Chapter 189 188. Work hard
It is probably rare for Zhou Qian to reveal his true feelings like this. After finishing those words, Zhou Qian felt a little embarrassed. He then stood up straight and stared at the flower basket held by Huai Yu:
"A gift to me——"
The smiling words stopped abruptly.
Because the pink and white flower branches and dark green leaves are piled up like snow in the small bamboo basket, they are lush and delicate, and they are so fresh that it is hard to ignore.
"This is... the flower of the Rose Corridor?"
Somehow, Zhou Qian remembered the branch that was cut off by the ice blade in the elm tree house. Even now that he knew Huaiyu had many secrets, he still couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and his whole body tense up.
Seriously, he doesn’t deserve such a big bouquet!
But he didn’t think it was important, but Huaiyu liked to decorate the house. At this moment, he enthusiastically handed the flower basket over: "Does it look good?"
"I picked it specially! There are some that are in full bloom. , there are also ones with buds, which can be kept in a bottle for a long time.”
Zhou Qian quickly found an excuse: "Thank you, I like it very much. But you also know that my life is rough and I don't have a vase at home."
"I know!" Huaiyu had already entered the yard by himself:< br>
“You forgot, I have already come to your house to see it. How could I not know if there is a vase?”
“But your comrades are very considerate, big and small buckets There are three of them, and there is the smallest bucket. I think you may not need it. It is just used for flower arrangement.”
In the sun, the emerald green glass-like well platform stands there, making this little one stand there. The courtyard looked brighter inexplicably.
Huaiyu, a familiar person, stood by the well and took out the smallest bucket, and sighed with envy: "You still have a well at home. It will be more convenient to change the water for the flowers."
Walking around , the rose branches in the flower basket swayed, as if they had their own vitality.
Every time it swings, it's like tugging at Zhou Qian's heart.
He followed subconsciously, and then said: "But using this bucket, will it be wronged?"
"No."
Huaiyu took out the flowers from the basket.
She probably had a plan in advance, so she cut more flower branches this time than she originally put in the vase. She didn’t need to put any special shapes into it, and she made the whole vase into a fluffy and full vase. Huge bouquet.
Then he took a step back and looked left and right. He was obviously very satisfied with the gift he gave.
"Rose Corridor is not that superficial in her vase-picking character, and this barrel is oak-colored, which matches well."
Zhou Qian was speechless.
As rough as he is, he can't get anything out of an oak barrel with roses. At this moment, he is just racking his brains to return this bouquet of flowers to its original owner.
At this time, he saw a fat bamboo shoot left in the bamboo basket, and his eyes lit up:
"Why don't you stop playing with the flowers? Let's have a meal first!" I'll fry some bamboo shoots for you at noon."
Huaiyu said "ah" and then shook his head: "No, I've already thought of a way to eat it."
She rolled up her sleeves. I was about to shake the bucket out of the well, and when I was holding the wooden handle, I suddenly saw the tall and strong Zhou Qian standing beside me, so I reacted——
yes!
A man as big as Zhou Qian should do some strenuous work!
So he took a step back decisively and commanded: "Shake the bucket up."
Zhou Qian: "?"
He took the handle and turned it slightly twice. The hemp rope was spinning around the windlass, and I felt that the weight was wrong. It seemed that the bucket had not been put into the water.
The next moment, Huaiyu had already cheered, took down the bucket, opened it and saw that there was a big pot of meat inside!
And she proudly offered her treasure: "Bullfrog and pheasant! This is more delicious than the one in the hospital. I just cut the bamboo shoots in and cooked them together at noon!"
That is to say——
"You don't have to work hard to cook! Brother Zhou Qian, hurry up and fetch water. You have to raise the roses."
"By the way, do you like flowers in the living room or the bedroom?" Zhou Qian Qian: "..."
"Living room." This was his last stubbornness.
With water in the wooden bucket and such a large bouquet of flowers, it was still a bit difficult for Huaiyu to hold it. So Zhou Qian had no choice but to carefully place it on the table in the living room as if facing a formidable enemy.
Although I am still wary in my heart, I don’t know why, when the flower branches are placed on the table, they tremble slightly, and even the neat and simple room seems to be surging with life.
He couldn't help but slow down.
Turning his head, he saw Huai Yu looking at him expectantly: "Are you in a good mood now?"
"If you are, when can you help me move the tank?"
>Zhou Qian laughed.
Yes, the impact I received in the morning was too great, and I forgot the most important physical work.
He then responded calmly: "Okay, I'll go there after lunch. You can think about any other strenuous work, and I'll help you do it together."
He had his comrades help build the house, and the defense army provided him with all his daily necessities. Huaiyu's home was built up little by little from the dozen or so pine cones she had at the beginning.
And when the tree house was destroyed, the other party cried so miserably...
Looking back now, Zhou Qian couldn't help but blush.
Speaking of physical labor, there are so many in Huaiyu!
"Can you help plow the ground? I can give you vegetable seedlings."
Her spawning ability is simply unique in terms of planting. A single potato can be planted on two acres of land. It would be a pity not to expand the scale.
Also...
"Can you fish? There is a snakehead fish in the pond that is very fierce and I can't catch it."
That was the trap she used on Sanqing Mountain The big snakehead fish that came back was originally kept in a puddle under the barnyard tree with the intention of eating it, but it was delayed.
When he woke up again, there was no trace of the other party. He might have already entered the pond.
Huaiyu bought fish fry inside!
This is great, I'm afraid it won't eat it up.
But later she used her purifying power to attract the big black fish. When she put the cage down, it was torn open and the fish disappeared.
Now we can only count on Zhou Qian!
Otherwise in a pond as big as hers, not a single fish would be able to survive.
Zhou Qian couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little guilty.
Looking for a fish in such a big pond, and it is a mutant snakehead, let alone the bait, what kind of fishing line and fishing rod can withstand such strange force?
“Oh, that’s right.”
Huaiyu became happy again: “Fanda—Sister Shen Xing’s team member once sent me a lot of sundries, and half of them were They're all heavy metal. "
"You can go and see if there's any that can be used - by the way, can you chop some firewood for me? "
This is Huaiyu's biggest worry now.
Because the firewood dragged down from the mountain before, including the ones chopped and piled neatly by Lin Xuefeng, had been burned long ago.
Recently, she has been dragging some dead branches back from a small slope in the distance so that she can have firewood for cooking.
But because they were cut down by the defense army many years ago when they were cleaning up, those dead branches are not resistant to burning, and because they grow in a mess, even if they have help from Big and Two, they don’t know how to make it convenient after all. After stuffing it into the stove, you have to rework it.
Today...
"My house is going to run out of firewood."
