When they arrived at the three-way intersection outside the commune, they were waiting. There were people from the transportation team that Sun Zhou was looking for. Around noon, the transportation team would pass outside the commune and return to the county. They could just catch a ride.

Xu Ningyan and Gu Zhiyuan didn't wait long before the transport team's convoy arrived and stopped when they saw them.

After checking the identity, two people came down to help and quickly loaded the things into the car.

Because the front cab was full, they were allowed to climb into the back compartment with their luggage.

The back compartment was covered with tarpaulin and was pitch black, and there seemed to be something inside.

Both of them were very measured people. They didn't even look at each other. They just put their luggage at the back of the car and the two of them squeezed in at the back of the car.

The road was bumpy, but fortunately there were two large packages in the luggage, which contained bedding and clothes.

Dragging it over, two people and one dog sat on it. Xu Ningyan tightly grasped the car fender with both hands to avoid being knocked down.

Gu Zhiyuan held the fender with one hand and held the dog's leg with the other hand, fearing that it would be thrown off.

The weather was hot, and the carriage was stuffy and stuffy. It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching the earth and the carriage.

The two people and the dog were like a steamer in the carriage, and they could only lift a small piece of oilcloth to let in some air.

When they arrived at the county town, the car took a detour and took them directly to the door of the rented courtyard.

Sun Zhou was already waiting at the door and greeted him warmly. He called the people in the transport team brothers and was busy lighting cigarettes and chatting.

After Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan moved the things down, Sun Zhou wanted to stay with the transportation team to have lunch together.

After being rejected by the transportation team, they also had to rush back to the transportation team to report. They had been away for a long time, and who didn’t want to go home early to have their wife and children warm up on the bed.

Sun Zhou didn't force him to stay. He just said that they would have a meal together when they were free. Each of them stuffed two packs of good cigarettes and sent them away.

When they came back, the three of them moved their luggage into the yard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Ningyan saw three main rooms and three side rooms.

Gu Zhiyuan had already told Xu Ningyan about the layout of this courtyard yesterday, and she had a rough idea of ​​it.

After coming in, I discovered that although the yard looked a bit old, it was well maintained. It was obvious that the landlord cared for the house.

The yard is about one or two hundred square meters, with a loquat tree planted on one side and a magnolia tree planted on the other.

There is a path paved with gravel and cinders in the middle, with vegetable gardens cultivated on both sides of the road.

The landlord and his wife cultivated cucumbers, cowpeas, and tomatoes carefully. There were bitter melon vines growing along the courtyard wall, and they were covered with bitter melons.

From time to time there are white butterflies and bees flying around in the vegetable garden.

The dog-legged guy was knocked unconscious in the car. His legs were weak when he got out of the car, so he was lifted off by Gu Zhiyuan.

All four feet landed on the ground, and he lay on the ground motionless on the spot.

At this moment, I regained some strength. When I saw the butterfly, I couldn't help my instinct and chased the butterfly with my tail swung.

Xu Ningyan felt relieved when she saw that it had returned to its normal state.

There weren't too many things, they were basically Xu Ningyan's things and some food.

After helping move the things into the room reserved for Xu Ningyan, Gu Zhiyuan and Sun Zhou went out to avoid suspicion.

The two of them are not idle either. They have to tidy up the kitchen. The briquettes they had agreed to deliver just today. They also have to move them in and put them under the eaves. They also have to put a piece of plastic sheet over them to protect them from the rain.

The kitchen was filled with firewood, some left by the landlord, and some that Gu Zhiyuan asked Sun Zhou to buy later.

Xu Ningyan's room is on the left side of the main room. There is an old-fashioned wooden bed in it. Although it looks old, it is very sturdy.

There is also a desk with drawers on both sides and a complete piece of glass on the table top.

It is said that this is the most popular thing among city people nowadays. Most people will put newspapers or family photos under the glass.

It's just such a complete piece of glass, with nothing to do with it, but I can't get it.

At first glance, it was Sun Zhou's handiwork.

In addition, there is a tall wooden wardrobe. The door is inlaid with an oval glass mirror, which can illuminate the whole body, which is an unexpected surprise.

Xu Ningyan touched it. The closet, desk and bed were all wiped clean, and there was no dust.

Put the clothes in the closet, hang the mosquito net, put on the bedding and come out.

In the main room, there is a square dining table, four benches, and six wooden chairs placed against the walls on both sides.

There is a portrait of a great man hanging on the wall directly above, and a long desk is placed below, which the locals call "Chuntai".

There is a large enamel tea jar and a round tea tray on the spring stage, with several glasses inside.

There are two bouquets of plastic artificial flowers in the glass vases on both sides. They are red and add a touch of color to the room.

Next to the spring stand is a wooden washstand, with a brand-new printed towel hanging on it and an enamel basin placed on the shelf.

Under the eaves, there is a bicycle that is not old but not old, and a bamboo bed of Nanzhu under the tree, which is the best place to enjoy the cool air.

The well is next to the loquat tree. It has a round platform with a windlass on it, making it easy to use water.

There are three side rooms, the smallest one is locked and should be used to store the landlord's things.

In the middle is the kitchen, and next to it is the utility room.

There are two stoves and two large pots in the kitchen, making cooking convenient.

There is also a metal coal stove at the door with a kettle on it. City people have this. In winter, they will not be short of hot water all day long, and it is easy to use for cooking and steaming rice.

In the cupboard against the wall, there is a brand new set of tableware and two aluminum lunch boxes. Next to the cupboard are two small rice vats with wooden lids.

When I opened it, I saw a jar full of rice and noodles.

Bottles and jars of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are neatly arranged on the stove, ready for cooking at any time.

After just looking around for a while, Xu Ningyan was very satisfied. Everything he could think of and unexpectedly had been prepared.

When he came out, Gu Zhiyuan was taking nails and wooden boards to make a small house for Goujizi.

Sun Zhou, who was nowhere to be seen, pushed the door in from outside, carrying a few lunch boxes in his hand. When he entered the courtyard, he greeted with a smile: "Come on, the master chef of the state-owned restaurant will serve his specialty today!"

The food was placed on the dining table in the main room, with a piece of pork, pickles underneath, a piece of bean skin sandwiched between the meat, a braised fish fillet, a braised pork with cabbage, and a braised eggplant with cowpeas.

Xu Ningyan took a look and walked around the vegetable garden. When she came out, she touched two cucumbers with thorny tops and a few tomatoes. She went to the kitchen to work for a while and brought out a cucumber and a tomato mixed with sugar.

A full table was set up.

Sun Zhou took out a bottle of wine from nowhere and said that today was a warm house and he had to drink a few sips anyway.

Gu Zhiyuan only allowed half the cup to be poured, and Sun Zhou drank the rest.

After taking a few sips of wine, Sun Zhou seemed to want to ask something, but he just started: "Comrade Xiao Xu, I didn't expect-"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhiyuan glared back.

Sun Zhou could only finish a bottle of wine in humiliation, and after clearing all the food on the table, he was thrown to the bamboo bed under the tree by Gu Zhiyuan in a daze. After a while, The snoring was so loud.
