Chapter 473 Study
He smiled helplessly: "When we dug the basement before, we carefully surveyed the location before we started. This time, we had no choice but to start right away, and we actually dug close to the groundwater."
"Oh, it's okay. It's been patched up and bypassed. There shouldn't be any more water seeping in. Go take a shower. You're so dirty."
Mu Xi was pushed into the bathroom by Zhao Yeqing to take a shower. She took Mu Xi's dirty clothes to the bathroom and washed them by hand. There was too much yellow mud on them and they could not be thrown directly into the washing machine. Otherwise, the washing machine would be extremely dirty after washing the clothes twice.
After washing off the yellow mud, wait until the water is a little clearer before throwing it into the washing machine.
Since the two of them made up their minds some time ago that if those people really came, they would fight back, ten days have passed and those people have not appeared again...
How should I put it? I don’t know why I still feel a little lost?
If they don't want to come, then don't come. We have to live our lives as usual. We can't worry too much and let those people disrupt our normal lives.
It was another sunny day today. Zhao Yeqing saw that the drinks he had made earlier in the refrigerator were almost finished, so he grabbed a handful of dried soybeans and threw them into the soy milk maker.
The soy milk machine is the kind that does not require boiling the soy milk after squeezing it out. It heats and boils while squeezing.
When using this soymilk maker, Zhao Yeqing doesn't like to put soaked soybeans in it, because the soymilk squeezed out of it will have a taste of raw beans. He prefers to use dry soybeans directly, and the result will be a rich and fragrant soybean flavor.
The only downside is that the soy milk produced by this machine is not the clear liquid sold in stores, but a soy milk with a certain thickness. Its advantage is that it is convenient and does not require moving a stone mill or cooking.
Now that the weather has turned a little cooler, she occasionally takes out the soy milk maker to make soy milk, or adds sesame seeds, peanuts, lotus seeds and the like to make a bowl of nutritious porridge.
When her appetite is poor, she will be full after eating one bowl. She prefers salty meat and only eats this kind of food once or twice occasionally, but Mu Xi likes sweet food and can eat it every day.
Sometimes Zhao Yeqing would squeeze a large pot of juice and put it in the refrigerator. When Mu Xi was hungry, he would just serve himself a large bowl and microwave it twice to have a meal. He was quite easy to feed.
Because he ate a lot, he consumed a lot of the sesame seeds, peanuts and soybeans that he had stored before. Zhao Yeqing thought that he should plant some more of these when he planted cotton in the spring of next year.
This year seems to be a little colder than last year. I thought it was my illusion before. During this period, Zhao Yeqing took Mu Xi's watch and checked it against the notes he made last year. It is indeed much colder.
Zhao Yeqing has the habit of taking farming notes. No matter whether it is cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, silkworms, fish, chickens, ducks, geese, or vegetables, fruits, grains, forage grass, mulberry leaves at home... she will make all kinds of notes to prevent any problems from occurring.
So over the years, even though there was no medicine, nothing serious had happened to either the livestock or the crops.
Zhao Yeqing always said that she had been spoiled and had become delicate, and she was not allowed to do any work in the fields, saying that she was too idle.
But Mu Xi knew that the whole family, from top to bottom, inside and out, would not be in such a good state today if it were not for Zhao Yeqing's care for every detail. He never thought that he had paid more, it was just a matter of physical strength, and anyone could do it.
Over the years, both of them felt that they owed each other something, and they only felt that they could love each other even more.
After taking a shower, Mu Xi sat in the kitchen and drank soy milk. Then he waited for Zhao Yeqing to finish her shower. He held her in his arms and carefully applied the hand cream he made on her hands.
The two of them have recently developed a habit of trying to finish what they need to do before it gets dark and they need to turn on the lights, and then go back to their room early, turn off the lights, and rest.
Right now the sun is about to set, and the afterglow shines in, making the room warm.
Homemade hand cream is not that easy to use and feels a bit greasy, but the effect is quite good. You just have to apply less, otherwise it will take a long time to be absorbed.
Tonight, Mu Xi accidentally applied too much, and Zhao Yeqing's hands were sticky and took a long time to absorb. She couldn't play with her phone while lying in bed, so Mu Xi had to help her hold the phone and play a romance movie she had watched before.
There is a tear-jerking part in the middle of the film. Zhao Yeqing has watched this film two or three times over the years, but thanks to her gifted memory and extremely sensitive tear glands, she can still cry her eyes out at the same time.
Mu Xi chose the right time and skillfully handed over the handkerchief with his other hand.
I remember the first time I watched this movie was in winter, while warming myself by the fireplace. Zhao Yeqing found this movie in a notebook he found in a tourist area. He cried halfway through the movie and then hurried out to go to the toilet without wiping the tears from his eyelashes. In the blink of an eye, his upper and lower eyelashes were frozen.
Fortunately, the tears contained salt, so they were just slightly stuck together. The weather wasn't the coldest at that time, so they could be rubbed apart gently. Zhao Yeqing was shocked and almost thought that one of his eyelashes was in danger.
Since then, Mu Xi remembered the time when Zhao Yeqing would cry in every movie and handed her the handkerchief on time.
There was a reason why Zhao Yeqing rushed out to go to the toilet that time, because he was a little shy.
In this foreign film, after the hero and heroine experienced various twists and turns in the tear-jerking plot, the emotions were like a raging fire, ready to explode. Both of them were stunned. No one expected that the owner of the laptop would download such an uncut version of a large-scale movie.
In short, the moment the sounds of "hmm" and "ah" appeared in the room, both of them were awkward. Zhao Yeqing didn't even care about the water droplets on his eyelashes, and ran out after saying he was going to the bathroom.
When they watched it again later, they both tacitly skipped that part of the plot.
But before that scene tonight, Mu Xi raised his hand to drag the progress bar, when a white and tender little hand stretched out from under the quilt and held Mu Xi's hand.
He turned his head to look at the owner of the little hand. Zhao Yeqing had buried his face in the quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. He stared at the screen without looking to the side at all.
It is not convenient for Mu Xi to drag the phone with the hand he is holding, but he can free up his thumb to double-click the screen to pause.
At the moment the picture froze, Zhao Yeqing knew that he would have to say something, so he cleared his throat and made a gesture as if he was going to say something long, but in the end he still did not reveal his mouth from under the quilt.
Mu Xi only heard her whisper under the quilt:
"Well, we can learn it."
