As soon as Qu Shufen entered, she raised her hand and slapped him:

"Dirty thing, I shouted for a long time but you didn't even fart. You pretended to be deaf and mute, and purposely didn't open the door for me, did you? "

The small body of the green bamboo could not stand properly and directly fell onto the floor. Blood flowed out of the corner of its mouth.

She felt a buzzing in her ears, as if hundreds of flies were flying around her. For a moment, he couldn't hear anything clearly.

Even so, he did not forget to explain:

"Aunty, you misunderstand. How could I possibly refuse to open the door on purpose? I really didn't hear it just now. I'm sorry, I slept too deeply. Don't be angry, I won't dare to do it again. "

The woman raised her right hand and pointed at the green bamboo with her index finger painted with the inferior red nail polish.

"Work procrastinate, sleep better than pigs at night. I might as well just go to sleep, so I don't have to waste food! "

Qu Shufen was very angry when she got out of bed, let alone in the middle of the night. Just now, she was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly called out. She was in an exceptionally terrible mood.

He then came to find the green bamboo, and had a closed-door meal. His throat was about to burst, but there was no response from inside. Therefore, she rushed in, flustered and exasperated, and poured all the anger in her heart onto the green bamboo.

After a few curses from Qu Shufen, she finally felt a little better. She raised her leg and kicked the green bamboo's butt as she coldly urged:

"Don't play dead for me, get up and work."

Green Bamboo covered his face with one hand and supported himself up against the wall with the other. With blurred eyes, he repeated mechanically, "Work?"

Washing the dishes, cleaning the kitchen, chopping firewood, she had finished all her work during the day. What else did she need to do in the middle of the night?

"The little girl from the city wants to take a bath. Go boil a few pots of hot water, then, you can bring the wooden bucket that is usually used for the pillars over. If there's anything else you can ask her to do, try to make it happen. "If there's nothing important, don't bother me."

"Alright." The girl replied in a shaky voice.

Qu Shufen opened her mouth, yawned, and went back to sleep.

After her aunt left, Qingzhu's legs gave way and she fell back to the ground. She panted for a moment, then stood up again.

Pillar didn't like to take baths, so he did it once or twice a month. He said it was too much trouble. Thus, the wooden bucket was usually kept in the small warehouse in the backyard.

The green bamboo felt that half of its face was numb, and the corner of its mouth was burning with pain.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she tightly wrapped her clothes around her body. He picked up a bunch of keys and left the kitchen.

At midnight in early autumn, there was complete silence. The numerous stars were like shattered diamonds, scattering into the pitch-black and distant night sky.

The green bamboo had just come out of the blanket, so it naturally wasn't used to the outside temperature. He could only bow his back slightly and shrink his neck back into his collar as he shakily walked forward against the autumn wind.

Being hit by the wind, his thin body was quickly frozen. The bangs on his forehead were blown all over the place. Her two small lips also turned purple.

After walking to the backyard, she opened the warehouse door, walked up to the wooden bucket, and moved it a few times without moving it.

The girl held her chin and considered for a moment. Then, she decided to first put down this thing and then wheel it over.

She spat on her palms, held on to the edge of the bucket, and with all her strength, managed to knock it down.

In order not to wake the others, Green Bamboo did not dare to kick them. Instead, it half bent forward and used its small hands to push the wooden bucket towards the door of the new house.

She forced herself up, rubbed her sore waist, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Zhou Tingting crossed her legs and laid on the fire brick bed with one hand behind her head, slowly spitting out two words.

She had changed into a pink nightgown, and a peony quilt covered her legs. The quilt and pillow were all brand-new.

The fire on the kang was blazing brightly, and the room was filled with warmth.

It was her first time sleeping on the fire brick bed, so Zhou Tingting felt that it was quite fresh. Lying on the side also felt quite comfortable. Still, it couldn't compare to her air-conditioning. This thing couldn't be used to adjust the temperature, and it was a bit too harsh.

Half an hour ago, Xu Zhu had personally brought in a few thick mattresses and laid them out on top of each other. However, she still felt tough.

Zhou Tingting puffed up her cheeks and gloomily thought:

There was no other way! Who made her skin naturally tender and smooth, just like the Pea Princess in the fairy tales?

The green bamboo gently pushed the door open, and a wave of heat rushed into his face. The sudden warmth made her squint comfortably.

"Hello, I heard you want to take a bath. I'm here to bring a bath barrel."

"Oh, put it there!" Zhou Tingting glanced at the green bamboo with the corner of her eye and laid on the brick bed without moving. Her heart was filled with disdain.

Emma, blue dress and gray pants. I've never seen anything like this before. The little girl in the mountain was indeed rustic, unlike her who was noble and had a different temperament.

Green Bamboo crouched on the ground and spent a great deal of effort to raise the bucket. He then took out a wet towel and wiped it clean from inside out.

"It must have been hard for you to come here so late at night!" Zhou Tingting turned over, her words were very polite, but there was not a trace of gratitude in her tone, "Having recorded tonight's program, I'm really a bit tired!

I love to be clean. Furthermore, he had a habit since he was young: he had to take a bath twice a day. Especially before you go to bed. If you don't soak in a comfortable bath, you won't be able to fall asleep no matter what. "

"I'm fine. You take a break, I'm going to boil some hot water. "

After all, these people were guests, so Qingzhu didn't find it troublesome. As one of the hosts, even without her aunt's instructions, she would still treat the guests well.

Besides, the other side did not ask for anything excessive. It was human to ask for hot water for a bath. Since she was already used to it, she would just do her best to satisfy him.

Green Bamboo went to the backyard and grabbed a bundle of firewood. Afterwards, he returned to the kitchen and filled the huge iron pot with water.

It was only after the fire was lit that the kitchen began to feel warm. She leaned closer to the pit, and as she stretched out her hands to warm up, she thought with great relief:

Today was a lucky day. With the light of that girl, they could roast a fire. Otherwise, with the wind so stiff at night, if he were to freeze for an entire night, he would definitely catch a cold tomorrow.

When she returned to her guest's new room with a basin of hot water, she discovered that the quilt had fallen to the ground. Zhou Tingting was lying in the middle of the brick bed and had already left to chat with Mr Zhou.

The green bamboo silently walked over and picked up the blanket for her. It could not help but mutter in its heart:

What was going on? Didn't he say that he would not be able to sleep until he took a bath?

In reality, Zhou Tingting only had three scenes to follow tonight. They were all very simple.

One was for dinner; the other was to walk around and enjoy the countryside; and the third was to read in the house before going to sleep.

Usually, she did little housework at home. The summer had just ended. He had been snuggled on the sofa eating snacks and playing on his phone all day without much energy.

As a result, after strolling around a few times, he felt exhausted. He had planned to soak in a bath before going to bed after finishing his work. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he felt sleepy. After waiting for a while, he started snoring.

The green bamboo scratched its head and stood in place, hesitating for a moment.

What should he do? I don't want to call her, but the water should be cold soon. Wake up, she's fast asleep again, she can't be disturbed.

After some thought, Qing Zhu decided to ask. After all, it was extremely difficult to boil water. If the customer wanted to wash it after waking up, he would have to boil it again.

The firewood had been hacked back from the mountains by his uncle, so he couldn't waste it.

After making up her mind, she gently pushed at the person on the brick bed. The water has been boiled and can now be washed. "
