Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 259 The swimming pool is ready
The real high-income earners are Yan Bugui and the fathers of Shazhu and Shamao. The cooks can get some food to supplement their lives.

The salary standard of the projectionist who shows movies is much higher than that of a technical staff in a factory, at least four or five hundred thousand yuan.

You can also watch movies for free.

Yan Bugui’s salary as a primary school teacher is more than 300,000 yuan, and he also has some hidden benefits, such as being able to eat lunch in school.

My own children can go to school free of tuition.

Every industry has its own benefits, but everyone avoids talking about them.

………………

The Willys Jeep squeaked to a stop at the gate of the yard, and Zhang Kaiwu took Liu Lan out of the car.

Zhang Kaiwu opened the gate of his yard and walked in.

The yard was cleaned very well, and Zhang Kaiwu checked everywhere.

In the small vegetable garden in the yard, we also grow small vegetables such as peppers and tomatoes.

It is not the season yet, and the fruits have not yet appeared. It just looks lush and beautiful.

Rich families plant gardens at home, and poor families plant vegetable gardens at home. These are traditions.

I looked inside the swimming pool and it was still an empty pool with no water at all.

Zhang Kaiwu ran to look at the well again, trying to figure out how to fill it with water, only to discover something even more ridiculous.

How to fill this swimming pool?
Do I have to fetch water from the well?
There is no electricity in Nanluoguxiang, let alone running water. There is no well in the yard, so even the water for daily use has to be carried.

Even if Zhang Kaiwu went to get a water pump, there was no electricity in Nanluoguxiang right now! ?
He silently calculated the volume of the swimming pool and found that it would require at least one hundred cubic meters of water to swim. He realized that it was simply nonsense to carry water in with a bucket!

Liu Lan followed him curiously, watching the excitement everywhere.

It was her first time here, but she had heard Sister Huairu talk about it several times.

Zhang Kaiwu went to take a look at the master bedroom. Although no one lived there, it was clean enough.

Nanny Wang and Father Mu are also very reliable people.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at the big kang and found that it was almost the same size as the one in Chen Xueru's house. He estimated that it could easily accommodate six or seven people.

The big kangs in Beijing are actually like this, and can sleep at least four or five people. Family members sleep sideways, and the whole family can sleep in a row, all in order to save firewood!
Zhang Kaiwu was a little confused. Sha Zhu and the others' room should be a standard master bedroom, which was the room of the great nobles in the past.

But Shazhu slept on a wooden bed. The temperature in Beijing was so low in winter that it was not uncommon for it to be minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Could it be that the nobleman in the past couldn’t even afford a beautiful kang in the master bedroom? ?

Zhang Kaiwu tried it out by lying on the big kang in his home, and it felt pretty good, as it could accommodate eight or nine people.

Looking at the silly girl Liu Lan next to him, he pulled her over, gave her a kiss, and asked her to practice her drinking skills.

He lit a cigarette, played with two small walnuts, and silently thought about how to fill the swimming pool with water.

There must be a way. When Zhang Kaiwu is alone, he can use the storage space to run to Shichahai and fill it with one-fifth of water.

It’s not appropriate to go get water today, Liu Lan is playing here.

There are still a few missing large lounge chairs next to the swimming pool, otherwise it would not have the atmosphere of a wealthy family.

According to the habit of Beijingers to call water the sea, wells are beautifully called sea eyes, so what should this swimming pool be called! ?

Pond Sea! ?

We can’t let the girls who went into the sea come ashore and squat there in a row, right? ?
I don’t have a swimsuit now, but I don’t need one at home. It’s a burden!

Zhang Kaiwu threw away his cigarette butt, played with two small walnuts, and watched Sister Lan busy there.

It was a hot afternoon and the temperature was very high.

Zhang Kaiwu was busy arranging things for Xiaojiu and the others these days, and he fell asleep unconsciously while lying there.

I took a nap and dreamt about a female fairy.

He had a big fight with her and beat her until she screamed.

The female demon was not jealous, she bit his arm...

He shuddered with fear and tried desperately to beat her to death to make her let go.

When I woke up, I saw Liu Lan, a charming girl, cleaning the place.

Seeing that he had woken up, Liu Lan blushed and said:
"Brother Kaiwu! You're awake."

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her little head. This girl is good and very obedient.

He smiled and said:

"Sister Lan! You are really good. I like your seriousness and responsibility in getting things done."

Liu Lan blushed and said:

"Brother Kaiwu! I like you too, I'm not afraid of being tired."

Ha ha ha ha ha!
It seems that Liu Lan is still a diligent girl and has not turned into two big gangsters like Huairu.

It's getting late!
After tidying up his clothes, Zhang Kaiwu took Liu Lan and prepared to go back.

Outside the yard, He Yushui, who had just finished school, was watching the car for him again. He climbed on the car and wrote "one by one", probably doing his homework.

There used to be a large group of children surrounding them, but now there are obviously fewer of them, with only a few little kids left.

I guess those older children, just like what He Yushui said, all became apprentices in various fields.

He Yushui saw him and said excitedly:

"Big brother! I've gone to school. My grades are very good and the teachers all praise me."

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her little head, gave her a candy, and stuffed a handful of candy into her schoolbag.

He Daqing's hands and feet were not very agile, and the schoolbag was obviously a flour cloth bag stolen from the factory, which had "Lou's Iron Factory" written on it.

He Daqing cut a half section of a chalk bag into a schoolbag and sewed two cloth straps with needle and thread.

The inside of the schoolbag was also clean and tidy, with two books, two notebooks, a knife and a pencil.

He smiled and said:

"Sister Yushui! Has your father not beaten you recently? If he dares to be mean to you, just tell me and let me beat him up."

The energy value increased by five points!
He looked at Liu Lan who was watching seriously and stuffed a candy into her mouth. Liu Lan gave him a silly smile.

He Yushui smiled and said:

"My dad won't beat me. If he gets angry, he'll beat my stupid brother. Thank you for the candy!"

Good! After reading, Yushui has become much more sensible and has learned to say thank you.

He Daqing didn't hit her, maybe because she was too young. If he hit her with this punch, she would probably cry for a long time! ?
After bidding farewell to He Yushui and watching her reluctantly go home, Zhang Kaiwu drove to Qianmen Street and found a furniture store that sold chairs.

I ordered ten bamboo lounge chairs and a large bamboo bed from the shopkeeper, gave him the money, and agreed to come and pick up the things tomorrow.

Liu Lan muttered to herself:

"Boss! We bought so many reclining chairs. Are your reclining chairs of good quality? There are so many people in our house. Don't let them collapse!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said:

"Don't worry! Senior Zhang is the owner of our Qianmen Street. How could I destroy my own signboard?"

"Although this recliner is made of bamboo, it is made of bamboo that is more than three years old and has been steamed and dried. It will not be eaten by insects and is very sturdy."

"It's no problem for three people to sleep on it! If you don't believe me, just try it right here. If it collapses, I'll give it all away for free."

Liu Lan blushed and said:
"What's wrong with you, boss? Who would sleep with three people on top of it?"

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed the red-faced fool, handed a cigarette to the shopkeeper, chatted with him for a few words before leaving!
Zhang Kaiwu's fame is as good as money on Qianmen Street. Which shopkeeper would cheat him?
He took Liu Lan to the department store and bought some bleach, which he planned to use to disinfect the swimming pool.

We also have to think about how to salvage the sediment after the swimming pool is disinfected! ?

Taking care of all these little things has helped me feel a lot better about leaving.

What the hell is a woman!?
As long as you have money, they will be like vine seeds floating in the wind, all wanting to lean against your big tree.

Shelter from the wind and rain, relying on you to survive.

.....................

After returning home, Baofeng came to see the master a little later, but he beat her so hard that she ran away whimpering. A little later, Ladi and her sister came to see him again, shouting desperately:

"Yeah! Don't be afraid! I'm not afraid, Brother Kaiwu, just keep trying!"

I finally knocked him unconscious.

Sister Huizhen came over again and comforted him, saying:
"Brother Kaiwu! Come at us if you have the strength, woooo, woooo, we are not afraid!"

After a while, Sister Huizhen had not fainted yet, and her sister-in-law and her elder sister came running over with Sister Huairu.

Zhang Kaiwu noticed that his sister-in-law's facial expression was abnormal. They were using the tactic of adding fuel to the fire. It was probably his sister-in-law who was the military advisor.

Looking at his smiling sister-in-law, he pinned her down and beat her up twice.

My sister-in-law rolled her eyes and fainted.

Looking at Director Qin who was smiling beside him, he also picked him up and beat him up twice.

Afraid that he would be tired from beating people, the young lady gently massaged him, holding his shoulders and thighs.

She wiped his sweat with a towel and served him tea. She whispered softly:

"Kaiwu! Don't be impatient, take your time, and don't tire yourself out. Drink some water first, and let Huairu do it herself."

"Liu Lan! Hurry up and get a fan over there, turn on the air for the fight, that electric fan is not good for you if it blows too much!"

Stunned, Liu Lan quickly said:
"Okay! I'll get it right away. Brother Kaiwu, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat?"

………………

The next morning, after practicing the farm tricks, he left Sister Liu Lan, who was bringing him breakfast, and asked her to go to class.

Zhang Kaiwu drove to Qianmen Street alone, and took the recliners, bamboo beds and other items from the furniture store owner, and dragged them to Nanluoguxiang.

I threw those things next to the swimming pool, found a room to take out the things in the storage space, and drove to Shichahai.

We found a deserted place to park the jeep, squatted by the lake, filled 200 cubic meters of lake water, and poured it into the indoor swimming pool.

He gestured and set the water level to 1.5 meters, and used the remaining water to water the vegetable garden.

I picked up the things I had thrown away and put them back together.

After calculating the ratio, I threw some bleach into the swimming pool and stirred it, watching the pool start to become turbid.

It will take some time to wait.

Zhang Kaiwu, holding a cigarette in his mouth, went to see the mother of the young lady and chatted with her about her parents. The old scholar went to school to attend classes and did not dare to delay for too long, fearing that others would gossip.

He ran to the nearby yard and looked at Huairu's mother and father.

There is no way!
There are so many mothers-in-law that it’s hard to address them all using traditional methods.

Zhang Kaiwu handed Qin Huairu's father a cigarette and asked with a smile:
"Dad! I've been here for so long. Have you figured out the number of widows in Nanluoguxiang? Is there any family that needs help?"

There was nothing else to give. Qin Huairu's brothers were also in the warehouse. They usually took a lot of things from Huairu with a grin on their faces, so there was no shortage of food and drink at home.

Qin Huairu's mother smiled and said:

"How dare he! Break his legs! Kaiwu! You should just come here to play, why did you bring him cigarettes!? His sons bought him enough, he can't even finish them all."

"He likes to hang out and doesn't want to stay home to take care of the kids. He often spends the whole morning buying vegetables. Now that you mentioned the widow, he runs even harder."

Qin Huairu's father smiled and said:
"What are you talking about in front of Kaiwu!? I just went there to see what's going on and compare whose vegetables are cheaper. Am I that kind of person?"

Qin Jingru and her brother were also playing here. Her father was about the same age as her uncle's eldest son! !

Even though their life was better now, with no shortage of food and drink, Qin Jingru still had a great affection for him. When she saw him, she hugged her legs and sweetly shouted:

"Brother Kaiwu! I miss you so much!"

Zhang Kaiwu squatted down, rubbed her little head and gave her a candy.

He chatted with Qin Huairu's parents and watched Qin Jingru and her brother playing there.

The child next to her who is older than her, the child of Qin Huairu's elder brother, has to call Qin Jingru aunt!
Zhang Kaiwu played there for a while. It was quite funny to see his nephew having to take care of his little aunt while she played games.

Maybe it was Qin Huairu's father who suffered. Although there were many widows in Nanluogu, they had no place to chop firewood.

There is no place to dry clothes, and it lacks some of the fun of rural life.

The problem is, Qin Huairu's father won't ask Widow Jia for help, right?
It's very possible! I just don't know if Qin Huairu's father will go into the cellar and climb the mountain.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
After two hours, he thought the water in the swimming pool was almost disinfected, so he went back home.

The water in the swimming pool has become crystal clear after being disinfected for so long, but there is an extra layer of scale at the bottom.

There are no underwater vacuum cleaners for cleaning up garbage.

This task was not difficult for Zhang Kaiwu. He gently stepped into the water from the ladder beside him, and used the storage space to slowly clean up the garbage from the bottom, and cleaned up the place thoroughly.

After getting ashore, they poured the dirty water into the ditch beside the yard and flushed it onto the street.

Poor Nanluoguxiang, there isn’t even a sewer now.

He drove back home and told the girls that the swimming pool at home was ready. The girls were very excited.

It just so happens that tomorrow is Sunday, and it's only a little past four o'clock, which is very early. A group of people can't hold back any longer. Zhang Kaiwu ran to call Tian Zao and a few others, and also called Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e dropped her homework book at home and shouted excitedly to her parents:
"I won't be back tonight. Senior Zhang is going to take us out to play tomorrow and take me to learn swimming!"

She ran away, leaving Lou Bancheng and Lou Tanshi staring at each other.

After the other children in the family ran away, Lou Xiao'e became the baby of the family. The family felt a little lonely after she ran away.

Lou Xiao'e's mother quickly stood on the balcony and shouted at Lou Xiao'e:

"Be polite! Don't act too crazy at Senior Zhang's house. Be good at building relationships!"

Lou Xiao'e waved her hand without even turning her head, saying:

"I know! I'm not stupid!"

Lou Bancheng muttered:
"Tanya! Why don't you want her to be careful and not have a child?"

Mother Lou smiled and said:

"Wouldn't it be better if you had a child? You're really worrying about nothing!"

Lou Bancheng muttered a few words, so quietly that he couldn't even hear himself.

Of course it’s better to have children!
...............

Zhang Kaiwu took a group of people to Nanluoguxiang for vacation. Since they were going to stay there at night, he and his sister-in-law parked the car in the garage.

June is about to begin, and Beijing has entered the small dry season. The weather is already very hot!

After closing the gate of the yard, the girls rushed into the swimming pool, throwing their clothes all over the floor. Within ten minutes, they fell in love with this small swimming pool.

The crystal clear pool water is particularly attractive in this hot season.

Of course Zhang Kaiwu likes it more, otherwise why would he go through so much trouble? ?
This was the first time for Huairu and her friends to seriously learn how to swim. Zhang Kaiwu acted as their coach and demonstrated the correct posture to them.

Teach this for a while, teach that for a while.

Sister Li Xiulan was the smallest and the most timid. She was afraid of being drowned, so she climbed on this person and then that person.

The energy value was rising slowly, and Zhang Kaiwu discovered that the energy value of this strange girl had reached 200 points! !

The young ladies' sisters had good figures, which was simply a bit poisonous to Li Xiulan.

Overall, everyone had a great time!
Zhang Kaiwu simply prepared a dinner in the evening. Everyone had been playing in the water for a long time and were already starving, so they ate with great relish.

There was no electric light at night and the kerosene lamp was too dim, so we had to go to bed early.

After getting used to the research institute, no one was used to the kerosene lamps. I was a little scared to be squeezed on the big kang, which was still a little crowded.

The girls got up in the morning and after breakfast they went out to play in the water.

Girls of this generation have never seen a swimming pool, and no one dares to go outside to play in the water.

The key is that there is no swimsuit!
We didn't go out the whole day. We just closed the door and played in the water. When we were tired, we climbed up to lie on the recliner and ate some snacks. We played and made noises and the whole day passed.

The girls were tired from playing, and Zhang Kaiwu was tired from working.
