    Zhou Kai came to the creek and saw Xu Jianian coming down from the upstream carrying a bucket from a distance, followed by a child holding two stones.

    He smiled and was about to greet Xu Jianian, but the other party just nodded at him and walked past him.

    Zhou Kai was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and called him: "Jia Nian."

    Xu Jianian closed his eyes, stopped together with Sui Sui and turned around: "What's wrong?"

    Zhou Kai changed back to the expression of pampering and pampering everyone and looked at him: "Are you still angry with me? Let me tell you—"

    "No." Xu Jianian tilted his head, showing the innocent expression when he was fooling his grandfather, "Why should I be angry with you?"

    Zhou Kai choked on his rhetorical question.

    The barrage was suddenly overwhelmed with excitement: "!!! I just said that they have something to do!"

    Xu Jianian continued to look at him innocently: Tell me, tell me what you have done to the original owner, and let me hear if you have seriously reflected on it.

    Of course Zhou Kai didn't reflect on it, and even felt that Xu Jianian was so indifferent to him because of "unspeakable secrets".

    He said, "I just feel like you've been avoiding me these two days, don't you—"

    "No way," Xu Jianian interrupted him, blinking innocently, "Why do you think so? Why should I avoid you?"

    Xu Jianian thought that I was just ignoring you, and really wanted to avoid me and not come on the show.

    Zhou Kai subconsciously looked at the child next to Xu Jianian. He was obviously Lin He's adopted son, but he kept clinging to Xu Jianian.

    "It's fine if you don't have one." Zhou Kai looked at Xu Jianian, his attitude seemed so sincere and understanding, "I just think, no matter how you say it, we have known each other for so many years, and we can be regarded as friends—"

    "Friend?" Xu Jianian repeated, looking at him with a surprised expression.

    Zhou Kai froze, and pulled the corner of his lips to show a smirk: "Isn't it?"

    Xu Jianian nodded, smiled and said, "You say yes."

    If love-brained fans and flirtatious and irresponsible idols can be considered friends, if ex-fans who have lost fans and celebrities who are still not clear-headed can still be friends, they can also be regarded as friends.

    The smile on Zhou Kai's face couldn't hold back, but he still hinted thoughtfully: "Since we are friends, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can ask me for help instead of carrying it alone."

    "I don't have anyone to carry it." Xu Jianian raised the corners of his lips, smiling sweetly, "I have my husband."

    Sui Sui nodded, and quietly added in her heart: and me.

    Zhou Kai: "..." The "difficulty" I mean is your husband.

    In front of the camera, he couldn't speak too clearly, so he could only maintain a friendly smile and said, "Speaking of Lin He, your marriage was quite sudden, and I've never heard of it before. Does he... treat you well?"

    Sui Sui frowned, instinctively not liking the tone he used when he mentioned his father.

    Xu Jianian also didn't want to share the love story between himself and Lin He with him, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Can't you see it? There shouldn't be any man who treats me better than him in the world, right? Except my dad."

    Zhou Kai: "..." Didn't he all perform it?

    "You—" Don't be fooled by his pretentiousness.

    However, he didn't have a chance to say what he said, so Xu Jianian frowned and looked at him: "You are not an undercover agent sent by the program team, are you?"

    Zhou Kai: "?"

    Xu Jianian: "The program team deliberately sent you to talk to me, delaying my making lunch; next time I will ask you to find a chance to catch up with me, delay our house building, and prevent us from successfully unlocking the bathroom, right?"

    Zhou Kai: "..."

    Barrage: "Hahahahahaha"

    "I can't laugh anymore. The first time I ate half of the melon, I almost died laughing at it."

    "Wife, are you going to laugh at me to death and become a widow for me?"

    "Bah, bah, bah! Don't curse your wife for always attacking her!"

    "So what's going on with them?"

    "I don't know if it's a friend, but it's possible to make the other party angry, and you will care about the other half's relationship with him?"

    "The more I talk, the more I look like my ex-boyfriend/dog head"

    "Don't spread rumors, our brother Kai is single and has never been in a relationship."

    The conversation of bull's head and horse's mouth ended here, Xu Jianian took Sui Sui back to the camp, lit a fire and started cooking porridge.

    I didn't notice it last night until this morning, and now realized that cooking with an open-air earthen stove is too hot!There is no shade on the top of the head, and after a small fire, started to sweat within half a minute.

    Xu Jianian had to hide in the house, every few minutes to look at the fire and stir the porridge in the pot.

    He and Sui Sui squatted at the door and smashed the clams, picked out the clam meat, put it in a bamboo dish filled with clear water, and put it in the pot to cook seafood porridge later.

    After a while, Lin He came back carrying a large bundle of palm leaves, and Xu Jianian hurried up to help him.

    In just one day, the east side of the stone house was already full of materials: five tree trunks used to make beams, a pile of thick and thin bamboo poles, bamboo branches cut down and laid aside to dry, and large palm leaves..

    Xu Jianian looked back at Lin He, and found that he had put a towel on his shoulders and gloves on his hands this time, so he didn't hurt himself, so he nodded in satisfaction, and went back to the house to bring out coconut water for him to drink.

    Xu Jianian helped him take off his hat and wipe his sweat, and said, "I'm cooking seafood porridge, and I can eat right away."

    Lin He glanced at the earthen stove that was cooking porridge, took the coconut into the house after drinking the water, and said, "Then I'll kill the fish."

    Xu Jianian followed him into the room: "There is one that seems to be less energetic, let's kill it first."

    "Yeah." Lin He was about to go out with a fish and a knife, but Xu Jianian held him back: "Hat."

    Lin Heteng lowered his head before making a move.Xu Jianian smiled and helped him put the hat on, and patted him on the shoulder: "Go."

    Lin He raised the corners of his lips, turned around and left the stone house.

    Barrage: "Hey, my aunt laughs."

    "There should be no better man in the world than Xu Jianian for Mr. Lin, right?"

    The other three groups of guests also started to cook lunch, and also discovered the problem of the open-air earthen stove.

    When the stove was first built, it was only for convenience, and it was built at the door of the house, without even considering the wind direction. Now it is not only exposed to the sun, but also smoked into the house and tent by the sea breeze.

    Only the hearth of Xu Jianian's family was built downwind of the stone house, but the smoke would also drift to Zhou Kai's tent in the middle and the wooden house next door.

    Fortunately, the problem was discovered early, and they still had time to fix it.

    Lin He came back after killing the fish, drove Xu Jianian and Suisui back to the house, squatted in front of the earthen stove and watched the fire, cooking seafood porridge, grilling fish and oysters at the same time.

    The weather was too hot, and we were busy all morning, so we didn't have much energy to chat, so we prepared a meal and took it back to the house or ate under the shade of a tree.

    Xu Jianian's family of three put their suitcases by the door where there was wind and convection, sat on the suitcases and finished their lunch.

    "Let's build the roof quickly." Xu Jianian leaned against the stone wall, looked up at their temporary roof and sighed.

    The heat insulation effect of the tarpaulin is really not good. Although it avoids direct sunlight, you can still feel the heat above your head.On the contrary, the inner wall of the stone wall feels cool to the touch, giving it a comfortable coolness.

    Lin He said: "We can start work when the sun is not so dry in the afternoon. Now let's make a door."

    He got up and went outside to pick up some slender bamboo poles, and then brought in some palm leaves, obviously worried about being "peeped" by Zhou Kai in the morning.

    Xu Jianian didn't know about it, but he also supported his idea, "How to do it?"

    Lin He picked up a large palm branch and cut off the leaves with a military shovel, "I'll use bamboo to make a frame, you can try weaving palm leaves and use it as a door panel."

    Lin He picked up a few palm leaves and folded them horizontally and vertically, "It's similar to how I make barbed wire, but don't leave gaps. You can also weave two or three pieces together, so thatThe 'door panels' will be a little thicker."

    "It's simple." Xu Jianian knew it at a glance, "But our roof doesn't have to be made like this, does it?"

    How big is that project?

    Lin He said: "The roof is not used, and the door is woven like this just for strength and good looks. If you are too lazy to do it, I can also directly stuff the leaves into the frame, just stuff it."

    Xu Jianian took the few palm leaves from him: "That won't work, the door of my house must look good."

    "The roof can't be ugly," he added.

    Sui Sui nodded: Listen to Dad.

    Lin He smiled: "Don't worry, I promise I won't be ugly."

    Xu Jianian brought cotton gloves for everyone to put on, and Lin He cut off the other palm leaves, and he and Sui Sui were in charge of weaving the palm leaves.

    Lin Hetiao’s palm leaves are more than one meter long, just enough to weave two square “door panels” about one meter long and wide. The frame he is making now is also this big.

    He compared the length and width of the door frame with bamboo poles, all of which were two fingers thick, three horizontal and two vertical, cut to a length that could just fit into the door frame, only one vertical was a little longer.

    The two vertical bamboo poles were cut with a little groove at the head and tail, and the three horizontal bamboo poles were cut in half by Lin He, and a little groove was cut at both ends, and the grooves were buckled together to lock each other.A "day"-shaped frame prototype has just been formed.

    Later, the woven palm leaf "door panel" will be spread on it, and then compacted with the other three horizontal bamboos that were broken just now, and finally the horizontal and vertical junctions will be tied tightly with string, and a door will be completed.

    Looking back, Lin He saw that Xu Jianian and Suisui were weaving palm leaves more and more smoothly, so he took a knife to drill holes in the door frame.

    Drill holes on the leftmost edge of the upper and lower two wooden boards of the door frame, and then insert the vertical side of the "日" character frame into the round hole, which can not only fix the door, but also make the door follow the round hole.This axis opens and closes.

    Lin He chiseled it very carefully, trying to polish the hole as smooth as possible so that the door could open and close smoothly.

    After doing this, he turned his head and saw Xu Jianian leaning against the wall and Sui Sui leaning against his arms, the two of them fell asleep together.

    He froze for a moment, slightly curled the corners of his lips, took off his gloves and got up, first carried Suisui to the air mattress, and then hugged Xu Jianian horizontally.

    Startled, Xu Jianian opened his eyes slightly to look at him, and murmured softly in a sleepy voice, "I fell asleep?"

    Lin He said softly: "It's okay, just sleep for a while, I'll call you later."

    Xu Jianian closed his eyes reassuringly, and let the other party put himself on the air mattress, but he did not forget to murmur softly: "You also sleep for a while..."

    "En." Lin He patted his head, covered them with mosquito nets, returned to the door, put on gloves and continued to work.

    He took half of the palm leaves that Xu Jianian and Sui Sui had weaved, and accelerated the weaving process.

    Barrage: "Is Mr. Lin not sleeping?"

    "Who will do the work after sleeping? My wife wants to build the roof quickly, but a man has to work hard secretly to surprise everyone!"

    "The main reason is to impress his wife."

    "He really! I cried to death! Is he so willing to be an attack tool?"

    "Is there no man in the world who treats him better than him?"

    "So who doesn't love such a man?"

    The hottest hours at noon passed in the blink of an eye.

    Sui Sui woke up first, Xu Jianian also woke up when he moved, turned around and found that Lin He was not in the room, slowly got up, got out of the mosquito net to find someone.

    As soon as they reached the door, the father and son stopped in their tracks.

    They saw a green palm door opening outward.

    Xu Jianian's eyes lit up, he rolled up the gauze curtain at the door and went out, "Your father finished the door alone?"

    Sui Sui touched the flat palm door: "Father is amazing!"

    Barrage: "Aren't you surprised? Are you surprised? Is your old bully?!"

    "Do you like it? Hurry up and kiss your husband."

    "There's also a pull ring."

    Xu Jianian found that the inside and outside of the door had a pull ring made of palm leaves. Pull the ring, and the door can be opened and closed smoothly, and when it is closed, it is almost seamless, just like the original stone house.

    One big and one small liked it very much. One stood inside the door and the other stood outside the door, pulling the pull ring to open and close, having a great time.

    When Lin He came back carrying a bundle of palm leaves, this was the scene he saw.

    The bright smiles on the faces of Xu Jianian and Sui Sui swept away his exhaustion from busy work all afternoon, and he also curled the corners of his lips and smiled knowingly.

    Barrage: "Ah, ah, he loves him so much!"

    "My wife, I'm sorry, I cheated for a second, and your husband looks so fucking handsome when he smiles!"
