Sometimes people are just a little bit mean. After finally getting some rest and not having to get up in the middle of the night to work, Lin Guoqing couldn't sleep.
He tossed and turned for a long time, and finally reached out to touch Chen Chunhua again.
"Chunhua...I still want to..."
“…I have to go to work tomorrow!”
"I know, I can get up a little later this morning..."
…
Chen Chunhua felt that there was no need to wear pajamas tonight. She put them on and took them off again and again. It was so annoying.
"Spring flowers..."
"roll!"
…
In the second half of the night, Chen Chunhua was very tired and her eyelids were heavy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she felt a hand touching her waist. She reached out and pinched it with her thumb and index finger.
"Ah..." Lin Guoqing almost cried out in pain, and quickly covered his mouth with his other hand, his face filled with tears.
"Chunhua...you have changed. You were not like this before..."
"...You remembered wrongly. I used to sleep too."
Lin Guoqing buried his head in Shen Chunhua's shoulder in grievance, "You don't love me anymore..."
Chen Chunhua: ...Try dating a seventy-something old lady...
"Lin Guoqing, I'm really sleepy. If you really have a lot of energy, go dig a hole in the backyard. Don't disturb my sleep..."
The next second, Chen Chunhua tilted her head and fell asleep.
Lin Guoqing used his fingers to feel her breath. Okay, his wife was really sleepy. He tightened his grip, hugged his wife, and fell asleep.
When morning came, he was still the one who couldn't get up.
Then Chen Chunhua gave him a good beating, "Hurry up! It's time to go to work! If you're late and your work points are deducted, I'll scratch you to death!"
***
Lin Shumei seemed to be addicted to sleeping with her sister and refused to go to bed today.
Lin Guoqing grinned and praised her for being sensible, only Chen Chunhua's face was dark.
After the children fell asleep, Chen Chunhua stared at Lin Guoqing for a long time, and only said,
"We have some free time these two days, why don't we dig out the stuff in the backyard?"
Lin Guoqing: ...
"Didn't you say that even if you take it out now, you can't sell it?"
"It's been buried underground all this time, and you've never seen the real thing. Don't you feel uneasy?"
Lin Guoqing followed Chen Chunhua to the backyard, picked up the shovel, and his face was still confused.
"Chunhua...are you...are you..."
"What is it? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly!"
Lin Guoqing: "...Do you think that what I'm doing is not good? Are you uncomfortable? So you don't want to do it?"
Chen Chunhua: ...Not really.
Lin Guoqing: "Tell me, if my skills are not good, I will show you how I can practice and make you feel comfortable..."
"What are you going to practice? Where are you going to practice?" Chen Chunhua looked at him in disbelief, and Lin Guoqing blushed.
"No, what are you thinking!... It's not that you don't want to..."
"I've been married to you for nine years and have given birth to four children. Why should I not want to?" Chen Chunhua rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then stood there and organized her words.
"Well... you said the children were all asleep. You... you're so strong... how could you not make any noise? If you make any noise, they'll wake up. If you don't make any noise... don't make any noise... aren't you groaning all the time?"
As Chen Chunhua spoke, her face turned a little red. It was crazy to discuss such a topic with her in the middle of the night.
Lin Guoqing was quite happy to hear Chen Chunhua's explanation. To be honest, he even suspected that his wife had someone else outside, which was why she was so reluctant to him.
In a short period of time, he even imagined in his mind a drama of the wife fighting against the adulterer and how to win back his wife's heart.
It’s okay if it’s not, it’s okay if it’s not, hehehe…
"The main problem is that we don't have enough rooms! Once we make enough money, we'll build a house! We'll build two rooms, one for the boy and one for the girl, so we can have our own space!"
Chen Chunhua listened and nodded, "Yes, yes, you're right!" Then she pointed at the chickens that had been locked in cages and said, "Let's get to work. We'll try to dig him out this week."
Dig, dig, and use up all your energy! After digging the mud, go back and lie down and sleep!
Lin Guoqing obediently pushed the straw aside, lifted the rack, and began to shovel out the soil one shovel at a time.
Chen Chunhua also brought a hoe and helped dig.
Facts have proved that two people work faster than one person. After two or three hours of digging, they have dug a deeper hole than the one that Lin Guoqing had spent half a month digging.
Chen Chunhua wiped the sweat off her face and went back to the inner room to check the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. Then she came out and waved to Lin Guoqing.
"That's about it, go back and take a shower and go to bed, we'll continue tomorrow!"
"good!"
…
After digging for about five days, Lin Guoqing's shovel finally hit a hard object.
At this point, he was already standing at the bottom of the pit, and there was even a ladder on the side with a rechargeable lamp on top, which made it convenient for going up and down and for lighting.
He shoveled the soil into a winnowing basket, then Chen Chunhua lifted it up and poured it to one side, then lifted this winnowing basket down and lifted up another winnowing basket full of soil. The combination was perfect.
"Chunhua!" Lin Guoqing shouted upwards in a low voice, causing Shen Chunhua to squat at the edge of the pit and look down.
"What's the matter?"
Then, the clanging sound of Lin Guoqing hitting a hard object with a shovel was heard.
Chen Chunhua's eyes lit up immediately, "I found it!"
Lin Guoqing nodded excitedly, "I've dug a corner, throw me a short hoe."
Chen Chunhua quickly dug out a short-handled hoe from the corner where the farm tools were stored. Lin Guoqing stood close by, letting her find a gap and throw it down. Then he squatted on the ground and dug. Soon, he unearthed a box, securely wrapped in oil paper.
It's not small in size and heavy in weight.
Lin Guoqing remembered that Chen Chunhua had said in his dream that his grandfather had told him that there was tea set inside, which should be very fragile. So, just in case, he placed the box on the dustpan. Chen Chunhua slowly pulled it up from above, while Lin Guoqing climbed up with one hand holding the ladder and carefully held the box with the other hand.
As soon as he came up, he wanted to open the oil paper package to take a look, but Chen Chunhua pointed to the hole.
"Bring up the hoe and shovel. Let's fill the hole first. There's too much dirt outside."
What the couple feared most these past two days was someone coming to visit. Although the pile of dirt was leaning against the wall and covered with straw, one could actually see inside by just pushing it with their hands, which would make it difficult to explain.
And this pit, made of bamboo and straw, still caused my chickens to accidentally fall in twice. It was the same hen, and it scared her so much that she didn't lay an egg for three days.
So it’s better to fill it up quickly.
