Chapter 10 Rooms
The sound in the courtyard outside was much quieter, and the oil lamp in the house was getting dimmer and dimmer, Xu Chunhua greeted the sisters outside the door, saying that the hot water had been ready.
The two sisters hurried out, and Fu Manhai had already put the water at their door and left with another bucket.
The two sisters worked together to carry the water back to the room and began to clean up, and after cleaning up, they carried the dirty water to the door.
After the two went to the kitchen to finish washing, Fu's mother was already beckoning the two of them to go out to the public toilet together.
There are no toilets in old-fashioned compounds like theirs.
After some tossing, the yard was already quiet.
Fu Yunlai said goodnight to his parents and returned to the room, climbed on the bed where there would be a sound of broken straw, and lay on the pillow of rice husks that would also make a small sound, Fu Yunlai slowly closed his eyes.
The next morning, when the good fortune came, the whole house was quiet.
Today is not Sunday, not to mention the Fu family, but most of the people in the entire courtyard are working.
The courtyard where the Fu family is located is actually a family compound belonging to the textile factory, and nine out of ten households living here are textile factory workers, and everyone commutes to and from work at the same time.
At this time, the workers are all dedicated to production, and when the factory is busy, not to mention Sundays, even overtime can be done overnight.
Fortunately, although there are many people in the factory, the materials are not so sufficient, and the commuting time has been relatively fixed.
And the Qianqian shoe factory where Fuyunlai is located, I heard that some time ago it was more idle than the Hongqi Textile Factory.
But lately, there have been enough materials, and it has been more than three months, and I only have one day off a month.
When the good fortune came in, it was just in time for the good time, and naturally there was no rest.
With a slight 'whoosh' sound, Fu Yunlai stretched comfortably before getting up.
After packing up, I saw Liu Xiumei sitting alone at the door, guarding her grandchildren playing in the yard while tying the soles of her shoes.
Hearing the sound of good luck coming to open the door, Liu Xiumei looked up at her little daughter and said with a smile: "Come and wake up!" ”
Fortune came and greeted: "Mom! ”
He turned his head and glanced at the house again, but he didn't see Xu Chunhua's figure, and asked, "What about the second sister-in-law?" Something is out? ”
"Her mother's house has something to do recently, so she went back early in the morning. Come and eat now! After Liu Xiumei greeted her daughter, she raised her voice to call the two children.
The children are hungry fast, and although they have eaten with the adults in the morning, they can now mix another bite with the little aunt.
Fortune has long been accustomed to this, and while feeding the two little ones, he also fed himself.
By the time she went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, under the beckoning of other people in the yard, Liu Xiumei had already pulled her two grandsons and was ready to go out.
Before leaving, she asked, "Are you here to find Lan Lan?" The soap factory shouldn't be closed today, you can go out later. ”
"I'm going!" Fu Yunlai nodded, and explained to her mother her plans for today: "Mom, I will go to the state-run restaurant with Lan Lan at noon, and I won't come back for dinner." ”
"Go, go, do you have a ticket in your pocket?" After Liu Xiumei finished speaking, she didn't need her daughter to answer, so she took the food stamp and the meat stamp from her pocket and gave it to her younger daughter.
Then without waiting for her daughter to react, she hurried out under the urging of others in the yard.
Fu Yunlai shook his head funny, looking at the meat ticket with half a catty in his hand, it is estimated that this is all the supplies of their family for a month!
As soon as this ticket is given to her, it is estimated that her father will not want to get touched by the flesh this month.
The rest of the Fu family is different, because it is close to home, and the meal is not in the canteen of the factory.
But Fortune also understands her mother, because she was so lucky to get this job, all thanks to the timely notification of her friends.
For this reason, Lin Lan even mobilized her relatives and friends, and finally got the opportunity to sign up for the factory in the shoe factory where her friend's aunt's house was located, just posting a job recruitment after work for less than a few hours.
Otherwise, in this critical period when she is about to graduate from high school and countless young intellectuals have to go to the countryside, how can she stay in the city safely!
Fu Yunlai was not in a hurry to go out, and when it was confirmed that her mother could not come back, she immediately closed the door.
Before entering the room, Fu Yunlai first went to the outside of the second brother's room to confirm, knocked on the door and pushed it open, and only returned to the room after making sure that it was empty.
After returning to the room, Fu Yunlai carefully glanced at the space in the room, and saw that the room was not too bright.
The old-fashioned shelf bed against the wall took up about a third of the area, and I heard that it was one of the dowries of her mother's original marriage.
It was her grandfather who took his son to build it little by little.
This can even be said to be her uncle's master's work!
But because it has been used for too long, the color of the log seems a little dull, and it looks like dirt.
Fortune has tried to pick out the dirt with his hands when the weather is wet, and it seems that he can pick out the dirt.
Moreover, no matter how much you wipe it, it will not help.
The bed frame was hung with an equally dark mosquito net, and not only was the fabric obviously much stronger, but it also looked extremely rough.
In addition, there are several large and small patches within the visible range of the mosquito net.
There are also patch stacks......
Even...... Another large piece was cut out of a snakeskin bag and mended.
However, it is the whitest of the entire mosquito net, including these patches.
There were two quilts on the wide bed, and compared to her sister's neat tidy tidying, the luck came in a mess.
Thinking that only the position of this bed was enough for her later, Fu Yunlai hurriedly cleaned it up.
The temperature is not low this season, so the good fortune came to cover a single layer of winter quilt sheets, folded and placed on top of the pillow also made of gray gray material.
A slight sound can be made with a light tap.
It was the pillow that her grandfather had brought from the countryside to the two sisters with wheat husks that he felt sorry for her.
The mat made of reeds was also brought up by Grandpa Fu from the village, and even the straw underneath was padded with straw, and when new straw came out every year, Grandpa Fu took his grandson to drive an ox cart for nearly a day.
There is also a compartment under the bed, which is made of bamboo strips, and in my memory, the family divided the house, and the grandparents of this body pulled it from the countryside in an ox cart.
On top of the compartment are some winter shoes and some miscellaneous items.
The floor in the house is compacted soil, and there is not much space left in the whole room except for the bed.
At the foot of the bed, some distance from the wall, there was a large multi-layered cabinet, where the sisters kept their little things.
On the top of the cabinet were a small round wire framed mirror, two wooden combs, and two boxes of used clam oil.
There was also a bottle of alabaster that had not been used much, and a large tea jar with the words "Serve the people".
