Chapter 94 Buying Furniture

"Great, let's go."

Wang Jianwu put down the pen in his hand, stretched and said excitedly.

The things in the store are fancy and dazzling, which are very attractive to children like Wang Jiannan and Wang Jianwu.

"Let's go, Nan Nan, remember to fill the kettle with hot water, or you'll be thirsty outside this afternoon."

Wang Jianye ordered.

Wang Jiannan had already made preparations, "Look, brother, I have already filled it."

She picked up the army green kettle on the table and shook it in front of Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye nodded: "Okay, let's go and buy everything early so we can come back early."

Wang Jianye suddenly remembered: "Brother, did you get your salary this morning?"

"Yes, it is seventy-three dollars and fifty cents in total."

"Ah? So much money?"

Wang Jiannan said in surprise.

Wang Jianwu was also very surprised: "Brother, they gave so much money, will there be so much more in the future?"

Wang Jianye nodded: "It will be about the same amount every month from now on."

"Brother, this is great."

"That's right. Firecrackers cost ten for one cent. How many firecrackers can you buy with this much money?"

"..."

He became restless when he saw Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwu and others.

Wang Jianye smiled and said, "I worked before, but because I was an apprentice, my salary was very low. Our family basically relied on the little money our mother earned to live. But now... my salary has increased several times, even higher than our mother's salary. I can help share some of the pressure on our mother's shoulders, and our family's life will get better and better."

Wang Jiannan and others nodded happily.

Life at home is getting better and better.

……

Wang Jianye brought his second sister Wang Jiannan, second brother Wang Jianwen, and third brother Wang Jianwu to the furniture store outside.

I bought a wooden bed, two chairs, three stools, a washstand, a cupboard, and a coat box.

It cost him more than sixty yuan to buy these things.

In an instant, more than half of his salary that morning was gone.

But Wang Jianye doesn't feel sorry for it, as these are necessities in his life.

And he will receive a salary of more than 70 yuan next month.

After buying these things, the shop assistant asked someone to use a flatbed tricycle to help Wang Jianye deliver the goods to the Qianmen courtyard.

"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

Wang Jianye gave him the cigarette, and the two of them stood at the door and rested for a while while smoking together.

"Young man, are you going to live here?"

"Yes, this is the house my company found for me. It's more convenient to live here and go to work."

Wang Jianye said as he blew out a smoke ring.

The man smoked a cigarette and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, was this house found for you by your unit? What unit?"

"Do you know Fengze Garden? I'm a chef there. Because of my good cooking skills, they found a house for me."

Wang Jianye explained.

The man was very envious.

The two chatted for a while, and then together they delivered the furniture in the car to Wang Jianye's house.

Wang Jiannan, Wang Jianwen, Wang Jianwu and others also came to help.

When the neighbors saw Wang Jianye delivering furniture into the house, they all came out to watch.

Some aunties even came over to help.

Wang Jianye said thank you, then moved all the furniture in the car into his room and arranged them neatly.

Zheng Hao had someone clean the house, so Wang Jianye could just put the furniture in without having to clean up again.

After finishing the work, Wang Jianye clapped his hands, and together with Wang Jiannan and the other two, turned on the faucet in the yard to wash.

"king……"

"Auntie, my name is Wang Jianye." Seeing that the other party couldn't remember her name, Wang Jianye reminded her.

"Oh, by the way, Wang Jianye, are all these furnitures you bought new?"

"Yes, Auntie."

"How much will that cost?"

"..."

Several gossipy middle-aged women came over and asked Wang Jianye curiously.

Wang Jianye also patiently repeated it.

……

Afterwards, before it got dark, Wang Jianye took Wang Jiannan and the other two to buy a stove, a chimney, a double-handled pot, a shovel, a spoon, a kitchen knife, chopsticks, bowls and dishes, seasonings and other things.

In total, he spent more than 30 yuan, of which the stove was the biggest expense, costing him more than 20 yuan.

When I returned to the Qianmen courtyard with these things, it was already dark.

Wang Jianye went into the house and put everything away.

Wang Jiannan and the other two had been running with Wang Jianye for the entire afternoon and were almost exhausted.

Wang Jianwu even lay directly on the hard flat bed which was bare on top of it, shouting that he was so tired and had no strength left.

Seeing this, Wang Jianye smiled and said, "Thank you three for your hard work this afternoon. Let's go buy some more vegetables. I'll cook some delicious dishes for you as a reward."

"Great."

Wang Jianwu struggled to get up from the bed. He had just said that he had no strength left, but now when he heard that he was going to make something delicious, he immediately regained his strength.

Wang Jiannan and Wang Jianwen were also happy: "Brother, what delicious food are you going to make?"

"I'm not sure either. Let's go to the market first."

After Wang Jianye finished speaking, he urged the three of them out of the Qianmen courtyard and came to the market.

After buying chicken, fish, meat, eggs and various vegetables, Wang Jianye and the three of them returned to the courtyard in Nanluoguxiang with a full load.

Wang Jianye was pushing a bicycle, with the things he bought placed on the handlebars and the back seat.

For other things that could not be put down, the brothers Wang Jianwen and Wang Jianwu held them in their hands.

After entering the gate of the courtyard.

The amount of things they were carrying in their hands and hanging in their car immediately attracted the attention of many neighbors.

Yan Fugui, Aunt Chen, Aunt Zhao and others who lived in the front yard saw this and asked curiously, "Wang Jianye, what day is today? Why are you buying so many things?"

"It's my first time getting a permanent job and getting paid, so of course I have to buy something to celebrate."

Wang Jianye said as a matter of course.

Under the envious gazes of everyone, he walked into the yard with his younger brother and sister.

Yan Fugui was thinking in the front yard, "How much salary did Wang Jianye have to pay to buy so many things?"

"The salary must be quite high, at least fifty or sixty."

"Buying all that stuff doesn't make for a good life."

"..."

Yan Fugui, Yang Ruihua, Aunt Chen and others, although they made all kinds of speculations, they were very envious in their hearts.

Who doesn’t want to eat so many delicious foods, but there is no money?

……

"Mom, we are back."

Wang Jiannan ran back to his home in the backyard with empty hands.

Zhang Lan is cooking at this moment.

Seeing Wang Jiannan coming back, he asked curiously, "Where have you been?"

"I went shopping with my brother. We bought a bed, a cabinet, dishes, etc. We bought everything this time. My brother spent a lot of money."

Wang Jiannan opened the door a little wider to make it easier for Wang Jianye and the other three to come in from behind.

"how much did you spend?"

Zhang Lan asked curiously.

Wang Jiannan thought for a moment and said, "We spent 61 yuan on furniture, 32 yuan on pots and pans, and we also bought a lot of vegetables and meat, which cost us more than 10 yuan."
