Natasha said that old Sheila would suffer from leg pain in winter, and only by sitting by the fireplace all day would she relieve the pain. At this time, she and Rita would go to the forest to pick up some pine towers and come back with pines and mushrooms, which was an extra gain for them. Although it was a little difficult in the past, it was not hard. Life was always full of fun.

Rita is good at finding fun everywhere in her life (ashigedubi). Her naive/optimistic personality always infects Natasha with all kinds of female behaviors, which also enlists many women in the village. Rita is slim but her waist is definitely not thick. She has a clear mermaid line and abdominal muscles. She can easily walk back and forth from home to the stream with two buckets of water. She can walk back from Beigou grassland with tall grass than her body.
In Peter’s heart, Surdak has always been described by Sheila as a great hero. Peter’s greatest dream now is to be a knight like Surdak. He practices hard every morning.
Surdak thought in his heart whether he should be more strict with little Peter.
You know, being a knight is not a person who can succeed overnight and needs far more hard work.
Natasha must be cooking breakfast in the kitchen at this time, but even though she is rich now, old Sheila is still very frugal.
The corner of the kitchen is full of wheat flour, and a whole row of ham is hung on the roof. But every morning, everyone still eats chestnut rice porridge, and occasionally some cassava is mixed in the porridge. Only when Suldak and Little Peter are on the plate can you see wheat cakes and a thin slice of ham.
Rita is very busy early. She has to go to the stream to fetch water in the early morning and mow the grass in Beigou grassland to feed the cattle, especially when Suldak’s family has added a batch of ancient horses, and she needs to prepare nearly twice as much forage as usual.
Surdak lay in bed for a while, planning to get up and help Rita share a little home. She wanted to go out with a bucket of water, but Rita grabbed it and said, "I’ll do it. You don’t even know where to draw water …"
At breakfast, Surdak learned from the old Sheila that there are some stresses about fetching water in the village. Usually, in the morning, women go to the brook to fetch water, and the water source is close to the brook. If a idle man in the village goes to fetch water, he will be chased and scolded by a fiery village woman. If he comes back from the water source, he can wash it. Although it is poor here, the villagers also attach great importance to drinking water hygiene …
After breakfast, old Sheila took little Peter to the hospital to milk cows. Surdak also swallowed the last bite of chestnut rice porridge into his stomach and bit the corner of the baked wheat cake in his plate. He slipped out behind Rita and asked, "Brother, are you going to the reservoir site?" Wait for Natasha and me. We’re going too … "
Natasha and Rita didn’t speak at the door behind them, and her eyes were full of expectation. Looking at Surdak, her eyes were full of sea tenderness.
Listening to Rita’s crisp call to Sudak to stop, she was even warmer for no reason and said, "Uh, are you going to the construction site?"
Rita quickly wiped the apron that was stained with sailors, picked it up and folded it, and chased Surdak to walk side by side with him. "Of course, Uncle Brett chose us to cook lunch and dinner for those craftsmen. Natasha and I specialize in baking wheat cakes. You don’t know how much these guys can eat less than two bags of wheat a day. Natasha and I have to bake from morning till night."
With Surdak’s footsteps, Natasha and Rita bowed their heads and smiled.
Rita went on to say to Surdak, "There is probably not much wheat flour in the granary, or you can tell the old village chief that we can’t fry some miscellaneous grain cakes today and give them all wheat cakes every meal. We didn’t eat so well."
Surdak hesitated for a moment before saying, "Three meals a day of wheat cakes are enough. This is a pre-agreement. It can’t be changed casually. Don’t worry about the lack of wheat flour. This is not something you should consider."
See Surdak say this Rita so-called street vendor said
"Well … I just want to wake you up."
Then she praised Surdak, "By the way, the wolf skin mattress you gave me is so warm."
"Natasha, what do you think?" Rita turned to the other side natasha asked again.
Natasha hesitated to think that she didn’t sleep in her room last night. Where did she feel the warmth of a wolf’s skin and a wolf’s warmth? Natasha didn’t know how to answer it. She could falter and say, "Well, it’s ok!"
Rita asked incredulously, "You didn’t give up paving last night, did you?"
"I … did not" Natasha’s white face turned red.
The three of them walked out of the hospital together and walked along the village path to the construction site of the ravine reservoir. As soon as they got to the construction site of the reservoir, they were stopped by a young man in the village. "A caravan from outside the Knights Village of Surdak said it was specially delivered to you."
"It’s coming …" Surdak threw Rita and Natasha at a glance when he couldn’t come to the construction site, and took the old village head who had just arrived at the construction site and walked directly to the village entrance.
This caravan sent 40 sets of wagon axles and three wagons of wheat. These two hundred bags of wheat flour are almost enough for the craftsmen at the reservoir site to eat for two months. After two months, it is estimated that it will snow. The reservoir project on this side of the village will stop then …
Chapter 33 Changes
In recent days, a simple thatched arbor has been built on the north side of the central square of the old village head. The carriage department of the caravan arrived at the village square. The old village head called on a group of village women to move the axle of the carriage into the arbor.
In the center of the old village head square, together with Surdak, pointing to the north arbor, he said, "I thought about it last night and set up a carpenter’s workshop in the village. All villagers with carpentry skills can enter the carpenter’s workshop to work. This arbor was originally intended to store the purchased wheat flour, but now it seems that it is not bad to turn it into a carpenter’s workshop."
The axle of these carriages is made of dense lubricating oil coated on the bearing surface, which can be easily rotated by gently pulling the horse wheel by hand.
The axle is forged from black iron, but the wheels are made of wood. A round board is nailed with some wooden strips to increase strength. This kind of rough road with ordinary wheels is easy to be damaged and needs carpenter’s workshop for maintenance.
The old village chief confidently said to Surdak, "We will build these twenty wagons first, and then we can build a big waterwheel here. Although the carpentry skills in our village are ordinary, they are all a group of children who are willing to endure hardships and learn well."
There are some good carpenters in Woer village, but they are still pustules. The old village head has sent someone to take a message to them. It is estimated that they will return to Woer village in a day or two.
Surdak looked at the arbor and asked the old village head, "When the main dam of the reservoir is built, we still need to do some pouring of volcanic ash cement boards. Since we want to set up a carpenter’s workshop, we still need to buy more wood. Do you know where there is a timber factory near here?"
