Chapter 291 Little Tomorrow and Her Soldier Brother (6)
In fact, there is no simple wardrobe in Gu Yanxi’s house!
That was his excuse.
However, because the traffic here is relatively high, a wardrobe made of steel pipes and velvet is sold in a nearby grocery store.
The price is cheap, and it is quite durable to use.
Gu Yanxi had thought about buying one for his nephew Gu Lan before, so that he could use it when he came over, but now Gu Lan had already gone to his own dormitory.
Naturally, this wardrobe was no longer used. He was actually glad that he did not buy it, otherwise it would have taken up space and wasted money.
But now seeing that Xu Youwei doesn’t have a wardrobe, I immediately think this is a good thing.
After all, the other party is more likely to accept something if it doesn't look too expensive.
When they arrived at the grocery store, the boss saw Gu Yanxi and asked, "Gu Lian, are you here to buy a wardrobe? Has your family arrived?"
It turned out that Gu Yanxi had come to ask about the wardrobe once before, so the boss still remembered it: "Is it the blue one you like? I'll get it for you right away!"
"Ahem!" Gu Yanxi coughed lightly and said awkwardly, "I don't want the blue one, do you have pink one?"
The boss' eyes widened, thinking he had misheard, so he asked again, "Are you sure it's pink? Didn't you always say you wanted blue?"
"It's not my family who needs it, but a friend of mine. She just rented a house here and needs a wardrobe." After saying this, there was no change in the expression on Gu Yanxi's face, but his ears were a little red.
I thought carefully about what I said and thought to myself: I hope the boss doesn't misunderstand anything.
I want pink! This friend must be a girl.
but
"We don't have a pink one. If it's for girls, there is a light yellow one. Gu Lian, do you think it's okay?" The boss asked with some embarrassment, "After all, as you know, most of the people who come here are men."
"Okay, let's go with yellow!" Gu Yanxi thought for a moment and said, "Please help me remove the outer carton packaging and pack it in a bag for me."
An unassembled wardrobe is actually just a few steel pipes, a few connectors, and a piece of velvet.
So it doesn't matter if you put it in a bag.
Although the boss doesn’t know why Gu Yanxi made such arrangements, the customer is God!
He smiled and nodded, then turned to get the wardrobe.
After a while, he packed the things in a bag and said to Gu Yanxi, "Although they are just a few tubes, they are affordable and durable. They are very suitable for young people who rent houses."
Gu Yanxi had seen the wardrobe once or twice before and thought it was pretty good, so he paid for it and walked back with the bag.
Along the way, he was thinking about how to explain it to the other party so that the other party would feel at ease to accept the wardrobe.
We didn’t walk far before we arrived at Grandma Yu’s house.
The door was still not closed, and Gu Yanxi knocked on the door a few times before walking in.
Looking at Xu Youwei fetching water in the yard, he slowly walked over and said, "Do you need help? That house has not been occupied for a while, and there is a lot of dust.
You two should act quickly, at least you should have a place to sleep tonight!"
Xu Youwei originally wanted to refuse, but then she thought that Gu Yanxi was right. She had to make the bed no matter what, otherwise she might have to "play ball" tonight.
Seeing the other party's hesitation, Gu Yanxi smiled and took the rag from Xu Youwei's hand, then pulled out a bamboo pole more than one meter long from the corner of the wall: "A house like this needs to be cleaned from the top of the head."
After rubbing the clean rag, he tied it to the bamboo pole, and then Gu Yanxi skillfully folded two hats from the newspaper in the yard: "Here, put them on, so that nothing will fall on your head."
Xu Youwei was obviously surprised by Gu Yanxi's skilled operation. She stammered, "Brother Gu, you seem to know a lot!"
"Housekeeping is the most important lesson for a soldier." Gu Yanxi explained, "Keeping clean and tidy is the most basic requirement. Let's go!"
As he said this he entered the room first.
The pile of "steel pipes" and "velvet cloth" he brought with him were temporarily placed on the camphor wood box by Gu Yanxi.
It’s not that she’s afraid that someone will take it, but Grandma Yu is old and has an extraordinary obsession with cardboard boxes, steel pipes, and rags.
I was afraid that she might do something bad with good intentions, so I had to bring it to the room first.
"You just watch from the side first." Gu Yanxi said to Xu Youwei, "Wait for me to clean up the top first, and then we can do other things together. There is only this bamboo pole, so I will do these things."
To make the operation easier, Gu Yanxi unbuttoned two buttons on his chest and rolled up his sleeves, giving people the feeling that he was going to do something big.
Gu Yanxi worked quickly, and in less than ten minutes every corner of the roof of the house had been cleaned.
"Okay! We can do the rest of the things together." Gu Yanxi turned around and smiled at Xu Youwei.
Just then, Grandma Yu came over to bring the two of them some water and happened to see Gu Yanxi's smile.
