Chapter 292 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (7)
After seeing Gu Yanxi's smile, Grandma Yu blinked, but she didn't make a fuss: "Come on, drink some water! You must be tired!"
"Thank you, Grandma!" Xu Youwei quickly took the cup from Grandma Yu, "Grandma, can you please buy this wash basin or some other daily necessities?"
"There's a small grocery store nearby that sells basically everything!" Granny Yu glanced at Gu Yanxi and said, "Let Xiao Gu compensate you. He's very strong and can bring back everything you want in one go."
Then, Granny Yu took another look at her small house and said, "There's nothing wrong with my house, but it's still a little short of useful things. If you want to add more, just add some. Anyway, when I stop renting it out, you can take it away."
Xu Youwei picked up the pen and paper in her bag and began to record what she was going to buy. Since she had to spend some money, she could only plan how to use it.
And things like basins can be used even if you live in a dormitory in the future.
"By the way, as a girl, you'd better buy a door bolt." Grandma Yu reminded, "The gate of my yard is basically not closed during the day. Although it is very safe near the military area, it is still better to be careful."
"I have a small padlock over there." Gu Yanxi said, "I'll replace the door for you later. It can be locked from both inside and outside. This is convenient and safe!"
Granny Yu patted Gu Yanxi on the back and said, "Little Gu, not bad? You know a lot!"
Gu Yanxi was not modest at all: "It's nothing. It's always good to have more skills! It's always good to learn more."
"Did you see that?" Grandma Yu pointed at Gu Yanxi and said to Xu Youwei, "People like this are good. They know a lot, so they can do a lot. All the work will be done by others, so we women can do less."
Although these words were directed at Xu Youwei, they seemed more like a reminder to Gu Yanxi that he should work more.
"Okay, I understand." Xu Youwei held back her laughter and nodded. Although she felt that what Grandma Yu said made some sense, she still agreed with it.
And then he looked at Gu Yanxi a little embarrassedly.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't care at all. Seeing that the house was almost tidy, he started to assemble the wardrobe he brought.
It was just made of a few steel pipes, so it wasn't difficult. Gu Yanxi finished installing it in less than ten minutes: "Do you like it? It's not very big, but it should still be usable."
"Thank you!" Xu Youwei felt a warm feeling in her heart again. In fact, when she was at home, she didn't have many good clothes. She basically just piled them up and put them into the storage box. It seemed that she had never had many decent clothes since she was a child.
She doesn't even have her own wardrobe.
But seeing that strangers were willing to show kindness to her, she felt that she was not actually in trouble.
Maybe it’s just that her family doesn’t like her!
Just as I was thinking about it, Grandma Yu reminded me again: "Also, if you need to buy vegetables, you can go to the vegetable market in front. The vegetables there are fresher and more affordable."
"Mother-in-law, what are you eating? Do you want me to make some for you?" Today is the first day she has lived here, and Xu Youwei wanted to have a meal together to build a good relationship.
"No, you don't have to cook for us." Grandma Yu waved her hand quickly, "We all eat in the military cafeteria. Basically, we don't cook at home."
This is the truth. Grandma Yu's son holds a high position in the army and receives a meal allowance every month. He doesn't use it himself, so he gives it to Grandma Yu and her family. Her husband is also a retired soldier.
He also has a retirement allowance, so the stove in Grandma Yu's house is just enough to boil water!
This was when they were reluctant to go out. A few years ago, when they used bottled gas, they even went to the "tiger stove" water station to get hot water!
"Okay, thank you mother-in-law!" Xu Youwei said gratefully.
Granny Yu smiled and waved her hands: "You're welcome. Although you are my tenant, you are also my neighbor. Who knows, we may have to trouble you again in the future!"
Then she turned to Gu Yanxi and said, "Little Gu, you have to help the little girl a little."
Gu Yanxi smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, mother-in-law."
Xu Youwei and Gu Yanxi went out to buy things together. They talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
They soon found the small grocery store, which indeed had everything they needed.
Xu Youwei picked out some necessary daily necessities, and Gu Yanxi helped to carry them. Soon the two of them had picked up several bags of large and small items.
At this moment, the boss knew who Gu Yanxi had bought the wardrobe for just now. However, considering that the other party had even opened the packaging box and took the wardrobe separately, he could guess that Gu Yanxi probably didn't want the little girl to sell the wardrobe ready-made.
Oh my! I didn't expect that Gu Lian would care so much about what other people think one day!
"Gu Lian, are there too many things to carry?" The boss suddenly said, "I have a small tricycle over there that can carry both people and goods. How about you ride over here and bring the people and goods back together?"
