The cute educated youth accidentally flirted with the black-bellied vixen
Chapter 55 Those People
The people she was talking about were naturally the other educated youth at the educated youth point.
Xiong Mei snorted coldly. Those people looked down on them, but they looked down on those people too.
"That's not true. This kid is very honest. He doesn't have any of the problems of city people. He's sweet-talking and hardworking."
Zhang Xiuxiu had never dealt with Gu Wan before, so when she heard Xiong Mei say this, she thought they had no contact, so she didn't understand.
She naturally believed in her friend, so it didn't matter what Gu Wan was like before, but the current Gu Wan was indeed sweet-talking and hardworking.
Gu Wan didn't know that after she left, Xiong Mei praised her.
If he said he would come back to clean up, he really would.
After all, she was injured. She did too many things and pulled her shoulders, which caused the wound to feel weak and sore.
So she cleaned it up bit by bit, and didn't force herself to finish it in one day.
Yesterday she mainly worked on the yard and the bedroom. There are three rooms in this house in total, and she doesn't need the remaining two, so she doesn't plan to touch them.
Just close the door. The most important thing is the location of the bathroom and toilet in the backyard. The toilet has been unused for several years.
The toilet was relatively clean, but because it had not been used for a long time, there was water at the bottom.
The ground was paved with cement by the old man, leaving only a pit the same size as a modern squat toilet.
This design looks much cleaner and safer than other houses in the village.
At this time, various fertilizers are rarely used, and feces water is generally used, so when designing the toilet, it is basically covered with a wooden board.
When going to the toilet, you can just step on the wooden board. Although it looks unsafe, it is actually quite safe for those in the village who are used to it.
But the toilet in this house is different from those in other houses in the village. The cover of this yard is built outside, and the entrance to the pit is not very big.
There was only a hole of about 60 to 70 centimeters on top, covered with a very thick wooden board, weighing about 70 to 80 kilograms, with two wooden handles nailed on the board.
It can be used to lift this heavy wooden board.
In other words, if you want to use sewage, you have to go to the corner of the wall outside the toilet. This way, you can't see it, and the toilet will seem much cleaner. It is also safer for Gu Wan.
The bathroom is relatively small, only about five square meters, and it also has a cement floor. The floor is sloped so that water can flow directly into the pit outside.
In this way, the floor can always be kept clean and tidy, but because the windows face north and in order to keep warm, the windows are opened relatively small.
As a result, the bathroom is not clearly visible at night.
So you still need to prepare a kerosene lamp here, which will have a green glass lampshade.
There is lamp oil at the bottom and a wick in the middle. After it is lit, you can cover it with a lid, which is also green.
The lid looks like a toilet plug placed on the ground, but the difference is that the bottom is shaped like a half football with a long, tube-like opening in the middle.
This way, even if the flame rises, there is no need to worry about burning the glass, and there is no cover on the long tube, so air can circulate normally.
This is also the key to preventing the flame from igniting and being difficult to blow out after the lid is closed.
Gu Wan only found out about this after seeing the kerosene lamps used by the educated youth. She had never seen this before.
After cleaning the bathroom and toilet a little, he opened the door for ventilation and took out a bed sheet that the captain's family had given him.
She bought new bed sheets, and the old ones were of no use, so she could use them as a cover when the time comes, and make them into a curtain in the bathroom.
She did it right away. There were needles and thread in her space, as well as a sewing machine.
However, the sewing machine is electric, so it cannot be used now, but it is still easy to sew a simple curtain.
She quickly folded the bed sheet into the size of the window, a square shape, so that the curtains would be thicker and less likely to let in wind.
After fixing it with needle and thread, she found a stick in the corner and rolled it up with the edge at the bottom of the curtain.
It is best not to have the curtains in the bathroom that can be pulled apart, as they can be easily blown open by the wind. It is best to have the kind that is a whole piece.
A thick wooden stick is hung at the bottom so that in winter, the wind will not easily blow the curtains open because there is some weight underneath.
The bathroom wall was made of earthen bricks, which should be easier to nail, but she didn't have any nails, which stumped her.
Most of the nails used here are made from bamboo, and almost every household makes them by themselves, but Gu Wan doesn't know how to do it, as she thinks Shitou and the others will send her something later.
There are so many things that she definitely cannot deliver them all in one trip. When they go back, she will buy some from them. If she buys more, she will have a lot of places to nail.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a voice calling her outside the yard. It was Shi Tou and Wu Miaojiang who came to deliver the things she ordered. She had to wait for the recliner.
Because the wheelbarrow had been borrowed by his brother's family, he had to wait for them to return it before he could use the wheelbarrow to send it over.
"Gu Zhiqing, take a look. Everything is here. Please check it."
Wu the bamboo craftsman had no intention of going in. She stood awkwardly at the door, carrying the things she had ordered on a shoulder pole. Shi Tou stood timidly at the side and looked at her.
Seeing that they had no intention of coming in, Gu Wan did not take the initiative to invite them. After all, she was the only girl at home.
After Wu put his things down, he untied the things he had brought with him, and as he untied them he said:
"Here are the sieves you asked for, the basket, and the small chair. I also got you two small dustpans."
He waved at the stone, and Gu Wan looked at his hands full of black grooves.
Shi Tou walked closer and handed the things in his hand to Gu Wan.
In addition to two small dustpans, there is also a brush for cleaning pots and a bamboo tube for chopsticks and the like.
Seeing this, Gu Wan remembered that she still needed a lot of things.
"By the way, can you make me a few pairs of chopsticks?" At that time, people used chopsticks made of bamboo for eating.
Most of them were peeled at home, but Gu Wan thought that since she had already found someone to buy it for her, she might as well buy it from them together.
"Yes, yes. If Gu Zhiqing wants a few pairs, I'll cut a few pairs for you when the time comes." They didn't intend to ask for money, they just wanted a few pairs of chopsticks.
Gu Wan bought a lot of things. Bamboo is not expensive, and it doesn’t take much effort to carve chopsticks.
"Really? I'm really sorry to bother you. It's just that I need a lot of things. I didn't think of them before, and only realized that I was missing this and that when I got home."
