Ye Linlang was a girl who grew up in the countryside, so she knew that the newly bought iron pot needed to be made into a pot.

She smiled softly and said, "I will."

Xie Xuning took the watermelon from Ye Linlang's hand and put it into the box. As a gift in return, he took out a box of chocolates as a gift.

Ye Linlang handed the chocolate to the woman and said, "Thank you for the watermelon."

The chocolate is imported from abroad and looks very expensive.

The woman declined, "No, it's too expensive."

"If you refuse again, I'll bring the watermelon back to you."

The woman smiled shyly and said, "Thank you."

The woman stood in front of her courtyard gate, looking at Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang, and slowly walked towards the hardware store on the corner.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, and their shadows were long, like two people kissing each other.

There aren't many things in the hardware store, and the styles are a bit old.

But they were just transitional items after all, so Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning bought a double-handled iron pot for cooking, a clay pot for cooking rice, and a large clay pot for stewing soup.

I also bought some bowls, plates and other things. I bought so many things that the boss even delivered them to my door on his tricycle.

Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang just arrived today, and they are very busy, especially Xie Xuning. He has to arrange everything properly today. Otherwise, when he officially reports to the unit tomorrow, he may be so busy that he won't even have time to go home.

There is a large iron pot on top of the earthen stove. The previous owner did not take it away when he left. It can be used after being washed with clean water.

Ye Linlang quickly boiled a pot of hot water and washed the newly bought dishes, chopsticks and other items in the large iron pot.

While she was boiling water, she put another honeycomb coal into the stove.

The dishes were cleared away and the honeycomb coal turned red.

Ye Linlang lit the stove again and slowly rubbed the iron pan with a piece of pork, ensuring that the fat from the pork could penetrate every tiny gap in the pan, so that the next time she cooked, it would not stick to the pan.

After the iron pot was fixed, Ye Linlang cleaned the clay pot and cooked the porridge over low heat.

This is also the first step for a newly purchased casserole.

Ye Linlang sat on a small wooden chair, looking at the water pump in the yard, feeling a little worried.

This courtyard does not use tap water, which means that every time water is needed, you have to pump it out yourself.

"Xuning, I'm going to the water plant tomorrow to see if they can install running water for our house."

The washing machine can only be used if running water is installed.

Xie Xuning said, "I don't know if there's natural gas. Otherwise, it would be a hassle to light this stove every day."

"I don't know. I'll ask at work tomorrow."

On the first day at the base, Ye Linlang and Xie Xuning went out to eat that night.

Neither of them is the type of person who indulges in pleasure to the extreme, but they are people who have a great interest in life.

They can live in a magnificent castle or a thatched hut.

At night, the weather at the base is still a bit cold, so we have to cover ourselves with blankets when we sleep.

Xie Xuning and Ye Linlang were busy all day and went to bed early. After having breakfast at a small shop outside in the morning, Xie Xuning drove Ye Linlang to the base hospital to report.

Ye Linlang went to the base hospital and reported the situation. Based on her work experience, she was arranged to work in the outpatient clinic.

With the assistance of the outpatient nurses, the work went more smoothly than expected.

An old lady who was about fifty years old came into the clinic while Ye Linlang was seeing her. As soon as she saw Ye Linlang, she said, "Nurse, I don't want the intern to see me. I want the doctor who treated me before."
