Seeing that it was still early outside, Shen Siyue ran back home, took a big broom from the yard, and carried it back to the shabby house.
Then I started cleaning the house.
Clear away all the large branches and leaves on the ground.
Then he started to push the thick dust on the ground with a broom.
It would be great if we had a shovel now, but this is an important farm tool and is kept locked in the village warehouse. Most people don’t have it.
Shen Siyue took great effort to push the thick dust on the ground out of the house.
Then use a broom to sweep out the ground that had been compacted.
Shen Siyue looked at the clean ground, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief.
Just the task of cleaning the floor in the house kept Shen Siyue busy until dark.
Just as she was standing at the door and was about to go home with the broom, she bumped into Shi Tou who was coming back from outside.
Both of them paused in shock.
Shen Siyue looked at the direction he came from, and it was obvious that he came back from a place far outside the village.
She was very surprised. Why did this person come back from outside so late?
Shitou was puzzled as to why the girl from the Shen family was still hanging around outside the village so late at night.
Shi Tou's eyes involuntarily fell on the broom in her hand, then looked at where she was standing and the things piled outside the house.
Finally, it fell on Shen Siyue’s face again.
The confusion and puzzlement in his eyes were too obvious to be ignored.
Considering that he had helped her last time, yes, although Shen Siyue was fierce to him at that time, but thinking about it afterwards, he was more inclined to himself when he tried to stop the fight.
So Shen Siyue smiled at him: “The village chief gave me this broken house temporarily, and we will be neighbors in the future, haha!”
Stone's house is on the edge of the village. Although it is about fifty or sixty meters away from here, compared with other houses in Dongliang Village, it is the closest to here.
It wasn't without purpose that Shen Siyue called them neighbors.
Shitou frowned. The house didn't even have a roof, how could people live in it?
Shen Siyue didn’t know what he was thinking, and seeing him frown, she thought he didn’t want to talk to her, so she raised her eyebrows and shrugged, then motioned to him: “You go first?”
Shitou looked at the sky and thought it was not appropriate to talk at this time. If others saw them standing together so late at night, it would be bad for her reputation.
So he just nodded and walked towards his home.
But after walking a few steps, he couldn’t help it, and turned back to Shen Siyue and said, “If there is anything you can’t do, you can ask me for help!”
After saying that, he didn’t wait for Shen Siyue to answer and strode away.
Shitou’s words were beyond Shen Siyue’s expectations.
Apart from the last time he helped to mediate a fight, the two of them had almost no interaction before.
She thought this person didn't want to talk to her.
Now it seems that it may be because I don’t talk much.
However, when she waited for Shi Tou to walk over and was about to take a step back to Shen's house, she was suddenly stunned.
There was a big basket on Shitou's back, and from the outside, it looked like there were just some leaves or something inside.
But what stunned Shen Siyue was that along the direction of the stone coming towards her, a faint fragrance actually drifted with the wind.
And it smells meaty.
But when Shen Siyue sniffed hard again, she couldn't smell it anymore.
She frowned as she watched Shi Tou's figure gradually disappear into the distance, and began to wonder if she was hallucinating because she hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Standing there, feeling sad for a while about her current hard life, Shen Siyue hurried back to the Shen family before it got completely dark.
From then on, Shen Siyue changed her usual laziness of staying in the house, and started to clean up her little home little by little every day, going out early and coming back late.
Last time, after cleaning the ground, Shen Siyue moved a stool from the Shen family and swept down the scattered broken wood and spider webs hanging on the small house.
After cleaning up all this, although the house is still a tube with only four walls, at least it doesn't look dilapidated anymore.
Shen Siyue faced the whistling northwest wind and grinned, happy for her achievements in the past two days.
Next, April Shen took the axe from the Shen family and went to the nearest pine forest.
She was slowly saving up some wood for the roof.
Most of the mountains in rural areas of Northeast China are rocky, and the main trees on the mountains are pine trees.
Although it is called a pine forest, it is actually not very big.
Although there are many poplar trees planted in the village, those poplar trees either belong to the villagers or to certain families, and not everyone can cut them down at will.
So Shen Siyue set her sights on this pine forest.
Although Liu Changshan said that he could ask someone to help her repair the house after the weather got warmer in the spring, he didn't say anything about preparing materials for her.
So she felt that she had to find a way on her own, as relying on others was always unreliable.
Shen Siyue picked a pine tree with a diameter of less than 30 centimeters and started chopping it from the root with an axe.
After a while, Shen Siyue’s arms were sore.
Even though she can fight with the Shen family, that's because she is so ruthless and doesn't care about her life.
But felling a tree is not something that can be done in one go.
Shen Siyue was so tired that she sat on the ground beside him and gasped for breath.
When he had rested enough, he had to get up again and continue swinging the axe.
In the past, she had only cut thinner branches from pine trees and thought that cutting trees was easy. But when she really used an axe to cut the main trunk, she found that it was not only a physical job, but also a technical job.
The reason why Shen Siyue was struggling was because she couldn’t chop the axe in a similar position.
This resulted in a lot of her efforts being wasted.
By the time she finally cut down the tree, she was sweating inside her cotton jacket.
Looking at her own achievements, Shen Siyue finally smiled for the first time today.
It’s not easy.
My palms are covered with blisters.
Although she had Shen Siyue's memories and knew how to do many farm chores, when she really started doing them, she found that her brain knew how to do it, but her hands didn't!
Chen Siyue rested for a while, then tied the hemp rope he brought to a big tree, made a knot, and crawled into the knot, a bit like a boatman pulling an oar, dragging it towards home little by little.
If the difficulty of chopping down a tree is 7 stars, then the difficulty of dragging the tree back will increase by one more star.
This was because there was snow on the mountain, which acted as a lubricant, and it was downhill. Otherwise, if it were bare land, Shen Siyue probably wouldn't have been able to drag the boat back.
It's really too heavy.
She had to delay and stop for a while.
When we got to the foot of the mountain, the ground was flat and there was less snow on the road, so it became even more difficult.
Shen Siyue tried her best, but it was like an ant carrying a heavy object. She was less than 200 meters away from home, but she couldn't drag it back.
Sitting on the tree and wiping the sweat off her face, Shen Siyue felt that this was not a solution.
After thinking about it, since I can't drag it back, I might as well cut off the branches.
Then cut off the main trunk.
Break it down into pieces!
Just as she had cleared all the branches off the tree and was looking at the trunk, wondering where to strike the axe, Stone came over from a distance.
