If you don't agree, do it! Roll up your sleeves, empty your property and go back to the country

"Nono, you're back?"

Sun Yuxi and Chao Xianhua in the courtyard rested for a while and now looked much more energetic. When they heard the noise, they opened the door and came out.

"Well, I went to the brigade headquarters and bought some furniture and the wood I needed. I also decided on the materials for building the yard, the kang, and the stove. Have you guys decided how to build the house yet?"

"I've thought about it. I also want to build a wall. I just saw Qin Zhiqing's wall next door and it looks good." Sun Yuxi nodded quickly.

The single room next to her belonged to the old educated youth Qin Xuehua. Before they came, there were only three single rooms here, all of which had walls around them. It looked nice and provided ample personal space.

"You don't need to build a wall around your garden, Flowers. Now that Nuonuo and I have walls on both sides, your backyard will be a yard. If you want a gate, just open one."

Sun Yuxi had just walked around here and had already understood the locations and terrain of the three families.

"That's great, but the cost of the materials for those two walls should be split among the three of us. I can't take advantage of you."

Chao Xianhua was quite happy, as this saved her a lot of trouble. However, she couldn't take advantage of this. Her mother had said that those who try to take advantage of others will suffer great losses. She had finally made two friends, and she couldn't lose them just because she took advantage of others.

This must be the big loss her mother mentioned.

Bai Nuo and Sun Yuxi smiled at each other, and then Bai Nuo spoke first: "How many earth bricks can be used for a wall? Besides, I only have one big wall and one small wall here, so it won't cost much."

"On my side, there's Qin Zhiqing's courtyard wall on one side. This saves me the cost of one wall. I only have to build one wall, so why should I share the cost with you?"

"That's right." Seeing that Sun Yuxi had no objection, Bai Nuo nodded quickly and said with a smile, "If you feel bad about it, just make some delicious food and share some with us later."

Food is hard to buy these days and is more expensive than bricks, so there is no question of whether anyone will suffer a loss or not.

"Okay, I cook delicious food. When the stove is ready, I'll make you two something delicious."

Chao Xianhua was particularly happy about this. Her mother had said that friends should not be calculative, but they should not always take advantage or suffer losses. Only by giving and taking can we make friends.

Afterwards, Chao Xianhua and Sun Yuxi also followed the team leader to the team headquarters to buy furniture and order materials, while Bai Nuo began to pack his luggage and perfect the design of his own home.

She separated two small rooms in the side yard to serve as a bathroom and a woodshed. As for the remaining half, she planned to build a grape trellis on the top, use wooden boards to clamp the walls on both sides, and then fix the boards with nails underneath.

Build a simple small pavilion, the old stone mill table can be placed inside, and build a drying rack next to it.

A flushable dry toilet was built in the corner of the yard, a stone path was paved in the middle, and two vegetable plots were set up on both sides, enough for her to eat.

By the way, we also need to build a chicken coop so that one person can raise three chickens. Then she will have an excuse to eat eggs and chicken in the future.

Bai Nuo stood in his backyard and observed carefully. Finally, he decided to pave another 60 centimeters of cement floor at the edge of the house. This way, he would not have to worry about mud and water being brought into the house when it rained.

Thinking of cement, Bai Nuo went to the brigade headquarters again. Fortunately, no one had gone to the county to get materials yet, so he quickly asked the brigade leader to bring back a small bag of cement for him. It was just a small bag, so he could buy it when he went to the brick factory. It was not a big deal. If the quantity was large, he would have to go to the commune to get a permit.

In this way, Bai Nuo finally arranged her courtyard properly. When she returned, she heard that there was a reed marsh to the west of the brigade, so she hurried over.

Reeds can be used to make many things.

In the afternoon, after Bai Nuo designed the layout of the cottage and the yard, he was not in a hurry to pack his luggage. Someone would come to build walls and build kangs and other tasks soon, and by then there would definitely be dust everywhere. It would be better to finish everything and pack it up at once.

The luggage was still in the package for the time being, and with nothing to do, Bai Nuo started writing and drawing in the notebook.

She planned to cover the whole house with old newspapers. The few pounds of newspapers she had won in the lottery were enough. She would then use the reed leaves she had picked to weave two straw mats and put them on the kang, which would be comfortable and keep out dust.

Although the kang was made of red bricks, there would still be dust. Bai Nuo couldn't accept laying a mat directly on it. Anyway, she could weave straw mats, and then weave a few reed curtains with reed stalks. She hung a large reed curtain on the wall near the kang and wrapped it with large Northeastern floral cloth. She remembered that she still had a lot of rolls of old-fashioned lace, and it would look good if she made a lace edge.

"Atong, do you have lace now?"

"Yes, host. According to the records of this time and space, Longguo began producing lace fabrics in 1890. Now, department stores in Shanghai and Beijing, as well as Friendship Stores, have some tablecloths made of pure cotton lace fabrics, as well as lace for shirts and dresses. So the system recommends that you find some pure cotton lace fabrics."

"What a coincidence, I actually have it." Bai Nuo scanned the No. 8 warehouse with his spiritual sense, and found two boxes full of old-fashioned pure cotton lace fabrics, which were just right.

She also wanted to make a desk next to the kang, so she had to hang a rectangular reed curtain on the partition walls on both sides, so that it would look clean, tidy and beautiful.

"Host, we are not staying here forever, why do we need to deal with so many things?" The system did not quite understand. It had to go to work in the fields tomorrow, and still had to deal with so many things. It was afraid that the host would be too tired to go on strike, and it would be terrible if there was a commotion.

Bai Nuo smiled and sat on the bundle, explaining: “You know I had five teachers before, one of whom was Teacher Wen, an elegant and refined lady. Even in the end times, she would live a refined life within her ability and make her living place comfortable and warm.

She once told me that no matter where you are, never give up on your life and live it to the fullest. Five dollars has its own elegance, and five hundred million has its own elegance. Only by living well can your life get better and better. On the contrary, if even your own home and yourself are sloppy and you just muddle through, then your life will likely be a mess and get worse and worse.

I don't know if this is correct. After all, the old lady was a descendant of Suzhou embroidery and a senior professor of fashion design and production at a top university before the end of the world. She has lived a refined life since she was a child, and her ideas will not change with the changes in the environment.

But I am willing to listen to her. Although I have been reborn into this world, it cannot change the fact that my teachers gave me a life, a chance to live, and worked together to raise me.

So, whether it’s right or wrong, I will obey.”
