The two of them were not idle under the tree, after all, deep mountain is not a city, where there are so many zombies.
The two of them were so strong that they could cut one branch with a single knife, and they quickly tidied up the long and disorderly branches, which were even faster than the others.
It was just that chopping firewood from trees was not very tiring, and everyone was busy until noon, so everyone had almost two loads of firewood.
Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan were the ones to look after the firewood.
One down.
When they reached the river, they found the tree trunks too long to fit in the boat, so they had to let some people go in Lu Jianye's boat first, and they had to cut off the tree trunks later.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services, including firewood, firewood, firewood, and firewood.
After that, everyone went out early in the morning and started to head back at around noon, then rested in the afternoon.
Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan helped everyone deal with the zombies, and they didn't refuse to give them two loads of firewood every day, although they occasionally found a dead tree and got it back, which was enough to cover everyone's harvest for several days.
This day, they arrived home a little earlier than usual, and the two of them put the firewood they brought back into the yard to pile it up, and Ye Yuan Rong had already prepared hot water for the two of them to wash their faces and hands.
The two of them went out to cut firewood, every day back home, Ye Yuan Rong will definitely prepare hot water for the two of them to use, after watching them wash, and also must let the two of them apply the hand cream prepared, said that if not to protect their hands, when winter is easy to crack, hand cream is the supermarket they received before, I do not know if it is a matter of luck, the smell is very sweet, after the two of them rubbed twice, they do not want to try again. up, unless Ye Yuanyong was watching.
What's more, I don't know if it was because they started cultivating, but in the recent months, the two of them had done a lot of work, but other than their hands being slightly calloused, there was no change in their hands compared to before, let alone the possibility of cracking, so the two of them could be very resistant to applying hand cream.
The two of them also today, dilly-dallying, waiting for Ye Yuan Rong to leave before going to wash their hands, because of the reason to work, both of their nails are very cleanly trimmed, washing is also much easier, do not have to worry about the nail seams will be dirty.
After they finished cleaning, when they saw that Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo were still waiting at the table for them to join them for lunch, Zhou Yan said, "Mom and Dad, in the future, when we don't come back at noon, you guys will eat first, so you don't have to wait for us."
Ye Yuanrong said as he laid out the dishes for the two of them, "We'll eat first, when you come back the food will be cold, you've been out all morning, you can't even come back without a hot meal, and we're not doing anything at home, and we're not hungry."
It wasn't the first time Zhou Yan had offered to let the two old men eat first, but each time they had a reason to say no.
Lu Jianguo was drinking his own small wine beside him, not participating in their conversation, and after finishing his small glass of wine, he was still not satisfied, and when he put it down, he realized that both Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan had already finished their meals.
"What are you guys doing in such a hurry?" You know that although he had been drinking, he usually didn't see Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan with this speed.
Zhou Yan swept the trash in front of himself and Lu Bachuan into the trash can and said, "When we were on the mountain earlier, we saw some unfallen chestnuts on the chestnut tree, and the senior said it hasn't rained recently, so it shouldn't be bad, so we thought we'd go over this afternoon to see if we could pick up some chestnuts."
In fact, it wasn't that they wanted to eat chestnuts so much, it was just that they had been getting together with everyone else all day and wanted to find an excuse to go out for a walk alone.
Ye Yuan Rong was also a bit tempted after hearing this and wanted to follow along, but looking at their looks, it was obvious that they weren't there to pick up chestnuts, so they impatiently said, "Then you guys hurry up and go, there are probably some good ones that fell on the ground, so pick up some more and I'll give you chicken stew."
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the shoes you've been wearing for a while.
In order to save diesel fuel, they didn't drive a big boat, but rowed a small wooden boat across the river.
The two had recently eliminated a lot of walkers from the nearby upper hills, so they quietly went ashore to the chestnut forest without encountering any walkers.
The hills on their side were full of wild cone chestnuts planted in the early years, the trees were much taller than the larger varieties of chestnut trees that came later, and the branches were much more luxuriant, so if the leaves weren't about to fall out now, they probably wouldn't even see daylight inside.
The two of them wandered around under the tree and didn't see many fallen chestnuts on the ground, and even fewer sparse ones on the tree.
And there was no guarantee that all the ones on the ground were good.
The two picked them up one by one under the tree, putting away the good ones and throwing the ones with bug eyes in a pile so as not to pick them up again next time.
The two men picked up all the ones on the ground, and then knocked down the ones still hanging on the tree, and also loaded two net pockets, which had to be 20 to 30 pounds.
Before leaving, Zhou Yan wasn't satisfied, and found another one person tall, not yet grown sapling, directly to the uproots, intended to plant in the space.
When they returned home, Ye Yuan Rong actually killed a hen and was plucking out the feathers, even Lu Bachuan looked black-eyed: "Aren't you afraid that we haven't picked up a single chestnut?"
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the product and say, "I'm going to use potatoes to stew the chicken, not that you can't eat chicken without chestnuts."
The two of them which dare to say no ah, and obediently listened to Ye Yuanrong's instructions to peel chestnuts.
Fresh chestnuts are not easy to shell at all, Zhou Yan found a basin with half a pot of chestnuts, poured half a kettle of boiling water into it from the kettle that was burning on the stove, and finally found a lid to release the chestnuts into the water for ten minutes or so before starting to shell them.
The two of them took a knife to open the hard shells on the outside, and the soft membrane inside was much more torn, but they didn't finish peeling half a pot of chestnuts until Ye Yuanrong had cleaned up the chicken as well.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years, and the company is now in the process of developing the new product.
It's just that the two of them will never want to peel them again next time, and the ones that are still left, whether it's to make fried chestnuts with sugar or just cook them and eat them, will be fine anyway as long as they're not allowed to peel them.
The moment they ate the chestnuts in the evening, they immediately thought otherwise, the cooked chestnuts were soft and glutinous, and soaked in the aroma of chicken.
The three men waited on the table for Ye Yuanrong to come back, and when the chicken stewed out, she put a small bowl out, intending to give it to Liu Yue and her son.
When Ye Yuanrong came back, Zhou Yan immediately said, "Mom, you're finally back, if you don't come back I'm going to be gluttonous."
Ye Yuanrong secretly shook her head and said, "Then hurry up and eat."
There were several other dishes on the table, but the family's favorite was this chestnut stewed chicken, Ye Yuan Rong and Lu Jianguo were afraid of accumulating food in the evening, so they didn't eat much, and the remaining two, Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan, all ate all of it and spread out on the sofa rubbing their stomachs after eating.
They also received several footbaths from the supermarket, but now they have no electricity and can't use them, so they still have to boil water.
A person placed in front of a bucket, next to a large bucket of boiling water, you can wait for the footbath in the cold water and then add.
When the feet are warm, the person will be drowsy, see Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo are a little bit of head, Zhou Yan will urge the two old people to go to sleep quickly, do not freeze cold.
The two people want to put the foot bath water to pour, but also Zhou Yan to stop, outside the wind, can not blow.
So Ye Yuanrong went to the room with Lu Jianguo in a daze, and when they reached the door, they remembered something and turned back to ask Zhou Yan: "How many chestnuts do you have left that you picked up today?"
Zhou Yan didn't know what she was going to do, but told it like it was: "At least there's still twenty or thirty pounds left!"
Ye Yuan Rong thought about it and said, "Then you can share half of it out tomorrow, I'll give it to the old people in the village, chestnuts strengthen the stomach and tonify the kidneys, it's too cold at night now, you might be able to get up a few less nights if you eat it."
In one whole sentence, Zhou Yan felt the word kidney tonic appearing in his ears amplified, and he had eaten such a big pot of it tonight.
Until he bathed and slept at night, he was a little afraid to look directly at Lu Bachuan, as if he had forgotten that he wasn't the only one who had eaten a lot at all.
