Every time Xu Jianguo took away a piece of rammed earth from the space, Fu Bo would put a section of sewer pipe into the groove. The two of them cooperated very well. After laying the pipes in the bathroom, they returned to the yard again and laid the pipes until they reached the vicinity of the dry toilet before stopping.
In order to ensure smooth drainage, the sewer pipe is sloped downward. When it is laid to the dry toilet, the outlet of the pipe is actually lower than the position of the dry toilet pit.
In other words, Xu Jianguo had to deepen the pit so that the drainage outlet would be exposed.
After Xu Jianguo opened the Eye of Time and Space, he stood on the dry toilet and looked into the pit. Then, he suppressed the urge to nausea and collected the rammed earth under the feces into the space.
The soil was not wasted. He spread it all on the farmland and turned it into nutrients for the crops.
In this way, the two of them finally completed the laying of the sewer pipes, but the depth of the pit had changed from the original length, width and height of one and a half meters to the current depth of nearly four meters, and the water outlet was two meters away from the bottom of the pit.
After solving the problem of the pipeline, Xu Jianguo sealed the wooden door of the dry toilet without any hesitation. He was really worried that his family members would accidentally fall into the pit, especially since Wenwen was still so young and had just learned to walk. If something went wrong, he would have nowhere to cry.
Leading Fu Bo back to the basement again, Xu Jianguo took out anti-slip floor tiles, a fully automatic flush toilet, a washbasin and a shower head from the space.
When the two came out of the basement, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Wen Sitian had come here in the middle of the day. She wanted to go to the toilet in the yard, but found that the door could not be opened.
Xu Jianguo had just installed the toilet, so he let Wen Sitian try it out. For this purpose, he took Fu Bo back into the space and did not let him out until Wen Sitian finished peeing.
When the two came out, Wen Sitian was already holding Wenwen to pick up the three girls from school.
Wen Sitian called him to eat at noon but he didn't eat, so Xu Jianguo was already starving. He left Fu Bo and ran into the house. He found a few pieces of peach cakes in the kang cabinet and put them in his mouth. He also drank a large jar of water. Only then did he feel better.
Now the drainage problem in the bathroom has been solved, but the water supply problem has not been solved. However, according to Xu Jianguo’s previous plan, the rest will be left to the local heating and small boiler.
But because there is no running water in the house, Xu Jianguo has to prepare an additional water tank. However, he has not yet decided where to install the water tank. If it is installed underground, he is worried that it will freeze in winter.
If he put it on the ground, it would be a bit conspicuous, so he was a little distressed.
"Forget it, let's study it tonight!" Xu Jianguo muttered softly.
At this time, Fu Bo had already returned to the space. Xiao Hei followed Wen Sitian and her mother to pick up the three little girls. Only he and Er Hei were left in the room.
Xu Jianguo carried Erhei to the table, and the man and the cat stared at each other, waiting for the women to come back.
It was almost half past four when the four aunts and sisters-in-law, plus Wenwen and Xiaohei, returned home. As soon as the three little girls entered the house, they started shouting "Erhei, Erhei" all over the house.
Erhei is also very considerate. Although he is very small, he still tries his best to please his little masters.
Since the whole family has a day off tomorrow and doesn't have to go to work or school, Xu Jianguo decided to have hot pot in the evening, which made everyone very happy. Of course, the little guy is definitely not included, and his dinner will still be milk powder and complementary food.
Ever since Wen Sitian weaned Wenwen, she has returned to her habit of eating spicy food, and it's getting worse. Many times, after Xu Jianguo accompanied her to eat, he would have a few pimples on his forehead the next day.
Daya and Erya are also from Bashu, so they can eat spicy food just like Wen Sitian. This makes it hard for Xu Jianguo and Funiao, brother and sister. Every time they see the three girls eating spicy food, their faces are filled with expressions of being unable to enjoy it.
After dinner, Daya started to do her homework, Erya and Funiu played with Wenwen on the kang, and Wen Sitian sat at the head of the kang, knitting a sweater and watching them.
Xu Jianguo was lying on the table with a pen and paper, writing and drawing. He was thinking about where to put the water tank in his house.
After his planning, he finally decided to place the water tank underground. As for the problem of freezing, he decided to solve it by using the hot water pipes of the earth heating system.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up on time, washed up in the space, and ate the breakfast prepared by Du Yu. Then he and Fu Bo returned home.
He installed two water tanks with a capacity of cubic meters each under the bathroom. The water outlet of one of the water tanks needs to be heated by the boiler before flowing back to the faucet, and the other is used as a cold water outlet to adjust the water temperature. The two water tanks together can hold 20 tons of water, which is enough for their family of six to use for a month. Even if it is not enough, he has reserved a water inlet next to the stove in the main hall, so that they can refill it at any time, which is very convenient.
In order to maintain sufficient water pressure, he also specially purchased a pressure pump and dozens of meters of hot water pipes.
It took another day for Xu Jianguo and Fu Bo to install the earth heating system including the small boiler, and he placed the boiler in a small warehouse in the yard.
He took out a piece of coal from the space, lit it and tried it out. The effect was great, completely realizing the function of a water heater in later generations. Moreover, the whole house was many times warmer than before because of the existence of the heating pipes.
In order to conceal his presence, Xu Jianguo hid the heating pipes in the wall. Now, when the family is in the house, they don’t even need to light the kang, and they don’t feel cold even if they wear autumn clothes and long underwear.
With the end of the weekend, the family's life returned to normal. Those who should go to work go to work, those who should go to school go to school, and those who should take care of the children take care of the children. Only Wenwen, Xiaohei and Erhei are the most comfortable.
Soon, it was Tuesday. Today, Xu Jianguo had to accompany Ma Guoliang and Dong Jixiang to the rural labor reform area, so he told Wen Sitian last night that he might not come back to stay at night.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Jianguo drove to the headquarters to gather, and then three jeeps and two Jiefang trucks left the base and drove towards the labor camp 20 kilometers away.
Due to the road conditions, the vehicles were moving very slowly. It took the convoy more than half an hour to reach the Dawali labor camp, a distance of 20 kilometers.
Through the car window, Xu Jianguo looked at the farm in front of him, his mind full of thoughts.
