The thing Lu Miao took was either a jar or a bowl.

They are all flashy and gaudy, and at first glance they are not for ordinary people’s homes.

Not to mention that the person in charge of the scrap station looked at her several times, even Fu Jingyou was also alert.

Fu Jingyou was among the people who were knocked down in the past, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

But when Lu Miao winked at him, he swallowed his words and calmly cooperated:

"Okay, let's check the price first. If it's more expensive than the pickle jar, don't buy it. The porcelain tiles look thin and not very strong."

The young couple cooperated, and after speaking, they turned directly to the caretaker who was warming up by the stove.

Fu Jingyou moved his elbow, pushed Lu Miao behind him, pointed at the things Lu Miao counted on the ground and asked:

"Comrade, how much do these cost?"

The gay man came over, glanced at the miscellaneous tools in Fu Jingyou's hand, and didn't rush to answer how much.

"I see that you guys are very unfamiliar. Do you live here?"

Fu Jingyou nodded warmly:

"The house is still being renovated, and we will be moving here in a few days. No, I'm missing a lot of things, so I came here to do some shopping and see if there's anything I can use."

The year is not good. Regardless of whether it is a capital or a big city, there are many miserable people in and outside the city.

It is almost normal to come to the scrap station to pick out usable things. It is not shameful and is very normal.

Especially in the north, there are few mountains and forests, and everywhere is public property.

Many people who don't have wood to buy furniture for their weddings will go to the scrapyard first.

If there is something good, pull it back and do it yourself. If the condition is good, ask a carpenter to plan it.

The male comrade in charge nodded and wanted to say something. Suddenly a female voice came:
"Sister-in-law, little Fu!"

Lu Miao tilted his head, and at the corner of the street, Mei Zi came running with a disgraced face.

"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, have you moved here? I haven't seen you coming here in the past few days."

"Mei Zi, are these two new residents in the alley?"

The gay man in charge asked Meizi.

Meizi nodded and said truthfully:
"Brother Zhuzi, it's the one at the intersection of Qingta Hutong."

Liu Xiaozhu smiled politely and immediately let him go:

"Turns out he's a neighbor. I thought he was a bad guy who came here after smelling the wind... I think you can give me a dime or two for this bowl and broken jar!"

"Everything here is worthless, as long as it's fun."

Lu Miao took out the money and handed Fu Jingyou two cents.

Fu Jingyou took a look when he handed it out and said:
"Can I get some more wood and boards? It's not even close to repairing the window frames at home."

"Okay, take it as you go, I usually use it as firewood here."

Liu Xiaozhu said it casually, and Lu Miao couldn't help but think of the smashed bed inside.

What a waste of money!
A bed in such good condition, a national treasure-level cultural relic, was just smashed...

This era is really...

Hey!
……

After returning home with a full load of things, Lu Miao glanced at the basket of plums and coals on the way.

Meizi had the greatest credit for being easily let go this time.

Lu Miao's fondness for Mei Zi has increased, and she has the intention to get to know her further.

"You just came back from buying coal?"

Meizi shook her head, her eyes wide and her smile shy:

"I went to the railway, and these were picked up beside the railway tracks for free."

Afraid that Lu Miao wouldn't understand, Mei Zi explained:
"The locomotive burns coal, and sometimes there are coal trains passing through this area, and from time to time something falls off... Usually it is the children who pick it up. I usually go with me when I have nothing to do."

Lu Miao nodded clearly.

The weather hasn't warmed up yet, and most of the people walking on the street are wearing cotton-padded clothes. Meizi is also wearing a thin coat, and she still has a lot of pudding. It is enough to see the poverty of her life.

"We are almost done cleaning up. We will move here in a few days. You are welcome to come and play then."

Meizi nodded, holding the basket with her hands together, feeling a little embarrassed.

After hesitating for a long time, Meizi plucked up the courage and said:

"Sister-in-law Xiao Fu, I, I can do any job. If you don't know it, you can learn it... If you have any work in the future, you can call me."

"I, I don't want money. If there is food at home and you can afford it, just give me a bite..."

After Meizi finished speaking, she stared at the young couple in front of her nervously.

Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou looked at each other, and in the end, it was Lu Miao who was the first to react.

"okay, I get it."

Lu Miao had a decent smile on her face.

Meizi also laughed and ran out a few steps with the basket:
"Then, I'll go back first, little sister-in-law Fu. You can call me later!"

Lu Miao nodded.

Watching Meizi run around the corner, Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou:
"Has she been at home a few days ago?"

"I came here, stayed in the hospital for a while, and left when I saw you weren't there."

Lu Miao nodded her chin thoughtfully.

Back in the courtyard, Fu Jingyou measured the size of the windows, reinstalled wooden window bars, nailed new sliding windows, and installed the glass.

The house is in a concave shape, with two rooms in the courtyard, one side is the utility room and the other side is the kitchen.

The things in the utility room were cleared out, and a kang was installed inside, making it a separate bedroom.

It's okay to have guests stay over later, and that's okay if Lu Yuanzheng is willing to come.

The relationship between Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei was too delicate, and it was not easy for Lu Miao to arrange for them to live in the same room.

There's nothing much to say about the kitchen. The stove was torn down and a new one built.

In the main house, there were originally several partitions, but after pushing down several walls, there are now four rooms left.

Entering the door is the hall, with rooms on the left and right.

The room on the right is slightly smaller, about 25 square meters, because there is a small room at the back.

Lu Miao planned to use that small room as a utility room for the time being.

In the future, when the children are older, they can be tidied up and made into rooms.

With bunk beds and bunk beds, the brother and sister can live together for a few more years. We'll talk about it later when they get older.

It is impossible to live in this small courtyard for a lifetime...

As for the room on the left, she and Fu Jingyou naturally lived there.

The overall pattern is like this.

The house area occupies a small half of the total area. The other part is empty except for the well on the right when you enter the courtyard gate.

There was originally a persimmon tree planted in the corner of the top wall beside the well.

The bottom of the tree was so infested with insects that it looked like it had less than two years left to live, so Fu Jingyou dug it up.

After some thought, I'll see if I can get any other saplings to plant.

The grass in the yard has just been removed and the ground is not very smooth. I don’t have much free time now, so I can only do this for the time being.

When things stabilize, we will sort things out in a unified manner.

There is a large open space in the courtyard, and Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou both plan to wait for the weather to get warmer, then clear it up and plant some vegetables.

In the north, we can’t keep green in the winter, but it’s okay to tinker with vegetables in other seasons.

Lu Miao swept the room a few more times and spread the quilt she brought with her on the kang.

During this period, Fu Jingyou used the remaining small pieces of wood to put together a small mazaar, dismantled several doors in the courtyard, and planed them twice with a wood planer to reveal the new materials inside.

He went to the market, bought a small can of paint, and painted all the doors and windows.
