Chapter 97: Building a Log House for the Whole Family
Pursing her lips, He Qianqian whispered in Ye Qianmu's ear: "I wasn't praising you just now, I was just teasing you.
But I can see Qian Mu's daily contribution to this family."
"Are you praising me now?"
"Yes."
"Then will you... accompany me tonight?" Ye Qianmu's bright black eyes flashed with a different look.
"Yes." He Qianqian nodded heavily: "I will accompany you and the snake cubs to hatch. We will watch them hatch and be born with our own eyes."
Ye Qianmu lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and gave her a knowing smile.
He took out a towel and a basin and washed the sticky watermelon juice off her face and hands, and then the two of them went into the hatching cave hand in hand.
He Qianqian placed the snake eggs on the incubation bed, stroked the eggshells, and interacted closely with the snake cubs inside.
Ye Qianmu half-transformed into a human body with a snake tail, which coiled in a circle around the incubation bed.
Seeing that she was a little drowsy, he said:
"Qianqian, take a nap."
"Ah."
It was the hottest time of the day, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She lay down leisurely with the big snake as her pillow to rest.
The whole person was as lazy as a cat. His slender thumb and index finger were pinching the snake's scales, and his toes were also not honest, pinching the scales of the other big snake.
Before falling asleep, she did not forget to continue praising: "With Qian Mu here, even the most annoying mosquitoes won't come, it's great."
The big snake couldn't help laughing: "Qianqian is good in every way, and she has the sweetest mouth."
He was flattered by her all day long and became completely confused.
The little female's subtle movements of teasing her scales made him itchy, from the point to the surface, his whole body became hotter and hotter, and his breathing became tight and loose with her movements.
The female successfully lulled herself to sleep.
And in Ye Qianmu's dark eyes, there was a small flame burning, and he was anxious.
I couldn't wait until the evening and was about to eat her up.
After watching for an unknown amount of time, he had no choice but to resign himself to holding her legs in his arms.
Carefully feel the taipan snake pattern on her ankle.
The tip of its tail didn't forget to fan her with cool air.
Jianze and Qingyu ate as much watermelon as they could and were very satisfied.
We went to the small river behind the cave to take a bath together, and the heat accumulated during the flight was completely dissipated.
Looking up and seeing the pile of wood, Qingyu suggested:
"Qianqian is so fertile, there may not be enough space for the cubs to live in after a while, so why not build a few more wooden houses now."
When Jianze first heard this proposal, he would definitely refuse it.
The most beautiful wooden house must be the one in Jianze. He doesn’t want a more beautiful one.
But I soon realized that it would be nice to build a row or one large wooden house for the whole family to live in.
"Okay, let's build a wooden house." Jianze agreed, and then said, "You really don't want to go back."
Qingyu quickly shook his head and said firmly: "Wherever she is, I will go there."
Jianze pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
The two walked into the cave, and Qingyu followed Lingye and Li Yan to remove the cotton seeds from a pile of cotton.
Jianze walked into the hatching cave, checked the snake eggs, looked at the sleeping face of the female, and couldn't help pinching her cheeks.
She slept like an angel. I don't know how the person next to her feels.
There was only one female, which was not enough to share, and he, Jianze, could only line up at the end.
"How long will it take for the snake eggs to hatch?"
Ye Qianmu replied: "It's been hot lately, so they should hatch soon. But it can't get any hotter, or we have to move to a cooler place."
Jianze said: "We have plenty of ice to cool down, so we can definitely control the temperature.
My fire ability is the most accurate in controlling temperature. I can help you control the temperature."
Ye Qianmu agreed: "Okay, let's watch over it together every night, and it will hatch faster."
The purpose of watching the snake eggs hatch naturally is to control the temperature, not too hot or too cold.
Jianze walked to the cool bed again to check on the cubs.
A group of kittens were scattered on the huge bed made of bamboo strips.
When it's cold, they sleep huddled together.
When the weather gets hot, they all lie on their backs, sleeping with their legs spread out, and no one wants to be next to anyone else.
Only the black and white panda cub insisted on sleeping next to his brothers and sisters, because he was too young and only by sleeping next to them could he feel safe enough.
An An pushed and wiggled, whining and trying to squeeze into the man's arms. When he woke up from the heat, she crawled aside and stayed away from him.
An An was disliked by his brothers and sisters.
Jianze smiled, and simply held An An in his arms and slept with her.
He lay on the big stone bed, hugging An An and taking a rest.
Qingyu said: "Li Yan, when do we start weaving?"
Li Yan: "During the hot and dry seasons, the most important thing is to take care of the crops and dig canals. In fact, if you have more time, you can figure out how to weave cloth and make sweaters. In the cold season, there is nothing else to do, so you can spend plenty of time weaving cloth and making clothes."
Qingyu: "How about building a few more wooden houses?"
"Li Yan and I have the same idea. We think the same way." Ling Ye replied without hesitation.
Living in a wooden house is cleaner, tidier, easier to clean and brighter than living in a cave.
As for thermal insulation, the cave should be warm.
However, Cuiluan Mountain does not freeze in the cold season, so it is not cold living in the wooden house.
Moreover, when building a wooden house, dried moss is filled in the gaps between the wood to achieve the purpose of sealing and heat insulation.
They have also built wooden houses for Granny Tao and He Sen. The males have accumulated rich experience in building wooden houses and tree houses.
The males hit it off and discussed daily division of labor and collaboration.
~
Wait for He Qianqian to wake up from her sleep.
The males were seen shirtless and wearing straw hats, sorting wood.
“Are you going to build a log cabin?”
Li Yan replied: "Yes, Qianqian doesn't want a big house so we can all live in it?"
He Qianqian's eyes lit up: "Of course I do. I'll go draw the cabin right now."
"Okay." Li Yan and others looked at her cheerful back with a doting look on their faces.
He Qianqian hummed a little tune while lying on the table to choose the style of the wooden house.
There is enough space, wood and manpower here.
She was extremely greedy and chose a two-story villa with 8 bedrooms in a log cabin style.
Covering an area of more than 200 square meters.
When the kids grow up a little, we can continue to expand next to the wooden house.
She drew an overall picture of the wooden building and then a detailed drawing of the foundation.
Show it to Jianze.
"Look, if you're going to build one, build one that's big enough for living. This style has eight rooms, so it's definitely big enough for living."
Jianze took a few glances, his eyes lit up, and he said sourly:
"This cabin is more beautiful than mine, and it's much taller and has a wider view. You can see the entire farmland and the entire lake."
"No matter how beautiful it is, it's not the first one. Jianze, this is the first wooden house, and we definitely don't have enough experience, so it's hard to make it the most beautiful.
But the first one is the first one, and it is different in everyone’s mind.
You are also unique in my heart."
Jianze nodded heavily, feeling relieved: "Well, then let's build the most beautiful big wooden house for our whole family to live in."
He Qianqian stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and encouraged him: "You are the father of the cubs, so you must work hard."
"Of course, it will be built as soon as possible." Jianze was full of energy.
Just then, a tall figure appeared in the distance.
He looked towards the cave and soon found a familiar figure.
A hint of excitement flashed across Ming Gong Yao's silver-gray eyes.
After not seeing her for a few days, I don't know why, but I miss her so much. It's not until I see her in person that I can feel at ease.
She has a petite figure, but a big belly.
"Is she pregnant again? The little female is indeed fertile. I wonder how the search for Ahri is going?"
He muttered to himself, was stunned for a while, and then began to skillfully carry water to irrigate the cornfield.
