Chapter 28: The Wife of the Fifties (28)

  From that day on, Zhu Yun would be fully armed whenever she went out, to prevent the ultraviolet rays from causing any damage to her. Even when she was cooking, she would only show her bright and charming eyes.

  Everyone knew that she and Mr. Chu were getting married soon, and they would tease her from time to time, saying that she was seriously "waiting for marriage".

  For a month, they had not seen Zhu Yun's appearance, and she had even become an abstraction in their minds.

  Wang Xianbing gritted his teeth and scraped together 1,800 yuan to send to her, and the look in his eyes when he saw her was like a knife in an illusion array. Zhu

  Yun was not in the mood to argue with him now, and was just thinking about her savings.

  She had spent a total of more than 100 yuan in the past two months, and that was because she was so extravagant that she bought whatever she wanted. Similarly, her two months' salary and bonus was about 190 yuan, which meant that not only did her savings not go down, but she also had dozens of yuan in her account.

  Wang Xianbing gave her money twice, a total of 4,100 yuan.

  In addition to the savings book of 1,999 yuan, Chu's mother also gave her 500 yuan for clothes.

  That means she now has 6,600 yuan, which can buy seven or eight brick and tile farmhouses like the one she lives in!

  Thinking about the three-year famine that will begin next year, Zhu Yun felt that she had to dig an ice cellar in the yard to store food, meat, vegetables, and water.

  After all, this famine originated from a severe drought! I don't know how deep the well in the yard is and how long it can last.

  She decided to stock up on all kinds of food for this autumn harvest!
  However, this ice cellar must be dug now, and the workload is not small.

  Zhu Yun relied on the convenience of being a chef and asked the purchasing department to bring her two sets of tools, including a shovel, a pickaxe, a hammer, a chisel, etc.

  She went to work during the day, and at night when it was dark, Zhu Yun dug silently not far from the well.

  She observed that the water in the well was about ten meters from the ground and the water was sweet and refreshing.

  Since the master family dug a well here, they must have conducted many investigations, so it wouldn't be a big problem for her to dig an ice cellar. The entrance to the ice cellar happened to be under the eaves, so she could build a hollow stone table, which would be waterproof and perfectly hidden!

  Thanks to her great strength, Zhu Yun could make gratifying progress every night while wearing gloves.

  Outside the village, there were endless rocks, and naturally there were extensions underground.

  She used the gaps between the stones and dug out three stone chambers with a total area of ​​six square meters in just one month!

  Zhu Yun collected some stones from the mountain, dried some wood and weeds, and took measures to stabilize and simply keep warm.

  She exchanged some cement and bricks with the villagers, built a wall about 70 centimeters high at the entrance of the ice cellar, and put a heavy bluestone slab as a tabletop.

  Perfect!

  Zhu Yun looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction, and suddenly felt like a field mouse, digging holes and storing food...
