Lu Hanchuan helped to move some of the heavier things. There were many cabinets in the room that could be used.

"Go to bed early. I'll clean up slowly tomorrow."

There is nothing much at Ye Xiaoxiao's house, and Lu Hanchuan has to go to the army tomorrow.

"It's okay. Don't move the heavy objects in the house. I'll come back and move them." Lu Hanchuan rearranged the furniture and gave instructions again.

"knew."

The bed sheets in the bedroom have been neatly laid out. The light yellow sheets with small floral patterns look particularly warm under the dim light.

In this small space, there is a taste of home.

Although it was the first night, Lu Hanchuan hugged Xiaoxiao and slept well that night.

…

Because of Ye Xiaoxiao's instructions, all the soldiers in the army who were not used to the local climate came to Xiaoxiao for medicine.

They all prepared medicines in advance to avoid feeling uncomfortable on the island, and Ye Xiaoxiao generously gave them medicines.

A few people took the medicine and did not leave. "The leader told us to do some work here."

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly said, "Aren't you still sick? No need."

Wang Qing said it was okay, "It's just a small problem. Captain Lu said there is no toilet in the yard. We have brought all the bricks here. If we hurry, we can fix it today."

When Ye Xiaoxiao heard about this, she didn't want to be polite because it was really urgent.

"Thank you very much."

Seven guys came over, bringing bricks and cement, and building a small toilet was a piece of cake.

Ye Xiaoxiao designed the Ye family's dry toilet, told them how to build the house and how to dig the pit, and then went back to the house.

There was nothing at home now, so Ye Xiaoxiao could use what she brought to entertain guests.

To the east lived Deputy Colonel Li's family, and to the west lived another naval officer's family. They had been to the island more than four times and knew the situation on the island better than Ye Xiaoxiao and his friends.

"What are you repairing here?"

The short-haired girl clung to the wall and had a clear view of the scene in the next yard.

Ye Xiaoxiao walked over and said, "Hello, we are the toilet."

"Our public toilet is so close, there's no need to go to such trouble."

"Well... it's always a bit inconvenient at night."

Ye Xiaoxiao didn't explain much to the other party. Everyone has different living habits. She insisted that the toilet is a very private place.

The short-haired girl smiled knowingly, "You are timid, right? You are actually younger and smarter. I have been here for several years, but I have never thought of building a toilet in my yard. I still think it is a bit troublesome."

Ye Xiaoxiao just laughed it off and asked, "My name is Ye Xiaoxiao, may I ask you...

"My name is Gao Yanfei, my husband is Sun Chao, we are neighbors, you can come to me anytime if you need anything, I am at home during the day."

Gao Yanfei is in his thirties. He speaks cheerfully and generously and is very friendly to new neighbors.

Ye Xiaoxiao thanked the other party for his kindness, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'm going home."

After saying hello, Gao Yanfei turned and left.

Ye Xiaoxiao stood by the wall, looking at the beautifully grown vegetables in the other person's yard, feeling very envious.

If you start planting them now, they should grow quickly.

As soon as the morning came, a small toilet in the yard was repaired, the door was fixed, and the walls were built tightly.

Ye Xiaoxiao took some and shared it with the helpers.

"Don't complain if there's nothing prepared at home."

We ordered time-honored Beijing restaurants, such as peach cakes, red bean paste cakes, green bean cakes, and jujube paste cakes... It was a bumpy ride, and the food didn't look very good.

"This……"

Little warrior, rub your hands, I'm a little embarrassed.

They had already troubled the team leader's wife by coming here to get medicine, and now the family was giving them some, which made them feel like they were taking advantage of the team leader.

"You guys must be hungry after working for so long. Don't be polite."

Ye Xiaoxiao stuffed some food into their mouths and said, "You guys eat first. I'll go boil some water to make tea for you."

The water in the water tank at home was carried by Lu Hanchuan in the morning. Ye Xiaoxiao also went to the water point to take a look. Others used shoulder poles to carry water, and their family did not have such a thing.

Besides, Xiaoxiao has never used a shoulder pole before, so she probably can't take on the task of carrying water.

"I'll go and help boil some water."

A little warrior with a crew cut and wearing a green military uniform stuffed some food into his mouth and spoke enthusiastically.

It was no use for Ye Xiaoxiao to refuse. After these people finished their tea and meals, they took the initiative to help Ye Xiaoxiao tidy up the yard and filled the water tank with water before leaving.

After Wang left, Ye Xiaoxiao tidied up the other rooms in the house.

There were three rooms. She and Lu Hanchuan lived in one, leaving one as a second bedroom, and the remaining smaller room was converted into a study.

Ye Xiaoxiao wiped all the furniture in the room and then put the medical books she brought in place. The room was still missing a stool, and the desk was already there, but it had not been placed in the room and would have to be moved in at night.

I don't know who lived here before, but the furniture in the house is quite complete.

The slightly mottled white walls and wooden doors and windows also reveal traces of time, and the incandescent light bulbs above emit a dim light.

The curtains were light blue and a little pale from washing, but they were very clean, and must have been washed in advance.

The environment here is definitely not comparable to that of the homes in Beijing, but it is better than many homes.

After tidying up the study, Ye Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to take out the hot kettle and glasses she brought and put them away.

Although there is no condition to cook yet, I have to prepare water for drinking and tea.

Ye Xiaoxiao wrote down all the things that were missing and would slowly add them later.

There is a toilet now, but there is currently a lack of a bathroom here.

This is more difficult because there is no running water in the island, and it is certainly impossible to install a water heater at home.

If you want to take a bath, you can use a bathtub.

If you want to take a shower, you can use this kind of simple shower head that can be used to release water.

You have to boil water and pour it yourself.

Ye Xiaoxiao lay on the table in a slightly withdrawn manner. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it seems too difficult now.

But Ye Xiaoxiao was not too depressed. She had even been to the water-scarce Northwest, so why would she be afraid that things wouldn't work here?

…

Today I have to go to the cafeteria to get my own food, so Ye Xiaoxiao went next door to find Kong Xuelan to get food together.

She pushed open the gate and went in. She called a few times, but didn't hear Kong Xuelan's voice. She was worried that Kong Xuelan might be sick, so she went in directly.

When Ye Xiaoxiao arrived at Kong Xuelan's house, she was shocked.

Because their luggage was piled on the floor, it looked messy and not tidied up at all.

"Kong Xuelan? Mrs. Li?"

Ye Xiaoxiao walked into the room while shouting, and then saw Kong Xuelan lying on the bed resting.

"Mrs. Li? Are you okay?"

Ye Xiaoxiao first took Kong Xuelan's pulse and found that although her pulse was weak, there was no big problem.

The opponent was already short of energy and blood, and must have collapsed from exhaustion after all the hard work.

"I'm fine, I just don't seem to be in the right mood. I haven't cleaned up the house yet. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Kong Xuelan was very organized in the past, but now she really has no strength, so she didn't move to clean up.

"Do you want to eat? I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you a meal."

Kong Xuelan shook her head. "I'll just wait for our old man Li to come back. I won't bother you anymore."

Ye Xiaoxiao advised: "Really? You need to eat something, otherwise it will be more difficult to recover. You also have hypoglycemia, which is very dangerous."

Kong Xuelan nodded firmly: "Really, Lao Li said he would be back early today."

After hearing what the other party said, Ye Xiaoxiao decided to leave: "Okay, then you should have a good rest."

Ye Xiaoxiao went to the cafeteria to get her meal. There were many people in the cafeteria, so she didn't plan to eat there.
