Jiang Si was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
But before she could even feel sentimental, work came her way.
That afternoon, two police officers delivered all the materials needed to make the mannequin.
Seeing that the police officers' trunks couldn't even hold everything, Huo Tingzhou knew that the workload this time was definitely not as simple as his wife had said.
So as soon as they left, Huo Tingzhou rolled up his sleeves.
"Honey, is there anything I can do for you?"
He can't help with other things, but he can lend a hand.
Jiang Si really needs his help.
The main problem was that there were very few handy tools available at that time, unlike in later generations where electric drills and other tools could be made to a miniature size.
When Jiang Si saw the police officers carrying the electric drill downstairs, she was completely stunned, no exaggeration.
No wonder the police asked beforehand if the steel bars needed to be cut.
At the time, Jiang Si remarked that this person was actually quite nice.
Looking back now, I'm afraid the cutting tools were too big, and the police officers couldn't fit them all in one car!
With her thoughts returning to normal, Jiang Si picked up her paintbrush and marked the positions on the wooden base.
"Could you drill a few holes here for me?"
Huo Tingzhou nodded.
The electric drill was too loud, so Huo Tingzhou carried his things to the yard.
When he returned after drilling the hole, Jiang Si had already used wire to fix the steel bars into an "I" shape, which was the torso of the model.
Next, the limbs.
Jiang Si was exceptionally focused when she worked, so much so that Huo Tingzhou couldn't bear to disturb her.
Fortunately, their tacit understanding from growing up together means they don't need much verbal communication.
Sometimes, a single glance is enough to understand what the other person means.
It was four hours later when the skeleton was finally built.
Jiang Si was so tired that she didn't want to move at all.
Huo Tingzhou massaged her for more than half an hour as usual.
The filling and shaping were done early the next morning, and it was much easier than yesterday.
Next comes joint reinforcement.
Making a mannequin is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and if it is not properly reinforced, it can only withstand one or two rolls at most.
Therefore, Jiang Si did not choose traditional bolts, but rather shock absorber springs discarded from automobiles.
After doing all this, soak a plaster cast in water and wrap it around the whole body.
It took eight hours for the plaster to dry here.
Now we're just waiting for the silicone from Deputy Commander Lei's side.
It is said that every profession is like a mountain to climb, and Huo Tingzhou couldn't help but feel curious when she mentioned silicone.
"Honey, would it be more effective to wrap it with a layer of silicone on the outside?"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Of course. If we don't use this, the model will fall apart after being dropped two or three times."
Huo Tingzhou didn't say anything more. His wife had been working hard for three days to make this model.
He'd be so frustrated if it fell apart after just two falls.
Fortunately, Deputy Commander Lei was very helpful and delivered the silicone that afternoon.
Jiang Si worked through the night and finally finished making the model by noon the next day.
Looking at the finished product, she felt much more at ease.
Huo Tingzhou contacted the Public Security Bureau immediately.
Half an hour later, the police officers, along with doctors from the military hospital and Aunt Lei and her group, entered the family compound.
The large group of people quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the residential compound.
