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.
