Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 102

In order to make her younger siblings appreciate her in her heart, Xu Xiaomi said a lot of high-sounding words, and then took her younger siblings by the hand and went into the house!

In the spacious living room of the new house, grandfather Zhou Xuewu was still under the dim oil lamp, nailing the last piece of wood on the waterwheel with a hammer.

Qiu Qiming stood by and carefully observed the shape of the waterwheel.

His father, Xu Erqiang, was squatting on the ground to help his grandfather touch the wooden board that had not been fixed yet.

When they saw the three sisters coming in, Xu Xiaomi forgot to put the pannier outside.

Qiu Qiming asked with a smile: "Girl, why don't you put the basket outside? Is there anything delicious inside?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi let go of her younger brother and sister's hands, and replied with a smile: "Oh! That's right! There's nothing to eat, I forgot!"

After speaking, he turned around and backed out, and conveniently put the basket in a dewy place so that the saplings would not suffocate to death.

When she went in again, her father and grandpa carried the completed water wheel and walked outside.

She hurriedly found an unused oil lamp, followed her father and the others out, and said as she walked, "Grandpa! Let's put this in the old house!

Now that the east courtyard built first in the new house is ready for people to live in, uncles and cousins ​​should move there first!There are three rooms to live in, and it will be much easier for the seven of them to live in it!

This waterwheel needs to be anti-corrosion again! "

Zhou Xuewu and his son-in-law carried what he considered to be a huge waterwheel. They originally wanted to put it in the yard, but they heard their granddaughter say that they would put it in the old house where they sleep now.

So, I walked into the old house in the dim light, put the wooden shelves and stood up.

Turning around and sitting on the long bench, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the most thoughtful granddaughter and asked, "Girl, what did you just say about embalming? What is embalming?"

Xu Xiaomi put the oil lamp on the table and asked, "Grandpa, what method did you use to prevent moths or wood from rotting?"

Zhou Xuewu thought for a while and said: "Oh! Grandpa didn't know about this before.

Later, my grandfather picked a fruit from a certain tree, cut it in half, and a little transparent liquid oozes out from the fruit.

At that time, my grandfather was making a small bench.I saw so many sticky things on my hands, so I wiped all the liquid on the small bench in front of me.

However, I saw that when the liquid was completely dried, the top of the small bench was like a glazed jar, with a smooth surface and no worms.

After that, when I saw this kind of tree, I dug up the young saplings and planted them in front of and behind the house. Now, near my home in Guilin Village, this kind of tree is all planted.

Every year, in autumn, when the tree is full of such fruit, I put it in the cellar to keep it fresh.

When I make large wooden furniture, I take out some fruits and cut them up for use! "

Hearing what his grandfather said, Xu Xiaomi thought to himself: What kind of fruit could he be talking about?

In the 21st century, there are only two kinds of wood anti-corrosion and insect-proof materials without chemical ingredients; one is tung oil, and the second is lacquer; and these two things come from trees.

However, the second type is taken directly from the tree, and only the first type is extracted from the fruit.So, what grandpa was talking about was Tong Zhu!
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi smiled happily and said, "Grandpa, how many fruits like this are there?

The anti-corrosion project of this waterwheel must be done well, we don't have the kind of fruit you mentioned here.Shall we let uncle and the others go back tomorrow and transport some with wooden oxen?

We can't cut one and wipe another!That's not only slow, but also wasteful!
We need to bring some more and extract it, so that it will be convenient to use in the future! "

Grandpa stared at her wide-eyed and asked, "Girl, do you have a better way?"

Xu Xiaomi said seriously: "Grandpa, I know there is a way to extract this oil! I just don't know if it works?"

When Zhou Xuewu heard this, he looked at this granddaughter with bright eyes, whose thoughts and age did not match.

He smiled excitedly and said, "Girl, tell me!"

In fact, over the years, every time Zhou Xuewu used the dried fruit and it was difficult to wipe it off, he thought: If only there was a way to keep it fresh!

Today, he heard his granddaughter say that there is a way to purify this oil, and his heart is full of infinite expectations.

Seeing the sparks in Grandpa's eyes, Xu Xiaomi knew how much Grandpa was looking forward to this moment.

Xu Xiaomi nodded and said, "Grandpa, this is more laborious to make, but the oil can be refined very cleanly.

I will think about it tonight and finish the drawing. Tomorrow, I will ask you and your uncles to work harder. Those utensils are also made of wood.

In the end, it may be necessary to ask uncle to make a groove with iron, which will be useful at that time. "

Zhou Xuewu smiled happily and wanted to ask: "Really? Is this true? That's great! This is what I want to do most! Girl, you have to figure it out quickly! Grandpa is waiting you!"

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking enthusiastically when they heard Xu Xiaomi's grandmother say in the kitchen: "It's time to eat! Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have hid here, and there are still guests outside!"

Xu Xiaomi looked at her grandfather and father with a smile and said loudly, "Grandma, we are here to bring the water truck. Grandpa and my father will go there right away." After speaking, she stuck out her tongue at her grandfather and father outside, and then went into the kitchen to help went!

Xu Xiaomi helped put the food on the table.Then, let the younger brothers and sisters call the uncles and cousins ​​who were still working in other rooms out for dinner. Tonight is the last meal at Xu Xiaomi's house.

There are three big tables in the living room, and Qiu Qiming and Zhou Xuewu are still sitting at the main seats.Grandma sat next to grandpa, except mother and father who sat at a table next to the old man.

The uncles and aunts just sat at one table, and the other young people sat at random!

Qiu Yongzheng originally sat next to the eldest cousin, but when he saw that the second cousin was not here, he moved to sit next to Xu Xiaomi!

Xu Xiaomi didn't care either, she was thinking in her heart: how to make the cumbersome and heavy tung oil extraction equipment she saw on the Internet simpler.

What about Qiu Yongzheng?When eating, he helped her pick up vegetables, and helped Xu Xiaomi add rice.

Let a table of cousins, cousins, surprise!
But, everyone looked at Xu Xiaomi's appearance of enjoying it for granted. Everyone could only bury their heads in their own food, and no one dared to speak out!

Everyone quickly finished their meal, lifted their buttocks and left!In the end, only Xu Xiaomi and Qiu Yongzheng who waited patiently were left sitting at the table.

Xu Xiaomi had already eaten, but she was just thinking about something and forgot that she was still sitting at the dinner table.

When Xu Xiaomi had figured out how to draw a picture, she raised her head and found that, except for Qiu Yongzheng who was picking up oil lamps with bamboo sticks, everyone else had left!
She cleared her throat with some embarrassment and asked, "Mmmmmm! Brother Qiu! You...you, why don't you go to sleep?"

Seeing her sudden question, Qiu Yongzheng hesitated for a moment before answering softly: "Well... I see that you are too absorbed in thinking about things, everyone has left, and you are here alone with no one to take care of you, so... So, I just..."

Xu Xiaomi blushed when he heard this, and said in his heart: Xu Xiaomi!Xu Xiaomi, you are so heartless!People are here to accompany you all the time, and you still... oh!Really!

Qiu Yongzheng saw that he had said so many words, but Xu Xiaomi didn't respond at all, so he could only look at her with those phoenix eyes aggrieved.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaomi also looked at him guiltily. When his eyes met, Xu Xiaomi quickly looked away.

Muster up the courage to say softly: "Thank you, Brother Qiu! Now, I'm going to bed, you should wash up and go to bed too!"

After Xu Xiaomi finished speaking, she hurriedly got up and walked back to her sleeping place, as if fleeing.

When Xu Xiaomi sat by the bed, she remembered that she hadn't washed yet.Now, she doesn't really want to face Qiu Yongzheng's always affectionate eyes.

well!In my own heart, I still can't do it. I don't know how much time I have to face each other in the future?

Hearing what she said, Qing Wu quickly flew down to admit her mistake, only to hear it chirp and say: "Master, I'm sorry! I thought it was rude to you, I was angry for a while, and I couldn't hold it back..."

Hearing what it said, Xu Xiaomi looked at it speechlessly, feeling a little relieved in her heart.However, when he thought about it later, Qiu Yongzheng might still have a letter to send back.

Feeling very sad, he said, "You got into trouble and pecked the pigeon to death! From now on, you will have to do the job of the pigeon!"

Qing Wu looked at Xu Xiaomi listlessly after hearing this, and asked softly: "Master! Then every time I complete the task, can I stay with you for a while?"

After hearing its request, Xu Xiaomi didn't think it was too much.Just nodded, as a promise.

Qiu Yongzheng still looked at the pigeons on the ground ignorantly, and thought: How can I send the letter back now?Both of them are birds, so let Xiaomi sister pay?
well!If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't give it food, let it fly away and it would be fine!
Qiu Yongzheng thought so in his heart.Xu Xiaomi could hear what was in his heart clearly.She glared at Qing Wu fiercely again with her beautiful eyes, when Qing Wu saw it, she lowered her head in aggrieved manner, not daring to look any more.

Xu Xiaomi said to Qiu Yongzheng: "Brother Qiu, don't worry! Do you still have a letter to send back? I will let Qingwu follow you in the future. Go and write back!"

Hearing what she said, Qiu Yongzheng looked at her in disbelief, Xu Xiaomi smiled and urged: "Why are you looking at me like this? Go and write a reply!"

Qiu Yongzheng thought for a while, this reply letter was very important, so he didn't say any more, turned around and went back to the room where he lived, hurriedly wrote the reply letter and walked out.

"Woo... woo... Master! Don't you want me? Woo... woo... How can you let me follow him? I don't want, I don't want, at worst, I will help him if he has something to do, and I will stay with you if he is fine. How are you around? Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Qiu Yongzheng saw the mynah Qingwu resting on Xu Xiaomi's shoulder, squawking.
