Chapter 25 Furniture

"Then what?"

The third uncle spread out his hands and said, "What's going on? As soon as the girl heard Zhuzi talking like this, she immediately said she would not marry, and her parents also said they would not marry their daughter to him."

"Then you definitely can't marry. Is it okay to marry such a person?"

"That's right, it turned out that the pillars were not dry yet, and they were scolded and kicked away. Even the old lady couldn't stop them!"

"He said something wrong himself, why are you scolding others?" He Yuzhu did not follow the routine, and Li Chuzhen was stunned for a moment.

The third uncle said: "Zhuzhu called the whole family a liar. Why did you ask us to come here if you didn't marry the girl? Your family just wanted to deceive me. He said that he wanted to beat the girl, but the father and son of the girl's family picked him up and threw him out.

, he also threw out the gifts he brought there, and even drove the old lady out."

"Is the old lady in the backyard okay?"

"The old lady is just angry and her chest hurts, but it's nothing."

"The matchmaker, Aunt Wang, was also complained by the bride's family. Aunt Wang was so angry that she ran to the door of Zhuzhu's house, jumping on her feet and scolding her."

"The first uncle was so angry that he went to Zhuzi's house to scold him. Later, Zhuzi probably realized that he said the wrong thing." The third uncle pointed in the direction of the middle courtyard with his chin: "No, he is still sulking at home."

After hearing this, Li Chu said that this melon was a bit full. Who is this person? His father was really right when he called him Silly Zhu!

Li Chu sighed: "Oh, who will dare to introduce a partner to He Yuzhu from now on!" Suddenly he thought: Silly Zhu has never been able to find a partner in this TV series. It must be for this reason. Who would dare to marry his daughter to him?

.

At this time, the first uncle also came out of the central courtyard. When he saw Li Chu, he came over: "Xiao Chu, has your house been tidied up?"

"Okay, sir, are you going for a walk after dinner?"

The three of them chatted here and brought up the matter of He Yuzhu. The first man also felt a headache and said: "Oh, this kid Zhuzhu is really a headache. The old lady was so angry that she didn't want to deal with him these days.

"

Li Chu smiled and changed the topic. He had finished eating the melon, and he didn't want to mention He Yuzhu anymore.

After chatting for a while, Li Chu went back to the dormitory.

When it was time to rest on the weekend, Li Chu got up early in the morning. He was going to the trust store today to see if there was any furniture he liked. It was time to move back. Living in the same dormitory was not a problem.

I strolled out and ate a bowl of braised pork before wandering to the door of the trust store.

This trust store is similar to a pawn shop in the past. It collects, sells or consigns some valuable second-hand items. The only difference from a pawn shop is that this one is state-owned.

Everything is sold there, including furniture, bicycles, watches, cameras, gramophones, and even clothes, bedding, etc., all of which are old items.

The next ten or twenty years will be the golden age of trust stores. People's wages are low these days. The most important thing is that you need tickets to buy things in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives. Sometimes you can't buy things even if you have money but no tickets.

The items in the trust store are old, cheap and free of charge, so they are loved by many people and the business is very prosperous.

Walking into the trust store, there was a lot of space inside and many counters. They sold everything, and he even saw some selling pots and pans.

Li Chu went directly to the place where furniture was sold at the end. When he walked up to it, he was immediately dazzled by him because he had learned how to identify antiques from his master and he also knew wood.

The furniture here is made of red sandalwood, rosewood, and red rosewood.

I stopped in front of a well-preserved Eight Immortals table with legs spread out. It was made of red sandalwood. I squatted down and took a look. There were cloud patterns carved around the table. There were also five bats carved on the cloud pattern. The carving was good. What a good thing.

, and looked next to the table. Unfortunately, the matching armchairs were no longer available. But it would be nice to buy the table back and use it as a dining table.

It took a long time to select and match four official hat chairs. These four chairs are a set and are also made of red sandalwood. They look good when placed together with the table.

I turned around and asked the salesperson behind the counter how much it cost. The salesperson stretched his neck and looked at it and said, "The table is 8 yuan, and the chairs are 2 yuan each."

Oops, it’s not cheap. Make a note of it and buy it together later.

I picked and picked up and bought almost all the furniture I needed, all of which were made of red sandalwood.

I bought a desk for 5 yuan, a bookshelf for 3 yuan, a wardrobe for 10 yuan, a chest of drawers for 8 yuan, and I also bought a dressing table for my future wife, also made of rosewood, for 5 yuan. Finally, I bought two more

A red sandalwood box can hold bedding in the summer, priced at 2 yuan each.

There was no suitable sofa, so I asked the salesperson, who told him that there should be one in the trust store over at Xizhimen.

The final calculation cost a total of 51 yuan, invoicing, and payment. It's not cheap.

There was too much furniture, so I asked three shopkeepers at the door to help bring it back, and they even moved and pulled the goods back for 2 cents each.

Looking at the pile of red sandalwood furniture on the cart, Li Chu thought, "How much will this thing be worth in a few decades?"

After I got back, I was busy with work again, and the house was finally no longer empty. Looking at the neatly arranged furniture in the living room, study room, and upstairs bedroom, I felt a bit like a landlord in the past.

Without further delay, I got up and went out again, got on the bus and went straight to Xizhimen. I only had one day to rest, so I had to hurry up!

It was not in vain. I bought both a sofa and a coffee table. The sofa is a set, one for three people and two for one person. I will also make a cushion for the sofa when I go back. I don’t know if I can get a sponge now.

I called two shopkeepers, but this time it was more expensive. Each of them paid 60 cents before they were willing to give it away.

After returning home and putting them in place, wipe all the furniture you bought clean with a rag, then go to the kitchen, take out all the pots, pans, and cabinets that were put into the space during the move, and arrange them in order.

Later, I need to equip the stove with a big pot.

Look again now, it finally looks like home.

Look at the watch, it's already past four in the afternoon, no wonder I'm so hungry.

Go out, eat out, and then go back to the dormitory to pack up and move back in.
