36. It is not easy to live in the city

The two bedrooms next to each other against the west wall, and the two brothers happened to be one room for each one.

The eldest sister shouted, "Clean up your own house by yourself, don't expect me to do it for you, don't sleep if you don't clean it up."

"I'll do it myself!" The fourth brother turned on the tap water faucet, and before he could get water in the basin, he was locked up by his elder sister.

"Use well water." I heard that the tap water was to be paid, but my elder sister refused to waste it anyway. "Don't waste it just because you don't want you to pay."

Ling Er picked up the bucket, poured it into Lao Si's basin, and smiled and said, "Let's find a piece of rag to wipe it off."

Then he went into the kitchen and found a large bucket of water, replaced the small bucket of water, and approached the riverside. The well water was not deep, so it was not difficult to lift it.

Because there was no furniture inside and outside the house, he carried the bucket and rushed directly to the concrete floor inside the house. The third brother hurriedly took the broom to clean it, and the dust and miscellaneous things on the ground suddenly came out.

In front and back, he repeatedly lifted about twenty buckets of water. After rinsing it, the temperature was high. When the sun steamed, the water stains disappeared, and inside and out, it looked completely refreshed.

In the last bucket of water, he didn't take off his big shorts and dripped them straight from head to toe.

"You bear thing, the water in the well is not cold." The eldest sister shouted immediately.

"What you said, why should I rush toward me if I don't cold?" He knew that the eldest sister was not saying this, but he couldn't help but say the opposite.

The eldest sister gave him a blank look and asked, "Ask you, where is there a bed, otherwise you won't have enough sleep."

The new house has only one bed, and in the countryside, it can actually be done, but now each person has one bed.

She went out for the first time and looked at the surroundings with her eyes darkened, so she naturally asked her younger brother.

Ling Er said, "Don't worry about this, I'll buy it tomorrow."

"Don't have a carpenter?" she asked.

Ling Er said, "We have to have wood when we get a bed. There is nothing. What to do. It’s convenient to buy it directly. Don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility."

When he went out to buy things in the morning, he had already found out where to sell furniture.

The eldest sister said to the fourth child, "You sleep with me at night."

As for the two brothers, they must have slept on the floor.

The fourth brother said, "I'll sleep on the mat, too."

She had her own little nest, so she naturally didn't want to make do with her elder sister anymore.

Even if there is no bed, I will be happy to sleep on the ground.

"Don't get cold." The eldest sister's opinion was unquestionable. The little girl was so delicate that she didn't look like two brothers with thick skin.

The fourth brother pouted and fell in love with the vermilion dressing table in his second brother's house, which had a very beautiful mirror on it. She chose the house on the west wall early in the morning because of this dressing table.

Her house is empty and has nothing, and she always has one or two decent furniture.

She touched her and moved her to her house, after all, her second brother couldn't use a boy.

She tugged her hands open, gritted her teeth, and only made the table's right foot slightly off the ground.

She looked at her eldest brother and second brother with a gaze.

"I won't buy this for you, I won't buy a bicycle for you." The third brother was so worried about this incident that he didn't mention the conditions at this moment, and he wouldn't have such a good opportunity in the future.

"Okay." The fourth brother agreed simply.

Ling Er said to Lao Si, "Neither of you suffers a loss."

In the past, the dressing table was one of the thirty-six legs that were necessary for marriage. Now it seems that although it is a bit outdated, it uses absolutely enough materials and has very sophisticated workmanship.

What's more, it's still an old elm. If it's stored for another ten or eight years, you can sell the old materials for 3500 yuan.

"Then you can move it for you." The fourth brother looked at Ling Er.

Ling Er pointed to the shoes at the door and said, "You can consider brushing your shoes for me."

"Okay." The fourth brother decided to give in.

After the elder and second brother moved the dressing table into her room, she brought another basin of water, used old clothes as rags, and carefully wiped the corners of the cabinet.

After having a meal, Ling Er spread the mat directly into the yard. The fourth brother also ran over and squeezed between the two brothers.

She finally realized a benefit in the city, with fewer mosquitoes than in the countryside.

In my hometown, mosquitoes must be buzzing in my ears at this time.

She shared her thoughts with her second brother who has a common language.

Ling San nodded in agreement.

I finally didn’t need to light mosquito coils when I went to the toilet, and kept waving my hands to slap my butts. Every time I came out of the dry toilet, my butts were all red.

Including the big yellow dog at home, it was also extremely casual. In the past, it had no status in the village. It could pinch it as long as it had four legs, cows, sheep, horses, pigs, mules, and donkeys. However, after moving to a new home, it took only one day to go from being cautious to being arrogant and arrogant, and it seemed that it was already the boss of this area.

The dog in the city is too cowardly and never encountered a person that is more than its shoulder height.

The only person who realized what it is to live in a city is the eldest sister. After two days, she spent money like water, and spent about 500 yuan on three beds alone.

Of course, these are just one-time expenses after all. After today, you may forget them tomorrow, and you won’t be sad for long.

The key is that vegetables cost money. In the past, I used to pick up food at home, and even drink tap water cost money.

Moreover, she also heard from her second brother that in the future, the third brother and fourth brother would take the bus to school every day, and they would also have to pay for buses, as well as lunch fees at school. The urban schools are different from those in rural areas, with many extracurricular activities and many charges.

In short, it costs a lot in the city, and I can't save these expenses every month.

If you can't save money, you can only make money. She originally planned to find a job after coming, but now she looks like a flies and has no direction.

This place is different from the village, the environment is not familiar with, and people do not know each other.

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Ling Er comforted her, "I can't make money, it's like losing my soul every day."

The eldest sister said, "If I lose my soul, I will not think about throwing money every day."

"It's a bit promising," Ling Er said with a smile, "Don't let me look down on you. You're like you, so don't live in the city."

"How can we compare with others?" the eldest sister asked.

Ling Er said, "One nose, two eyes, two hands, my hands are not lazy than others, and my brain is not stupider than others. Why can't I compete with others? Remember, maybe I will be the rich sister in the future. I have a little outlook, don't play every day."

"You can brag about it." The eldest sister laughed, "You have become a rich man, and I dare not let others know that I am your sister. Then I will be embarrassed to let you lose your eyes or lose your people."

"Boss, I admire you a little bit, you are self-aware." Ling Er gave her a thumbs up.

"I'm looking for death, I really dislike me." Ling Yi rolled up the towel in his hand and smashed it over, chasing Ling Er to fight. He suddenly realized that it was raining and started to collect his clothes again.

The rain outside was crackling and thunder roaring. The fourth brother sat in the middle of the house, holding his head with both hands, looking at the roof without blinking. Finally, he confirmed that the new house would not leak.
