Chapter 313 I already knew it
Before going to bed, Anjiu took a pill with his back to his grandmother.
They were filled with anticipation at the thought of sleeping in a comfortable bed and covered with a soft quilt tonight.
Ever since Pu Huai left, grandma has been busy, washing her face, wiping her upper body, and lifting up her trouser legs when washing her feet to wash her calves and thighs as well, for fear that the clean cloth would be soiled by sleeping.
She poured out the dirty water and prepared two basins of new water for Anjiu. Then she rubbed her hands, stood by the bed, and touched the pillow and quilt over and over again. There was surprise and joy in her eyes, and her smile never relaxed.
I love it so much.
Anjiu put away the dishes and started to wash her face and feet.
Since we have a big bucket at home, water is no longer as scarce as before, and even washing vegetables and cooking has become convenient.
Besides, the weather is still warm now, so there is no need to worry about the water being cold.
She found the bagged towels and gave each of them to her grandmother - they had to share them before because they didn't have the conditions, but now that they had the towels, they still had to pay attention to basic hygiene.
Grandma smiled and nodded, "All up to you!"
The master key had been returned to Xiaojiu when the two of them were having a heart-to-heart talk. What was the use of her keeping such a precious thing? Besides, no matter where it was placed, it would not be as safe as in Xiaojiu's space.
And after this incident, both of them understood that they were considering each other, and their hearts became closer.
Anjiu asked grandma to pick up the quilt and pillow, take out the sheets from the space and spread them on them, and also put a thin blanket and pillow on them.
"It's easier to wash it this way when it gets dirty."
After doing all this, the two looked at each other and couldn't wait to take off their shoes and go to bed.
The soft mattress immediately wrapped and supported their bodies, the pillows were also soft, and the quilt was also soft.
It's like a cloud covering my body, and happiness is circling before my eyes.
Grandma was speechless. She never dreamed that she could enjoy such a good thing.
She murmured, "It's so comfortable... It's like being in heaven..."
Anjiu didn't dare to turn over, for fear of pressing on his stomach. After all, he was injured and it had been a busy day. In the comfortable and safe dark environment, he gradually closed his eyes.
Listening to her long and even breathing, grandma carefully tucked in the corner of the quilt for her.
"Sleep well."
She lay back on the soft pillow, feeling like a puddle of mud. Suddenly, the bed board beneath her was no longer hard. She was actually a little uncomfortable and tossed left and right.
I was afraid that it would disturb Xiaojiu's rest, but then I remembered that the mattress was sound-absorbing, so no matter how she turned, there was no noise at all.
As if she was used to her bed, she... couldn't fall asleep.
I got up again to tuck Xiaojiu in, but suddenly found that her body temperature was very high, as if she had a fever.
Grandma's heart skipped a beat and she put her hand to her forehead.
It really is burning!
She quietly turned over and got out of bed. With the help of the moonlight outside the window, she wet a towel with water and wiped Anjiu's face and palms to cool her down.
"You think I didn't see that?"
Grandma's low voice echoed in the room.
"I felt something was wrong the first time I saw you. You looked so unhappy, and Pu Huai even stopped me. After we got home, you always took a deep breath, and every time you wanted to take something heavy, Pu Huai would grab your hand. He winked at you, and I saw it all.
"I know you're afraid that I'll worry, so you don't want me to know. I can only pretend that I didn't notice. I want you to lie down on the bed and rest, but I dare not show it, for fear that you will notice..."
It was not until the sky dawned that the temperature of the wine dropped.
Grandma put her arms under the quilt, quietly put the basin back to its place, washed her face to wake herself up, and quickly lit the fire to cook porridge.
Voices gradually began to be heard in the corridor, but Anjiu was still sleeping soundly.
After the porridge was ready, she served a bowl to Pu Huai next door, and continued to simmer the porridge in the pot over low heat, the softer it was, the better.
Pu Huai thanked his grandmother and asked casually, "She hasn't woken up yet?"
Grandma smiled as usual, "I guess he was tired yesterday and fell asleep."
Pu Huai nodded and said, "Someone in the team asked for leave today, so we are short of one person. Do you want to join the team? We all get the same salary, and the more you work, the more you get."
Grandma knew that this was meant to send her away. Pu Huai was very protective of Xiaojiu yesterday, and he said this today, probably because he wanted Xiaojiu to have a good rest. She might have noticed that he was afraid that the two of them would spend too long together.
Alas... Pu Huai also put a lot of thought into it.
Grandma happily agreed.
When Anjiu woke up, he learned that his grandmother was going to work in the mine today.
"Don't worry, I'm following Captain Pu. You'll have a safe journey. You can rest well at home and don't rush to work." Grandma stuffed the bowl of porridge into her hands.
Before she could do anything, he folded the quilt neatly.
Anjiu was indeed hungry. He had eaten so much last night, but when he woke up, his stomach was empty.
The rice porridge was cooked softer and at just the right temperature, and she ate it with great relish.
Her grandmother, who was secretly observing her, was greatly relieved when she saw this - being able to eat meant that her body was slowly healing.
An Jiu didn't hear any noise from next door, so he asked his grandmother, "Isn't Ji Zhenzhen here?"
I was thinking of letting her and Ji Mo pick out clothes.
Grandma hurriedly did all the work she could do at home, and found time to reply: "They are here, but Captain Pu asked them to gather downstairs - Captain Pu! Xiaojiu is up."
The sudden high-pitched voice almost made Anjiu drop the spoon in his hand.
"What did you call him for?"
Grandma took out the rope and dried vegetables she had put away last night and said, "The weather will definitely be good today. We need to quickly dry the dried vegetables while we are at home, otherwise you won't be able to tie the rope yourself."
Before he finished speaking, Pu Huai pushed the door open, as if he had been waiting outside.
His eyes swept across Anjiu's face, his brows relaxed slightly, and he strode towards grandma, becoming the main force in hanging the ropes and dried vegetables.
Anjiu quickly finished the last few mouthfuls of porridge, took out the bag, filled it with enough dried meat for the two of them to have for lunch, and then washed four firm tomatoes.
In fact, there are staple foods such as sweet potatoes, corn, and steamed dumplings in the space, but they can't be taken out.
"No need to prepare." Pu Huai stopped him, "I can get some food at noon, and save these for later."
Although it’s not better than last night’s meal, it just fills my stomach and who cares about taste?
Anjiu hesitated for a moment and put the food back to its original place.
Grandma was sorting dried vegetables on a rope in the next room. Now she and Pu Huai were the only ones left in the room.
At this moment, he suddenly moved closer, and his tall figure pressed down until his eyes were level with hers.
"Don't forget to go to the clinic for infusion, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, then have a good rest at home, don't run around, and you don't have to collect these things. Wait until we come back."
As if he was worried that his voice was too loud and might be heard by grandma, he lowered his voice to a very low level, making it deep and magnetic, and his warm breath sprayed on Anjiu's face.
