Nangong Ruochen easily carried a bag of corn on his shoulder and two bags of wheat and rice on the other hand. He turned to look at Yun Siying and asked, "Can you take the rest?" The bags of luggage were not light, but he still asked uncertainly.
"I can take this." So they picked up the bag of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the two of them walked out of the warehouse and found a place to put the food. She turned around and said to Zhang Youliang, "Uncle Zhang, I still need some furniture. I heard that the team has some. Can I exchange some?"
"Of course, I'll take you to the warehouse to choose." Zhang Youliang was even happier. He didn't expect that he could earn more income from Yun Zhiqing again.
He opened the door of the warehouse, which was filled with all kinds of furniture, including kang cabinets, kang tables, desks, wardrobes, cupboards, boxes, cabinets, basin stands, etc., as well as zong mats (palm mats handmade from the husks of natural palm trees), wooden barrels, wooden basins, straw hats, etc.
Yun Siying looked at these things and then turned to Nangong Ruochen: "Well, I don't lack money, you can help me choose."
Nangong Ruochen smiled gently and said, "Okay, leave it to me!"
Nangong Ruochen was very experienced and picked out what he needed in a short while: a straw mat, a kang cabinet, a kang table, a desk, a chair, a cupboard, a wardrobe, a wooden box, an octagonal table with a side length of ten centimeters, a basin rack, two wooden barrels, a bathtub, a broom, and a straw hat.
"That's all. Uncle Zhang, can you calculate how much it will cost?" asked Nangong Ruochen.
Zhang Youliang looked at the furniture that was taken out and said in his heart that Yun Zhiqing was really a rich man. In their village, only a newly married woman could buy so much furniture.
He happily fiddled with his abacus, and after a few crackling sounds, he smiled and said, "The total is eighty-one yuan. You don't have to count the broom, it's a gift."
Yun Siying took out 81 yuan and handed it to Zhang Youliang, smiling and saying, "Uncle Zhang, can you use the team's tractor to help transport so many things back to the educated youth site?"
"That's no problem. Thank you, Nangong Zhiqing, for helping me drive." Zhang Youliang said gently. Seeing how familiar the two were with each other, he was not afraid that Nangong Ruochen would refuse.
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry. I will definitely help Yun Zhiqing move these furniture back to the Zhiqing Home." Nangong Ruochen did not refuse and gladly accepted the task.
Nangong Ruochen drove the tractor to the door of the warehouse. Zhang Youliang and he loaded the furniture and grain into the car. The car was full, just enough to hold all the furniture.
"Okay, Yun Zhiqing, go back and tidy up your room. You new educated youth can still have a day off tomorrow. If you still need anything, you can go to the county town to buy it. The supplies there are more complete. The day after tomorrow you will go to the fields with the other members to earn work points." Zhang Youliang looked at the actions of the thin and fair Yun Siying, which were somewhat beyond his expectations.
Yun Siying sat in the driver's seat and said to Nangong Ruochen, "Get in the car, keep an eye on my furniture, don't let it fall out of the car."
Nangong Ruochen looked at her confident expression and climbed onto the tractor. Yun Siying watched him stand firmly and then began to operate skillfully. Zhang Youliang was frightened watching from the side. He was about to speak out to stop it when he saw the tractor making a rumbling sound and starting to run slowly and steadily.
Just as I ran to the gate and was about to say hello to the captain, I saw Shu running into the team headquarters like a snowy wind.
Yun Siying saw the anxiety and frustration on her face, and instantly realized the reason, so she said to Nangong Ruochen, "Let's go and see the excitement before leaving." So she stopped the car and looked at Shu Ruxue with excitement.
Nangong Ruochen looked at her with an expression of watching a fun. He usually didn't like watching a fun, so he and Yun Siying looked at Shu Ruxue.
"Captain 꺶, I would like to borrow the team's bicycle to go to the county." Shu Ruxue's voice was choked with anxiety, her eyes were a little red, and there were some tear stains on her eyelashes.
"Yinyin, what happened to you?" Captain Tsang looked at the girl who was the leader of the team and asked with concern.
"Uncle Captain, the money I brought with me was stolen on the train. I'm going to the police station to report it." Shu Ruxue said anxiously. Such a large sum of money was gone just like that. She felt indescribably sad.
"How much money did you bring?" When Captain 꺶 heard that the money was stolen, he stood up anxiously and felt sorry for the girl.
"My parents gave me one yuan, and it's all gone." Shu Ruxue said with a sob, tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes, like pearls that had broken off the string, running across her cheeks and dripping onto the shirt on her chest.
"How could you be so careless, girl? That's a whole dollar. The bicycle is right there, go back quickly." Captain Xiao looked distressed and quickly took the key from his waist and handed it to Shu Ruxue.
This kid actually dared to bring one yuan in cash to the countryside, and now it was stolen. He thought to himself what a pity, because there was no way he could get back the money that was stolen on the train.
Most families in the village could not save more than 20 yuan in a year, and most of them even owed money to the team, let alone saving money.
In the countryside, you can marry a wife with 20 or 30 yuan. That's a whole yuan, and you can marry as many wives as you want. I didn't expect that this girl couldn't keep her money.
When Shen Mubai, who arrived later, chased to the team headquarters, he heard Shu Ruxue say that one yuan was stolen from her, not as much as he had, but not a small amount either. Seeing Shu Ruxue getting on her bicycle and about to leave, he called out, "Ruxue, wait, I'll go with you."
Captain 꺶 asked doubtfully, “Shen Zhiqing, was your money stolen too?”
"Yeah." Shen Mubai was feeling a little down.
"How much was stolen?" Captain 꺶꺗 asked hurriedly.
"One dollar and five dollars." Shen Mubai was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Can't you learn from Yun Zhiqing and choose to send it by mail?" After hearing this, the team felt distressed. These useless young people actually dared to carry so much money in cash on them.
The two men lowered their heads even lower, regretting their actions in their hearts. Who knew that the thief on the train could be so rampant.
Yun Siying looked at her hurried back as she left, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Nangong Ruochen happened to see this scene. That smile was like a rose with thorns, passionate and dangerous. His heart beat uncontrollably twice and he quickly looked away.
Lin Zikang, who arrived later, saw the two of them and walked to the tractor and asked, "Yun Zhiqing, where did you get these furniture?"
"There is one in the team, you can just ask Accountant Zhang to change it." Yun Siying did not hide it. It was fate that the two families came to the same team, but whether they could meet or not, only time could tell.
