The two men smiled and nodded. Ma Guoliang waved at him to sit down and continued, "There's one more thing. Yesterday we received a call from the Davari Labor Camp. They said they'll be sending a large number of new prisoners soon, but because they're short on manpower, they hope our base can send some people over to help. Deputy Commander Dong and I discussed it and we think we should go over and take a look. So, you can come with us and take a look around so we can get an idea of the situation over there."
"Okay, no problem. Are you sure when we're leaving?"
"We agreed to go there on Tuesday and maybe stay overnight. When we get back from the farm, we'll get you sworn in!"
"OK."
After the three of them chatted for a while, Xu Jianguo left the headquarters.
Since all the test samples for this project have been manufactured, Ma Guoliang gave him a special day off so that he could go back and have a good rest.
Xu Jianguo was very happy. This meant that he could have two days off in a row, which gave him more time to work at home.
After getting in the car, Xu Jianguo did not start it in a hurry. Instead, he communicated with Fu Bo and Du Yu through his mind, asking them to prepare some luggage and wait for him at the gate of the base.
He needed to pick them up in advance so that when he returned home to work, no one would say anything even if someone saw them.
After notifying Fu Bo and Du Yu, Xu Jianguo drove towards the gate of the base.
When the sentry on duty saw Xu Jianguo's car, he wanted to move the fence to let him drive out, but found that his car was parked at the gate.
After Xu Jianguo got out of the car, he walked towards the gate.
"Colonel Xu, is there something wrong?" asked a sentry on duty.
"Well, my wife's two relatives will be coming from their hometown soon, and I will pick them up." Xu Jianguo said with a smile.
"Oh, okay, call me if you need any help!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Xu Jianguo stood at the gate of the base and lit a cigarette. Although he seemed to be smoking, he was actually communicating with Fu Bo. At this time, Fu Bo and Du Yu had left the space and appeared a kilometer away from the base gate.
After waiting for a while, two figures appeared at the corner of the road in front of the base. They were Fu Bo and Du Yu.
At this time, two people were walking towards the base carrying large and small bags. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo hurriedly went up to them and helped them with their luggage.
Then Xu Jianguo accompanied the two of them to register at the gate duty room, and the three of them drove back home.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Du Yu quickly returned to the space, leaving only Fu Bo to help Xu Jianguo.
At this time, Wen Sitian heard the noise and walked out of the inner room holding Wenwen, followed closely by Xiaohei, and behind Xiaohei was the little black cat that he picked up.
"Hey, why are you two back?" Wen Sitian asked.
"The project is over, and the commander specially approved me for a day off, so I came back." Xu Jianguo said, and then recounted the story of his acting with the two men.
Wen Sitian also knew Xu Jianguo's intention, so she didn't say much, but just nodded to show that she understood.
"By the way, Jianguo, what's going on with this little black cat? I wanted to ask you last night, but I forgot!" Wen Sitian asked.
"Don't talk about you, I almost forgot. This little guy was picked up by Xiao Hei from outside. When he first came back, he couldn't even stand up. I thought it was a life after all, and I couldn't just watch it die, so I kept it." Xu Jianguo said, and after he finished speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Xiao Hei.
"That's what I thought. I was scared when I got up and went to the main room yesterday morning. But the three girls liked it very much. They even gave this little black cat a name!" Wen Sitian said.
"Oh? What's your name?"
"They said it was Erhei!"
When Xu Jianguo heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he put on a constipated expression and said, "Uh... very good, very appropriate!"
While they were talking, the little black cat had already run to Xu Jianguo's feet and started meowing, as if greeting him.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo leaned over and touched its little head, a smile on his face as he said, "Erhei, this is your home from now on. You can take care of all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in our house!"
"Meow!" The little black cat called out and licked the back of Xu Jianguo's hand.
Ignoring the little black cat, Xu Jianguo said something to Wen Sitian, then took out the things he had prepared earlier from the space, and then he and Fu Bo started working in the yard.
In the next two days, the two of them have two main tasks. The first is to use the underground space of the vegetable cellar to transform it into a bathroom with a shower, and to lay the sewer pipes, with the drain outlet placed in the dry toilet in the corner of the yard.
The second thing was to install the earth heating parts prepared by Xu Jianguo in advance to prepare for the coming winter.
They did it right away. They came to the main room and went down to the vegetable cellar via the ladder.
The vegetable cellar is not big, only five or six square meters, which may not be enough to be used as a bathroom, but this is not a problem for Xu Jianguo.
He first activated the Eye of Time and Space, and suddenly the brick walls around the vegetable cellar became transparent. After observing for a while, Xu Jianguo decided to dig half a meter deeper and then extend it vertically to avoid the position of the wall above his head.
After closing the Eye of Time and Space, Xu Jianguo moved his mind, and the layer under his feet was immediately taken into the space. The originally oppressive lifting space became open.
After solving the height problem, Xu Jianguo began to collect rammed earth and wall bricks in the longitudinal space. In just a short while, he expanded the original five or six square meters to more than ten square meters.
After securing the space, Xu Jianguo began to reinforce the underground space to avoid safety issues.
He first bought a few I-beams and steel plates through the system mall, and asked Fu Bo to place the steel plates on the roof. Then he placed the I-beams tightly under the steel plates and inserted the two ends horizontally into the rammed earth to form horizontal keel supports.
Then several support columns were erected under several horizontal I-beams, and then bricks and quick-drying cement were bought to build the walls.
More than two hours had passed by the time he and Fu Bo had built the wall with bricks.
Xu Jianguo looked at the layout in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. The toilet, washbasin and shower room were all there, and they did not interfere with each other, achieving a separation of dry and wet areas.
The two men did not stop. After mixing the quick-drying cement, they began to apply it. It took them nearly an hour to finish.
After the structure and walls were completed, Xu Jianguo activated the Eye of Time and Space again. After finding the right direction, he began to lay the sewer pipes.
