SURVIVORS

Chaptre 414. Building a Milling House.

Doctors Chandra, Marianne and Aslan return at night, when all have returned home. In the stilt house, there was only Cloudy, who greeted with a subtle growl. He turned his body around looking for warmth.

"We'll just take a break" said Dr. Chandra. They each went home.

In the morning, Dr. Chandra looked wonderfully at the long hole in the ground in front of his house and passed through the flower garden.

"August, Doc. When are you guys back?" greet Indra as she flies off to take Niken to the stage house.

"We came home last night. But you're asleep" replied Dr. Chandra.

"What are you doing to do this?" Appoint Doctor Chandra to the ground.

"We want to make a watermill and windmill there!" point Indra to a location marked Dean.

"Oh .. So this is for the flow of water." Doctor Chandra nodded in understanding.

"Good! Continue on!" he said he gave consent.

"Yes, we'll continue today."

Indra and Doctor Chandra walk towards the stilt house.

"For Doc!" greet Robert as he sees Doctor Chandra climbing the steps of the stairs, followed by Indra.

"Good morning. You look fresh today" replied Dr. Chandra.

Robery and Sunil just smiled in response. They gave out food plates to everyone. Breakfast was porridge of wheat sprinkled with sweet and spicy meat.

"This porridge is so good!" Aslan's eyes glazed over.

"Why are you sad?" niken Hand.

"I remember mom. On his last day, he still had time to enjoy the delicious porridge made by Uncle Dean!" Aslan wiped the corner of her watery eyes.

"Isn't that good?" ask Indra.

"I feel less devoted. Less trying. So that I rarely enjoy good food." Aslan looked down sad.

"Oh, don't be sad anymore. We're not going!" marianne.

"Would you like to visit the city of Aslan?" ask Robert.

"No! We're going to Jakarta" replied Dr Chandra.

"You're gonna love our hometown!" said Niken.

"I'd love to see it. So it can build my city as well, he replied with passion.

"Do you guys need anything for that windmill?" Dr. Chandra offers help.

"I'll take note of it soon."

Dean left the table and went up to the second floor. He brought a picture book. Sheets of detailed sketches of the mill, he did until late at night.

Then Dean took note of the tools he needed. It was then handed over to Dr. Chandra.

"OKAY. I'll find!" Doctor Chandra.

After breakfast was over, Doctors Chandra, Marianne and Aslan left. Leave the other residents back to their busyness.

Robert, Sunil and Indra continue to make waterways. While Dean was busy building the grain processing plant.

"Good job!" praise Widuri that afternoon. He and Niken came to bring food to the men at work.

"Why did you come here?" ask Dean to worry.

"Here, eat a little!" Widuri thrust her luggage.

"It's hot in here. Let's return. I have to wash my hands first" Dean said.

He carried the body of Widuri, and took his wife flying towards the pool. Both rested under the shade of the trees.

"Dean, do you think .. would rather give birth here alone, or go to the Old Physician's place in the Port city?" ask Widuri.

"Wherever you like. I'll support you. We have Doctor Chandra anyway. What's there to worry about?" he's encouraging Widuri.

"alright. I'd rather be here, actually," honestly, Widuri.

"okay! If necessary, I invite the Old Physician to come here!" Dean smiled, calming his wife.

"Do you want your mom and dad to be with you?" bargain Dan.

Widuri stared at her husband full of love. The man always knew what he wanted, even before he said it. "Thank you for loving me, Dean." He leaned his head against Dean's shoulder.

"Niken is back. I'll continue the work. It should be done before you give birth!" said Dean. He kissed Widuri's forehead, before standing up and walking away.

"Is the diameter not too small?" ask Robert.

"Our water flow is also small. If the wheel is too big, it will be heavy and difficult to move," explained Dean.

"Yes too." Robert nodded. He took Dean who was chopping wood of the same size. Only Dean knows how to make it later.

"Dean, all the waterways are built, except that connection right there!" point Sunil.

"That was just lately. After we finish the installation of the mill," replied Dean.

Is there anything we can help you with here?" tanya Indra offered herself.

"none. You can rest or do something else. Hopefully this mill can be finished later in the afternoon," said Dean optimistically.

"You're gonna put it up?" ask Indra. He was surprised Dean could work so fast.

"No. The stone has not been made. That's why the wheel and the player have to be finished today. Because tomorrow it's time to make a millstone" Dean said.

"Where do you want to get the stone?" ask Indra lahi.

"Gua Grandpa Kang is full of rocks!" sahut Sunil's.

"No. The rock from the hill can also!" answer Dean.

"You've thought of everything!" praise Robert.

"Come on, don't bother him. I think we better check the vegetable garden and the fields for a while!" bring Sunil.

"Come ...." The three men flew over to inspect the vegetable garden and the fields.

In the afternoon everyone gathered. Robert brought the vegetables they picked. Niken cleaned and stored it in the fridge. While Widuri started preparing dinner.

The men bathed together in a clear pond, before joining the stilt house.

"Is the wheel ready?" ask Sunil.

Dean nodded, in response. "Heem."

"What plant do you think we don't have, here?" ask Robery.

"Sugar! We add honey to drinks and cakes, because of the lack of sugar!" sahut Indra fast.

"Where can we get the seeds?" ask Robert.

"Actually, it's not hard to get, in Indonesia. Especially in the villages" replied Indra.

"We also have to look for bamboo seeds. It's a versatile building material. It grows faster than trees. We can run out of trees if we keep building without planting again!" beber Dean's.

Three friends nodded. Now it has been seen that place is much wider, because there are not many more trees in the middle area.

"Other times perhi to jakarta, we should buy a lot of plants!" indra's Suan.

Freshwater fish also. We can make a fish pond on the empty land in front of my house," added Indra again.

"What a great idea!" tympanic Sunil.

"Hey, are you going to keep soaking until morning?" call Niken.

"Yes, we're coming!" Indra answered quickly. He immediately came out of the pool. The others followed.

"If we go to Jakarta again, we will buy a lot of plant seeds. What do you want?" ask Indra.

"I want roses, jasmine, gerbera, daisy ....." Niken immediately mentioned the names of flowers.

"Better to note, let's not forget," suggested Robert.

"I'll take note, after finishing my meal," Niken replied.

"You can also write, the plants you want to plant here!" dean said to Widuri.

"Later noted. When are you going there?" ask Widuri.

"If Dean doesn't need any more help, he'll be there tomorrow!" sahut Sunil's.

'All right ... done this, I made the note!" Widuri.
