Chapter 528 Busy
What she was talking about was that after the fuse was lit, the explosives ignited the edge of the woods and the black smoke rose.
The fire after the explosion was brought under control quickly. Mu Xi didn't expect that she would see it. She didn't want to tell anyone about the young murderer, but she was afraid that what if she met such a person again.
These brainwashed people seem innocent and harmless and are very young, but their thoughts are evil and extreme.
So the story of him throwing explosives into the mine was omitted, and it was only said that there was such a person, and then he committed the act of self-immolation and explosion.
After listening to this, Zhao Yeqing didn't say anything for a long time, but just hugged Mu Xi's arms even tighter.
Mu Xi gently stroked the back of her head with his big hand: "Are you scared?"
She shook her head and couldn't help sniffing. She arched her body and put her whole body into his arms, saying in a muffled voice, "Fortunately, you're okay."
Zhao Yeqing had a small frame, and Mu Xi had a strong physique, so she could curl up completely in his arms.
Mu Xi felt satisfied as he hugged her. He had been feeling uneasy these past few days outside and only now did he feel relaxed. Fortunately, when he went to see the captain of the team for the last time, he did not ask him to stay, otherwise he would have to refuse again to save face.
He thought of the first night before he came back, when a group of single men were chatting in the dormitory. After everyone knew that Mu Xi had a partner at home, they teased him:
"Brother Mu doesn't want to come to the city because he can't wait to return to the land of peace and tranquility."
He didn't refute it at the time, and what the person said was not wrong.
With his body relaxed, he hugged Zhao Yeqing and slept soundly.
The plane to pick them up arrived early the next morning. Zhao Yeqing was reluctant to see the old lady off, so he prepared a large box of delicious food for them to take back.
I told the old lady that I would come back to live here again after a while, and then I waved goodbye.
There were only two of them left at home. During the day, Mu Xi couldn't tell anything was wrong, so he washed and hung out to dry the quilt covers that the old lady and Feng Lixuan had slept on.
The farm work in the fields and vegetable gardens has also been completed.
Zhao Yeqing didn't want him to do it, and wanted him to have a good rest first. Mu Xi refused and just said vaguely: "Warm up first."
warm up?
Zhao Yeqing didn't understand much. She didn't understand during the day, but she understood at night.
After washing up and going to bed, someone who had been holding it in for who knows how long finally got the chance to be the only two people at home.
In fact, Zhao Yeqing had wondered during the day whether warming up might have this meaning, but after thinking about it, he immediately rejected it.
She had already taught Mu Xi how to calculate the days of each month. These past few days were dangerous, so there shouldn't be any such activity arranged.
But Mu Xi's teasing hand did not stop. Zhao Yeqing still retained the last bit of rationality and pushed him away, his voice already too soft: "Not today..."
"Can."
The man got out of bed, grabbed a tissue from the bedside and wiped his fingers, then took out a box of something in silver packaging from the compartment of the backpack he brought back.
Zhao Yeqing's eyes widened: "Could this be..."
Many things don't need to be said, actions can prove it.
With only a little bit of rational thinking left, Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but sigh:
There are still many things that haven't been put on the production line, but they still have time to produce this thing.
The next morning, when Mu Xi woke up and felt refreshed, he heard her sigh again and said as a matter of course: "This is not surprising. To some extent, this thing can help the city save a lot of food and medical resources for a long time after the ground fissure."
This box of little things was given to him by a married friend in the dormitory. He was only willing to give him one box, and there were only ten in a box. He said that these things were also distributed according to the monthly quota by the higher-ups.
It doesn’t mean that you have to be married to receive it, but each person can receive a certain amount every month with their ID card, and it’s free.
Zhao Yeqing thinks this policy is good, at least it ensures hygiene and safety.
"Then let's bring some back next time we go."
This item can be received by both men and women, as long as they are over 18 years old.
Mu Xi thought of something and hummed absentmindedly. Zhao Yeqing was steaming glutinous rice and didn't notice anything was wrong.
She planned to steam glutinous rice to make rice cakes, and then bring some to the Feng family next time she went to the city. The elderly love to eat glutinous food, which is soft and easy to chew.
Mu Xi asked her when she planned to go to the city. Zhao Yeqing hadn't made up her mind yet. "We can't always go to the city. We have been going to the city a lot recently, and we haven't been able to take good care of the vegetable and grain fields at home."
She is also counting on this batch of cotton to weave cloth.
Speaking of cotton weaving, Zhao Yeqing thought of the half of the wool that had not been taken to the city to sell. This time with the wool combing machine, he could comb the wool into clumps and spin them into yarn, which could be used to make fabrics.
Winter nowadays is not as cold as before. Young people can survive the winter without any pain, but I am afraid that the elderly may not be able to bear it.
After the wool yarn is woven, it can be used to knit a woolen hat for the old lady.
During this period, the two of them made rice cakes, twisted wool yarn and fed silkworms at home.
This batch of silkworms have started to spin cocoons again. The number this time is slightly less than last time. Many silkworms died along the way, probably because the eggs had been refrigerated for a period of time.
While waiting for the season to end, Zhao Yeqing got the wool yarn out.
The process was much simpler than she had imagined. She put the wool in clumps on the carding machine, let the roller with needles comb the wool into pieces, and then tear it into strands manually.
Rub a strand of wool thread with your hands to make a pointed tip, and aim the tip at the hole of the spinning wheel. After passing through the round hole, the strand of wool becomes wool thread.
She just didn't know if it would prick people. She remembered that the wool sweaters she bought in the store would feel prickly and itchy when worn against the skin.
It should be better to make a hat, that is, the part that touches the forehead, I guess I need to sew a small piece of cloth inside to block it.
After deciding what to do, I have to wait until the next time I see the old lady to measure her head circumference before I can take any action.
A month has passed since I finished doing these things.
Before Feng Lixuan arrived, Zhao Yeqing thought that if the rice cakes were left out for too long, the rice fragrance would be lost, so he decided to go into the city first.
Every time I go into the city I take a helicopter. Although it is convenient, it always feels a bit solemn.
Her thoughts were still somewhat stuck in the past. When she went out, she either drove, took a taxi, or took the subway. And most importantly, this helicopter was really fuel-consuming.
After entering the city, the two found that the city seemed unusually busy for some reason.
