Chapter 193 192. The tree that purifies water

This topic is really heartbreaking.

After the two chatted for a while, they switched decisively. Huaiyu watched Zhou Qian fetch a bucket of water from the well, then soaked all the pots and pans in the pot and put in a bucket of water -

That’s all.

She hesitated for a moment: "Don't you want to wash it?"

Zhou Qian paused and said, "Wash it before dinner tonight."

He rubbed his hands together, looking very eager to work: "Let's go and help you with your work first."

Huaiyu looked at him and found that Zhou Qian was different from what he had imagined: "Do you not like washing dishes or do you not know how to wash dishes?"

Zhou Qian didn't even raise his head: "How could I not know how to wash? Our defense army has very high requirements for housekeeping."

"Oh." Huaiyu understood: "You don't like washing dishes."

She understood this quite well: "I don't like washing dishes either."

"But you should still wash it. This iron pot of yours hasn't been well maintained, and it will easily rust if it's soaked in water. Now that it's clean, there's still some residual heat in the stove, which can evaporate the moisture quickly."

"You can buy a piece of pig skin to feed it later."

"When you are well-fed, you can cook. The wok will be well-heated and the food will be delicious!"

When it comes to combat capability, Zhou Qian is ten blocks ahead of Huai Yu.

But when it comes to cooking——

He turned around and stood in front of the stove obediently, then looked at the mess in the pot, stretched out his hand and then retracted it: "Let me get some detergent or something from you to wash it."

What laundry detergent to use!

Huai Yu was so disappointed that he pointed at the stove and said, "Isn't there any ash here? Let's use it!"

But how could the defending army not know this?

Huaiyu looked at him suspiciously, then turned around and went to the back of the house to pull some grass and made a simple straw bundle for him: "Wash it. The pot really needs to be taken care of."

After that, she looked at Zhou Qian warily again: "Don't count on me. I hate washing dishes too, and the rice crust is stuck to the pot - wash the outer pot first. After washing it, the rice crust in the inner pot will be softened, so you can wash it next."

Facts have proved that Zhou Qian just doesn't like to wash, not that he doesn't know how to wash.

After taking the simply tied bundle of straw from Huaiyu, he scooped out a basin of ash with familiarity and used the bundle of straw to scrub the pots, pans, and utensils.

But the movements are indeed a bit unfamiliar.

Seeing this, Huaiyu couldn't help but be curious: "Didn't you have to do these things when you were in the defense army before?"

Zhou Qian immediately became proud: "I am the most capable fighter in our team."

"All they need to do is place a bet once a month, and if they lose, they'll work."

"If I lose, I spend points on buying things for them, and if they lose, they do these chores."

The two sides interacted with each other and never got tired of it.

It was difficult for Huaiyu to comment on this behavior, but now Zhou Qian lived alone, she could only sigh and said regretfully: "That's terrible, no one will bet with you in the future, you will have to wash the pot three times a day."

If you want to have a midnight snack, you have to do it four times.

Zhou Qian: ...too careless.

…

After finally finishing the annoying housework, Huaiyu rummaged out two large baskets from Zhou Qian's room, pushed his bicycle and walked slowly towards his home with him.

By the way, I am also making plans in an orderly manner:

"Help me move the jar later and chop some firewood. I'll go to the vegetable garden and pick some more vegetables for you... Zhou Qian, you have such a big appetite!"

At noon, he ate two bowls of rice by himself - those two bowls of steamed rice could feed Huaiyu for two days!

There was also a huge pot of bullfrog, pheasant meat and stewed vegetables, which he also swept up in no time.

Thinking of this, Huaiyu suddenly felt lucky again: "Fortunately, I have supernatural powers, otherwise how many vegetables would I have to grow to feed you?"

By the way, he instructed him: "When you are done, ask Kuang Biao for some bamboos and build me some vegetable drying racks. I will dry more cowpeas so that you will not be left without vegetables when the weather gets cold."

"By the way, can you weave bamboo curtains? The kind you can use to hang vegetables?"

In a few words, the afternoon's work was fully arranged, and Zhou Qian looked at her suspiciously: "If I don't become your neighbor, who are you going to ask to do these jobs?"

Who should I ask for help? Huaiyu was sad when she talked about this: "When I was growing vegetables, I wanted to hire someone to till the soil, but they said that as long as it wasn't a rose corridor, it would be fine. I couldn't hire anyone at all."

“I worked hard on it myself.”

She looked up at Zhou Qian, who was tall and looked safe, and said pitifully, "Brother Zhou Qian, if you hadn't come, I would have to do all this by myself. It's so tiring!"

Zhou Qian: "...Although you sound so pitiful, it's a pity that I don't know how to weave a bamboo curtain."

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

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I didn't learn everything in the Defense Force."

Huaiyu exclaimed, "So you don't know how to do that!"

"But Lin Xuefeng can! He even made me a straw curtain as a door, and it was so neatly woven!"

Having said that, he glanced at him again - the straw curtain was also cut into two pieces.

Zhou Qian felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, he felt very guilty, but on the other hand, he couldn't help thinking:

How come General Lin knows everything? He even has so many tricks to coax little girls! He is a war hero, where did he learn to weave straw curtains? ...

Their homes were in District 37 and District 39 respectively, not too far apart. However, the vast plain was undulating and had occasional hills, so it took more than ten minutes to push the bikes.

This time, Zhou Qian was less wary of the Rose Corridor, but he looked at the giant cowpea python looming in the vegetable garden, and then at the green bamboo forest behind the house...

I don't know why, but I always feel like there's danger everywhere!

Huaiyu put the bicycle away and pointed out where to put the cylinders:

"I have cleaned this jar. You can move it to the side of the washbasin rack in the house. You also need to make a lid out of bamboo. Brother Zhou Qian, do you know how to do this?"

Zhou Qian wanted to say no, but when the words came to his lips, he racked his brains to recall the bamboo pot lid, and finally replied with difficulty: "I will try my best."

"Here's a big jar. Do you see the big barnyard grass tree by the pond? It has a few leaves dripping with water. Just pick up a leaf and put the jar down."

"Barnyard grass?"

Zhou Qian stared at the unfamiliar plant name and followed Huai Yu to the edge of the pond. He was then shocked by two strange trees of different sizes standing on the left and right of the edge.

"Where did this mutant plant come from?"

"No, no!" Huaiyu explained quickly: "These are the barnyard grass seeds I bought. When I planted them, the two abilities were over-active. Now the direction of mutation is weird..."

"But even though they have bad personalities and are mischievous, they are still good trees."

"Although this short one is still useless, it is much more obedient than the one next to it that purifies water."

"Oh." Zhou Qian said numbly: "So this barnyard grass tree mutated in the direction of purifying water, right?"

Update 1, here it comes.
