All the door locks here are fingerprint locks, no keys are needed. Before moving in, all the doors of the apartments could be opened at will. At that time, Professor Dong also thought it was quite novel and fun.
After entering the 01-door residence, the people in the mountains were stunned and amazed. This place is really wonderful and surprising!
The immaculate floors were as smooth as mirrors, and the walls were covered in a riot of color. Each room had a different color. Some were pink, warm and romantic; others were deep blue, profound and mysterious; still others were pale yellow, embellished with intricate patterns, and even more, sparkling with dazzling threads, emitting a captivating light. Honestly, someone who had grown up in the mountains had never seen so many colors.
Hanging overhead were a variety of oddly shaped electric lights, a novelty that amazed them. Back in the mountains, they'd gone to bed early every night to conserve oil. Now, seeing these electric lights, they couldn't help but wonder: how would they recharge them when the battery ran out?
Next, they were drawn to the large, soft, and comfortable sofa and coffee table in the living room. Compared to their own earthen kang (kang), this sofa was a true delight. The children jumped and leaped excitedly on the sofa, letting out their joy. The coffee table was clean, ready for sleeping, covered with a mattress. There was a box of paper on top, one sheet of which had been misplaced and was leaking out.
What surprised them most was the kitchen facilities. Wow, it was truly eye-opening! Cooking here no longer required firewood; simply twisting an ignition button instantly ignited the flame. This would save them money on matches!
And that toilet is truly astonishing! A tiny white jar with only a tiny amount of water in it—who would have thought it could be used for relieving oneself? Even more amazingly, after using it, simply press a button on the back, and a flood of water instantly gushes out, flushing away the waste. Where does this water come from? And how does it disappear? We have no idea, and we dare not ask.
Bathing is also done in this toilet. Just turn the handle gently, and boiling hot water will flow out from above your head, without the need for firewood to heat it in a large pot.
For those who had always lived in the mountains, everything they saw was unprecedented. They were filled with gratitude for Fifth Grandfather and Suihe, a gratitude that could no longer be expressed in words. At the same time, they were filled with endless longing and anticipation for their future lives.
After Professor Dong taught them all the usage methods, it was time for lunch. In order to arrive early, the people in the mountains walked out of the mountains with torches before dawn. They must have had nothing to eat. Professor Dong decided not to teach them anymore and took them to eat. They must have been hungry for a long time but were too embarrassed to say it. Don't starve them.
As they lined up for food in the cafeteria, their perceptions were rekindled. It could be said that this time, they were completely reassured about the "military base." There were huge pots of braised beef, cumin lamb skewers, steamed sea bass, braised prawns, blanched okra, garlic broccoli, steamed egg cakes, steamed pumpkin, steamed sweet potatoes, mung bean porridge, eight-treasure porridge, rice, New Year's Eve dinner, and steamed buns.
Everyone lined up in two orderly lines for food. They simply asked for whatever they wanted, free of charge. These workers weren't just putting on a show; this was their daily reality. None of the mountain folks' earlier worries had materialized. They regretted having left some behind, wishing they had all come together.
