Chapter 22 This Heart Is Uneasy

We have quilts and clothes, we have food, we have pots and pans, and we have folding small dining tables.

They had to walk a long way to transport these things back, but even though everyone was exhausted, the three of them still insisted on having a good meal.

Stewed roe deer meat, fried shredded potatoes, pancakes and rice porridge in a large iron pot.

Luo Xingyu has now transformed into a great foodie, but this sumptuous dinner was not her request.

Both Gao Yuan and Xiang Weiguo have the same yearning for a hearty and normal dinner.

In this doomsday season, there is no hope for the future, but since we are alive, life must continue and be as beautiful as possible. Therefore, it is important for everyone to add some sense of ritual and some extremely pleasant enjoyment to life.

"Uncle Xiang, have a drink!"

Gao Yuan took out his wine, a bottle of white wine that cost about 100 yuan. He couldn't find any wine in the store, so this was one of the two bottles of white wine Gao Yuan had reserved.

Xiang Weiguo shook his head and said: "If you don't want to drink it, keep it. Maybe it will be of great use in the future."

Gao Yuan said sincerely: "It's useless. I keep it to exchange things with others. The more the apocalypse, the more popular things like tobacco and alcohol become. But now we have no need to exchange with others, so drink it."

Celebrate it, celebrate it well."

Seeing Xiang Weiguo's move, Gao Yuan unscrewed the bottle cap, took Xiang Weiguo's lunch box and poured half of the bottle down.

He breathed out to Wei Guo, then nodded and said, "Pour some on yourself."

Luo Xingyu held the chopsticks and was already in a hurry. At this time, she whispered: "How about you give me some, just pour a little."

Gao Yuan poured Luo Xingyu about one or two glasses of wine without hesitation, then he directly picked up the bottle and said, "Drink!"

Luo Xingyu drank the liquor in one gulp, which made her cough. Gao Yuan took a sip, and the long-lost spicy taste made him extremely passionate.

But Xiang Weiguo drank half a kilogram of wine in one gulp.

After gulping down half a kilogram of wine, Xiang Weiguo took the chopsticks and said loudly: "Eat!"

"Uncle Xiang, you are too fierce..."

Xiang Weiguo took a mouthful of shredded potatoes and said, "I drink so much that I will feel dizzy after one sip. Drink slowly."

Luo Xingyu happily took a bite of potato shreds, picked up the pancake with his left hand, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's so delicious."

Without saying a word, Gao Yuan poured wine for Xiang Weiguo. Xiang Weiguo took away the lunch box and said, "The rest is yours. I won't drink. Don't do this."

Without saying a word, Gao Yuan stood up and took out the second bottle of wine from his bag. When he hurriedly stopped Wei Guo, he smiled and said: "This bottle is yours too. If you can't finish the rest, just drink it."

Stop it, Uncle Xiang, don’t even think about it, there are many villages around here, we can only bring what is most in short supply today, if we sweep through the houses one by one tomorrow, will we still be short of wine?"

Xiang Weiguo thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay! Let's have a good drink tonight!"

The roe deer meat is indeed good, with soy sauce, vinegar and various ingredients, but the most popular ones are shredded potatoes, white flour pancakes and rice porridge.

A large pot of shredded potatoes fried with twenty potatoes quickly ran out of food, but all three of them still wanted to eat.

Xiang Weiguo stood up and said: "In ten minutes, I will fry another pot."

When Luo Xingyu was full, she blushed and said to Gao Yuan, "Brother, I still want to drink. You can share some more with me."

Gao Yuan poured another one or two for Luo Xingyu. Luo Xingyu raised the kettle and said to Gao Yuan: "I want to tell you..."

Gao Yuan held the wine bottle, and Luo Xingyu held the lunch box. After the two looked at each other for a while, Luo Xingyu finally said: "I don't know what to say, and I can't say what I thought of, so just do it!"

Luo Xingyu raised his head and drank the wine in one sip. Gao Yuan took a sip, and then he said with a wry smile: "I can't do it."

Luo Xingyu shook her head, then she looked at the things on the table and said with a sad face: "I still want to eat, but I just can't..."

"Stop eating. If you keep eating like this, you will gain weight."

Luo Xingyu pursed his lips, and Gao Yuan immediately said helplessly: "Don't cry. When you are so happy, you must not cry."

Luo Xingyu sniffed and said, "I'm happy, I'm so happy. I won't cry. Brother, I want to take a shower!"

Gao Yuan hesitated, Luo Xingyu pursed his lips and said, "I sleep on the same bed with you every day, don't you mind the smell?"

"It's on a kang, well, it's too cold..."

Luo Xingyu shook his head and said: "I just want to take a bath. Now that I have a big pot, I can boil water. I also brought back clothes so that I can wear them after taking a bath. And you promised me that you would find a way."

Let me take a shower, I'm not afraid of the cold anyway."

At this moment, Xiang Weiguo came in again carrying shredded potatoes. He smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Xiao Yu must take a bath."

"Then wash it. Now you can wash it under these conditions."

Xiang Weiguo gave the final word, and then he continued to smile and said: "Come on, keep drinking. After drinking, I will go to bed. I can't hear what you are doing."

Gao Yuan blushed and said: "Uncle Xiang, you are... wrong. How could you talk like this?"

Xiang Weiguo laughed and said: "I don't know anything and I haven't seen anything. Come and have a drink. I'll go to bed after I drink. You just treat me as if I don't exist."

Luo Xingyu's face turned red, but she didn't say anything.

After finishing the wine and eating the shredded potatoes, he stood up to Weiguo and said, "I'm done drinking and eating. I'm going to bed..."

"Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang..."

Ignoring Gao Yuan's shouting, Xiang Weiguo left calmly. After Xiang Weiguo left, Luo Xingyu looked at Gao Yuan with a red face and said, "What are you doing?"

"If you want Uncle Xiang to help, forget it. I'll do it myself. It won't be too troublesome."

Gao Yuan did not clear the table. He stood up, put on the coat he had just found in the village today, and said, "I'll go prepare it for you. You can prepare the clothes you want to change and just wash them later."

"good."

Gao Yuan went outside, boiled water in a pot, then took a roll of plastic sheeting and came to a shed that had been set up long ago.

Seal the opening of the shed that can only accommodate one person with plastic sheeting, light the stove in the shed, and place stones piece by piece on top of the special stove.

After preparing all this, Gao Yuan hung his coat outside the shed, and then used an aluminum basin to bring the hot water from the pot into the shed.

After looking at it, Gao Yuan felt that he was ready and decided to try it himself first.

The shed was built with branches and mud and was very tight. Only one door was left, which was now sealed with plastic sheeting.

Luo Xingyu never knew that this was a surprise prepared by Gao Yuan for her. She thought Gao Yuan was planning to build a toilet.

Hanging the headlamp outside the bathroom, Gao Yuan began to water the hot stones. As the water vapor rose and filled the entire sealed shed, a Finnish bathroom was officially put into use.

Under the influence of high-temperature steam, Gao Yuan was sweating profusely. While he was fully enjoying the fruits of his labor, Luo Xingyu's voice sounded outside.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Don't come in!"

Luo Xingyu had already lifted the plastic sheet and came in.

Along with a gust of cold wind, Gao Yuan and Luo Xingyu froze together, and then Gao Yuan said urgently: "Get out, it's cold!"

Luo Xingyu went out, and after a moment she whispered: "What are you doing?"

"Finnish bath, please wait a moment, I'll take a shower first, and it will be warmer in here after I finish."

"oh……"

"You go in first, and you go back to the house first."

"oh……"

There was no sound outside, but Gao Yuan still felt strange.

I can't explain how awkward it is.

After a while, Luo Xingyu whispered from outside: "The clean clothes are here for you. You can change your underwear later."

It seems normal, but it also seems abnormal.

After taking a bath, Gao Yuan felt refreshed and put on clean clothes. He felt even more comfortable. However, Gao Yuan felt like a fire had been lit in his heart and could not be extinguished no matter what.

After lighting up the fire, preparing hot water, and rearranging the Finnish bathroom, Gao Yuan returned to the house and said to Luo Xingyu: "Go and wash, just don't wash for too long. Just call me if you need anything."

You take it, and the headlamp is left there for you, don’t forget it when you come back.”

"OK, all right."

Luo Xingyu was blushing when he left, and he didn't know whether it was from shyness or the effect of alcohol.

Gao Yuan lay on the kang, covered with the quilt he had just brought back today. After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh, turned off the flashlight and closed his eyes.

After a long time, when Gao Yuan was about to fall asleep, Luo Xingyu finally came back.

Gao Yuan woke up, but decided to pretend to be asleep.

But not long after, listening to Luo Xingyu's voice, Gao Yuan suddenly said out of nowhere: "Xiaoyu, otherwise I will clean up a house for you tomorrow."

"What?"

"You can live by yourself. There's no need to be crowded now, right?"

Luo Xingyu was silent for a moment, and then she whispered: "No!"

"Well, let's go. It's inconvenient to keep doing this."

"I said no! I'm scared to be alone!"

After saying something in a bad tone, Luo Xingyu said in a sullen voice: "I won't leave, I'm going to sleep."

"Well, go to sleep."

Gao Yuan was still hesitating, when Luo Xingyu suddenly said: "Brother, you are a good person, but also an idiot! Big idiot!"

"Um."

"Stop talking. I'm sleepy. Go to sleep."

Luo Xingyu didn't make any sound this time. After a while, Gao Yuan whispered: "Xiao Yu..."
