In the village, craftsmen such as carpenters and bamboo craftsmen do not need to work. Therefore, Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei successfully found Uncle Li.
When they arrived, Uncle Li was repairing a lame chair.
"Second Uncle Li, we are new educated youths who want to buy some furniture." Lin Nianhe walked in, looking familiar as if he were a neighbor coming to the door.
"Well," Uncle Li nodded, "What do you want?"
Lin Nianhe poked Wang Shumei and motioned for her to speak first.
Wang Shumei said: "I want two wooden basins and a kang table. There is no rush for the kang table. I just need to make it before the beginning of winter."
Their house is not like Lin Nianhe's house, which lacks everything, so it doesn't matter if the kang table is set later.
Uncle Li said without raising his head: "They are all gadgets, half a day is enough."
Lin Nianhe touched his nose: "I want a bit too much, so I need you to measure it."
Uncle Li put down what he was doing and looked at her: "What do you want?"
"I need a desk and chairs, a kang cabinet, a wardrobe and a cupboard. I also need a kang table."
Uncle Li never thought that he could get a big job from an educated youth.
This is a complete set of things. Ordinary families don't need much for a dowry like she does.
He reminded: "Girl, when you return to the city in a few years, you won't be able to move these things away."
Lin Nianhe smiled innocently: "I know, but you can't live without these things, right?"
Whether she can move...it depends on whether she wants to move.
If she wanted to, the house in the backyard would be moved along with its foundation!
Lin Nianhe knew in her heart that if there was no better way, Lin's parents would not allow her to go to the countryside, so she had no illusions about returning to the city early. When the college entrance examination resumed, it would be natural for her to leave after being admitted to university. .
There are still more than two years left, and she doesn't want to wrong herself.
And she didn’t care about the money for buying furniture. She was very confident—Apple gave it to her!
Second Uncle Li looked at Lin Nianhe and curled his lips, thinking that city kids just don't know how to live, but he honestly picked up the ruler and followed them to the educated youth point from a distance, hands behind his back.
The old educated youths all went to work. Among the five new educated youths, only Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei were still awake. The educated youth spot was quiet and extremely quiet.
Uncle Li followed them to the backyard. As soon as he entered the house, he was so surprised that he clicked his tongue.
Good guy, this little guy has a lot of stuff! No wonder it’s so generous.
Lin Nianhe and Wang Shumei did not enter the room, but lay by the window to communicate with Uncle Li.
"Yes, the wardrobe is placed against the wall, and the desk is placed under the window." Lin Nianhe smiled innocently, "The light is good."
Uncle Li was very dissatisfied with her gesticulating: "Do you have any other place here besides under the window?"
Lin Nianhe: "..."
That's right. It's not her fault that the place is small!
Uncle Li quickly memorized the size. After going out, he stood in the open space with his hands behind his back and held out three fingers to Lin Nianhe: "You don't need to worry about the wood. This is the number."
Lin Nianhe vowed to secure the position of the second generation of rich people. Hearing this, he didn't even pay back the price, and nodded directly: "Okay, just wait, I will get the money for you."
She doesn't want to be taken advantage of, but if she doesn't establish a solid second-generation rich persona, she won't be able to spend the money she earns from her "Apple Bank" in the future.
Living a miserable life with a pocketful of money? This is not her style.
Lin Nianhe took out three big cards and handed them directly to Uncle Li like a silly girl from a landlord's family.
The corners of Uncle Li's mouth trembled slightly. He felt that if he had just asked for fifty, this idiot would be able to agree.
Pulling out a big unity card, Uncle Li said, "I'll take these first, and I'll give them to you after I've made the rest."
"Okay." Lin Nianhe said, "Uncle, please work harder. I have nothing and life is too troublesome."
"Well, I don't have much work recently. I'll make this girl's basin for you after I finish it." Second Uncle Li thought about it for a while, "I'll make the table, chairs and cabinets for you first. The cabinets can be made later."
"Sure, it's up to you."
Uncle Li looked at Lin Nianhe's silly smile, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "The scraps should be enough to build two more wooden basins, so I'll build them."
He felt like he had deceived the little bastard, so he gave me two basins to make up for it.
"Hey, thank you uncle for taking your time."
Uncle Li said "Hmm" and said, "I'll bring it to you when it's ready."
Uncle Li was about to leave, and then Wang Shumei remembered that she hadn't given the money yet, so she quickly stopped the person and went back to the house to get the money.
Standing in the front yard, Lin Nianhe asked casually: "Uncle, do you know where I can buy large water tanks?"
Uncle Li didn't ask the reason, and after pondering for a while, he said, "There is something unused in Yamato's house. It is leftover from water storage during disaster years. If you want it, I will ask you on the way back when I go back."
"Sure," Lin Nianhe didn't expect it to be solved so smoothly, "If the captain's uncle has some, please ask him to bring them to me, and I'll exchange them for them."
Except for craftsmen, private sales cannot be made explicit. It's said to be a replacement, but for what exactly... there's no need to say it clearly.
Uncle Li was more reliable than expected. As soon as Lin Nianhe spread the realgar powder half a circle along the wall, Li Xiaoshan came pushing a water tank half a person high on a cart, followed by Aunt Li.
"Hey, why don't you take a break, girl? What are you doing?"
When Aunt Li saw Lin Nianhe, she thought of toffee and brown sugar. She looked at her like she was looking at a candy jar, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Lin Nianhe straightened up and replied with a smile: "My brother brought me realgar powder and sprinkle some insect repellent ants on it."
"This is a good thing," Aunt Li pulled Lin Nianhe to a small corner and whispered, "Girl, I won't cheat you. This water tank is sitting at home and no one is using it. Just give me five yuan."
Lin Nianhe looked at the large water tank made of solid materials. It was not expensive even in the previous life. She nodded sharply: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Aunt Li looked at her with more joy in her eyes.
Lin Nianhe gave the money to Aunt Li and whispered: "Aunt, you have also seen that I am making the fire myself now, and it is not easy to get food from other people's old educated youths. I want to open a piece of land here, just in front of the door. , as long as it’s enough for me to eat. But I’m not familiar with the work, can you find someone to help me? The salary is easy to talk about.”
After what happened at noon, Lin Nianhe did not plan to ask Sun Guanghui for help anymore. Not only would he have to owe favors, but he would also easily attract people to gossip.
She believed that if she gave five yuan to any villager, they could plant all their land for her.
If something can be solved with money, don't be ungrateful. This is the unchanging truth.
After all, money is easy to make, but favors are hard to repay.
Aunt Li laughed after hearing what she said: "This piece of land is as big as a palm. Your brother Xiaoshan can clear it for you in one afternoon. What more money do you need? Xiaoshan, go and get some stuff when you go home and help Lin Zhiqing clear the land." Cultivated.”
Li Xiaoshan has a busy working temperament. After hearing what Aunt Li said, he moved the water tank and dragged the cart away.
Aunt Li was generous, but Lin Nianhe didn't dare to let people work for free, so he managed to stuff her with another five yuan, keeping the hat of the bully firmly on his head.
Aunt Li was so happy that she directly took the vegetable seeds from her home and asked Li Xiaoshan to plant them while she helped Lin Nianhe fetch water and scrubbed the water tank until it was shiny.
Considering Lin Nianhe's reputation, Aunt Li sat at the door this afternoon to supervise the work.
Lin Nianhe brought out a bag of melon seeds and chatted with her. In one afternoon, he found out all the basic information he wanted to know about the Shili Brigade and conveyed everything he wanted to say.
There were also some things that Lin Nianhe didn't want to know about, and Aunt Li also talked happily.
For example, Zhao Zhuangshi, the second-rate boy in the village, whistled at the eldest girl again; the eldest daughter of Liu Erling's family was forced to return to her parents' home after her third pregnancy as a girl; and the Zhang family's little Tiezhu fell into a river while going to school. It's in...
Lin Nianhe recognized half of the people in the village after listening to the gossip. Shortly after Aunt Li left, her daughter Li Hehua ran over with a small basket and gave Lin Nianhe a basket of vegetables.
Li Hehua was just ten years old, and her old daughter was always favored. The little girl was raised to be white, tender, and extremely cute.
Li Hehua spoke softly and loved to blush like her brother: "Sister Lin, my mother said that it will take a long time for your vegetables to grow, so she asked me to bring you some vegetables. She said that you should not save it. I have a lot of vegetables, you can pick whatever you want at home."
Lin Nianhe shaved her cheek and stuffed the remaining melon seeds from the afternoon into the little girl's pocket: "Thank Aunt Li for me, please take your time on the way back."
Li Hehua nodded her head, but wanted to take out the melon seeds: "Mom said you can't take Sister Lin's things..."
"Just don't tell your mother." Lin Nianhe held her hand and gave her the empty vegetable basket with a smile, "Go back to eat quickly, don't keep Aunt Li waiting."
Li Hehua tilted her head, feeling something was wrong, but couldn't tell.
Lin Nianhe sent Li Hehua out of the gate of the Educated Youth Point. When he turned around, he heard Wang Xue, who was sitting at the door of the kitchen picking vegetables, saying:
"Lin Zhiqing is so popular. The little girls from the captain's family come to bring you food."
