Chapter 181: School, Lighting Issues
In just over ten days, the Wei family's home had changed dramatically. After two courtyards were built on the left and right sides, a number of small tiled houses were extended, directly connecting the foot of the mountains on both sides.
The three-meter-wide ditch in front of the house also extends to the foot of the mountain. A five-meter-wide stone bridge has been built in the middle, and two more stone bridges are under construction.
To prevent children from accidentally falling into the ditch while playing, protective fences were built with blue bricks on both sides. Shen Xiangwan also asked Yuan Xiu to find a large number of willow saplings, preparing to plant one every two meters or so along both sides.
In the open space opposite the ditch, a road several meters wide was left in the middle, and foundations were laid on both sides, ready to build more houses. Many people were busy every day.
"Angel, slow down, don't fall."
After dinner, the couple took the cub out for a walk. Seeing him and Dongzi running away, Shen Xiangwan hurriedly called them. Usually they only took a walk in front of the house, but today she planned to visit the school, so she crossed the ditch.
"it is good."
After responding obediently, the two little kids gradually slowed down their running speed, and Wu Lixiu, who always followed them, stopped jogging.
"Tomorrow is An Ge'er's birthday. Although I can't celebrate for him, I still plan to give him a surprise."
Looking at the children jumping around, Shen Xiangwan turned and said to Wei Chengyi.
"What surprise?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi asked in confusion.
"It's said to be a surprise, but it doesn't work if you tell me about it."
Raising his finger and shaking it, Shen Xiangwan smiled slyly.
"Really?"
Wei Chengyi couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't ask any more questions. However, he might not see her so-called surprise for the time being.
The school was built at the end of the village, covering an area of one acre. It was constructed according to the drawings drawn by Shen Xiangwan. Except for the gate, houses were built on the other three sides. To the left of the entrance was the teachers' lounge, which was smaller, with each room measuring only 20 to 30 square meters. Opposite and to the right were all classrooms, a total of ten rooms, each of which was over a hundred square meters. There was also a huge playground in the middle for children to rest and play.
A three-meter-high wall was built outside the school to prevent villagers from disturbing the children during their classes.
"The lighting seems a bit poor."
Entering one of the classrooms with Wei Chengyi, Shen Xiangwan frowned slightly. Although it was almost dark, he could still judge the lighting quality. There was basically no light in the classroom.
"It would be better if I opened the window."
As he spoke, Wei Chengyi let go of her hand and opened the window next to him, but Shen Xiangwan still frowned: "You can open the window in summer, but what about in winter? Won't the children be shivering with cold? If you don't open the window, studying in a dim room for a long time will not be good for the eyes."
"Isn't it the same at home?"
Wei Chengyi didn't care. To be more precise, he was used to it.
"I overlooked that."
After he said that, Shen Xiangwan immediately remembered that the lighting in the house was not necessarily very good. It was just because it was summer and they kept the doors and windows wide open every day, and lit candles before it got dark at night. Not to mention that she always went back to the space directly after returning to her room, so she only discovered the lighting problem now.
"Let's go, it's getting dark."
Wei Chengyi walked forward and put his arm around her waist, then led her out the door: "Angel, we are ready to go back." "Okay."
The little cub was chasing after Dongzi and Wei Yunyi, and just responded without turning his head. Wei Yunyi was Wei Jingyi's eldest grandson, five years old. He often came to their house to play and was very good friends with the little cub.
"By the way, we can replace all the windows with glass windows, and replace a few glass tiles on the roof."
As soon as the two of them walked out of the school, Shen Xiangwan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stopped and finally smiled again.
"Glass windows?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi looked at her in confusion.
"Well, you can think of it as glass."
Holding his arm, Shen Xiangwan said excitedly: "It is very simple to make glass. I will give the method to Yuan Xiu tomorrow. With glass windows and glass tiles, the problem of lighting will be solved. By the way, we can also make a lot of glassware, such as glass cups, glass bowls, glass vases, etc., and then sell them as colored glaze to those rich and powerful people. I heard that there are many caravans in Chenzhou going out of the customs to the Western Regions to do business. We can also sell those things to people in the Western Regions. It is cool to make money from officials and rich people, but it is undoubtedly more fragrant to make money from foreigners!"
Hehe, she is such a clever little girl!
"Liuli?"
Seeing her speak so happily, Wei Chengyi couldn't help but become more interested. He knew that colored glaze was very rare and precious, and it could be said that it was in short supply. He wanted to see how her so-called glass could act as colored glaze.
"Come on, let's go back quickly. I can't wait to figure out how to make glass."
As she spoke, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but quicken her pace. Whenever she thought about how she would be able to harvest a wave of rich and powerful people, or even people from other countries, after making glass in the future, she couldn't help but want to take action immediately.
However, she still had to go back to the space to ask No. 1 about the method of making glass. She didn't have so many things stored in her mind. But No. 1 was different. In order to save trouble, she had written the entire world encyclopedia into his program. Not to mention making glass, he could even make guns and ammunition.
"Slow down, it's already late today, can you still do it right away?"
Shaking his head with amusement, Wei Chengyi held her back slightly, not knowing what made her so excited.
"Hey, hey...wasn't I in a hurry?"
With a rascally grin, Shen Xiangwan decisively slowed down his pace.
"You."
There was really nothing he could do with her, Wei Chengyi's eyes were full of helplessness, but there was a hint of indulgence and doting smile on his thin cherry-red lips, showing that he really liked this lively Shen Xiangwan.
When they returned home, it was already completely dark. The couple handed the child to Zhao Yuping and went back to their room to wash up. To avoid others noticing anything unusual, Shen Xiangwan washed up in her own room at night. Of course, she would change the bath water to Lingjing water every time, and change the water back after washing. After being pampered for this period of time, she had gained some weight and did not look as thin as before.
"Knock down!"
There was a sudden knock on the door. Shen Xiangwan, who had just finished washing up, was startled. Then he stood up and opened the door: "At this late hour, are you going to seduce me or are you going to seduce me?"
Outside the door, Wei Chengyi was wearing a loose white robe, with his thick black hair casually draped behind him, exuding alluring charm. Shen Xiangwan leaned against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest, and whistled lazily. He was worthy of being her man, even his hair was sexy and charming, but it was too much of a test of her self-control.
