The sound of rain lingering along the eaves, forming a curtain of crystal water between it and the ground.

Liu Yi stood in the corridor and looked at the scene in front of him a little unhappy, after inspecting several projects under the jurisdiction of the village yesterday, it rained heavily today.

In the village, Liu Yi hadn't paid attention to the changes in the weather for a long time, and he wasn't alert to the few times it rained in spring, but when he was having breakfast today, he heard his mother say that summer was about to begin, and the rainy season unique to the mountain city was coming.

Isn't this a living proof that he is looking at the raindrops outside!

I don't know what the situation is in the Ludao orchard, the rain is also not good for the growth of strawberries, and there are so many melons and fruits planted under the citrus trees, and the early spring watermelon Liu Yi has not seen it before, and it is not far from maturity.

Putting on a raincoat, Liu Yi was a little impatient in his mother's advice and Ye Ziyan's concerned gaze, and he didn't go under the knife outside, as for telling him to pay attention to this idea so carefully?

Along the highway before reaching the orchard, Liu Yi has observed that the number of tourists today is obviously much smaller than the number of people who came to play in the past.

But according to Liu Yi's analysis, there are a lot of people who come out in pairs today, and most of them are young people, it goes without saying that this is some young couples walking in the rain and learning romance!

Some regret not asking Ye Ziyan to come out, otherwise they can also walk in the rain. Even snuggling up to each other when the love is strong, throwing away the passion of the umbrella, how beautiful it is!

However, Liu Yi thought about it, there will be a long time in the future, so it is better to do serious things first, and at most pick some fresh fruits for him to comfort when he goes back.

The path passed through the greenhouse laboratory, which was still quiet, only Professor Shen sat silently in a huge open space outside the laboratory, and seemed to be caught in the sound of dripping raindrops around him.

"Professor Shen, what are you doing here?" Liu Yi stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

"Oh. Koyanagi. Today, some students are doing experiments in it, and one of them has a great breakthrough in his experiment, he found a mutated gene in a fruit tree. This gene causes the tree to grow thicker and taller. The ingredients in it are also effective against pests and diseases! Professor Shen was very interested in seeing Liu Yi and talked to him about the recent laboratory results.

"Yes. That's great, I built this lab in the hope that you will come up with more and more useful things! It's amazing how quickly there was a breakthrough! "Thinking about it, half a year has invested a lot in this, and Liu Yi originally just wanted to cover the fruit trees and vegetables in the village. Of course, he is very happy to have achieved results now.

But Professor Shen said with some twists: "It's just a little breakthrough, there is still a distance from success, I just can't control the joy in my heart to tell you, you also have to give us time to study slowly!" ”

As if he felt that it was too early to reveal such information to Liu Yi now, Professor Shen hurriedly retracted some of what he had just said.

"These professors who do academic research are really rigorous," Liu Yi thought first.

If the businessman who makes commercial products makes progress in a certain aspect, then the propaganda scenes and advertisements will come out like no money, which means that the product must be made famous before it is put on sale, so as to facilitate the future sales of the product!

Thinking of this, Liu Yi said with a smile: "Professor Shen, I'm not in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, take your time, I can afford to wait, and I have time to wait!" ”

After talking to Professor Shen again, Liu Yi continued to walk towards the orchard.

Coming to the orchard, it was really because of the rain, there were few tourists who came to pick fruits, and the fourth brother and a few orchard employees had nothing to do now and chatted boringly under a canopy at the door.

Seeing Liu Yi coming over to inspect, several employees hurriedly stood up and looked a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that Liu Yi would come over to check on a rainy day!

However, Liu Yi motioned for them to sit down, it was a rainy day, and there were usually many people who couldn't rest, but when they had free time, Liu Yi wouldn't ask these employees so strictly, they were all villagers from nearby neighbors, and now it was very good to be able to come over to help do things, and now it is difficult for the village to find villagers to do things, and they are busy with their own affairs!

"Hehe, what a good thing to say, I see that you all know how to look bright!" Liu Yi asked happily.

The fourth brother was originally his own family, and seeing that Liu Yi was not angry, he also said with a smile: "Second baby, we are all talking about the rare day off, we have been busy every day, we keep our feet, and it is rare to have time to rest today!" ”

"Now that the rainy season is here, there will be a lot of rainy days in the future, and you will have enough time to rest, but it turns out that there is indeed a shortage of manpower to make everyone very hard, and I will consider giving you a salary increase in this busy month!" Liu Yi said to them seriously.

"Erwa this, this is so embarrassing!" The villagers and employees of the orchard immediately showed joy on their faces, but they still spoke humble words.

Liu Yi waved his hand: "These are as they should be, it rains here today, the strawberries in the orchard have no effect, and the melons and fruits under the citrus trees will not be affected on rainy days?" ”

"You can rest assured that we all take turns to inspect the orchard every day, and we all know the growth of each fruit in it, that is, the strawberry mulch is damaged when tourists pick it, we will use new ones to make up, and the fruit will not come into contact with the soil at all, and it will not affect the quality of strawberries at all!" An employee of the orchard now said playfully.

"Ha Luha, that's good, these things are to be imported, or to be as clean as possible, not sloppy!" Liu Yi also had to check the situation in other places, and told him again before leaving!

The rainy sky, the village is like being shrouded in a cloud of mist, a lot of white rain and mist coiled in the mountains, with the wind blowing and still changing in the appearance, the mountain peaks are hidden in this thick white rain and fog from time to time, it is really like a fairy land.

Walking along the cement road of the orchard, Liu Yi's mood was extremely comfortable.

The rain washed over the sky, taking away the hustle and bustle of the past, leaving a precious peace.

Let the gradually noisy mountain village return to the peace of the past, at this time, there is no rush when he was busy with farming when he was a child, so that Liu Yi has more different feelings about the current mountain village.

Although the staff of the orchard said just now that there is no problem with the melons and fruits under the citrus tree, Liu Yi still can't stop the curiosity in his heart, how long will the early-maturing watermelons under the tree take to ripen!

Leaving the concrete path and entering the citrus grove, the ground here has been cleared of weeds for a long time, except for some shallow grass that is still creeping on the ground, which is a very lush melon vine.

When planting melons and fruits, it was the area that Liu Yi divided, and he knew very well what kind of melon seeds were planted here.

When he came to the plot where early-maturing watermelons were planted, Liu Yi casually picked up a watermelon rattan and slowly brushed it along the direction of the rattan growth.

This watermelon is also known as the explosive melon, with thin skin and thick flesh, sweet juice, and is a very good melon seed. The second is that as long as this fresh watermelon is not easy to burst, especially when you gently cut the skin with a knife!

Liu Yi patted the skin of this watermelon and touched the reflection of the inside of the watermelon with his hand, as long as it is accompanied by a crisp echo, it means that the watermelon is ripe and can be picked, if it is to be transported to the market for sale, it must not be too ripe when picking, it must be a half-ripe watermelon, because the watermelon will slowly ripen in the process of handling.

Regret gave up the first watermelon, the watermelon is obviously not edible, in the other vines, below began to show more and more watermelons out, it seems that this year's watermelon harvest is not bad, this is the first batch of disorganized on the ground to bear a lot of watermelons, there are more small melons, and watermelons that have just faded stamen.

Looking around, Liu Yi finally found a few good ones, picked 5 or 6, there are more watermelons in the family, and there are not enough to stuff the teeth, even if these can only be tasted by the family, and they can only eat when a large area is ripe in the future!

Bringing the watermelon to the fourth brother and telling him to bring it back when he returned, Liu Yi came to the tent area, which was a whole eucalyptus forest, and now it was drizzling, but it had no effect on the tent under the eucalyptus tree.

Compared to the beginning of construction, this area has changed a lot.

Each tent in the forest is equipped with electric lights and a wire plug board, and no matter where people go nowadays, their mobile phones will not run out of power.

Secondly, there are all drainage ditches behind the tents, and the rain of the rainy season has little effect on these drainage ditches, and it seems that they can only be tested by a light rainstorm in the middle of summer.

Then walk through the specially built bathroom and a toilet in the tent area under the tent area, so that the waste discharged by these tourists can be used directly for crops down the mountain.

In addition to these, along with the toilets and bathrooms, there is a spacious relaxation room with some tables, chairs and benches, which can be played by all visitors for free, but if you want to play cards, you can only bring them yourself or buy them at the store.

Because it was raining today, there were not many tourists coming, but a lot of people walked today, so there are still some vacant tents, and there are some hired aunts and aunts in them who are cleaning up the bedding in the tents.

But in other tents, Liu Yi can still vaguely see the lights on from time to time, and there are even human voices and laughter in some tents, and it seems that there are still a lot of tourists curled up inside, which is intended to stay in it for a long time! (To be continued......)
