Lin Ying realized one thing: even Zhao Qinghuai couldn't figure out what she really had.

Or rather, if she produced something strange, Zhao Qinghuai wouldn't be sure where it came from. Let alone the rest of the military.

In other people's eyes, she was an omnipotent being.

Therefore, before moving, Lin Ying prepared some things in advance, such as a tent and a waterwheel.

Lin Ying hadn't expected that there wouldn't even be a house here. She thought the house might be like Zhao Qinghuai's old home, just one room. In that case, there definitely wouldn't be anywhere to put her furniture. So, she was thinking of setting up a tent to store her furniture.

The tent was originally military green, somewhat like the kind used by the military, but it's also sold outside. Although people might be curious about why she bought it, they wouldn't be curious about where it came from.

As for the waterwheel, it is made of wood, so when people see it, they will think it is something new she made and will not think of anything else.

It was getting dark, and Lin Ying needed to quickly set up the tent, move the furniture inside, and also extend the back of the car into the tent.

Shuanzi took care of Erya, while Lin Ying and Haoyu got busy.

Haoyu helped hand things to Lin Ying, who then propped up the tent poles and set up the tent. Finally, she strung the ropes and buried the tent in the ground.

Finally, the tent was set up before dark.

It's like going back to square one. Besides, Lin Ying is heavily pregnant now, which makes it inconvenient for her to work.

Fortunately, the headlights could still be turned on, providing illumination for the area.

Using the car headlights as a guide, Lin Ying took out the heater that the Second Factory had given her and placed it at the front edge of the tent. She simply cut a hole in the tent wall for the radiator, wrapped it with fireproof cotton, and then threaded the heating pipe through it.

The stove is placed outside.

Since there was no wall, Lin Ying simply moved some stones and placed the radiator there. This way, the surrounding stones would heat up, which would also help dissipate heat.

Next, they filled the heating system with water. Lin Ying brought a large bucket, and Hao Yu brought a small bucket to help.

Soon, the heating system was filled with water. Only then did Lin Ying start a fire to cook.

When moving, she emptied the water from the thermos flasks for convenience. Now, she has to refill them. She could have done this later, but since her three children are all quite busy today, she plans to give them another pot of milk tonight.

After dinner, Lin Ying began moving the furniture inside.

Of course, most of the time she uses a trolley, which saves her a lot of effort.

A heater raised the temperature in the tent considerably, but it was still a bit cold. More importantly, it was quite damp. Naturally, it was unsuitable for sleeping.

So we still need to use her handcart.

Speaking of which, there's another drawback to her wooden cart: it doesn't have a reverse mechanism. So, she has to push it to reverse.

There was a stove in front of the house. Lin Ying would seal it with coal before going to bed at night, but they didn't have much coal left. They used to be able to use it without any problems, but now it wasn't enough. She would need to buy some more when she had the chance.

But right now, she needs to finish what's in front of her first.

The car backed in from behind the tent. Lin Ying had taped the back of the tent to the car so that the outside wind couldn't get in.

Afterwards, Lin Ying went out and filled the car's heater with water and distributed enough coal to the vehicle.

After the car warmed up, Lin Ying added a lot of coal and then sealed the stove. This prevented the water in the heating system from burning out completely, so that she wouldn't have to add both coal and water throughout the night.

Forget about taking a shower today. Lin Ying thoroughly cleaned the car. She put the second board back on and then laid out the mattress. She also laid out the bottom layer. That way, Haoyu and Shuanzi would sleep on top, and she would sleep on the bottom with Er Ya in her arms.

"Okay, finish your milk, then go to the toilet, wash your face, brush your teeth, and wash your feet. We won't take a shower today since it's not convenient."

Without a toilet, Lin Ying temporarily built a makeshift area out of wooden planks and dug a hole to make do. There were no other options at the moment, so this was the only way for now.

The children didn't understand anything, and since Lin Ying usually took care of Er Ya and Shuan Zi, Suan Zi didn't think it mattered whether Zhao Qing Huai was there or not. Therefore, they found the current situation to be a particularly pleasant surprise.

Of course, they think this way entirely because Lin Ying gives them a strong sense of security. They feel that wherever Lin Ying is, that's home.

But Haoyu had experienced the death of his family members. He knew what death meant.

Lin Ying never mentioned this to the children, but Pei Zhen did, and more than once.

Therefore, Haoyu knew that Zhao Qinghuai was dead.

He knew all too well how much of a burden Lin Ying was currently facing. Although Pei Zhen's words were harsh, they were true. Lin Ying alone could not support all of their expenses.

Especially in an era of food shortages where money alone cannot buy food.

So, after washing their feet, the children got on the bus. Shuanzi and Erya were especially happy, jumping and skipping around, but Haoyu was not happy.

He looked preoccupied.

Lin Ying checked the car and confirmed that there was a lot of water inside. When she came back, she saw Haoyu like this.

As Lin Ying walked towards the car, she asked, "Haoyu, what's wrong? Do you need to use the restroom?"

After asking the question, Lin Ying quickly closed the car door and moved the front partition in front of the seat to separate it from the coal. This way, the coal wouldn't soil the bedding. Only then did she spread out the mattress underneath.
