Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 946 Organizing
"Why did you buy so many things? We already have thermoses and other things at home, so why are there new beddings?"

"I have to go to get it from home, which is too far and inconvenient. Now I have a thermos and can go to the tiger stove to buy two pots of hot water. When I wash the rag in the basin, I can use warm water. This way I suffer less.

I bought the bedding specially. No one has lived in this house for a long time. I will live here alone for a few days to increase the popularity. This way it will be better for you and Hongmin to move in."

"You kid."

"Oh, auntie, there is a fireplace in the room, but I don't think it's suitable to use it now, so I just bought some briquettes at the briquettes supply station. They will be delivered to me soon. Please point out a place to put them."

"Yes, yes. Other families all use coal briquettes to live. If we use a fireplace, that would be asking for trouble. I'll go see if the woodshed on the west side can still be used. The family used to store firewood and coal briquettes there."

"As long as there is a place, go to the tiger stove and buy two pots of hot water. I'll go clean up the woodshed."

After Hao Jing went to buy water with the thermos, Han Li went to the woodshed and cleaned up everything with a wave of his hand.

Next, the two of them began to tidy up, sweep, mop the floor, wipe, rearrange the existing furniture, and bought a few "oil dumplings" for a simple meal at noon.

Youdunzi is a fried food similar to the northern vegetable triangle. Hao Jing bought three kinds of Youdunzi with fillings: chopped green onion and shredded white radish, red bean paste, and meat.

Han Li felt that the ones with red bean paste filling were average, while the ones with shredded radish and meat filling were both good.

The coal briquettes and stoves were delivered in the afternoon. Han Li quickly lit the stoves, and then placed one in the living room, one in the kitchen, and one in the bedroom where he would sleep tonight.

Because there is no glass cutter, the chimney cannot be installed for the time being. With Hao Jingshi by his side, Han Li cannot use decomposition to make a hole in the glass. Now he can only push the window open a little.

However, after the stove was lit, the damp and cold smell in the room was gradually reduced, an effect that could not be achieved by opening the windows for ventilation.

The two of them were busy until the evening and had only cleaned more than half of the room. Han Li stopped Hao Jing from cleaning the room in one go.

"Aunt, it's almost time. Let's all stop here today and have a meal together. I'll take you back."

After Han Li finished speaking, Hao Jing looked up at the sky. She had been immersed in the joy of cleaning up her own house and had not realized that it was already this time. If it were her alone, she would definitely work late into the night, but Han Li, her future son-in-law, was also there, so she could only put down the rag in her hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll bring the stove and cooking utensils when I come tomorrow, and we'll start a fire here."

Han Li's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. It was only a matter of time before Hao Jing moved her family's things here. It was basically impossible to hide this from the neighbors, and he had to be careful about people's hearts.

Hate you for what you have, laugh at you for what you don't have, despise you for being poor, and fear you for being rich. This mentality basically knows no boundaries or time.

When it comes to the fact that Hao Hongmin found such a good partner like Han Li, her neighbors can only sigh that their daughters did not meet such an excellent partner. This is just bad luck and they can only accept it helplessly.

But their neighbors could never accept such a big and nice house. Originally, everyone lived at the bottom of society, living in crowded and simple alleys, and people like Hao Jing were at the bottom of society, usually looked down upon, despised, and laughed at by everyone.

Now these people suddenly have to move into spacious and comfortable mansions, while they can only continue to live in small alleys. The psychological gap of these neighbors can be imagined.

The situation would be better if Hao Hongmin's family moved out of Shanghai directly, or if there was a man in her family.

But her family was not moving out of Shanghai, and Han Li would be leaving Shanghai soon. At that time, there would be only two women in her family, and they would basically have no ability to resist risks.

They wouldn't take such a risk. If they had the ability, they wouldn't be living in the alleys now. But if someone feels unhappy, it would be disgusting to write letters of denunciation every few days.

Therefore, this matter can only be played down little by little and cannot be made known to everyone.

It would be best to remove Hao Jingshi's current job of sweeping the streets so that the neighbors cannot contact them in a short period of time. This situation can be solved only after the reform and opening up next year, when the capitalist titles of Hao Hongmin and her daughter are no longer a weakness, Han Li said after making up his mind when he thought of this.

"That's great. I've always been thinking about your cooking skills, but the human heart is the most complicated thing. When you take things out, take less each time, and it's best not to tell the truth to the neighbors. After all, I'm going back to the old city in a few days."

Hao Jingshi also reacted to what Han Li said. What she had experienced over the years made her clearly understand the meaning of the four words "human heart is unpredictable". She was just too excited to think about these things just now, but it did feel a bit strange to be lectured by a junior.

The two of them had a simple dinner on the street. While eating, they thought about what excuse they could use to gradually make the mother and daughter fade out of the sight of the neighbors.

After dinner, Han Li accompanied Hao Jingshi all the way home before leaving. During this time, many of their neighbors saw them. After Han Li left, Hao Jingshi told the curious neighbors the reason that the two of them had just agreed upon.

"Han Li felt sorry for my daughter because she didn't eat well at school and running back and forth would affect her studies, so he rented a room for me near the school and asked me to cook for my daughter at mealtime. I come back less often on weekdays, but the house over there can't accommodate two people, so we come back here to live on Sundays."

True? False? It doesn't matter. What matters is to tell these neighbors that Hao Jingshi will come back less often in the future, so that she can find a more reasonable reason for not coming back often.

Another thing is to tell the neighbors that the rented house is very small, and the mother and daughter have to come back to live there on Sundays. Such a small house will not make the neighbors jealous.

Similarly, if Hao Jingshi took out some daily necessities, it would not arouse the suspicion of these neighbors.

After Han Li left the alley, he did not go directly back to the house on Duolun Road, but turned and went to the black market to look for what he wanted.

However, he did not find the tickets for the gas tank and gas stove he wanted in the first black market, but he got a ticket for a radio, which was also good. He could buy it for Hao Hongmin and her daughter to entertain them at home.

It was at the second black market that Han Li found what he wanted. In addition, he also got some extra money and tickets for backup. Money can be spent anywhere, and the local tickets can be left for Hao Hongmin when he leaves.

After Han Li returned to Duolun Road from the black market, he first decomposed the glass to create a hole that was just big enough to accommodate the chimney. After installing the chimney, he made himself a cup of tea, lay on the bed that Hao Jing had just made, and took out a book from the decomposed space and slowly began to read it.

What Han Li didn't know at this time was that two things that were closely related to him had happened in Sijiu City in the past few days, and he would still have a headache when he returned.
