Chapter 23: Chinese New Year 5
"I'm hungry." Xiang Wen came out of the cave pitifully.
Miao Miao looked at the man in front of her, his tanned face was sloppy, his pants were dirty, the shoes on his feet were no longer known where they had been thrown, and his ten toes were still rubbing restlessly with sand, full of homeless appearance. Looking at him is like seeing yourself.
"Hungry? Let's go, go back. Miao Miao stood up and patted her buttocks. Accept your fate, what else can you do!
Xiang Wen hurriedly followed. "I've almost swept the third floor of the cave, and the firewood has been piled up, please go back and check the work."
"Hmph." Miao Miaojiao snorted and entered the cave.
The fire on the second floor of the cave was blazing. On the fire next to the stove, there was a grain of breadfruit, and the smell began to waft through. Miao Miao glanced at Xiang Wen, and Xiang Wen smiled and rubbed his hands. I don't know if this way of coaxing people is satisfied?
The remaining grass of the third layer of straw rope has also been re-tied, and it is neatly stacked against the cliff wall with firewood. The floor was also cleaned.
"Count your acquaintances and eat." Miao Miao went down the stairs, and seeing that he looked sincerely afraid of flattering, he also felt distressed. King Xiang was intentional, and the goddess was not unintentional, but something was wrong, which made the two of them so embarrassed.
"What are we going to do that afternoon?"
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know, no, wait for your instructions." Xiang Wen blinked and looked at Miao Miao.
"Then let's build another pond, and if you catch fish in the future, you can put them in for a few days."
"Are you going to chop bamboo again?"
"No, just build one with stones."
"Okay, then I'll dig some dirt later. So where are you going to build? There seems to be no place on this floor. Xiang Wen looked at the open space beside him.
"It's a pity that the first floor can't be used, it's such a big place." Miao Miao is also a little embarrassed, she doesn't want to build the fish pond on the third floor, but there is no more space on the second floor, and the first floor can't be put because the tide will be flooded.
"The space on the first floor can be used, but it is too labor-intensive and a big project." Xiang Wen looked at the cliff wall above the cave entrance on the opposite side of the second floor.
"Do you have a good idea? Say it. ”
"See? The concave and convex cliff wall on the opposite side of the hole. ”
"See, what's wrong?"
"Isn't it okay to chop wood and put it on the cliff wall and the platform on the second floor?"
"Miaoye, that's a lot of space, when the time comes, make a movable lid in the direction of the second floor, and sleeping at night is equivalent to locking the door." Miao Miao clapped her hands and praised.
"Hehe, you think so much, it's still a problem how to cut so much wood."
"It doesn't matter, we don't have anything, the most time. Cutting down one tree in ten days, and 36 trees a year, is more than enough, right? "The space on the first floor can be used, which makes Miao Miao very excited.
"Yes, you're right, let's look for any fallen trees in the afternoon, and then officially start work after the New Year."
"Good. That's it. Hurry up and eat. ”
Xiang Wen looked at the anxious woman in front of him, angry and funny.
-
"Let's go, hurry." Miao Miao kept urging.
"Aren't you taking a break?"
"What are you resting on, I can't wait to cut down the tree right away."
"Hmph, you can still be so excited after a day or two." When Xiang Wen thought of so many trees, he suddenly wanted to rest. Hey, why do you have to talk too much?
The two of them went out of the cave and looked for the left side of the island from the place where the grass had been cut last at the foot of the mountain near the cave.
"Hey, the grass should be cut by the way." Xiang Wen looked at the dense grass under his feet, and there was no way to get his feet, which was very different from the place where he had been cut.
"It's going to be a year before you're done cutting the grass. If you can find the best, if you can't find the horizontal and vertical, cut down a few more trees. Anyway, the afternoon is also to pass the time. ”
Xiang Wen couldn't even refute it, after all, it still sounded very reasonable.
……
The two of them walked to the west of the sun, but they couldn't find the fallen trees.
"Alright, let's go. Get back. ”
"Huh? It's better to sleep in a cave. ”
"Alright, a bunch of whining. Go home and go to sleep. Miao Miao said angrily.
On the beach, the figures of the two people returning home were stretched for a long time in the sunset......
