When they got to the end of the street, there were indeed four tricycles waiting there. There was a cardboard sign saying "delivery" in the bucket behind the tricycle. Jiang Yanqing went up to one and asked for it. The driver said that it was introduced by Sister Ahua. In the end, they settled on two dollars and fifty cents to deliver it to the coal mine.
The driver's name was Lao Wang. There were many shops on this street, so the drivers who transported goods back and forth had become familiar with each other and knew which shop they were in.
After such a delay, it was almost twelve o'clock. Jiang Yanqing bought two meat patties and handed one to Lao Wang.
Old Wang repeatedly refused, but finally Jiang Yanqing smiled and said that she was treating him to a meal, so he accepted it with many thanks.
Jiang Yanqing has money and space, so he doesn't care about such a small thing.
Maybe the money spent on this trip back to the coal mine could be used to take five or six buses, but that would be too tiring, so it would be better to move it all at once and save trouble.
For the hard-working rickshaw driver, the money for a meat pie is enough to feed his family with some coarse grains.
So, after buying things at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lao Wang enthusiastically helped Jiang Yanqing move the things upstairs, and Jiang Yanqing didn't even get involved.
They bought some daily necessities at the supply and marketing cooperative, such as washbasins, kettles, towels, soaps, etc. Even though Jiang Fubao and the others didn't take their personal belongings away, Jiang Yanqing still disliked them.
I also bought a few pounds of sugar, peach biscuits, and two bottles of wine, big and small bags, it looked like a lot anyway.
We got on the tricycle and it was already past three in the afternoon when we had moved all the things into the house.
In the afternoon, those who were supposed to be working in the mine were still working, and their family members who were not working were also busy with their own things. Anyway, there were not many people hanging around outside.
So Jiang Yanqing didn't meet anyone, and there was no need to greet others.
After seeing Old Wang off and closing the gate, Jiang Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, she could just live her own life behind closed doors. How great!
Jiang Yanqing went to the kitchen first. There was a wood-burning stove, a coal-burning stove, and a mahogany lacquered cabinet against the wall.
Below was a marble chopping board for cutting vegetables, which was all messed up by Jiang Fubao. Since she was at home anyway, Jiang Yanqing simply filled a basin with hot water, put on rubber gloves and started working.
I wiped the cupboards inside and out with disinfectant, swept the floor clean, and put out the bowls, chopsticks, soup bowls, and glass bottles of oil, salt, and seasonings I bought.
These are all taken directly from the space. I have plenty of space anyway, and the quality is better.
Then Jiang Yanqing cleaned up the main room and the bedroom in one go, clearing out a large pile of garbage and throwing it in the yard.
Looking at the tidy new home, Jiang Yanqing sat down on the stool, feeling full of accomplishment and tiredness.
Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock. Jiang Yanqing took two kilograms of brown sugar, a two-kilogram piece of pork, and two bottles of wine, locked the yard door and went out.
If I had to say where to go, it would definitely be to the Qi family. Aunt Lin had stood up for me and spoken for me several times, so I had to express my gratitude.
When we arrived at Aunt Lin's house, we saw smoke coming from the kitchen but no sound of talking. Aunt Lin must be the only one at home.
Jiang Yanqing knocked on the door, and soon, Aunt Lin came to open the door. Jiang Yanqing said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, I came here with a shameless face to eat for free."
Aunt Lin first glanced at Jiang Yanqing in a reproachful manner and pointed her finger, "You little girl, what are you talking about? If you want to eat at my house, just come and eat directly."
Jiang Yanqing could tell that Aunt Lin was speaking from the heart, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at her.
This is what touched Jiang Yanqing even more. An outsider could be so kind, but the Jiang family's relatives were so unscrupulous in their actions.
Jiang Yanqing raised the things in her hand and said, "Hey, Auntie, add a dish! I went to the city to buy some things today, and I happened to see some good meat, so I brought back some."
Aunt Lin looked at what Jiang Yanqing was holding, slightly surprised, and waved her hand to refuse, "You can eat meat if you want, but take the rest back."
As Jiang Yanqing walked in, she said in a coquettish tone, "Auntie, you can keep this brown sugar to nourish your body, and this wine is specially bought for Uncle Qi. Are you going to let me keep it for myself?"
Aunt Lin said helplessly, "Why are you so polite, girl? You still have to go to college in the future, and you will have many places to spend money!"
Jiang Yanqing nodded as if she had learned something. "I know, Aunt Lin, I won't waste money recklessly. I just want to show my filial piety to you and Uncle Qi. Otherwise, I will be embarrassed to bother you again if I have any problems in the future."
Elders all like well-behaved and sensible younger generations. Aunt Lin was happy about Jiang Yanqing's kindness. She could only give Jiang Yanqing a few more instructions and put all the things away.
