"Si Yu, do you feel that this room is too empty? We need to buy some furniture!"
Si Yu looked at Ye Shan with a heart full of satisfaction.
He knew that Shanshan came from a big city and must have higher requirements for her living space, so he tried his best to improve these within his ability.
Now seeing the satisfaction on Ye Shan's face, he felt that everything he had done was worth it.
"I've already asked an uncle in the village to make the furniture. The wood is on the mountain, and I paid people from the same village to help me."
Things that can be solved with money are not really problems, okay?
"Okay! As long as it's convenient for you."
After all, you will be the one staying at home to do housework in the future.
Si Yu looked at Ye Shan with a little trepidation.
"Shanshan, do you think this house is okay?"
"Sure, why not? But I want to replace all the windows with glass. Don't worry, I'll take care of the glass. It will be installed when I get back from repairing the reservoir!"
Based on her current connections, it would be difficult to get the glass back, but isn't there still Zhou Qi?
Being able to own such a large black market and not being caught so easily, isn’t it because of connections?
Early the next morning, Ye Shan put on the clothes of the Ministry of Labor, put on a straw hat, carried a hoe, and followed a group of people in another direction.
This reservoir was built through cooperation among three or four villages.
Once the reservoir is built, the farmland in these three villages will probably not be so prone to water shortage.
Ye Shan had not experienced much when he first arrived, but Si Yu told him that they used to only be able to irrigate the land by carrying water on their shoulders.
Carrying water across such vast fields on your shoulders would basically be a drop in the bucket. You would probably have to wait until you finished carrying a bucket before the water in the fields would have dried up.
But we have to be picky, after all, all our food for the whole year comes from the fields.
Ye Shan went up the mountain.
Chu Lian also came along.
She has the idea of getting married, but she hasn't found a way yet.
The boy was so shy that he would blush and avoid her every time she approached him.
So I have to endure the hardship of this week.
Only after climbing up the mountain did Ye Shan realize that the construction of the reservoir was not just a matter for the three villages, but there were also many militiamen nearby.
These militiamen all have guns in their hands.
Come to think of it, the reservoir is located in the central valley between several mountains.
Only this address can take into account three villages at the same time.
But at the same time, there must be wild animals in these deep mountains and forests. Now it is winter and the wild animals are short of food. You never know when they will come looking for food.
Aren’t these two-legged animals active in the reservoir ready-made food?
Ye Shan had a pistol in her pocket, and for convenience, she also stuffed her officer's certificate into her pocket.
This pocket was sewn for her by Si Yu, on the lining of the cotton-padded jacket.
Suddenly she felt that asking Si Yu to bring her food was not a good idea.
"Captain, are you going back while we're building the reservoir here?"
Ye Shan stopped the captain with a serious expression.
The captain was a little surprised. This girl has caused quite a stir in the village recently. Who wouldn't envy someone who has such a daughter-in-law?
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious. I just want you to tell Si Yu not to bring me food during this period. I can just eat with them!"
That guy actually agreed to come and deliver food?
Although this road has been opened up, it is very rugged and narrow, and it is dangerous even to ride a bicycle.
"You can see how remote this place is. Even the militiamen have to carry guns! If there are any wild animals, it would be really dangerous!"
"It's only seven days' work. Although I can't cook, I can go hunting in the mountains and then have others cook for me. Si Yu is weak, so don't let him waste his energy!"
The captain nodded.
I couldn't help but sigh at my nephew's good luck for meeting such a woman.
I'm really worried about him, afraid that he's in danger...
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to him!"
Ye Shan finally felt relieved, as she was afraid that Si Yu would definitely come over.
They were already calling for everyone to assemble, and people from various villages were standing in a sparse group.
Ye Shan is a tough person herself. She had been to a military camp in ancient times. Seeing the sparse crowd, she frowned tightly.
But it is still understandable. After all, these are just ordinary people and cannot be compared with soldiers.
“…”
After a passionate speech, the enthusiasm of the people below was finally ignited.
Ye Shan was listening quietly on the side.
Then the tasks began to be issued.
The first two villages were the first to issue tasks. Whether it was digging or carrying, it was not an easy job.
But everyone still prefers digging.
After all, carrying a load of soil in this mountain and running to the valley on the other side is quite a test of physical strength.
Ye Shan didn't think so. The weather was getting colder and colder. In a short while, the ground would probably freeze. Frozen soil was not so easy to dig.
Finally it was Ye Shan's turn.
Because she had already obtained a marriage certificate, she was on the side of the villagers and was still some distance away from the educated youth.
Chu Lian was assigned to dig the soil, and she certainly knew that this was relatively easy.
But she was still very unhappy.
Who would want to work here in such a cold day?
When Ye Shan was also assigned here, she refused to do the digging.
How could Ye Shan be so relaxed?
"Comrade Ye Shan has better physical strength than most men. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for him to dig with a group of women like us?"
"We're all here to support rural development, so of course we have to do our part. We can't have the ability but not be willing to put in the effort, right?"
Ye Shan was happy.
This is just to dig your own grave, even your character is starting to lose its footing!
Chu Lian seemed to have thought of it as well, and hurriedly began to make up for it.
"Comrade Ye Shan, I'm doing this for everyone's good. You won't blame me, right?"
It looks as innocent as it can be.
Yun Jiaojiao snorted coldly, "Yeah, you're the kindest person in the world. Since you're so kind, do you have to go pick up the soil too?"
"Let others do these easy jobs. After all, you are so kind!"
Ye Shan didn't quite understand what "mouth replacement" meant, but Yun Jiaojiao had already said everything she wanted to say.
"Yes! I have the physical strength, so I was just about to suggest that I come along and carry the soil!"
"As someone with such high ideological awareness as me, of course I have to do the most difficult things. But I see that Comrade Chu Lian has the same high ideological awareness, so you should probably come with me. After all, you can't be greedy for comfort!"
