Chapter 43 Clean Up

It snowed all night, probably because of the indulgence last night, Chen Qing didn't wake up until 8 or 9 o'clock the next day, another pillow placed side by side under his head still maintained a slightly sunken shape somewhere, but The person who was sleeping on it was gone.The quilt was still full of coaxing warmth, Chen Qing simply got out of bed and took a shower, when the door opened, a snow-white world almost dazzled his eyes.

The cold air hits the face, and the wet water vapor on the face suddenly drops in temperature, and the stale air in the chest is exhausted with a long breath. Whether it is the fresh air or the scenery in the silver-clad plain, it makes people feel refreshed.Chen Qing went downstairs in good spirits. When he got out of the corridor, he saw two people busy in the yard, both wearing gloves and holding a shovel, shoveling the snow in the yard into piles. Among them, the taller one was naturally Rong Xu.He heard Chen Qing's voice coming downstairs and smiled brightly at him: "Get up, the yard will be cleaned up soon."

"Hmm..." Chen Qing couldn't help feeling ashamed when he heard the words, it was the first time he got up so late these days and didn't make breakfast.Rong Xu and Brother Chen can't cook, so they are either hungry now or the aunt has cooked.Sure enough, Chen Xiaoyu also took off his mask and said to Chen Qing: "Mom made cornbread and millet porridge, and they are still hot on the stove. Brother, go and eat them! I'll do it in the yard!"

"Should we clean up in front of the door too? I'll come to help after I finish eating." Although Chen Qing is not as tall as the two of them, he is a man after all, and he still has strength, and he is the biggest among the three, so there is no big rest. The hard truth?Chen Qing quickly settled the breakfast and found a shovel to help out. Rong Xu didn't persuade him to sit down, but just took off his gloves and put them on for Chen Qing, asking him to start carefully.Rong Xu had already shoveled the snow for a long time, and his body was already steaming. Even if he didn't necessarily feel cold except for his coat, Chen Qing didn't refuse.

The three people worked together and none of them was lazy and slippery, so the cleaning speed was naturally very fast.The snow in the yard was piled up into four small snowdrifts, exposing the ground paved with blue bricks. Several people went to the door and spent half an hour clearing the road from the door to the main road, and finally they were able to put down the shovel and rest for a while. meeting.Chen Qing's foundation was not as good as the two, and his body was not as muscular as the two. Young Master Rong and Brother Chen had a rare sympathy and entrusted Long Xue with such a relatively easy task.

The road surface is spacious and the area is not small. Rong Xu and Chen Xiaoyu are responsible for shoveling up the snow on the ground and scattering it into piles, because the snowdrifts that are piled up quickly are very loose, and Chen Qing is responsible for collecting the snow that is scattered around the snowdrift. The snow is shoveled onto the snowdrifts, and the snowdrifts are patted down.This more than one month of self-cultivation undoubtedly made Chen Qing's health much better. Although his arms were still limp and weak after putting down the shovel, his complexion was rosy and there was slight sweat on his forehead.

All three of them were sweating, but they were in a good mood.It was almost noon, and Lu Xiuyun also prepared a meal and asked a few people to go in to wash their hands and eat.Lunch is a large plate of chicken with rice, which is simple and full.The chicken of Dapanji was caught by Lu Xiuyun in the morning, killed and plucked at the chicken selling place on the street, cleaned it up, and Chen Qing helped to adjust the taste and marinated it for half a morning. After it tasted delicious, it was fried with cubed potatoes. system.The chicken is a small local chicken that has been raised at home for a year. The meat is tender and fragrant. The teeth are so good that you don’t even need to spit out the bones. It is also full of starch melted and thickened, and a layer of rice is poured on top of the rice.Everyone was very satisfied with a meal.

Because of the snow, there is thick snow on the ground and eaves. Although the places where people often walk have been cleared out of the road, most of them are still covered by snow, which is not suitable for travel.Chen Qing didn't take Rong Xu out for a stroll anymore, and in his spare time, he patched up some leaks in the Chen family's old house that had been in disrepair for a long time.After all, this house is the place where Chen Qing grew up. He has lived here for more than ten years, and every corner and brick seam has his memory.

When repairing the house, Chen Qing often told Rong Xu some things in his memory. For example, when he took care of the dilapidated yard and re-paved the green bricks, Chen Qing remembered one of his leisure activities when he was a child: holding a pair once Sexual wooden chopsticks and a transparent jar to lift bricks and twist tiles to find earthworms, catch them and put them in the jar, and pour them into the chicken coop after half a bottle is caught, and add some meat dishes to the chickens.Sometimes they catch grasshoppers and crickets. Children who grow up in the countryside are not as delicate as those in the city, and most of them are not afraid of insects.

Rong Xu also heard the law interesting. He has been in the army for more than ten years and he is naturally not afraid of bugs. Sometimes he would catch frogs and peel them and eat them without eating when performing missions. There is nothing disgusting about catching bugs with your hands or those bugs that are not lethal. The blood-sucking bugs in the Southeast Asian rainforest are called disgusting. They crawl in through the seams of your clothes and burrow into your flesh. Trouble, in comparison, earthworms, which are also molluscs but only eat loose soil, are simply cute.

There was no snow in the next two days, and the temperature even rose a lot, but the temperature rise caused the snow to melt, and the snow needs to absorb heat... The actual temperature was much lower than the weather forecast.Even if the entire spacious road in Lizhuang is connected, concrete floors are paved in front of every house, but after all, it is a rural area, and there is definitely more mud than concrete, and many places where the snow has melted are muddy, which is more muddy than just now. It's not a good time to travel.But Rong Xu and Chen Qing had to leave on the eighth day of the lunar new year, because Rong Xu resumed work in the afternoon, and Chen Qing was about to prepare for the opening of the noodle shop.

Lu Xiuyun asked Chen Xiaoyu to send the two of them to the station and get on the bus—knowing that Rong Xu was temporarily staying with Chen Qing, she brought them a big bag of vegetables, all grown in their own fields, half of which were Potatoes are sweet potatoes, and half are fresh vegetables.Although there are many greenhouses now, fresh vegetables are still in demand and expensive in winter.We eat a lot of greasy things during the Chinese New Year, so it is also very appetizing to change the taste and eat some light food at this time.

Probably because Chen Qing didn't go home for the New Year in the past, Lu Xiuyun took this opportunity to fill Chen Qing with a big bag full of vegetables,

These are the wishes of the elders, Chen Qing is naturally hard to refuse, but Rong Xu knows that Chen Qing prefers vegetarian food, so he unceremoniously helped Lu Xiuyun persuade Chen Qing to accept these pesticide-free pure green vegetables.Fortunately, Rongxu has great strength, and there are electric three-way cars outside Cuishi Station, Rongxu only needs to use his strength to carry the sack upstairs.Chen Qing watched from the side with his hands spread apart but couldn't intervene at all, and Rong Xu didn't let him intervene—a joke!How can Ah Qing be tired with him around?He is born with great strength and has practiced running with a load in the army. Even if he can resist two big living people, let alone a sack that weighs only a few kilograms?Besides, it didn't take long for Ah Qing to heal from an injury he suffered on the stairs last time, so he couldn't rest assured that he would let him intervene...

He easily carried the sack upstairs and put it upright in a corner of the room. Rong Xu helped Chen Qing clean up the room together—there was a thin layer of dust on the desks and cabinets in the house where no one lived in it for ten days. I took out a basin of water and took out two rags, one for each person, and found a starting point for cleaning: all furniture surfaces were wiped with wet rags, and the ground was cleaned and some water was sprinkled to prevent dust from flying.The quilts and clothes put in the cabinet have to be taken out to dry when they are damp... Fortunately, today is a sunny day. Although the sun in winter will never feel as hot as spring and summer, the ability of ultraviolet light to sterilize is still there , Even if there is no sun, the wind is also good.It should be covered by night...

The put away dusty bowls and chopsticks were taken out one after another and placed back in their original seats. The time was short and both of them were a little busy. They didn't touch the floor. At noon, they heated up the stewed chicken and side dishes brought by their hometown. After steaming the rice in a pressure cooker, we hurriedly settled the lunch, and Rong Xu went to the company to cancel the vacation—today is the day when the company resumes work, and the main purpose is to cancel the vacation for the employees who have returned from vacation, and then hold a mobilization meeting to encourage everyone's enthusiasm for work in the new year , and will not directly start to deal with official duties, it can be regarded as a buffer time for employees to start adjusting their mentality and getting ready to start work.

Chen Qing was not idle when Rong Xu went to the company, he had already recovered completely, and he planned to open the noodle shop in two days.So not long after Rong Xu left, he cleaned up the house, took out the key, and rode his bicycle towards the noodle restaurant.The city is full of concrete roads that are not easy to get snow. After two days, the snow has basically melted. Only the eaves and flower gardens can see the obvious white. The roads and roads that people often drive have long since melted away.

When Chen Qing arrived at the store, he found that the shops on the left and right were not open, so he didn't need to bother to explain the sudden closure some time ago.He opened the shutter door to vent the stale air in the room that hadn't been entered for a long time, and then went in to start cleaning.It has not been cleaned for more than a month, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the desks, tables and chairs. Some places are dark and even have signs of mildew. Fortunately, the temperature is extremely low in winter, so Chen Qing first uses a brush and then a wet rag After cleaning it four or five times, the water was not so turbid.

The ingredients piled up in the room that were too late to clean up had rotted and deteriorated. Chen Qing packed them in black garbage bags and threw them into the roadside trash can. It took two or three hours to finally clean up the room.Bad vegetables and meat can be thrown away directly, but the half bag of flour and half bag of rice piled up there is a bit troublesome: because they can’t be eaten directly, throw it away?It would be too wasteful to throw it away if it hasn't spoiled, but how to eat it is another problem...

Because of the cold weather, rice worms did not grow in the rice bag. Pour the rice into a breathable bamboo basket and put it in a sunny and ventilated place to dry, then you can repack it and eat it slowly. Obviously, the method cannot be directly applied to it. The damp flour can’t be stored for long... It’s better to make it into noodles and dry it, so it’s not easy to deteriorate and it’s convenient to eat at any time!Chen Qing took care and poured the flour into the cleaned stainless steel basin to start kneading the noodles. He has a small noodle making machine here.

Even so, after Chen Qing kneaded a bag and a half of flour into dough and then pressed it into noodles with a machine, his back was so sore that he couldn't straighten up, and his neck would crackle when he moved a little.At this time, the sky also turned gray, and it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.Chen Qing hastily put away the tables, chairs and rice noodles that had been put out to dry, and was about to close the door and go back to collect the clothes and quilts when he saw a long-lost figure walk in, and was momentarily stunned.
