Chapter 13: Building a Greenhouse

After Lin Chengzhi decided to grow vegetables, he started to act the next day and build a greenhouse.

The location where the greenhouse was built was to the west of Lin Yue's yard. There is next to Lin Yue's pigsty and chicken coop, and there is a small river further west, although the water in the small river is frozen into ice in winter, and there is no water, it is not in the way. Anyway, Lin Chengzhi has recognized this place.

The hometown in the northeast is good for this, there are only four scattered families in Shanggou, so there is a lot of vacant land, and they usually talk to the secretary of the brigade in the summer, and then circle a few plots of land around their yard to plant some vegetables.

After Lin Chengzhi was ready, he began to build a shed according to the steps Lin Yue said. Lin Yue held his little hand behind his back, and in the place where Lin Chengzhi worked, he pointed and inspected back and forth, quite like a military advisor.

Half a month later, Lin Yue's greenhouse was built, and Lin Chengzhi was busy building it himself. When Lin Yue was in Shandong, he had seen a lot of greenhouses, so he was quite satisfied with the greenhouse built by Lin Chengzhi at this time.

Lin Yongtian and Lin Yongfeng were playing in the newly built greenhouse, Lin Chengzhi and Liu Li were digging the ground at this time, and the two of them wanted to plant vegetables as soon as possible to see if they could succeed. The two of them buried the vegetable seeds, picked up water and watered them again. Lin Chengzhi built two stoves in the greenhouse, because there was no stove and coal, Lin Chengzhi could only make do with it first. There is an iron bucket full of water on the stove, and then it is burned with dead branches picked up from the mountain, and when the water boils, the iron bucket will be very hot, and the bucket will be hot to help raise the temperature in the shed. The iron bucket filled with water is the bucket that is usually used at home, and when it is filled with water, it takes two hours to add water to it, which can make Lin Chengzhi tossed. During the day, I was fine, just sitting in the shed, rubbing the buds in my hands, and looking at the water in the bucket. But what if it's night? If the water runs dry or the fire in the pit is extinguished, the temperature in the shed will drop immediately, and the seeds will freeze to death.

On the third day of vegetable planting, Lin Chengzhi sighed several times in the shed. Lin Yue also squatted beside her father, supporting her cheeks with both hands, looking at the vegetable patch that had not changed at all, and she was also anxious.

"Dad, the second aunt is in the mine, can she help our family get a stove? Then send some coal to our family, and when our family makes money in the future, we will give him the money" Lin Yue tilted his head and asked Lin Chengzhi.

Lin Chengzhi did not answer Lin Yue immediately, but lowered his head and continued to rub the corn cob in his hand. He pondered for a while and said to Lin Yue, "My old girl's brain is so good, it turns fast", he stood up, got out of the greenhouse, and went home. Lin Yue hurriedly followed.

"Li, you go to her second aunt's house in the mine, ask Feng if you can help our family borrow a stove, and by the way, give her second aunt a few dozen catties of coal on credit, and then give him money when our family is rich," Lin Chengzhi said to Liu Li, who was wiping the pot.

"Okay, then I'll go to the mine tomorrow and ask" After Liu Li finished speaking, she put the rag in her hand in the basin, washed it, wrung it out, and wiped the lid of the pot.

"Mom~, I'm going too" Lin Yue ran to Liu Li and said coquettishly.

"Don't go, it's such a cold day, your body isn't good yet, don't run around, stay at home honestly" Liu Li stood up and glanced at Lin Yue, and continued, "Last time I went, your mother and I were almost scared, if something happens again this time, you will let your mother live." After speaking, Liu Li bypassed Lin Yue, took the dirty water basin, opened the door of the house, and splashed the dirty water in the basin into the yard.

"Mom, I'll go back this time, promise to be obedient. And then there is the matter of building a greenhouse, I know better than you, I can say that the second aunt and the second aunt will help, you just let me go, okay, okay~" Lin Yue tugged at the corner of Liu Li's clothes and shook it vigorously.

"Otherwise, I'll take the old girl by bicycle tomorrow, you look at the shed at home" After Lin Chengzhi heard Lin Yue's words, he instantly changed his mind and felt that what his daughter said was right.

"You just get used to her, how old is she, you just follow her crazy, she is not sensible, are you still ignorant" Liu Li said a little helplessly.

"Didn't I agree with the old girl's words because I thought it was feasible? The old girl is a big ghost and knows everything. Lin Chengzhi snorted and explained awkwardly.

"Then you go, tell your brother-in-law when the time comes, if it doesn't work, forget it, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, I want to eat a fat man in one go, it's common sense not to help" Liu Li finished speaking and went into the back room.

Lin Yue and Lin Chengzhi clapped their hands happily.
