Volume 1 Chapter 152: New Home Decoration

"Wife, I've prepared a bath tub for you."

"You can take a shower in your room from now on, but you'll have to put up with going to the toilet."

When Sheng Wanyan heard this, her eyes lit up. How come she didn’t see where it was?

"Where?"

Gu Tingxiao went to the kitchen in the backyard and brought in a bath tub and two water buckets.

He placed it next to the stove, just at the height of the stove, blocking it.

No wonder Sheng Wanyan didn’t see it.

I found this bathtub to be quite large for holding evening smoke. It is no problem to sit in it and stretch your legs, and it is deep enough.

"Wife, take a rest. I'll go boil some water for you."

After Gu Tingxiao finished speaking, he went to the backyard. There was a well in their backyard with a handle. He poured some water into it, drew the water up, and then pressed down to get water out.

They have a well, so it will be very convenient to get water in the future, and they don’t have to carry water anymore.

It was impossible for Sheng Wanyan to rest as there were a lot of things to sort out at home.

She touched the wardrobe and the kang and found that there was no dust. It has been a month since Gu Tingxiao returned to Kyoto, so it doesn't make sense that there would be no dust at all.

It must be that Gu Tingxiao has troubled his comrades, so they often come to help with cleaning during this period.

It's so clean that she can't find any flaws. She will have to thank them when the time comes.

Sheng Wanyan made the bed and put all the clothes into the closet.

Cakes, malted milk, White Rabbit milk candies, etc. were all placed and locked in the cabinet in the room.

Her dowry box was temporarily placed in the empty space at the end of the bed, waiting to be sorted out after the storage rack was completed.

Fortunately, their room is big enough for Sheng Wanyan to have fun.

Put used shoes in a separate bag and place them neatly at the entrance of the living room.

They didn't have much stuff, just clothes and quilts.

Gu's mother originally wanted them to take all the vegetables and meat with them.

If I wasn't afraid of the smell on the train, I would probably move my entire family here.

Sheng Wanyan took out her own paper and pen from the dowry box, sat at the desk and began to write down what they wanted to buy.

The room needs a storage rack. Five layers are enough. The width does not need to be too large, just the same width as her dowry box.

She also wanted a floor-standing rack like those in later generations for hanging clothes. She didn't like folding clothes, so hanging them was more convenient.

She wants to make a shoe rack out of wood and place it at the door of the living room. It would be best if it had several layers.

She wanted the dining table to be higher, about at her waist, and rectangular so that people could sit on both sides, with four people sitting on each side.

Although she prefers round ones, round ones are not available now. She needs them urgently and doesn't want to draw the design and wait.

The dining table chairs just need to have backrests that match the height of the dining table.

Then use wood to make a sofa frame, which should be rectangular and a little wider, so that it will be more comfortable to sit on.

Add two more single-seater sofa frames and place them on both sides.

She planned to make her own cushion and put it on top, as she had already learned the skill of making clothes from Grandma Sheng.

At worst, she has some in her space. She can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cloth to make a pillowcase, and then just put the other one on.

I'll buy the sewing machine, cotton and cloth later.

The coffee table was made in a rectangular shape, but she didn’t want a layer underneath it, so she just made it a single layer.

If there is a layer underneath, it is very difficult to clean and there will often be a layer of dust.

Although the style she chose was not common in that era, it was very simple furniture and did not require much technical skills to make.

We also need a cabinet, just make one according to the ones of this era.

The kitchen needs a rack for pots, pans, and utensils. Wood will easily become moldy when it comes into contact with water, so I can only use bamboo to make a large storage rack.

You can put dishes and chopsticks, or some other things.

It is best to separate them into sections so that you don't have to worry about bacteria, although it won't be very effective.

But it's so comfortable to look at.

Now I only have a big iron pot, and I have to buy a coal stove and a few ceramic pots to use for making soup and other delicacies.

In addition to a large storage rack in the kitchen, you also need to make a rectangular table next to it for preparing food.

After Sheng Wanyan finished writing, Gu Tingxiao also helped her prepare the bath water.

"Wife, come take a shower. We'll go find a carpenter to make furniture and go to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"good."

It's already three o'clock, they have to go out quickly.

Sheng Wanyan stood up and was about to take off her clothes when she saw Gu Tingxiao holding a bucket and standing at the door, staring at her.

"You go out..."

"young married woman……"

Gu Tingxiao felt a little aggrieved. Why couldn’t he watch this?

"Hurry up and take a shower, we have to hurry up and go out."

"Wife, it will be faster if we wash together."

Sheng Wanyan: “…”

Sheng Wanyan firmly disagreed. She thought the man’s words were not credible at all. She simply threw a pair of shorts and a soap at him and pushed him out.

"If you keep on procrastinating, I'll go back to Kyoto soon!"

Sheng Wanyan threatened him, and Gu Tingxiao immediately grabbed his shorts and went to the backyard to take a shower.

"Absolutely no ink!"

Gu Tingxiao's voice came from the backyard, with the sound of water, and there was no trace of grievance from before.

Sheng Wanyan was really convinced.

Sheng Wanyan took out the soap, took off her clothes and took a bath, rubbing her body thoroughly.

After taking a shower, Gu Tingxiao took the water outside to pour it out. Sheng Wanyan could feel the coolness from his body even in such a hot day.

"You...are you taking a cold shower?"

“It’s not cold.”

Gu Tingxiao didn't feel cold at all. It was June and it was very hot.

Normally when the weather is hot, he would just pour cold water on himself.

Even in winter, he can still take a cold shower without changing his expression.

Sheng Wanyan nodded. Men have hot tempers while women have cold bodies, so there is already a big gap between the two.

"Wife, can I take a bath with you tonight?"

Gu Tingxiao looked at her with a pleading look in his eyes, and Sheng Wanyan nodded helplessly.

"It can only be a bath."

"Well, just take a shower."

Gu Tingxiao's eyes were very sincere, and Sheng Wanyan believed it half-heartedly.

"Change clothes and go out."

Gu Tingxiao received the order and went to execute it immediately.

Gu Tingxiao went to borrow a car because he had a lot of things to buy today and he couldn't get it back without a car.

Sheng Wanyan showed him the shopping list she had written down, and Gu Tingxiao added a few items.

"Wife, I'll buy you a radio too. You can listen to the radio at home when you're bored."

"This bamboo storage rack can't be made by the carpenter. I'll go to the mountain to cut bamboo tomorrow. I can make it."

“Is this shoe rack a smaller version of a storage rack?”

Gu Tingxiao’s comprehension ability was perfect, and Sheng Wanyan was very satisfied.

"right."

"Wood or bamboo?"

"Wooden."

Sheng Wanyan made her choice without even thinking about it, because the living room was filled with wooden furniture, which was the best match.

I don't want to make it special, it will be very discordant.

"good."

Gu Tingxiao nodded. His wife’s ideas were all good and easy to do.

“What should we do with our kitchen in the winter?”
