She opened her eyes, turned sideways and said to the little girl opposite: "It is indeed wonderful outside, but only by reading can you go further and see more scenery outside."
Li Lijun said casually, combed her hair for a while, then turned off the light and lay down.
The newly bought chamber pot has already been placed in the room, so Li Manjun no longer has to be called up in the middle of the night to accompany Li Lijun to the toilet.
I woke up naturally after a long sleep, and there was just a little light on the horizon.
After traveling through time for so long, she has gradually become accustomed to a daily routine of going to bed early and getting up early. She goes to bed after nine o'clock at night without computers and mobile phones.
I looked at the alarm clock on the table and saw that it was only six o'clock.
Li Manjun couldn't sleep anymore, so she put on her clothes lightly, took the original cloth bag, and transferred the cash and personal belongings in the bag.
The remaining bankbooks were placed in a locked drawer. After packing these, I went out with a cloth bag and a straw hat.
The breakfast shop was the first to open. Li Manjun ordered a portion of fried dough sticks and soy milk. The crispy fried dough sticks were cut into pieces and soaked in soy milk sprinkled with sugar. After the soy milk was soaked, he blew it to cool down and ate it in one bite. His mouth was filled with splashes of soy milk juice.
Li Manjun loved this way of eating and finished all the fried dough sticks and soy milk in a few minutes.
There are two things to do today, both related to the soy sauce factory.
The first thing is to settle the subsequent bills with the person in charge of the soy sauce factory.
The second thing is to transport those packaging glass bottles from the soy sauce factory.
There are nearly a thousand bottles, and neither Li Manjun's nor Liu Yan's family can accommodate them.
Li Manjun thought of Aunt Wu's vacant canteen, a wooden house built at the back door of the town's middle school.
It used to be the main entrance of the town middle school, but the school entrance at the back was changed to face the street. The original main entrance became the back entrance, and only the garbage trucks went that way.
Liu Yan should borrow a carriage, and Li Manjun is responsible for finding tools, including straw ropes, baskets, and baskets, which are indispensable for transporting glass products.
Li Manjun ran to a village near the town as early as possible and bought two loads of straw from the people there.
This thing was not valuable, but Li Manjun suddenly asked for it, and the other party still charged her two yuan before helping her pick it up at the soy sauce factory.
Luokang's family had a pair, and Liu Yan's family also had a pair, but they were not enough. Li Manjun thought about it, bought two kilograms of bulk biscuits and went straight to Aunt Wu's house.
Aunt Wu was a little surprised when she heard that Li Manjun wanted to borrow her basket and the canteen for use.
"We don't need the baskets, you can just take them. What do you want to borrow from the canteen?" Aunt Wu asked.
Her granddaughter had just woken up and was being held by Aunt Wu on her shoulders. She was rubbing her eyes. When she saw the biscuits brought by Li Manjun, she pointed with her little hand and said in a sweet voice, "Cookies!"
Li Manjun grabbed two biscuits and handed them to her with a smile. The little girl immediately smiled and was very cute.
"My companions and I have found a batch of goods. I would like to borrow them to use as a warehouse for two days. Do you think it is convenient for you? If so, you can calculate the rent for me. It will take a few days."
Li Manjun put the remaining cookies on Aunt Wu's living room table and turned to look at her with a smile.
When Aunt Wu heard this, she glared at her angrily, "When did you become so polite to me? The canteen is not open. You can use it if you want to use it for a few days. We are talking about rent or not. That place is
I can’t rent it out now.”
After saying that, he put his granddaughter down and asked Li Manjun to look after her for a while, then went into the house to find the key to the canteen for her.
Li Manjun said happily: "Aunt Wu, thank you. I will give you the rent later. I can't take advantage of it. I am very grateful that you are willing to lend me the place."
He knelt down and waved to Aunt Wu's granddaughter, because she had just given her biscuits, and the little girl ran towards her with a smile on her face.
He also took two bites of the biscuit that was covered in saliva and handed it to her mouth, "Here, you can eat it."
Li Manjun waved her hand and said she didn't want it, letting her eat it by herself. Then she stuffed it into her little mouth and said happily: "It's delicious!"
Aunt Wu took out the key and handed it to Li Manjun, "Go and do your business. Don't mention the rent. When the weather gets cold, I'll go to your house and give my little girl a hot bath."
"This water heater is really good. Taking a bath in winter is much more convenient." Aunt Wu said with a smile.
Li Manjun smiled gratefully. This was a trivial matter. He thanked Aunt Wu and took the key and two pairs of borrowed baskets to meet Liu Yan and her brother.
As soon as they arrived at the intersection outside the town, they saw Liu Cheng holding a riding crop and pulling the horse, looking cautious and scared.
Liu Yan asked him to hold the horse and tie up the carriage. When she saw Li Manjun coming, she called her to get on the carriage.
Li Manjun threw the basket onto the car and sat on the edge of the car with Liu Yan.
"Liu Cheng, can you do it?" Liu Yan gloated.
Liu Cheng led the horse and patted the horse's butt. The horse snorted in displeasure and frightened him so much that it jumped two meters away.
Li Manjun and Liu Yan were amused, but soon they stopped laughing.
The horse was a bit stubborn. It was fine when Liu Yan took it out, but now it stopped grazing on the roadside and stopped moving.
Liu Cheng and Li Manjun took turns to fight, and after a lot of attempts, they made the horse move forward obediently.
The road was all yellow and muddy, and the walking was swaying. Li Manjun saw this situation and told the other two people: "Be sure to put more straw when packing, otherwise it will be smashed."
The two siblings nodded to express their understanding.
After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at the soy sauce factory.
The person in charge over there has arrived and is discussing with the construction team to start demolishing it from that place.
Liu Yan stepped forward and introduced Li Manjun to him. The person in charge of the soy sauce factory asked: "Have you brought the money?"
Li Manjun nodded, and the two parties went into the warehouse together to count the goods and settle the accounts.
There are a total of 1,258 bottles, all of which are new, but they have been stored for a long time and have dust on them, so they need to be cleaned.
Li Manjun paid 106.40 cents for a bottle, plus 150 cents for picking up steel bars tomorrow, for a total of 250.64 yuan.
After calculating this number, the person in charge and Li Manjun were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.
"Okay, then hurry up and move it. It will be pushed out tomorrow morning." The person in charge of the soy sauce factory waved to the three of them and went to do other things.
Li Manjun and the other two started packing. The straw had already been put in place in advance. They first laid a layer of straw on the bottom of the basket, and then placed the bottles. After placing one layer, they filled the gaps with straw. One basket can hold three layers, a total of seventy bottles.
Only.
Liu Cheng drove the carriage three times and finished it by noon.
The person in charge of the soy sauce factory finally asked them to take away all the waste paper in the factory without charging any money.
Li Manjun asked Liu Cheng to give away two cigarettes, and the cooperation was very pleasant.
I also found out that the soy sauce factory was originally owned by the town government. Now the town government wants to take it back and build a house. It plans to build a big house with a bathroom.
It seems that what Li Dawei said is accurate. The town government is indeed going to build a house here and provide welfare housing.
In the afternoon, Li Manjun and the three of them were washing bottles. The washed bottles looked brand new and were spread all over the floor.
