Zhang Xinxin was a little confused and asked casually.
"Yes, hey, your uncle Liu is busy making furniture in the west room!"
Third Grandma shook her head and sighed, glancing at the house at the west end as she walked.
Ever since his daughter-in-law disappeared, my son has changed completely. He has become less talkative and just works silently all day long.
Zhang Xinxin followed her gaze and saw that the west door was now tightly closed.
"oh….!"
Although she knew the situation at Third Grandma's home, she didn't know how to comfort her.
This kind of thing would definitely not be pleasant for anyone!
Looking at the old man and the child beside him, Zhang Xinxin sighed inwardly.
It must have been very difficult for this family in the past few years!
Soon the five of them entered the side room, and the third grandmother opened the door and warmly invited the three of them in.
"The things are all in the room. Girl, take a look and see which one you like. They were all bought a while ago!"
These words were said to Ruan Mengmeng, because she was the one who wanted to buy the cabinet, and the other two people were obviously accompanying her.
"Okay, Third Grandma, let me see!"
Ruan Mengmeng followed Zhang Xinxin and called out "Third Grandma", then walked in and carefully looked at the things in the house.
There are stools and chairs of varying heights, cabinets and tables of different shapes, woven bamboo baskets of varying sizes, and even lounge chairs.
Looking at the wooden products with fine workmanship and smooth surface, Ruan Mengmeng sighed inwardly that the craftsmanship was indeed good and the workmanship was very meticulous.
No wonder my best friend Zhang Xinxin always praises Uncle Liu’s cooking skills!
Ruan Mengmeng chose two taller double-layer cabinets, placing one in her room and the other in Ruan Zilong's room.
Then they picked out a small table and two small stools, which would be used for the two of them to eat.
Finally, I asked for a lounge chair and two backpacks, and that was it.
"Third Grandma, this is all I need for now. Can you calculate how much it costs?"
Third Grandma looked at the items she had chosen and quoted prices for each one.
Her family has been doing carpentry work in this village for many years, and the prices of their products will only be cheap, not expensive.
Moreover, they are all carefully made by her son, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
"A cabinet is two dollars each, and two cabinets are four dollars."
Grandma San looked at the two double-layer cabinets and quoted a price after thinking about it.
"The recliner is one dollar and fifty cents, the table and chairs together are two dollars, and the backpacks are fifty cents each. The total is eight dollars and fifty cents."
"OK!"
When Ruan Mengmeng heard the price, she felt it was okay and not too expensive.
The key is quality. She looked at it carefully and found it to be very good.
Every corner of the table and cabinet has been polished in advance.
They feel smooth to the touch, so you don't have to worry about splinters pricking your palms.
Seeing that she bought a lot at one time and wanted ready-made furniture, and she came with Zhang Xinxin, Third Grandma also gave her two hand-woven straw hats.
"Thank you, Third Grandma!"
Knowing that she had taken advantage, Ruan Mengmeng quickly thanked him and counted the money and handed it over.
"You're welcome, girl. This little thing is worthless!"
Third Grandma smiled kindly and waved her hand indifferently.
"By the way, Third Grandma, why don't you see any big wooden tubs for bathing?"
Ruan Mengmeng suddenly remembered that she would need a bathtub to take a bath at night, but she didn't see any ready-made wooden products, so she asked.
Using an enamel basin to scrub your body all the time is not a long-term solution!
"Oh, those things are all made to order. What size do you want? Leave a measurement and I'll ask your Uncle Liu to make it for you. What do you think?"
Third Grandma explained it patiently, and Ruan Mengmeng finally understood.
This may be something that is rarely bought by people in the countryside, and everyone’s requirements and sizes are different.
So it can’t be made in advance, otherwise it will be difficult to sell.
Ruan Mengmeng said she could understand.
Finally, I told my third grandmother the size and dimensions of the bathtub I needed.
Afraid that she would not be able to remember it when she was old, the third grandmother found paper and pen at home and carefully wrote it down.
Ruan Mengmeng directly ordered two wooden barrels, one large and one small.
The big one is for myself and the small one is for Ruan Zilong.
In the past, she could go directly to the space to take a shower.
Now that I live with Xia Xiaojing, I can’t go into the space to wash at all, so I can only make do outside.
Even if it was just for show, she didn't want her golden finger to be discovered by others.
"Okay, I've got the dimensions memorized. It'll probably be done in about three days. Let your Uncle Liu hurry up!"
Grandma San thought about it and thought that three days should be enough. There was plenty of wood at home, so it would be done quickly.
"Okay, Third Grandma, take a look at how much it is, and I'll pay for it!"
Knowing that it takes time to make it, and that three days is not a long time, she said it was acceptable and that it would pass if she just endured it.
"Give me four dollars in total, two dollars and fifty cents for the big one, and one dollar and fifty cents for the small one!"
Things are not expensive these days, and the wood they use to make furniture is all cut from the mountains.
At this time, there was no ban on cutting down trees. When you needed them, just tell the village chief.
"OK!"
Ruan Mengmeng took out four dollars and handed it to Third Grandma.
"When it's done, I'll ask your Uncle Liu to deliver it directly to you?"
Third Grandma asked again.
Normally, villagers would deliver the finished products to your door. I wonder if this girl meant...
"Can!"
Ruan Mengmeng thought about it and realized that she would definitely still be working in three days and would have no time to come and get it, so it would be fine if she asked them to deliver it to her door.
After telling the address to Grandma San, the two prepared to say goodbye and leave.
"You guys can't move the stuff, right? Should I ask Guanghui to deliver it to you?"
Third Grandma looked at the things Ruan Mengmeng had already picked out and was about to turn around and go out to call Uncle Liu.
"No need, Third Grandma. Don't you have a cart at home? We can transport it back ourselves!"
Zhang Xinxin quickly stopped him, knowing that the other party had already given him a big discount because of him.
I've already sent something, so how can I still have the nerve to trouble them to deliver it?
Besides, Uncle Liu hasn’t come out yet, so he must be busy, and they don’t have the heart to disturb him.
"Can you do it?"
Grandma San looked at the two of them, as well as the five-year-old Ruan Zilong. Could these two girls and a child be transported back?
"Sure, Third Grandma, we're plenty strong!"
Ruan Mengmeng quickly responded, raised her right arm, and made a muscle-flexing gesture, which made everyone laugh!
Even Third Grandma couldn't help but call her naughty.
"Alright then!"
Seeing that the two had made up their minds, the third grandmother no longer hesitated and turned to look at her grandson Xiaogang;
"Gangdan, go pull the cart behind the gate over here!"
"Okay, grandma!"
