The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 68: Every trade has its own way

Riding on his bicycle, Shen Zhiping quickly left the steel rolling mill and headed straight for the courtyard.

When we entered the courtyard, we saw that Yan Bugui did not go to work, but was drying sweet potatoes at the door of his house.

"Teacher Yan, why didn't you go to school today?"

"Ah, I don't have classes in the morning!"

"Technician Shen, you are back from your business trip!"

When Yan Bugui saw Shen Zhiping, he was also stunned.

Shen Zhiping hadn't appeared in the courtyard for such a long time that he almost forgot about his existence. After all, the renovation of the east wing had been completed long ago and the gate was now locked.

"I came back yesterday, and I came back today to look at the house and buy some furniture!"

“I have to buy furniture!”

Yan Bugui smiled and looked towards the East Cross Courtyard, and whispered, "Technician Shen, do you need to lock the gate of your East Cross Courtyard from now on?"

"Teacher Yan, is there any problem?"

Shen Zhiping glanced at Yan Bugui with a scrutinizing expression.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Isn't this what I'm worried about?"

"If the gate to your east courtyard is locked, if a thief breaks into the courtyard, we won't be able to see or hear anything, and won't be able to help!"

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Shen Zhiping nodded thoughtfully and said, "Teacher Yan, thank you for considering me. This is really my negligence!"

"I'll get two dogs when I get back!"

The gate to the east courtyard must be locked.

He was also planning to grow some vegetables in the east courtyard. If it wasn't locked, who knows for whom the vegetables would be grown!
Shen Zhiping didn't know whether Bang Geng was already developing into a thief, but it was better to be prepared.

"That works, that works too!"

Yan Bugui could only smile when he heard Shen Zhiping say this.

"Teacher Yan, I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to measure the size of the room and buy the furniture quickly. Otherwise, I will have no place to sleep!"

"After a month of business trip, the dormitory smells musty!"

Shen Zhiping explained the whole story to Yan Bugui, and then hurriedly opened the gate of the east courtyard and entered the east courtyard.

After the construction was completed, Captain Cao and his team cleaned up the site, leaving no construction waste, and even cleaned the house.

With the doors and windows closed, the smell in the room is a little strong!
Of course, the main smell is lime powder.

Shen Zhiping held his breath, rushed into the house, opened the window, and then rushed out.

This house has been closed for almost a month, and the smell is really strong!

After opening the doors and windows for ventilation, Shen Zhiping waited outside for a long time. When he felt that the smell had mostly dissipated, he went into the house to measure the dimensions.

After measuring the dimensions, Shen Zhiping left.

If he hadn't found a partner yet, he could make the decision on his own. But now that he has a partner, he still has to ask Liu Wanqing about the furniture.

Liu Wanqing was also very happy to see Shen Zhiping.

After learning that Shen Zhiping was planning to buy furniture, she immediately expressed her enthusiasm and said that she wanted to go with him.

"Won't it affect work?"

Shen Zhiping thought that if Liu Wanqing didn't have time, he would just buy a bed first. After all, he only needed a place to sleep now.

“It doesn’t matter!”

"When you were away on business, that was also when we were busy. We just finished our work these few days!"

"So, take a leave?"

"Well, wait for me!"

Liu Wanqing is very fast.

In just a few minutes, he appeared in front of Shen Zhiping again.

"Let's go eat first, and then we'll go buy furniture!"

"it is good!"

The two did not go to any famous restaurants this time, but just found a state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of hand-rolled noodles each. "I know where to find suitable furniture, absolutely good value for money!"

After dinner, Liu Wanqing volunteered to lead the way and led Shen Zhiping into an inconspicuous alley.

"Where is this?"

Shen Zhiping asked curiously.

Liu Wanqing smiled mysteriously and whispered, "The boutique warehouse of the commissioned store!"

"I tell you, this place is unknown to anyone who is not an expert!"

"Then how did you know?"

"One of my sisters, her husband is a manager in a commissioned store, and our unit needed a few desks before, and she brought me here once!"

Shen Zhiping couldn't help but be silent for a moment. As expected, there is a trick for every trade.

He had wanted to assemble a bicycle at a scrap recycling station before, but ended up making a wasted trip. Could it be that what he wanted could only be found in a boutique warehouse like the recycling station?

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping didn’t know whether there was such a warehouse at the scrap collection station!
The two of them quickly knocked on the door of the courtyard at the end of the alley.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man. Although he was wearing patched clothes, his complexion was not bad, especially his eyes, which were particularly bright.

"Mr. Li, my partner and I are here to buy furniture!"

"It's you, girl!"

The old man stared at Liu Wanqing for a while and finally recognized him.

"come in!"

After confirming that Liu Wanqing had been here before, the old man let the two of them into the yard.

"You guys pick first, I'll go to the front and call someone to come and keep the accounts for you!"

"Sorry to bother you, old man!"

Shen Zhiping sincerely thanked the old man.

The yard is not small, with sheds built all around it and all kinds of furniture placed under the sheds. When Shen Zhiping looked around, he felt his heart beating faster.

The rosewood round table, the huanghuali desk and chairs, and the seemingly brand new step-out bed, their information appeared one by one in front of Shen Zhiping.

As Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing were watching, Mr. Li had already rushed over with the staff from the commissioned store.

Everything is good, so the price is not cheap.

Fortunately, even though it is not cheap, it is within Shen Zhiping's affordability.

However, after choosing the furniture, Shen Zhiping had spent all his money again, leaving only a few dollars in change.

But even so, Shen Zhiping was still very happy.

He bought these furniture not because they would appreciate in value in the future, but purely because they were durable and beautiful.

After paying the loading and unloading fees and leaving the delivery address, Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing did not leave immediately.

The furniture is complete, but there is still a lot to buy.

After all, if Shen Zhiping wants to cook, he needs pots, pans, and other things.

Shen Zhiping was still thinking about going back to borrow some money from his senior brother, but Liu Wanqing pulled Shen Zhiping aside and bought all these things!

"Okay, it shouldn't be that bad!"

Liu Wanqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Shen Zhiping, "Hurry up, we have to go there before the furniture is delivered. I want to see what our home will look like after the furniture is placed in it!"

Shen Zhiping happily followed Liu Wanqing away. He also wanted to see what this home filled with furniture would look like.

After all, that's their home!

However, when the two returned to the courtyard, Liu Wanqing looked at the transparent glass window and pouted, saying, "I forgot to buy cloth for curtains!"

Shen Zhiping smiled when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, we can go buy the furniture when it's ready!"

Just as the two were talking, there was a shouting voice outside.

"Technician Shen, are you home?"
