Chapter 17 Spring Cleaning
First, give the house a thorough cleaning. Even if the residence is considered clean on weekdays, the problems of this era are still inevitable.
The dust was too thick. Although the walls had been covered with newspapers, the dust had already fallen off in many places. Especially in the guest rooms where people didn't often stay, spider webs were inevitable in the corners.
When my parents were around, the whole family would do a major cleaning at the end of every month. But this time, during the month, there was no longer a scene of parents cleaning together. In addition, I also had to deal with my parents' funeral affairs during this period, so the house was in a mess.
That's when I want to start over, so I'll start from here.
Find the bedding in several rooms and remove the quilt covers and mattress covers one by one. The disassembled items are sent to the washing machine in the space for cleaning. After washing, they are exposed to the sun in the yard together with the bedding.
Then I took the kang mats from my room and my parents' room out to the yard, washed them carefully several times with detergent and clean water to make sure there was no residue of detergent on them, and then stood them up under the eaves to expose them to the sun together with the bedding.
The kitchen was also cleaned with detergent. At the same time, open the windows and doors of each room for ventilation. Start cleaning the wall dust. Tear off all the old wallpapers one by one, take out a large basket, collect the torn wallpapers, and use them as kindling in the future.
I also boiled a lot of paste in a big pot. At the same time, find the large white drawing paper that I had collected from the stationery store in the space. The kind that comes in very large sheets. Although there is large white paper in this era, the texture is not as good as this kind of drawing paper. Even if someone comes to my house and sees the white paper used to paste the walls, they will not be confused. I just feel that the wall covered with white paper does look a lot brighter.
As for the walls of the parents' room and the guest room, they still used newspapers.
After all, it's okay to stand out, but we shouldn't stand out too much.
I found a tape measure in the space and measured the sizes of the windows in the three rooms. I plan to use the army green banners in the space to make three curtains. After all, banners and sewing machines are readily available in the space.
In this way, it can not only block more cold air in winter. The shading effect is also great when you are resting.
By the time I finished plastering the walls and tidying up the room, it was already past noon. The kitchen cannot always be kept unfired, and it is necessary to warm up the stove when you start over. After lighting a fire, he took out the frozen dumplings from the space and slowly cooked a bowl of them. It can be considered as the first meal of the new home.
In the afternoon, nail the curtains. The kang mat was re-laid after being exposed to the sun.
Quilt cover and mattress cover are ready. The things in my room and my parents’ room are put directly into the cabinets. The room's bathroom is made directly on the bed. And cover it with an extra-large bed sheet to prevent dust. This way, you can live there directly when you want to use it.
Place some decorations in each room. Today's big cleanup has come to a successful conclusion.
Organize the various tickets prepared in the space the night before. After locking the door of the house and the gate of the yard, he walked towards the captain's office.
When we meet people from the village on the road, we always exchange a few words with them.
When I arrived at the team leader's office, I saw him asking the team accountant to leave with a sad face.
After Jun Qingqing knocked on the door and entered, she first greeted the captain.
"Uncle Jin Fu, I'm here. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's nothing. Your sister Jinfen just gave birth to a baby, and your aunt wants to go and see her and bring some things with her. After all, giving birth to a baby is exhausting these days. Although your sister Jinfen married the son of the accountant next door, she still has to live a small family life.
Previously, there were some problems and confusion in the neighboring production team because of the work of the educated youth. Accountant Zhao also used his own money to add to the expenses caused by the chaos, so there was basically no extra money he could use to help his son's family. ”
"I just wanted to ask our team accountant if he had any money I could use for food and drinks. I wanted to borrow some first. But these days, no one has much money to spare."
"Uncle Jin Fu, why didn't you tell me about this? I came here not only to issue a certificate, but also to tell you something."
"I was packing up the things my parents left behind last night. Some of the bills were about to expire, and I was the only one at home, so some of them could not be used.
So I came here today with the intention of giving you these bills that are about to expire, and see if anyone in our production team needs them. I can exchange them for work points or something similar. At the end of the year, when the brigade buys grain, I also buy more. ”
"Jun girl, you have solved my urgent problem."
"By the way, uncle, I plan to go to town tomorrow and see if there's anything else I need. I'm also going to see if I can use up the remaining bills that are about to expire. So this time, in addition to issuing a certificate and giving you the bills, I also hope you can help me get a three-day letter of introduction."
"That's fine. I've already prepared your certificate this morning. See if it's OK. I'll give you a letter of introduction right away. Be careful when you go out on your own, don't show off your wealth, and keep your money and bills safe."
"Okay, got it, Uncle Jin Bok."
As they were talking, the letter of introduction was ready. After getting the certificate and letter of introduction, Uncle Jin Fu called Jun Qingqing to his home for dinner.
These days, no family has enough food to invite outsiders to eat, and Jun Qingqing knows this.
He explained that there was leftover food at home from lunch, and if he didn't eat it today, it would be wasted when he returned from the county town.
The captain's calculation also follows this logic.
After coming out of the captain's office, Jun Qingqing went straight home.
After finishing the remaining work, Jun Qingqing slipped into the space again.
I found Xiaobai and told him about my problem that after cultivating spiritual power, I was not very successful in applying it in a comprehensive way in terms of martial arts moves.
Although he had made some achievements in practicing ancient martial arts in the past, after practicing in the space, he also realized that the ancient martial arts of the previous world were not comprehensive, which caused inconveniences when using them. The second and most important thing is that many moves are known in memory, but the body's flexibility cannot keep up.
After raising his doubts, Xiaobai took out another jade slip.
"Sister, this jade slip contains ancient martial arts moves, but the principle that what is produced in this space must be of the highest quality is eternal. This set of skills is called: Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens. It can perfectly integrate ancient martial arts moves with spiritual power. Let's put it this way, those who are not at the level of a martial god in ancient martial arts don't even have the ability to judge your martial arts level."
