Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 115 The New House

When Meng Tao arrived in Mengzhou, he first went to the railway station freight yard to receive the goods. Ma Fengnian had been waiting there a long time ago. When he saw Meng Tao coming, he immediately dumped the goods for Meng Tao to inspect.

They are all native products with very good appearance and quality, totaling more than a few thousand catties.

Thirty catties of tea leaves, ten catties each of black tea, green tea and white tea.

Meng Tao doesn't know much about tea, she only sees the premium grade written on the packaging, and thinks it's good. She believes that Ma Fengnian, at least for now, Ma Fengnian is very honest, and won't deceive her with shoddy ones.

After paying for the goods on the spot, Ma Fengnian still left first, and Meng Tao closed the door and stayed in the small shed of the goods yard for an hour or two, slowly sorting out the goods, and when the busiest time of cars coming and going in the yard outside was the most hectic, he just took it away. Cargo enters the space, leaves.

After walking around the street a few times, I saw a non-staple food store, took out money and tickets, went in and bought a bag of dried noodles and a catty of eggs, put them in a satchel, and bought another three catties of grass carp and a roast chicken , a catty of stewed pig's scalp, and five or six apples and pears in a net bag, and walked slowly towards Xingzi Lane with them.

The blue wooden door of courtyard No. [-] was locked. Meng Tao took a few steps to push open the gate of No. [-] courtyard which was concealed on the left. The rusty iron door creaked. Walking out of the room, seeing Meng Tao, she smiled and shook the water channel on her hand:

"I said, the left eye twitched early this morning, there must be something good, but Miss Xiaomeng is back!"

Meng Tao said hello to Aunt Wang, and took a good look at the courtyard of her house. It was a little bigger than the No. [-] courtyard she bought. There were only five main rooms, and there were a whole row of side rooms. There are a lot of people, and there are a lot of debris piled up in the open space, which makes the yard look small and messy. There are no floor tiles on the ground, but a cement road about half a meter wide is paved from the courtyard gate to the main house. Walking in rainy days will not dirty your shoes.

Aunt Wang welcomed Meng Tao into the main room, and three little radish heads ran out of the room. The older one was five or six years old, and the younger one was just a toddler, about two years old. In order to prevent the clothes from getting dirty, they all wear an apron made from adult clothes.

Aunt Wang smiled and said that the five- or six-year-old is her youngest son, and the three-year-old and two-year-old are her grandson and family grandson respectively. It has been raining these two days, and the weather is too cold. Neither the youngest son nor the two grandchildren want to go Kindergarten, stay at home and let her watch, the three children almost didn't go to the house, and she was going to be annoyed to death.

Meng Tao handed the fish, roast chicken, pig's skin and fruit to Aunt Wang. There were children at home, so she had to take out another catty of fruit candy from her satchel:

"Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang have helped clean up the yard these days. It's been hard work. I should entertain a meal anyway, but there's nothing in the house yet. I can only buy some vegetables and ask Aunt Wang to cook it herself."

Aunt Wang declined a few times, then continued, smiling all over her face and said, "Miss Xiaomeng is too polite, let's have lunch at my house for a while!"

Meng Tao said: "No, I still have to go to the street to buy some household items. Now I want to see how the yard looks like."

"Okay, I'll get you the key right now. The house has been painted, the ceiling has been replaced, the wires have been replaced with new ones, the doors and windows have been repainted according to the original colors, and I said there are materials. Why don't you paint the outer walls of the house?" Whitewash it too? Your Uncle Wang said that I don’t understand that people only look good with red walls and blue tiles, isn’t that true?
After two days of painting and painting, your Uncle Wang and I started to clean the inside and outside of the house, the windows and the windows, and the yard was also cleaned up. The flower pots were not moved according to what you said. Your Wang Uncle also passed the gutter, and the toilets are all clean... Here, the key is here, you go and see, I will go with you. "

"No need, take care of the child, don't let it bump you."

"Hey, okay! Then when you finish reading, come and talk to me."

"Ok."

Meng Tao took the key and went out, opened the gate of No. [-] courtyard, and now it was his own courtyard.

The dead branches and fallen leaves on the ground in the yard were swept away, the flower shelves were repaired, and the hanging dead branches were cut off. The whole yard looked spacious and tidy, and looked very comfortable.

I checked the inside and outside of the house, the whitewashed walls, the bright and clean floor, basically as Aunt Wang said, everything was finished, Uncle Wang's handwork is very meticulous, the walls and paint can't find any faults, the kitchen was rebuilt according to Meng Tao's request I installed the stove, knocked out the yellow tiles, and pasted pure white ones... The couple didn't know anything else, so they worked hard after receiving the job, which is good.

Next, is to buy some furniture, as well as basic living utensils.

Meng Tao replaced the locks of the house and courtyard with new ones, locked the door and went to the neighbor's house, where Aunt Wang was yelling and dealing with a lawsuit between several children—caused by grabbing fruit and candy.

Seeing Meng Tao enter the room, Aunt Wang hurriedly left the children behind, came to talk to her, took the sugar bowl, and wanted to make a cup of sugar water for her.

Meng Tao waved her hand to say no, and settled the wages of their husband and wife with Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang liked the straightforwardness of the new neighbor very much and tried her best to keep her for dinner. do it.

Coming out of Wang's house, I saw Aunt Zhao and several women standing across the road talking in the middle of the road. Aunt Zhao saw Meng Tao and hurriedly greeted "Miss Meng Meng" and beckoned her to come over. Something happened, ignored the women staring at her, and walked straight out of the alley.

Hearing the chatter behind him, some people asked if this is the new neighbor?At such a young age, who will give her money to buy a house?It is also said that this girl has long eyes on the top of her head, she looks down on people, what is so great?
Meng Tao pretended not to hear.

She knows that the neighbors in this era have a very good relationship, they have close contacts with each other, they can open their doors to each other and accept each other, basically there is no privacy.

She is not an anti-social personality, of course she is happy to see friendly neighbors, but it depends on the situation, everyone has their own temperament, not everyone can get along well, and it is impossible to be intimate with each other as soon as they meet.

She is unwilling to do anything beyond her bottom line.

Meng Tao first went to the sales department of the furniture factory. There are ready-made furniture for sale. The state-owned manufacturers are good at this. Even if Meng Tao doesn't understand wood, he can still buy the furniture he likes according to the price.

The furniture factory sent a medium-sized trailer truck to deliver the goods to the door, and two workers came with the truck to unload the goods. Uncle Wang, who was next door, was home for lunch and hadn't gone out yet, so he also brought his fourth son over to help carry.

After settling down the furniture, Meng Tao locked the door and came out. He saw that Uncle Wang had a tricycle with a bicycle, so he borrowed it from him to go shopping. Uncle Wang was afraid that Meng Tao would not be able to ride a tricycle, so he asked his fourth son Wang Jiancheng to go with him. help with things.

Wang Jiancheng is 17 years old. He is tall and strong. He doesn't like reading. He works as an apprentice with his father. Uncle Wang taught him to call Meng Tao "Sister Meng". He scratched his head and felt embarrassed, thinking that Meng Tao was younger than him. Turning 20 on New Year's Eve, Wang Jiancheng had no choice but to call out "Sister Meng".

The two sat in a tricycle, chatted all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, and bought a set of kitchen utensils such as pots, pans, kettles, etc. Even if they don't live often, a house must have such things.

Other brooms, mops, washbasins, pails;
You also need to buy charcoal and a stove. The old man said that when you enter a residence, you need to burn a big fire to make your house prosperous. Even if it is a superstition, Meng Tao likes to play with fire in winter.

There are supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores in the city. The citizens are very particular and love to go to department stores to buy and sell things. They think that the goods of supply and marketing cooperatives are low-end, but in fact they are not much different, and some of them are exactly the same.

Meng Tao didn't go to the department store, and bought two quilts, bed sheets, mosquito nets, etc. at the supply and marketing cooperative. She kept some toiletries and a change of clothes in the space, so she didn't need to buy them.

Wang Jiancheng pulled the tricycle full of goods back and helped Meng Tao move into the house together. Meng Tao saw him running around and there was no boiled water at home, so he took out an apple from his satchel to quench his thirst. You're welcome, and went home with the fruit.

As soon as I got home, my mother asked the girl next door what she bought?How could Wang Jiancheng count the same items, he only picked a few items and said, Aunt Wang clicked her tongue repeatedly: "This little Meng girl is just too young. She spends a lot of money and buys everything. She doesn't know how to live carefully."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Then why don't you buy it? The house is empty and there is nothing. How can you live if you don't buy it? What do you eat?"

Aunt Wang went to the next door to look at the freshness, and came back after a while, pouted: "The gate of the courtyard is fastened, and there is no answer to shouting."

Uncle Wang said: "People are arranging things in the house, how can they hear you? Even if they hear it, there is no time, so don't bother."

"What are you bothering me about? You move around, you don't need anyone to put things around? I can still help her when I go."

"You don't know what other people want to show off. Young girls have different eyes from your old girls."

"You dirty old man, talk like you know."

"I don't know, it's better than you can see clearly: this girl Xiao Meng is not ordinary, she can't get along with you gossips, if you have nothing to do, don't recruit her, it will annoy you."

"What's unusual? I'm a gossip girl, Xiao Meng came back from the countryside."

"What's the matter in the countryside? The little girl suddenly bought a house with hundreds of dollars, can we do it?"

"That's right, Xiaomeng, a country girl, why is she so rich? Where did she get the money?"

"She is a little girl, she must not have been stolen. You can control her family's money?"

"I have to ask her another day if there is any good way to make money."

"You don't want to be talkative."

"Just ask what's wrong?"

Sitting at the door, Wang Jiancheng gnawed an apple, and said, "Mom, don't ask, I'll tell you: Sister Meng told me on the street just now that she is from the countryside, but Grandpa Ren is a retired veteran cadre with subsidies. I saved up dowry money for her, and she wants to live in the city in the future, so she used it to buy a yard."

"Oh! This prodigal girl can spend all the dowry money. In the future, her husband's family will not be disgusted with her?"

Uncle Wang: "..."

Wang Jiancheng: "..."

Why do you lose money when you buy a courtyard house with dowry money?This is also property.

Aunt Wang inquired about the source of Miss Xiaomeng's money from her son, and she got rid of the confusion. She became bored when there was no novelty, and complained to her son: "How did you find and eat the fruit I hid on purpose? That is to keep Give your second brother a gift tomorrow!"

Wang Jiancheng finished eating the apples, even biting off the cores. They were too delicious to eat: "I don't know where your fruit is hidden, it was just given to me by Miss Meng."

Aunt Wang: "..."

Meng Tao over there didn't know that she had become the topic of discussion in the Wang family. As Uncle Wang said, she was busy in the house, and she really didn't hear anyone calling the door.

Move the furniture, place the supplies, and before the curtains can be sewed, cut the cloth according to the size of the window and hang it to cover it, and then take it to the sewing agency for a car when it is free.

Divide the master bedroom, guest room, and study room, and release the antique case, Eight Immortals table, four Ming Dynasty chairs, and two Qing Dynasty Taishi chairs received in the provincial capital before the space was released, and put them in the study room, covering them with thick velvet cloth. It is firm, and it is usually locked, and no guests will be entertained in this room, and it will not be discovered.
