MTL - After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pampered-Chapter 62 chop wood

Chapter 62: Cutting Wood

 Others looked at each other.

“This matter is voluntary and spontaneous. Since they are unwilling to sweep the snow from their own dens, we can just clear the roads we should sweep and the snow from our own dens.

I can't force others to do this. If you have any opinions, you can make your own decision.

  After all, this is not an official act, but my personal advice to you. "

Xia Zhi said to everyone very sincerely that after all, this matter is my own consent, and she knows the consequences, but others do not. Many people really think that she is meddling in other people's business.

 Although she knows this experience most of the time, it is obviously not that easy to get recognition from others.

  Nor prepared to gain recognition from others.

People are like this. If you don't suffer a loss or be fooled, you won't know the consequences, and you will always feel that others are dictating.

Liu Haidong, Zhao Hong and the others shook their heads.

"No, we listen to you on the summer solstice. There is nothing to do anyway. We are just resting in the den in the ground. We need books or newspapers here."

It's better to go out and do some work, move around and keep yourself warm.

Comrade Xia Zhi, can you make a request? "

Liu Haidong came up with his face wrapped around his face.

 “Eldest nephew, what do you want to do?”

Liu Zhiyan looked at Liu Haidong with a cold face, and was a little angry when she saw that he was not a good person. After all, she was his aunt.

“Auntie, don’t be like this. I’m not a bad person. I just keep smelling the aroma of food coming from your and Xia Zhi’s nest.

 You also know who can cook when we are at home?

With just my two knives, it is not easy to cook the rice well, but it is too difficult to make it delicious.

 From the few months I lived here, I almost vomited from the food I cooked, so we discussed whether we could set up a fire.

Look at how pitiful we two grown men are. We have lost weight from hunger in the past few months, and we are about to rest and cannot go to the canteen on the construction site to eat.

You have to come back and cook for yourself. We are willing to send the food over and we can team up together, okay? "

Liu Zhiyan waved her hands hurriedly when she heard this.

　　"You can pull me down. Who's going to be your partner?"

It’s not like you don’t know that Captain Zhou eats with all of us every day. You came here and you have the nerve to take advantage of Captain Zhou’s meal? "

Liu Haidong retracted his head silently, forgetting about Captain Zhou.

 Forgetting that Captain Zhou had three meals a day, he went to Diwozi on time to report.

Oh, what a bad luck.

“It’s definitely not possible to have a meal on weekdays. You can only handle the cooking matters by yourself. This is not a matter of one or two days. If you really want to cook with us, I’m afraid we won’t be happy.

 After all, who wants to come back from work, already tired, and have to cook for everyone?

Are you willing to put it on you? "

Xia Zhi’s words with a smile immediately made Wang Zhiguo, who lived with Liu Haidong and him, shake his head.

　　"That would definitely not be a pleasure."

“Yes, if you compare yourself to others, why should lesbians cook for you?

Even Liu Qianjin came to our place to help us collect firewood and water. He would also protect us when we went out and do some physical work for us within his ability. "

 “But we can do it too.”

Liu Haidong thought he could struggle. Although Captain Zhou was strict, Captain Zhou couldn't stop others from cooking together.

“You guys really don’t need to think about cooking. Although you can do it, Liu Jinjin has already done all the work for both of us. If you come, you will be taking credit for Liu Jinjin.

 In fact, cooking for two people is not that difficult. If you encounter any problems when cooking and you don’t understand, you can come to us and ask us, and we can also guide you. And if there are only two people, you can coordinate this relationship very well.

If you cook delicious food, you will be able to impress your wife with your good cooking skills in the future. "

Liu Haidong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

“Well, now that we are here, why do we still want to get a wife?

There are many women and few men here. Where can we get a wife? "

 Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the matter was finally over.

 Dozens of people started clearing the snow in full swing.

The young comrades who came to inform them saw that everyone was working, and felt that the captain was really worried. I don’t know why the educated youth this time were particularly easy to take care of.

They have a lot less things to do than the educated youths of previous years, and they are very sensible. You see, just after it snowed for half a day, people came out to clear the snow themselves.

Zhou Zhengan naturally didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart. Everyone spent the first snow like this. After the snow stopped, the north wind started blowing, and the weather here became really cold.

 At its highest, the temperature here can drop to minus 40 degrees.

 Generally speaking, the temperature in the underground nest is pretty good. After all, the height of the underground nest is not high enough, and there is a fire wall inside that makes it airtight. Generally speaking, the thermal insulation ability is pretty good.

The educated youths also huddled in their dens in the ground, and no one wanted to go out.

But the saddest thing is that I have to go out to collect firewood every ten days and a half. If I don’t collect firewood, the temperature in this place will not be maintained.

Who can afford to burn charcoal these days? Everyone uses local materials.

On this day, Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan wore thick clothes, scarves and hats, and went out to chop wood with gloves and axes.

 The splint on Liu Zhiyan's arm has been removed. After being examined by the hygienist, she is recovering well.

  Basically, the arm can return to its original state.

It’s just that the three months of breaking bones and tendons in the normal sense have not yet come.

 But she still had no problem doing basic housework. This time she and Xia Zhi went out to chop wood. Of course, she was not the one chopping wood.

She is responsible for carrying a load of firewood. Even carrying a bundle of firewood back can lighten everyone's burden a little.

At the moment, they get along well with Liu Haidong, Zhao Hong and the others. Every time they chop wood, they go together in groups of a dozen or so.

 In this way, there is strength in numbers.

The male comrades are responsible for chopping firewood, and the female comrades are responsible for carrying the firewood downwards.

 Basically, men and women work together without getting tired.

 It can also ensure safety. You won’t be afraid of encountering wild animals when you go out.

They had to go out quickly. The weather was gloomy and it was likely to snow again in less than half a day.

They went to collect firewood in advance to avoid being unable to go out for a few days after the snow.

Stepping out of the den, I saw other people.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and walked directly towards the reed marsh. The reed marsh is good in winter, the ground is frozen and hard, and even the swamps will be frozen and hard.

 In winter, this is obviously the best place to cut firewood. In addition to the reeds, there are more Haloxylon ammodendron firewood near the reed swamps.

 Given the moistness of the soil here, Haloxylon ammodendron grows very luxuriantly here.
