Chapter 15 Buying Furniture

Ye Nanyi walked to the center of the village and realized that she didn’t know where the captain’s house was. She looked around and saw a few children nearby. She quietly took out a few pieces of Da Bai Tu milk candy from her space. “Kids, who knows where the captain’s house is? I’ll give the candy to whoever tells me.” Ye Nanyi walked up to the children and said. “Really? I’ve never seen you before! Are you a new educated youth sister?” A little girl with two pigtails said affirmatively. Ye Nanyi nodded and said, “Yes! So who will tell me where the captain’s house is?” “I know.” “Pretty sister, I know, I’ll take you there.” “I know too, I’ll take you there.

” Several children scrambled to take Ye Nanyi there. “Don’t fight, one candy each, but I only need one person to take me there.” Ye Nanyi divided the candy among the three children, and they finally quieted down. “Then educated youth sister, let’s go!” Under the little girl’s guidance, Ye Nanyi found the captain’s house. The little girl with pigtails shouted loudly, “Grandpa Qi, are you home?” Captain Qi Shengguo had just finished eating and was about to take a nap when he heard a familiar voice outside.

 “Old woman, do you think that’s Er Ya’s voice?” Ma Cuifen paused her dishwashing and listened carefully. “It is, I’ll go see what this girl is doing in the middle of the day.” Ma Cuifen quickly opened the courtyard gate, and Ye Nanyi and Er Ya came into view. “Er Ya, why are you calling Grandpa Qi?” Er Ya glanced at Ye Nanyi. Ye Nanyi took over and said, “Auntie, I’m a new educated youth who arrived this morning. My name is Ye Nanyi, and I have something I want to ask the captain.” Ma Cuifen looked at the beautiful young educated youth in front of her and stepped aside. “Come in, he’s home.” Ye Nanyi was about to enter when she looked at Er Ya who had brought her here.

 Er Ya saw that her task was complete and ran away. “Old man, the new educated youth, Ye, is here to see you.” After Qi Shengguo got up from the kang, Ye Nanyi just came in. “Ye Zhiqing, what is this…” Ye Nanyi was afraid that the captain would misunderstand and explained, “Captain, I want to open a door at the back of the house and build a shed to store some firewood.” Qi Shengguo was relieved when he heard this. “No problem, but you’ll have to wait until after work tonight to do it. How are you going to do it?” Ye Nanyi had already thought about it on the way, she would contract the work and materials to the people in the brigade, otherwise she would have to find the materials herself. “Captain, I was thinking, I can pay in money or tickets, and the materials will be from the brigade. You can just tell me how much it will cost.” Qi Shengguo didn’t object, he understood that only by contracting everything to the brigade could a new educated youth get it done.

 “Alright, 5 yuan will do. I’ll also have them enclose your vegetable patch for you. It should be done in two evenings. As soon as work is over today, I’ll have someone install the back door for you.” Ye Nanyi didn’t expect the captain to be so quick, she was happy and secretly took out some Da Bai Tu milk candy. “Captain, Auntie, I don’t have anything else, here, have some candy. I’ll go now.” Ye Nanyi dropped the candy and ran away. Ma Cuifen saw Ye Nanyi’s bouncing gait and laughed, “This little educated youth is interesting, I quite like her. She’s beautiful, her eyes are bright, just a little thin.” The captain looked at his wife speechlessly, knowing that her old habit had flared up again. “Alright, stop thinking about it. I think there’s half a pound of rock sugar, you can take it to your daughter. Just go see how she’s doing.” “Okay.” Ma Cuifen’s spirits sank when Qi Shengguo mentioned his eldest daughter. “Alright, if it really doesn’t work out, just let her get a divorce. We can afford to support her.

” Qi Shengguo saw his wife’s worried expression and finally made up his mind. Ma Cuifen didn’t say anything and continued to tidy up the table. After Ye Nanyi left the captain’s house, she met Er Ya again. “Educated youth sister, do you want to buy a cabinet? My family has one.” Ye Nanyi was just about to go buy a cabinet, she nodded and said, “Okay, let’s go to your house.” Er Ya took Ye Nanyi back home. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw tables and chairs everywhere, and they were quite beautiful. In the future, these would be snatched up! “Dad, this educated youth sister wants to buy a cabinet.” The man who was working heard his daughter’s voice and stopped what he was doing. “What do you need? Just pick whatever you want.

” Ye Nanyi didn’t hesitate, she picked a kitchen cabinet, a wardrobe, two stools, a table, and then she saw a desk. After thinking for a while, she also took that. She also bought a small cabinet, which would be perfect as a bedside table. Er Ya was shocked by Ye Nanyi’s actions. “Educated youth sister, are you buying all of this?” Ye Nanyi nodded and said, “Of course, since I’m here, this will be my home, and I want to decorate my own home according to my own preferences.” Er Ya listened to Ye Nanyi’s words and nodded, seemingly understanding.

“Uncle, how much is it?” Not only Er Ya was stunned, but Qi Yong was also shocked by Ye Nanyi’s big spending. “15 yuan will do, I’ll throw in a washboard for you.” Ye Nanyi didn’t haggle, she directly gave the money to Qi Yong. “Educated youth, what’s your name? I’ll deliver it to you later.” Ye Nanyi realized that she hadn’t even said her name yet.

“Uncle, my name is Ye Nanyi, I’m going back now.” Qi Yong nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll use the cart to deliver it to you later.” Ye Nanyi didn’t stay any longer and hurried back to the educated youth point. Her stomach was already protesting. Arriving at the educated youth point, Ye Nanyi unlocked the door and went inside. She took out a coarse grain steamed bun and a box of milk from her space, and quickly ate them. Actually, Ye Nanyi planned to eat meat buns, but then she thought that people here don’t eat much greasy food, and if someone smelled it, it would be troublesome. “Ye Zhiqing, I’m here to deliver your things.” The voice startled the people who rented the house together. Ye Nanyi didn’t expect Qi Yong to deliver the things so quickly. She quickly threw the milk box into her space, then drank some mineral water, and opened the door.

 “Uncle, just leave it here.” Qi Yong and his men moved all the things to their designated positions for Ye Nanyi before leaving. Ye Nanyi looked at the things she had bought and was very happy. This was her temporary home now. After a moment of reflection, she started working again, wiping all the things clean and neatly arranging the things she would use daily. After cleaning up, there was a knock on the door. “Knock knock knock!” Ye Nanyi opened the door and saw that it was Zheng Changhua. “Zheng Zhiqing, what’s the matter?” Zheng Changhua said shyly, “That, Ye Zhiqing, we also want to buy, well, we also want to change some furniture, where do we go?” Ye Nanyi was wondering what it was about, and told Zheng Changhua the location of Er Ya’s house.

Zheng Changhua thanked her and went to Qi Yong’s house with Zeng Bailing and Wang Xiangdong. After work, the captain brought people to Ye Nanyi’s place.
