Everyone present was startled by the sudden appearance of the water storage tank.

The water tank that Zhao Junchen bought was a full 1.65 meters tall and nearly 1 meter in diameter. Standing on the platform, it was only half a head shorter than Xiong Bo. The stainless steel outer shell was polished to a shiny shine, and it was supported by a support frame of the same material. From a distance, it looked like a thermos that had been magnified several times, which was quite unusual.

After recovering, Xiong Bo leaned closer and gently tapped the barrel with his knuckles. Zhao Hu and Da Niu also joined him on the cement platform, touching and patting it here and there.

Da Niu even tried pushing it with force. "My God, this is so solid! It's really solid when you tap it. It's really full of water. It's hard for me to push. Nannan, how did you manage to bring such a heavy thing back?"

Ya Ya smiled and tilted her head back: "I just need to think about putting the bucket on top, and then I can put it on! It doesn't take any effort at all."

After listening, Xiong Bo gave a thumbs up: "The little immortal's mustard seed space is truly terrifying! Amazing, absolutely amazing! He can collect objects with a mere thought, even such a huge and heavy barrel is effortless. This saves us a lot of trouble!"

"I think it's amazing too!" Ya Ya moved to a different spot; her neck was aching from looking up at the platform for so long. "Oh, right, there are a lot of accessories and pipes. The pipes are for drawing water; they're soft and long. I'll put them on the platform!"

After he finished speaking, another pile of things appeared at Xiong Bo's feet.

A large plastic bag containing a kit of accessories, and a coiled roll of yellow rubber hose.

"Uncle Bear, that protruding thing at the bottom of the bucket is the faucet. There are several holes on it to add water. There's also another hole at the bottom of the bucket, which Grandma Duck says is called the drain valve. Make sure to tighten it, or the water will leak out."

Xiong Bo lay down on the ground and crawled under the water tank. He touched the valve at the bottom with his fingertips, then crawled out again to take a look at the faucet, and understood.

This bucket looks big, but the design details are really ingenious. If the bucket gets dirty after a long time, you can simply unscrew the bottom valve to pour out the dirty water. There is also a large lid on top with a latch.

It should be an opening that facilitates maintenance.

Xiong Bo circled the water tank twice, then squatted down and carefully turned on the faucet at the bottom.

Splash splash splash splash.

A strong stream of water poured down the faucet, and Xiong Bo's eyes lit up. He quickly turned it off.

He straightened up and confidently assured everyone, "I guarantee I'll get the plumbing in our bathroom working perfectly today!"

After he finished speaking, he opened the bag of accessories and took out a T-connector. He had noticed that the faucet opening had a spiral pattern, and usually, accessories with this structure could be connected to other threaded fittings.

This thing has three heads, which fit perfectly onto the faucet at the bottom of the tank, and then a pipe is connected to the solar water heater to provide it with heated water.

Another water inlet pipe connects to the corner of the bathroom wall, providing water to all the pipes inside.

He connected the T-connector to the faucet, tightened it with a wrench, and then turned on the faucet to test that water came out from both outlets before he felt relieved.

Then he took out the sealing gaskets and clips left over from assembling the solar water heater and installed them one by one, his eyes falling on a small white square board to the side. Several wires ran out from this white board, indicating that it was a device that needed to be connected to electricity to function, but Lotus Village had not yet solved the problem of power generation, so this board was temporarily useless.

"It's alright, let's put it aside for now." Xiong Bo muttered to himself, "The principle of solar energy is to heat the water inside by sunlight. There may be some kind of transformation in the process. In short, it should be able to produce water normally without electricity. As long as the water supply is open, we can use it for now."

As Ya Ya watched Uncle Xiong continue working, with everyone lending a hand, it seemed there was nothing she could do. She greeted Grandpa Fang and turned to go back to her grandmother's yard.

In the courtyard, Xiaodouzi sat on a chair, swaying his head as he recited the Thousand Character Classic word by word. He had already reached the last few pages. Xiaoshuanzi squatted by the courtyard wall, with a group of chicks and ducks following behind him.

Ya Ya went straight to the stove and found Grandma Liu picking vegetables.

"Grandma, I've given away all the bok choy I brought earlier! I gave a basket to Little Zhao, a basket to Sister He Miao, and also to Uncle the shopkeeper and Sister Cheng You. Tonight I'd like to take some more to give to Auntie and Grandma Wang. Do we have any bok choy left?"

Grandma Liu pointed to several bamboo baskets placed to the side and smiled gently: "I've already prepared them for you. Each basket weighs five jin (2.5 kg) and has been weighed. These are the only vegetables our village grows itself. If they like them, as long as they don't mind, you can continue to share them when new vegetables grow in the garden."

"Okay!" Ya Ya nodded obediently, and with a wave of her little hand, she put the baskets into her space.

"Oh, right." Granny Liu put the vegetables back in the bowl, dried her hands, took out an apron folded into a small square from her pocket, and unfolded it with a gentle shake: "This is an apron that your Aunt Chun Tao made. Bring it to Xiu Lian tonight to show her too."

The apron is white with cartoon red mushrooms and rabbits printed all over it, making it cute and brightly colored.

Ya Ya took the apron and held it up to herself. She couldn't help but picture her aunt wearing the new apron. Her lips curled up in a smile. "So pretty! Aunt Chun Tao is so skillful."

My aunt's dark red plaid apron was old and dusty, so I brought it over for her to change into.

My aunt has bought herself so many new clothes, so this time I can finally give my aunt some new clothes!

"Okay, thank you, Grandma, thank you, Aunt Chuntao! The apron is so pretty, thank you for your hard work! By the way, Aunt Chuntao, when will the apron be finished?"

Ji Chuntao turned around and said, "Those pieces of fabric for the pleated skirt and the jacket are so good. I've never touched such good material before. I'm afraid of ruining it, so I'm making them very carefully. I also need to embroider them. I estimate it will take about half a month."

If Nannan is in a hurry, her aunt can ask the village chief for a lamp so they can work a little longer at night and finish a few days earlier.

Ya Ya waved her hand, "Auntie, I'm not in a hurry. You're so busy during the day making so much food, so please get some rest at night, okay?"

Listening to Ya Ya's mature-sounding instructions, Ji Chuntao couldn't help but smile: "Okay, Auntie will listen to our little girl and get some rest tonight."

"Auntie, why don't you make yourself an apron? I can use the scraps of cloth I bought." Ya Ya put the red mushroom apron into her space and asked, looking at the old linen draped in front of Aunt Chun Tao.

Ji Chuntao paused, having turned all those scraps of cloth into underwear; each person in the village received several pairs.

Since she didn't have a tendon that could be stretched to different sizes, she used a drawstring.
