Chapter 61: Sorry for your troubles
Yun Yi pointed at a few pieces of furniture she had chosen, and Carpenter Yin quoted the price with a naive smile: "I'll just add the basket to you. Just give me a total of twenty-eight yuan."
Look at the cabinet Geng Erhong pointed at again: "Your cabinet costs twelve yuan."
Yun Yi took out the money from his pocket: "Uncle Yin, I rented the small courtyard where Yan Zhiqing lived before. My uncle in the village will help me repair the house today. Please send it to me in the evening."
Carpenter Yin smiled and took the money: "Okay."
Carpenter Yin collected the money and called his son who was working on the private plot outside: "Qiangzi, come here, help deliver a cabinet to the educated youth center."
Yunyi did not follow him back, but went directly to the commune with a backpack on his back.
Geng Erhong had nothing to buy and originally wanted to accompany Yun Yi.
However, thinking that she hadn't had breakfast yet and had to arrange the cabinets, Yun Yi couldn't be kept waiting, so the two of them went separate ways.
Yun walked quickly and arrived at the commune in forty minutes.
I went to the post office first and learned that the luggage had not arrived yet. I bought a few sets of stamps and envelopes and left.
Nothing is getting better in this commune. On this main street, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a medium-sized iron pot and a woodcutter. Fortunately, I had industrial coupons, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to buy these.
I saw someone selling seasonings nearby, so I ordered some.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone buying kerosene over there. Then he realized that the kerosene lamp he had lit at the Educated Youth Point last night was a kerosene lamp. He quickly looked for it among the receipts given by the Hua family and found that there was indeed a kerosene receipt.
I spent 20 cents on a glass bottle and filled a pound of kerosene. I had the kerosene, but I still didn’t have a kerosene lamp: “Comrade, do you have any kerosene lamps for sale?”
The salesperson glanced at her and said, "It's out of stock." The woman standing next to her kindly reminded her, "Girl, it's more cost-effective to buy some canned food and use the empty bottles to make your own kerosene lamp."
Another woman who came with her gave her a push: "Don't forget to mind your own business wherever you go. Can the one you make be the same as the one you buy?"
"Why is it different? It can be used anyway. The cans fall into the stomach and the bottles can be used as kerosene lamps. It's very economical."
"Why don't you tell me? I used the kerosene lamp I made for one night. It's so close that my nostrils are all black. How can it be compared with someone else's lampshade? Let's go, let's go."
Yunyi knew that they had good intentions, so she smiled at them, and then said to the salesperson: "Please help me get a pack of candles and a pack of matches."
Seeing that it was getting late, I didn't delay any more and walked back out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
When we were approaching the entrance of the village, we found a secluded place, took a lot of things from the space, put them in a backpack, and went directly to the small courtyard we rented.
The party secretary was indeed very capable, and the people she found were quick to work. When she returned, she had already cleared out the roof that needed to be repaired, and was preparing to replace the rafters. There were also a lot of sorghum poles beside it, which were ready to be laid flat and tiled. .
When Yun saw that someone was bringing new tiles on a platoon truck, and the party secretary was following them, she asked curiously: "Uncle, party secretary, did you buy the tiles so quickly?"
The party secretary laughed: "It's not that fast. The tile farm is more than ten miles away from us. You are in a hurry to live in this house, so you borrowed it from the accountant and paid it back after you buy it. "
Yunyi was very grateful after hearing this: "Thank you so much for your trouble."
Seeing that Yun Yi was sensible, the party secretary waved his hand and said: "We are all from the same village, so there is no need to be so polite."
In any case, Yun took this matter to heart and thought about sending something to express her gratitude later.
