The sun shone fiercely on the earth, and the surrounding plants seemed to have lost their vitality. The air was also scorched and distorted by the scorching sun. The earth seemed like a steamer, stuffy and hot.
Even standing in the shade, everyone was still feeling very hot.
"It's almost the end of October, why is it still so hot?"
Luo Dahai frowned, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and rinsed himself with cold water from a basin. He said, "This house will be finished in a week, but do you really not want me to fix the tiles on the wall? ... These ordinary cement walls look so gray. Those houses in the countryside are much prettier than yours!"
"No need." Qin Suyun also wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled, declining, "I live in the countryside anyway, so there's no need to be so particular. Besides, I live alone now, so why would I want to make it so fancy? I'm not worried about thieves stealing, I'm worried about thieves thinking about it. My house already has a glass greenhouse compared to other houses, so it's very conspicuous. If I make it so fancy, it'll be unsafe later."
"That's true. Your own safety is the most important. When you get married in the future, you can just redecorate the house. It won't cost much." Luo Dahai nodded in agreement after hearing Qin Suyun's words. He hadn't thought of this before.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed true. A woman living in such an unfamiliar environment should be careful.
For nearly four months, except for the first one or two months when the villagers were building the road, she had little to do. In the following two months, as the farmyard gradually took shape, Qin Suyun would visit every two or three days to offer suggestions and check on the progress.
"Please help me build this wall to 3.5 meters high, cover it with broken glass shards, and put up barbed wire." Qin Suyun saw that most of the wall had been built, pointed to its height and said that now only this wall was left unfinished.
"Don't worry about this, I will make sure it's done for you later! But your yard looks like a prison to me. If it weren't for the high floor and large land, there wouldn't be much sunlight in the middle of the yard!" Luo Dahai has a large construction team. There are not many people assigned here to build a house for Qin Suyun, but all of them are skilled workers. In addition, Qin Suyun pays generously, and the two parties are good friends. This person is even the team led by Luo Dahai himself.
Sometimes, even if Luo Dahai himself is not there, he will send someone to help supervise.
As a standard rural house, Qin Suyun not only had people build a sturdy doghouse, but also pig pens, cow sheds and other sheds for livestock.
These things were also built by Luo Dahai in the backyard using reinforced concrete according to Qin Suyun's standards. Although they don't look very gray on the outside and there is no white wall plastering, they are solid and safe to use, and they can also avoid the problem of collapse after an earthquake in the future.
Qin Suyun has been busy lately, moving her household registration out of the house and selling it, taking the dog for a walk, and trying to find other supplies. She is extremely busy.
In addition, the weather has been extremely hot recently, and it is about to reach November with no sign of letting up. If Qin Suyun did not have the magical jade token as a backup, she would have fallen ill long ago.
Thinking of this, Qin Suyun frowned tightly.
At this time of year in previous years, the highest temperature in Yunhai City had already been below 25 degrees Celsius. If it was windy and rainy one day, the temperature might even be only 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. But now the temperature is two degrees higher than the hottest period in the past.
Qin Suyun looked to the side and saw the air distorted by the heat wave, the trees that were lifeless due to the rustling sound, and Luo Dahai sweating profusely with his cheeks flushed by the sun. She felt vaguely uneasy in her heart.
According to the time of the dream, the natural disaster should occur from March or April next year.
But now it seems that the natural disaster may have already begun, but no one has noticed it yet. Qin Suyun is a little upset. She doesn't know whether this is because of the premature outbreak caused by her butterfly, or because she was pregnant at home at the time and didn't think too much about it, so she didn't remember it clearly?
But no matter which one it was, it made Qin Suyun feel that she should move here earlier. By the way, she reminded Luo Dahai beside her that she didn't have many good friends in Yunhai City, and Luo Dahai was one of them. The other friends either had no contact because their parents died early, or their relationship had become distant for various reasons. Thinking of those neighbors and friends in the dream who seemed to have a good relationship with her on weekdays, and saw the disgust on their faces when she came to them for help while pregnant, she felt that she was a failure as a person. But this also made her lose the desire to remind them again.
Pulling herself together, Qin Suyun pretended to say casually, "It doesn't matter if there's no sun. As long as I can keep out the wind and snow in winter, that's all I need. You know I'm quite afraid of the cold. I heard this winter is particularly cold. Lao Luo, do you want to buy a few tons of charcoal to burn at home? I ordered some a while ago. Why don't you give me their phone number?"
Luo Dahai glanced at Qin Suyun and laughed. "Are you stupid, girl? Who would buy charcoal to keep warm at home these days, except for those living in the countryside? Although we don't have heating like in the north, everyone has electric stoves and air conditioners. What's the point of buying charcoal? It smells smoky and is inconvenient! Only a place like yours would need charcoal. Besides, where did you hear that this winter is so cold? Look at you, it's obviously very hot now! You didn't ask us to build a kang just because you were afraid of the cold, did you?"
Speaking of which, when Qin Suyun took out the design drawings, Luo Dahai was shocked on the spot.
Qin Suyun not only required the house to be earthquake-resistant and strong, but also required that when the house was built, it should be built according to the standards of building earthen houses in the Northeast, with an insulation layer and a kang!
Yunhai City is a typical southern city, and this was the first time Luo Dahai had received such a request in all his years. There were even more miscellaneous and confusing changes.
According to Luo Dahai, building a house is so troublesome and totally unnecessary.
It's like building a house in a coastal area and thinking about storing water every day when there will be a drought at home. However, it would be unpleasant to say too much, and seeing Qin Suyun's unhesitating payment, Luo Dahai didn't say anything more.
These days, money can’t buy you love, and even friends don’t like to say too much.
"You're right, that's what I think." Qin Suyun sighed. She didn't know how to persuade Luo Dahai. She was not good at talking or lying. After holding it in for a long time, Qin Suyun decided to say something. She looked at Luo Dahai and said, "You know women always have a sixth sense. Charcoal and coal are not expensive anyway. It's not a big deal if you just buy some. Isn't there a saying that it's better to believe it than not to believe it? In case there is a power outage one day, or when you have a barbecue or something, it can be used."
"Okay, I'll buy some later." Luo Dahai smiled this time, but he didn't really take Qin Suyun's words to heart.
Seeing Luo Dahai like this, Qin Suyun could only sigh, hoping that he would really have some reserves by then. However, with Luo Dahai's ability and connections, even if things got serious in Yunhai City, he should still be able to get a lot of things back.
Thinking of this, Qin Suyun said no more.
