Ling Ran came over dressed neatly. Zhou Xiang looked up and said, "It's just right. You just need to train the dog, and you can water these seedlings with well water to see if they grow faster."
"Okay! I'll remember it."
After saying this, he pulled the little girl out of the fence and took out all the gold bricks from the ring.
Looking at the pile of gold bricks—well, it was indeed a pile, hundreds of them at least—they were about a quarter the size of ordinary red bricks and thinner as well. Zhou was surprised. "So many?"
Ling Ran nodded, "Yes! Six hundred yuan."
Zhou Xiang couldn't understand. "What was this family's ancestors thinking? They kept so many things but didn't use them, and in the end, they just threw them away as junk?"
Ling Ran picked up a gold brick and pointed at the word "Wei" on it, "Look!"
"Wei family?"
"They should be. I discovered this when I collected them. These are either the last resort left by the Wei family, or they were taken by their ancestors who took advantage of the situation to rob. Neither of them can be seen in public."
Zhou Xiang chuckled, "The Wei family is quite interesting. They print words on every gold brick, so they don't have to worry about theft or robbery. Anyone who gets it secretly wouldn't dare spend it, which is really frustrating."
Ling Ran also took out the bricks from the ring. "I brought these in in a hurry. I don't know if the ground in the space can absorb them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bricks disappeared, and the place where the bricks disappeared did not change at all.
Zhou Xiang stroked his chin and asked, "Could it be that the soil in the space likes to eat soil?"
Ling Ran disagreed. "These adobe bricks are made of soil from a long time ago. The soil now is full of fertilizers, pesticides, and plastic bags. It's strange that it would be willing to eat them."
"Yeah! That makes sense. You should try gathering all those adobe bricks. This seedling is growing too slowly. Try feeding it soil. No, try feeding its roots soil."
"You! You're always imagining things. The way the seedlings grow is probably the same as outside, just like you and me, we all calculate the time according to the outside world."
"But when will these seedlings grow? Why does spatial acceleration treat them the same as us?"
Ling Ran gave her his own guess: "Maybe it's not an ordinary thing. Only ordinary things can accelerate."
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes! You are not ordinary either."
Ling Ran pinched the tip of her nose, "Aren't you the same?"
"Well! I am not an ordinary human being."
He fetched a few basins of water to rinse the gold bricks, and then used a torn sheet to wipe them. Then he stacked the gold bricks in a corner of the warehouse. Zhou Xiang was filled with resentment, "Is it unusable again?"
Ling Ran smiled and said, "Are you short of money?"
Zhou Xiang shook his head, "I'm not short of gold bricks, but I can only look at them. It's frustrating!"
"Then buy some equipment and do the treatment."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "It's too much trouble. I won't do it. Oh! Or, you can give it to the captain! We might not dare to spend it, but he will definitely dare to spend it, right?"
"Are you willing to do that?"
"Be willing to give up! Money is just a thing outside of your body!"
"Then, on behalf of all the members of the team, I would like to thank you."
"Yeah! Remember to give me credit in front of the captain. A little bit of merit adds up to a lot, right?"
"right!"
Zhou Xiang called back all the gold bricks and said, "Put them away!"
After Ling Ran put away the gold bricks, the two of them left the space. Ling Ran scrubbed the dirty clothes to remove the mud and water, and carried them downstairs again.
Uncle Chen and his son finished their bath and were also scrubbing their clothes.
Ling Ran told them to rub it and then throw it into the washing machine with his clothes.
The father and son looked at their tattered clothes and waved their hands, "We can just rub them with our hands."
Ling Ran didn't force it and turned on the washing machine to wash his clothes.
After washing the clothes, the father and son didn't know where to hang them. Ling Ran pointed at the basin and said, "Put them in that basin. When I finish washing my clothes, we can spin them together. It will dry faster."
This time, the father and son did not refuse and sat on the chairs beside the dining table, feeling a little restrained.
Ling Ran sat across from them. "Rest up tonight. Tomorrow, when the rain has subsided, go home and pack some clothes and come back to work with me. There's a place to stay in the front yard. You don't even need to bring any bedding. We'll prepare it. Let your family know, too, so they can rest assured."
Uncle Chen nodded, "Okay!"
After comforting the father and son, Ling Ran went to ask what to do with the bedding?
"While the shopkeepers are still busy, go buy some cloth and we'll continue. Master Zheng should also start making new quilt covers. They borrowed all the cloth from Lu Jin and the others."
"Well, make some extra this time. They don't have any replacements."
"Okay! We'll make 18 sets this time. Go buy some cloth quickly so we can finish them before dinner. Tell Xia Fei to buy some buckets and washbasins to complete the two rooms."
"Okay! I'll go right away."
Ling Ran came back empty-handed, and took Zhou Xiang with him to the north building. He sneaked into Zhou's father and mother's apartment and continued to steal the sewing machine into the space.
After sewing the quilt cover, Ling Ran asked the little girl to turn out the bedding.
After pulling off the quilt cover, the two of them put the quilt cover and pillowcases on it, and Ling Ran put the things into the ring.
The two men appeared in the study again, carrying the sewing machine, and sneaked downstairs.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they walked into the corridor on the second floor. They smiled at each other and went downstairs to the dining room.
Master Zheng had already arrived and was chatting with Mr. Xiao. When he saw Zhou Xiang, he confirmed the restoration plan for the adobe house with her.
Zhou Xiang completely agreed with Ling Ran's opinion and wanted to keep the exterior wall original.
Master Zheng contacted his apprentice in Beijing and asked him to buy materials and start work.
After hanging up the phone, Master Zheng said, "You should save some of the materials from the two houses on the west side that you plan to demolish. For example, the tiles are the same as the ones here. They can be used to replace the broken ones here later. Also, keep the beams and purlins. I'll need some of them when I renovate that house, so they can be used for future repairs or replacements."
"Okay! You keep an eye on it. Keep everything you can, even adobe bricks. If they're usable, keep them."
"Okay! As long as you can keep it well, I will keep everything I can as repair materials in the future."
"Don't worry! I'll definitely take care of it."
There is nothing in my ring except two small wooden boxes containing jade pendants, so it is okay to keep these materials.
Since the spatial land eats adobe, these materials cannot be placed in the space, so Ling Ran was asked to get those unformed adobes for it to eat.
At the dinner table, Uncle Chen and his son were too reserved. Father Zhou enthusiastically served them food and said, "Come on, come on, eat. When you work with Ling Ran in the future, you can't be so reserved. You need to relax a little."
"Yes, thank you, thank you."
The father and son were a little overwhelmed by Mr. Zhou's enthusiasm, especially Xiao Chen, who almost buried his head in the bowl.
Father Zhou didn't continue, saying that as time went by and they got used to it, it would be fine.
After finishing his meal, Ling Ran ran to the front yard. When he came back, he asked Lu Jin to give the westernmost key to Chen and his son.
He also told Master Zheng, "The bedding in your room was shared by those guys. I just put new bedding with Xia Fei. He will replace it for you when you go back."
Master Zheng waved his hand, "Oh! No need to change it, it's quite clean."
"I'm ready, just change it! Are we going to use new ones for those boys?"
Master Zheng nodded in agreement.
