The room was four meters wide and six meters long. It was more than 20 square meters. Although it was relatively small, it was enough for a bachelor to sleep.
To Yi Guoqu's surprise, there were two pieces of furniture inside: a wooden bed more than one meter wide, a flat table, and a high stool.
After all, no one lived here, and the old lady did not use it. There was a thin layer of dust in the room. It had been less than three months since the last time it was cleaned. Now, it only needed a little cleaning to move in.
"Go to the old lady's room and get a broom to clean up. I'll go back and get you some bedding.”Yi Zhonghai said.
Yi Guoqu smiled awkwardly. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring the bedding over from home, but those bedding had been slept in by his predecessor for five years!
The bedding had already turned completely iron-colored. There was a layer of oil on the surface, and it could hold up even if a corner was lifted. It also carried a suffocating smell.
On the first day after he woke up, he threw the quilt into the river and hammered it for half an hour. Balls of black dirt spread in the river like ink, instantly becoming a source of pollution.
After barely being washed clean, there was still a strong smell on it. That was the first day he transmigrated!
How could Yi Guoqu stand this smell?
Fortunately, his body was relatively strong. He would only feel slightly cold when he slept without a blanket. In the middle of the night, he would not feel cold even if he turned into a small stove.
Since that day, he had not covered himself with a blanket and slept on a wooden board. He picked up a wooden block and chopped it a few times to barely use it as a pillow.
"Thank you, Sir." Yi Guoqu said seriously.
Yi Zhonghai smiled and patted him on the shoulder. Then, he walked toward the middle court.
Yi Guoqu had never cleaned so seriously after more than an hour of work.
First, he carefully cleaned every corner of the room. Fortunately, there was a high stool, so he could even reach the roof.
After that, Yi Guoqu turned on its full power. He fetched a basin of water in the courtyard and wiped it with a rag. He mopped the brick floor once. That was basically the end. He only needed to wipe the surface again at night. After mopping the floor, it would be very clean.
After they left the house, Yi Guoqu was about to bring the Deaf Old Lady over for dinner when he saw Lou Xiao'e striding forward. Her hands were swinging very much and she was jumping around like a child.
"Sister-in-law!" Yi Guoqu shouted.
On the other side, Lou Xiao'e suddenly quivered when she heard the voice. Her eyes dodged left and right in a panic, and her footsteps became much more disciplined. She muttered," What a loud voice. It scared me."”
After walking in, she looked at the open door of the side door and asked," I remember you. You're the nephew of First Uncle. Why did you come out from here?”
Yi Guoqu smiled foolishly, scratched his head, and said," Yes, Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard is my grandpa. My name is Yi Guoqu. I'll be living here from now on. You'll be living in the backyard too, right? Please take care of me in the future!"
With that, Yi Guoqu extended his right hand with a simple expression.
Of course, Lou Xiao'e wouldn't get stage fright during the exchange. She stretched out her hand generously and said confidently," My surname is Lou, my name is Xiao'e. I'm Xu Damao's wife.”
The two of them held hands. Yi Guoqu was a little surprised. Her face was round, her bones were not small, and her body was very plump, but her hand was surprisingly small.
Yi Guoqu frowned and asked," Lou Xiao'e?”
Lou Xiao'e widened her eyes and asked," What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"And so fierce." Yi Guoqu muttered in his heart as he maintained his handshake posture. He scratched the back of his head with his other hand and asked casually," The basket of bamboo baskets? Small in size? The goose of the big white goose? What a strange name."
Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened in disbelief! How could his name sound so uncouth in his ears!
Lou Xiao'e was extremely angry. She shook off his hand and looked up at him angrily. As long as she found out that it was intentional, she would teach Yi Guoqu a lesson even if there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides.
However, Yi Guoqu was a fool in the past. His muscles had already formed a habit. He did not need to disguise himself. As long as he put on the most comfortable expression, he would be a natural fool.
After watching for a while, Lou Xiao'e didn't see any traces of ridicule. Thinking that he was from the village, the anger in her heart immediately disappeared by half. What was the point of arguing with an uncultured person?
As for the other half, he could only hold it in and wait for Xu Damao to come home!
Lou Xiao'e gritted her teeth and said," No!”In his heart, he cursed him for being illiterate.
Yi Guoqu nodded his head in agreement. He raised his head and said, feeling good about himself," I also feel that it's very strange. What's your name?”
Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath. For the sake of her image, she decided to explain herself. Otherwise, people would always think that she was a big white goose in a basket and feel disgusted!
