Rebirth in the 1970s with Space

Chapter 49 Heavy Rain

Just as Zhang Qingzhu was writing the prescription and Zhang Qingsong was memorizing the knowledge points, the gloomy weather turned into lightning and thunder. Then there was a strong wind and heavy rain.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingzhu had foresight and moved the desk placed under the window inside before writing. He also lit candles to make the room brighter and used candlesticks with lampshades. Although the strong wind came suddenly, the light source in the room was not affected.

Zhang Qingzhu closed the doors and windows of her house in the morning because the weather was gloomy. Because the weather was hot and humid, the doors and windows of their study were open, intending to see if it would rain later. She would decide whether to close the door or not depending on the situation.

After the thunder, a strong wind came. Seeing the raindrops entering the house, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong did not react too much and continued to do their own work. The rain only entered the house a little bit and could not affect the two people inside the house.

It rained heavily today. At noon, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong ate the steamed buns and pickles that Zhang Qingzhu had placed in the study room. The rain didn't get any lighter until the evening.

Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong took the opportunity to go back to the main house with umbrellas. Zhang Qingsong stayed at Zhang Qingzhu's place today. He didn't take everything with him when he left two days ago.

Zhang Qingzhu woke up the next morning and saw that the rain outside showed no sign of stopping, so he wrote down the relevant knowledge of ten kinds of herbs for Zhang Qingsong and asked Zhang Qingsong to write them down first. Then he continued to write medicine prescriptions without being affected by the weather outside.

When Zhang Qingzhu was taking a break at noon and cooking, he found some inconvenient places in his house after the rain. He planned to renovate the house, after all, he would live here for a long time. After cleaning it up, he would feel comfortable living there.

After dinner, Zhang Qingzhu and Zhang Qingsong went back to their rooms for a nap, and Zhang Qingzhu took out a pen and paper to plan the house. According to Zhang Qingzhu's plan, each house should have a corridor in front, so that it would not be rained on when going back and forth.

The compacted earth floor at home needed to be covered with wooden flooring. It was not realistic to find a large piece of wood, but small pieces could be put together. There were many trees in the mountains, and with her ability, it was no problem for her to find a few dead trees in the mountains.

The pebbles in the yard also need to be fixed in place, otherwise it's fine when it rains lightly, but when it rains heavily, it's like there's no pebbles. Now it's like there's no pebbles, they're all in the mud.

Zhang Qingzhu thought that if he wanted to do what he wanted, he had to get bricks and cement. Zhang Qingzhu didn't want to use the earth bricks used in the village, so both blue bricks and red bricks were fine. With cement, he could paint the cobblestones inside and outside the house and in the yard, so that the soil underneath wouldn't flow away with the rain.

After the rain, the pebbles in the yard and the yellow mud outside the house were somewhat lost. It would be better to camouflage it with yellow mud after applying cement. But there is no cement bricks and tiles in the village, so we can only find a way ourselves.

These things can be made in her space, but she can't explain where they come from. There are many people staring at her now, and recently she can feel someone staring at her from time to time. Fortunately, she has mental power and can know where there are people in advance, so it is easy to avoid other people's sight inadvertently.

But it would be a bit troublesome to sneak some bricks, tiles, cement and other things out under the noses of these people.

Thinking of Xiang Hao's current residence in the Chinese herbal medicine research team, which is still under construction. These cement bricks and tiles should be available everywhere, but I don't know if some can be allocated to her.

In addition, Zhang Qingzhu looked at the recipe for firing bricks and cement that he had found, and thought about the resources of the Zhangjiapo Brigade.

He was going to let Zhang Qingsong hand the recipe to Zhang Xue, thinking that Zhang Xue, as the brigade leader, should know what to do. In this way, he made two preparations and saw if it would work.

If that doesn't work, we can only go to the mountain to chisel stones. Although this is a little troublesome, it's just a little troublesome. As for cement, we can only use glutinous rice paste instead. This is the last choice. Zhang Qingzhu feels that he should not go this far.

Looking at the decoration at home, when she first put up newspapers, she thought everyone did it, so she followed suit. However, after a few days of trial use, she found that the ink on the wall would fall off, which was still a disadvantage.

Seeing the bamboo woven mats on the kang, I wondered if I could put them on the wall. I also remembered the bamboo and straw woven ones I saw on the Internet before the end of the world. I decided to ask Zhang Qingsong if there were any experts like him in Zhangjiapo Brigade. I could exchange some bamboo and straw woven ones to decorate the house.

Zhang Qingzhu thought about it and sorted out the recipes for making bricks, tiles and cement to see if there were any words that shouldn't appear. Then he used the processing plant to make a slightly worn booklet and took it to find Zhang Qingsong.

Unlike Zhang Qingzhu's family, which was well prepared, the courtyard where the Chinese herbal medicine research team members lived was in a mess.

This group of people got up early in the morning and started to criticize Zhang Qingsong for his inaction. They waited for others to make breakfast, and no one closed the doors and windows.

The rain came so fast that before they could react, the rain had already poured into the house, soaking their clothes and bedding. Some people who hadn't gotten up yet were directly drenched by the rain. Complaints and impatient curses were heard everywhere in the yard.

The neighbors all complained in their hearts. In the past two days, Zhang Qingsong had been going in and out of this yard with the people inside, and the villagers saw it all. When this group of people were talking and complaining about Zhang Qingsong, they didn't lower their voices, and the neighbors all heard it clearly.

After the heavy rain, rumors spread in the village that the new members of the Chinese herbal medicine research team looked down on the villagers. This made the members of the Chinese herbal medicine research team pay a lot of money when they exchanged things in the village.

Every time they exchanged things, they had to pay two to three times more than the educated youth, and the educated youth had to pay twice as much as the villagers.

Many times, when the members of the Chinese herbal medicine research team wanted to exchange eggs for hard currency, they often couldn't. Every time they asked, the villagers would say that they didn't have any at home. If they could exchange eggs once out of five times, it was considered good.

The rain continued for three days. The educated youth and the members of the Chinese herbal medicine research team did not prepare much firewood, so eating became a big problem. When the rain stopped, the firewood they collected was wet and could not be used directly. It also took time to dry it.

These people could only exchange some dry firewood from the village at a high price, which made the villagers make a lot of money. Especially the Chinese herbal medicine research team, they had just arrived and were not very clear about the prices in the village. In addition, there was a rumor in the village that they looked down on the villagers, which made them targeted by the villagers.

Although it was raining outside, it did not stop the villagers from gossiping. They finally had a break because of the rain, and they could not go out for entertainment.

During the three days of rain, the villagers talked about the new educated youth and the new members of the Chinese herbal medicine research team two or three times from beginning to end.
