Chapter 4 "Repairing the Roof"
Standing on the roof, Jiang Yan felt his consciousness spread out of his vision like a wave of wheat, and then stepped down the ladder and walked to the stove.
"Dabai, let me tell you, there are strangers now, you have to go out less during this period of time, otherwise you will be caught by the bad guys, and I am afraid that this bit of meat on your body will not be able to bear them for three days."
Holding Zhao Dabai's head swaying from side to side, Jiang Yan stared at it with a solemn face.
Although Jiang Yan can't communicate with Zhao Dabai like a communication plant, since such a long time of contact, Jiang Yan found that Zhao Dabai, who is a bear, seems to have a much higher IQ than he remembered, and sometimes even like a child.
Zhao Dabai could fully understand the simple words, so it was also convenient for Jiang Yan's intimidation.
Nodding with a frightened expression, Zhao Dabai showed a trace of reluctance, Jiang Yan, who saw this expression, instantly understood that Zhao Dabai obviously still wanted to catch fish and eat.
"If you are hungry, you can go out at night, people don't like to travel at night, so you can be much safer, if you see the light, you must walk around, otherwise you will be eaten."
Seeing Zhao Dabai, who was a little aggrieved, Jiang Yan pinched the latter's nose, and his voice was gentle.
For such a long time, Jiang Yan has always thought that Zhao Dabai is very lucky to be able to follow him.
Although he was sometimes naughty and ate vegetables from the garden, he never fed it himself.
As if he understood, Zhao Dabai nodded solemnly, and then lay down in front of the door, guarding the gate like a stone lion.
Seeing the latter's demeanor, Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing, it was the first time she saw Zhao Dabai's expression, she felt like a child who had been assigned a task, and her face was full of childishness.
Turning around, Jiang Yan picked up the hammer on the ground, sat on the bluestone and knocked on the plank, no matter whether the person who came was good or evil, the holes on the roof still had to be repaired.
The hammer fell with a clang, the crack of the wooden board was re-stitched, and the broken wooden board was re-corrected by Jiang Yan, who stood up and straightened his sour waist.
"This young body is different, if this is me before my death, I'm afraid my waist will be broken!"
Looking at the wooden board on the ground, Jiang Yan showed a satisfied smile, and just wanted to share his joy with Zhao Dabai, but when he raised his head, he found.
Zhao Dabai, who was guarding the door, was lying on the ground and falling asleep at the moment.
"Pigs!"
Ignoring Zhao Dabai anymore, Jiang Yan turned around and walked into the storage room, repairing the roof can't just rely on wooden boards, so it can't be waterproof.
When the older generation repaired the roof, they would buy some asphalt, melt it and spread it in the repair area, so that it would not only fit tightly, but also be stronger.
But now ginger smoke can't find asphalt, but fortunately, ginger smoke stores a lot of plastic sheeting, compared to other eroded items, the plastic sheeting discarded in the corner at random is like a new one, as for waterproofing there is no problem at all.
Carrying the materials, Jiang Yan climbed onto the roof and climbed to the position of the loophole, Jiang Yan took out an iron nail and nailed the wooden board in his hand to the gap.
The hammer fell again and again, and the loopholes in the roof became smaller and smaller.
"Ahh It's finally done! ”
Rubbing his sour arm, Jiang Yan looked at the masterpiece in front of him with a tired face.
When I first got home, it was only noon, but as the wooden planks were repaired and the roof leaks were repaired, the time was still entering dusk.
Standing up, Jiang Yan twisted his waist and looked at the sky, unlike in the city, the sunset in the countryside is always so pure.
The low buildings stretched out to the trees in the sky, and the slanting sunlight was hidden behind the shadows of the trees, and the oblique shadows under the feet became more and more blurred.
"The scenery is so good, but it's a pity that no one enjoys it." Pinching his waist, Jiang Yan let out a sigh.
"Whew!"
In the courtyard, Zhao Dabai woke up at some point, looked at Jiang Yan on the roof, and shouted excitedly.
"Silly dog."
Zhao Dabai's roar interrupted Jiang Yan's scattered thoughts, and seeing Zhao Dabai with excitement on his face, Jiang Yan scolded with a smile.
"You can't come up, the roof can't carry your weight!"
In one sentence, Zhao Dabai's excitement was instantly defeated, hanging his head, Zhao Dabai bit the wild grass and went crazy.
"Hey! Don't bite me! Go bite the beans, and I'm going to give the boss a tomato! ”
"Am I not important? Why not bite into the corn! ”
"Oops! Jokes are also eye-catching, although I am often praised by Zhao Dabai, but the boss has eaten bud rice recently! Much more important than you! ”
Zhao Dabai made such a fuss, and the entire vegetable garden became lively again.
The chaos in his ears made Jiang Yan couldn't help laughing, and he went down the ladder to the roof, and Jiang Yan returned to the living room to inspect his results.
"Well, no."
Looking up at the sky, the sunset was within half an hour, and when he stepped down from the cement platform in front of the house, Jiang Yan walked to the stove and took out a wooden stick to pick the faint flames in the stove pit.
"Fortunately, it didn't go out!"
Bringing a bundle of firewood, Jiang Yan broke it and stuffed it into the stove pit, and then lay on the side, puffing out his cheeks and blowing hard.
"Whew!"
The influx of strong winds brought the faint flames back to life, and the smoke spread, followed by flames at a critical point.
Looking at the flames burning in the stove pit, Jiang Yan kept sending the firewood in his hand into it, and the fire became more and more vigorous, and Jiang Yan finally pulled away.
After a day's work, Jiang Yan's physical strength has already reached a critical point, and now she urgently needs to replenish some salt, but there are only some coarse grains in the vegetable garden, and if she wants to recover her strength, Jiang Yan has to dig out her small treasury.
Walking into the storage room, Jiang Yan rarely turned on the light.
There are all kinds of tools and materials in the storage room, and even many books in plastic packaging, but these are not the point, the point is that Jiang Yan dug out a basement of dozens of square meters under the storage room.
Pulling back the carpet, Jiang Yan descended the hidden staircase, a basement that stored a large amount of scarce resources, in addition to military cans that could be stored for decades, there was also a large amount of diesel.
The diesel fuel was prepared by Jiang Yan for his own generator before his death, and in this basement, a diesel generator full of oil stains is kept.
Glancing at the generator, the latter's roar was somewhat deafening, but fortunately it was hidden underground, and most of the sound was buried in the dirt.
"It's better to use less of this generator."
The roar of machinery was a little out of place in the silent village, which was why Jiang Yan had not been used for so long.
Rummaging through the cans on the counter, Jiang Yan carefully searched for them with the help of dim light, some cans have rotted and deteriorated due to the category, but there are some large oil and salt that are no problem.
"Tempeh fish, tonight's dinner depends on you!"
Wiping off the dust on it, Jiang Yan picked up a box of canned food, his face full of excitement.
