Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: I haven’t even had time to cherish it, how could I find it annoying?

Geng Erhong had initially wanted to ask what the hurry was. But remembering she had to start work tomorrow, she said, "Alright, go ahead quickly. I’ll come over and help when I’m free."

Yunyi waved her hand. "You just do your thing. The Branch Secretary will arrange for people to go over. I’m afraid we won’t be much help with repairing the house."

"By the way, I asked the Branch Secretary yesterday. There’s a carpenter at the west end of the village. I was thinking of going over to see if there’s any suitable furniture. Do you want to come along?"

What she really wanted to buy was a carrying basket; it was inconvenient to buy things at the commune without a basket for cover.

Geng Erhong readily agreed, "Okay, when you’re done and come back, call me, and we’ll go together."

She wanted to buy a cabinet, as leaving things outside wasn’t secure and offered no privacy. She had even brought a padlock from home specifically for this.

Yunyi left the Zhiqing Point and went straight to the Branch Secretary’s house. "Uncle Branch Secretary, good morning," she said.

The Branch Secretary, who was in the courtyard, saw Yunyi outside the gate. "Chu Zhiqing, up so early," he remarked.

Hearing the noise, the Branch Secretary’s wife walked out from the kitchen. Seeing Yunyi holding something, she greeted her with a smile, "Chu Zhiqing, come on in."

Yunyi smiled and walked into the courtyard. "Auntie, I’ve come to discuss the house repair with the Branch Secretary," she said.

The Branch Secretary pointed to a small stool in the yard. "Sit down and talk," he said.

Yunyi directly handed the Beijing eight-piece set to the Branch Secretary’s wife. "Auntie, these are pastries from Beijing. Please accept them for your family to try something special," she offered.

The Branch Secretary’s wife, Hu Shanmei, protested, "Oh, this won’t do! How can I accept your things?"

Yet, her hand was already reaching out.

Yunyi had genuinely intended it as a gift, so she placed it directly into Hu Shanmei’s hand. "I’m new here and will surely need your help in the future. Besides, it’s nothing extravagant, just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it," she said.

She had brought the local specialty product to build a good relationship. Especially after listening to the older educated youths discuss village gossip last night, and considering yesterday’s interactions, she knew what choice to make.

At worst, they would just tidy up this girl’s small courtyard today. That job would likely be more sought after than a day’s worth of work points.
