The two of them first moved the charcoal from the car roof upstairs. Each box contained 50 catties of charcoal. Du Yue could carry two boxes in one trip effortlessly, and so could He Xing. Du Yue only opened the car door after the charcoal on the roof was moved up. When He Xing saw that most of the space in the car was filled with boxes of charcoal, he could not help but look at Du Yue with admiration.
At a time like this, she could actually get so much charcoal from outside in one go. How amazing!
After the charcoal was brought upstairs, there were only two heaters left in the car. The heaters were different from the charcoal. One person could not carry one heater alone, so two people had to carry one together. Du Yue had only prepared two heaters, but she had prepared four sets of various accessories. The two of them each had two sets. This way, if the parts were to break down in the future, they could still have a replacement.
It was very easy to install the heater. They just had to find a good position to put the heater down, install the pipe, and then connect the pipe outside. Du Yue had planned to install the heater as soon as she brought it home. After all, based on the timeframe from her previous life, it was not long before the extreme cold arrived. Setting up the heater in advance would prevent her from being flustered in the event of any changes in the later stages.
Before she went out to get the heater, Du Yue had put the things that should not appear in her house into the interspace. Now that He Xing was helping her carry the heater home, she was naturally not afraid of exposing any flaws.
Her bedroom was not big, only a dozen square meters. The single bed already took up one-third of the room. Now that a heater was placed in, the room became even more crowded. However, Du Yue did not mind at all. The smaller the room, the better. When the heater was lit, the room would be nice and warm due to how small it was.
Du Yue had moved the bed to the side in advance, leaving a spot near the window for the heater to be placed there. However, it was still about a meter away from the curtain.
The heater was placed down, and there was no debris or obstruction in the surroundings. This could also prevent any accidents. After installing the pipe, the next step was the most troublesome one, which was to drill a hole in the wall. Du Yue went to the other bedroom and returned with a toolbox. There was an electric drill inside.
He Xing was not the least bit curious about where the toolbox came from. He climbed up the ladder with the electric drill, drilled a hole in a suitable position, and put the pipe in.
After Du Yue’s heater was set up, the two of them went to He Xing’s house with the toolbox. It was also Du Yue’s first time entering He Xing’s bedroom. His bedroom was much simpler than Du Yue’s. He did not have any flooring or wallpaper. There was only a single bed in the room and a small table beside it. The rest of the room was filled with all kinds of boxes.
Du Yue did not pay any extra attention to the boxes. She only asked He Xing where he wanted to put the furnace. He Xing’s bedroom was not very big, and there was not much space for the heater with the things that were there in the bedroom.
“I’ll move these things out first and make space for them.” With that, He Xing started moving the boxes, while Du Yue stood by the side and waited. It was not that Du Yue did not want to help, but these boxes belonged to He Xing. If He Xing did not ask her for help, she would not take the initiative to touch other people’s things. She did not know what was in the boxes or how important it was to He Xing.
Fortunately, He Xing was very fast. It did not take long for him to move a part of the boxes away and make room for the heater. 20 minutes passed with Du Yue helping him install the heater and the pipe. “I’ll give you some charcoal. You can go to my house to get it later,” Du Yue said.
He Xing smiled and waved his hand. “You can keep the charcoal. I’ll buy it from the base.” Du Yue nodded.
He Xing mentioned that the base had given him a lot of contribution points. In addition, He Xing had been working for the base for the past two months, so the base would definitely treat him well. With He Xing’s current savings, it should not be a problem to buy some charcoal for winter.
He Xing walked over to the bed, opened one of the boxes, and took out two boxes before walking toward Du Yue.
“Other than weapons, I also have these. Which one do you need more?” He Xing handed the boxes to Du Yue as he spoke.
They were two flat rectangular boxes. The boxes were white. There were no decorations or words on them, so Du Yue could not tell what was inside.
However, looking at the shape, they did look a little like the packaging of thermal underwear. Du Yue opened one of the boxes as she pondered. There was indeed a set of gray clothes inside. It looked no different from ordinary thermal underwear.
“This is no ordinary thermal underwear. Its ability to resist the cold is twice that of ordinary underwear, but its weight is half of ordinary underwear. It can keep you warm and won’t make you bloated. However, if you don’t like it, I can give you a weapon.”
