Chapter 10 Thanking Neighbors for Their Help (Part 1)
I put the letter down, took the sandalwood box and opened it. It was amazing. A familiar box and a familiar formula. Even the contents inside are the same.
A note with name and birthday on it, and a small wooden sign, probably some kind of keepsake. Nothing else.
Jun Qingqing put the letter and the sandalwood box into the space. After sorting out his thoughts, he stood up and walked towards the utility room.
Passing by the kitchen in the middle, I saw a large stove and a small earthen stove built separately. The large stove is usually used for cooking, while the small earthen stove can be used to cook while stewing rice, steaming buns, steamed buns, etc.
Next to the small earthen stove should be a cabinet for kitchen supplies. Open the upper cabinet door. There are also three floors inside.
The first layer is various seasonings. For example: brown sugar, white sugar, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The second layer is bowls, plates, etc. There are also four lunch boxes.
The third layer is small steamers, pottery jars, etc.
Open the lower cabinet door and you will see two layers of layout inside.
The first layer is: refined rice, white flour, millet, and a basket of eggs.
The second layer is: coarse grains, as well as sweet potatoes, potatoes and other foods.
After closing the cabinet door and looking to the side, I saw several strips of bacon hanging by the window. And a few jars of pickles in the corner.
When you open the door of the utility room, you'll see neatly stacked chopped firewood and several bundles of dry branches for kindling. The dry firewood is probably enough for three or four months if the winter is not over. There are two coal stoves and hundreds of honeycomb coals next to it.
Others are some daily farm tools, winnowing baskets, baskets, woven baskets and other items.
After finding the button that could open the basement, he opened the basement and walked down. I was shocked again. A dozen wooden boxes. After counting carefully, I found that seven of the mouths were made of rosewood and nine of the mouths were made of huanghuali wood. It's really a generous deal.
Open them one by one.
The seven rosewood boxes contained: one box of books, one box of calligraphy and paintings, one box of carved ornaments, two boxes of antiques, and two boxes of jade jewelry.
The nine huanghuali wood boxes are: three boxes of large yellow croakers and six boxes of small yellow croakers.
Emma, calm down. With a wave of the little hand, it was put into the space. Reassured.
Next, take a look at the yard.
Otherwise, why do people say that the emperor, father and mother are particular people? The yard was clean and there was a chicken coop on the right wall with two hens in it.
There is a well in the open space in the front right.
In the left corner there is a tall ladder placed upside down, the kind that is usually used to go up to the roof.
The wall is made of earth bricks. In a village where most people still use fences as walls, this is definitely a "luxurious" courtyard wall.
On the left side of the gate is a 60% new "Forever" brand bicycle. There were only three cars in the whole village, one for Junfu, one for the team leader, and one for the educated youth institute.
As the saying goes, the permanent bicycle is the fighting vehicle among bicycles. Drop resistance, ten stars.
To the right of the courtyard gate are two jujube trees and a bamboo rocking chair under the trees.
There is a private plot of land behind the house. Jun's mother planted a lot of vegetables there. It's definitely enough for your own consumption.
Satisfied, he returned to the room, sat on the kang and thought about what to do next.
I'll probably be living here for the next few years, so having good interpersonal relationships is a must.
Especially when I was sick, there were people who took good care of me: Aunt Lai Shun, the team leader, Zhu Jinfu, and the production team doctor, Old Li.
Aunt Lai Shun happened to be a neighbor, and had been helping Jun Qingqing and her daughter since Jun's father passed away. After Jun's mother passed away, he continued to help the original owner deal with Jun's mother's funeral affairs.
The team leader was also busy helping to greet people.
When Jun Qingqing was sick, Old Man Li paid for the medicine out of his own pocket and gave it to Aunt Lai Shun, asking her to bring it back for Jun Qingqing to use.
After thinking for a moment, he asked Xiaobai to prepare three thank-you gifts in the space.
First, send it to Aunt Lai Shun’s house. What to prepare: half a pound of White Rabbit and two taels of brown sugar.
When we arrived at my aunt's house, the door was not closed. I saw Zhu Lili, Zhu Juanjuan, and Zhu Chenglong playing in the yard.
Zhu Lili is the daughter of Zhu Yusheng, the eldest son of Aunt Laishun. She is three years old this year.
Zhu Juanjuan and Zhu Chenglong are twins, a boy and a girl, who are two years old this year. It’s the home of Aunt Lai Shun’s second son, Zhu Yuxiao’s.
He waved to a few little guys and called them over. Moreover, he took out three big White Rabbits from the space and gave them to the three little guys respectively. The little ones each took one and said in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Qingqing." Their babyish voices were so adorable.
Jun Qingqing squatted down and asked the little ones, "Where is your grandma?"
Zhu Lili was seen running back, shouting into the house: "Grandma, Grandma, come quickly. Aunt Qingqing is here to see you."
Aunt Lai Shun came out of the house quickly and greeted Jun Qingqing.
"Jun girl, why are you here? How are you? Are you feeling better? Come inside and have a drink of water."
Jun Qingqing smiled and replied, "Aunt Laishun, I'm fine now."
Having said that, he walked into the house with Aunt Lai Shun. After entering the house, Aunt Lai Shun was about to make a bowl of sugar water, but was quickly stopped by Jun Qingqing.
"Aunt Laishun, please don't be busy. I came here specially to thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I have to go to Grandpa Li and the captain later. Please keep these things as a token of my appreciation."
Having said that, he turned and walked out of the house.
The next step was to go to Grandpa Li’s house. After all, it was illogical to take something out of thin air. There are many people in the village and they are all familiar to me. Besides, I have to go to Uncle Jinfu's house later, so I'd better be cautious.
Since I am Aunt Laishun’s neighbor, I decided to go home first.
After returning home, he took out the things prepared for Uncle Jin Fu and Grandpa Li, put them into the larger army green cloth bag, and then went out and walked towards Grandpa Li's house.
