Chapter 18 The People's Eyes Are Sharp (2/2)



The fourth grandmother beside her nodded, suddenly realizing, "It's very likely, otherwise it doesn't make sense."

Feng Mian smiled at her and said, "Then I'll take care of the fourth grandmother first."

"Hey, okay, go slower."

Feng Mian put the pole on his shoulder to try it out. It was quite heavy, and the road was difficult to walk on. He was really afraid that he would not be able to carry it back.

Trembling and cautiously all the way, he finally carried a basket of water back.

Pour it into the water jar, only fill it halfway.

Feng Mian hesitated whether to pick some more. She looked at the weather forecast. There would be no snow today, nor the day after tomorrow. It would probably snow only a little today.

The snow is colder and the roads are harder.

After thinking it over, I decided to go and pick it.

If I don’t choose today, I will have to choose tomorrow. It’s fatal.

Fortunately, when she went back to the village this time, she saw that Grandma Si had left. Otherwise, she was really afraid that the old lady would pull her aside to chat again.

Feng Mian carried two baskets of water and on his way back a familiar figure blocked his way.

She shook off her troublesome bangs and looked at him in confusion as he took over her shoulder.

"What are you doing in our village?"

As he was speaking, the carrying pole had already been lifted onto Gu Yuelin's shoulders.

"I came to see you."

"Looking for me?"

"Well, are you going to make a bed?"

Make a bed?

No, she plans to buy some ready-made ones from Baoer.

"I saw a lot of wooden boards in your room last night. The old elm wood is very heavy. I'm afraid you can't move it."

this……

Feng Mian didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Then make a bed for yourself."

"Um."

This load of water was poured into the water jar, filling it up, and there was no need to fetch any more water.

Putting down the empty bucket, Gu Yuelin came in from the door and took out a snakeskin bag, which was filled with carpentry tools.

He really came to work and had all his tools ready.

He took out his tools and started to work.

Feng Mian stood at the kitchen door and said, "Don't rush to work. I have steamed buns. Eat two first and then work."

"I came here full, not hungry."

Huh? He came here today only after he had eaten his fill.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I can do it alone." He looked around and asked, "Why are there no piers? They are all wooden boards, which can only be used as bed boards."

Feng Mian smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't plan to use them to make a bed. I originally planned to use them to make a wall."

"wall?"

Gu Yuelin looked at the pile of wooden boards and imagined that the room was divided into two by a wooden wall, but there was only one bed. She would sleep on the bed while he would sleep on the floor on the other side of the wooden wall?

"If you want to build a wall, you can't just use wooden planks. It's more complicated than a brick wall. It's better to weave a screen out of bamboo."

"Yeah, I didn't think that much at the time, but later I thought about it. There are so many wooden boards, why don't you make a bed with a few and use the rest as the floor."

"floor?"

"Yeah, this muddy ground is fine on sunny days, but it gets dirty when it rains."

Gu Yuelin thought for a while and said, "If we want to make a floor, we can't just use wooden planks. We need to put a skeleton frame on the ground to prevent moisture, and we need something to pad it."

Feng Mian scratched his head, "Just do whatever you say. Tell me if you need anything."

“Do you have any wood at home?”

"Yes, the woodshed behind my kitchen is full of wood."

Feng Mian then took him to the woodshed. At that time, the production team had a lot of wood.

Gu Yuelin said that with these woods, she would have no problem laying wooden floors and could also make beds.
