Working as a Coolie
"Uncle, it's okay, we just need to clean it up." Yun Qing had obviously made up his mind.
After hearing what Yun Qing said, Yun Qing's uncle stopped trying to persuade her and just said, "Okay, I'll go home and get the broom."
"No need, uncle, we can just do the cleaning, you go ahead and do your work." Yun Qing said quickly. She could naturally hear that her uncle wanted to help her clean.
Yunqing's uncle glanced at Xia Tian, and suddenly seemed to understand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't bother you two anymore, Xiaoqing, Xiaoxia, you guys go ahead and do your work, and we'll have dinner together tonight."
"Okay, uncle." This time, Yun Qing did not refuse his uncle's kindness.
Yunqing's uncle left quickly, but Yunqing came to the car, opened the trunk, took out two mops and some detergent rags and other things, and handed a mop to Xia Tian: "Let's go, let's go sweep the floor."
Xia Tian finally understood that Sister Yunqing had brought him here specifically to work as a laborer.
But Xia Tian didn't mind. He had plenty of energy anyway, and there was nothing wrong with doing hard labor for a while. It would be best if he could do hard labor now and continue to do it at night.
Cleaning a two-story bungalow is actually a relatively large project, especially when the house seems to have not been lived in for many years and the dust is several inches thick in some places. The project is even more huge.
Fortunately, Xia Tian was very energetic and moved very quickly. At the beginning, Yun Qing divided the task with him, each taking half. But in the end, Yun Qing found that she was no match for Xia Tian, so she simply let Xia Tian fetch water, mop the floor, wipe the table and wipe the windows by herself. All she had to do was to carefully clean the places that Xia Tian had cleaned, because Xia Tian was only thinking about being fast, but not being careful at all, so there were always some places that were not cleaned properly.
The two of them spent the entire afternoon cleaning, and Xia Tian, who did most of the cleaning work, seemed quite relaxed. Yun Qing, on the other hand, was so tired that he was panting and sweating. However, by the evening, the house could be said to be completely new. There was no longer that musty smell, no dust at all, and the windows were clean, and it didn't look like anyone had lived there for a long time.
Yunqing's uncle also came to see him several times during the journey, but he just looked and didn't say anything. Of course, Xia Tian now knew that Yunqing's uncle was called Yunbo, and Xia Tian also knew that Yunqing had the same surname as his mother, the same as his wife, the policewoman. But he didn't know whether Yunqing had the same surname as her mother, the same as the policewoman, and he didn't ask about it for the time being.
"Sister Yunqing, are we staying here tonight?" Xia Tian and Yunqing were now standing in the bedroom. Yunqing was sitting on the bed to rest. This was a wooden bed with a classical feel. Although it was quite old, after wiping it clean, it looked quite new and the bed board was still very solid. The only flaw was that there was no quilt on the bed.
"Yeah." Yun Qing responded softly, "I forgot to buy a quilt. It seems we have to go to the county town later."
Before Xia Tian could speak, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister Qing, brother-in-law, are you in there?"
This voice was not unfamiliar to Xia Tian. It was Yun Zhiguang. It seemed that he had returned from Jianghai City.
"Here." Yun Qing responded, stood up and walked out, then saw Yun Zhiguang standing at the door. There was a tricycle parked in the yard outside, with some things loaded on it.
"Sister Qing, brother-in-law!" Seeing the two of them, Yun Zhiguang greeted them warmly.
"Xiaoguang, did anything happen to your car dog later?" Yun Qing asked casually.
"It's okay, Sister Qing, Brother-in-law, thank you so much today, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to go home." Yun Zhiguang was very grateful. He was not a rich man, and losing tens of thousands of dollars would be almost unbearable for him. The most important thing was that he had never been doing his job properly before, and now he finally did business seriously to make money. If he lost a lot for the first time, he would probably lose the confidence to continue in the future.
"You just came back, right? Then you should go home first." Yun Qing said lightly. She and her cousin were not very familiar with each other. Of course, it was not that their relationship was bad, but it was just not that close.
"Sister Qing, I brought some things back for you." Yun Zhiguang said as he unloaded things from the tricycle. "My dad called me and said you would be staying at home, but there was no quilt, so I bought a sheet and a quilt. I have new cotton wool at home, I will bring it to you later. In addition, I also brought you a water heater. Sister Qing, wait a moment, I will go help you move the cotton wool, and then I will come to install the water heater for you."
Yun Zhiguang first moved the water heater in, and then carried a tank of gas in, then left quickly. A few minutes later, he came back with a brand new quilt.
"Sister Qing, let me help you put it on first!" Yun Zhiguang wanted to go in while carrying the cotton wool.
"I'll do it myself." Yun Qing replied. Her cousin's enthusiasm was a little beyond her expectations. She also didn't expect Yun Zhiguang to buy everything she needed. It seemed that she didn't need to go to the county town anymore.
Yunqing went to make the bed first, while Xiatian helped Yun Zhiguang install the water heater. Half an hour later, the water heater was installed and Yun Zhiguang hurried back home. Xiatian naturally went to the bedroom to find Yunqing, but found that the bed had been neatly made and Yunqing was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly in a daze.
"Sister Yunqing, what are you thinking about?" Xia Tian asked curiously.
"Nothing." Yun Qing came back to his senses and looked at Xia Tian, his tone was quite gentle, "Is the water heater installed?"
"It's installed. I tried it and it can take a shower." Xia Tian replied.
"You sit here for a while, I'll go take a shower first." Yun Qing was actually very well prepared this time and even brought some spare clothes. It was obvious that she had already decided to live here before she came here, but she just didn't tell Xia Tian.
Yunqing had just sweated a lot and really needed a shower. Xia Tian didn't say anything. He just looked at the big bed and thought of a wonderful thing in his mind. He was going to sleep on this bed with Sister Yunqing tonight, and then he could do everything he wanted to Sister Yunqing.
Xia Tian was lying on the bed, waiting for Yun Qing to come back from the shower. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard footsteps and jumped up. But then he became unhappy. He stared at the person standing at the door and asked unhappily, "Hey, who are you?"
It was not Yun Qing who appeared at the door, but two men. One was older, looking about sixty years old, with white hair, and the other was quite young, only in his twenties. The two looked quite similar, but it was unclear whether they were father and son or grandfather and grandson.
"Excuse me, is Yunqing here?" The one who spoke was the man in his sixties, and his tone was quite polite.
