In fact, the most ideal method is to use glass, but there are not enough tools and manpower, so we temporarily use window paper instead.
The most troublesome thing is not the lampshade, but the fuel inside the lamp.
Everything costs money. When Lin Youcai heard this, he covered his chest and cried out in pain. Lin Jinyue could only look for any suitable materials to replace it.
These days, we temporarily burned firewood for lighting. The young man on night watch had one more thing to do, which was to add firewood to the fire to prevent it from burning out.
These days, they are building the house in full swing and the approximate scope has been determined.
It's no wonder that Linshu City's planning has everything arranged, even better than a small village.
This way, the space occupied is larger.
But no matter how big it is, Lin Jinyue is not very satisfied. After all, half of the land they occupy is not within the scope of Yunhe Village. They can build houses here as long as the county magistrate agrees.
Her mother had made great contributions in treating the plague and had a letter of introduction from Magistrate Ji, so the magistrate would definitely not make things difficult for them.
It’s just that other people in the village are a little worried.
Lin Youcai was still muttering: "Why do I feel like something is wrong over there? A villain like Chen Dawei will definitely try every possible way to make things difficult for us, right?"
This made Lu Guangyao laugh, and he said with a smile: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? They definitely can't do anything rash. You have won the favor of that master, maybe they have received the news and dare not offend you?"
Lin Youcai stroked his beard and asked, "Am I overthinking?"
Lin Shucheng: "Oh, uncle, you just love to worry about things. If you are really bored, let Xueqing take you to the city to have a look."
Lin Youcai waved his hands hurriedly: "Hey, don't, don't, don't."
He had seen how lavish Lin Jinyue and Lin Xueqing were. They bought seafood from Fatty Chen every day, spending dozens of copper coins each time. That was fine, as they only had to eat the food. But who would have thought that Lin Jinyue would also buy those worthless pearls, a whole box at a time, with dozens of them, and an ounce of silver was gone just like that.
Lin Youcai was really afraid that the two of them would stay in the city.
I haven't prepared anything yet, yet I'm spending money like this.
The third child was the same. The children were clueless, and as an adult, why didn't he know how to dissuade them and just gave them money when they asked for it.

They have been working hard on the construction these days. Lin Jinyue is very satisfied with the village. If there is anything uncomfortable, it is the forest with too many insects and mosquitoes.
Lin Jinyue's legs were covered with mosquito bites.
The mosquitoes in the south are poisonous. After these bags disappear, they turn into tons of red spots, which look scary.
Jiang Yun felt so distressed when she saw this that she prepared some mosquito repellent medicine bags, made them into sachets and hung them on trees, and then smoked them with mugwort at night to make sure the children would not be bitten.
The job of hanging sachets was handed over to Lin Shucheng.
As a result, Lin Shucheng was hanging there when he saw a pile of excrement in the corner. There were long strips of feces and a pool of shapeless feces that were not even buried. He almost vomited because of nausea.
No wonder he said that he could always smell a faint odor of feces when cooking at noon these few days. He found it strange, after all, he didn't see any small animals in the forest.
It turns out it was someone pulling it.
Lin Shucheng immediately shouted: "Whoever is pulling the trigger, come here quickly!"
No one knew what Lin Shucheng was doing, but everyone was still a little surprised after they passed by, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Shucheng couldn't stand it any longer and pointed at the pile of excrement: "Who is pooping here? How can they poop in front of their house? This, this, this..."
As a result, the group of people looked very calm: "What's the problem? If not solved here, where else can it be solved?"
"Uncle, what do you usually do? Where do you get it done?"
Lin Shucheng choked. How could he solve the problem? He would definitely solve it on the farm while his daughter was still young.
Ever since they built a toilet on their farm some time ago, one toilet has been unlocked. Even if the family is suffocating to death, they have to wait for Lin Jinyue to come back.
I don't know what the problem is with this toilet, but whenever they go to the toilet, they just flush it and the dirty things disappear.
It's the kind of disappearance that is completely gone.
Lin Shucheng didn't say anything for a long time.
Lin Jinyue came over immediately after hearing the noise, and when she saw those dirty things, she felt really disgusted.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Lin Jinyue covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and said with some disdain: "Anyway, we can't solve it here. Just think about it, how dirty it is... Hey, let's go to a farther place these few days, and go to Linzi. Remember, everyone else stop what you are doing, and let's build a toilet first."
Misstep, misstep.
During this period, they used the toilet on the farm and forgot about it because they were so busy.
It is not difficult to build a toilet. Just use a few large wooden barrels, one room for men and another for women. Put two large toilet bowls in each room, cover them with wood ash, and clean them regularly.
It's still a bit dirty, but the conditions are like this. We can't make a flush toilet for the time being, so we'll have to make do with a toilet for now.
Although everyone didn't understand, they all nodded and said, "Okay, let's build the toilet first."
Lin Jinyue still sighed: "I still have to take the hygiene class."
It is hard to describe the hygiene awareness of the ancients. They picked their toes and ate the biscuits directly with their hands. Lin Shucheng really couldn't stand it.
It would have been fine if we were not particular when fleeing from famine, after all, the conditions were like that, but now that we have settled down, it is not difficult to get water. There is a small river every few steps, and every household has bought a jar from the village to store water.
He is not even willing to wash his hands frequently. Lin Jinyue really doesn't know what to say.
Lin Jinyue gathered everyone together and said, "Come, I will tell you about the consequences of not paying attention to hygiene."
She started by talking about the bacteria on hands, and said that dirty children can’t help sneezing. In more serious cases, their noses feel uncomfortable, and their rhinitis recurs, making it impossible for them to sleep at night.
This is still the lightest.
Lin Jinyue recalled seeing a news report a while ago about a young man who got a fungal infection in his lungs after smelling stinky socks. He eventually died.
It's a bit outrageous, but it's true what happened.
We have to admit that sometimes people are quite fragile.
Lin Jinyue continued: "Let's not talk about those few examples. Smelling stinky socks can also kill people. Although that is one in a million, but... what does this mean? Not paying attention to hygiene will have an impact on your body."
She also gave the villagers the example of modern hand, foot and mouth disease, and the example of how poor hygiene can breed bacteria, which can harm the body when inhaled, and that even medicine may not be able to save the patient.
Lin Jinyue talked for a long time before, and this group of people were confused, but when they heard the word "take medicine", they all perked up.
"What? You have to take medicine even if you don't wash your hands?"
"Oh, this medicine is so expensive. How can I take it? I can't do that in front of my house. I have to be clean. I can't pick my feet to get things... Oh, this makes me dizzy."
"Third brother, can you write down all the things that we can't do? Let Xueqing read them to us from time to time. Alas, I can't remember them."
Lin Jinyue didn't know what to say for a moment.
She had some heart attack.
So with so many of them, isn't there any one medicine that's as effective as taking it?
But the goal has been achieved.
In the next few days, no matter how busy or tired everyone was, they knew to take a shower before going to bed, and even if they were extremely hungry, they knew to wash their hands before eating.
Those children with runny noses also carried a small handkerchief with them and used it to wipe their noses clean.
All their changes fell into Chen Dawei's eyes.
Chen Dawei and his son Chen Fuxi like to stare at them whenever they have time.
