Liu Da's voice was so loud that everyone in the yard heard it.

Mu Tou looked at Chen Qiangwei a little embarrassedly and said, "Chen Zhiqing, how about we two brothers come back this afternoon and help you install the bed?"

Liu Da's father is the accountant of Huaihua Brigade, so he has to give him face. Moreover, when the trees are cut down, they will be used as household items.

Gu Anyang smiled faintly: "Brother Amu, Brother Atie, let me help Chen Zhiqing with the installation. You can go ahead and do your work first."

Afraid that Chen Qiangwei would be worried, Gu Anyang almost patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, Chen Zhiqing, I've been able to do this kind of simple installation and disassembly since I was a child. I guarantee that I'll install it firmly for you."

Looking at Gu Anyang's expectant eyes, Chen Qiangwei smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your help then."

Seeing that Chen Qiangwei had no objection, Mu Tou and Tie Tou said happily, "Chen Zhiqing, we'll be leaving first. If you need any help in the future, just come to us. We will definitely not shirk our responsibility."

Liu Da heard the voice of his cousin Gu Anyang outside the door. No wonder his cousin asked him to come to find Brother Amu and Brother Atie at this time. It turned out that it was all planned.

Of course, except for Liu Da and Gu Anyang, no one else knew about this. In the eyes of others, it was just a coincidence that he came to look for Mu Tou and Tie Tou at this time.

Liu Da's elder brother is planning to get married after the spring planting is over, and his family is busy preparing furniture and other wedding items for him.

His mother specifically instructed that a sturdy big bed must be made for his eldest brother, big and sturdy enough, so that they could have two children in three years.

The mountains and trees on the mountains of Huaihua Brigade belong to the collective. When people in the team need wood, they report to the brigade headquarters and pay money to cut down trees, one yuan per tree.

So whenever someone needed wood to make furniture, they would always ask Old Man Gu, who had been dealing with wood all his life, to help choose a big and good tree. When Old Man Gu's two sons grew up and learned his skills, the people who chose the trees became Wood and Tietou.

After Mu Tou and Tie Tou left, Gu Anyang said, "Let's get started. You guys are staying in my cousin's previous room, right? I'll get the materials in there first."

Gu Anyang liked to play at Gu Sannai's house since he was a child. He was as familiar with Gu Sannai's house as his own home. He picked up the bed board and walked in.

"I'll come too. There's strength in numbers."

"Sister Weiwei, I'm coming too."

Chen Qiangwei picked up two beams and followed Gu Anyang, and Wang Xiaomai also followed Chen Qiangwei holding two beams.

Because there will definitely be outsiders coming in today when the wooden bed is being installed, Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai have already cleaned the room.

As soon as Gu Anyang entered the room, he saw that it was tidy and neat, and a faint familiar fragrance came into his nose.

Gu Anyang's face flushed red and blood rushed to his head. This was the fragrance of Chen Qiangwei.

Looking at Gu Anyang standing still at the door, Chen Qiangwei asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Anyang stammered, "No, nothing."

He stuttered when he spoke, which didn't seem like a big deal. Suddenly, Chen Qiangwei saw that Gu Anyang's ears were red.

She suddenly realized that she was just shy.

Afraid that the girl he liked would notice something, Gu Anyang pretended to be calm as he went in, put his things away and walked out as if nothing had happened, but he didn't know that his walking with the wrong turn gave him away.

"Puchi." Chen Qiangwei couldn't help laughing. It was so cute.

Although Gu Anyang didn't know what Chen Qiangwei was laughing at, his intuition told him that it must have something to do with him.

He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he quickened his pace and moved the bed legs, bed boards and other materials into the room several times.

After all the spare parts were moved, the next step was installation. Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai assisted Gu Anyang.

Gu Anyang really didn't lie, he started the installation very skillfully.

Today's wooden beds don't have nails or screws, they're all installed with mortise and tenon joints. The two materials to be inlaid will have grooves or ridges of appropriate size at the joint, and when installing, just align the grooves and ridges.

It is really simple, but a bit labor-intensive. In order to make the bed more stable, the concave and convex parts are made very tight, and it takes a lot of strength to install them.

Looking at this bed that he had assembled with his own hands, and thinking that the woman he loved would rest on this bed in the future, blood rushed to his head and two hot streams flowed out of his nose.

"Comrade Gu Anyang, you have a nosebleed."

Gu Anyang was still immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself. "Ah? What? Oh!"

He reached out and touched his nose, only to find blood on his hand. Only then did he realize how impure he was.

Gu Anyang hurried outside, washed his hands with water, then raised his chin and kept patting his forehead with his wet hands. The coolness slowly stopped the nosebleed and no longer flowed out.

Gu Sannai said with distress and helplessness: "Young people are so hot-tempered that they can even get nosebleeds while doing work."

Gu Anyang glanced at Chen Qiangwei shyly, "Third Grandma, it's nothing."

"Well, Chen Zhiqing, give it a try and see if the bed shakes. If it does, I'll help you fix it."

After Gu Anyang finished speaking, he felt a warm current about to flow out of his nose. In order to avoid making a fool of himself again, he quickly turned around and pinched his nose.

Living in a very open environment in her previous life, Chen Qiangwei had seen pigs walk even if she had never eaten pork.

After a little thought, she knew why Gu Anyang had a nosebleed, but she didn't say it out loud.

Chen Qiangwei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go try it right away."

Gu Anyang: ...Your voice is so nice, it makes me want to bleed from my nose even more. What should I do?

After a while, Chen Qiangwei came out and said, "I tried it. It's very solid and doesn't shake at all. Thank you."

"No, you're welcome. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Third Grandma, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for their reply, Gu Anyang ran out of Gu Sannai's house as quickly as if a wolf was chasing him.

Gu Sannai had just returned to her room to get some snacks that she had saved for a long time and was reluctant to eat for Gu Anyang, but she didn't expect that in just a short while, Gu Anyang had disappeared.

"Really? It's so urgent, like being chased by a dog."

Wang Xiaomai also spoke up, "That's right, it makes Sister Weiwei and I seem scary."

Chen Qiangwei: ...Everyone is drunk but I am sober, but I just won’t say anything.

Chen Qiangwei happily returned to her room and moved the mattress, quilt, etc. from the original bed to the new bed.

From today on, she could sleep in her own bed again. Wang Xiaomai helped Chen Qiangwei make the mattress.

It was March, and the weather was still chilly. It was not yet time to hang up the mosquito net. Chen Qiangwei used the excuse of needing personal privacy to take out the coarse cloth she had brought from Beijing, and then found four strips of cloth and used them to surround the bed.

"Today is a good day. To celebrate my new bed, let's make tomato and egg drop soup for lunch."

"That's great, thank you Sister Weiwei."

"Who would dare to marry such a wasteful spendthrift?"

Chen Qiangwei didn't care. She had come to terms with it. Life was short, so enjoy it while you can. Who knew it might be over in the next second?

Think about it, she worked so hard in her previous life and stockpiled so many supplies, but in the end they all disappeared?
