Chapter 532 The Real Slow Life

"Lao Xu, do you want a wife?"

If it is this sentence, it will bring people a surprise.

Namu said, "Luo Xuan, look what good things I brought back for you?"

This sentence is completely frightening.

A snake!

A big python as thick as an arm and 3 meters long!

Namu, who was full of excitement, coiled the snake around her neck.

And the python's mouth spit out scarlet snake tongue, and its long snake body was still shrinking and twisting...

Namu held the seven inches of the python with one hand, and kept pulling the python's curled body away with the other hand.

Beware of pythons strangulating yourself.

It’s not surprising that many southerners know how to catch snakes.

What shocked Luo Xuan even more was the girl named Na Li who was following Na Mu.

in her hands,

Amazingly, he was carrying two voles that were still squeaking!

It’s not unusual to catch voles to eat.

During difficult times, many vole nests of many production teams in the Mainland were cleared out by everyone.

But the problem is: the two voles Nali caught in her hands didn't even have any wounds on their bodies.

That is to say,

The voles were unharmed, and Nali only had to hold them by their tails. It seemed that Nali was not worried about the voles at all, as they would turn their heads and bite her!

To know,

This field mouse in the wild carries countless germs all over its body.

The daring Nali is not afraid of being bitten by a field mouse and contracting some inexplicable strange disease?

How brave!

Namu walked up to Luo Xuan proudly, "The meal you made this morning was delicious. But I think there aren't many good things you brought, right?"

Namu took off the python wrapped around her neck.

He opened his mouth and said to Luo Quan, "You don't have to worry about dinner tonight.

Tonight, we are going to roast snakes and voles...hehe, we can also save some food for you!"

People like Namu in the village,

Their living habits are indeed different from those of Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli: as long as Namu and Nali have barbecue to eat, they don't have to eat staple food.

That's why Namu said: With a python and two fat voles, we can cook rice for them without using Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan shook his head, "You caught these, so you should take them home.

Come and help me build a house, and I will take care of your food.

This is a matter of course and there is no need for you to find food for yourself."

Namuqi said: "You are so strange! As long as you catch the prey, it doesn't matter who caught it. You can eat whatever you want. What can you do if you know so clearly?"

Luo Xuan still shook his head, "Now your family is also short of food, right? You'd better take these things home and feed them to your parents."

Namu and others don't have much concept of private property.

If today,

If he eats the wild snakes and field mice they brought, Namu and the others will naturally not be polite to him in the future.

I would often come over here to grab some food or something.

Luo Xuan did this not because he felt sorry for a little food.

Rather, he wanted to subtly and slowly instill a concept of private property into Namu and the others.

Now,

Since he asked them to help build his house, he should fully bear the cost of providing food for them.

This is equivalent to,

The relationship between the boss and the employee: You do the work for me, and I will pay you accordingly.

If Namu,

If she could understand this truth, Namu should understand: when helping Luo Xuan build a house, she must devote herself wholeheartedly.

You shouldn't be so free and loose, working one moment, digging bamboo shoots and catching snakes the next...

It's like playing house.

Of course,

Luo Xuan didn't expect that just one or two times would be able to enlighten Namu.

But as long as I persevere, I will always instill in them the concept of distinguishing public from private.

Luo Xuan believes that over time,

There will always be some subtle changes in their bodies.

This is to use quantitative changes to slowly lead to qualitative changes.

This time I built a bamboo house.

Luo Xuan's plan was to build three small rooms: one was Zhang Xiaoli's bedroom and the other was his own bedroom.

It would be fine if there is another main room in the middle.

As for the kitchen, Luo Xuan plans to build it under the eaves.

The toilet is located farther away from the bedroom.

Although the toilet is a bit far away, which is a bit inconvenient, at this time, due to limited conditions, it can only be converted into a dry toilet.

This kind of dry toilet can be used only if it is not far from the house where you live.

The weather is hot and the sun is shining... the taste is sour and refreshing.

It just doesn’t show up anymore!

I have been busy all morning and half a day.

Namu, Nali and the others only cut down 12 thick bamboos, which were somewhat similar to Nanzhu.

Just enough for 12 columns.

This generation of bamboo is very different from the bamboo varieties in the mainland.

Namu and the others chopped down these 12 bamboos to make pillars.

The hollow inside is very small.

Judging from its toughness, it is probably much harder than wood of the same thickness.

And bamboo is also very tough.

The material used to make the pillars of the house is considered to be the best.

After cutting back a batch of bamboo, Luo Xuan began to dig holes around the foundation, preparing to fix the pillars first.

And Namu and the others, who didn't know whether they were tired from working or playing, hid under the big tree one after another.

Go hide in the shade.

Namu and Nali are not particular about it. When peeing, they unbutton their skirts and straighten them in place.

Now lie down and rest.

They don't even care about whether the floor is clean, and they just fall asleep so casually!

"Luo Xuan, come here and rest for a while."

Namu waved to Luo Xuan, "Why are you working so hard? I find that you people in the mainland are always in a hurry when doing anything... Why are you in such a hurry?"

Luo Xuan replied, "Work is work. It's not too late to finish it and then take a rest."

Namu pouted, "If you can't finish it today, you'll have to do it tomorrow. If you can't finish it tomorrow, you'll have to do it the day after tomorrow. Anyway, when you open your eyes every day, there is endless work... So why are you in a hurry?"

Look up at the blazing sun in the sky,

Luo Xuan said to Zhang Xiaoli, "It's really too hot. You go and rest for a while. I'll do all the work."

Zhang Xiaoli shook her head, "If we don't build the house quickly, where will we stay at night?"

Namu giggled, "Come and live with us. Don't you know, Nali and I live everywhere every night.

If anyone has free space at home, we can throw a piece of bamboo fence on the ground, put a piece of sheet on it, and then we can sleep."

A grown-up girl goes out and lives around every night?

Namu and the others can be considered to have no fixed abode.

This does not mean that they went to other people's houses at night and did anything bad.

Rather, in the entire village, these girls are basically best friends.

Today Namu went to stay at Nali's house,

Tomorrow Nali will follow a few girls and go to stay at that flower's house... In their eyes, this is a very ordinary thing.

Faced with this situation,

Zhang Xiaoli and Luo Xuan were speechless.

The huge difference in concepts has resulted in completely different behavior styles of both parties...

The weather today is indeed very hot.

The rice in the fields is almost ripe. The upland rice on the mountains is almost ready to be harvested.

But often at this time, the mountain people in the village are most short of food.

Namu finally caught a big python, but instead of taking it back to share with her family, she took it out so easily and let a group of girls roast it and eat it under the tree.

It is conceivable that

How weak must their sense of family be?

The ten girls were peeling and marinating meat under the tree, while Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli were working non-stop under the scorching sun.

Lao Min wiped the sweat from his forehead,

He said to Luo Xuan, "When we are going to make the fence later, it would be best for you to demonstrate the specifications and dimensions yourself.

Otherwise, if your bedroom wall is 3 meters apart, do you believe these girls can make a 2-meter or 3.5-meter fence for you?"

Lao Min smiled bitterly and said, "They have no idea about weights and measures such as units of length.

You have to figure out the length, and then arrange for them to do it according to this standard.

Otherwise, something will go wrong later."

Zhang Xiaoli asked, "Aren't there public primary schools in other villages? Haven't they ever gone to school?"

Lao Min shook his head, "Don't ask! If you ask, it means they have gone to school. But after a month, the total time they go to school is more than 3 days and 5 days, which is not bad."

Zhang Xiaoli was puzzled, "Knowledge can change destiny, why don't they like to go to school?"

Lao Min sighed, "They can't learn. It's very difficult for them to understand many modern concepts.

In addition, the school is far away and people are too playful... The weather is too hot to go, and the rain is too heavy to go.”

Old Min smiled and said, "If it's cloudy, it won't be sunny. How many days can we have lukewarm weather all year round?"

Seeing Luo Xuan, he looked directly at himself.

Lao Min waved his hand, "Don't say that I didn't contribute, I tried to improve their cultural quality.

In fact, I have made a blackboard and two desks here, trying to teach them some basic Chinese characters and pinyin."

Lao Min explained, "There are also the simplest mathematical calculations. In order to encourage them to learn, I even took out the only more than 10 yuan I had at that time.

Run to Mengli Commune and buy some erasers, pencils, notebooks, etc. as rewards."

Luo Xuan asked him, "What happened next?"

Lao Min sighed, "Later... later I slapped myself several times to avoid being mad..."

"take it easy."

Luo Xuan stood up with a machete in hand, "I'm going to chop some bamboo and come back and start weaving a fence.

Later, Lao Min, do you think there is any way to get them to move? Let Namu go get some thatch and bring it back.

Otherwise, the roof of this house might not be sealed today."

Old Min chuckled, "It's a pity that you are here to lead them to work.

If you leave it entirely to Namu, I can guarantee that you won’t even be able to seal the roof of this house after three days."

What Lao Min said certainly makes sense.

But as for Namu, she also has her reasons: because here, they don't have to worry about anything.

For thousands of years,

Life here has always been like this, slowly and leisurely.

If the house is not built yet, what does it matter?

In Namu's mind, she could stay at someone else's house; or she could find a cave and crawl into it.

Why can't we deal with it for a few days?

Since I'm sleeping everywhere.

So urgent...
