SIAS Chapter 18.2

She just wanted to put a cushion on her belly, scrub her hands quickly, and lie down in bed to take a nap.

The newly built stove was not dry yet, so she couldn’t boil water. After she brought the wooden basin back, she put water in it and put it outside to dry.

Today’s sun was much stronger than yesterday’s, and the basin of water was barely warmed up. Now it was just right to bring it in for use.

When she went out, she saw Qian Lailai coming back with a basket full of things. The old carpenter was also following her. It seemed that the search for Aunt Guihua went smoothly.

Qian Lailai passed by her door and asked her if she had fixed up the tiles.

Yi Qingqing nodded, “Uncle Yougen fixed them up quickly and well, and the stove was built solidly!”

“I also asked him. I felt relieved when you said that. He will have time to help me after work in the afternoon. Fortunately, I asked you first, otherwise, this matter may have to wait for a while. Li Mengxue and the others also asked him, but they have to queue up, so they may not be able to finish it today.” Qian Lailai was very grateful.

After hearing this, Yi Qingqing could only wish the heroine and the others good luck tonight.

“By the way, when I came back, I saw that the two people over there also followed Li Mengxue and the others to Aunt Guihua’s house, but they didn’t take anything in their hands. I wonder if they are stupid?” Qian Lailai gossiped in a low voice.

“It’s really stupid. There’s no benefit. Who dares to help them with this risky thing?” Yi Qingqing also said.

Although the villagers of Xiangshui Village she met so far were quite simple and honest, every household was in trouble now. No one had a reason to help others for no reason.

When asking for help, you still have to be sincere.

“Eh? Have you tidied up your house?” Qian Lailai saw the cellophane she had used to paste the windows.

Yi Qingqing nodded, “I’ve cleaned it up. It’s finally a bit better. It’s still so sloppy now. I dried it in the sun. I was just about to take a shower and go to sleep!”

Qian Lailai touched her hair, which was all tangled up, and said, “You reminded me that I have to dry it in the sun too. I haven’t washed it in a few days. I feel like I’m going to get stinky. By the way, I’m going to the county town tomorrow. I’m still short of a lot of things. Are you going?”

Yi Qingqing thought for a while and nodded, “I want to buy a bicycle and a kitchen knife. I don’t have oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. We are going to start work the day after tomorrow, so I have to prepare everything.”

Anyway, she had planned to get the bicycle as soon as possible, so it didn’t matter if she told others about it now.

“Bicycle?” Qian Lailai looked her up and down.

“I thought that Zheng Xiaolong and Chen Zhihe were rich and powerful, but I didn’t expect you to be so awesome that you could get a bicycle so quickly. The favored ones are really different! I will treat you to a good meal at the state-owned restaurant tomorrow. Can you help me bring my things back? If you have a bicycle, I can buy more at a time.”

“Okay, then I won’t be polite tomorrow.” Yi Qingqing agreed.

What she wanted to buy were small items such as soap and toothpaste, which would not take up much space. She could get a free meal, which was not a loss.

“Then, it’s settled. I’m going to clean up the house!” After Qian Lailai said this, she quickly went back to work.

People who had bicycles were working so hard, so Qian Lailai must also work harder to live a good life!

Yi Qingqing saw that she suddenly left full of energy. She shook her head, brought water into the house, and locked the door.

She pulled the curtain, washed herself thoroughly, put on clean clothes, dried her hair, and went out to get some water.
