Chapter 118: Repair the thatched house and build the courtyard wall
"Don't sleep, the sun is drying your butt!"
Nestled in Wen Xiaolou's arms, Shen Ni lazily tugged at his beard.
Wen Xiaolou woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of Shen Ni's reddish pretty face.
He rolled over and pressed her under him, and kissed her on the seductive lips.
"Hmm, don't ......" symbolically struggled twice, but soon fell.
After messing around for a while, Shen Ni took care of him and got dressed and walked out of the house together.
She had already thought about what she was going to do today, and the task was not light.
Now that we have a house and a simple stove, the next thing to do is the thatched house and the courtyard wall.
With the courtyard wall, it also declares that this area has a belonging, although no one will come to this place, but there is still a form.
There are no rules, there is no circle, this truth is obvious.
If you want to work, you have to eat a full meal, afraid that the gruel will not be hungry, Shen Ni specially washed two sweet potatoes and threw them into the crockpot, and when they were boiled until soft, they were mashed with a spoon and mixed with the porridge.
After feeding Wen Xiaolou, Shen Ni forcibly requisitioned him, dragged him into the bamboo forest, and cut down suitable bamboo.
One is responsible for cutting, the other is responsible for transportation, the division of labor is clear, and the cooperation is pleasant.
In addition to bamboo, Shen Ni also deliberately found some rattan to come back, the clothes that she tore were about to run out, so she could only use rattan instead of cloth, although it took some effort, but it was barely enough.
The location of the thatched house was set at the back of the house, and it was still coaxing and deceiving, and Shen Ni made Wen Xiaolou spend a whole day digging the pit.
After having a thatched pit, Wen Xiaolou rested temporarily, and it was Shen Ni's turn to make a move and began to build the periphery of the thatched house.
Take a person-high bamboo and bury it side by side in the ground to form a mouth shape, but the south side is not all sealed, after all, Shen Ni is not as stupid as Wen Xiaolou, and he doesn't even leave a door.
The bamboo is not tight between the bamboo, and Shen Ni added another layer on the outside, because the bamboo is round, and an extra layer is interspersed into it, so that it is tight.
By the time this was done, three days had passed.
The pit is a bit big, and people can't squat on it directly, so the best way is to find two planks, one left and one right, to provide a foothold.
But the problem is that wooden planks are not easy to find, so you have to make them yourself.
Trying to cut a piece of wood into a plank with a single firewood knife is a bit of a big job.
Fortunately, everything is not in a hurry, you can take your time.
This arduous task naturally fell on Wen Xiaolou.
Commanding him to cut down a big tree with a bowl mouth, Shen Ni threw the firewood knife at his feet, and left him to fend for himself.
Before coming to the house, Shen Ni first put up the pergola and looked around, and then took a step and used small steps to make a ruler to measure the distance between the courtyard walls.
I sharpened seven or eight bamboo sticks and held them in my hand, and after walking a few steps, I took out one and stuck it on the ground.
Squinting one eye, Shen Ni adopted a three-point and one-line method to set the construction route of the courtyard wall to ensure that it was straight and neat.
The four sides and corners of the courtyard wall were determined, and an area of about half an acre was planned in the center.
In fact, I didn't need such a big place, it was all because Shen Ni liked to be spacious, so he planned it a little bigger.
Shen Ni doesn't like things that are too petty, and in the same way, whether there are things about stinginess or stingy people, she doesn't like it very much.
This is also why, when she heard Chen Lin say that Wen Xiaolou often stole things from home when she was a child and used it to help others, she didn't think he was a loser, but would appreciate it very much.
