Chapter 42: Even Knowing How to Milk a Cow!

Zhou Zhengan did as he asked, with a huge appetite. All the egg pancakes except the two pieces Xia Zhi ate 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 Zhi even doubted that Zhou Zhengan's stomach was his stomach?

But when he saw Zhou Zhengan's arms exerting force and the bulging tendons, he 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 he eats a lot.

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

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

What Zhou Zhengan is worried about is whether there are only four of those four old men. If their people find out that they haven't gone back, they may come looking for them.

It’s hard to say that things could easily go wrong.

Xia Zhi didn't refuse either. The two of them couldn't waste their 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 indicates 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.

Not even a dream.

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.

Seeing Xia Zhi sleeping so deeply, the corner of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

This girl has such a big heart.

After all, they were alone and 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.

He leaned against the door and sat in front of the earthen stove, adding two pieces of firewood to the stove from time to time.

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

At daybreak, their comrades had not returned yet.

Xia Zhi yawned and got out of her leather jacket.

The 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 nest on the ground.

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

And this wooden big bed is breathable and strong.

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

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Zhengan leaning against the door, his whole body leaning against the door panel, his eyes closed, and his head moving little by little.

Like a chicken eating rice.

Xia Zhi got up and got out of bed.

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 moved around. His back was a little stiff. 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 and sleep on the kang for a while. It's dawn, and I'll keep watch here. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Originally, I wanted to alternate 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 would be coming soon.

Xia Zhi nodded and added wood to the fire.

Cleaned 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 brought energy.

"Where is the captain? I'm going to take a look."

I'm really greedy when I think about milk. If there are chickens in the back, there may be eggs too.

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

Who would have thought that this couple would actually raise a cow.

Zhou Zhengan pointed behind him.

"I don't need to take you, you can go see it yourself."

Seeing 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 knows everyone well.

After a while, Xia Zhi ran back again.

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

He took an apron and tied it on his body.

Zhou Zhengan followed her suspiciously,

"What are you doing?"

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

After walking in and adapting to the dim light in the bone warehouse, I saw Xia Zhi actually took out some feed from somewhere and was feeding the cow.

Xia Zhi found two bags under the bed yesterday, which contained some rice bran and mixed feed. She was still wondering what the couple kept these feeds for since they didn't raise any animals.

Now she finally realized that she was using these feeds to feed the cows.

Not only did she feed the cows, she also sprinkled feed on the seven or eight hens in the chicken coop behind.

Zhou Zhengan suddenly felt that he was being ignored.

Xia Zhi seemed to belong here by nature, and she was so compatible with this place.

Xia Zhi, wearing an apron and tidying up her hair, seemed like a gentle and virtuous wife. I don't know why, but I was a little confused by such Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was so contented that she bent down and put a milk bucket that she didn't know where to get from under the cow's body without inviting Zhou Zhengan.

Zhou Zhengan came over and asked,

"Can you milk cows?"

Even the people on the ranch here, not everyone can milk cows.

"Just wait and see if I can do it."

As Xia Zhi moved his hands, the milk flowed smoothly into the bucket. Xia Zhi looked back at Zhou Zhengan's black eyes sparkling, with a smug smile on his lips.

"Xia Zhi, what does your family do? How come you can do everything?"

Zhou Zhengan finally asked his question, leaning on the wooden stake, he was very curious.
