Chapter 56 Cheerleading really works!

The system still remembered when it found its host in its previous life. The little girl was living in a post-apocalyptic world where people rarely saw anyone who was clean and dressed nicely, but its host could.

Although its host doesn't wear makeup or dresses like other girls, she takes good care of herself every day, keeping herself clean and tidy. Although most of her clothes are homemade, they are elegant and neat, some beautiful and some handsome, all quite good-looking.

Once, the system saw that a mutated monster had dirtied its host's clothes. Originally, the host didn't want to deal with the monster and just wanted to go home quickly. However, because the monster had dirtied her clothes, the host chased the mutated monster, which everyone feared, for three whole days, and then forced the monster to jump into the sea and commit suicide. This result... let alone humans, even animals in the mutated world probably wouldn't believe it.

The clothes were washed by its host five times, all by hand, because the washing machine simply couldn't remove all the stains.

It initially thought its host was a germaphobe, but the host looked at it with disdain and said: "There's no such thing as germaphobia in the apocalypse. She used to roll around in garbage dumps. She's just too lazy to wash her clothes, and she doesn't allow herself to be dressed in dirty and smelly clothes back then."

Thinking of all this, while watching her host still writing and drawing on paper, trying her best to decorate her little home in a warm and comfortable way that also fits the times.

The system immediately became energetic, holding its system tablet and saying with great spirit, "Host, don't worry, A-Tong will help you, and will definitely make this little home clean, tidy, exquisite and cozy."

"good!"

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, continuing to write what she needed to do.

The bolsters and cushions on the kang (heated brick bed) also need to be covered with two curtains. One curtain is hung between the two partition walls to separate this small area of ​​the kang into a small bedroom. The other curtain is hung between the partition wall on the side of the kang and the bathroom to divide the room into two large rooms, an inner room and an outer room.

The outer room serves as the kitchen and dining room, and also blocks some of the view from outside. However, these two curtains have to be made of homespun cloth, which is cheap and doesn't require coupons in this era. Even if she uses large pieces to make the curtains, at most people will say she's wasteful, but there won't be any trouble.

Curtains must be hung on both the front and back windows, and they must be the kind that block out light well. That way, even if she secretly turns on the light in the small bedroom, she won't have to worry about being seen by people outside because of the two layers of curtains.

Oh, and we also need to sew another curtain to hang in the small changing room; that place needs to be private.

After noting down everything, Bai Nuo didn't rush to start. She would wait until the house was repaired. Then she began to gather the reed leaves and stalks, cutting them all up and taking them to the backyard to dry. They would be dry in a couple of days.

In the afternoon, after the house repairmen arrived, Bai Nuo went to borrow some firewood and a pot from Xie Zhiqing, boiled two kettles of water, added sugar, and poured a cup for the workers from time to time.

Spring plowing has just begun in the fields, and the work isn't heavy. The people who come to help are earning work points anyway. Plus, this young educated youth is all smiles and speaks very sweetly, offering both sweet soup and dried meat. This makes the uncles who come to help work with great enthusiasm, determined to make the young educated youth's little house the best it can be.

The key point is that this young educated youth has such a sweet tongue. Ever since they started working, she would occasionally say a few words of praise that would leave you feeling a little confused. Moreover, her words sounded so sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy or flattery, just like a little girl admiring her father. It warmed your heart and made you want to build the walls around her even higher.

However, when the walls of the educated youth compound were built, they were specially made to be 2.5 meters high for the safety of the educated youth; any higher would not have been appropriate.

"Wow, you guys are amazing! I only turned around to get some water and you've almost finished."

Bai Nuo came in carrying a kettle and found that the wall had been built, the kang (heated brick bed) was finished, the stove had been built, and even the doors to the two small rooms in the side courtyard and the two half-roofed partition walls inside the house had been completed.

Now all that's left is the window leading to the backyard. The hole has been drilled, and there's just a final touch-up before the window is installed.

Looking next door, they're still digging at the door.

I have to say, sometimes a little encouragement really works!

The hut was repaired near dusk. The house had been built less than six months ago, and the roof and walls were still very new. It was just a matter of adding two walls, one large and one small, and then installing a kang (a heated brick bed), a stove, a half-walled partition, a half-fire wall, and finally a few doors and windows.

The workers who came were all skilled laborers from the village, and they worked very quickly, finishing the job efficiently in one afternoon.

However, the kang (heated brick bed) and stove would not be usable for another three to five days. Before it got completely dark, Bai Nuo quickly cleaned the house and yard. Then, she filled a wooden basin with water, poured in a small packet of medicinal powder, stirred it, and wiped the entire house down twice.

"Host, what did you add to it?"

"It's an insect and rodent repellent powder. I don't like those things. Mix this powder with water and then apply it to the walls and ceiling. Once it dries, you're guaranteed not to find a single insect or rodent. It can last for a year. I've limited the effective range to within a radius of twenty meters, which is enough for the small house."

Just apply another coat when you replace the wall coverings next year.

Then Bai Nuo took out a few small black pills and put them into a small wooden box. She buried the box in the four corners of the backyard. These pills had the same effect as the powder, providing double protection.

The system watched silently, and it could tell that its host really hated insects and mice.

The cement platform in front of the back door wasn't dry yet, so Bai Nuo had to jump across it to get in and out of the backyard. Luckily, she was agile, and it was only 60 centimeters wide.

The cottage roof has blue tile eaves, but they are not very wide. Bai Nuo plans to make a few tripods and then fix them to the tripods with waterproof cloth. He also plans to make a slightly larger window awning on the front and back windows to prevent rain from getting into the windows later.

She felt that coming to the Northeast countryside was the perfect fit for her. Putting aside how friendly the surrounding mountains and forests were to her, a wood-type ability user, some of her skills might be useless in this peaceful environment, but she was exceptionally good at handicrafts. Besides, she had learned a lot of Northeastern slang while watching the fun with the system in her previous life, so she wouldn't have to worry about not understanding insults in future arguments.

"Bai Zhiqing, are you there?"

Bai Nuo was tidying up in the backyard when she heard someone knocking on the front door. She quickly jumped in and ran to open the door.

Outside the door was a girl who looked to be in her early twenties. Her skin was a bit yellow, and she didn't look malnourished; it was probably from working in the fields and getting sunburned. But she was a pretty girl with delicate features. She would definitely be even prettier if she were a bit fairer.

"Hello, I'm Bai Nuo."
