Chapter 107 Building a toilet(2/2)
"Um."
Zhou Wenzhong walked to the faucet with a wooden board in one hand and two iron buckets in the other hand and started washing.
"Why do you collect the rinsing water together?"
"Pour it under the brick wall for a while. In addition to not wasting it, the gray water can also make the foundation stronger."
"What are the two objects made of wood, similar to small drawers, placed on the ground?"
Zhou Wenzhong saw what Zhang Xiufang was holding and explained: "You took it backwards. Those two shelves are what I'm going to nail on the interior wall. One is for you to put tissue paper on, and the other is for you to use the toilet at night."
When the time comes, you can put the kerosene lamp on it easily."
"You are so considerate. I think you are ready to call it a day?"
"Um."
"Why are you leaving so early?"
"If I keep doing this, I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
"Are there any materials still missing?"
"I really don't know which idiot gave your house a material estimate. There are a lot of bricks left, a lot of sand left, a lot of lime left. The tiles must be a lot richer. If you bring tiles for laying, it's still not enough.
4 bags of cement. You can go to the chemical store later and buy 5 cents of alum. Don’t forget to prepare all the wires tomorrow, at least 4 meters. Prepare the lamp sockets and light switches. The most important thing is don’t forget to give them to me.
Get a flat-blade screwdriver ready."
“Why buy alum?”
"We'll see the situation tomorrow. If conditions permit, we'll have to add alum to the lime. I'll try to whitewash the interior walls first tomorrow."
"oh."
Zhou Wenzhong blew his nose twice and then started to wash his hands and face. He raised his hand to block the soap handed by Zhang Xiufang.
"That's it for today. I won't enter the house to say hello to your family. Let's take a step first and see you later."
Zhou Wenzhong patted the sand off his body, took the cotton coat from Zhang Xiufang, put it on and left.
"What time will you come over tomorrow?"
"I have to stagger the time and come after you go to work. Because I don't want to see you."
Zhou Wenzhong didn't eat all day long and was hungry for a long time. As he walked home, he became more and more panicked. He quickly took out a handful of sugar from the space and stuffed it into his mouth...
"Well...I feel exhausted all over."
Zhou Wenzhong returned to his room and took off his cotton-padded coat. He didn't even eat, opened the quilt and fell asleep.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Jia Dongxu knocked on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house with a bottle of wine.
At the same time in the Zhang family, Zhang Hongyi turned on the lights in the courtyard and began to look at Zhou Wenzhong's masterpiece today.
"Dad, you bought too many of these things. You can't use them at all. Zhou Wenzhong will need 4 bags of cement tomorrow. Don't forget to prepare all the wires and other things."
Zhang Hongyi held the wall with his hands and put his face against the built wall. He squinted one eye to check whether the wall was skewed.
"He did this himself?"
After hearing the sound, Zhang's mother also walked out of the main room and answered for Zhang Xiufang: "That kid did it himself. The four of us mothers stared at him for a whole day. Didn't Sanya say he was a reform-through-labor prisoner, so we have to
Keep an eye on him, because he's afraid his hands and feet are not clean."
Zhang Xiufang threw her arms and complained: "Oh mom!"
"Look what your little girl has become now! She has even learned to make friends with reform-through-labor prisoners."
Zhang Hongyi chuckled when he saw his daughter's face turned pale with anger and ready to act rogue.
"That boy's case has been thoroughly investigated, and the police said it was a misunderstanding."
"My dad has already explained it, now you should believe it, right?"
"Hmph! I feel so scared when I think about the loss of these 10 yuan. He worked alone and almost built the toilet in just one day. It's so easy for him to earn this money."
Zhang Hongyi laughed at Zhang Xiufang and said: "Actually, there is a high probability that these 10 yuan will be... um... um..."
Zhang Xiufang quickly reached out to cover her father's mouth, and dragged Zhang Hongyi into the hall, leaving a confused mother stunned in place.
"Don't you understand yet? This 10 yuan has already gone into your daughter's pocket. This guy has been at your disposal all day long, and you are still picking on him."
"Ah? Mom, when did you notice it?"
"I saw it when I was having breakfast yesterday. You are such a big man, you should be more careful!"
