The thing Lu Miao took was either a jar or a bowl.
They are all fancy and fancy, and at first glance they are not for ordinary people’s homes.
Not to mention that the person in charge of the scrap station glanced at her several times, even Fu Jingyou was alert.
Fu Jingyou was among the people who were knocked down in the past, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.
But Lu Miao winked at him, so he swallowed his words and calmly cooperated:
"Okay, let's check the price first. If it's more expensive than the pickle jar, don't buy it. The porcelain tiles look thin and not very strong."
The young couple cooperated and said He turned his eyes directly to the caretaker warming himself by the stove.
Fu Jingyou moved his elbow, pushed Lu Miao behind him, pointed at the things Lu Miao counted on the ground and asked:
"Comrade, how much do these cost?"
The gay man came over, glanced at the miscellaneous tools in Fu Jingyou's hand, and didn't rush to answer how much.
"I see that you guys are very familiar. Do you live here?"
Fu Jingyou nodded warmly:
"The house is still being repaired, and we will move here in a few days. No, I’m short of a lot of things, so I came here to look around and see if there’s anything I can use.”
The year is not good, even if it’s a big city, there are many people in and outside the city who are suffering. On fire.
It is almost normal to come to the scrap station to pick out usable things. It is not shameful, it is very normal.
Especially in the north, there are few mountains and forests, and everything is public property.
Many people who don’t have wood to buy furniture for their weddings will first go to the scrap station to stay there.
If there are good ones, take them back and make them yourself. If the conditions are good, then just Have a carpenter plan it.
The gay man in charge nodded and wanted to say something, but suddenly a female voice came:
"Sister-in-law Fu!"
Lu Miao tilted her head, and at the corner of the street, Meizi came running with a disgraced face.
"Sister-in-law Fu, have you moved here? I haven't seen you coming these past few days."
"Meizi, are these two new residents in the alley?"< br>
The gay man in charge asked Meizi.
Mei Zi nodded and said truthfully:
"Brother Zhuzhu, it's the one at the intersection of Qingta Hutong."
Liu Xiaozhu smiled politely and immediately let him go:
"It turns out he is a neighbor. I thought he came here smelling the wind. Poor man ...You can give me a dime or two for this bowl and broken jar!”
“The things here are not valuable, just be considerate.”
Lu Miao took some money. , gave Fu Jingyou two cents.
Fu Jingyou took a look at it when he handed it out and said:
"Can I get some more wood and boards? I'm not even close to repairing the window frames at home."
"Okay, you can take it while you're at it, I'm here I usually use it as firewood."
Liu Xiaozhu said casually, and Lu Miao couldn't help but think of the smashed bed inside.
What a waste of money!
A bed of such good quality, a national treasure-level cultural relic, was smashed like this...
This era is really...
Hey!
......
After returning home loaded with things, Lu Miao glanced at the basket of plums and coals on the way.
Meizi had the greatest credit for being easily let go this time.
Lu Miao's fondness for Mei Zi has increased, and she has the intention to get to know her further.
“You just came back from buying coal?”
Mei Zi shook his head, his eyes were magnanimous and his smile was shy:
“I went to the railway, these are beside the railway tracks Picked up, no money required.”
Afraid that Lu Miao wouldn't understand, Mei Zi explained:
"The locomotive burns coal, and sometimes there are coal trains passing through this area, and from time to time there will be ones that fall off... Usually children go there. Pick it up, I’ll go with you if I’m fine.”
Lu Miao nodded in understanding.
The weather hasn't gotten hot yet, and most of the people walking on the street are wearing cotton-padded clothes. Meizi is also wearing a thin coat, and she still has a lot of pudding. It is enough to see the poverty of her life.
"We are almost done packing. We will move here in a few days. You are welcome to come and play then."
Meizi nodded, holding the basket with his hands together, a little embarrassed.
After hesitating for a long time, Meizi plucked up the courage and said:
“Sister-in-law Fu, I, I can do any job. If you don’t know it, you can learn it... If you have any job in the future, , you can call me.”
“I, I don’t need money. If you have food at home and you can afford it, just give me a bite...”
After Meizi finished speaking, she stared nervously at the young couple in front of her.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou looked at each other. In the end, Lu Miao was the first to react.
“Okay, I understand.”
Lu Miao had a decent smile on her face.
Mei Zi also laughed and ran out a few steps with the basket:
"Then, I'll go back to Sister-in-law Fu first. Call me later!"
Lu Miao nodded.
Watching Meizi running around the corner, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou:
“Has she been at home a few days ago?”
“She has been. She stayed in the hospital for a while. See you. Just leave if you’re not here.”
Lu Miao nodded her chin thoughtfully.
Back in the courtyard, Fu Jingyou measured the size of the windows, reinstalled the wooden window bars, nailed new sliding windows, and installed the glass.
The house is in a concave shape, with two rooms in the courtyard, one side is the utility room and the other side is the kitchen.
The things in the utility room were cleared out, and a kang was installed inside, making it a separate bedroom.
It’s okay to have guests stay over later. It’s okay if Lu Yuanzheng is willing to come.
The relationship between Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei was too delicate, and it was not easy for Lu Miao to arrange for them to live in the same room.
There is nothing to say about the kitchen. The stove was knocked down and a new one was built.
In the main house, there were originally several partitions, but after pushing down several walls, there are now four rooms left.
Enter the door is the hall, and there are rooms on the left and right.
The room on the right is slightly smaller, about 25 square meters, because there is a small room at the back.
Lu Miao planned to use that small room as a utility room for the time being.
In the future, when the children are older, they can tidy it up and make a room.
Putting up bunk beds, the brother and sister can live together for a few more years, and we’ll talk about it when they get older.
It is impossible to live in this small courtyard for a lifetime...
As for the room on the left, naturally she and Fu Jingyou live there.
The overall pattern is like this.
The house area occupies a small half of the total area. The other part, except for the well on the right hand side after entering the courtyard gate, is empty.
There was originally a persimmon tree planted in the corner of the top wall beside the well.
The bottom of the tree was so infested with insects that it looked like it had less than two years to live, so Fu Jingyou dug it up.
After some thought, let’s see if we can get any other saplings to plant.
The grass in the yard has just been removed and the ground is not very smooth. I don’t have much free time now, so I can only do this for the time being.
When things stabilize, they will be sorted out in a unified manner.
There is a large open space in the courtyard, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou plan to wait for the weather to get warmer, then plow it loose and plant some vegetables.
Here in the north, we can’t keep green in the winter, but we can still tinker with some vegetables in other seasons.
Lu Miao swept the room a few more times and spread the quilt he brought with him on the kang.
During this period, Fu Jingyou used the remaining small pieces of wood to build a small mazaar, dismantled several doors in the courtyard, and planed them twice with a wood planer to reveal the new materials inside.
He went to the market, bought a small can of paint, and painted the doors and windows all over. (End of this chapter)
