When Wang Jianguo heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he said to Erhua's father with joy:

"Uncle Cheng, is that true? This is really great news."

Cheng Erhua's father, Cheng Si, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said honestly:

"Hey, I just learned some skills from the village master when I was young. My skills are nothing special. It's just that the villagers respect me and don't despise my little ability."

Wang Jianguo has a clear mind and he knows the craftsmen of this era very well.

They were all real, with no distractions in their minds, and they focused entirely on studying their craft. They were not like those people in later generations, who were always full of calculations and little thoughts when doing things.

In this simple era, Uncle Cheng’s craftsmanship must be superb.

So Wang Jianguo said to Cheng Erhua's father sincerely:

"Uncle Cheng, please don't be modest. Your craftsmanship is the key to our village's prosperity."

"Whether our village can develop this time depends entirely on your real ability. You must use all your special skills."

When Uncle Cheng heard what Wang Jianguo said, he nodded firmly and vigorously, with a simple and energetic look in his eyes, and said:

"Comrade Jianguo, I'm not good at speaking nice words. But don't worry, I will definitely work hard and conscientiously."

After Wang Jianguo heard Uncle Cheng say this, he didn't say anything else, but he could see an extremely firm determination in his eyes.

Wang Jianguo asked, "Uncle Cheng, what materials do you need to make the shelves? I will be responsible for preparing these things."

I only heard Uncle Cheng say slowly:

"It's actually quite simple. All you need are nails and wood."

"Nails are easy. We carpenters have some nails at home. It's not a big deal. But for wood, we may have to go to the mountains to find it."

When Wang Jianguo heard that they were going up the mountain, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had suddenly seen the light in the darkness.

He was worried that he couldn't find a suitable excuse to go up the mountain. Now it was a good opportunity. He could take this opportunity to go up the mountain openly.

After thinking this over in his mind, he said straightforwardly:

"It's okay, Uncle Cheng. Let's divide the work like this. In the afternoon, Erzhu, Erhua, and Brother Hai, you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to paste the wall."

"I will arrange for my cousin to go to the commune to get the newspapers, and then I will deliver them to you when I get them back."

"As for me, I will go to the mountain with you, Uncle Cheng, to see if we can find suitable wood."

After Wang Jianguo assigned the tasks, he saw the other four people nodded in agreement, and he continued:

"Since no one has any different opinions, let's just settle it."

"Let's all go home and eat now. Only when we have a full meal can we have the strength to work. Uncle Cheng, after you finish eating, just come to the captain's house to find me."

Uncle Cheng nodded to Wang Jianguo, and then they all walked together towards their respective homes.

When I returned to Zhao Shuzhuo's house, I saw both He Yushui and Zhao Shuzhuo at home.

Wang Jianguo's clothes from yesterday were hung on a rope in the yard, and water was still dripping from the clothes.

No need to ask, it must have been He Yushui who helped wash it.

When I walked into the house, I saw He Yushui was like a hardworking little bee. She not only prepared the meal, but also served it on the table.

Just waiting for Wang Jianguo to come back and eat the ready-made food. Wang Jianguo couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw He Yushui busying around.

He secretly thanked his luck that he did not bring He Yushui into that space at that time.

If I really brought her into the space, I would be alone in this unfamiliar environment now.

If I don’t know anyone around me, I will definitely collapse.

Now that He Yushui is by my side, she not only provides me with a lot of help in life, but also makes my life in order.

It also brings me great spiritual comfort, like a ray of warm light in the darkness.

Wang Jianguo slowly walked to the sink and washed his hands carefully, then turned and walked to the dining table to prepare to eat.

He had just sat down at the dining table when his eyes inadvertently fell on the pile of newspapers on the ground.

The pile of newspapers seemed to be quite large and was neatly stacked there like a small hill.

Wang Jianguo couldn't help but frowned, his heart full of doubts, so he asked:

"Where did this newspaper come from?"

Zhao Shuzhuo was busy doing something at his desk at this time. After hearing Wang Jianguo's question, he stopped his work and slowly stood up.

He walked slowly to Wang Jianguo, gently pulled a chair over and sat down. Then, he said to Wang Jianguo with a smile:

"I went to the commune to ask Director Song for this newspaper. I thought that we have a lot of things to do recently, and I thought you might need it, so I went to get the newspaper back."

When Wang Jianguo heard this, he immediately smiled and said to Zhao Shuzhuo happily:

"Brother Zhao, you are really a worm in my stomach. I was planning to ask Yu Shui to go to the commune to ask Director Song for newspapers this afternoon."

"You know, we finally tidied up the supply and marketing cooperative this morning. All the things are in order. The room is empty now, and we need these newspapers."

After listening to Wang Jianguo's words, Zhao Shuzhuo's eyes turned slightly, and then asked:

"So your plan for this afternoon is to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to paste paper on the wall, right? I don't have any work to do this afternoon, so I'll go with you."

Wang Jianguo shook his head gently, looked at Zhao Shuzhuo and explained patiently:

"No, Brother Zhao. Uncle Cheng and I are going to the mountains together this afternoon. We have packed up everything in our supply and marketing cooperative, and we just need shelves to put the goods on."

"We have to go to the mountains to cut some wood to make shelves. The rest of you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and paste the wall."

As he spoke, Wang Jianguo turned his head and looked at He Yushui again, with a questioning look in his eyes, and said:

"Yushui, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't you go to the supply and marketing cooperative and help out?"

He Yushui's eyes suddenly lit up, she nodded excitedly, and said in a brisk voice:

"Sure, I'm just bored staying at home, so I'd like to find something to do so I don't have to do nothing all day."

At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo also hurriedly said:

"I have nothing to do this afternoon, and I want to go help, too. Do you think I should go to the supply and marketing cooperative, or go to the mountains with you and Uncle Cheng?"

After Wang Jianguo heard what Zhao Shuzhuo said, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ponder. He actually had another unknown purpose in going to the mountains, which was to collect spiritual energy.
