"Ali, where do we want to build the shed?" Gu Qichuan asked.
"One in the front yard and one in the back yard. When the time comes, we'll put the bricks in the yard. Xiao Hei, Da Huang and we will guard them. There will definitely be no problem." Shen Qingli said.
"Okay." Gu Qichuan responded, and he and Zhou Yubai placed the bamboo in the front and back yards respectively.
The front yard was originally located near the gate, and there are two walls there that can be used directly to reduce the workload.
The land in the front yard had been dug up and was in a mess. Gu Qichuan filled it up and then he lived there with his dog boy and Niuniu.
The backyard was also very large, and Shen Qingli asked Zhou Yubai to drag the bamboo almost to the edge.
In fact, with Xiao Hei and Da Huang guarding the place, and Zhou Yubai's reputation spread far and wide, no one would be brave enough to risk their life knowing that they were at home.

The front and back yards are separated because, in case the couple has some small activities as a couple, the shed is not soundproof.
Shen Qingli thought about it, her face flushed.
Zhou Yubai looked at Shen Qingli's expression and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. He loved the fact that his wife was not shy about certain things.
After putting the bamboo away, Gu Qichuan walked over to see what other arrangements Shen Qingli had.
"Just sharpen the bamboo and stick it into the ground, leaving space for a door on all four sides. Then use the triangular roof made of bamboo to fix it, put it on and wrap it around, then use big leaves on the top, and you'll have a simple house." Shen Qingli said.
"How do you know so much?" Gu Qichuan joked.
"I'm reading. I used to go to the library often. There were all kinds of books there. Have you forgotten?" Shen Qingli said.
There was a library with a rich collection of books in the abandoned university near their home. Although it had been closed down long ago, Shen Qingli often sneaked in through the window to read.
The person who was with her at that time was Gu Qichuan, so he naturally knew.
Gu Qichuan raised the corners of his lips. Zhou Yubai could never get involved in that past. It belonged only to them.
"Remember." Gu Qichuan only said two words, but the past came to his mind. One time they were almost caught, and he ran with Shen Qingli. Later, she couldn't run anymore, so he carried her on his back...
Ran two blocks.
Memories are beautiful, but the reality of the end of memories is cruel.
"Get to work first. Finish your work here first, and then work on the front." Gu Qichuan changed the subject decisively.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai responded. He and Gu Qichuan both took out their daggers and quickly cut enough bamboo.
Shen Qingli was helping the two of them.
The next step is to insert the bamboo into the ground. The soil in the backyard is relatively soft, so it is not difficult to insert it. After inserting one side, fix it horizontally with another bamboo, and then repeat the same operation on the three sides.
Then comes the triangular top, which only requires a few bamboos and can be prepared quickly.
Gu Qichuan and Zhou Yubai lifted it up and put it on. It was a temporary residence, so it wasn't very high. They just needed to be able to stand up, so they didn't need any tools.
"I'll go get the leaves, you two go deal with the front yard." Shen Qingli said.
"It's very heavy. Take less at a time. We'll come and help you once it's fixed." Zhou Yubai said.
"Yeah." Shen Qingli nodded obediently.
The three of them acted separately.
The front yard uses two sides of the courtyard wall, so we only need to plant bamboo on two sides, which makes the progress twice as fast as the back.
Shen Qingli came back and delivered two large leaves. She went to the backyard specially to deliver them. Although she couldn't hold much in her hands, she had enough space. As long as she didn't let anyone see, she could bring them back quietly and add them quietly to the pile of large leaves.
Shen Qingli was in a good mood.
After Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan finished their work, they saw Shen Qingli already weaving leaves, so they started to help. After three hours in total, two simple sheds were completed.
"We need to get two more beds." Shen Qingli said as she walked around the room twice.
"I'll go get the wood first and make the bed later." Zhou Yubai said.
"I'll go with you." Gu Qichuan followed Zhou Yubai's footsteps.
Shen Qingli was wandering around in the backyard, thinking about the stove she wanted. In fact, it was a good idea to have an open-air kitchen so that she could cook outside when it was hot in the summer.
Thinking about it, Shen Qingli decided to put the stove next to the peach tree. She could watch the peach blossoms bloom or eat peaches while cooking. It was a wonderful thought.
Zhou Yubai had already found the team leader and asked him to help order the wood. Work would start tomorrow and the wood had to be brought back before dark.
The captain asked someone to help him deliver all the wood to the yard.
Shen Qingli saw so many people coming and said to everyone with a smile, "My family will build a house and provide food for everyone."
"Mrs. Yubai, your aunt has nothing to do these days, so I'll let her come over to help you." The captain said with a smile. Look at this family, how nice.
"That's great, thank you uncle and auntie." Shen Qingli responded with a smile.
When the captain and his men saw that the shed was ready and there was nothing they could do to help, they left without staying any longer.
"Yu Bai, set up a stove for me here." Shen Qingli pointed to the side of the peach tree.
"Okay, let's get some bamboo and leaves and build a shed so you can avoid being exposed to the sun when cooking." Zhou Yubai said.
Over there, Gu Qichuan had already selected four relatively sturdy bamboos, sharpened their lower ends, and trimmed them to almost the same height.
Zhou Yubai: Gu Qichuan! I'm not angry, really!
The two men quickly dug a hole and inserted the bamboo into it, covered it with soil to secure it, and then used bamboo to secure it horizontally on all four sides. Then they woven the leaves and fixed them on top.
The shed is ready.
The stove needs mud, and fortunately loess is relatively easy to find.
"Make a simple one today. When the bricks arrive tomorrow, make me a better one. I want a beautiful one." Shen Qingli muttered.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai responded to requests as always.
"When the weather is good in the future, we can cook in the backyard and have a barbecue or something." Shen Qingli squinted her eyes and thought about the future.
Zhou Yubai looked at her smiling face and started smiling too.
Soon the simple stove was built, and two small stoves were added, making it more convenient for the family to eat and cook soup.
The sky gradually darkened. Shen Qingli was cooking while Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan were working in the front and back yards respectively, making beds out of bamboo.
Not long after, Gou Wa came back with Niu Niu.
The two kids brought back a lot of wild vegetables and fruits.
The dining table was made by putting a piece of wood on a stone, which was just high enough. There were no stools, so they had to stand to eat at night. Fortunately, Sun Xiuli brought them bowls and plates.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
Everyone was very tired today, and there was no light, so we couldn't do anything and everyone fell asleep.
The next morning, Shen Qingli got up, cooked some porridge, and then sat on a stone to draw her own stove. She thought she would need to reserve a grill space.
You also need two pots, one large and one small.
Zhou Yubai got up earlier than Shen Qingli, and he went up the mountain right after getting up...
