"Hey? Xiao Zong!" Uncle Mao also pulled him and said, "We have basically made this bed. Meimei told me a few days ago that there is a home furnishing mall not far to the south. She saw a lot of mattresses and beddings there. Do you think you can organize everyone to go and bring some back?"

"Okay!" Lin Zong nodded: "I'll take someone over to take a look later."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Zong." Uncle Mao said with a happy smile.

......

After lunch, everyone rested for a while, and then Lin Zong took Li Yuan and several other young and strong guys to the home furnishing city in the south.

The collapse of this home city was not very serious, and the rubble, broken floor boards and other items on it had already been cleared away by the three little beasts, Zhuolian, Yuncang and Fengxing, so there was no danger.

They followed the winding corridors in the mall and found an underground warehouse. In addition to a variety of mattresses, there were also many down quilts, quilts, blankets, pillows, sheets, and pillow covers, etc. It can be said that they got everything they wanted in one go and made a big profit.

After confirming the supplies, the progress of the townhouse was temporarily stopped. Everyone came here to move things. After several trips back and forth, they finally got all the bedding together.

Little ones like Meimei and Lily found a few plastic baskets from somewhere, which were filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, etc. that they had picked up while scavenging.

However, since this place is far away from the water source, three people have to take turns to go to the river outside the city with buckets to fetch water every day, and they can only bring back six buckets of river water each time.

After the river water is brought back, it will be filtered with a physical filter. Previously, the filter brought by Lin Zong and his team was lost, and now we are using the one brought by Li Wenbai and his team.

Part of the filtered water is used for cooking, and part is boiled into water and then put into buckets to cool, and then used to quench thirst while working during the day.

The remaining water will be distributed to each household for daily use, so water is used economically. After finishing work every day, the dust and sweat on the body are just wiped off with a wet towel, let alone washing the hair.

Moreover, after a major disaster, goods cannot enter the city, and the fastest consumed items are not only food but also daily necessities such as paper towels.

Behind the ruins, Uncle Mao had two dry toilets built with wooden boards, one for men and one for women.

Every time after going to the toilet, there is no paper towel, so I can only wash with water and then wipe dry with the towel I prepared.

This means there are more places to use water.

It's okay for men, but it will be more troublesome for women in this situation, especially during menstruation.

Without sanitary products, we can only imitate ancient methods, which is definitely troublesome, unhygienic, and can easily cause various gynecological diseases.

Now the doors and windows in Yunqing Palace have been installed, and we can move in normally after putting the furniture in.

The other furniture has not been built yet, but a bed is enough.

People from each household took their customized wooden beds back home and laid out the mattresses, quilts, pillows, etc. that they had personally selected and brought back.

After tidying up, they had the illusion that they were in another world. It had been a long time since they had rested so peacefully in their room, on the comfortable and wide bed.

For convenience, Grandma Li and Meimei's house was specially arranged on the first floor. Lin Zong and Li Yuan helped to carry the wooden bed in and placed it in a suitable position. Then they moved the mattress that had been brought back over and helped to place it on the bed.

Grandma Li was holding a pile of bedding and sheets, while Meimei had a pillow under each armpit and a small plastic basket on her arm, which contained the daily necessities and toys she had picked up during the past few days.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "Thank you two guys so much!"

"No trouble! Grandma, if you have any problems in the future, just come to me and Lin Zong." Li Yuan said, patting his chest.

“Thank you, thank you!” Grandma Li bowed her head and said to Meimei, “Hurry up and say thank you to your two brothers!”

Meimei immediately said obediently: "Thank you, Brother Lin Zong, thank you, Brother Li Yuan. When you are tired from work in the future, call me to bring you water!"

"Meimei is so good!" Li Yuan couldn't help but touch her head: "Listen to grandma, your brothers are leaving first."

After Lin Zong and the other man left, Grandma Li and Meimei began to make the bed. The sheets and quilts were all chosen by Meimei herself. The base was pink with beautiful butterflies on it.

As soon as the bed was made, Meimei lay on it: "Grandma, it's so soft!"

On this day everyone was busy moving into the new house and the project outside was temporarily put on hold. After packing up my things, I planned to have a nice rest in bed.

However, looking at the brand new and clean bedding, I suddenly felt that I was too dirty.

So, the crowd went in groups of two or three to fetch water outside the city. Some people even brought tents with them, planning to take a bath and wash clothes outside before fetching water back.

In other families, there is at least one able-bodied laborer, but in Grandma Li's family there are only her and Meimei.

Seeing that Grandma Li was also preparing to go out of the city to fetch water with Meimei, Lin Zong walked over and said, "Grandma Li, we are all out, and there is no one to look after the house. Why don't you and Meimei stay to look after the house, and Li Yuan and I will help you fetch water."

Grandma Li looked at him gratefully, knowing that he was helping her out because he was worried that the two of them wouldn't be able to carry the water. She thanked him repeatedly, "Thanks to you! Thank you so much!"

People went out of the city in twos and threes, with bright and comfortable smiles on their faces.

When the crowd walked out of the city, they happened to meet a group of people pushing a cart. The cart was loaded with luggage and was swaying on the dirt road.

It's obvious that they are people migrating to the imperial capital.

Li Wenbai and others saw that they looked haggard and weak in energy. They were obviously extremely exhausted, but still had to drag their heavy luggage and move forward with difficulty. This appearance reminded them of their past selves.

But now, they are well fed and well watered, and live in a warm house. Now they bring their families out to take a bath happily. For a moment, they feel mixed emotions.

If they had not chosen to stay, but insisted on going to the imperial capital, would their situation be even more miserable than these people?

As they looked at each other, the other was also looking at them.

Those people stopped, leaned weakly against the cart and looked at them.

They had rosy complexions, and there was constant laughter and joy in the crowd. They were very energetic, as if they were from two different worlds.

Have we arrived at the imperial capital?

The middle-aged man in the lead took out a map again to confirm the location. This shouldn't be Shulin City, right?

Their team was not large, consisting of three or four families, a total of about ten people.

After gathering together to discuss for a while, the middle-aged man in the lead decided to go over to say hello to Li Wenbai and the others and ask for directions.
