The extremely cold weather is not all year-round wind and snow, and there are times when the sun is on, but the sun is very light and the melting snow is very limited.

But with the intelligent lighting system, even the light sunlight brings infinite hope to the people who live underground for a long time.

Xu Yin's four children also gathered in the garden patio to bask in the sun and do farm work.

"I had a horrible, horrible dream last night." Xu Xi squatted in the field, pulling weeds for the vegetable patch, "I dreamed that a ghost came to catch us, and he ...... like this" She put on a look that she thought was terrible, "I'm scared to death!" ”

Xu Dong laughed at her: "Xixi is a coward, Aunt Xiao Zhu said that there are no ghosts in this world at all!" ”

"Nonsense!" Xu Xi retorted to him, "The nurse who vaccinated me still said that there are no gods." ”

“……”

Xu Dong thought about it, and seemed to be right: "Okay, okay, but what are ghosts to be afraid of!" Next time, I'll throw a left hook and a right hook and make them scream. ”

Xu Yin listened to Xu Xi talk about ghosts, and remembered that night, in order to scare the bandits, the mixed ghost laughter cassette under the scene of the ghost movie recorded in advance with the universal voice actor seemed to have forgotten to take it out of the tape recorder.

When she went to get it, she accidentally pressed the play button, and the bunker instantly sounded with terrifying music and ghost laughter:

"Cluck-"

"Hehehe-"

"Boom—"

"Ahhh

Xu Dong was so frightened that he jumped up, hugged Xu Xi beside him and trembled: "Ghost! Ghosts! ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

Who said you want to beat the ghost with a left hook and a right hook?

……

Knowing that it was an oolong, Xu Dong's little guts who ran away from home came back, and he could do it again:

"I'll just say it's not a real ghost, I'm not afraid of a real ghost!"

“……”

Yes, yes, you're right!

"Wow! Nana is in bloom! Good Bleach! Xu Xi pulled the grass and found a few plants with small white flowers in the pumpkin field next to him, and beckoned to everyone happily, "Come here, there are good flowers here!" ”

"Let me see! Let me see! Xu Dong leaned over and found that it was a few small white flowers, and looked away in disappointment, "Isn't it the little chrysanthemum that the dean's mother likes to drink tea, and there is a bush behind the courtyard wall, what is there to look at." ”

"I just like it!"

Xu Xi said, stretched out his hand to pick it, but was pulled by Xu Yin.

This is the strawberry seed she secretly mixed in the seed bag and bloomed, don't wait for the little friend to be Huo Huo if it doesn't bear fruit.

If you only plant seeds collected by the dean's mother, then it will always be a pragmatic vegetable such as cabbage, radish, pumpkin, and potatoes.

So she mixed a lot of herbaceous melon and fruit seeds, including watermelon, melon, strawberry, blueberry, cherry tomato, etc., and wanted her friends to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits with their own hands.

These two are apparently strawberries.

Xu Xi tilted her head and asked her, "Yinyin, what are you dragging me for, I'll pick flowers and flowers, okay for you?" ”

"It's not a daisy." Fortunately, the best partner Ning Jin came over and looked at it and said.

He had observed the daisies that the dean's mother had turned over before, and it was obviously not the same variety as this little white flower, so he brought Xu Yin the "Encyclopedia of Plants" that Xu Yin took out to reward them a few days ago, and compared it page by page.

"Found it! It's a strawberry flower! ”

"Strawberry flowers? Is it an edible strawberry? ”

"Well, the book says that strawberries bloom first and then bear fruit, and each flower will produce 6 flower melons, which are white and yellow in the center. When the melon falls, the fruit in the center of the flower will slowly grow and turn red, indicating that the strawberry is ripe.

"What's a melon?" Xu Dong asked Xu Yin the same confusion.

She looked at the "Encyclopedia of Plants" he flipped to the strawberry page, oh, it's petals. And the heart of the flower in his mouth is actually a flower stamen.

This typograph!

However, he is already much more powerful than children of the same age, Xu Dong and Xu Xi can only barely recognize a handful of words, and he can already read the entire "Encyclopedia of Plants" very closely.

When Xu Dong and Xu Xi heard that this was a strawberry, they were crazy with joy:

"It's strawberries! Sweet strawberries! ”

"Oooh! We've got strawberries to eat! ”

"Is it a small wild strawberry, or is it a big strawberry that the nurse invited us to eat?"

"I love all the big strawberries and wild strawberries!" Xu Dong declared, "Strawberries are the best fruit I have ever tasted!" ”

"I said this isn't a little chrysanthemum!" Xu Xi patted his chest, "Fortunately, I didn't pick it." ”

Xu Yin: It's okay again now, right?

Since the strawberries bloomed, the friends have become more and more motivated, reporting to the vegetable field on time every morning, and the attraction of the small fish and shrimp in the pond next door to them has also weakened.

Pull the grass for a while and look up at the strawberry blossoms, loosen the soil for a while and look up at the strawberry blossoms, even if you water it, you will feed the strawberries a few more bites.

"Strawberry strawberry, why don't you bear fruit yet?"

"Strawberry strawberry, you grow up quickly!"

"When will strawberries eat you?"

Xu Yin: "......"

If strawberries can understand people's words, there is a high probability that they are unwilling to bear fruit, and hope that they will only bloom and not bear fruit for a lifetime, so that you can see but not eat.

After staying in the bunker for a long time, Xu Dong and Xu Xi, who are lively by nature, inevitably want to go up and have a look.

In the afternoon of this day, several people played for a while and rolled the hoop, playing all over the body, Xu Dong took off his thin cotton coat, looked up at the ceiling, and suddenly thought: "Brother Ning, is it really cold outside?" Can I go out and play in a big padded jacket? ”

Xu Xi: "Brother Ning, let's go build a snowman together!" ”

Xu Dong: "Brother Ning definitely wants to have a snowball fight as much as I do." ”

Ning Jin is still a child after all, and she is a little ready to move by them.

Mainly after living in the bunker for a long time, he gradually forgot the cold that pierced the bone marrow at minus ten or twenty degrees, and hesitated to look at Xu Yin: "Does Yin Yin want to go up and play?" ”

Xu Yin doesn't care, she wears an automatic thermostat.

Children are curious, and they don't let them go, so they definitely dig out their minds and try their best to go. I went, maybe I froze back before I even started playing.

"Okay." She nodded.

Xu Dong and Xu Xi cheered:

"Oooh! You can go up and play! ”

"I'm going to build a snowman."

"I want to have a snowball fight."

"Then build a snowman first and then have a snowball fight?"

"Okay, okay......"

Xu Dong took a step back, who made him a little man!

The four children dressed properly, went up to the transition area on the basement floor, and excitedly pushed open the entrance and exit of the bunker in the stairwell, eager to go out and play, but the cold air from the pavement made them feel excited.

"Ahh

"Shhh I'm freezing to death! ”

How can the children in the welfare home have down jackets to resist the extreme cold, even the warmest winter coats are just ordinary thickness cotton jackets, where can they withstand the cold of minus twenty or thirty degrees.

As Xu Yin expected, in less than three minutes, let alone building snowmen and having snowball fights, before they reached the yard and touched the snow, the friends shrank their necks and automatically hid back to the bunker like a quail.

"It's so cold outside, it's still warm here!"

"I don't want to go out again!"

"Me too."

Xu Yin: I bet you'll want to go up again in less than a month.
