Chapter 537: Cradle (Four Watches)
"Oh!" the big girls pouted, bending unhappily and continuing their work.
Hua Banzhi watched her suppress the children strongly, she really couldn't help with this, and the hard days were still to come.
With the help of the children, the branches and branches in the front and back yards were picked up and thrown into the garbage heap.
With a simple tidying up, the yard is much cleaner.
"What are you going to do with this vegetable garden?" said Second Sister Qi as she looked at the seedlings lying on the ground.
"Wait until the evening to see if we can save it. Hua Banzhi looked at her and said.
"It's really a typhoon, this palm-sized yard is almost wiped out, and the peasants in the countryside are really ......" Qi Ermei said distressedly, "Can't you avoid it?"
"How to avoid this natural disaster, this is already an early warning, otherwise it will cause casualties. Hua Banzhi looked at her and said with relief, "It's good that people are alive." Changing the subject, he said, "Okay." I'm going to work, what about you?"
"We're fine, follow the light and continue to learn Cantonese. Second Sister Qi looked at her and said, "You're busy!"
"Hmm!" said Hua Banzhi turned on the faucet, "there is no water yet, and I don't know when the water will come." ”
"Aren't we next to the river, how can there be no water?" Qi Ermei asked strangely.
"Aunt Qi, go and see how muddy the river is. Zhou Guangming pointed to the river channel not far away, "like yellow mud soup, floating in it with branches, dead fish, rotten vegetable leaves, stinky socks, broken shoes, ......."
"Huh, don't talk about it. Second Sister Qi retched after speaking, covered her mouth and said, "I have a very shallow stomach now." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Hua Banzhi looked at them and said, "I'll go inside and bring some water, and everyone will wash their hands." As he spoke, he went into the house, leaned over his bag slightly, came out with water, and gave the four of them water and washed their hands.
"I'm leaving. Hua Banzhi waved at them and went to work.
&*&
I'm late for work today, and I've been nesting at home for the past two days, and I'm just sick and I've just eaten a bad stomach, so it's good to grab some medicine.
The morning passed like this, and it was time to get home from work and cook.
In the evening, the earth was scorched by the scorching sun for a day.
The golden light of the sunset and the slowly moving sea of clouds are intertwined, it is so magnificent and beautiful!
"As soon as the sun comes out, it's so hot. Zhou Guangming said sweating profusely.
"If it's hot, you'll have a fan. Hua Banzhi handed him the big pu fan.
Zhou Guangming shook the fan vigorously.
Hua Banzhi took off his shoes, stepped barefoot into the vegetable garden, stuck the bamboo pole into the mud, and lifted the fallen seedlings up and replanted them and tied them.
"Mother, are you still going to school?" Zhou Guangming looked at her and asked.
"Go to school, get the garden ready, and leave. Hua Banzhi looked back at him and said, "Can you do it yourself?"
"Yes. Zhou Guangming nodded heavily, "It wasn't all me before. Pointing to the seedlings, he said, "Mother, what about the mud on the leaves?"
"When the water comes, just rinse it with water. "Flower Half Branch looked at the mud and mud on the leaves.
"That's all there is to it. Zhou Guangming looked at the flowers shuttling in the vegetable garden and said, "Mother, I want to go in too." ”
"What are you doing here, it's fun to walk on the mud!" said Hua Hua without raising his head.
"Mother, how do you know. Zhou Guangming said in surprise.
"I'm your mother, as soon as you open your mouth, I know what your little brain thinks?" Hua Banzhi raised his eyes to look at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, reminding him by the way, "Don't come in, otherwise who will bring me water to wash my feet in a while!"
Zhou Guangming, who had already untied his shoelaces, put on his shoes again.
Flower half a branch to tidy up the vegetable garden, and those with seedlings can be saved. And those spinach and coriander that grow in the ground...... It will be impossible to save the scattered ones that have been washed away, and they will not be able to find them back.
"Then what should I do?" Zhou Guangming said in a low mood, "I can finally eat it." ”
"I had to plant it again. Hua Banzhi had no choice but to say.
"What if there is another typhoon? Zhou Guangming said worriedly.
"yes!" said Hana, scratching her head and thinking for a moment, "Ah! ”
"What's the way?" Zhou Guangming asked excitedly.
"Get some bamboo baskets, fill them with soil, plant spinach, rape, coriander, and when a typhoon comes, move them down the corridor, and you won't be able to get wet. Hua Banzhi came out of the vegetable patch, and said to his feet with water, "In this case, I will make a few more bamboo baskets." ”
"Mother, lie to me, obviously came out with water. Zhou Guangming looked at the basin and said.
"Is there one?" said Hana-half-branch, pretending to exaggerate, "I forgot." ”
"Mother, you can take a little leave. Zhou Guangming said with a smile.
"Yo, good boy, you can see that. Hua Banzhi looked up at him and said with a smile.
Wash your hands and feet, put a cloth bag on your back and leave.
Zhou Guangming, as usual, took a shower and went to bed when the time was almost up.
&*&
Two or three days later, production and life resumed, and it was difficult to see the embarrassment after the storm on the street.
Qi Ermei caught the little chicken, bought a chicken coop, and raised the chicken directly under her window.
In summer, they are afraid of the taste, the big girls clean the chicken coop every day, catch crickets under the street lamp at night, and the chickens eat well, one day at a time.
Hua Banzhi bought a large amount of bamboo strips from the stall owner.
After a few days of busy work, in the evening, there was still some time before class, and the flower half-branch sitting in the shade of the tree clapped his hands and said, "Okay." Looking at Zhou Guangming, "How about Guangming?"
"What is this?" Zhou Guangming said as he looked at the thing in front of him, "Ah! ”
"That's right, it's the cradle, it's made up for the baby in your Aunt Qi's belly. Hua Banzhi looked at him and smiled and said.
The bamboo cradle is cool, breathable, and comfortable, and my mother doesn't have to hold it all the time.
"Flowey, we're coming. Second Sister Qi walked over with the children and said, "It's cool here for you,"
"Cradle?" Second Sister Qi looked at Hua Banzhi and asked happily, "You have it." ”
"No?" Hua Banzhi looked at her and shook her head slightly.
"Mother, what are you talking about?, why can't I understand?" Zhou Guangming looked at the two of them in confusion and said.
"What are the children doing when they are so clear?" Hua Banzhi looked at Zhou Guangming and said, "Go and lead the big girls to play in the corridor." ”
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming said with his mouth flat and shaking his head, "Adults always say strange things behind our backs. ”
"What are you muttering?" Hua Banzhi said amusedly as she looked at him, looked at him and urged, "Quickly move a chair for your Aunt Qi." ”
"Here it is. Zhou Guangming looked at the eldest girl and said, "You go and sit under the corridor first, and I'll move a chair." ”
Zhou Guangming staggered down the corridor and moved a bamboo chair under the tree, "Aunt Qi sit!"
Second Sister Qi sat down, looked at Zhou Guangming and said, "Let's go play!"
