Wake up suddenly, back to the time when my wife and daughter had an accident

"I'll throw all the things in the bag directly onto the bungalow. They'll definitely be all sunburned to death in one noon."

Under the scorching sun, the cement surface on the bungalow was scorching hot at noon, and the small earthworms could be sunburned to death in one noon.

"You can try it. I remember my mother told me before that earthworms have very strong vitality."

Meng Haisheng threw the fertilizer bag containing earthworms onto the bungalow, and hung two bamboo cages under the eaves.

The earthworms squeezed in the bamboo cages looked quite scary.

Meng Haisheng was afraid of scaring Momo, so he hung them a little further away so that Momo wouldn't notice them.

After lunch, people came to deliver Bupleurum chinense during the lunch break. Meng Haisheng was busy for a while, and when no one came, he urged Lin Mucheng to go and rest.

With people coming and going to deliver Bupleurum chinense, Lin Mucheng couldn't sleep on the kang at all.

Their house was really too small. People standing in the yard could see everything in the main house at a glance.

After collecting Bupleurum, their family will collect Earthworms, so there must be someone at home every day.

Lin Mucheng is pregnant and keeps greeting the villagers, which must be very tiring.

Besides, the kang in their house is hard. In the past, Lin Mucheng was young and didn't feel uncomfortable sleeping on the kang.

But in recent days, Meng Haisheng noticed that Lin Mucheng always tossed and turned during her nap.

He thought that the kang was too hard, and Lin Mucheng was uncomfortable sleeping, so she kept tossing and turning.

Meng Haisheng couldn't bear to let Lin Mucheng suffer.

He thought about whether he could clean up the west room and let Lin Mucheng sleep in the west room at noon in the future.

Even if someone came to the house, once the door of the west room was closed and the curtains were drawn, no one would see Lin Mucheng sleeping in the room.

Meng Haisheng was not a procrastinator. While Lin Mucheng was sleeping, he started to clean up the west room.

The west room had never been occupied. There was a wooden bed and a pile of sundries in it.

It was called a bed, but it was actually a simple bed made of wood nailed together, with a few wooden boards and four legs, placed in the room to store things.

Their family was very poor before, and there was almost no valuable furniture.

Meng Haisheng moved all the sundries in the west room to the yard, and half of the things could be thrown away directly.

A wooden basin with a missing corner, clothes cut into strips, a bamboo basket without a bottom, and a paper box that was moldy and color could not be seen.

It was unknown how many years these things had been there, and Meng Haisheng threw them all into the garbage without even thinking about it.

One afternoon, Meng Haisheng cleaned the west room inside and out, and even swept the dust off the wall bit by bit with a rag.

When Lin Mucheng woke up, Meng Haisheng was holding an unused bed sheet and spreading it on the wooden bed to gesture.

He was going to wrap the wooden bed slightly with a bed sheet, put a thick winter quilt on it, and then put an old coarse cloth bed sheet on it, and then Lin Mucheng could sleep on it.

Looking at the empty west room, Lin Mucheng was dumbfounded.

"Where are the things in Haisheng's west room?"

"All of them are gone. I think those things have not been used for many years. Keeping them will just take up space."

"Then you are finished. Mom will definitely scold you when she comes to see you in the afternoon and you throw away all her treasures."

"Did Mom put that at our house?"

"Yes, there are only a few beds at Mom's house, just enough for people to sleep on, where can I put things for sundries."

"I was wondering why my wife, who loves cleanliness, would leave so many old things at home."

Meng Haisheng picked up the hammer and nailed the bed sheet to the wooden bed neatly.

The wooden bed, which originally looked very rough, immediately went from being worth one dollar to 10 dollars after being covered with a bed sheet.

Then he brought the 10-jin thick quilt that had been drying outside for a whole afternoon into the house and spread it on the bed.

"Mucheng, you will sleep in the west room during the day from now on, so no one will disturb you."

Meng Haisheng patted the soft bed and motioned Lin Mucheng to sit over.

"Haisheng, you use the winter quilt as a mattress? What do we use in winter?"

"We'll buy a new one for winter."

Meng Haisheng personally pulled Lin Mucheng over to sit down.

The 10-jin thick quilt was very soft and comfortable to sit on.

"There is a kang in the east room, and you can't spread a mattress when you sleep at noon. I'm afraid you will be uncomfortable sleeping on such a hard kang when you are pregnant."

"With this bed, you won't feel so uncomfortable during your lunch break in the future."

Lin Mucheng wanted to refuse, but she sat on the bed and swallowed the words back.

Meng Haisheng was right. She had a sore waist recently and didn't rest well. Such a soft bed was naturally more comfortable than a hard kang.

"Let me clean up, you go check if the earthworms have died from the sun."

Faced with Meng Haisheng's obvious favor, Lin Mucheng blushed and quickly changed the subject."Well, it'll probably take about half an afternoon."

Meng Haisheng first took a look at the earthworms hanging under the eaves. Most of the earthworms in the bamboo cages were killed by the sun, and only a few of them were still crawling around.

As for the ones in the bags on the bungalow, most of them were alive.

Meng Haisheng couldn't believe his eyes. The cement floor of the bungalow was so hot from the sun, but the earthworms were still alive.

He sighed in his heart, no wonder they can be used as medicinal materials, their vitality is unparalleled.

Meng Haisheng had a headache because of the earthworms.

It was much more troublesome to clean up than Bupleurum.

In order to dry them as soon as possible, Meng Haisheng rode his bicycle to the local grocery store in the town in the afternoon.

He bought some dense chicken nets and made them into a net bag.

Put the earthworms in the net bag and threw them on the bungalow to dry.

The next morning, Meng Haisheng got up to check, and the earthworms were finally all dead.

"Haisheng, what do you think of my bamboo baskets?"

Meng Daniu came to him with two bamboo baskets that were at least three times bigger than Meng Haisheng's.

Meng Daniu asked Uncle Meng to weave the big bamboo baskets yesterday afternoon.

He and Meng Hailian helped Uncle Meng, and the three of them worked relatively fast.

"Brother Daniu, you weave such big bamboo baskets. When you go to the reservoir to wash them later, don't call me. Wash them together."

"Are you still a man? You are afraid of this little work."

"You don't know whether I am a man, but I bet you will have sore arms in the afternoon."

Meng Daniu was very unconvinced. He had nothing else, but he was very strong.

How could a few earthworms tire him out?

With yesterday's experience, the three of them tried their best to catch earthworms today.

The two bamboo baskets newly woven by Meng Daniu were full. Meng Haisheng weighed them and found that they were 60 or 70 kilograms.

It would be exhausting to wash such heavy bamboo baskets in water.

Meng Daniu carried two bamboo baskets to the reservoir.

"Haisheng, I'll show you my skills later."

Meng Daniu asked Meng Hailian to carry bamboo baskets with him to the reservoir to wash earthworms.

When such heavy bamboo baskets met water, their weight increased immediately.

After washing only one bamboo basket, they were so tired that they sat on the ground.

"Daniu, I can't do it anymore. Let me take a breath."

Meng Hailian sat on the weeds on the shore, without any strength left.
