Lu Xiaoxiao borrowed the wooden cart from the old man's house to pull the furniture towards the small courtyard. Fortunately, it was not far away and they arrived quickly.
Lu Xiaoxiao asked Wang Gang and the others to help her place two cabinets on the bed in the room. The other two cabinets and table were placed on the newly made bed in the main room. The table and stool were placed against the wall in front of the entrance of the main room, and the other things were placed in the kitchen.
After placing the things, Wang Gang and the others helped her heat the bed to remove the moisture in the room so that she could sleep the next day. Wang Gang asked her if she knew how to heat the bed, but she said no after hearing Wang Gang's words.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn, other than seeing a heated bed on television, she had never seen it in real life. After coming to Jing City, she had always burned a stove and slept on a wooden bed, so she had no chance to come into contact with a heated bed. She naturally did not have the skill of heating a heated bed.
When Wang Gang heard that Lu Xiaoxiao did not know how to heat a bed, he began to teach her how to heat a bed.
Under Wang Gang's guidance, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly learned how to heat a bed.
Heating the bed was actually similar to burning a fire. First, one had to use pine to light the fire, then add wood to burn it. It was just that the size of the fire was more difficult to control because the bed could not be too hot. If it was too hot, it would explode.
Seeing that it was still early, Lu Xiaoxiao needed a lot of firewood to heat the bed. It was definitely impossible for her to go up the mountain to cut wood, so she asked Liu Baozhu where she could get some firewood.
Liu Baozhu said that many trees on the snowy mountain had been crushed. She could just go up the mountain and pull them down.
Lu Xiaoxiao told Wang Gang about the firewood. After Wang Gang heard her words, he instructed her to take good care of the house and then went up the mountain with Liu Baozhu and the others.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the bedroom and closed the door and windows before entering the space.
Lu Xiaoxiao entered the cloakroom, took her innerwear, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. It was too difficult for a person who needed to take a shower every day to not take a shower for a day and night. She felt that everything was uncomfortable for her.
After taking a shower, Lu Xiaoxiao felt relaxed. She took a glass of milk and a piece of fresh milk cake from the fridge and sat on the sofa to enjoy them. She couldn't help but sigh again. It was too satisfying to have the space as a cheating tool.
Lu Xiaoxiao left the space after eating and drinking her fill. She was afraid that Wang Gang and the others would suddenly return.
After Lu Xiaoxiao left the space, she saw that the fire on the two beds was still alright and did not add firewood. She walked around and realized that other than a big pot, the hardware and facilities of her small courtyard were all complete. She only needed to buy some daily necessities and she could directly move in.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought of the blanket, clothes, shoes, and enamel jar she had brought from home, as well as the suitcase.
She still needed to buy food, vegetables, bowls, and seasonings. Wang Gang was going back the next day, so she could take his carriage back to the county to buy them.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked around the courtyard for a while and saw Wang Gang and the others each pulling four logs into the courtyard. After Liu Baozhu put down the logs, he turned around and went home to get something to chop firewood. Wang Gang moved a stool and sat in the courtyard to chat with her.
Wang Gang looked at her and said, "Xiao Xiao, Uncle is going back to the city tomorrow. I've already told the captain about your schooling. He'll arrange it for you next spring. I've also arranged for you to work. You'll have to hunt for pig grass like the children in the village. One basket of pig grass will earn you two work points. You just have to collect one basket every day. You don't have to rely on this to support yourself. Now that you're still growing, you have to take good care of yourself."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard a man like Wang Gang nagging like an old woman, she did not feel frustrated at all. She only felt that it felt good to be cared for like this.
As they chatted, Lu Xiaoxiao saw Liu Baozhu return with a hatchet and an axe.
Wang Gang took the firewood knife from Liu Baozhu's hand and split the firewood with him. After the firewood was cut, he placed them all in the kitchen. Then, he extinguished the fire on the two beds and locked the door to bring her back to the captain's house.
