Chapter 9 Deep Thoughts
The kang cabinet was locked, Jiang Xinyu took out the key from around her neck and opened the lock.
The first kang cabinet contained a few pieces of cloth. They all looked like heavy cotton cloth, and there were also two sets of clothes without patches. I plan to make two sets of clothes for myself when I have time. At the very bottom of the cabinet, I found a wooden box.
Jiang Xinyu took it out, knowing that this was the family's possessions, including the fifty yuan funeral subsidy given by the county, all kept here.
The first thing Jiang Xinyu noticed inside the box was a silver hairpin, two silver rings, and a pair of earrings.
On one side, there were also two cloth tickets and two food tickets, each worth ten jin. There were five kerosene tickets and one oil ticket. These were compensations from the county. Then she saw those brand new five banknotes.
Next to them was a roll of money. Jiang Xinyu took it out and counted: five banknotes, five two-yuan bills, ten one-yuan bills, five five-mao bills, and the rest were 20 two-mao and one-mao bills. There were also paper tickets of five fen, two fen, and one fen, along with coins.
This money was the entire family estate.
Jiang Xinyu put it directly into her space, considering today's situation. Her life would not be peaceful unless this job was no longer in her hands.
She also put away the new cloth in the cabinet. The second cabinet held the cotton quilts and cotton clothes of the old couple, all washed and dried, which Jiang Xinyu also locked up. The third cabinet had the old couple's old clothes, all clean and neatly arranged. She took a glance and closed it again; this cabinet was often opened and not locked.
Then she propped up the window. This window was not a modern double-opening glass window but a wooden frame with folds, pasted with straw paper, which could be propped up from the bottom.
The clothes had soaked enough, and after another hour, the clothes were hung up to dry.
