose furniture, Uncle Deng greeted us enthusiastically: "You are here to choose furniture, right? Then come with me. The finished furniture is in the shed in the backyard."

"Okay, thank you for your help," Tong Yiya said as she followed Uncle Deng to the backyard. The backyard was not used for farming like other people's houses. Uncle Deng's backyard was where he usually did carpentry work.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw more wood piled up against the wall, and sawdust all over the ground. Next to the house, there was a rain shelter, and underneath it were piled up all finished furniture.

Uncle Deng took her directly to the shed, pointed at the furniture that had just been painted red and said, "These red ones here can't be the ones that the villagers have already ordered. You can choose the others. After you make your choice, I'll write you a note. You can take it to the brigade headquarters to pay the money, and I'll deliver it to you."

When Tong Yiya heard that she could help deliver the furniture, she became even happier and started to choose furniture.

She thought it would be troublesome to ask others to make a trip to choose one, so she finally chose a large box to be placed on the kang, and the cabinet that she had thought of a long time ago.

"Just these two. Uncle, can you bring me two wooden basins, one large and one small? That's all. Please write me a note. I'll go pay first, and then come with the other guy to move things." Tong Yiya said, pointing at the ones she had chosen.

The reason for buying two wooden basins was that I wanted to use them for washing clothes in the future. The basin she brought was too small and could only be used for washing face. This time I bought two, one for washing feet and one for washing clothes.

"Okay, then you wait for me in the yard for a while, I'll go into the house to write a note," said Uncle Deng.

Then the two of them returned to the front yard, and Tong Yiya was left alone in the yard waiting. After a while, Uncle Deng came out with a note, handed it to her and said, "The box you chose is 5 yuan, the cabinet is 8 yuan, plus two large and small wooden basins, a total of 15 yuan.
