Crazy couple in the 1970s

Chapter 61 Zhou Sinian, who didn't want to take medicine, ended a busy day

After dinner, Huang Saozi picked up everyone's bowls and carried them to the river to wash them. Although most of them were licked clean, Mingdai still insisted on washing them once, and scalding them with hot water every other day.

After Huang Saozi left, Mingdai took a shovel and asked Zhou Sinian to dig a pit next to the stove, scoop out the charcoal from the firewood at the bottom of the pot, put it in the pit, sprinkle a layer of soil on it, and it can be reused.

After finishing, she said hello to the accountant Liu who was watching the house, and took Zhou Sinian to the nearby mountain.

When passing by the construction site, I saw the people from Shangwan Village had arrived. They had missed the meal time and had to work on an empty stomach. They were all listless.

On the contrary, the people in Liujiawan were well fed and worked with great enthusiasm, which was much better than the situation in the morning. The construction leader praised them again and again.

Mingdai was calculating the kerosene in the can. She had to make plans early, otherwise there would not be enough to eat.

This time, we went up the mountain mainly to collect firewood. Although we could wait for the villagers to come over after work, we knew from their state that they would not do this mandatory task well.

Mingdai wanted to burn more charcoal to keep warm, but she would rather do it herself.

Zhou Sinian was already very skilled at chopping wood. Without Mingdai's instructions, he automatically started looking for dead trees and dismembered them in no time.

Mingdai didn't compete with him, but wandered around to see if she could find some food.

After looking around, there was nothing.

That's right, they were the last group of villagers to come to work, and even if there was food, it had been plucked out by the villagers in front.

In the end, Mingdai only saw some wild garlic, but she didn't give up. She pried the ground with a hatchet and collected all the small garlic heads underneath, digging up most of the basket.

Checking the time, she went to find Zhou Sinian, who was already sitting on a pile of wood to rest.

Mingdai sat over and, using the cover of the wood pile, smuggled a big chicken leg out of the space for him.

"Eat it, but don't tell anyone, okay?"

Zhou Sinian nodded with a smile, and asked Mingdai for water to wash his hands first, then took the chicken leg and ate it happily.

Mingdai gave him a cup of hot water to get rid of the taste in his mouth, and then took the firewood back.

It was definitely impossible to move all of it in one go, but she was not worried about throwing it away. After all, it was a madman's stuff, and only a brainless person would dare to steal it.

Sister Huang had already returned, taking Liu Guoqiang to pick out the stones in the food.

She was shocked to see the two people carrying so much firewood back, and wanted to follow to help, but was persuaded by Mingdai to continue working.

In the end, it took seven or eight trips to move all the firewood back.

After a break, Mingdai took out the medicine jar and boiled the medicine on the small stove under Zhou Sinian's extremely reluctant eyes.

The smell of medicine came out, and Huang Saozi poked her head in to see: "Who is sick?"

Mingdai pointed at Zhou Sinian who was unhappy and took out his anger on the wild garlic sprouts without saying anything.
