Chapter 79 Going to the County Again
"Look, this is the house and greenhouse I envisioned."
Tan Chen took the two pieces of paper and sat at the table.
He originally thought Shang Ruoting was just casually drawing for fun, but after seeing it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"Did you come up with these on your own?"
Shang Ruoting was obviously a little guilty when she was asked this question, but she still admitted it with a brave face: "I figured it out based on my feeling. What's wrong with that?"
Tan Chen gave her an affirmative answer: "Very good."
"Then can we build the house like this?" Shang Ruoting's eyes were full of anticipation when she spoke.
Tan Chen picked up the pencil on the table and made a few simple sketches on the structural diagram of the house.
"I think this will be better."
Shang Ruoting looked carefully at the position that Tan Chen had just modified. The original kitchen position was expanded a little outward, so that the bedroom was more spacious.
In addition, there is a connection design between the living room and the bedroom, which makes it look a bit like a suite overall, making it much more convenient to enter and exit.
"I didn't expect that with just a few simple modifications you could make the house so perfect."
Tan Chen put the house structural diagram aside and picked up the greenhouse blueprint. "Your drawing is quite good, but I'm not sure how large the area should be. For example, the distance between the steel bars, the exact height and width of the brick walls."
When he asked this, Shang Ruoting was stunned. She was only thinking about designing the appearance and actually forgot such an important thing.
She just noticed that when Tan Chen was looking at the blueprints, besides a little interest, there was also suspicion towards her in his eyes.
In order to cover up, Shang Ruoting pretended not to understand.
"The brick wall should be at least one person tall!"
"As for the distance between the steel bars..." she said, taking steps across the room. "One, two, three...it's about this distance."
Tan Chen smiled as he watched her pretending, but did not expose her and marked a few numbers on the drawing.
"Okay, I understand. I'll build you a greenhouse like this when the time comes."
Shang Ruoting breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tan Chen no longer asked questions, knowing that she had passed the test.
After studying the structural diagram, the two went out together to help Old Lady Shang prepare dinner.
While eating, Tan Chen reminded: "If I remember correctly, grandma's injury will be seven days old tomorrow, and the stitches can be removed."
Old Mrs. Shang knew that the two had been busy these days and didn't want to waste their time because of her: "I'll go to the village clinic to remove the stitches tomorrow, you guys go about your business."
Shang Ruoting couldn't trust the village clinic: "Grandma, I'll get up early tomorrow and clean the chicken coop, then we'll go to the county town. It won't delay anything."
Tan Chen also chimed in: "Yes, grandma, I'll help Ruoting clean the chicken coop tomorrow. It'll be quick."
Seeing that the two were determined, Mrs. Shang no longer objected.
People don’t have any entertainment activities at this time. Most of them go to bed after dinner when it gets dark.
Shang Ruoting followed the same method as yesterday, and after washing up with Tan Chen in their respective territories, they once again fell into the most embarrassing period.
Tan Chen still lay on the inside of the bed, and when Shang Ruoting got on the bed, he was once again embraced by her.
With yesterday's experience, Shang Ruoting no longer resisted and let Tan Chen hug her like this. Anyway, it was quite warm...
The next day, the two got up before dawn and went to clean the chicken coop together.
With Tan Chen's help, the cleaning speed was more than doubled. Before seven in the morning, the two of them had finished cleaning and went home together.
After breakfast, Tan Chen borrowed a tractor from the team and took Shang Ruoting and Old Lady Shang to the county town.
Shang Ruoting had made plans on the way. Since she was going out with great difficulty, she had to find some opportunity to take out some space fruits.
So, while Mrs. Shang was sitting outside the treatment room waiting in line, she left Tan Chen to accompany the old lady and took the opportunity to run out of the hospital.
After exiting the hospital gate, there was a crowd of people on the street diagonally opposite, and from time to time, you could hear the sounds of hawkers.
Shang Ruoting knew that this should be the farmers' market, which was held on the first and last day of every month and not at other times.
During this period, traders were not allowed to exist openly. Those who sold things in the market were farmers from several nearby towns, and the things they sold were all their own products.
Shang Ruoting was very curious about this special market, so she walked over and planned to see the excitement.
This look made her a little disappointed.
In addition to some grain, there are also some poultry and eggs.
In addition, there are handmade cloth shoes, straw shoes, woven bamboo baskets, gourd ladles for scooping water, loofahs for washing pots...
However, after walking around, she still bought three pairs of handmade cloth shoes.
The soles of Old Lady Shang's shoes were so worn out that her feet were almost exposed. Although her own shoes were fine, she only had this pair on her feet. If they got dirty or wet, she wouldn't even have a spare pair.
Tan Chen was wearing the rubber shoes she wore in the army. Her feet would definitely get hot after a while, so she strolled around the market and bought three pairs of shoes.
