Chapter 22: Chinese New Year 4
"What are you going to do today?"
"I'm going to make a mat out of that hay, and you're going to help clean the hole?"
"Okay."
After eating breakfast and feeding the pigs, the two of them arranged today's work by the way.
"You go up first, I'll make a fire for these three stoves first."
"How long will it take to use this?"
"Don't worry, it's only firm when it's dry."
"Tomorrow, do you want to worship the god of the hearth?"
"I don't really understand, you look at the arrangement."
-
Miao Miao went up to the third layer and spread the hay on the ground, picked out the bad ones, and then sat on the ground and began to weave straw ropes.
Long hay fluttered in her hands, and the rope in front of her grew longer and longer, piled up more and more.
"Need my help?"
"No, you can just sweep the dust."
"Then I'll make a broom first."
"Hmm." Miao Miao smiled and nodded.
Seeing that there was already a lot of straw rope in front of her, Miao Miao got up and fixed the straw rope in the shape of a paper clip.
Fold the end of the straw rope in half, then tie it with two more locks of hay. Then wrap the straw rope around, and then use hay to fix the two straw ropes separated by each other up and down, left and right. In this way, it was rolled and tied, and it was rolled and tied, until the straw mat was about two meters by three meters, and then stopped, and the tail was tucked into and tied and fixed.
"You can help me, this old man is sinking."
Miao Miao took the plastic sheet away from the place where she had been sleeping, and pulled the straw mat with Xiang Wen.
"So heavy."
"yes. Come, you pull over there and stuff the excess under the straw mat. Miao Miao commanded Xiang Wen Shundao to spread the plastic sheet and stuff it.
"It's like that. You also lie down and try it. Xiang Wen patted the empty seat beside him.
"It's still hard, but it's still better than the floor." Miao Miao closed her eyes contentedly, feeling her "new bed".
"That's it. You're really capable. ”
"It's over, and your broom is not bad." Xiang Wen folded a large handful of grass in half and tied it tightly, stuffed it into a wooden stick, and tied it twice to fix it. "It's still okay to sweep the dust."
"I'm clumsy, I can't do it well, next time you make one." Xiang Wen leaned sideways and propped his head and looked at Miao Miao.
"Where?" As soon as Miao Miao raised her eyes to Xiang Wen's eyes, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly couldn't breathe normally.
She held her breath and began to breathe a little heavily.
Xiang Wen gently held her hand, feeling the sound of breathing getting closer and closer, Miao Miao panicked for a while, got up and sat up.
"Don't be lazy, keep sweeping. I'll go get lunch ready. She didn't look back, and ran out of the cave as if she were running away.
"Whew." Xiang Wen exhaled heavily, and he was also half nervous to death. Luckily she escaped, otherwise she didn't know how to end up.
-
Outside the cave, Miao Miao sat on the edge of the forest, breathing heavily.
Although he knew that if he couldn't go back, they would definitely be together in the future, but today was too sudden, and he didn't have the slightest preparation.
Your face should still be dirty, right?
Do you have eye droppings in your eyes?
It's been a long time since I've brushed my teeth, and although I gargle my mouth, my mouth should have a bad smell, right?
……
Miao Miao suddenly felt funny, what kind of environment is this, and she still cares about this.
Look at yourself, the clothes on your body are dirty and smelly, and the exposed places are tanned. I guess it's the same on the face.
The ten fingernails are also grass stains left by feeding pigs and cutting grass every day.
The grass in the shoes he made on his feet had fallen away, and only two pieces of cloth were left hanging.
……
In this way, I still want to be in a decent relationship?
Miao Miao sat for a long time, motionless.
