Fang Nuo followed him out of the house, looked at the furniture in the yard, and told him first what was moved to that house and then to the kitchen.
Shen Gongqi first moved the small items into the room to the location mentioned by Fang Nuo. For the large items, he took the heavier end and Fang Nuo took the lighter end. The two of them rested and moved into the house.
After all the furniture was moved into the house, Fang Nuo looked around the house and moved the furniture. After a while, it became more pleasing to the eye.
The large pieces of furniture were put into the back room and placed in a row against the wall.
First, a low cabinet a little higher than the kang was placed next to the kang so that some things could be placed on it.
Then there is the big wardrobe, which is placed at the corner of the wall. Turn around here and put her dressing table. The window of the room next to it is not easy to block, so a desk is placed on it, where you can put some things you usually read. If you have a book or something to write, it would be better to sit here during the daytime.
The desk is closer to the door, and Fang Nuo placed a clothes rack to hang the coats they took off every day.
In the outer room, there is a table first in front of the window, and then a basin rack. The basins and towels they use for washing are placed on it. A thermos bottle can be placed below. The toiletries are placed on the table next to them for easy access.
Seeing that there was still a kang table missing on the kang, Fang Nuo looked at the sky outside. It was still early before dark, so he said to Shen Gongqi: "Brother Qi, we both forgot that there is a kang table at home. It's not as cold as this." It was not convenient to eat, and there was a guest at home, so there was no place to put a tea bowl.
I think it’s still early, why don’t you go out and make another trip to see if you can buy something suitable?”
"Okay, then I'll go out and take a look first," Shen Gongqi said.
While Shen Gongqi was out, Fang Nuo organized and put away all the things he brought back from the supply and marketing cooperative.
She also replaced the tooth powder and shampoo she bought with the ones she prepared in the space.
The box was still packed in a box from the supply and marketing cooperative. This was the box she had used up earlier, so she cleaned it and put it away. Then she put it in a space when no one was around before going in. She poured it into it and packed it. She will take it home now. Come out and change.
She also took out a few towels, two for family members to wash their faces, and separate ones for children and adults.
The person who wiped feet, hands, and hair also had one. For the person who wiped tables, she didn't get a new one, so she just thought of changing a few pieces from clothes that no one in the family wore.
Otherwise, using a new towel to wipe the table will give others the impression that it is too wasteful.
After packing up everything, Shen Gongqi came back soon carrying a kang table and several beautiful small boxes in his hands.
"Daughter-in-law, the uncle from the recycling station just collected these. I thought you liked these small boxes this morning, so you gave them to me cheaply." Shen Gongqi handed the small box in his hand to Fang Nuo and said.
"Oh? How much did you spend?" Fang Nuo asked after taking the box.
Holding the box in her hand, Fang Nuo felt that the entire weight was not quite right. She opened the box and looked at it. The space inside was not very large. The person who made the box had made the bottom too thick.
Fang Nuolian thought about the furniture made by many families in this era. Some of the furniture made by wealthy families had hidden compartments, most of which were used to store more valuable things.
Wanting to get this, she started groping on the box.
Shen Gongqi watched his wife's movements and was a little confused, but he didn't ask. Instead, he answered the question she just asked: "The uncle charged me three yuan for two boxes. This box is very heavy to carry. I think the wood used must be good.”
"It's really good. Put the table on your back quickly, and then go and close the courtyard door." Fang Nuo had already found the hidden compartment of the box. He didn't rush to open it, but called Shen Gongqi to go first. Close the courtyard door, just in case someone comes to the house unexpectedly.
"What's wrong?" Shen Gongqi also reacted and asked.
"This box has a hidden compartment. I don't know what it is. You go and close the door first, and we can take a look together," Fang Nuo urged.
Upon hearing this, Shen Gongqi obediently went out and closed the courtyard door. When he entered the house, he also closed the door before walking to the kang.
When Fang Nuo saw him coming back, he
I opened the secret compartment I just found and found two small yellow croakers and several jade pendants inside. There was also a small velvet bag on the side. When I opened it, there were some small accessories, including jade, diamonds, pearls, and gold.
"Daughter-in-law, look at the other one. The two weights I just carried are about the same," Shen Gongqi said.
Fang Nuo picked up the other one and found the secret compartment using the method he had just used to open the secret compartment. When he opened it, he found the small yellow croaker of Siegen and several bracelets.
"Are we taking advantage of this?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Since this thing is in our hands, it means it is destined to us. You should put it away first and remember to hide it. Now these things cannot be taken out openly." Shen Gongqi thought for a while before saying this .
"Okay, I understand, don't worry," Fang Nuo nodded and replied.
"Check the other furniture when you have time at home. These things are too dangerous. If there are any, take them all out, dig a place in the yard and bury them, and then take them out when they can be used," Shen Gongqi said.
"Hmm, I'll take a look when I have time." Fang Nuo also thought it was time to check, because he was afraid that if someone stared at these furniture and found out that they had something in their hands, something might come to their door.
If they are charged with concealment, they will not die innocently.
Shen Gongqi rested for a while, and Fang Nuo put away the things he found.
The two of them fetched water and cleaned the kang table and two boxes that Shen Gongqi brought back from behind, and put them in the yard to dry in the sun.
Fang Nuo went to the kitchen to start preparing dinner, and Shen Gongqi got Yaya dressed and tidied up.
After having dinner in the evening, they sat for a while and waited for the food to digest before they washed up and took an early rest.
Early the next morning, Shen Gongqi got up and prepared to go to work.
Fang Nuo heard him getting up, and she got up too. She prepared breakfast for him, baked a few pancakes, and a stewed sauerkraut. In a cloth bag, he took it with him for lunch.
They usually run on the road at noon, so there are few opportunities to go home for lunch.
Fang Nuo thought that when the weather was not too hot, he would bring him some food to eat on the road.
If the weather is too hot and you can’t hold the food, bring him some fruit. Lunch is on the way. If you encounter a state-owned restaurant, buy some for him.
After packing everything, Shen Gongqi's breakfast was also ready.
Fang Nuo walked him to the door with a small cloth bag: "It's your first day at work, so be careful."
"Okay, wife, I'm going to work. You're at home with your child. If there's anything you can't do, just keep it and wait for me to come back." Shen Gongqi took the small cloth bag in her hand and said
"I know, go to work quickly, otherwise it will be late," Fang Nuo said
