Shen Qingli covered her lips and coughed lightly, then winked at Zhou Yubai imperceptibly.
"I, ahem, came over to talk to the uncle who's making the kang about how to build a fire wall." Shen Qingli said in a weak voice.
Zhou Yubai hid the smile in his eyes, "Okay, wait until Uncle Zhao Liu finishes his meal, and then you can tell him quickly."
This book was first published on Taiwan Fiction Network β ππππΊπ.πΌππ, providing you with a reading experience with correct chapters and no disordered chapters.
"Yeah!" Shen Qingli nodded obediently.
When Uncle Zhao Liu heard that someone was looking for him and was about to put down his lunch box, he heard Zhou Yubai ask him to get his meal first, and he felt warm in his heart.
The person in front of him said directly, "Sixth Brother, you fight first, and then let Mrs. Zhou tell you quickly so that she can go back and rest."
Everyone discovered when they had dinner yesterday that the host had planned everything out and no one would be left out, so what did it matter if we had dinner a little earlier or later? Besides, the food was so good.
Just to give you convenience.
"That's right. That's right."
"Come here quickly, don't be shy."
Everyone laughed in a good-natured way.
Shen Qingli also started laughing. She was a pretty girl. She stood beside Zhou Yubai and smiled obediently, like a bright flower, dazzlingly beautiful.
Everyone was embarrassed to watch.
Uncle Zhao Liu served his meal with a smile, put the lunch box aside, and walked towards Shen Qingli.
"Mrs. Zhou, how did you build this firewall?"
"Uncle Zhao Liu, this is the picture I drew. See if you can understand it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Shen Qingli handed the drawing she had prepared in advance to Uncle Zhao Liu.
Uncle Zhao took it, his eyes fell on the drawing and soon he couldn't take his eyes off it.
"The design is so ingenious. When the kang is heated, one wall in the room is heated and the whole room is warm," praised Uncle Zhao Liu.
"I also saw it in a book before and remembered it." Shen Qingli smiled, "I'll keep this drawing for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you, your daughter-in-law from the Zhou family." Uncle Zhao happily put away the drawings. He planned to go back and make one for himself.
Zhou Yubai saw Shen Qingli had finished speaking, "I'll take you back to rest."
"Yeah." Shen Qingli cooperated by coughing twice, and then slowly walked back to the courtyard with Zhou Yubai.
"Have you eaten?" Zhou Yubai asked.
"I didn't. I knew if I went there, you would definitely send me back. I secretly steamed some rice for you and the three of us to eat together." Shen Qingli winked playfully.
Gou Wa and Niu Niu also grinned.
The family had a warm lunch.
I had no idea. After Shen Qingli and Zhou Yubai left, everyone asked Uncle Zhao about the firewall while eating.
"Uncle Six, what does a firewall look like? Is it easy to make? Can it really make the house warm?" a young man asked.
"Yes, we need bricks, but we don't need a lot. Let's do it for the educated youth Gu and see the effect." Uncle Zhao replied, then took a big bite of the rice. This was the rice soaked in the braised pork broth. It was so delicious!
He left most of the meat for his wife and children, and ate just a few bites himself to satisfy his hunger.
I felt even happier when I thought about working for Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan, not only eating well but also learning something.
"If not many bricks are used and it still works, we'll try it later. I wonder if brick embryos will work." Someone continued.
"Brick blanks should work, but they may not be as hot as bricks." Uncle Zhao Liu became interested, and everyone started discussing it together.
The wisdom of the working people is limitless. After discussing it, we decided to try out some thin bricks after we were done with the work. If it works, we could save the money on the bricks.
Shen Qingli is not here. If she were here, she would definitely tell everyone, so that's fine.
After lunch, Zhou Yubai went back to help with the work.
In the next two days, everyone was busy working on Gu Qichuan's small yard. Soon, the house was built, the yard wall was built, there were kangs in the east and west rooms, and firewalls were built in both rooms.
Gu Qichuan doesn't cook and doesn't have a kitchen. The stove in the room he lives in is inside, which makes it convenient for him to boil water in the future. The stove in the other room is placed outside.
In this way, the front door is a living room, and the rooms on the left and right sides have window frames made by Zhuzi's father himself. Carpentry work is not that fast, so when everyone went to Zhou Yubai's house to dig the foundation, Zhuzi's father was still busy in Gu Qichuan's yard.
Everyone was busy.
Shen Qingli was still pretending to be sick, but one night she secretly went to see Zhuzi. Zhuzi was now able to walk.
Originally Shen Qingli wanted to go out to work, but Sun Xiuli didn't let her.
"It's only been a few days since you were born. You should at least wait until Widow Zhou is discharged from the hospital, and then slowly recover. We must be sick longer than she is."
Shen Qingli: Your aunt will always be your aunt, this makes a lot of sense.
Zhuzi's mother and Sun Xiuli did not come to help. After lunch, the two of them helped Shen Qingli make bedding.
Shen Qingli bought a lot of cotton. In order to make it easier to work, she asked Zhou Yubai and Gu Qichuan to get some bamboo and make a large platform outside. It was lower than the bed and was just the right size for sitting on and working.
The platform is placed in the backyard near the bamboo shed.
While the three of them were busy there, the people working in front couldn't see them.
However, everyone was still shocked by Zhou Yubai and Shen Qingli's arrogance. Four rooms were no joke.
Moreover, it is only the bedroom, not the kitchen or the living room.
How much money will it cost, how many bricks will it take, and most importantly, they still have to build the courtyard wall, and they donβt know if there are enough bricks.
When everyone was working on their own things, Cui Jingming and Cui Jingqing came again...
