Zhou Sese hurried back and happened to meet the young man who was invited by He Dahua to bake the pots and stoves.

It’s still April, early spring.

It's still cold.

It's warm at noon.

Cool in the morning and evening.

The young man had already changed into a short-sleeved shirt, revealing his arms tanned to a deep bronze by the sun. He was holding two steel furnace frames in his hands, and the muscles on his arms were bulging stiffly.

You can tell at first glance that he is a good worker.

See Zhou Sese.

A flash of surprise flashed across the young man's eyes, then disappeared in an instant. He smiled cheerfully, "Sister, is it your family that needs to burn the stove? Let me first check out the size of the place and see if I can fit these two frames. If they really can't, I'll go back and pick two smaller ones."

Zhou Sese nodded, put away her scrutinizing gaze, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Being looked at and smiled by such a beautiful female colleague.

I guess this is the first time in this young man's life.

His bronze face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt. He stared at his toes, embarrassed to look at Zhou Sese. "It's not a bother. It's what I should do."

The four of them walked towards Zhou Sese's house.

Head on.

Three or five military wives, led by Guan Tingting, came over.

Everyone was dressed in fancy clothes.

Zhou Sese even found that Guan Tingting had hairspray on her hair.

The five of them passed by Zhou Sese.

A strong and rich scent of vanishing cream hits you in the face.

Zhou Sese subconsciously held her breath because of the choking.

Good job!

God!

Are they going to a beauty pageant?

Gao Yang finally put down his hand that was covering his nose after a few people walked over. He frowned and said sarcastically, "Did you sleep in the vanishing cream? It's almost marinated in it."

He Dahua said with a smile, "They are going to the art troupe."

Gao Yang: "The art troupe is the art troupe in the army?"

He Dahua nodded.

He explained to Zhou Sese, "The art troupe is recruiting people. I've heard a few things about it recently. It seems that they want to choose one of the military wives. They probably want to show their faces and try their luck."

Gao Yang sighed and asked, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go?"

He Dahua patted her belly and said, "I can't sing or dance. After giving birth, my belly has gained a lot of weight. What am I going to do? If I go, I can only play a wooden lump."

While speaking.

He Dahua's gaze fell on Zhou Sese.

His eyes suddenly lit up, "Zhou Sese, why do I feel like this opportunity is tailor-made for you?"

Zhou Sese snored, "I can't sing or dance either."

He Dahua slapped Zhou Sese on the arm and said, "What are you afraid of? You are so beautiful. If you just stand there, everyone will look at you."

Zhou Sese: "..."

Isn't this just a vase?

Zhou Sese shook her head decisively, "I'm not interested."

I'm home.

Zhou Sese opened the door and invited the young man in. "Um... By the way, I don't know what to call you yet?"

The young man said in a clear and loud voice, "Sister, my name is Zhang Liang, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."

Zhou Sese hadn't had time to speak yet.

A small cannonball rushed towards me.

She hugged Zhou Sese's thighs with a little affection, and rubbed her little face aggrievedly, "Mom."

Gao Yang took the basket from Zhou Sese.

Zhou Sese bent down and picked up her daughter.

He poked the tip of Diandian's nose with his finger and asked, "What happened to our Diandian?"

Diandian complained softly, "Mom, my brother and Chunsheng have been reading comic books all the time. No one is playing with me. I am so bored watching Ants Moving House."

Zhou Sese couldn't help laughing.

As he invited Zhang Liang in, he gently nodded with his arm and said, "How about coming with mom to watch Uncle Zhang paste the stove?"

He Dahua took the opportunity to say, "Zhou Sese, since you are back, please help me look after Chunsheng. I will take some time to go to town to buy some things and visit my mother's house."

Zhou Sese agreed immediately, "Okay."

He Dahua left in a hurry.

Zhou Sese hugged Diandian.

Leading Zhang Liang to lay out the layout in the yard, "I originally planned to build two stoves here, but He Dahua said that the flames here will be against the wind in three of the four seasons of the year."

Zhang Liang nodded. "Yes, against the wind, the flames won't be strong. Sister, if you follow my suggestion, put the stove in the southeast corner. The location and wind direction are good, and with these two corners, it won't take up too much space."

Zhou Sese hesitated for a moment. The neighbor over there was Liu Yezi's family. She had not spoken to Liu Yezi since she came here, but based on the original owner's memory, Zhou Sese judged that Liu Yezi was a squib.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that it doesn’t make much noise, its lethality is absolutely amazing.

Including the fact that the original owner was ostracized and faced hostility at the textile factory, it was probably also her fault.

Zhang Liang continued, "Besides, there's only a brick wall in the southeast corner. I see the neighbor to the north seems to have built their own shed. If that's the case, the north side is unsafe."

After all, the climate here is relatively dry, and the winds are strong in autumn and winter. If a gust of wind carries the flames to the roof of someone else's shed, it would be a disaster."

After a brief thought, Zhou Sese nodded, "Okay, then put it in the southeast corner. You mean you can make a corner, right?"

Zhang Liang nodded.

Walk over.

He placed the two steel racks on either side. "That's basically it. One person uses the kitchen stove and stands in the middle. It's easy to control both stoves, which saves trouble."

Zhou Sese understood.

Just make an L shape against the right-angle wall, one against the east wall and one against the south wall.

Zhou Sese said, "Okay, I'll trouble you next. I don't understand these, so please take more care."

Zhang Liang scratched the back of his head shyly. "Of course, sister. I'll go get some bran now and be back in an hour. You can clean up the corner while you're at it."

Zhou Sese took Gao Yang and Diandian to clean the southeast corner.

Diandian slipped while jogging.

I ate a mouthful of dirt.

She insisted that she had eaten the ants and was terrified.

Zhou Sese hurriedly took Diandian to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

At this time.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and two Sheng Xijiangs in military uniforms walked in while talking.

The man in the military cap saluted Gao Yang immediately when he saw her. "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Gao Yang's face flushed red.

He took the clothes hanger in his hand and threw it over, "Bah! Lecher, who is your sister-in-law?"

After saying that, he ran to find Zhou Sese.

The man looked at Sheng Xijiang behind him with a bewildered look on his face, "No, isn't that your wife?"

Sheng Xijiang held his military cap in his hand and glanced at him lightly, "Who said that was my wife?"

Gu Zhonghua: "Fuck you... why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Sheng Xijiang walked inside and threw the hat to him, "You didn't ask."

Gu Zhonghua: "...Hey, wait for me!"
