Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Bamboo paper is used for writing. When making it, the bamboo pulp needs to be extra fine, and the thicker fibers will be removed. It is best to soak it for a longer time, so that the bamboo pulp can be diluted more delicately.

Handling bamboo materials is laborious. You have to use a knife to scrape off the outer skin bit by bit. Wearing gloves is not easy to operate, but if you don't wear them, you will easily get pricked by bamboo thorns. Your work efficiency will slow down, and your hands will get pricked by thorns. It takes time to pick them out.

Zhao Yeqing decisively chose to take his time. It was time-consuming anyway, and he wore gloves to avoid getting pricked.

It takes more time for Mu Xi to get the paper mulberry tree. He has to get the small roots of the paper mulberry back first, and then peel the bark after returning home. The peeled bark has to be dried in the sun before he can start.

A gust of wind blew slowly over, causing the white clouds in the sky to move slowly. Zhao Yeqing's rolled-up hair scattered a few strands on both sides of his face. The wind blew it in front of his eyes, blocking his sight. He couldn't move his hands away, so he could only raise his head and shake it. Shake your hair to the side.

There are still individually cut bamboo leaves lying on the ground in the yard, and the wind blows them and makes a drowsy swishing sound.

The bamboo leaves can be made into grass powder after drying, which can be mixed with feed to feed livestock.

The repetitive work made her drowsy, and a few chicken crows from time to time could wake her up.

Zhao Yeqing shook his head vigorously——

No, it will be too easy to cut your hands if you continue to work in this state.

Putting down the tools and bamboo poles in his hands, he stood up and dusted off the bamboo shavings from his body. After walking around in the backyard, he fetched water from the well and washed his face.

In the current climate in the mountains, the water temperature is almost always cold. The moment it hits your face, your body trembles in physiological reaction, and you wake up a little instantly.

The sound of a three-wheeler came from outside. As soon as Zhao Yeqing wiped his face dry, the back door of the yard was pushed open, and Mu Xi walked in carrying two large bundles of tree branches.

The branches of paper mulberry are somewhat green. The fresh branches are thrown directly to the ground and make a crisp sound when they hit the concrete floor.

A little green tree

When I looked up and saw her wiping her face, I knew she was sleepy.

The weather is warm now, neither too cold nor too hot, which is perfect for a nap. The quilt is slightly chilly while lying on the bed, and my whole body is curled up on the bed, listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the chirping of birds outside the window. After a good sleep, my bones will surely be broken. Crispy.

"Go and take a nap if you feel sleepy."

Zhao Yeqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Are you sleepy too?"

Mu Xi threw the two bundles of branches directly on the ground and admitted with a mixture of laughter and tears, "The tree was cut in half just now. The sun shines on my face and the leaves in the forest rustle. I can hardly open my eyes."

The woods are cooler than outside, making people want to doze even more.

The two looked at each other, cleaned themselves up, changed their clothes, and went upstairs to take a nap.

I also barked a dog to guard the front yard in case any high-flying chicken jumped over the fence and ate the grain seeds.

The days are still long, now I don’t have to worry about food and drink, the climate is comfortable, and I don’t have to be in a hurry to work. I sleep when I feel sleepy and eat when I am hungry. This is a leisurely life.

It was already the end of the new year when the bark of bamboo and paper mulberry trees was processed.

We also stopped for two days to sow grain seeds into the ground. The planting time with a seeder was shortened a lot, which meant that more time was spent on plowing the ground and weeding in the early stage.

The soil is very fertile, and it is so dark that it is already shiny. Once you dig it, you will find a long earthworm.
