Don't even think about cement or anything like that. It's not unavailable these days, but it's quite rare and a bit expensive.
It’s just a kitchen. Ruan Mengmeng doesn’t know how long she can live in the Youth League Home, so she doesn’t plan to make it too nice.
In fact, there is really no need for this, because deep down, she is more inclined to move out.
She knew very well that where there were many people, there would be many disputes. When that happened, there would be endless troubles and it would be impossible to live together.
But I have just arrived and don’t know much about this place yet. Many things need to be done step by step, and you can’t just do whatever you want.
She brought her brother to the countryside to have some free time, not to deal with troubles every day...
Here, Zhang Sinian used the excavated loess and wheat straw, mixing them together to increase the stickiness and firmness.
Then, they started to build a stove inside the shed, while Tian Kai handed bricks to them.
After Ruan Mengmeng finished her own work, she wanted to go forward to help, but was rejected by Zhang Sinian.
The reason was simple: they were done quickly and didn't need her at all.
Helplessly, Ruan Mengmeng could only watch the two of them busying around.
In order not to dirty his clothes, Zhang Sinian took off his outer coat, wearing only a shirt and rolled up his sleeves.
The weather in early autumn was slightly hot, and after working for a while, both of them began to sweat.
The thin clothes stuck to his body, revealing his abdominal muscles faintly.
The exposed muscle lines on his arms made Ruan Mengmeng lose her focus for a moment...
She had seen many handsome men like models before, and she had seen them in magazines and newspapers before.
However, this was the first time she had met a handsome man like Zhang Sinian who had a good figure, a good temper, and was willing to help others.
Although she doesn't have any specific practical experience, she still has aesthetic vision.
Once again, I sigh that all the good men have been handed over to the country!
Thinking back, even if it wasn’t handed over to the country, he would still have a partner.
He's good-looking, a nice guy, and a soldier, so what? He's already taken!
No matter what, she would not bother to set her sights on a married man.
Besides, she was still so young and had never thought about these things.
With a purely appreciative attitude, Ruan Mengmeng sighed a lot in her heart!
If Zhang Sinian knew what she was thinking, he would definitely refute it immediately.
I’m not, I don’t have one, I’ve always been single, where would I find a partner?
Although the two were busy, Zhang Sinian still noticed Ruan Mengmeng's passionate gaze early on.
He just grinned and secretly forced a smile, pretending not to know that the other person was looking at him.
It didn't take much time before the general outline of the stove was almost formed.
After a while, Zhang Sinian's voice came from the shed;
"Bring the iron pan over here!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Ruan Mengmeng carried the big iron pot that Zhang Sinian brought into the shed.
Zhang Sinian took the iron pot from her hand, put it on the stove and turned it a few times to make the pot and the stove fit perfectly together.
Then, start digging up mud and smearing it around the pot, so that the stove fire will not leak smoke.
Ruan Mengmeng had never seen this kind of operation before, and it was a bit novel. She just stood there and stared without blinking.
After finishing the stove, Zhang Sinian saw that there was still a lot of mixed mud left on the ground and felt it would be a pity to throw it away.
I dug it up and smeared the entire stove.
After finishing all this, the construction of the kitchen is basically completed.
Just wait for it to dry for a while and then it can be put into use.
Zhang Sinian found several wooden boards of different shapes that he had brought with him.
Then, after a rough comparison, he began to repair the wooden door of the room where the siblings lived.
When he came, he brought enough materials with him, and now he is packing them all at once to avoid leaving anything out.
Although the repaired wooden door is not beautiful in appearance, it is indeed very practical.
Ruan Mengmeng accepted the favor.
It's true, this guy was quite thoughtful and observant, he even noticed that his own wooden door was dilapidated.
After finishing everything that needed to be done, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai put away all the remaining unused items.
Collect all the excess garbage and waste together and take them out when you leave.
Ruan Mengmeng was not used at all from beginning to end, and no matter how thick-skinned she was, she felt a little embarrassed.
I looked at the time and it was already past three o'clock. I guess the new educated youth who went to the county town would be back soon.
Two hours of working on the stove should be enough.
Wait until dinner time and make some delicious food to reward these two people.
After collecting all their belongings and garbage, the two of them left the Youth League Home.
Ruan Mengmeng saw the two men leaving and thought they were taking something with them, so she didn't pay much attention.
She walked into the newly built kitchen.
The shed was built firmly and securely, and the inside was kept clean. Even the stove was evenly and smoothly smeared with mud.
She did a really good job. If I asked her to find someone else to do it, I guess it wouldn't have been as effective.
Ruan Mengmeng ran to the backyard, drew a few buckets of water from the well behind, cleaned the water tank that Zhang Sinian brought, and filled it with clean well water.
Take the big iron pot and clean it. You will use it for cooking tonight.
After finishing this series of work, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai had already left and returned.
Two people, each pulling a cart piled high with uneven dry firewood.
Ruan Mengmeng was shocked. These two people were so fast. It had only been a short while. Where did they get so much firewood?
Before she could think about it, Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai pulled the cart into the yard.
The two men parked the car at a shed near the kitchen, and then began unloading firewood to one side of the shed.
Ruan Mengmeng came to her senses and wanted to go forward to help, but Zhang Sinian rejected her again and diverted her attention;
"Is there any water?"
The two men were not very thirsty, their main purpose was to find something for the girl to do so that she wouldn't always want to come up and steal the work.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Ruan Mengmeng quickly agreed.
If Zhang Sinian hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten about it.
I have been working for her for several hours and haven't even had a sip of water!
She turned around and was about to go to the water tank to fetch water, but then she remembered that the well water was raw, so...
In an instant, she paused!
It's over. I agreed too quickly and forgot this is not the future. Mineral water is OK. There is no purified water here.
The well water is indeed clear and unpolluted, but drinking it raw is still not very hygienic, at least that's what she thinks.
Thinking that the stove had been built and would be used every morning and evening, and that the weather was so good and the mud on the surface of the stove had dried up, she decided to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water.
Put the cleaned large iron pot on the stove.
