Chapter 42: Milking Cows!
Zhou Zhengan really did the same as he requested, his appetite was great, and all the egg cakes entered his stomach except for the two pieces he ate on the summer solstice.
Zhou Zhengan also wanted to leave half for Xia Zhi, but Xia Zhi said that he had such a big appetite.
Zhou Zhengan swept the rest of the things into his stomach, and sometimes Xia Zhi wondered if Zhou Zhengan's stomach was a stomach?
But when he saw Zhou Zhengan's arm exerting force, the bulging tendon meat had to admit that this man's figure was really good, just looking at the muscles all over his body, he knew that he did a lot of strength exercises on weekdays.
No wonder you eat too much.
Zhou Zhengan is not as big as most men, and after the man finished eating, he diligently took all the dishes and chopsticks to wash and clean up.
"It's not a kang here, but I saw that there was a leather mattress on top of it. You squint there for a while, I'm here to guard the door, and I can be on guard in case there's any movement. ”
Zhou Zhengan was worried about whether there were only four people in those four old Maozi, and if their people found out that they didn't go back, they would probably come over.
Maybe it's really easy to get into trouble.
Xia Zhi didn't shirk either, the two of them couldn't both be here to waste.
Summer went to bed.
The big wooden bed was very sturdy and could sleep three or four people.
Sure enough, the bed was covered with a thick leather mattress, and the sheepskin mattress was covered with very clean floral sheets.
It indicates how gentle and virtuous the original hostess is.
Xia Zhi lay down, covered with a padded jacket.
Lie down and fall asleep.
I didn't even dream.
Zhou Zhengan glanced at Xia Zhi and found that Xia Zhi's little face had been buried in her leather jacket, and those furs had blocked her white and tender little face, and she couldn't be seen at this time, so he buried her.
Seeing Xia Zhi sleeping so deeply, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.
This girl has a big heart.
In the end, they are lonely men and widows, and they are not afraid to do something by themselves.
But he was a little happy in his heart, and he was still very satisfied with Xia Zhi's trust in him.
Leaning against the door, he sat in front of the earthen stove and added two sticks of firewood to the stove from time to time.
Zhou Zhengan's eyes fell on the outside of the door, listening intently to the outside.
At dawn, their comrades had not returned.
Xia Solstice yawned and got out of his leather jacket.
The messy hair was like a chicken nest, and he stretched his waist, and then he suddenly realized that this was a strange place, but this place was much better to sleep in than a nest in the ground.
Although the nest was covered with straw and a mat on top, there was some moisture that came up from under the mat.
And this wooden bed is breathable and sturdy.
The most important thing is that the mattress sleeps on it, insulating it from the cold below, and it is very warm. The whole person was surrounded by warmth, and this sleep was very comfortable.
As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhou Zhengan leaning against the door, leaning against the door panel, his eyes were closed, and his head was little by little.
It's like a chicken eating rice.
Summer Solstice got up and got out of bed.
Just like this, he immediately woke up Zhou Zhengan at the door, and his closed eyes flashed with sharp light.
When I saw that it was the summer solstice, the sharp light instantly softened.
"Are you awake?"
Zhou Zhengan stood up and moved, his back was a little stiff, and he could see from the window that it was already bright outside.
Xia Solstice came over, and while adding firewood to the stove, he said,
"You go and sleep on the kang for a while. It's dawn, I'm here to watch, I'll call you if there's anything. ”
Originally, Xia Zhi wanted to rotate with Zhou Zhengan, but who knew that he slept too comfortably and went straight to dawn.
"Still no, I just leaned against the door panel and squinted for a while, and I'm already awake by this time."
"I'll go outside and take a look around and see what's going on."
Zhou Zhengan estimated that their people should be coming soon.
Xia Solstice nodded and added firewood to the fire.
Cleaned up the house again.
After a while, Zhou Zhengan walked in, his face was a little happy.
"Found what?"
"Hey, Xiao Lu and his family are really capable, I really didn't expect that there were not only chickens in the back, but also a cow.
The cow and the chicken were screaming with hunger. ”
As soon as Xia Solstice heard this, his eyes sparkled in the early morning sun, and his black eyes were even deeper.
There are cows.
Where there are cows, there is milk.
The summer solstice immediately came to the spirit.
"Where's the captain? I'll take a look. ”
The thought of milk is a bit gluttonous, and if there is a chicken in the back, I am afraid that there will be eggs.
Milk is very nutritious, and it is not easy to find it these days.
Who would have thought that these two would raise a cow.
Zhou Zhengan pointed to the back.
"You don't need me to take you, you can see it yourself."
Watching Xia Solstice fly out like a cheerful bird, the smile on Zhou Zhengan's face became even bigger.
This girl has a very cheerful personality, and she knows everyone well.
After a while, Xia Solstice ran back again.
Go inside and take off one of the pots that hung on the wall.
And he took an apron and tied it to his body.
Zhou Zhengan followed behind her suspiciously,
"What are you doing here?"
The two of them bowed their heads and went into a barn in the back, which seemed to fit in with the small wooden hut, so that no one would really notice that there were animals in the place from the outside.
I walked in and adjusted to the dim light in the bone chamber. Then I saw that Xia Solstice didn't know where to turn out some feed and feed the cow.
Xia Zhi found out yesterday that there were two bags under the bed, which were put in some rice bran and mixed feed, and they were still wondering, these two families didn't raise any animals, what was the use of keeping these feeds.
At this time, she finally realized that she had just used this feed to feed the cows.
Not only did they feed the cows, but they also sprinkled feed on the seven or eight hens in the back hens.
Zhou Zhengan suddenly felt that he was being neglected.
The summer solstice seems to belong here, and it fits so well with this place.
With an apron and tidied up her hair, Xia Solstice seems to be a gentle and virtuous wife, I don't know why, it seems to be a little confused for such a summer solstice.
Xia Zhi was so complacent, without inviting Zhou Zhengan, he bent down and put a milk bucket that he didn't know where to touch and put it under the cow's body.
Zhou Zhengan walked over and asked,
"You can milk a cow?"
Not everyone knows how to milk a cow, even if it is a person on the ranch here.
"You'll wait and see if I'll be there."
With the movement of Xia Zhi's hand, the milk flowed smoothly into the bucket, and Xia Zhi looked back at Zhou Zhengan's black eyes shining, and the corners of his mouth were smug smiles.
"Summer Solstice, what the hell is your house for? How can you do anything? ”
Zhou Zhengan finally asked his own question, leaning on the wooden stake, he was particularly strange.
