Chapter 018 Jiang Sinian is back

Only married people buy furniture in the island city, and usually they want thirty-six legs or seventy-two legs.

Thirty-six legs means a complete set of wooden furniture, including a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bookcase, a dressing table, a desk, and four wooden chairs, totaling thirty-six legs.

Forty-eight legs or seventy-two legs means adding one or more items to the complete set of furniture.

However, Lin Wanxia didn't have enough money to buy a complete set of furniture, even the basic thirty-six legs.

Because furniture is like other items, the price difference between the planned and unplanned prices is a bit big.

With tickets, you can buy everything for one or two hundred, but without tickets, the price will be almost doubled.

After thinking it over, Lin Wanxia decided to buy wood and make furniture herself.

She had been a designer all her life, so making furniture was no problem for her.

Through Lei Yanjun's connections, Lin Wanxia successfully bought several trees, spending a total of 200 yuan.

"Do you know why I can sell it to you at a low price?" Lei Yanjun pretended to be mysterious.

Lin Wanxia nodded, "This is eucalyptus. The growth period is very short, and the wood is good, but it is not friendly to the people who plant it, and it will damage the soil and water."

Lei Yanjun: "..."

"You know all this?! You are not wrong, my cousin found that after planting this thing, the soil at home became very bad, and he was afraid that he could not plant anything else, so he hurriedly cut it down. He was afraid that it would be bad for his health to hit the furniture with this tree, so he dared not use it. Otherwise, I can't sell it to you so cheaply!"

Five trees for 100 yuan, which is not the price for buying willow wood.

"Thank your uncle for me!" Lin Wanxia circled the tree twice, very satisfied.

How could she not be satisfied? She went to the lumber store to ask, and found out that one cubic meter of lumber costs three or four hundred yuan!

Lei Yanjun: "..."

So he is redundant?

***

Lin Wanxia has lost her boat and cannot go fishing at sea for the time being, but there is no rush. She is thinking of making a boat herself after making furniture.

She is an amateur in furniture making, but she is a professional in boat design.

The first thing to do in decoration is to paint.

Lin Wanxia spent two days shoveling the previous wall, smoothing it with fine mud, and then began to paint the wall white with a small roller.

Xingxing came over to help automatically.

The two of them covered their heads with tricorn hats made of old newspapers, but they still could not change their fate of being little cats.

After laughing at each other for a while, they were so tired that they collapsed on the ground to rest.

The stove was still there, but the big pot was taken away by Lin Youzhi, so they had to buy a new one.

Fortunately, the iron pot was cheap, and the big iron pot only cost seven or eight yuan.

At night, Lin Wanxia and Xingxinglu camped in the yard in Jiang Sinian's tent.

Jiang Sinian was really a strange person. He had retired from the army, but his food, clothing and daily necessities were all provided by the army. Who would carry a tent with them? He also had a complete set of portable military shovels.

There were ventilation holes on the top of the tent, and you could see the stars in the sky.

Lin Wanxia told Xingxing a bedtime story while looking at the stars.

She didn't tell fairy tales like the Little White Rabbit, the Big Bad Wolf and Snow White, but jokes she saw on short videos.

Sometimes it's the five permanent members of the Blue Star, and sometimes it's a meeting of the emperors. The

five permanent members of the Blue Star are fun animations made by some bloggers, and the content is the open and secret struggles between the countries with the right to speak in the world.

For example, Eagle Sauce is the world's number one power, Rabbit is our country, Camel is Saudi Arabia, and Foot Basin Chicken, etc.

When the emperors meet, the first emperor usually sits in the middle. Sometimes they discuss the territory of each dynasty, who has expanded the territory, and whose unfilial descendants have to cut meat to feed the eagle.

There is no way. Lin Wanxia was almost 30 years old before she wore it. The fairy tale filter was gone, and with the three-year pandemic, she was more willing to believe in peace and prosperity.

Xingxing had never heard such a story before, so he listened with great interest and firmly remembered the word "fear of insufficient firepower" and was determined to make the most powerful weapon when he grew up.

What he didn't know was that he had learned a lot of geography and history knowledge unknowingly.

Of course, Lin Wanxia didn't think so much when she told the story.

***

White paint is easy to paint. In the room where Xingxing and Jiang Sinian lived, Lin Wanxia mixed a very light light blue paint and painted two layers. Then, according to Xingxing's instructions, she painted a big cartoon whale on the wall. The

next step is to make furniture, and the first one must be a bed.

It's a pity that there are not enough books when they are needed.

Before Lin Wanxia traveled through time, floating beds were very popular. She read so many tutorials on floating beds, but when she really needed them, she found that most of them were left over from her previous life.

Looking down at the various woodworking tools she borrowed, Lin Wanxia was in trouble.

Xingxing was still urging him: "Lin Wanxia, ​​hurry up! Why are you daydreaming in the sun when it's so hot?"

"I..." Lin Wanxia turned her head and happened to see Jiang Sinian hurried back. She was immediately delighted. "Jiang Sinian?"

Xingxing had been fooled many times and thought that Lin Wanxia was helping him again. She pouted and pinched her waist with both hands, "Lin Wanxia, ​​hurry up! I want to sleep in the big bed with the lights on tonight."

"You are so disrespectful!" Jiang Sinian slapped Xingxing on the back of his head.

"Ouch!" Xingxing immediately behaved himself when he saw Jiang Sinian. He dared not say anything and whispered "Dad!"

"Yeah."

"I..." Xingxing just opened his mouth and saw Lin Wanxia running back to the room. Wicked witch!

Soon Lin Wanxia came out with a broken notebook with half of the cover missing.

"On July 12, washing sheets is 50 cents, a pair of children's pants is 20 cents, drying bedding is 20 cents, breakfast is 30 cents, lunch is 60 cents, dinner is 20 cents, a total of 2 yuan. On July 13, breakfast..."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

He waved his hand to interrupt Lin Wanxia, ​​"Just give me the total?"

Lin Wanxia had already calculated it, so she didn't waste time talking, "A total of 422 yuan and 70 cents."

Jiang Sinian: "..."

"So much?"

"We agreed in advance that I would charge you 20 yuan for taking care of the child for one day. I took care of the child for 19 days in total, and the total amount was 380 yuan. In addition, the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation are all recorded in this account book." Lin Wanxia spread out the account book.

If most of the items were not bought at the big market, Lin Wanxia would also attach the invoices at the back of the account book. Unfortunately, ordinary people have limited education these days, let alone invoices, even receipts are not complete.

Jiang Sinian: "..."

He did not take the densely written account book, his mouth twitched, and he searched all his pockets, found 153 yuan, and stuffed it into Lin Wanxia.

"That's all I have. I have to leave the island city for a few days because of something urgent. So, the ship is at the dock and Chen Bin is unloading the cargo. How about you go and unload some of the cargo to make up for the debt?"

Lin Wanxia was stunned for three seconds, and ran towards the port.

Xingxing followed subconsciously.

After running two steps, Jiang Sinian grabbed her by the back of the neck and pulled her back, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to sell fish with Lin Wanxia."

"Don't!" Jiang Sinian said expressionlessly, "You can only follow me. Let's go to the military hospital to see your uncle Cheng."

The main reason was that he couldn't afford to keep up.

His monthly allowance was only about 100 yuan, and Lin Wanxia asked him for more than 400 yuan to take care of the child for 20 days.
