SIAS Chapter 15.2

[Sign in at the old carpenter’s house in Xiangshui Village and obtain Woodcraft skills.]

Was it actually another skill? And it only needed one sign-in point. According to the previous rules, this old carpenter’s craftsmanship was probably average.

“Little educated youth?” Lin Guihua saw her standing motionless at the door and called her.

“Hey, here I come!” Yi Qingqing put the matter aside first and followed Lin Guihua in.

With Lin Guihua as a guarantee, the old carpenter naturally agreed to the transaction.

He led the two of them into the side room, where many finished products were placed.

They were all commonly used with ordinary styles. They could only be said to be neat and practical, not good-looking. Moreover, they were only polished and not painted, so the durability was probably a bit poor.

As expected, the old carpenter’s skills were only average.

However, Yi Qingqing had everything she wanted, and the price was exactly as Lin Guihua said, so it was considered very cheap.

The college entrance examination will be resumed in three years. She would only stay in this educated youth point for more than three years or less than four years at most. There was no problem using these things for a few years.

As for repairing doors and windows, the old carpenter could go to the educated youth point with Yi Qingqing to do it right now.

There was a lot of stuff to be brought by both one young and one old, so Lin Guihua also helped them get some and went with them to the educated youth point first.

The time was just right. The villagers had all gone to work, so they didn’t meet anyone along the way.

Back at the educated youth point, none of the old educated youths were there. Only the newly educated youths who had taken two days off were coming in and out to clean up their house.

Qian Lailai was fetching water outside. She got up very early today, borrowed a bucket from an old educated youth, and scrubbed the house.

Seeing Yi Qingqing leading the two people back carrying a lot of things, she quickly asked her, “I said, why no one answered the door when I knocked on your door this morning, what are you doing?”

“This is Aunt Guihua, from Uncle Youtian’s house. I lack a lot of things in the house, so I had to exchange some with her help.” Yi Qingqing didn’t say it too clearly.

Nowadays, private sales couldn’t be explicitly prohibited, so Yi Qingqing had never asked for money and had always used things in exchange.

Even if you wanted to change, you couldn’t just come to the door and get it done. Especially for the newly arrived educated youths, they had to rely on others to do it.

There must be a lot of people doing this. This was also a source of profit for the villagers.

She only said that it was Aunt Guihua who helped, but she also didn’t want people to bypass the middleman and cut off other people’s financial opportunities.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Qian Lailai set her sights on Aunt Guihua, but she was also smart. She didn’t have anything in her hands and couldn’t speak easily. She just called someone first and talked about the rest later.

After entering the back alley and helping Yi Qingqing put things at the door of her house, Aunt Guihua left. She had to go back and find a way to deliver the water tank and iron pot.

Yi Qingqing also didn’t keep any guests.

Qian Lailai went back to her house early, took something, and hid it in her arms. Then, she cleverly chased Aunt Guihua out.

The old carpenter here checked the doors and windows and said, “Most of the wood is still good. If it’s bad, I’ll replace it for you. It won’t take any trouble.”

“Okay, just go ahead and do it.” Yi Qingqing said, without any intention of watching him work, and went in to organize things.

The empty room with only a kang bed, with the addition of tables and chairs, instantly gave it a sense of life.

She put everything in the package into the box, took out the cloth coupon for Aunt Guihua, and hid it on her body. Then, she took out three small bags of pastries and finally hung the lock on the box.

She put the bedding on the table, put the pastries there, covered it tightly with a straw mat, and put the straw felt on top to keep out the dust.

Yi Qingqing spoke to the old carpenter and went outside to fetch water.
