Chapter 146 Installing a Stove in the Office

Well, it seems he's craving roasted rabbit again.

"These two aren't enough for you. Wait a minute."

Lin Ying gave each of them a basket: "Take this with you, catch a few more, put them in here and bring them back."

Lin Ying demonstrated for them, and then the two little ones carried a basket in their mouths and walked away.

Watching the two tigers leave, Lin Ying returned to the kitchen to boil water, skin the rabbit, and wash it.

Thankfully there are sewers, otherwise the bloody water spreading everywhere would arouse suspicion from outsiders.

While cooking at home, they were also roasting two little rabbits on an outside stove.

Afterwards, while Zhao Qinghuai went into the room to coax the two children to sleep, Lin Ying put a basin of spiritual spring water in each of their basins.

Lin Ying had mentioned before that she wanted to install glass, and both children were sleeping in the back room.

To prevent the cold wind from blowing in if the window paper breaks.

With Zhao Qinghuai there, the two of them, one holding each hand, hammered in the nails, and soon the glass was replaced.

After the glass was installed at home, Lin Ying looked around and decided to modify and replace the glass in her car.

Zhao Qinghuai followed her wherever she went, and the two of them chatted and worked together, which was quite pleasant.

The next day, when Zhao Qinghuai heard that Lin Ying planned to install the heater in her office, he was worried that it might explode and insisted on going as well.

So, instead of just riding her little bike to work, Lin Ying now has to borrow a vehicle from the military and the whole family has to get involved.

Lin Ying originally planned to use Wu Bo's office again today to finish installing the heating herself, while Zhao Qinghuai would take care of things there and Lin Ying would stay in Wu Bo's office with Er Ya.

Shuanzi followed Zhao Qinghuai around.

Upon seeing Lin Ying, Wu Bo recounted the situation he had inquired about yesterday: "I've already asked about the coal. It's just that the weather's getting colder, and everyone feels that burning coal too much is a waste, so they've all brought coal from the village. They burn the coal when they're not busy, and they add coal when they're busy."

Lin Ying suddenly realized: "If there's no problem, then it's fine." She only noticed the problem with the bill and raised questions; how the bill was actually arranged was not within her scope of work.

When Lin Ying finished her work and went to find Zhao Qinghuai, she found him sitting there reading a book, while Shuanzi was lying on the radiator.

Seeing Lin Ying come over, Shuanzi said with delight, "Auntie, this thing is warm."

Lin Ying smiled and said, "Be careful not to burn yourself."

Then he asked Zhao Qinghuai, "Is it done?"

Zhao Qinghuai nodded: "Yes. Are you done with your work over there?"

Lin Ying nodded: "Yes, I'm done."

Lin Ying touched the radiator; it was indeed quite warm. Zhao Qinghuai hadn't placed the stove outside, but rather near the door and window of the room.

Just as he finished speaking, someone came in from outside.

"Commander Zhao, the supplies have been brought over."

Zhao Qinghuai stood up: "Okay, I'll come out right away."

Lin Ying couldn't help but ask curiously, "Wasn't it all done?"

Zhao Qinghuai said, "Let's set up a partition over here. That way, even with the window open, it won't be drafty inside. Don't come out. Wait inside with the child. I've found two people; it'll be done quickly."

Lin Ying responded.

Zhao Qinghuai did this after consulting with Wu Bo.

Wu Bo is too busy currying favor with Lin Ying right now, so what's wrong with just putting up a cubicle in her office? She paid for everything herself. She hired workers to install it. Even the office heating is her own. If you're not happy about it, then you can do it too.

Wu Bo is not afraid of trouble. If anyone comes to him to make things difficult for them, he will shut them down.

Soon, Zhao Qinghuai and several others measured the dimensions and started making it.

After it was all set up, several people carried it in upright, and after some hammering and banging, the cubicle was finished.

The stove is on the left as you enter. This was where the stove was originally placed, and there's a chimney left from when the house was built. The stove is placed against the wall, with about 50 centimeters of space left outside for storing coal.

The partition wall conveniently separates the area from a window, making it easy to open the window for ventilation.

The water inlet for the heating system is located above the furnace. The drain outlet is located below.

When Lin Ying comes to work, she lights the stove and adds water. When she leaves work, she simply drains the water.

The cubicle door is on the right-hand side when you enter, meaning you need to turn right to get inside.

Both doors were covered with thick curtains. They were actually just curtains made of straw mats and coarse cloth. That's what everyone uses here now. They're windproof and warm.

Although the wooden planks blocked the wind and gas from entering, the heat from the stove could still get in.

So the room temperature is still quite warm.
