Since it was a temporary stay, there was no need to put in a lot of effort. Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao cleaned two rooms. Jiang Yanqing lived upstairs and Fang Mingxiao lived downstairs. The others were left alone.
It just so happened that there were beds in only two rooms, and the other rooms were empty.
After cleaning up the dust, Jiang Yanqing and Fang Mingxiao looked at each other, and oh no, there was no quilt.
The weather in spring is fine during the day, but it is very cold at night. I can't sleep on a bare bed board!
If Fang Mingxiao hadn't been here, Jiang Yanqing would have been able to take out the bedding from the space, but now she could only think of another way.
After much deliberation, Jiang Yanqing could only go to the neighbor's house nearby to see if there were any new quilts, and buy two to use first.
Leaving Fang Mingxiao at home, Jiang Yanqing went out. It was already dark after all the busy work. Fortunately, there were two street lights in the alley, and the lights were on in the houses nearby, so the road could be seen clearly.
After visiting two houses, Jiang Yanqing looked at the front door of this family. It was clean without a trace of weeds. The owner must be a clean person.
I knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds. I heard a shout from inside, "Who is it?" accompanied by footsteps approaching the gate.
This area is not entirely made up of Western-style buildings. Most of them are bungalows with a courtyard, and there are also a few two-story buildings built by themselves.
The family Jiang Yanqing came to happened to be one of them. Only families like this with good financial conditions could have new quilts at home.
Jiang Yanqing raised her voice slightly and replied, "I'm a new resident here."
The footsteps in the yard paused for a moment, and the yard door opened, revealing the face of a young woman, an ordinary face, looking at Jiang Yanqing in confusion.
Jiang Yanqing put on a polite smile and explained, "Comrade, I just bought the Liu family's house today. I was in such a hurry that I didn't bring any bedding with me. I wanted to ask if you have any new bedding you can sell me to help me out."
After briefly stating his purpose and identity, Jiang Yanqing stood quietly waiting for the woman to answer him.
The woman looked Jiang Yanqing up and down. She was well dressed and could afford to buy a house from the Liu family. She must be really rich!
I politely replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask my mother-in-law."
Having said that, he turned around and walked into the house without closing the door. Through the courtyard door, he could see the whole family still eating in the main room.
After waiting for a few minutes, a middle-aged woman came over, followed by the young woman. The middle-aged woman was quite kind and let Jiang Yanqing in.
It was a coincidence that the younger generation of this family had two brothers, the elder one was married, and the elder one's daughter-in-law was the one who had just opened the door for Jiang Yanqing.
The younger one was engaged to be married at the end of the year, so the family just happened to buy two new quilts. Considering that Jiang Yanqing was a little girl coming to the house so late at night, the middle-aged woman readily agreed to sell the quilts to Jiang Yanqing.
One is a bright red quilt and the other is a dark blue quilt. They are not wedding quilts, but just some things prepared for the wedding, ready for changing.
After giving five dollars, Jiang Yanqing carried one quilt, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the family helped carry the other quilt and delivered it to the doorstep.
Before leaving, the middle-aged woman said warmly, "Jiang girl, come and visit us when you move in!"
Jiang Yanqing nodded, "Okay, thank you Aunt Hua."
During the chat, they got to know each other a little better. Aunt Hua originally said that five yuan was too much, but Jiang Yanqing thought that this family was quite honest and did not look down on a little girl like her and ask for a higher price. Moreover, they had put a lot of effort into making the quilt, so the price was similar to those sold outside, so she felt at ease that she was not taking advantage of them.
Sister Hua helped to move the quilt into the house and placed it on the sofa. She clapped her hands and said, "Jiang girl, I'm going back now."
Jiang Yanqing also put down the quilt and said as she escorted the people out, "Sister Hua, the house is messy today and I haven't prepared any tea. I'll invite you to my house for tea after I move in."
Mrs. Hua was also a straightforward person. After saying a few polite words, she walked out of the yard and headed home.
After closing the yard door, Jiang Yanqing suddenly realized that Fang Mingxiao was missing. She called out twice and found out that he was in the bathroom.
Squatting beside the water pipe and tinkering with it, Jiang Yanqing looked at the toolbox on the ground curiously, "Where did you find these tools?"
"I saw it in the utility room."
Jiang Yanqing said succinctly, curling her lips, "I bought two sets of bedding, one for you and one for me, just right."
Fang Mingxiao nodded, "Thank you."
Jiang Yanqing exhaled and replied, "It's okay. I'll go boil some water. You can take your time. If you can't fix it, I'll ask a plumber to come tomorrow."
As he said that, he turned and walked towards the living room. Fang Mingxiao stopped what he was doing, glanced at Jiang Yanqing's back, and continued to fiddle with it without saying a word.
