As time passed day by day, the deaf old lady never mentioned the reason why she vomited blood and fainted. She was given intravenous fluids for two consecutive days in the hospital, and finally the street office staff reimbursed her for the medical expenses she had paid in advance.
Now she has been taken back to the backyard to recover from her internal injuries. According to rumors in the hospital, the deaf old lady can no longer walk and can only lie down on the bed. She even needs help from others to defecate.
Taking care of the lonely old man, a task that can both promote his spirit and reflect his self-awareness, can only fall on Yi Zhonghai. He also needs this kind of thing to highlight his moral character. Because he wants to give young people in the hospital
The first generation actively sets an example. Today, he takes care of an old deaf lady who is bedridden. Tomorrow, when the two of them are lying in bed and unable to move, they will have to let others take care of them.
Naturally, the street office nodded in agreement. Just when they were worried that no one would take care of the old lady, the couple jumped out. They quickly held a hospital-wide meeting and gave Yi Zhonghai a few words of verbal praise in front of all the residents.
Yi Zhonghai can also manage the compound better after receiving the honor.
For Zhou Wenzhong, the life and death of the deaf old lady no longer mattered. Because she had no value anymore. He had obtained the house and the family recipes. So she loved her to death. Only a little kid would do this.
In a circle without interests, show your toughness,
Zhou Wenzhong has been busy competing with Yi Zhonghai these days, a kind of competition where the two never meet each other. Yi Zhonghai did not buy what Zhou Wenzhong wrote on the list that day on time. To buy or not to buy? Yi Zhonghai has not thought clearly yet. Buy.
If you buy it, it proves that you are guilty, and if you don't buy it, you are afraid that Zhou Wenzhong will take revenge. The deaf old lady vomiting blood and fainting in the room that day is most likely Zhou Wenzhong's masterpiece.
Yi Zhonghai was not sure whether Zhou Wenzhong knew the inside story of the assassination, nor could he guess what exactly the deaf old lady and Zhou Wenzhong said in the house that day. According to his wife, it was Zhou Wenzhong who was in the old lady's house that morning.
After sitting there for a while, the old lady vomited blood and fell into a coma after leaving.
And Zhou Wenzhong did not urge Yi Zhonghai to buy things. On the surface, he was busy renovating his own house these days. In fact, he was waiting for Yi Zhonghai to come. As long as Yi Zhonghai bought those things, it would be a disguised proof that he had left.
During this time in the yard, he also made some moves behind his back. The two of them have been competing with each other for the past few days.
Zhou Deming also came to the small courtyard to see Zhou Wenzhong three times in the past few days, but before he could talk about the terms of reconciliation, he was dragged by Zhou Wenzhong to stay and work. So now Zhou Deming does not dare to see Zhou Wenzhong at all.
The house renovation project that was originally planned to be completed in three days had to be postponed because the Yan family's staff did not have the skills required.
The current small courtyard still uses the old broken wooden door. After pushing open the courtyard door and walking in, the small courtyard of more than 10 square meters is neatly planned in several places.
On the right hand side of the courtyard is a large water tank, and on the left is the former stove in the courtyard. Now a 2-square-meter ceiling is built with asbestos tiles above to ensure that it can be used for normal cooking even when it rains. And the previous stove
The platform was now rebuilt with cement by Zhou Wenzhong.
When the Zheng family moved the large iron pot from the stove, they pried the stove hole into holes. Zhou Wenzhong could only repair the stove first, then bought a new large iron pot with a diameter of 70 cm, embedded it in the stove and covered it with cement.
The sides are sealed. This big black iron pot can cook meals for 15 people at one time. Even a sheep can be thrown in. It can be stewed whole without even chopping it. Although you don’t need to buy industrial products now,
coupon, but the price of this pot is not cheap at all, costing Zhou Wenzhong a full 3 yuan.
The ground leading from the yard to the door of the hall is extremely flat. The ground itself is made of loess and clay. It has been pressed hard by five people stepping on it with heavy objects all day long, and Zhou Wenzhong also used the leftover cement, sand and soil every day.
, add water, mix, and then sprinkle it over and over again. It almost becomes a cement-hardened road. The 4-meter-long path in the courtyard leading to the main room is very straight.
Zhou Wenzhong also used stone bricks and broken pieces from the house to insert them diagonally into the ground on both sides of the path. In addition to having a good and beautiful effect, it can also neatly organize two small vegetable plots with an area of 3 square meters. Look back for some
Insert bamboo poles or long wooden sticks into the vegetable field to make a shelf, and you can plant some long beans and cucumbers later.
At the northwest corner of the courtyard wall, Zhou Wenzhong nailed nails on the two walls and tied hemp ropes on them. It would be much easier to dry clothes in the future.
The biggest change is in the main room. The floor was made flat by Zhou Wenzhong himself with cement. The 14-square-meter main room alone has two large windows. There is a 2-meter by 2-meter large double-sided window on the west wall on the right.
.The windows on the south wall of the front used to be 1.2 meters, but now they have been changed to 1.5 meters. Two words stand out in the entire main room: bright!
To the east of the main room is the bedroom. The wooden door used by the Zheng family has become rotten and has been carefully inspected by Zhou Wenzhong. There are still insects in the wooden door. Now it has been replaced by a 2-meter-high, 90-centimeter-high door.
A wide elm door. The cost of lumber, carpenter's fee, copper hinges, rear door latch, front door latch, and brushing with cooked palm oil cost a total of 4 yuan and 80 cents.
The bedroom also has a cement floor created by Zhou Wenzhong. In a space of nearly 12 square meters, there is only a 1.5-meter-wide and 1.8-meter-long miscellaneous wooden bed. The previous 1 meter by 1 meter window has also been changed.
At 2 meters by 2 meters, the light in the bedroom is still quite good, and Zhou Wenzhong likes the bright feeling.
The ceilings of the main room and bedrooms are both 4 meters above the ground, and the beams are at a height of 3.4 meters. Zhou Wenzhong asked a master carpenter to repaint the beams three times with cooked palm oil, and re-paste the ceiling with "Korean paper".
It is said that "Korean paper" has the highest flexibility and can last at least 20 years without breaking. It cost Zhou Wenzhong a full 6 yuan to attach the materials.
The walls of both houses are plastered with cement. Today is the day for the three members of the Yan family to whiten the interior walls of the house. Zhou Wenzhong bought a pack of alum from the chemical store early and sprinkled it into the lime and mixed it.
The moment Yan Bugui saw the lime, his body began to retching uncontrollably. It was probably because the root cause of the disease was sitting in the lime pond in Yangjiaji. As a result, he is now afraid of lime when he sees it, and even the smell of lime is unpleasant.
Don't dare to smell it.
Zhou Wenzhong was sitting on the stove in the courtyard calculating accounts at this time. He picked up his writing pad and wrote down the expenses for the past few days.
"The wooden door for the bedroom cost 4 yuan and 80 cents, the ceiling cost 6 yuan, the iron pot cost 3 yuan, the glass cost 2 yuan, and a whole roll of green window screen cost 4 yuan and 60 cents.
, I spent 5 cents on alum, 1 yuan and 66 cents on photography, 1 yuan and 60 cents on calligraphy and painting, 2 yuan on carpenter labor. 4 cents and 6 cents on a nail clipper, and 1 pack of matches.
2 cents…”
"Huh... It cost 21 yuan just to decorate the house, and the money was not spent. Fortunately, Lao Zhou paid back 20 yuan that day, and now I only have 5 yuan and 70 cents left in my pocket. Alas..."
As soon as Zhou Wenzhong put away the paper and pen, he saw Yan Bugui trotting over rubbing his hands.
"Comrade Zhou Wenzhong, do you think you can stop my two sons from doing lime work?"
"What's wrong?"
"The smell of lime is poisonous."
"Poisonous? Don't be afraid! I have a trick! We have to believe in science, just wait!"
Zhou Wenzhong knew in his heart that the lime with alum added didn't smell good, so he didn't sit in the house. He stayed in the courtyard all the time. When he was building a toilet in Zhang's house, his throat hurt for several days. Every day.
I kept feeling like there was phlegm in my throat and I couldn't spit it out. I reached into my lower back, took out the "Militia Training Manual" from the space, and opened it to the second section (Chemical Prevention Knowledge).
"Lao Yan, come over and take a look. The organization has already come up with a response plan."
Yan Bugui stretched his neck and leaned over, his eyes almost touching the pages of the book. Zhou Wenzhong naturally chose to forgive such a highly myopic person for soiling his own book.
"According to the first section of the book (respiratory protection), you can make gas masks and gas tubes. Now that we can't find bamboo tubes, we will make gas masks. But because we can't find baking soda, we can't make them.
If you can’t produce pure (impregnated masks), then you can only make (material-filled masks). Let me turn to page 63 first.”
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
Zhou Wenzhong pointed to the content on page 63 and said: "(Material mask) Use gauze, old cloth, towel, etc. to make a cloth bag. Fill it with soil particles and sew it with fine sawdust. It can also be made according to the degree of chemical contamination.
Add lime water, soapy water, 10% baking soda, water, and soak it with urine."
"Snapped!"
Zhou Wenzhong closed the book so hard that he almost caught Yan Bugui's nose.
"Then don't be stunned and go back to your house to find relevant things. Don't you still believe in scientific things?"
Yan Bugui sighed. He understood what Zhou Wenzhong meant. It seemed that he had to do the job of shaving his head today. If he couldn't avoid it, he had to go home and find relevant materials to make a mask. It just so happened that he could take advantage of this opportunity to go home.
Let my wife make a mask while I lie down and rest for a while.
"Liberation, Xie Kuang, if you two keep insisting, I will go home first and let your mother sew three masks. You can make do with it for now."
"Dad, please hurry up!"
"knew."
Yan Bugui finished shouting to the main room, and after receiving a response, he and Zhou Wenzhong didn't even say hello, and walked back to their home with their heads lowered.
Zhou Wenzhong sat back on the stove again and flipped through the books in his hands.
"This is the first edition of the training manual, which can be said to be the unabridged version. As long as I strictly follow the above training methods and practice in reverse, I can become a qualified! Personnel with counter-reconnaissance capabilities! Wariruigu
Let’s read the big chapter (Standing Guard) first.”
Sentries, wandering sentries, lurking sentries, selection of sentry posts, militia detection methods, and concealment of militia scouts.
"Hey, dear, it turns out that the book "Military Mine Demolition Textbook" is really useful. The first section talks about the combination of black powder, the second section talks about nitamine explosives, the third section is about TNT, and the fourth section is about mines.
Tribute... There are also the making of fire tools, ignition methods, delayed blasting methods, and blasting methods of common communication stations... No wonder a large number of people now disdain to play with guns. These days, you only need to go to a bookstore to buy explosive bags.
How to make it. Go to the chemical store again, and half an hour after returning home, the explosive pack is successfully made!"
Zhou Wenzhong bathed in the sunshine and replenished his brain with cultural knowledge from books.
