Chapter 260: Biren
In this era, there is no bottled water, and people have to bring their own water when they go out, and the best tool for carrying water is generally a military kettle.
This kind of military kettle is familiar to many people born in the 60s and 70s. The body of the pot is army green, made of aluminum, the plug is a plastic threaded cap, fixed from both sides of the pot with canvas straps, and the adjustable canvas strap is used for carrying. Until the 80s and even the mid-to-early 90s, this kind of kettle was popular.
Li Liang and the others each hung such a military kettle on their bicycles and filled them with water. In July, the blazing sun shone on people's bodies, and sweat broke out on everyone's heads and bodies.
"Brother, I want to drink water!" Zhang Junjie shouted.
"You can untie the kettle tied to the rear car yourself!" Zhang Meng said.
"I can't sit still!" Mr. Zhang said.
"Hey, you have a lot to do, okay, wait, I'll stop!" Zhang Meng said, "Chaozi, Liangzi, let's stop and rest first!"
"Good!"
Several teenagers put their bicycles on the side of the road, and all four of them untied their water bottles from their bicycles, found a large tree on the side of the road, and sat down under the shade to drink water and rest.
"It's so hot. Li Liang said with emotion, "Brother Meng, you are very hot and tired when you work in Jian'an Company, I heard my uncle say that sometimes when the construction period is tight, you and he will go to the construction site to work?"
"Yes, I'm so tired, but fortunately, we only occasionally go to help when we are really in a hurry!" Zhang Meng said with emotion.
"Did the company prepare ten drops of water, Ren Dan, cool oil, mung bean soup and other things for the employees to relieve the heat?" asked Li Liang.
Ten drops of water is a common heatstroke prevention medicine, which is of high quality and low price, mainly used for dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal discomfort caused by heatstroke, etc., and the effect is excellent. Ren Dan has a similar effect to it.
"Ryoko, don't worry. We have prepared these things a long time ago, and we always have things like ten drops of water on the construction site!" Zhang Meng said with a smile.
"That's good, the company makes money, and it must not make money that has no conscience, so the money that should be spent must be spent!"
"I'm in the company with your brother-in-law, what else are you worried about!" Zhang Meng said with a smile.
Zhang Junjie rested for a while, relieved himself, and he interjected: "Brother Liang, don't you know my eldest brother, it's better to treat others than to your own family." Especially for Sister Mengmeng~~ Ahem"
Before Zhang Junjie's words were finished, Zhang Meng blindfolded his mouth.
"What nonsense are you talking about, be careful that I tear your mouth apart!" Zhang Meng blushed.
Zhang Meng has been chasing Li Liang's sister Li Meng during this time, but there has not been much progress. At most, Li Meng will call a few friends during the holidays, and when there are men and women, he will call Zhang Meng to play together. As for the solo date, Zhang Meng has not yet enjoyed this kind of treatment.
At this time, Zhang Meng, like other young people, fell into the whirlpool of love. treated Li Meng respectfully, for fear of making Li Meng angry.
As for Li Liang and the others, he didn't dare to let Li Liang know.
Zhang Junjie also knew that he seemed to be in trouble, so he hurriedly begged for mercy after his brother Zhang Meng covered his mouth, and then never said anything about it.
Li Liang deliberately asked Zhang Junjie: "Junjie, you just said that Brother Meng is better to others than to his own family, what happened to my sister?"
"No, it's nothing! Brother Liang!" Zhang Junjie hesitated for two seconds under Zhang Meng's gaze, and then blurted out: "It's that Sister Mengmeng's bicycle chain fell off a few days ago, and my brother helped Sister Mengmeng connect the chain!"
This sentence is purely Zhang Junjie's nonsense, the actual situation is that when Li Liang went to his grandfather's house two days ago, Zhang Meng secretly went to find Li Meng, and was discovered by Zhang Junjie, who was a little ghost. At that time, Zhang Meng bought a few catties of bananas that Li Meng particularly liked to eat, and went to the hospital to give them to Li Meng to eat.
Bananas are still relatively expensive, not as cheap as in later generations, and Zhang Junjie's parents rarely buy them at home. When Zhang Junjie found out about this, he asked his brother Zhang Meng to buy some for him to eat!
This has become evidence that Zhang Meng is better to others than to his own people.
Zhang Meng is really wronged!
Zhang Meng saw that his younger brother Zhang Junjie had an idea to tell a little lie, and his heart was secretly relieved.
He also thought that Li Liang didn't know that he wanted to chase Li Meng, but in fact, Li Liang already knew. However, Li Liang's conscience is happy to see it, Zhang Meng and his sister Li Meng have encountered different tragedies in their previous lives; but in fact, these two people are very good people, although Zhang Meng is a bit rough, but he has a strong sense of responsibility and is down-to-earth; his sister Li Meng is a good person who is difficult to find in the world. Such a pair of beautiful people should be together.
The four of them rested for a while under the trees on the side of the road, and there were very few bicycles on the road, and the most were travelers like Li Liang and them who rode bicycles. Many people also have two bamboo baskets tied to the back seat, one on the left and one on the right, and all kinds of things are placed in them.
They continued to ride in the direction of the alpine forest farm in Xima Township, and along the way, they also saw many farmers holding bicycles and piling up watermelons, pears and other fruits at the interface between the exit of the village and the road.
"Brother, I want to eat pear melon!" Zhang Junjie shouted again.
This time, Zhang Meng didn't say anything, and immediately stopped to bargain with the farmer who sold pear melons and bought four pear melons. Pear melon, also called muskmelon, melon, is a treasure among melons. The melon is white or green, and the appearance is pear. It tastes watery and sweet. Each melon weighs one to two catties. Its size and shape are very similar to the famous Lanzhou white melon, but they are not the same. The white melon eats meat and does not eat the skin, it is as sweet as honey; the pear melon in Jiangxi Province belongs to the thin-skinned melon, not only the meat is delicious, but also the skin is very thin, and it is still sweet and pleasant to eat with the skin, and there is no residue.
"Liangzi, Chaozi, let's finish eating the pear melon and leave, I estimate that it will be there in less than half an hour!" Zhang Meng simply cleaned the skin of the pear melon with the water in the kettle and handed it to his younger brother Zhang Junjie.
"Brother Meng, it's too hot on this road, let's rush to the forest farm first and then eat!" Li Liang said.
Wang Chao also agreed with Li Liang's opinion, in fact, Zhang Meng didn't want to eat, so the three of them rode the car and continued to hurry, only Zhang Junjie sat in the back seat of his brother's car, eating happily.
Lei Lei's alpine forest farm is in Tianma Mountain in Xima Township, which has a long history and rich products. The gate of the forest farm opens halfway up Mt. Tenma, and when you reach the bottom of the mountain, the road up the mountain becomes steeper and steeper. Zhang Meng asked his younger brother Zhang Junjie to get out of the car and walk by himself, and the three of them pushed the bicycle to get on the bus.
"Brother, it seems to have arrived, I'm almost exhausted!"
Finally saw the gate of the forest farm, Zhang Junjie was almost exhausted!
The gate of the alpine forest farm is not big or high, in fact, it is two big trees erected side by side, and there is a sign with black characters on a white background hanging on the tree on the left side of the road, and the sign reads 'Hekang County Alpine Forest Farm'.
The mountains are high and densely forested, and there are no facilities such as security rooms or communication rooms.
