Chapter 8 Settled Down
Zhang Youyou and An Le came to the next door. There was no lock on the door. You can fix this by yourself. They pushed the door open. There was already a thick layer of dust on and under the kang. There were a lot of spider webs on the top of their heads, but it was still good to wipe it clean.
"How about we clean this place out, and it's just the two of us."

"Okay, okay! Didn't you say that when there are more people, there will be more things to do? The two of us are relatively familiar and don't have that many things to do."

After making up their mind, the two of them went out to look for tools such as sweeping. Zhou Jianjun had already finished his meal, so he helped bring them tools and other tools. He also talked to them about the food problem.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhou. We are going to go to the village to exchange food in the afternoon. Now we will clean up and make some repairs."

"Okay, then get busy. We have to go to work. We can talk about other things at night."

After Zhou Jianjun finished speaking, he went to do his own thing. Zhang Youyou took out the tattered clothes from his backpack and put on them. He put on a hat, took a gauze mask and glove sleeves, and wrapped them all up.
He tied a feather duster to a bamboo pole and then entered the room full of dust and cobwebs like a warrior.

Anle asked Zhao Pandi in the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and then waited for Zhang Youyou to come out and wipe the dust.

"An Zhiqing's water is already hot in the pot. Don't worry about the fire on the stove. You guys get busy first. I'm going to the ground too."

"Thank you Zhao Zhiqing, I understand, then go and do your work! I will do the rest myself."

Zhang Youyou went back and forth three times to clean up the spider webs in every corner of the room.

"Huh~huh, the dust is really big, it's suffocating me."

Zhang Youyou's little face turned red from suppressing it, which made An Le laugh so hard.

"Okay, you rest for a while and leave the rest to me."

The two of them worked well together and the room was quickly cleaned. The next step was to put their things in.
"Come on, let's eat something first. I'm really hungry anyway, so I need to cushion my stomach first!"

Zhang Youyou took out a total of four Wuren mooncakes wrapped in oil paper and gave two to Anle.

"Thank you! I also like to eat Wuren mooncakes, but it's still early for the Mid-Autumn Festival! Are there mooncakes at this time?"

Anle's face is full of question marks?Aren’t mooncakes only available during the two days of Mid-Autumn Festival?It’s still several months before the Mid-Autumn Festival!
"I made it myself, but I only have the mold for the Mid-Autumn Mooncake, so the cake looks like this when it is made. Anyway, the content inside is not arranged to my liking."

"Wow, it smells so good! When you said that just now, I thought it wasn't Wu Ren now! You are so awesome, you can even make mooncakes."

Anle bit into a piece of rock candy and her eyes narrowed with joy, her teeth clicking together.

After the two of them finished eating the mooncakes, they went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of hot water from a thermos and drank it before going back to the room to pack their things.
"There is no quilt in your backpack. What are you packing in such a big bag?"

While Anle was tidying up her bed, she accidentally saw that Zhang Youyou was a little surprised when she didn't take out the quilt.
"Everything should be at the post office. I'll go get it back tomorrow. It's not cold anyway. It's okay to put on two pieces of clothing and fall asleep at night."

"How about that? It's just for tonight, so just squeeze in with me!"

"No need, what if I kick you away while I'm drunken boxing tonight?"

Zhang Youyou said jokingly,

"Forget it! I have been taught boxing by children. My little nephew was only two years old. He kicked me in the stomach when I was sleeping at night and it really hurt me for three days."

"Oh haha! The price is quite high." Hahaha,

"Hahaha, yes! That's why as soon as I heard this, I immediately didn't want to sleep with you!"

"I just asked, we are going to buy a cabinet! Do you want it?"

"Yes, why don't you want it? The washbasin needs a shelf, and there are two wooden nails on the wall. I think we should nail a few more, like hats and scarves in winter, umbrellas in summer, and other miscellaneous things. Just hang it here." "That's not bad, let's put up a rope! When it rains, there will be a place to hang the undried clothes."

The two of them closed the door as they spoke. Zhang Youyou took out a lock, locked the door directly, took a key from the key ring and handed it to Anle.

"Here, this key is installed, each of us has one, and the remaining one is kept there as a spare key."

"I'll do whatever you want, then I'll take advantage."

"The locks are my things. If you don't obey, I will take the key back and won't let you in."

"No, no, no! I am the most obedient. You can't let me have a home and not be able to go back."

"Haha, look at your performance."

"Of course I performed the best."

"When you go out, turn left and follow this road for two intersections, then turn right and then left..."

"what are you saying?"

Zhang Youyou didn't hear clearly, what on earth was Anle talking about?
"Wang Zhiqing just told me about Sun Carpenter's house. As soon as you interrupted it, I forgot about it."

Anle looked at Zhang Youyou with some resentment. He didn't remember it very clearly.
"Ha ha!"

Zhang Youyou ignored her, gave her a look and let her think about it.

"Kid, wait a minute! Let me ask you something."

Sun Erya was carrying a bamboo basket and was going to dig wild vegetables in the mountains when she saw two strangers and was feeling strange!When he saw the man saying hello, he stopped.
"We are newly arrived educated youth and want to buy some furniture. Do you know how to get to Carpenter Sun's house?"

Zhang Youyou took out two orange candies and gave them to the little girl, and asked with a smile,

"Carpenter Sun, I will take you there."

Sun Erya was immediately happy when she saw the candy. She grabbed the candy and put it in her bag, turned around and ran away.
"Hey, slow down, don't be in a hurry!"

The two of them hurriedly followed. The little girl ran quite fast, but it was really hard to find her in all the twists and turns without someone to guide her.
"This is Carpenter Sun's house. Go in by yourself!"

Sun Erya pointed to the house next to her and ran away. She still had to dig wild vegetables!If you are slow, you will be scolded.

"Is there anyone at home? Is Carpenter Sun at home?"

Anle felt her voice was loud and shouted directly outside the yard,
"Yes, yes, please stop shouting. What's the matter?"

Carpenter Sun's wife heard it in the room and quickly put down her work and came out.
"Hello, we are new educated youths. My surname is Zhang and her surname is An. I want to come to Carpenter Sun to make a cabinet."

When someone opened the door, they walked into the yard and said to the woman,
"Oh! You ask our boss, wait a minute, he is still in the pit! You two sit down for a while and tell me what you want."

"Okay! I want to build a wardrobe, a washing rack, and ten clothes racks for drying clothes. The wardrobe is divided into four floors, each with its own door, and it needs to have a lock..."
