Chapter 168: High Temperature
Early the next morning, the first thing Li Chen did when he woke up was to pick up his mobile phone and look at the weather forecast.
Looking at the naked 38° heat above, Li Chen couldn't help but wail.
Because the seeds have just been planted, they must be watered for a while at first.
Although there is an aqueduct in the field, it is useless to bring water to the ground, and it still needs to be watered manually, and he has not bought any automatic irrigation system or anything...... Maybe it will be necessary to expand the area of planting in the future.
Cheer up, get up and wash, and before the sun is rising, water the ground first, and the hard day begins.
…………
By the time the ground had been watered, the sun had risen, and the weeds on the ground had withered and the leaves had fallen softly.
On the way back, Li Chen turned a corner and went to the field to see the situation of the seedlings, like this weather of more than 30 degrees, you have to lift both ends of the film to breathe, otherwise the seeds have to be simmered for you.
However, when he arrived in the field, Li Chen knew that he was worried about the sky, because the two sides of the film had already been opened.
Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "I'm blindly worried, my parents have been planting fields for half their lives, so why do I need to worry about it." ”
When I returned to the village, except for the sparse tourists under the woods by the lake, everyone else didn't know where to go to escape the heat, and wondered if I would build a summer resort in the future......
When Li Chen came back wet, Ye Jingting was reading a book under the tree in the yard, not to mention a few animals, which must be running in the shade.
"It's really hot, it's hot. Li Chen took off his soaked shirt and walked towards the tree in the courtyard.
Ye Jingting glanced at Li Chen and sneered, "Who told you to go out without a hat." ”
After Li Chen hung his wet clothes on the branches, he sat down opposite Ye Jingting, "Who knew that the sun would rise so fast, didn't I think I could finish watering the ground first? ”
Picked up an apple on the table, took a big bite, and asked vaguely, "By the way, what about my parents? Why didn't I see them, so I wouldn't go out to do farm work." ”
"Mom and Dad should go talk to the villagers. Turning the page, he continued: "It's such a hot day now, how can it still fall to the ground, and if you want to go down to the ground, you have to wait for the evening." ”
Li Chen was speechless, so he had to eat apples and remain silent.
……
……
Afternoon......
"Fourth uncle, are you at home? At this time, Li Chen was shouting loudly in the courtyard of the fourth uncle.
Now Li Chen has already taken a bath, changed his clothes, and is staring at the big black dog with a big straw hat with big eyes.
Fortunately, the fourth uncle came out soon, "Xiao Chen, what are you going to make trouble on such a hot day?"
Looking at the big black dog that was still staring at him, Li Chen said helplessly: "Fourth uncle, you don't care about your dog." ”
After finishing speaking, he heard a scolding from the fourth uncle, and the black dog obediently stuck out his tongue and ran to the shade next to him and got up.
Li Chen was stunned for a while, he didn't bother to tell the story of this dog and his grievances now, anyway, the fourth uncle must have laughed and said nothing.
"Tell me, are you looking for something about me?"
Li Chen sighed for a moment, "Hmm...... It's just that there are some things that need to be discussed with you to see if it works. ”
"Come into the house and talk. The fourth uncle looked at Li Chen as if he was about to make a tirade, and then turned around and walked towards the house.
"Ho! the fourth uncle will enjoy it!" Li Chen, who had just walked into the house, was surprised.
As soon as he entered the house, Li Chen felt what is called the two heavens of ice and fire, as if he had jumped from the equatorial fish to the North Pole, and the air conditioner was turned on in the house, which was not too cool.
"Fourth uncle, although the air conditioning is good in summer, you must also be modest!" Li Chen reminded, after all, the old man can't stay in the air-conditioned room all the time in summer.
The fourth uncle glared at Li Chen, "Don't think that your fourth uncle doesn't go online! I often video chat with your third uncle every year." ”
Well, Li Chen did forget about the Fourth Uncle Guild's use of smart phones, after all, his thinking habits dictated that he always thought that the old man would not use the Internet.
"There is mung bean soup in the fridge, I have to eat it myself. The fourth uncle sat down on the stool as he spoke.
Only then did Li Chen realize that there was still a bowl of mung bean soup on the table! A bowl of iced mung bean soup in summer could not be better, to cool off the heat, relieve boredom, and cool down in the summer.
If you have to eat, Li Chen will naturally not be polite, and he is not an outsider, so he simply made a big bowl of mung bean soup and came out.
"You kid, you still use a sea bowl, you're embarrassed!"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, you're not my fourth uncle. Li Chen said with a smile, lowered his head and took a big sip of mung bean soup, and exhaled comfortably.
"By the way, Fourth Uncle, how is the Third Uncle doing now, when will he be able to come back?"
The third uncle is the son of the fourth uncle, named Li Yushan, Li Chen remembers that there should be twenty-six or seven, well... According to the fourth uncle, he has already found a girlfriend. Now he is busy with his own small business in the Philippines, which is to buy some cheap goods from China, and then pull them to the Philippines to earn the difference in wholesale to the small vendors there.
Li Chen was a little skeptical that the third uncle was looking for a foreign girlfriend... Black girl.
"It's okay, he said he should be back this year and will come back with his girlfriend. Speaking of this, the fourth uncle was happy.
Can you be happy, the third uncle hasn't come back for three years, and this time he not only came back, but also brought a girlfriend back, or the third sister-in-law is more suitable.
"The third uncle's girlfriend is local?" Local refers to the local area of the Philippines.
"I didn't ask, it's all a child's business anyway, so I didn't ask, he was happy. ”
Li Chen said with a smile while drinking mung bean soup: "Ha, that's a good feeling, but don't you worry about bringing you a black girl back?"
When the fourth uncle heard this, he glared at Li Chen, ", what's wrong with the black baby, as long as he likes it, it's no problem to bring two back!"
"Poof~" Li Chen squirted out the mung bean soup in his mouth, but it also rushed into his nose.
"Why are you reacting so much, what's wrong with the black baby, aren't they all women!" The fourth uncle got up and took the tissue and handed it to Li Chen.
After Li Chen squirted out the mung bean particles in his nose, he smiled unkindly: "No, it's really surprising that you keep saying this." ”
The fourth uncle rolled his eyes and didn't speak, lowered his head and drank the mung bean soup slowly.
The fourth uncle didn't speak, but Li Chen's gossip didn't stop!, "You don't have to worry about finding a foreign one when the time comes, and you won't be able to speak Chinese dialect when the time comes, how should you communicate." ”
The fourth uncle raised his head and said angrily: "Don't you know it when you celebrate the New Year, you can't learn." ”
Then he said, "If there is something you can't pay attention to, tell me quickly." ”
Only then did Li Chen remember that he had something to do here, and he forgot about business when he talked about gossip.
