20 - Chapter Twenty




When they arrived, a group of people at the intersection were working feverishly, the men were repairing over there, the women were under the big willow tree and cementing these things, and children were passing bricks around.
Lu Jianye saw them over and put down his hands and came over to greet them, "Why don't you two take a break more?"
Lu Bachuan said, "I'll come over when I wake up, and I'll feel at ease if I finish early."
Lu Jianye nodded and said, "Also right." Then he pointed to the place where the construction was underway and said to Zhou Yan, "How is it, is it okay?"
When Zhou Yan just came over, he had already seen that the concrete road was artificially smashed open about a meter in width, which should be a section of the foundation dug into the ground, and the foundation had already been filled in, leaving only two neat rows of steel bars standing there in front and back, with three rows of tree trunks planted in the middle of the two rows of steel bars.
Even though he only saw this prototype, Zhou Yan could imagine how sturdy the final product would be. A wall with a thickness of nearly one meter and reinforced with so many rebar and tree trunks, even the walls of the base where he was in his last life could not be compared.
Not to be outdone, he exclaimed, "This sturdiness, even if a truck were to hit it, it wouldn't be damaged in the slightest!"
Lu Jianye raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course, I originally wanted to plant the part of the tree trunks all over the place with steel reinforcement, but then I saw that everyone's families got together and could only barely repair the front and back walls, so I had to reluctantly bring over the tree trunks that everyone used to support the beams in their houses." A pause and then continued: "But then, it's impossible to build too high, it's more than three meters at most, not more than four meters."
Zhou Yan thought about it, the wall of the base he was in in his last life seemed to be only three meters high, and he had never heard of a zombie being able to climb over the wall to get in, so he thought that this high would be enough, so he nodded and said, "The height should be enough." Then he made a little joke and said, "We, in the south, haven't seen anyone two meters tall, and if you jump over three meters, even if you become a zombie, you won't grow any taller, right?"
Lu Jianye haha, quite agreeable.
Zhou Yan saw that one after another people were rushing back from dinner, and those who were busy were also replaced to go back to eat, so he said: "Uncle Jianye hasn't eaten yet, right? You go home and eat first, I'm going to work too."
Lu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, then you go, see how the repairs are going, and remind me if there are any mistakes."
Not knowing what was going on, he had an inexplicable sense of trust in this young man who came back with Lu Bachuan, and his intuition told him that listening to this young man would definitely not be wrong.
After Lu Jianye left, Zhou Yan walked over to the wall that was being built.
At this time, Lu Baichuan was holding a brick with a bricklaying knife to the wall, and it could be seen that it was his first time doing this kind of work, which was clumsy and inefficient.
Zhou Yan saw the situation and walked over to hand over a brick and asked, "Why are you doing this too?"
Lu Bachuan took the brick and said without looking up, "There were only two skilled veterans in the village, and another one was just replaced back for dinner, so if everyone wants to fix this wall outside before it gets dark, someone has to come over and help."
Zhou Yan didn't look closely before and only saw four or five people building the wall on this side, but now upon closer inspection, he found that there was indeed only one person who was very skilled, the others were rusty in their techniques.
Zhou Yan saw him place one brick down and it would take a while just to align it, thinking that he had experience in building walls in his past life, he said: "I'll do it! You can just pass me the brick beside you."
Lu Bachuan looked skeptical, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows: "How can a man say no!"
He said he took the tool in Lu Baichuan's hand, picked some connecting two bricks in the bucket on top of the plaster, etc. After putting the bricks on, he knocked a little with the handle of the tool in his hand, fixed the bricks, and then scraped off the overflowing plaster, the action was clean and neat, and raised his chin proudly to Lu Baichuan after finishing.
Lu Baichuan saw his set of actions down, without mud, can not help but curious: "I have not seen you do this before? How are you so skilled?"
Zhou Yan said, "And you don't think about what my original job is?"
Lu Baichuan was even more confused, "Yardstick?"
Zhou Yan smiled brightly and said, "Right! Yards and yards of bricks, aren't they both yards?"
Lu Baichuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense for a moment, and concentrated on handing him something beside him.
By the time the group of people who had gone to eat returned, it was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the hottest time of the day, with the sun shining brightly and making people sweat.
Lu Jianye saw that the progress was fine, and let the children and women go to rest under the tree, leaving the men to continue their work on this side.
Lu Baichuan saw Zhou Yan's cheeks were red from the sun, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and when they came over at noon, there were only two hats for Lu Jianye and Ye Yuanrong.
The first time I saw him was when he was in the hospital.
When Zhou Yan saw that he had given the straw hat to him, he said, "You can wear it, I won't get sun!"
Lu Bachuan didn't have the good sense to say, "Your face is red, and you still say you don't want to tan!" The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past few years, and is now in the process of developing the new product. "
Lu Baichuan saw that although he was only wearing a simple T-shirt and a simple straw hat, but the sweat flowed down from the forehead, flowed over the cheeks, gathered on the chin again, and finally couldn't bear the weight of the direct drip, and the usual image is very similar, but it was deadly s*xy.
Not to gulp and say, "Do you want me to wipe your sweat?"
Zhou Yan was already holding something in both hands, inconvenient to wipe the sweat, is suffering, hearing him ask, naturally begging for it, directly raised his chin, a face directly to poke in front of Lu Bachuan's eyes.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public, and to help the public understand the importance of the products and services.
After wiping, he was afraid of hurting him and asked apologetically, "How is it?"
Zhou Yan made an expression of wanting to say something and teased him a bit before saying, "It smells like sweat!"
Lu Bachuan thought it hurt him, but it was this, so he said, "The towel I wiped sweat on, isn't the smell of sweat difficult or perfume?"
Zhou Yan understood and took over, "I was wrong, it's not the smell of sweat, it's the smell of sweat!"
When Lu Bachuan heard him say that, he couldn't help but think that their recent conversations were becoming more and more childish, and intellectually felt that they should be a little more mature, but in his heart he felt very happy, and even felt that it was fine to be a little more childish.
As a matter of fact soon Ye Yuanrong came over with a water bottle, along with the belated arrival of Lu Baiming.
The two of them put down their hands on the work, planning to go to the big willow tree to drink some water to take a breather.
Ye Yuanrong was using a water heater to fill the well water directly, this way it was still icy cold to bring over.
After Lu Bachuan took the canteen, he first poured a cup of water to Zhou Yan, who received the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Bachuan even said, "You drink slowly, be careful of choking and heat stroke!"
Zhou Yan smiled and said that it was fine.
Everyone was busy, and the two of them didn't rest for long after drinking the water, so they went on over to work.
But they saw that Lu Baiming was building a wall where they had been working before, only his skills were not even as good as Lu Baichuan's.
Their wall is built into a two-layer sandwich, a row of rebar in the middle of the two layers of bricks, separated by a distance between the two layers of bricks placed vertically between a brick, to maintain the most stable state, but Lu Baiming is put in the outermost layer of bricks are rowed and rowed.
Seeing Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan over, but also couldn't help but want to derp a bit, raised the tool in his hand and said: "How is it, I'm not bad at it, right?"
Before Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan could retort, they heard an uncle who had been working next to them puff out a laugh and said, "Baiming boy, if that's what you can call skill, then all the children in our village have skill in their hands."
Lu Baiming accosted with a smile, "Isn't this my first time?"
That uncle, however, would not let him off the hook and pointed at Zhou Yan and said, "It's the first time for people too!"
Lu Baiming looked disbelieving and handed the tool in his hand to Zhou Yan, indicating that he was good at it!
Zhou Yan naturally wouldn't push it, even if Lu Baiming didn't give it to him, he would still want it over, now that he was already in a hurry, of course it was whoever was quicker would be on it.
And Lu Bachuan continued the previous division of labor.
Lu Baiming, however, looked incredulous beside him: "Your previous job was to build walls, right?"
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be the most handsome and popular wall repairer in S. I was the most popular wall repairer on the net!"
Lu Baiming but couldn't help but want to bite his tongue, knowing that he couldn't say it every time, but always wanted to squeeze.
The next uncle but regardless of their side a nonsense, see Lu Beming free to laugh and say: "Since your technology dry can not main, why not come to pass me something?". When it came to the word technology, it couldn't help but accentuate the accent.
A village of people working together, finally in the evening, the outermost wall was repaired, everyone looked at can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least tonight no need to worry.
As for the back wall and the top of the wall, there was no need to hurry, we could take our time to fix it a few days later.
For the sake of caution, Lu Jianye had still arranged for someone to come over to guard at night, only it was none of Zhou Yan's business.
Under the rays of the sun, a village of people dragged their tired bodies home, but the smiles on everyone's faces were reassuring.
The author has something to say: a little bit of a cold today, slept until now, finished point.
