Chapter 24 Buying Furniture

Chen Changqing vaguely agreed, but was bored to the core.

He is also a cheap talker, saying what the water tank is for, it's fine, but he recruited himself a thankless job.

I have to pay for it myself!

After the meal, Chen Changqing went back to the room and slowly realized that he was the team leader, how could Susie order him to do things so naturally?

He couldn't refute it, which was really frustrating.

Su Qian and the others also finished their meal, and several female educated youths cleaned up the stove together.

Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang went to fetch water before it was completely dark.

Su Qian suddenly heard someone shouting in the yard, "Su Zhiqing—Su Zhiqing—"

When she came out of the house, she saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with a round face, looking around.

Susie waved to the little girl, "I'm Susie, are you looking for me?"

The little girl ran over, "My grandma told me to come and find you, and told me to take you to buy furniture."

Su Qian realized that the little girl's grandmother should be Captain Xu's daughter-in-law.

She tugged on the little girl's shofar braid, "Okay, wait for me for a while, I'll go back to the house to get the money."

Susie has always kept the money next to her body, but she can't take off her pants to take the money in front of people.

She went back to the house, counted out 50 yuan, put it in her trouser pocket, and grabbed a handful of sorghum rice bought in Qingshi Town and put it in her pocket.

When I came out, I saw Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting talking to the little girl, and Tian Xiaohui was pulling the little girl's croissant with a smile.

Susie handed the little girl a handful of sorghum candy, and the little girl's eyes lit up, "I've eaten this candy before, it's soft, but it's delicious."

When they arrived at Captain Xu's house, Liu Hongying took off her apron and came out, waving her hand neatly, "Come on, I'll take you to Xu Changyou's house."

On the way, Su Qian inquired about the situation of Xu Changyou's family.

This Xu Changyou and Captain Xu are in the same clan, they are clan brothers.

Their ancestors were officials, and after retiring and returning home, they built a magnificent three-entry house in their hometown.

Xu Changyou is the eldest son of a descendant, and the house was passed on to him.

Their family used to have a lot of houses and a lot of furniture, but now that their two daughters are married and the population is small, they don't need that much furniture, so there is a lot of excess.

Liu Hongying brought a few people into the yard, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Sister-in-law Huang, I brought people here!"

The lights in the room suddenly turned on a little brighter, probably because someone had twisted the kerosene lamp.

Then a thin woman came out.

She spoke in a low voice, "Come in and sit down first."

The woman looked to be in her 60s or [-]s. She was very thin, with ravines on her face, and a few deep lines between her eyebrows. She walked with a pair of small feet.

After entering the house, the woman greeted several people, "Sit down, I'll get the key."

There was a coughing sound in the room, and Liu Hongying whispered, "That's Mrs. Huang's man. He is in poor health. He lies in bed all year round and relies on Huang Chunzhen to earn work points to support him."

Tian Xiaohui asked, "Why don't their children take care of them?"

Liu Hongying waved her hand, "Both daughters are married, come back sometime to have a look."

Huang Chunzhen took out the key and opened a door connected to the main room.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Susie coughed, and she quickly covered her nose and took a few steps back.

Huang Chunzhen pointed to the inside, "You can move out whatever you like here, and the price is negotiable."

Susie covered her nose with one hand, and walked in holding the oil lamp with the other. She saw a lot of furniture in the room, and the furniture was covered with dust.

There are tables and chairs, beds, desks, a large wardrobe, and a screen.

Susie saw the screen at a glance. The top and bottom of the screen were carved, and it looked very elegant.

However, the light is dim, so I can't see what kind of wood it is.

Seeing Susie staring at the screen, Huang Chunzhen hurriedly wiped a small area with a rag, and the mother-of-pearl inlaid flowers and birds on the screen showed a palm-sized piece. Just this little bit, it seemed that the whole room was lit up in an instant.

Huang Chunzhen sighed and said: "This is a good thing. The six screens of rosewood are handed down from the ancestors. I don't know how many years ago."

Susie reached out and touched it, and the screen was polished very smooth.

She turned to Huang Chunzhen, "How much does this cost?"

"I have to ask the old man about this." Huang Chunzhen turned and went out as she said.

Tian Xiaohui pulled Susie, "Susie, what's the use of buying this, we are here to buy tables, chairs and wardrobes!"

Su Qian smiled at Tian Xiaohui, "Desks and chairs must be bought, but this one looks good, I like it."

Tian Xiaohui shook her head and sighed.

Huang Chunzhen came back quickly with little feet, and said a little nervously: "My old man said that this screen costs at least 30 yuan."

Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui exclaimed together, "It's so expensive!"

Susie doesn't think it's expensive, she thinks 30 yuan is nothing.

After three or 40 years, let alone 30 yuan, it is estimated that 300 million yuan will not be able to buy it.

Even in this era, rosewood is a valuable wood, not to mention inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and it is still an antique.

Susie estimated that the furniture was from the Qing Dynasty.

It's just that Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui didn't realize the value of this thing at all.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll take this."

Keeping this thing in your hand is just a time deposit that has been deposited for decades.

Susie continued to look at the tables and chairs.

The table is an Eight Immortals table, and I can't tell what kind of wood it is. There are four chairs that go with the table, and the table and chairs cost ten yuan in total.

Both Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting thought it was okay, Su Qian didn't say anything, and went to look at the closet again.

The wardrobe is very big and tall, Huang Chunzhen wiped it, "This is handed down together with the screen, this is the top chest, and it is also made of rosewood inlaid with mother-of-pearl. Make a box."

"This cabinet can also be disassembled into two."

Susie fell in love with it at first sight. This wardrobe is probably made together with the screen, and the style is similar. It looks like a set.

Huang Chunzhen said that the wardrobe cost fifty.

The price shocked everyone in the room.

Both Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui said: "It's too expensive. There are a lot of wood on this mountain. If you cut a few and ask someone to make a cabinet and paint it, it costs at most 30 yuan, and 50 yuan can make two cabinets."

These words are a bit watery. It is impossible for the production team to spend money on the wood, but it must be very cheap, and the price they said is similar.

Aunt Liu also said beside her: "Sister-in-law Huang, the price is a bit high. Originally, Su Zhiqing bought furniture to save time and to make it cheaper. It is not worthwhile to buy it so expensive."

Huang Chunzhen was a little embarrassed, and she also felt that it was expensive, but her man said that they were all good things and should not be sold cheaply.

She looked at Susie embarrassedly, and Susie pointed to several pieces of furniture, "I want the screen wardrobe, plus that set of tables and chairs, let's see how much it costs in total."

Huang Chunzhen said, "Then I'll ask my man again."
