Chapter 10: Tidy up your room
When Lin Lan woke up again, she was woken up by the brigade's work bell.
The Xinhe Brigade has a radio, which will ring three times in the morning and at noon, and the third time it will be a reminder that it is time to go out.
Lin Lan lay on the bed for a while, and then got up from the kang with difficulty, and after washing, she took some fruit from the space to fill her stomach.
Then I wrapped half a catty of brown sugar in oiled paper, brown sugar was a very popular gift in this era, and for many people, brown sugar water could solve most things.
After stuffing the wrapped brown sugar into her arms, Lin Lan began to walk towards the captain's house.
When I walked outside the captain's house, someone happened to be feeding the chickens in the yard.
Lin Lan stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door: "Hello auntie, I am a new educated youth who came yesterday, my name is Lin Lan, is this the captain's house?" ”
The people in the courtyard turned around: "Yes, I am his daughter-in-law, he has something to go out, is there anything wrong with the little girl?" "This new educated youth looks really spiritual!
Lin Lan walked into the courtyard: "Auntie, I'll look for you, I didn't just come yesterday, I don't have anything, I want to ask where I can change to a kang table, cabinet or something, I also want to build a stove." ”
took out the brown sugar in his arms and handed it to the captain's daughter-in-law: "Auntie, there is a little brown sugar in here, give my aunt a sweet mouth, trouble my aunt to bother for me." ”
The captain's daughter-in-law originally wanted to hand it back, but when she heard that it was brown sugar, she took her hand back: "What's the trouble with this, our brigade has its own carpenter, I'll take you there, as for the stove, let Uncle Yougen in the team help you build it, he should be at home at this time." ”
After the captain's daughter-in-law put away the brown sugar in her hand, she took Lin Lan to Zhang Fugui's house.
On the way, the captain's daughter-in-law told Lin Lan a lot of things related to the team.
When she arrived at Zhang Fugui's house, the captain's daughter-in-law walked in directly with Lin Lan: "Fugui daughter-in-law, at home." ”
"Sister-in-law Ping, the busy man actually has time to come to my house today." The captain's name is Zhao Ping, so everyone generally calls the captain's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law.
"Hey, didn't I show the way?"
The captain's daughter-in-law pulled Lin Lan: "This is Lin Lan, a new educated youth in the team, and I want to exchange something with you." ”
"Rich aunt, I'm sorry for you."
"What's not troublesome about this, you little intellectuals are really good at talking."
The rich daughter-in-law opened the door next to her: "This is all done, what else do you need to tell your aunt, I will tell your uncle when the time comes, and I will do it for you." ”
I heard that a new educated youth was coming, so Zhang Fugui hurriedly made some things to prepare.
"Auntie, then I'll take a look first."
"Kobayashi Zhiqing, then you watch first, I'll help you talk to Uncle Yougen about building the stove now." After speaking, the captain's daughter-in-law left without waiting for Lin Lan to speak.
Lin Lan had no choice but to pick things first.
The room was full of wood products, there was everything, Lin Lan took a small table, two small benches, a kang table, a bedside table, a cabinet, a basin rack, two wooden basins, and two wooden barrels.
Finally, I took a back basket, a cutting board, and a wooden spoon.
"Auntie, I've picked it out, look at these ......"
The rich daughter-in-law saw that Lin Lan had picked out so many things, and she couldn't stop smiling: "These are twenty in total, and there are a lot of things, and my aunt will send them to you in a small cart." ”
Although it is not allowed to buy and sell privately at this time, it is still okay to sell something in your own brigade like a carpenter.
Lin Lan took out two large unity sheets and handed them to the rich daughter-in-law: "Then thank you so much, auntie." ”
The rich daughter-in-law pushed out her cart, Lin Lan's things were reluctantly put down, and the back basket was directly carried by Lin Lan on her back, and there were two small benches and wooden spoons in it.
When the two walked to the Zhiqing Point, the captain's daughter-in-law had already taken people outside the Zhiqing Point, and there were materials for building the stove on the ground, which were also pushed over with a small cart.
After the four of them met, several people helped Lin Lan move things in.
When the captain's daughter-in-law and the rich daughter-in-law left, Lin Lan stuffed three white rabbit toffees into each person's hands: "Give the children in the family a sweet mouth." ”
The two walked happily.
Lin Lan took out three more White Rabbit toffees and gave them to Uncle Yougen: "Grandpa Yougen, I'm going to work hard for you today, how long will it take to build this?" ”
"It won't take long, two hours to finish, but this stove will have to sit for a few days before it can be used, and it will take at least three days."
"I see, Grandpa Yougen." When the time comes, just pile up a small stove outside for a few days.
Because she invited an old man to build the stove, Lin Lan was inconvenient to go to the county seat at this time, so she simply put the things she had just bought first, and then took out all the things in the bag and put them away.
The bedside table is used for clothes, quilts, and some small things. The cabinet is placed next to the stove and can be used to store food and the like.
After finishing it, she nailed nails on both sides of the wall not far from the kang, pulled a rope to get it, and bought a coarse cloth to hang it when the time came.
Lin Lan looked around the room, feeling that it was almost over, and then she simply followed the old man Yougen to help, whether she helped or not was another matter.
After the stove is built: "It's okay, after you have the pot, you can paste a layer of yellow mud around the pot and the stove, plus the money for the adobe bricks, you can give me four yuan." ”
Lin Lan handed over four pieces: "Thank you for Grandpa Yougen today." ”
After the old man left, Lin Lan put on her back and prepared to go to the county seat, just enough to go to the state-run restaurant for lunch at this time.
After walking for nearly two hours, Lin Lan walked to the county seat.
There are bicycles in the space, but bicycles in this era have to be stamped, and people will be met on this road from time to time, so for the sake of safety, Lin Lan still chose to take the No. 11 bus.
Wen Yan and Shen Bai have a bicycle in the educated youth point, but they are not very familiar with them, and Lin Lan is embarrassed to borrow a car.
When she arrived at the county seat, Lin Lan rushed to the state-run hotel as soon as possible, and found that in addition to her, the educated youths who had just arrived yesterday were here.
Lin Lan looked at the few dishes served today written on the small blackboard, and handed over the lunch box: "Comrade, one pot wrapped meat, two taels of rice, and then help me pack two taels of dumplings." ”
"Okay, a total of two pieces, two taels of food stamps, two taels of meat stamps."
Lin Lan handed over the money and tickets, and then walked to Zhu Panxuan's side: "Zhu Zhiqing, can I sit here?" "The main thing is that there is no vacant location in the hotel.
Zhu Panxuan heard the voice and looked up: "Lin Zhiqing, you sit." ”
After Lin Lan sat down, Zhu Panxuan said curiously: "When I got up today, I found that you had already locked the door, you came so early?" ”
"No, I just arrived in the county seat, I went to the captain's house in the morning to ask where I could get a cabinet or something, and then the captain's Aunt Ping took me to Uncle Fugui's house, oh, Uncle Fugui is a carpenter, and then found someone to build a stove."
Lin Lan simply explained it clearly.
Wei Tai thought thoughtfully: "Let's go back and go to Aunt Ping." "They've pretty much bought everything.
After the dishes ordered by Lin Lan were ready, Zhu Panxuan and the others also finished eating: "Lin Zhiqing, then let's go back first." ”
"Well, goodbye."
However, what Lin Lan didn't expect was that when she ordered meat, Wang Yumei didn't say that she wanted to stay and go back with her when the time came.
Where did Lin Lan think that Wang Yumei did have some thoughts about Lin Lan's meat when she left, but after she had already finished eating, she had to forcibly stay and want to eat Lin Lan's meat, it would be too obvious.
She thought about it carefully and decided that she still couldn't do this, after all, she would partner with Zhu Panxuan and the four of them in the future, and it would not be good if they felt that she liked to take advantage of others the most.
