"Auntie, can I use all the cabinets in the room?"
"Of course, you can use everything in this room. If there is anything you don't need, Carpenter Li at the end of the village can make cabinets and tables. It's not expensive. You can give some food or money. You can go and have a look."
Nanqiao nodded obediently, took out a dollar from her pocket, added the dollar that Si Nian had just given her, and gave it to the women's director, saying, "Auntie, this is our rent for this month."
"Hey, don't worry, my girl. You can live here first. There is still a long time to come. There is no need to rush now."
"Oh, please keep it, Auntie. Only after you pay us the rent can we clean up the house with peace of mind. Besides, I have something else I want to trouble you with."
"What's the matter, girl? Tell your aunt." Aunt Xiumei saw that she could not refuse but took it.
"Aunt, I can't bring so many things this time, so my family mailed the bedding to me, but it hasn't arrived yet. Does anyone have new bedding? I want to exchange it for a new one. Money or something will do."
At this time, private transactions are not allowed, so it is more subtle to say "in exchange".
There are plenty of beds and beddings in Sinanqiao's space, so you can sleep in the space if you can't afford it.
But Shen Nian next door knew how much luggage she had, and she had to save face, so she spoke directly to the women's director in front of her.
"I see. Nowadays, every household is not rich. It's hard to find new things. Do you mind the old ones? They are clean, though." Aunt Xiumei thought that girls in the city were more particular and wondered if they would mind the things of people from the village.
"Don't mind, auntie. It's great to have it." Anyway, I don't plan to use it, so it doesn't matter whether it's new or old. It's just a formality.
"Then I'll have my little girl bring it to you later. You don't need to bring money or tickets. Just return it to me after you get your things."
Nanqiao readily agreed to it after seeing this. After all, there was still a lot of time to go, so he could just bring more things with him when he visited his family.
"Okay, thank you very much, auntie."
"Oh, don't be so polite, my house is right over there, come and see me if you have any problem," said Aunt Xiumei enthusiastically.
"Okay, Auntie, there will be many opportunities to trouble you in the future," Nanqiao said in a coquettish tone.
She had a very good impression of Aunt Xiumei, who was not as gossipy as some of the other old ladies in the village, so Nanqiao was happy to get close to her.
"Okay, okay, girl, how could your family bear to let you come so far?" Aunt Xiumei looked at Si Nanqiao's white and tender little hands, sighed and said
Nanqiao did not respond to the words, and smiled innocently as if he had not heard them.
She didn't object to going to the countryside, but every time she mentioned it, the reason for going to the countryside made her angry.
"Hey, hurry up and pack. I'll let my little girl Taohua bring you the bedding later, and then you can come home with her to have dinner," said Aunt Xiumei as she walked out of the courtyard gate.
"Okay, Auntie"
After sending Aunt Xiumei away, Nanqiao went to Chen Nian's room. When Nanqiao entered, Chen Nian was fiddling with her luggage.
Seeing Nanqiao coming in, Shen Nian jumped over and happily shared her joy with Nanqiao, "Qiaoqiao, I thought our accommodation would be very poor. I never thought that there would be such a nice yard to live in, and each person could have a room. I suddenly felt that going to the countryside was not hard at all."
Nanqiao added in his heart, "You won't think so when you pick corn cobs..."
"Just now, Aunt Xiumei asked me to go to her house for dinner tonight, but she refused to take the money, so I thought of bringing some things over. What do you think?" Nanqiao asked
"Then I'll look through it later and see what to pick up." Shen Nian said as he thought about what to pick up later.
Nanqiao saw Shen Nian responded, so he also prepared to go back to the room to clean up, "Then Nian Nian, you clean up first, I will also go to clean up"
"Okay, Qiaoqiao."
Nanqiao turned around and went back to the room. He took out a small wooden basin from the space, which didn't look very conspicuous. He went to the yard to get a basin of water from the well, and went back to the room to clean the cabinets in the house.
Nanqiao's back ached as he cleaned the tables, chairs, benches, windows and cabinets in the house.
I can't help but sigh, this body has never done physical work, fortunately I was born with good genes and a good figure, otherwise I don't know how fat I would be if I just eat and do nothing.
After stretching to relieve the discomfort in his body, Nanqiao began to pack up his bag and put everything in place.
Nanqiao then took out the cakes that he was going to take to his aunt's house and placed them on the table.
Just as he was about to go out to see how Shen Nian was packing, he heard a little girl's shouting outside the door.
"Sister Zhiqing, Sister Zhiqing"
Nanqiao came out of the room after hearing the noise. He saw a little girl of about ten years old holding a quilt, followed by a little girl of two or three years old who was walking unsteadily.
So he took a few quick steps, opened the gate, and prepared to take the blanket from the little girl.
"You must be the peach blossom from Aunt Xiumei's family."
But before she could touch the quilt, the little girl dodged and said, "Sister Zhiqing, this is very heavy, let me do it."
"Sister, my name is Sheng Taohua, and this is my eldest brother's daughter, Yaya."
"Sister, you live in this room, right?" Taohua said as she walked into the room that Nanqiao had just left.
"Yes, this is the one. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Taohua." Nanqiao saw that he couldn't argue with her, so he let her go.
As soon as Taohua entered the room, she felt inexplicably excited. It turned out to be the educated youth sister from the city. It had only been a short time since she came here, but she could clean the room so clean and fragrant.
