"Little boss, your two rooms are completely finished today. Please check them out." Master Liu came over early in the morning and waited for Li Ming to show up.
Li Ming was not polite. After all, he had to pay for the repairs of his house and had to be careful. Although his mother was still a clerk in the street office, Master Liu would not offend him generally, but he still felt relieved after taking a look.
Under the leadership of Master Liu, Li Ming took a good look at the room where he would live in the future. During the decoration, Comrade Li Ming made some suggestions to make the two west wing rooms and the wing room more comfortable for him to live in. .
As soon as you enter the door from the corridor, you can see the west entrance hall. The area is not as big as the wing room at the back, but it is not bad. It is similar to the area where the Jia family lives.
Entering the door is a paved wooden floor corridor, which leads directly to the back room. There is a bathroom and a toilet on the left side. There is still a lot of free space for adding some furniture in the future.
On the right side of the door, there are a cooking table, a wash basin and a large iron stove in order to keep warm when the winter comes.
A row of storage cabinets was built directly along the wall on the right. It was originally intended to be a shoe cabinet, but later the Li family considered storing food and built a row of storage cabinets directly against the wall. There is another small bedroom next to the ear room on the west side, leaving space for a small living room.
Walking along the corridor to the end, there is the door that Li Ming asked Master Liu to open in the wall. Pushing the door open, there is a quite bright living room. Going forward, he made a partition and opened a door, which can barely be regarded as a second bedroom. There is also a small toilet installed.
The innermost part is a large and bright bedroom. A small bathroom and toilet are built on the south side of the bedroom. The main feature is that there are many toilets. Mom no longer has to worry about queuing for the toilet in the morning!
As for the problem of the direction of the sewer, it’s a joke. My mother is the street manager. The main thing is to write and approve it yourself. It’s good for you, good for me, and good for everyone!
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Master Liu!" Comrade Li Ming was very satisfied with his new house, so he handed the other half of the money to Master Liu and gave him a cigarette.
"Hey, thank you, boss!" Master Liu was even more happy when he saw that the work was done and there was still a cigarette to get.
"If you need anything in the future, just come to me anytime. You can rest assured of our skills."
Li Ming and Master Liu chatted happily for a while before sending Master Liu away.
When Li Ming returned to the hospital, he rolled up his sleeves and started to move. In order to get the right to live in his new home, his sister Li Rui agreed to give Li Ming a massage for a month. Now that Comrade Li Ming is moving today, Li Rui also has to clean up. past.
For this reason, his dear sister sold herself for another half a month.
They kept tidying up until noon, and then they moved all the things in his and his sister Li Rui's rooms to their new home. His sister Li Rui lives in the second bedroom next to the master bedroom. As for Comrade Li Ming, of course he lives in the master bedroom. After all, My own room.
After casually starting a fire at home to satisfy his stomach, he rode his bicycle to prepare for the trust store to buy furniture. This was what he had promised his parents last night. After all, the new home was ready, and the furniture had to be put on the schedule. Today was the day to buy it. The vacation was completed in one day, and everyone was happy.
If you can still have a rest day tomorrow, take a good rest. What you need is to do personal things during work and also do personal things during breaks. However, Comrade Li Ming's request for leave was different from others. The money was calculated as usual, and Section Chief Xu approved Li Ming's outbound purchase, which would not cause any loss to the comrades in his unit.
"Hey, Akiko isn't at work!"
As soon as Li Minggang pushed the car out of the door, he met He Yuzhu who was coming back.
"Well, I asked for leave today. Brother Zhuzhu, did you also ask for leave?"
He Yuzhu waved his big hand, "Hey, why should I ask for leave? If there is no small stove in the afternoon, I will be fine. I just want to come back today to catch up on my sleep."
Sour, so sour! It’s really nice to have a craft.
But I seem to be doing well on my own, so that’s okay!
"I'm going to buy something, see you brother Zhuzi!" Li Ming and He Yuzhu had nothing to talk about, and they didn't talk much. Comrade Li Ming didn't like chatting with licking dogs, mainly because he was afraid of being infected!
Although He Yuzhu hasn't licked him yet, Jia Dongxu hasn't died yet, so it's better to stay far away. He finally lived a new life, and he didn't come to this "Love Courtyard" to change the plot. As long as you don't mess with me, you can say anything. , I would be embarrassed if I offended him. There is a lot of room in the space, and it is more than enough to pick a place to bury someone.
Comrade Li Ming hummed a little tune and went straight to the trust store. At this time, the trust stores in Sijiucheng in the 1950s were a feature of the time. These stores were mainly distributed in various prosperous commercial areas, such as Xidan, Caishikou, Tianqiao, and Xisi. , Dongsi, Beixinqiao, Xinjiekou, etc.
Li Ming's first plan to go today is Beixinqiao, which is close to home.
The operation model of a trust store is mainly to receive items from customers and sell them on their behalf. Customers can send items to the trust store, which will sell them on their behalf. The sales price is determined by negotiation between both parties, and the store has no right to change it. If the item is sold, the store will charge a certain handling fee; if the item is not sold, the store will return the item intact to the customer without paying a fee.
According to different business scopes, the original trust stores can be roughly divided into three categories: one is for collecting and selling miscellaneous items, from cameras, handicrafts, watches to clothing, leather shoes, hats, clothes, etc.; the other is for collecting furniture, beds, etc. , tables, chairs, boxes, wardrobes, etc.; there is also a category that sells bicycles, including complete bicycles and bicycle accessories.
He not only planned to buy furniture today, but also planned to buy himself a watch. Mainly because people from later generations would either look at their cell phones to determine the time, or they would look at their watches. Nowadays, I am not used to looking at the sun every day!
There will be a lot of good stuff on the market next year. Then I can exchange the grain for two watch tickets. It will be great!
The fair transactions and honest management of these trust stores have won the trust and love of old Beijingers. Some stores will even provide customers with the service of reimbursing part of the money to prevent criminals from using trust stores to "sell stolen goods". If there is any problem with the items, they can also find the owner.
Comrade Li Ming, who was in a happy mood, parked his bicycle at the entrance of the Beixinqiao Trust Store and dived in. After asking for directions, he found that the second-hand furniture was all placed on the second floor and in the warehouse in the courtyard behind, and went straight to the second floor.
When he got to the second floor, he saw several salesmen leading their customers to browse upstairs. Li Ming didn't have to worry about it, picked a direction and strolled over.
After a while, a salesperson put down the customer on hand and came over.
"You guys want to pick out some furniture?"
Li Ming turned his head and glanced at the salesman. He couldn't say that he had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, but he still had a horse face. For details, you can refer to Xu Damao in the backyard.
"Well, our new house has just been renovated, and I plan to come over and pick out some eye-catching furniture. Do you have any good stuff that you can introduce to me?"
This salesperson Wang Tieniu has worked in the trust store for several years, and he has mastered his skills. Most people who come to the trust store to choose furniture are either trying to get a bargain, or they are really knowledgeable!
