Settling down (5)

Lu Xiaoxiao borrowed the old man's wooden cart to pull the furniture to the small courtyard. Fortunately, the distance was not very far, so he arrived quickly.

Lu Xiaoxiao asked Wang Gang and others to help her place the two kang cabinets on the kang in the room. The other two kang cabinets and the kang table were placed on the newly made kang in the main room. The table and stools were placed against the wall right in front of the entrance to the main room. , everything else is placed in the kitchen.

After placing the things, Wang Gang and the others helped her burn the kang and dehumidify her so that she could sleep on it tomorrow. Wang Gang asked her if she would burn the kang, and she said no after hearing Wang Gang's words.

Before Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn, he had never seen a kang in real life except for watching it on TV. After he came here, he burned a stove and slept on a wooden bed in the capital, so he had no chance to come into contact with a kang. Naturally, he did not have the skill to burn a kang. lit.

Wang Gang heard that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to burn a kang, so he started to teach Lu Xiaoxiao how to burn a kang.

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly learned how to burn a kang under Wang Gang's guidance.

Burning a kang is actually similar to making a fire. First use pine trees to light the fire, and then add firewood to burn it. However, the size of the fire is more difficult to control, because the kang cannot be burned too hot, as it will explode if it is too hot.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that it was still early, and burning the kang required a lot of firewood. It was definitely impossible for her to go up the mountain to chop firewood, so she asked Liu Baozhu where she could get some firewood.

Liu Baozhu said that many trees on the Snowy Mountains were crushed, so they could just go up the mountain and pull them down.

Lu Xiaoxiao told Wang Gang about the firewood. After hearing what she said, Wang Gang told her to take good care of the house, and then went up the mountain with Liu Baozhu and the others.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that there was no one here, so she went to the bedroom, closed the door and windows and entered the space.

Lu Xiaoxiao went into the cloakroom, took her inner clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Not taking a shower for a whole day and night was too difficult for a person who needs to take a shower every day. She just felt like everything was wrong.

After Lu Xiaoxiao took a shower, she felt relaxed all over. She took a glass of milk and a piece of fresh milk cake from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa to enjoy it. She had to sigh again: It was so cool to have space as a cheating tool.

Lu Xiaoxiao left the room after eating and drinking. She was afraid that Wang Gang and the others would come back suddenly.

After Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the space, she looked at the two kangs and saw that the fires were OK but did not add firewood. She walked around and found that except for a big pot, all the hardware facilities in her small courtyard were complete. She only needed to buy some daily necessities. You can check in directly.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she had brought quilts, clothes, shoes, enamel jars, and a box from home.

Things like grains, vegetables, bowls and seasonings all need to be purchased. Wang Gang will go back tomorrow, and she can just take the ox cart that takes him back to the county to go shopping.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked around in the yard for a while and then saw Wang Gang and the others pulling four pieces of wood into the yard. After Liu Baozhu put down the wood, he turned around and went home to get something to chop wood without taking a rest. Wang Gang moved a stool to sit on. Chat with her in the yard.

Wang Gang looked at her and said: "Xiaoxiao, my uncle will go back to the city tomorrow. I have already told the captain about your schooling. He will make arrangements for you in the spring next year. I will also tell you about your usual work. Okay, you go hunting pigweed like the children in the village. A basket of pigweed costs two work points. You can just shoot a basket of pigweed every day. You don’t have to rely on this to support yourself. Now you are still growing. You have to take good care of yourself so that your body will be healthy.”

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't feel irritated at all when she heard a grown man like Wang Gang nagging like a mother. She just felt that it felt good to be cared for like this.

While chatting, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Baozhu coming back, with a hatchet and an ax in his hand.

As soon as Wang stepped forward and took the hatchet from Liu Baozhu's hand, he and Liu Baozhu chopped firewood together. After the firewood was chopped, they placed all the firewood in the kitchen, then extinguished the fires in the two kangs, locked the door, and took her back to the captain's house.
