Chapter 189 188. Hard Work

Perhaps it was because he rarely expressed his true feelings like this, Zhou Qian felt a little embarrassed after saying those words. He stood up straight and stared at the flower basket in Huai Yu's arms: "A gift for me—"

The smiling words came to an abrupt end.

Because the pink and white branches and the glossy green leaves piled up like snow in the small bamboo basket, they are so lush, beautiful and fresh that it is hard to ignore them.

"Is this...the flower from the Rose Corridor?"

Somehow, Zhou Qian remembered the branch of flowers that was cut off by the ice blade in Huaiyu Tree House. Even though he knew many secrets of Huaiyu at this moment, he still couldn't help but feel his heartbeat quicken and his whole body tense.

To be honest, he doesn't deserve such a big bouquet of flowers!

But he thought it was unimportant, but Huaiyu really liked decorating the house, and at this moment, he enthusiastically handed over the flower basket: "Does it look good?"

"I picked them specially! Some are in bloom, and some are in bud. They can be kept in a vase for a long, long time."

Zhou Qian quickly found an excuse: "Thank you, I like it very much. But you also know that I live a rough life and there are no vases at home."

"I know!" Huaiyu had already walked into the yard: "You forgot, I've been to your house, how could I not know whether there is a vase?"

"But your comrades were very thoughtful. They put three buckets of different sizes there. There was one smallest bucket, which I thought you might not need, so I used it just for flower arrangement."

In the sunlight, the emerald green well platform that looked like glass stood there, making the small courtyard look inexplicably bright.

Huaiyu stood by the well and took out the smallest bucket, and said with envy: "You have a well at home, it will be more convenient to change the water for the flowers."

As I walked, the rose branches in the basket swayed, as if they had their own vitality.

And every swing seemed to tug at Zhou Qian's heart.

He followed subconsciously, and then said, "But will it be unfair to it if we use this bucket?"

“No.”

Huaiyu took the flowers out of the basket.

She probably had planned it in advance, so this time she cut more branches than she had originally put in the vase. She didn't even need to shape them specially, and she turned the whole small bucket into a huge, fluffy and full bouquet.

Then he took a step back, looked left and right, and was obviously very satisfied with the gift he had given.

"Rose Corridor is not such a superficial person who would pick vases, and this barrel is oak-colored, which matches well."

Zhou Qian was speechless.

As a rough person, he doesn't understand the concept of oak barrels and roses. At this moment, he is just racking his brains to return the bouquet of flowers to its original owner.

At this moment, he saw a plump bamboo shoot left in the bamboo basket, and his eyes lit up: "Why don't you stop fiddling with the flowers? Have a meal first! I'll stir-fry some bamboo shoots for you at noon."

Huaiyu said "Ah", then shook his head: "No, I have already thought of a way to eat it."

She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to shake the bucket out of the well. When she grabbed the wooden handle, she suddenly saw the tall and strong Zhou Qian standing beside her, and then she realized -

yes!

Zhou Qian is so big, he should do some heavy work!

So he stepped back decisively and commanded: "Roll the bucket up."

Zhou Qian: “?”

He gripped the handle and turned it twice. The rough hemp rope swirled around the wheel, and he felt that the weight was wrong. It seemed that the bucket was not put into the water.

The next moment, Huai Yu cheered, took down the bucket, opened it, and saw a big pot of meat inside!

She proudly presented her treasure: "Bullfrog and pheasant! This is tastier than the ones in the hospital. I just happened to cut some bamboo shoots and cooked them together at noon!"

In other words—

"You don't have to waste time cooking! Brother Zhou Qian, quickly fetch some water. We have to feed Qiangwei."

"By the way, do you like flowers in the living room or in the bedroom?"

Zhou Qian: “…”

"Living room." This was his last act of stubbornness.

With the barrel, water, and such a large bouquet of flowers, Huaiyu still had some difficulty holding it. So Zhou Qian had to treat it as a formidable enemy and carefully placed it on the table in the living room.

Although I was still alert in my heart, for some reason, when the flower branches were placed on the table and trembled slightly, the neat and simple house seemed to be filled with vitality.

He couldn't help but slow down his expression.

Turning around, he saw Huaiyu looking at him expectantly: "Are you in a better mood now?"

"If you're ready, when can you help me move the tank?"

Zhou Qian laughed.

Yes, the impact this morning was so great that I forgot the most important physical work.

He then responded casually: "Okay, I'll go over after lunch. You can also think of any other heavy work you need and I'll help you do it."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He had his own comrades to help him build a house, and the defense army also provided him with all the necessities of life. Huaiyu's home was built bit by bit from a dozen pine cones she had at the beginning.

And when the tree house was destroyed, the other party cried miserably...

Thinking back on it now, Zhou Qian couldn't help blushing.

When it comes to hard work, Huaiyu has a lot!

"Can you help me till the soil? I can give you vegetable seedlings."

Her ability to stimulate growth is simply a natural advantage in planting. One potato can be planted on two mu of land. It would be a pity not to expand the scale.

in addition……

"Can you fish? There's a snakehead in the pond that's really fierce. I can't catch it."

That was a big black fish she had caught with a trap on Mount Sanqing. She had originally intended to keep it in a puddle under a barnyard tree for her own consumption, but ended up wasting time.

When I woke up again, there was no trace of the other person. I was afraid that he had already entered the pond.

Huaiyu bought some fish fry and put them in there! Now it's bad, I'm afraid they will be eaten up.

But later, when she used her purification ability to attract the big black fish, the trap she put down was torn, and the fish disappeared.

Now she can only count on Zhou Qian! Otherwise, with such a big pond, I'm afraid not a single fish would survive.

Zhou Qian couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling a little guilty.

Finding a fish in such a big pond, and a mutant black fish, let alone the bait, what kind of fishing line and fishing rod can withstand such a strange force? "Oh, right."

Huaiyu became happy again: "Fenda - Sister Chen Xing's team members once sent me a lot of sundries, half of which were heavy metals."

"Can you go see if there's anything you can use? By the way, can you help me chop some wood?"

This is Huaiyu's biggest worry now.

Because the firewood that had been dragged down from the mountain, including those that had been chopped and neatly stacked by Lin Xuefeng, had already been burned out.

Recently, she has been dragging back some dead branches from a small hill in the distance so that she can have firewood for cooking.

But because they were cut down by the defense army many years ago, the dead branches were not resistant to burning, and because they grew in a messy way, even with the help of the eldest and second cubs, they didn't know how to easily stuff them into the stove, so they had to redo the work.

now……

"We are running out of firewood."

Update one.
