Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 132, Winter

Wang Li's family had a very warm winter because with little Huniu around, the family paid more attention to keeping warm.

The tiger and bear skins Wang Li brought back were made into various mattresses for his home and quilts for wrapping up little Tiger Girl.
The remaining tiger and bear skins were made into coats by Wang Li.

However, the leather coats he made tended to be more modern in style, with the fur side facing inwards and cotton cloth on the outside of the coat.

This not only protects the fur and allows the clothes to be worn longer, but also keeps a low profile so that outsiders don't know that the clothes they are wearing are tiger or bear skin coats. It really kills two birds with one stone.

His approach was also well recognized by Zhang Fang's family. Therefore, they all asked this tailor to make clothes for them. After all, this is not an era of publicity, so it is better to be low-key.

In addition to these measures, Wang Li also began to look for another necessity for living in the north - heating.

Since the walls of Wang Li's house are very thick, with the thinnest part reaching more than 30 centimeters, the effect of keeping out the cold and heat is very good.

This is also the reason why his family has not thought about installing a heating system in recent years.

But now, because of the little boy Xiao Huniu, Wang Li’s third courtyard is also being renovated, so Wang Li had the idea of ​​installing heating.

However, the process was not very smooth. Although Wang Li had taken into account the installation of a heating system when he built the three-courtyard house, the one-story building against the outer wall was the kitchen and boiler room.

But Wang Li encountered difficulties in finding heating equipment.

The first one is the boiler used for heating. Now is not a modern society, and it is difficult for individuals to buy a boiler.

After all, there is a shortage of materials now, and there is not enough steel for national construction, so where can we buy civilian boilers?
Therefore, he has asked Zhang Lei and Zhao Qiang to help find out where to buy second-hand small boilers. The biggest difficulty he is facing now is radiators and heating pipes, which are even harder to find than boilers.

Because these things were placed in the third courtyard, he had very high requirements for the items: first, the quality must be good, and at least it must not leak, otherwise the precious wood decorations and furniture in the third courtyard would be damaged.

Second, the radiator cannot be too ugly, otherwise it will affect the decoration effect of the entire house.

This made Wang Li very worried, and he couldn't find a good solution.

Wang Li is no longer in a hurry recently. This year, it is just like that. After all, it is winter now. His three-courtyard house can only be used for interior decoration and furniture construction. It is not suitable for installing heating equipment, because installing heating equipment in winter can easily freeze the heating pipes.

What Wang Li has been doing recently is: working at the purchasing station during the day, doing interior decoration and making furniture in his spare time, and sorting out the antiques collected in the early stage with his wife at night.

There are many more antiques in his house now than before he left.

The main reason was that Longguo entered a period of great famine and everyone's life became more difficult.

Many families sell their household items at low prices to buy food to support their families, so old items are now even less valuable.

As a result, the scrap collection stations' business has improved. After all, instead of leaving useless things at home, it is better to sell them for some money, buy food on the black market, and improve their family's life.

Therefore, Zheng Lan was not idle during the months when Wang Li was away. When she had nothing to do, she would go to the recycling station's warehouse, pick out some old items, put them away, and wait for Wang Li to come back. The two of them would identify and classify them together.
