After dinner, the rain still showed no sign of stopping. Wang Qiang touched his full belly, yawned with satisfaction, and prepared to take a nap.
"Captain Chen, there's nothing wrong now. I'm just going to take a nap."
Wang Qiang knew that it was raining outside and Chen Jie would not let him go out to work, so he deliberately spoke about Chen Jie.
"If you want to sleep, go back to your room and sleep. There aren't that many places here."
Chen Jie plans to be out of sight and out of mind.
Now that today's dinner is settled, Wang Qiang can get out so as not to affect his mood.
"Captain Chen, it's raining outside! If I walk back, I'll get wet."
Wang Qiang had no intention of getting up and wanted to stay and watch the excitement.
"Wang Qiang, if you don't want to go back, just help me work."
Xiao Baihe also felt that Wang Qiang was annoying, so she said this deliberately.
"What work?"
Wang Qiang looked at Xiao Baihe curiously. Knowing that Xiao Baihe was looking for trouble with him, Wang Qiang still wanted to ask to see what kind of job Xiao Baihe could find for him and how he could make things difficult for him.
"Oh, I don't have much work to do. Here are the rice dumpling leaves I made. You can make these rice dumpling leaves into mattresses. Just make a few more. Isn't your Zhang Li pregnant? She always sleeps on the grass.
It’s not comfortable either, so get her a mattress.”
Xiao Baihe deliberately made things difficult for Wang Qiang, and the main purpose was to drive Wang Qiang away.
"I, when will I make the mattress? I thought you were saving these leaves for the fire."
When Wang Qiang heard Xiao Baihe's words, he sat up and looked at Xiao Baihe curiously.
Originally, when Wang Qiang saw Xiao Baihe drying these leaves, he thought they were for making fire, but now he realized that Xiao Baihe was planning to make a mattress.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know it, you can learn!"
Xiao Baihe didn't want to let Wang Qiang go at all, so she picked up the rice dumpling leaves on the ground and started weaving.
But Xiao Baihe knitted for a long time, but couldn't figure it out. Looking at the knotted rice dumpling leaves in his hand, Xiao Baihe raised his head and looked at Chen Jie, just in time to see Chen Jie looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Captain, you have to do this! I really can't do it."
Xiao Baihe pursed her lips and had to admit that her skills were inferior to others.
"Oh, bring it here and I'll teach you."
Chen Jie smiled and spoke gently.
Seeing this, Xiao Baihe looked happy and quickly brought the rice dumpling leaves in front of Chen Jie.
Chen Jie knitted skillfully and taught Xiao Lily very patiently.
Wang Qiang didn't want to learn at first, but seeing Xiao Baihe's seriousness in learning, Wang Qiang also became curious and started to learn seriously.
"Captain Chen, I can also help."
Seeing that all the girls were paying attention to Chen Jie, Bai Fan felt a little itchy and wanted to learn something.
"You'd better take good care of yourself and go rest."
Chen Jie glanced at Bai Fan and continued what he was doing.
Bai Fan listened to Chen Jie's words and knew that Chen Jie meant well, but he also felt a little uncomfortable because he felt that Chen Jie was targeting him.
But then thinking about it, Chen Jie just wanted to have a good rest and recuperate his body, and Bai Fan started to get confused again.
For a whole afternoon, everyone woven a large mattress, which could be placed in the small bamboo house.
"Great, I have a mattress to sleep on tonight."
Chen Yanyan said with a smile. Seeing the fruits of everyone's hard work, Chen Yanyan was filled with excitement.
"Yeah, I haven't slept on a mattress for a long time."
Lisa was also full of joy.
Girls all like soft things.
"It's my fault. I've been busy lately and I didn't get you a soft mattress."
Chen Jie said guiltily, feeling that these girls were suffering by following him.
"Captain, that's not what we meant..." Chen Yanyan knew that Chen Jie had misunderstood what she meant, so she quickly explained.
"Okay, stop being pretentious, now we should think of ways to face the current predicament."
