The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Ya Ya followed behind Xiong Bo with her hands behind her back, watching him touch and look at everything, muttering to himself. Finally, he lay down on the ground, touching the toilet and sighing, saying something about hugging and licking something. Startled, Ya Ya quickly squatted down and grabbed Uncle Xiong's collar:

"Uncle Bear, this is a poop pit, you can't hug it or lick it!"

Ya Ya's little face scrunched up. Uncle Bear's hobby is really unique; he actually wants to take out his poop and lick it!

Xiong Bo reached out and grabbed his collar, coughing twice. This little girl looked thin, but she was quite strong.

"I didn't mean to lick it, really, don't worry."

"Really? But your head is almost inside?" Ya Ya didn't let go and even tried to pull Uncle Bear up.

"Cough cough... No, I've never seen such fine white porcelain before. The craftsmanship is too perfect, with such smooth and rounded patterns." Xiong Bo got up from the ground and stood up when he saw that the back of his collar had loosened.

Ya Ya was relieved and turned her head to look. She saw that another person had been lying down next to her at some point.

Little Shuanzi stuck his butt out and imitated Xiong Bo, lying on the ground: "Lick, lick..."

Fang Tiesheng, who followed in: ...

"You can't lick this. Who taught you that? Really." Fang Tiesheng scooped up Xiao Shuanzi and put him aside.

Xiong Bo blushed. He hadn't taught him; it wasn't him.

"Master Fang, is that white porcelain basin embedded in the floor really for using the toilet? And what are those silver pipes on the wall? Why is there also a silver pipe above the white porcelain basin under the mirror by the door?"

"I'll explain it to you one by one. Nannan, Xiaodouzi, keep an eye on Xiaoshuanzi and don't let him go into the pit." Fang Tiesheng instructed several children before leading Xiong Bo to start explaining again from the doorway.

"This is the washing and grooming area near the entrance. This slender-legged white porcelain basin is for washing hands and face. The silver object on top is called a faucet; it can rotate left and right and can also be lifted upwards. However, its current function is unknown since the water supply hasn't been connected yet. This black square is called a washing machine; it also needs electricity to operate, and I've heard it can wash clothes by itself..."

As Fang Tiesheng recounted the story, Xiong Bo stared thoughtfully at the pipes in the room.

His expression became even more certain when he saw the two hexagonal connectors under the showerhead connected to the long silver coil tube.

"This is a shower head, covered with tiny holes from which hot water sprays out in all directions," Fang Tiesheng explained patiently and meticulously. He had been studying the bathroom fixtures quite a bit these past few days. "I deduce that it relies on two water pipes in the wall, one for cold water and one for hot water, and then uses a faucet that can be turned left and right to adjust the water flow from the two pipes, thus producing hot water at a suitable temperature."

Finally, there's the electric water heater on the wall. There are several pipes and knobs connected to it. We need to remove this water heater intact and return it. Are you... sure you can handle it?" Fang Tiesheng touched the pipes under the water heater.

"Let me take a look first. Is there a ladder? A chair will do too. I need to check this place carefully." Xiong Bo looked up at the electric water heater hanging on the wall above his head. It was quite large, a sturdy white cylindrical object.

There were some strange symbols on top, and two tubes about the thickness of a thumb extended from the bottom, with a white line connecting to a white square board with five holes in the corner of the wall.

"Uncle Xiong, you have to be careful, or Brother Zhao will dock your pay." Ya Ya looked up and followed behind Xiong Bo, staring at the large cylinder on the wall.

Xiong Bo first took out a screwdriver from the toolbox, observed the fixed position on the wall, and then Da Niu brought him a wooden stool.

Standing on the stool, Xiong Bo became more certain; disassembling the water heater wasn't difficult.

Its original component was attached to a bracket on the back wall.

Xiong Bo craned his neck to look through the gap in the cylinder and could clearly see the support frame. He tried to lift the electric water heater with his hands to feel the weight of the cylinder; it was empty inside and not particularly heavy.

But just to be on the safe side, he called Da Niu over to help him connect the water heater: "Brother Da Niu, I'll unscrew all the pipes first, and you can hold the water heater for me from below."

As he spoke, he looked at the connection between the two pipes under the water heater and tightened the hexagonal nut on it. It was very tight. Xiong Bo got down, opened his toolbox, found a wrench, and stood back on the stool.

I must say, having tools is really helpful; it saved me a lot of time and effort.

He quickly disconnected the two pipes connected to the bottom of the water heater: "Brother Da Niu, I'm about to take it."

Da Niu raised his hands as if to lift it up, "Take it, I'll catch it."

Xiong Bo lifted the bottom of the water heater with both hands, examined the position of the latches at the back, and with a slight click, the cylindrical water heater came off, and he suddenly felt a heavy weight in his hands.

He gritted his teeth and struggled to lower himself down into Da Niu's hands.

The white electric water heater was successfully removed, leaving only the bare bracket and two protruding, bent iron pipes on the wall.

Da Niu placed the water heater above the washing machine in the outer room.

Inside, Xiong Bo had already stood back on the stool, holding an electric drill in his hand.

Ya Ya, Xiao Douzi, and Xiao Shuanzi, the three little ones, stood by the showerhead, looking up at Xiong Bo's movements. Suddenly, they heard a sharp sizzling sound, and the tip of the hair dryer-like object in Uncle Xiong's hand began to spin rapidly.

Xiao Shuanzi was startled, and Xiao Douzi frowned and covered his ears.

Ya Ya stared intently at Uncle Xiong's movements. She saw him aim the pointed end at a patterned small iron piece on the wall, and with a few sizzling sounds, the small iron piece protruded. Uncle Xiong gently touched it with his hand, and a large nail fell into his palm.

"Wow--"

Ya Ya couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "What amazing tools! What an amazing Uncle Bear!"

The electric drill whirred rapidly, and in no time all the threaded nails were removed, and the I-shaped bracket on the wall was also taken down.

After inspecting the disassembled water heater, Fang Tiesheng approached and nodded. The master craftsman was indeed extraordinary. Even though he didn't know the names of these tools in the large box, he could pick them up and use them with ease.
