Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Grandpa Jiang thought he could drink to his heart's content today, but he didn't expect Song Youlin to pour him a glass.

"Tsk, kid, pour another cup for grandpa. You finished such a small cup in one gulp. Give me some more."

It's so rare to have such a delicious dish to go with wine, how can I just have one glass?

Song Youlin shook his head firmly, "No, one cup per person."

"Then my cup just now was not full, you have to fill it for me."

"No, I don't."

For a sip of wine, Grandpa Jiang argued with Song Youlin for a while, but Song Youlin refused to budge. Song Youlin even brought up his own sister.

"Then Grandpa Jiang, go find my sister. If she agrees for you to continue drinking, I'll pour it for you."

"..."

Grandpa Jiang was instantly speechless.

Why bother talking to that girl? She can eat him when she gets angry. You can't make her angry.

Reluctantly, he put down the wine glass in his hand, muttering unhappily, "If you don't want to drink, then don't drink. I don't need that much wine. I'll drink as much as I want after you leave."

Grandpa Jiang's voice was not loud, so no one could hear clearly what he said, but they could guess a little bit.

"Uncle Meng, my sister asked you to keep this wine."

"Okay, I'll put it away in a moment."

Grandpa Jiang: "..."

Okay, let Meng Chen keep this bottle of wine. I guess he can drink it until August 15th.

This time, Grandpa Jiang was completely relieved and didn't even look at the other people's wine glasses.

After completing the task, Song Youlin planned to go back. Before leaving, Song Youlin took the books out of the basket.

"Grandpa Sun, I've put the books here for you. My sister and I bought them from the purchasing station. If you have any questions, just deal with them directly. Don't worry about it."

In order to prevent any accidents, Song Youlin had to remind him again.

Grandpa Sun nodded and said that he knew the seriousness of the matter, and reminded the two of them to be careful on their way back.

The next day, Song Youlin told the others about setting some traps outside the yard.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. I think what Youlin said makes sense. We can always be on guard if we have something."

He Feiyang was also a little scared. He didn't even know that Liu Zhang came to visit them during the New Year holidays. If he found out that he had gone to the mountain, then the consequences... he really didn't dare to think about it.

"I have nothing to do these days. I will go find Jiang Jingcheng in a while. He should know a lot. If nothing works, we can go up the mountain to discuss it with Uncle Meng."

They were all action-oriented people, so they simply discussed a plan and went out.

On the way, Jiang Jingcheng also listened to Song Youlin's ideas, but there was not much that could be done now, and it was not realistic to dig a trap under the courtyard wall.

Not to mention that the soil is frozen hard in winter and cannot be dug at all. Even if you can dig, you cannot dig under the courtyard wall. After a long time or if it rains heavily, the courtyard wall will collapse.

At present, we can only put something at the bottom of the wall in the yard, and then raise the wall in spring or put more broken glass, iron sheets and other things.

Song Shuangshuang curled her lips and muttered, "What a trouble."

"These psychopaths should get offline as soon as possible. We have to be on guard against them all day long."

"Shuangshuang, what did you say?" Several people only heard Song Shuangshuang mumbling, but did not hear clearly what she said.

"Ah, I said those guys are really troublesome, they are like sick people."

Song Shuangshuang really hoped that her crow's mouth would work at this moment.

……

The next day, Song Youlin used the excuse that he and Jiang Jingcheng were going to the scrap collection station to look for mousetraps and had to go into the city, but in fact he was going to discuss the house repair with Jiang Jingcheng.

Song Shuangshuang was unhappy that Song Youlin kept her at home and wanted to go with him.

"We'll be back soon. You just stay at home. If you have nothing else to do, go to Aunt Chang's house with Tan Anjing to chat. I guess by then I'll be back and you'll still be reluctant to leave."

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

"Am I that gossipy? And taking An Jing with me? Forget it. If I take An Jing with me, He Feiyang will eat me."

As she spoke, Song Shuangshuang looked Song Youlin and Jiang Jingcheng up and down.

No, these two must be hiding something from her, otherwise why didn't they bring He Feiyang with them and just go out by themselves? Her brother used to say something to Jiang Jingcheng whenever he saw him.

However, she still did not get involved in the little secrets between men.

"Forget it. I'll just stay home and figure out what to cook for the next two days. You two should leave quickly. If you don't make it back in time, just eat at the state-owned restaurant."

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, just go inside."

The two of them went straight to the dilapidated house that Song Youlin mentioned.

Song Youlin looked at the dilapidated yard and felt that it was similar to the house they rented before it was renovated. Even if it was renovated, it would be a big project. And why did he feel that it was even more dilapidated than when he came a few days ago, with fewer bricks.

"How about it, do you think it can be fixed?"

Jiang Jingcheng asked back, "What do you think?"

"I think you can do it!" Song Youlin raised his hand and patted Jiang Jingcheng's shoulder. He looked like he trusted her and asked her not to let him down.

Jiang Jingcheng has never felt so helpless.

"This house will have to be repaired by the end of April at the earliest. It's too cold to start work. Let's think of other ways."

He wanted to help fix it quickly, but it was simply not realistic.

Song Youlin let out a long sigh. Yes, the same result would happen even if he went to find Brother Hai.

Repairing the house had to be put on hold, and the two of them rode their bikes to the scrap collection station. Since they came here to find things to make traps, they naturally couldn't go back so soon.

While rummaging through things, Song Youlin was still thinking about delivering the goods to Brother Hai.

The house in the city cannot be repaired in a short time, so they can only use the place outside the city. But it is a bit troublesome to clean it every time they deliver the goods. He doesn't mind it, but his sister may not agree.

It seems I have to discuss this matter with her when I get back.

In the evening, Song Youlin talked about this matter with Song Shuangshuang.

"Sister, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Song Shuangshuang said that she wanted to hear the good news first and then the bad news later.

"The good news is that Jiang Jingcheng said he has found someone to help repair the house."

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the house can only be repaired after the spring. I guess I won't be able to deliver the goods to Brother Hai during this period."

Song Shuangshuang felt her heart was so cold.

This is really "good news"!!! It will take at least two months before the construction can start in the spring. If she doesn't deliver goods to Brother Hai for two months, she will lose a lot of money, at least half a house in Beijing.

How could she accept this?

She has money but can't make it. It feels like someone is taking money out of her pocket! How can she tolerate this?

"That's not the best way. Either we can just use the same place as before and go clean it earlier and try to give as much as possible at one time. Otherwise, we can work harder and make more trips to sell door to door."

There are only these two ways.

"Well... we'll see when the time comes."

If that shabby place outside the city is so dilapidated that it cannot be cleaned up, she might as well make a few more trips herself.
