Chapter 146 Take the initiative
The girl named Shanshan was quite pretty except for her dark face, with round almond eyes, a small nose, and a pair of cute dimples on her face when she smiled.
He has a carefree personality, no wonder he can get along well with Zhou Mingqi.
Knowing that her family had a little donkey, Wang Xiaodan brought her cousin to take a look. There are many families in the countryside who own cows, but not many who own donkeys.
It happened that they had eaten some watermelon rinds, so they threw them into the donkey's trough and watched it eat.
"Mingqi, you have a rabbit at home, it's so cute!" Xu Lingshan saw that there was not only a donkey in the backyard, but also chickens and ducks. She walked to the end of the straw shed and actually found a rabbit.
What girl doesn’t like a rabbit? It’s so soft and cute, with a piece of grass in its mouth.
So a few girls squatted in front of the rabbit cage and watched the rabbits eat grass.
But Zhou Mingyuan next to him said, "Sister Shanshan, I caught this rabbit. Do you think I'm awesome?"
"Hahaha, you caught it? That's amazing. I thought it was your two brothers who caught it."
Xu Lingshan looked towards Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie. She didn't expect that this was caught by an eight-year-old child.
"That's right. I fell pretty hard trying to catch this rabbit..."
Zhou Mingyuan described what happened at that time vividly, causing Xu Lingshan and Wang Xiaodan to laugh.
Zhou Mingshu was really enlightened when he saw his younger brother. He didn't expect that he was such a chatterbox. It was ok for him to just hang out with his friends in the village, but he could chat so happily with a girl he didn't know very well and who was much older than him? !
Maybe this is the legendary 'e-man'.
Wang Xiaodan and Xu Lingshan stayed until it was getting dark before going back. After seeing the guests off, they started to fetch water for a bath.
It had been hot for the past few days and Zhou Mingshu couldn't stand it anymore. He took off his hair and had to wash it before going to bed.
There was no hair dryer at that time, so she could only add more water to her hair and then wipe it with a dry towel for a while.
After everything was packed up, I took a small stool and sat down. I let my hair down and combed it back and forth with a towel. This way it will dry faster.
The night enveloped Lianglin Village completely, and the stars in the sky provided some light to the earth, so that it was not so dark that one could stretch one's hand in front of one's face.
Zhou Mingshu lit the oil lamp, locked the door, and went back to bed to read comics.
But the backyard of Old Zhou's house was not very peaceful.
"Brother, didn't you say Xu Lingshan was pretty last year? Why didn't you talk to her when she came to play today?"
Zhou Mingzhi and Zhou Mingjie hadn't gone to sleep yet and were lying together chatting.
"What are you talking about? We used to be little and could play together, but now we're all grown up. Men and women shouldn't be too close to each other. It's not good to be too close."
Zhou Mingzhi rested his head on his elbows, still thinking about what happened in the afternoon.
"What do you mean by 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'? That's just an excuse people use when they're not in a good relationship. If you like someone, you have to take the initiative. Why bother about the gender separation? If you like someone, you have to take the initiative. You have to learn from Sandan in this regard. You can make people laugh with just a few words. If I were a girl, I would also like to be with Sandan."
Zhou Mingjie said with a smile.
"What are you saying, you little bastard? I'll beat you up if you say another word." Zhou Mingzhi stretched out his legs and kicked his brother.
"Brother, I have to remind you that Dashan's wheat will be harvested in one day, and his cousin can only stay for two days at most. If you are too embarrassed to say a word to him, how can he know your feelings?"
After saying this, Zhou Mingjie stopped talking because he was afraid that he would get beaten if he said too much.
"Okay, let's go to bed."
Zhou Mingzhi turned over, with the little girl’s smile in his heart.
I feel like what Xiaojie said makes sense. So if I get the chance, I'll try talking to her?
Since the house had this hole-shaped window, the two brothers moved their bed under the window so that they can enjoy the cool breeze and enjoy the night view.
Zhou Mingzhi, who couldn't sleep, kept counting the stars in the sky, one, two, three... Such a beautiful girl, he really wanted to pick a star and give it to her.
Zhou Mingzhi, a simple-minded man, suffered from insomnia, which was a rare occurrence.
Zhou Mingshu was awakened by the sound of stone chiseling. She packed up the things in the room, opened the door and went out.
She walked across the wheat in the yard and went to the well to wash.
"Uncle, hasn't this stone been chiseled through yet?" Zhou Mingshu yawned.
"It's already been drilled through. I think the edge is still a bit prickly. I'm afraid the hemp rope can't withstand the wear and tear. I want to grind this hole to make it smoother."
What Boss Zhou said made sense. Zhou Mingshu leaned over and saw that a small hole had been made.
It was really tiring for my uncle to dig such a small hole back and forth for most of the day. If it were in modern times, a drill would be able to do it in less than two minutes.
It’s no wonder that there are so many benefits of industrialization.
In addition to this hole that needed to be ground, Boss Zhou also repaired other places.
After breakfast, a fairly smooth stone slice was ready.
Zhou Laoer tied the stone pieces together with a hemp rope and tied it to the donkey. Then he pulled it slowly over the wheat, pulling the stone pieces behind it.
The effect is pretty good. At least the bottom of the stone slab does not scratch the ground, so it is quite stable.
Wait until the sun rises to dry the wheat in the sun, then lead the donkey to thresh it.
Except for Zhou Mingshu, everyone, young and old, male or female, was busy washing their hair. Their scalps were extremely itchy after covering their hair for these days.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Zhou Mingshu took his small basin and prepared to go to the river to wash clothes.
"Grandma, I'm going to wash clothes. I'll pick up some snails to eat later."
"Okay, then pick up more. You haven't eaten for several days."
"Okay~"
Zhou Mingshu trotted to the riverside. There were not many people there. She put a two-pound small crucian carp in the fish basket.
In addition to the small crucian carp that she had cheated with, there seemed to be two or three eels in the fish basket. She didn't look carefully and submerged the fish basket back into the river.
It is still a bit unrealistic to cram these things in by yourself. Sooner or later, you will forget them, and there is also the risk of being exposed.
There were few fish in the river, so she put more fish fry in.
In the future, not only my family can eat it, but the villagers in Lianglin Village can also eat it if they catch it. It will be good to improve everyone's food.
She put her fingers into the river, and soon all kinds of fish fry flowed out from between her fingers and swam into the river.
What's the point of eating fish alone? Sometimes it's nice to have some shrimps to change the taste.
Zhou Mingshu scattered some more shrimp fry. These river shrimps grow fast and can be eaten no matter how big they are. He eats the small ones if he catches them, and eats the big ones if he catches them.
With so many fish and shrimp fry, we can eat whatever we want in the future.
After washing and hanging the clothes to dry, Zhou Mingshu received a task assignment from Old Mrs. Zhou.
