Chapter 140 - 135 Trouble Arises
Carpenter Zhang burst into laughter upon hearing they needed to use wooden boards to create partitions inside the house. "No need to measure; all the dormitories in your military unit are the same. I’ve done several of these partitions before. I know the measurements and roughly how to do it."
Then, he rummaged through his things and pulled out a rough sketch to show Pingying, "Military wife, take a look at this design, will it work for you?"
After inspecting it, Pingying thought that the carpenter’s design was adequate. It involved using a complete template to serve as a wall with a door on the far side to divide the bedroom into two.
She nodded, "Alright, no need to measure then. We’ll do it this way."
Carpenter Zhang, finding Pingying easy to talk to, readily agreed, "Okay, this is simple. I’ll have it done today and install it at your place tomorrow afternoon."
"Alright," Pingying agreed, handed over the deposit to Carpenter Zhang, and walked off with Qiu Lian.
Qiu Lian wasn’t in a hurry to take her back; instead, she took Pingying for a stroll around the village near the military unit, and then into the unit, explaining where everything was.
Actually, Pingying still had some memories of the military unit since she had spent a considerable amount of time there in her past life and had even worked in the unit’s canteen.
However, Pingying found Qiu Lian to be quite nice. She was straightforward, generous, and much easier to get along with than Luo Chun, who appeared easygoing.
Qiu Lian was also very attentive and enthusiastic.
Thanks to Qiu Lian’s guidance, Pingying accomplished many things in one day. She took care of the wall construction in the morning and bought coal in the afternoon. In her spare time, Pingying made some pastries and even sent some over to Luo Chun and her neighbor.
