After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 42: I know how to milk a cow!

As expected, Zhou Zhengan had a great appetite, and all the egg pancakes except for the two pieces eaten by Xia Zhi went into his stomach.

Zhou Zhengan originally wanted to leave half of it for Xia Zhi, but Xia Zhi said that he only had such a big appetite.

Zhou Zhengan swept the remaining things into his stomach. Sometimes Xia Zheng even wondered if Zhou Zhengan's stomach was his stomach?

But when he saw Zhou Zhengan's arms exerting force, the bulging tendons had to admit that this man had a really good figure. Just looking at the muscles all over his body, he knew that he did a lot of strength exercises on weekdays.

 No wonder I eat a lot.

Zhou Zhengan is not as old as most men. After finishing his meal, the man diligently washed all the dishes and put them away.

"This is not a heated kang, but I noticed that the kang is covered with leather mattresses. You can sit there for a while while I guard the door, so that I can be on guard in case there is any movement."

Zhou Zhengan was worried that there were only four of them. If their people found out that they had not returned, they would probably come looking for them.

　　It’s really easy to get into trouble if you’re not sure.

　　Xia Zhi didn’t refuse either. The two of us couldn’t waste our time here.

 Xia Zhi went to bed.

 The large wooden bed is very sturdy and can sleep three or four people without any problem.

As expected, the bed was covered with a thick leather mattress, and the sheepskin mattress was also covered with very clean floral sheets.

 It represents how gentle and virtuous the original hostess was.

 Xia Zhi lay down, covered with a leather jacket.

 I fell asleep immediately when I lay down.

 Haven’t even dreamed.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at Xia Zhi and found that Xia Zhi's little face had been buried in the fur coat. The fur had blocked her white and tender face. She could not be seen at this moment, so she was buried.

 Looking at Xia Zhi sleeping so deeply, the corner of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

 This girl has such a big heart.

 After all, they are a man and a woman alone, and they are not afraid of doing something on their own.

 But he felt a little happy in his heart, and he still felt very satisfied with Xia Zhi's trust in him.

 Leaning against the door, he sat in front of the earthen stove, adding two sticks of firewood to the stove from time to time.

Zhou Zhengan’s eyes fell outside the door and he listened intently outside.

At dawn, their comrades had not returned yet.

 Xia Zhi yawned and got out of his fur coat.

His messy hair was like a chicken coop. After stretching, he suddenly realized that he was in a strange place, but sleeping in this place was much better than a den on the ground.

Although the ground nest is covered with straw and covered with mats, there is still some moisture coming up from under the mats.

 This large wooden bed is breathable and strong.

The most important thing is that sleeping on this leather mattress isolates the cold air below and makes you very warm. The whole person was surrounded by warmth, and it was a very comfortable sleep.

As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhou Zhengan leaning against the door, his whole body leaning on the door panel, his eyes closed, and his head moving little by little.

 Like a chicken eating rice.

 Get up and get out of bed at the summer solstice.

Just such a movement immediately woke up Zhou Zhengan at the door, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly flashed with sharp light.

 When I saw it was the summer solstice, the sharp light instantly softened.

"you're awake?"

Zhou Zhengan stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff back. From the window, he could see that it was already bright outside.

Xia Zhi came over and added firewood to the stove and said,

"You go to the kang and sleep for a while. When it gets dark, I'll keep watch here. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Originally, I wanted to take turns with Zhou Zhengan during the summer solstice, but who knew that I would sleep so comfortably that I would sleep until dawn.

"It still doesn't work. I just leaned against the door and squinted for a while, and now I'm awake."

 “I’ll go outside and take a look to see what’s going on.”

 Zhou Zhengan estimated that their people should be coming soon. Xia Zhi nodded and added wood to the fire.

 I tidied up the house again.

 After a while, Zhou Zhengan walked in, his face filled with joy.

 “What did you find?”

“Hey, Xiao Lu and his wife are so capable. I didn’t expect that they not only raised chickens but also a cow.

 The cows and chickens were howling with hunger. "

When Xia Zhi heard this, his eyes sparkled in the early morning sunlight, and his black eyes became even deeper.

 There are actually cows.

 Where there are cows, there is milk.

 The summer solstice immediately brings energy.

 “Where is the captain? I’ll go take a look.”

 I feel a little greedy when I think of milk. If there are chickens behind, there may be eggs too.

 Milk is rich in nutrients, and it’s hard to find it these days.

Who would have thought that these two couples would actually raise a cow.

 Zhou Zhengan pointed to the back.

 “You don’t need me to take you, you can go see it yourself.”

 Looking at Xia Zhi flying out like a cheerful bird, the smile on Zhou Zhengan's face became even brighter.

This girl has a very cheerful personality, and she knows everyone well.

 After a while, Xia Zhi came back again.

Go to the house and take off a pot hanging on the wall.

 He took an apron and tied it around him.

 Zhou Zhengan followed her suspiciously,

 “What are you going to do?”

The two people lowered their heads and entered a barn at the back. The barn and the cabin seemed to be built together, so from the outside no one would notice that animals were kept here.

 Walked inside and got used to the dim light in the bone warehouse. Then I saw Xia Zhi digging out some feed from nowhere and feeding the cow.

Xia Zhi discovered two bags under the bed yesterday, which contained some rice bran and mixed feed. I was still wondering what the purpose of keeping these feeds was because the couple didn't raise any animals.

At this moment, she finally realized that she had just used this feed to feed the cows.

Not only did he feed the cows, but he also sprinkled feed for the seven or eight hens in the chicken pen at the back.

 Zhou Zhengan suddenly felt that he was being ignored.

The summer solstice seems to belong here naturally, and it fits so well with this place.

Wearing an apron and arranging her hair, Xia Zhi seemed like a gentle and virtuous wife. I don’t know why, but Xia Zhi seemed a little confused.

 Xia Zhi was so contented that he did not invite Zhou Zhengan. He bent down and took out a milk bucket from somewhere and placed it under the cow's body.

 Zhou Zhengan came over and asked,

 “Can you milk a cow?”

　　Not everyone, even the people on the ranch here, can do the job of milking cows.

 “Just wait and see if I can.”

With the movement of Xia Zhi's hand, the milk flowed smoothly into the bucket. Xia Zhi turned around and looked at Zhou Zhengan's shining black eyes, with a proud smile on his lips.

“Xia Zhi, what do you do at home? Why do you know everything?”

Zhou Zhengan finally asked his question and leaned on the wooden pile. He was very strange.
