After everyone helped to move the things, Xu Manman returned to the room and took out a bag of fruit candies from her luggage. She gave a few to each of the educated youth, and also to the villagers who helped to make the kang.
Liu Hua pulled Xu Manman and said, "How much candy did you give out? And the extra 50 cents you gave today, let's share it with you."
Zhan Tianqi beside them was also looking at them.
"Just treat me to a good meal later." Xu Manman replied with a smile.
Liu Hua nodded, but didn't say that he had to pay it back. Everyone needed that little money, so there was no need to be so petty.
"Okay, let's go to the state-owned restaurant together later, I'll treat you." Zhan Tianqi also said with a smile.
The old educated youth looked at this side with smiles on their faces, and no one else could know what they were thinking.
After putting the furniture in place, it was already late, so Xu Manman didn't bother to continue heating the kang, and went to bed after washing up.
——
Today's balance: 890 yuan, 27 cents, remaining check-in points: 4 points
——
The next day, 15 great unity photos were signed in the morning.
Well, it’s just 150 yuan again, nothing else.
Although she worked during the day, Xu Manman didn't sleep at noon. She took the opportunity to clean up her room.
When we moved in last night, the large furniture had already been put in place, but because the kang was not dry yet, nothing was placed on it for the time being.
Xu Manman took a bamboo pole and stuck it in the groove between the fire wall and the opposite wall. This was the bamboo pole that she had asked Liu Dawei to save when she renovated the house. She hung the homespun cloth she had bought on it.
This effectively separated the inner and outer rooms, so the cooking fumes from the outer stove wouldn't affect the interior. Fortunately, there were windows in the front and back. The lighting was good, but the windows were covered with newspaper, so if they were closed, it wouldn't be bright at all.
Xu Manman took a few more nails and nailed them on the upper frame of the window, then took two pieces of floral cloth and hung them up, and they became curtains.
With everything done, the room's privacy protection is basically in place. A few remaining nails were hammered into the outer wall, so the bamboo baskets can be hung directly on the wall.
Taking out some old newspapers, Xu Manman first pasted them on the three walls of the kang to prevent the dust from falling off.
Fortunately, it was their group's turn to cook today, and Xu Manman even asked Yue Feng to help make some rice porridge. She shared some with Zhan Tianqi and Liu Hua, who were also cleaning the house.
The first whistle for the afternoon work session sounded, and Xu Manman prepared to wash her hands and return to the fields.
At this time, Liu Hua walked in and said, "Wow, your house is so well decorated, and these curtains, no wonder you bought so much cloth."
"I just think it's not good to let people see where I sleep when I open the door. I put up a curtain to separate it. I feel safe."
Liu Hua nodded and said, "You're right. I also bought some homespun cloth and will hang it up when I get back this afternoon."
The two of them walked out of the room and Xu Manman locked the door.
After finishing the job, I saw that there was also a lock on Liu Hua's side. It turned out that everyone was prepared.
Thinking about this, Xu Manman said to Liu Hua, "After we finish cleaning our rooms in the next two days, and the kang in Zhang Yuan's room is also ready, we have to go to the back mountain to collect some firewood."
Liu Hua was puzzled as to why they suddenly talked about collecting firewood.
Xu Manman continued, "The firewood in the utility room is from the kitchen. Now we are all cooking together, but it's not good to take advantage of others. This stuff is everywhere in the mountains, but it was also dragged back from the mountains with great effort.
Besides, Zhang Yuan and his team will need it to dry the house in a few days."
Liu Hua understood. "Then I'll tell Zhan Tianqi and the others when the time comes." She worked very close to Zhan Tianqi.
"Besides, the winters are long here in the north, so it's always a good idea to store some firewood."
Liu Hua nodded, and then they both went back to work.
