Chapter 117 Sunshade
Duan Jia was about to say something when Bai Tang interrupted him.
"I think the price is acceptable, and the location of this courtyard is also good."
We can decide now. Since Mom, Dad, and Grandpa are all satisfied, we'll take this one.
Mom and Dad, you go home first. We'll go with him to complete the transfer of ownership.
"If we buy this yard, can we make a doorway in the wall between the two yards?"
Duan Jia said, "Since you bought it, you have the right to renovate the house and can open a door."
Bai Tang nodded: "That's fine, let's go and complete the formalities."
Duan Jia and the other two hurriedly returned to the sales office to complete the formalities.
Bai Tang readily paid the contribution points, and Duan Jia handed over the certificate and key to them.
Then they were seen off respectfully.
When Duan Jia returned to the counter, his colleagues all gathered around and asked:
"Who is Duan Jia? How come you always close a big deal every time he comes here?"
Duan Jia said, "Those two are my benefactors."
...
Just as Bai Tang and her friend arrived home on their electric scooter, the sun rose outside.
The temperature rose another notch, and Bai Tang went inside to check the thermometer.
The thermometer hanging on the wall showed a temperature of fifty degrees Celsius.
Bai Tang suddenly remembered the car parked in the yard; she couldn't let them stay out in the sun forever.
"Let's cover the cars in the yard with something; if they stay in the sun like this, something bad will happen sooner or later."
I'll get you some white sunshade cloth.
As she spoke, Bai Tang took out some large sunshades from her space, because her family had many cars, so they needed larger ones to completely cover them.
Gu Yanxu took the sunshade and said, "Lin Feng and I will go. You guys don't need to go out, or you'll get sunburned again."
Lin Feng and the others stepped forward and walked out with Gu Yanxu, providing some simple cover for the three cars.
After quickly covering several cars, they went inside.
Bai Tang took out water from the stream in the space and had them wash their sunburned skin to prevent it from getting sunburned and peeling.
In an instant, a small number of people working outside at the base suffered sunburn from the sudden rise in temperature.
The base hospital was overcrowded, and the doctors and nurses were extremely busy.
The hospital is experiencing a shortage of medicines, and many people who have been sunburned are experiencing rapid festering of their broken skin due to the lack of timely treatment.
The base's loudspeaker was broadcasting again: "Attention all residents! Attention all residents of the base!"
The temperature has been fluctuating abnormally recently. Please take precautions to stay healthy and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Outdoor work has now been completely suspended. Please take precautions against heatstroke and sunburn.
Please do not go out after the sun has risen; try to stay indoors as much as possible.
Panic gripped the people. Faced with the sudden rise in temperature, many felt that the end of the world had not ended, but rather that they had entered another disaster.
Bai Tang and the others obediently followed the base's arrangements and stayed at home without going out.
If you accidentally get sunburned, it can be quite troublesome to treat.
.....
Bai Tang waited until the sun went down in the evening before going next door to set up beds and some daily necessities for Grandpa Gu and the others.
After dinner, Bai Tang brought out some tools for Gu Yanxu and the others.
Tell them to make a doorway in the wall between the two courtyards.
This makes it easier for the two families to interact, and they don't have to go out to open the door in the sweltering heat.
There was an open space in front of the wall shared by the two courtyards.
Gu Yanxu and the others picked up their tools and headed outside; many hands make light work.
In no time, a proper-looking door appeared.
Bai Tang first put the discarded bricks into her space, then took them out and placed them in the corner of the yard.
Grandpa Gu and the others went back through the door at night.
After everyone dispersed, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu returned to their bedroom.
After washing up, Bai Tang said, "Let's build a sunshade in the yard before the sun comes up tomorrow morning."
This way, we'll have some shade in our yard, making it easier for Mom and Dad to come and go, and giving their yard some shelter too.
Gu Yanxu said, "Your suggestion is good. Let's rest first. I'll get up tomorrow morning and discuss with them how to set up this sunshade."
Our yard is too big; we definitely can't cover it all.
Bai Tang dried her hair and said, "You handle it. I'll take care of the materials."
Bai Tang's hair wasn't dried, but the outside temperature quickly dried it.
In just one day, many people around the world died due to soaring temperatures.
...
The next morning, Bai Tang still took the food from her spatial storage.
Because of the hot weather, most foods are not suitable for preservation.
While eating breakfast, Gu's mother said:
"Your father and I, should we go find jobs? We can't keep eating your food forever."
Bai Tang said, "Mom, how can you say that? It's our duty to support you."
Furthermore, given the current situation outside, the base has also issued a notice to suspend operations.
You can stay at home; we can support you.
Don't worry about food and drink. If you really have nothing to do, I'll bring back the wild rabbit that I'm fostering at a friend's house another day.
"Why don't you help take care of the rabbits? It'll save you time, effort, and worry."
Seeing that her daughter-in-law had said so, Gu's mother did not force her to go to work.
After breakfast, Gu Yanxu and Lin Fan took advantage of the time before the sun came up.
When it comes to planning the location of the sunshade in the yard, Linzhou has experience in this area.
He quickly planned out the approximate location, and then Bai Tang provided them with the materials.
Bai Jiyang and Lin Feng were responsible for the physical labor of installing the materials.
With professional guidance from Linzhou, they set up a large sunshade in the yard.
There are sunshades on the path from this courtyard to another courtyard.
There are sunshades over the area with three more cars, and there are also some sunshades in front of the eaves.
The awning is higher than the RV so as not to obstruct the vehicle's entry and exit.
The yard has changed dramatically in an instant. The sunshade effect should be quite good. I'm just waiting for the sun to come out to see.
They had just finished shading the house when Bai Tang heard someone knocking on the door.
Bai Tang went to open the door, and Zhang Hongmei brought the rabbit over.
Zhang Hongmei was seen riding a small electric scooter with a cage placed on top.
Zhang Hongmei looked at Bai Tang and said, "Little sister, I saw my neighbors come back yesterday."
They were also a team that went to Beijing, so I knew you guys should be back by now.
So I figured you'd be home this morning, so I rushed over to bring your rabbit over.
Bai Tang smiled and said, "Sister Hongmei, it's so hot, we should go get it ourselves."
Zhang Hongmei said, "It's okay, I'm staying at home anyway."
