Chapter 177 You have sharp eyes, no need to guess

While eating, Gu Xiaoxi said to Lu Jiansen, "I have nothing to do this afternoon. I want to make the door myself. You can come back tonight and build a stove in the kitchen."

Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, "Okay. Then I'll have someone bring back the wood for the doors."

Seeing that he had also prepared wood, Gu Xiaoxi nodded quickly and said, "Okay!"

After lunch, Lu Jiansen and Gu Dachuan moved the altars and pots from the original kitchen to the new kitchen.

Because it was still early, the two of them dismantled the original stove and cleaned out the garbage.

Before leaving, Lu Jiansen reminded me, "If the door is too heavy and you can't move it yourself, wait for me to come back and move it. Don't move anything that is too heavy by yourself, understand?"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Got it."

Lu Jiansen gently rubbed her head and said, "I'll be leaving now. I might be back a little later in the evening."

"Okay." Gu Xiaoxi nodded.

She has already arranged her afternoon.

After Lu Jiansen left, she first made two door frames, installed them, took some measurements, and then started making the kitchen door.

Doors nowadays are simple, with no particular style required. The wood from the new product showroom does not even require sanding and polishing, so it took Gu Xiaoxi less than an hour to finish the two doors.

However, considering what Lu Jiansen had asked her not to lift heavy objects, she did not install the door. Instead, she made a simple buckle line on the door and carved a small picture of rice ears on the door to symbolize a good harvest.

Taking another look, she felt that this ordinary door suddenly looked much more sophisticated.

She did the same design and carving on the other door.

After finishing, she cleaned the old kitchen, which was now vacant, carefully again.

In two days, she will hire someone to make a kang bed and then she can decorate the room.

While she was planning her next step in her mind, Li Kun brought a truckload of wood over, all of which were walnut and fir of excellent quality.

After the wood was unloaded, Li Kun saw that Gu Xiaoxi had already finished the door, and immediately said, "Sister-in-law, let me install this door!"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "If you have time, please help me install it!"

"It's okay, it's quick to install a door. We'll be done in a minute."

Li Kun called two soldiers to help hold the door, and it was installed in no time.

After the installation, Li Kun looked at the brand new door and said with emotion, "The door made by my sister-in-law is really beautiful, and it even has paintings on it."

"I just carved it casually. Would you like some water? I'll pour you some." Gu Xiaoxi turned and went into the kitchen, preparing to make tea for them.

Li Kun hurriedly said, "No need, sister-in-law. We still have training tasks to perform and will leave immediately. Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

When Gu Xiaoxi turned around, he saw that Li Kun and the others had already left.

She couldn't help but sigh. The military is very efficient in everything they do. They move so fast!

Looking at the wood piled up in the yard, she simply put some of the wood into the junk warehouse and replaced it with smoother wood that did not require secondary processing.

Then, according to the size of the kitchen cabinet, three rice buckets with lids were made out of fir wood.

One is for rice, one for noodles, and one for miscellaneous grains.

Later, I made a small multi-layer shelf to place the clay pots, casseroles, and various altars and jars that could not be placed in the cabinets at home.

After some tidying up, she looked at her clean and tidy new kitchen with great satisfaction.

Now all that’s missing from the kitchen is a stove.

Just as she washed her hands, picked up her bag and prepared to ride her bike out, a little warrior brought her a package.

"Sister-in-law, you have a package from Pyeongsawa City. Please sign here."

Gu Xiaoxi was very surprised, but he signed it anyway.

"Thank you! Please send it over."

"You're welcome." The young soldier took the signed book and left with a smile.

Gu Xiaoxi took a look at the sender on the package and found that it was sent to her by Uncle Hao.

After opening the package, she found an imported rice cooker inside, along with a text message.

In the letter, Uncle Hao said that he had received the package and bicycle she sent last time, and that he had someone buy a rice cooker for her, and asked her to eat well and take care of herself.

Gu Xiaoxi felt warm in her heart and immediately moved the rice cooker into the kitchen.

But when I wanted to try it, I found out that there was no electricity in the kitchen!

In other words, there was not even a socket in the house. After all, there was no electrical appliance in her house except a light bulb!

No, how can I just look at something so convenient and worry-free and not use it?

She didn't go out either. She immediately found a bunch of things in the new product showroom and started making her own socket.

After the socket was completed, she took out a small roll of wires that she had collected from the scrap yard from the new product showroom and began to lay out the wires for the kitchen.

After a while of busy work, the rice cooker was finally powered on.

She first tried boiling a pot of water, while she installed the kitchen light.

While waiting for the water in the rice cooker to boil, she washed the pot and cooked three bowls of rice. She also washed two sweet potatoes, cut them into small pieces and put them on the small steamer to steam.

After thinking for a while, she grabbed a chicken from the accompanying small space, prepared it, and simmered chicken soup on the coal stove before going out.

Because she had promised Sister Guifen to buy her some charcoal, she made a symbolic trip to the town.

After buying three bags of salt and a pound of sugar at the supply and marketing cooperative, she went to the post office and sent a telegram back to her parents. Then she found a place to take a bag of charcoal from the new product showroom and put it on her bicycle.

When she returned, she found that Lu Jiansen had also returned and was setting the stove in the kitchen.

She walked behind him with a look of surprise, "Why did you come back so early today?"

Lu Jiansen's hands were a little dirty, so he didn't dare hug her, so he turned his head and kissed her cheek. "You finished the training mission early, so you came back half an hour earlier. It got cold in the afternoon, so why did you go out without a hat and gloves?"

Gu Xiaoxi retracted his slightly cold hand and said, "I just forgot about that. I went to buy a lot of salt and planned to pickle some vegetables tomorrow. Did you see anything extra at home?"

She tactfully changed the subject.

Lu Jiansen said with a smile: "There is an extra rice cooker. Leader Hao must have sent it. I saw the package list."

Gu Xiaoxi stroked his forehead gently, "You have very sharp eyes, you don't even have to guess."

"Then I'll cooperate with you next time and make a guess." Lu Jiansen looked at his little girl lovingly.

"Then you build the stove! Will my brother come over in the evening?" Gu Xiaoxi went to check the chicken soup he had made and added some seasoning.

"I asked someone to go to the nearby village to invite a few skilled craftsmen to come and make a new kang for our home. He has gone to get them and will be back soon."

While the two were talking, Gu Dachuan came in with some people carrying things.

Gu Xiaoxi felt that she had some trouble in the past, so she cooked in the kitchen.
