Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Zhang Youfan personally took Gu Tongwan to the new house that had been built earlier. It was less than fifty meters away and could be seen just by going up a slope.

The house was completed four months ago. Liu Jinde and several workers worked hard to renovate it, and finally built the wall two days before the heavy rain.

It was already late, and Gu Tongwan couldn't continue reminiscing with Zhang Youfan's family. In addition, Zhang Youfan and his son had been sweating profusely after staying outside for a while.

Zhang Youfan wiped the sweat from his forehead and frowned because of the heat. "The keys to the front door were kept with me. There are two keys for the yard, two keys for the inner door, and the rest of the keys to the bedroom and other rooms are still in the padlocks." As he said that, he handed a bunch of keys to Gu Tongwan.

"Thank you, village chief. I'll come to bother you again tomorrow morning." Gu Tongwan smiled gratefully. He watched the Zhang father and son gradually disappear into the night before he used the headlights of the electric car to see the lock clearly.

In fact, there were people who had their eyes on her house during this period, especially a family whose house was collapsed by a mudslide near the back mountain. They came to Zhang Youfan and wanted to temporarily live in the new house, but Zhang Youfan was a principled man. He had agreed to look after Gu Tongwan's house, so there was no reason for him to let someone else live there, so he rejected the family outright.

As a result, the other party was still crying and making a fuss the next day. Finally, Zhang Youfan couldn't stand it anymore and held an emergency village meeting. On the one hand, he stated that the ownership of the house belonged to Gu Tongwan. On the other hand, he mentioned the families affected by the mudslide. Miss Gu donated nearly 10,000 yuan to the affected villagers without hesitation at that time. Later, he mentioned the matter of Liu Xuechang in the village and directly and rudely named that family who didn't donate even a penny. They cried poor every day, but now it was their own family's turn to have an accident and they were thinking about how to take advantage of others.

The family was so embarrassed that their faces turned red, and many people in the village pointed fingers at them behind their backs. In the end, they tried to save their reputation and went back home in shame, and obediently completed the repair work of the house themselves.

There was a low-wattage incandescent lamp hung in the yard, which could barely illuminate the entire yard, which was about 30 square meters in size. The floor was paved with cement and it was very clean without any other garbage.

The house has only one floor. The windows and security doors have been installed as required, and the window glass uses anti-peeping patterns.

The house has a total space of 65 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. The walls inside have been puttyed and there is no extra furniture. However, there are two double beds in the room. Gu Tongwan had asked Liu Jinde to help purchase them before, and there are thick Simmons mattresses on the beds.

A wall lamp was installed in the corner, and the whole room was empty, but Gu Tongwan felt very satisfied at this moment. It was December now. If the development of this life was the same as the previous one, the base would be officially completed and opened in August next year, and around March next year, the base would send people to scout the location in advance. By then, a large number of scientific researchers and troops would be stationed in Xiaoxi Village.

Gu Tongwan stretched himself, took out the mat from the space and spread it on the Simmons mattress, and took out two cooling fans. It was not convenient to put an air conditioner here, so in order not to attract attention, he would install a vertical air conditioner in the room. As for the generator, he took it out and put it in the living room. After sticking the [silencer] on it, the sound was indeed reduced to a level that was not easily noticed. Moreover, it was not known whether the silencer had a deodorizing function for electrical products. The gasoline smell of the generator was also very light, and there was no unpleasant smell.

The cooling fan is not as fast as the air conditioner in cooling down the room. After putting a lot of ice packs in, it took almost half an hour for the temperature in the room to drop from the original 42 degrees to 30 degrees, but it was still hot enough to make me sweat.

While the temperature was dropping, she took out the curtains and hung them on the windows. On the one hand, it could block out the sun and prevent outsiders from seeing the lights inside. She swept the floor again and found a lot of rat droppings in the corners and the kitchen. It should be that the smart rats used this place as a resting nest when no one was around.

After Gu Tongwan cleaned the house thoroughly, he placed rat poison and insect repellent powder in the corners of the eaves and even in the yard.

Moreover, after Tutu and Aoao come in, their own breath can scare away mice and other creatures from approaching to a certain extent.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Gu Tongwan finally got his wish and slept in his own room. He was not really tired from the running around in the past few days, but no matter when he was in Zijing Community or outside, he did not feel completely at ease after arriving in Xiaoxi Village.

Because she knew that her goal was halfway achieved. Next year, the government would send people to plan Xiaoxi Village, and then ask everyone to sign the compensation and issue the "land certificate". Then she would no longer worry about not being able to enter the base or not having a place to live in the end times.

After a long sigh, Gu Tongwan no longer felt hungry and fell into a deep sleep with the cool breeze from the cooling fan.

The next morning, Zhang Mingguo came to deliver firewood to Gu Tongwan. He had collected firewood from the mountain that morning and carried a full basket on his back.

Thinking that she was a girl who had just arrived in Xiaoxi Village and would have to live here as a villager of Xiaoxi Village in the future without any support, Zhang Youfan specifically asked him to go into the mountains to chop more firewood and deliver it to the girl in the morning.

In addition to firewood, he also had five kilograms of rice and five kilograms of cornmeal that his wife had specially prepared for him in the morning. There were also two thousand kilograms of rice and several hundred kilograms of millet and soybeans in the family warehouse. Even if there was another natural disaster in the future, these would be enough for the family to save for many years.

Gu Tong got up at around six in the evening and was doing a set of military boxing in the yard as his morning exercise when he suddenly heard Ao Ao calling out a few times, and then he heard a burst of footsteps outside.

Then there was a knock on the door, "Miss Gu, are you home?"

Gu Tongwan was not wearing tights when she was in the house. She was only wearing a set of summer home clothes. She wiped the sweat from her neck with a towel before going to open the door.

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

Seeing Zhang Mingguo holding large and small bags in his hands and a basket of firewood at his feet, he was a little surprised.

"You helped our Xiaoxi Village a lot during the rainstorm. These are not good things. Consider them as a small gift from our family to you. By the way, my father will invite you to have a meal at our house tonight, although it will be simple food."

Gu Tongwan didn't refuse pretentiously, and took the things with a smile, "Actually, I want to thank you and your family for taking care of the house for me for such a long time."

Zhang Mingguo grinned and said, "Then I'll leave first. I have to go back and thresh the wheat in the warehouse."

After Zhang Mingguo left, Gu Tongwan turned around and entered the yard.

He took out a gas stove and put a pot on it from the space, and cooked a pot of corn porridge with the two taels of rice and a spoonful of cornmeal given by the other party.

He cut twenty kilograms of pork that was harvested from the pig farm for Aoao and Tutu in the space, and then had corn porridge, pickled mustard and two fried eggs for breakfast.

In such hot weather, drinking porridge is the most suitable.

After breakfast at around 7:30, Gu Tongwan found ten boxes of self-heating hot pot, three canned meats, and some chocolates and biscuits that she had received at the convenience store, and put them directly into a black plastic bag. She asked Aoao and Tutu to watch the house in the yard while she took the things and went directly to the village chief's house.

At this time, a simple sunshade was set up in the Zhang family's yard with waterproof cloth. Everyone was busy using threshers to thresh the wheat ears in the warehouse. This work had been going on for two days, and they could only work for one or two hours a day. Otherwise, they were worried that they would not be able to withstand the scorching sun if they worked for a long time.

Yangmei takes care of the children in the house. From time to time, she will leave the children to play by themselves in the house, and she will occasionally help.

In fact, it was not only Zhang Youfan's family who were busy threshing the wheat ears. Other families also wanted to take advantage of the period when it stopped raining to quickly finish the threshing work.

After all, God is moody now. After several months of rain, it has been hot for almost twenty days. No one knows whether it will continue to rain in the future. They are really scared by this extreme weather.

Gu Tongwan stepped into the yard and stuffed the thing directly into Liu Jinhua's hand, saying with a smile: "Aunt, take this."

Liu Jinhua glanced down, then quickly grabbed Gu Tongwan's wrist, looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was around, she whispered, "Kid, why are you still bringing things here? Take them back quickly."

There weren't many things in the bag, but the self-heating hotpot, compressed biscuits and snacks were things that couldn't be bought with money at the moment. The only grocery store in the village had all its items cleared out during the heavy rain, and the owner was so scared that he quickly closed the store the next day. The tailors complained that they had no stock left.

Therefore Liu Jinhua knew how rare this bag of items was.

Everyone knew that she was isolated and helpless in Xiaoxi Village. Liu Jinhua had always had a good impression of Gu Tongwan. Knowing that she had such feelings for her, she felt a little warm in her heart, but at the same time she didn't want to take advantage of the girl.

Gu Tongwan pushed the bag over again and said with a smile, "Aunt, it's just a little gift from me. I have more at home. Besides, Brother Zhang gave me a lot of things this morning. I feel uneasy if I only take things from your house."

Liu Jinhua moved her lips and was about to refuse, but she heard Zhang Youfan beside her suddenly say, "Take it. This is also Xiao Gu's intention."

Only then was Liu Jinhua willing to accept it, but the curve of her mouth was almost reaching her ears, and she casually changed her name to Gu Tongwan "Wanwan".

Liu Jinhua asked her daughter-in-law Yang Mei to come into the house, handed the things to her, and then instructed: "You can give some of the biscuits and chocolates to An An, and you can lock the rest in the bedside table. Don't tell anyone that we have these things at home, otherwise it will make people jealous for no reason."

"Mom, I know." Yang Mei was smart and she knew that these things should not be shown off and must not be known to others. However, she was a little surprised that a little girl like Gu Tongwan could actually ride from Jiangcheng to Xiaoxi Village on a small electric scooter. It was said that the outside world had been in chaos for a long time and she might even encounter wild beasts on the road. When she heard that her parents were both gone, she felt even more sympathetic.

Gu Tongwan had never tried threshing wheat ears before, and she was a person who liked to try new things, so she was eager to give it a try.

I was not very skilled at using the machine at first, but after getting the hang of it I found it quite fun.

Just when everyone in the yard was working hard, suddenly an anxious cry was heard.

"Is Fan's wife here? Fan's wife is here!"

The person who came was Wu Qiaofang, the wife of the Wang family in the village, who had good relations with the Zhang family. She walked in hurriedly, her cotton shirt had been soaked with sweat, and her chest was also wet. However, she could not care about these things at the moment. She was anxious and rushed to Liu Jinhua as soon as she came in, saying anxiously: "You are Fan's wife, please come with me to the Fang family, Fang Daguo's daughter-in-law is having a difficult delivery!"
