Chapter 35 New Foothold
The carriage went very fast, and it didn't take long for it to arrive at the place while talking.
Clerk Xiao Wang got out of the car and tied his horse. After taking the key and unlocking the door, he led Bai Yumei and Bai Yuxue, who was holding Tian Tian, into the yard.
After everyone went in, he turned back to the carriage, took the bag with both hands, and introduced with a squinted smile, "Because it's for Comrade Bai and your wife, so the house is not very big, there are only two rooms. , the kitchen is separate in the courtyard."
"It's a little bit small, but fortunately, this house is a single-family house, and the location is right next to the street. The clerks in our village include some police comrades, as well as our village chief comrade's family. If you live near here, you can call someone at home if you have anything."
"There is also running water in the yard. It's very convenient to wash clothes and cook. Oh, even if the water is occasionally cut off, I'm not afraid. If you walk along the street outside, you will find a well. Yes. Waiting for the technician from the village to come back in two days, you can also ask him to help connect the wires."
"When I woke up this morning, the family members of several clerks in our village had already helped to clean it up. The house was clean inside and out, and the kang in the house had passed ahead of schedule, and it was burning without smoking."
"Comrade Bai, let's see if you need anything else. If you have any requirements, just mention it. You're welcome."
Bai Yuxue smiled and nodded, and thanked him again.
She glanced around. The house and the yard were not that big, but they were enough for the mother and daughter.
There are two small bungalows with blue bricks and blue tiles in front of them. Perhaps it has been uninhabited for a long time. The appearance looks a bit run down, but it is better than the strong and airtight structure.
There is a kang at the top of the house, and the kang pit leads to the yard, and a half low wooden stove is built. The pots and stoves are all complete, even if you move in with a bag, it will not affect anything.
is just a place to stay during the temporary transition period. It is good to have such conditions.
Bai Yuxue was quite satisfied with the small courtyard in front of her.
In my heart, I am even more grateful to the mayor of Jiang, together with the thoughtful and attentive comrades of the clerks in the township.
Bai Yumei only heard that there were police comrades living nearby, so she was speechless.
No matter how the house is, it is a nest when it is organized. The most important thing is that her sister, an orphan and a widow, must live in a safe place.
Furthermore, this place is not a courtyard from their house, it is just two streets away, and it takes about twenty minutes to walk there, which is quite convenient.
Have a place to stay, the next step is to clean up.
Bai Yumei Zhangkou borrowed a car from Comrade Xiao Wang, and wanted to move some things from her home to help with the arrangement.
Comrade Xiao Wang volunteered and stayed behind to help drive errands and move things.
Needless to say, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are also burnt wood, grain in cloth pockets, sorghum rice, yellow rice noodles, cornmeal, piles of sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage and radish sun-dried vegetables... Shipped back and forth a few times.
"Sister, you are going to move the whole family to me."
Bai Yuxue looked at Bai Yumei who was still thinking about adding more things, and said helplessly.
"I'm not afraid that you'll just stay here and it's inconvenient if you're missing something."
Bai Yumei said with a smile: "Okay, let's do this for now. When you think about what you need for daily use, it's the same as going to my place to get it. But one thing, don't be embarrassed to go and get it, and then Spend your own money to buy it outside, what we do at home is to sell groceries, and there is no shortage of these things to live."
After she helped her sister settle down, she set off a fire in the stove in the small courtyard, and very enthusiastically invited Xiao Wang, the clerk, to stay and have a meal together at noon. .
Comrade Xiao Wang waved his hands several times in succession and refused. In the end, he could not resist the enthusiasm of the two sisters, so he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and agreed to stay for dinner.
In the kitchen room.
Bai Yumei was in charge, Bai Yuxue was in charge, and Xiao Wang squatted and started the fire.
Xiao Tiantian moved a small stool and sat at the door of the kitchen, tilting his head and looking in.
