Chapter 172 Snowman
When I woke up in the morning, Mu Xi was no longer by my side.
Now she is used to it and stays in bed for a few minutes before getting up and getting dressed.
I walked to the door yawning, opened my mouth and froze, and saw an oversized snowman in the yard.
The snowman is the most common style, with a body made up of two large balls, but this snowman is very tall, about 1.8 meters tall.
The expression is outlined with branches, making it look sad, with s-shaped eyebrows, two dots for eyes, and a downward-pointing V mouth.
(︿).
The snowman raised his hands as if in surrender.
Mu Xi heard her open the door, and poked his head out of the kitchen. Seeing that she had already seen the snowman in the yard, he put down what he was holding and walked to the snowman.
Only then did Zhao Yeqing realize that this snowman was a life-size replica of Mu Xi. He raised his hands uncomfortably, his face looked strong and calm, but his ears were completely red.
"I was wrong. I'm not careless. I really just think that everything you cook is delicious. Don't be angry."
He recalled the actions of the two last night, it should be like this...
A 1.80-meter-tall man and a 1.80-meter-tall snowman stand together with their hands raised. Don't you think this scene is amazing?
It's quite embarrassing.
There is a hint of cuteness in the embarrassment.
Zhao Yeqing felt the straight man's efforts and tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Mu Xi put down his raised hands, walked forward, and frowned.
"real."
Zhao Yeqing nodded vigorously, his tone containing an undisguised smile, "I know, I know, I'm not angry."
Seeing how nervous he was, she regretted teasing him for a moment and squeezed his palm soothingly.
Seeing that she really wasn't angry, Mu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "So you slept with your back to me last night?"
Um?
She was a little confused, "When?"
"Last night."
"How would I know if I fell asleep?"
"Oh."
"Mu Xi, can you give me another one?"
"...Wrong."
The consequence of the mistake was that Zhao Yeqing sat at the kitchen door, watching Mu Xi build another life-size snowman of Zhao Yeqing next to his own life-size snowman.
The two snowmen who raised their hands finally became like this——(^^)(^^)
Zhao Yeqing turned on his mobile phone, stood by the wall, set the time-lapse photography function, and then the two of them stood on both sides of the snowman and took pictures.
She checked that it was in focus and quickly turned off the phone.
“It would be nice if it was a Polaroid camera.”
She has now almost completely gotten used to life without electronic products. In her spare time, she sews insoles and knits scarves, and occasionally tries knitting sweaters when she feels like it.
But I failed several times. It doesn’t matter. I can kill time by taking apart sweaters and rolling up the yarn.
Unable to knit the sweater, Mu Xi thought of the sheepskin that had already been processed.
"There are only two sheepskins. With my skills, they may not be enough to make a long coat, but they are okay for a short vest."
There was a tape measure at home, so Zhao Yeqing measured his waist circumference. As soon as the number was read out, Zhao Yeqing's eyes widened.
"Master Duo?!"
Mu Xi... "What's your accent?"
Zhao Yeqing grabbed the measuring tape in disbelief, and after measuring his waist, he slumped in the rocking chair.
She grew 8 centimeters taller. Just a few months after summer, she gained weight.
Mu Xi saw her stand up from the chair.
"Where are you going?"
“I’m going for a run!”
“Running in the snow with a ruler?”
Zhao Yeqing paused, and Mu Xi walked over to take the measuring tape. "Don't worry about it. If you want to lose weight, you will lose weight naturally after winter is over."
It's not just a matter of losing weight. She felt a little dizzy when she stood up just now.
“I haven’t exercised in too long.”
"Then exercise moderately. Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn a few moves? I'll teach you."
Zhao Yeqing then remembered that in the summer he felt that he was not as strong as Mu Xi, so he said he would exercise, but later he forgot about it as he was farming and raising sheep.
The two wrote down a series of exercise plans on paper.
Aerobic, anaerobic and equipment - bottles filled with water and various combinations of hemp ropes, sticks and stones.
-
With exercise and diet, my waist circumference decreased by two centimeters in a week.
I don't want to stay in bed when I wake up in the morning.
Exercise refreshed her from her winter lethargy.
I got up in the morning and moved around for a while before leaving the room.
Mu Xi took another chicken out of the chicken coop.
"Dead again?"
The temperature has been rising recently, already reaching minus 15 degrees Celsius. How can someone still freeze to death at this time?
Mu Xi showed the wound on the chicken's body, "It must have been pecked to death."
There are only a dozen chickens left at home. It is difficult for them to hatch chicks in winter. If they continue to die like this, we will only be able to eat pheasants in the future.
After Mu Xi brought the chicken into the house, he planned to go back to the kitchen to get hot water and then pluck the chicken feathers.
With an unintentional glance, I saw that the water level in the well seemed to have risen a little.
It is speculated that the rise in groundwater may be due to the gradual melting of snow recently.
While plucking the chicken feathers, Zhao Yeqing finished his breakfast, put the rice into the food bowls of several dogs, and shouted into the house a few times, but the dog did not come out.
Usually in the morning, dogs will eat some of last night’s leftovers, and eat more at night.
Zhao Yeqing waited for a while before walking into the house. He saw that all the dogs were standing still in the house, and even Huhu and Xuebing did not go out.
"What's going on? Da Huang, take the kids to eat."
When he heard Zhao Yeqing calling his name, Dahuang slowly wagged his tail and walked over.
I was absent-minded even when eating.
Zhao Yeqing didn't know how to tell whether the dog was sick.
Mu Xi walked in to check and found that the dog was not sneezing or having a runny nose, nor did he have a fever. Although he stopped moving while eating, he still finished his meal.
It doesn't look like a loss of appetite.
But as long as you are not sick, that's fine.
Seeing that it was still relatively warm today, the two men thought about going out to cut some more grass and drying it in the sun to feed the cattle and sheep.
When I walked out of the kitchen, I smelled the smell of rotten eggs.
"Are there any eggs that haven't been found?"
Zhao Yeqing covered his nose and walked towards the chicken coop.
The dogs in the house suddenly started barking. She paused as she walked towards the chicken coop, thinking that a fox had entered the kitchen again, and hurried inside.
But there was nothing in the house, and a few dogs were just barking at the air.
"What's going on? Is it so rotten by the eggs?"
Mu Xi was also a little puzzled. He checked the chicken coop and found that the chickens inside were no longer fighting, but were just huddled together.
There were no eggs in the chicken coop either.
The smell doesn't come from here.
Just when I was about to go to the kitchen to check, I saw Zhao Yeqing standing at the kitchen door, staring blankly at the sky.
"Mu Xi, look at that cloud, isn't it a bit abnormal?"
