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 wondered if 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 heated kang, but I noticed that the kang is covered with leather mattresses. You can stay there for a while while I guard the door, so I can be on guard in case there is any movement."

What Zhou Zhengan was worried about was whether there were only four of those four old men. If their people found out that they had not returned, they would probably 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 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 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.

"You don't need me 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.

Walking in, I 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. She 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 behind.

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 nowhere 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 milking.

"Just wait and see if I can."

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

"Xia Zhi, what does your family do? Why do you know everything?"

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