Chapter 31 Settling Down (V)
Lu Xiaoxiao borrowed the old man's wooden cart to move the furniture to the yard. Fortunately, the distance was not far and they arrived quickly.
Lu Xiaoxiao asked Wang Gang and others to help her put two kang cabinets on the kang in the room, and the other two kang cabinets and a kang table on the newly made kang in the main room. The table and stools were placed against the wall right in front of the entrance to the main room, and all other things were placed in the kitchen.
After putting things in place, Wang Gang and his friends helped her heat the kang to dehumidify it so that she could sleep there tomorrow. Wang Gang asked her if she knew how to heat the kang, and after hearing what Wang Gang said, she said no.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn, she had only seen the skill of burning a kang on TV, but had never seen it in real life. After coming here, everyone in Beijing used stoves and slept on wooden beds, so she had no chance to touch a kang, and naturally, the skill of burning a kang was not activated.
When Wang Gang heard that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to heat the kang, he started to teach Lu Xiaoxiao how to do it.
Under Wang Gang's guidance, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly learned how to heat the kang.
In fact, burning a kang is similar to burning a fire. First, use a torch to light the fire, and then add firewood to burn. The only difference is that the size of the fire is more difficult to control, because the kang cannot be burned too hot, otherwise it will explode.
Lu Xiaoxiao saw that it was still early and that heating the kang would require a lot of firewood. It was definitely impossible for her to go up the mountain to chop firewood, so she asked Liu Baozhu where she could get some firewood.
Liu Baozhu said that many trees on the snowy mountain were broken, so we just had to go up the mountain and pull them down.
Lu Xiaoxiao told Wang Gang about the firewood matter. After hearing her words, Wang Gang told her to take good care of the house, and then went up the mountain with Liu Baozhu and others.
Seeing that there was no one here, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the bedroom, closed the doors and windows, and entered the space.
Lu Xiaoxiao went into the cloakroom, took her underwear and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Not taking a shower for a day and a night was too hard for someone who needed to take a shower every day. She just felt something was wrong all over her body.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt relaxed after taking a shower. She took a glass of milk and a piece of fresh milk cake from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa to enjoy them. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart again: It's so cool to have the cheating tool of space.
After eating and drinking, Lu Xiaoxiao left the space. She was afraid that Wang Gang and the others would come back suddenly.
After Lu Xiaoxiao left the space, she saw that the fires in the two kangs were fine, so she didn't add more firewood. She walked around and found that except for a big pot, the hardware facilities of her courtyard were all complete. She could move in directly as long as she bought some daily necessities.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about the quilt, clothes, shoes, enamel pot, and a box that she had brought from home.
Things like food, vegetables, bowls and seasonings need to be purchased. Wang Gang is going back tomorrow, so she can take the ox cart that takes him back to the county to purchase.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked around the yard for a while and then saw Wang Gang and his friends pulling four logs into the yard. After Liu Baozhu put down the logs, he went home to get the tools for chopping firewood without taking a rest. Wang Gang moved a stool and sat in the yard to chat with her.
Wang Gang looked at her and said, "Xiaoxiao, your uncle will be going back to the city tomorrow. I have already told the team leader about your schooling. He will arrange it for you in the spring of next year. He has also arranged your work. You can go to pick pig grass like the other children in the village. One basket of pig grass is worth two work points. Just pick one basket a day. You don't have to rely on this to support yourself. You are still growing now, so you must take good care of yourself so that your body will be healthy."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard a grown man like Wang Gang nagging like an old mother, she didn't feel annoyed at all. She just felt that it was really nice to be cared for in this way.
While chatting, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Baozhu coming back with a hatchet and an axe in his hands.
Wang Gang stepped forward, took the hatchet from Liu Baozhu's hand and chopped firewood with Liu Baozhu. After the firewood was chopped, they put all the firewood in the kitchen, then extinguished the fires on the two kangs, locked the door and took her back to the captain's house.
