Chapter 73

Jiang Xiaomi touched the wet quilt and smelled a distinct musty odor. She let go of it in disgust: "It's only been a few days, and the mold is growing so fast. If it continues like this, the whole house will be invaded by mold in less than a month. In three months, everyone will get moldy, right?!"

"Today's air humidity is 98%, 1% higher than yesterday." Jiang Xiumian was also worried. What's the difference between this and living in the fog?

He just scratched the surface of the kang with his finger. The humidity was so high that mushrooms could grow even if there were some spores.

"Let's light up the kang!"

Jiang Yipei felt that this was not going to work. If people didn't get sick, then something strange would happen. So he and Jiang Xiaomi put on raincoats and went to the woodshed to fetch firewood and heat the kang in advance.

Finally, why was Jiang Xiaomi the one to go?

You can tell from the fact that she is carrying a bundle of firewood on her shoulders, which is bigger than the one Jiang Yipei is carrying, but she is still walking briskly and leaving her father far behind.

Jiang Yipei is very confident in his daughter's ability to do rough work.

She may not be able to write a few big-character posters with a pen, but she has plenty of ways to go up the mountain and cut down a tree and bring it back.

"Put it here, put it here!" Jiang Suying was no longer surprised by her daughter's great strength. She didn't even need to lend a hand to put the firewood down. Jiang Xiaomi spun it around and the firewood stood up steadily. She clapped her hands and said, "Is that enough? Do you want to move more?"

"Go ahead and move a few more bundles. Put on your raincoats so you don't have to go through the trouble next time."

"Okay." Jiang Xiaomi turned her neck as if she was going to fight.

"Go and take off the quilt cover." Jiang Suying took the rice stalks and firewood that Jiang Yipei had just brought back and started to make a fire while saying to Jiang Xiumian. The latter fumbled to find a pair of scissors and started looking for the thread, but it took him a long time to find it.

After opening it, he was silent for a moment. The quilt was covered with dense black spots, and it was obviously moldy.

Looking at the bed sheet in my hand again, if I look closely, I can see tiny spots of mold.

"Is the bad luck so severe?" Jiang Suying frowned.

If it were in modern times, she would have thrown this kind of quilt far away, but today she hesitated, and finally asked Jiang Xiumian to roll up the kang mat and put the quilt on it to dry.

They don't lack these quilts, but some people do.

The fire burned fiercely, and soon thick white smoke began to come out of the quilt, indicating how heavy the vapor was.

The family of four just stared at the quilt that was emitting increasingly thick white smoke. Jiang Xiaomi said, "I originally thought that the biggest problem with the flood was that it flooded the food, polluted the water source, soaked the house, and left us with nothing to drink and sleep. Now these problems haven't appeared yet, and here comes this mold... What can we do with mold? As long as it rains, it will live forever..."

"Wife, living like this for three months..."

"You are just fooling yourself." Jiang Suying lightly broke Jiang Yipei's unrealistic fantasy: "In just a few days, the quilt is so moldy and you still want to live here for three months? Don't even mention three months. Even if it's just one month, mushrooms will grow on your head. Do you believe it?"

"Believe it, believe it!" Jiang Yipei didn't dare to refute.

"I think you think you have enough food and supplies and can rest easy, right? You keep thinking about giving up every day. Jiang Xiaomi really lets you down!"

Jiang Xiaomi: “…” Did I provoke you?

"Then what do you think we should do?" Jiang Yipei whispered.

He has been busy non-stop for more than ten days. During the busiest time, he only slept four hours a day. Finally, the dust has settled and it is time to deal with the situation!

What's wrong with him just wanting to take a break?
