Chapter 1311: Gou in the Last Days of the Natural Disaster (39)
After playing this, Xu Dong and Xu Xi have a happy place to go after school.
They are lively by nature and already like to play with their peers.
In the past, there was no way, children of the same age did not know much, and some parents did not like their children to be close to the children in the welfare home, as if they would get some infectious disease.
In fact, the four of them have to go to work in the fields in the morning, and they take a bath every day, and they are very clean.
But those parents don't think so, thinking that seven or eight-year-old orphans, who grew up in welfare homes, must not be so particular, so they restrain their children and prevent them from playing together.
If you don't play, you don't play!
Xu Yin and Ning Jin don't care.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi may have been lost before, but now, they are reunited with Nanbei Guanghui, don't be too happy, as long as it's not their turn to do hygiene and housework, they will run to Datong as soon as they get out of school.
Xu Yin took advantage of their absence, and Xiao Jin was busy in the kitchen again, secretly adding a few handfuls of rice to the rice bag, adding a few potatoes and dried ears of corn to the pile of coarse grains.
I can't add eggs, Xu Xi remembers them.
In a flash, another month passed.
After the opening of Canterlot, there were obviously more smiles on people's faces than before.
Even if you can't afford to buy an ice pack for the time being, at least there is hope.
The dungeon has been lived for a long time, even if it has a lighting system, a fresh air system, and a constant temperature system, and the comfort is no less than most people's previous living conditions, but no matter how comfortable it is, it is still underground.
Everyone is extremely eager for sunshine, just as a traveler in a long drought longs for rain.
So, the labor trading hall has been lively recently, who doesn't want to take on a few more jobs, earn more contribution points, and save enough five thousand to exchange for ice bags?
The planting department began to study drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant crops, and was preparing to go to the ground to open a tropical crop test field, and began to recruit vegetable farmers who were willing to work in the test field.
The vegetable farmers in the underground planting area have long adapted to the labor intensity of the negative second floor, not to mention that there is heating in the extreme cold here, and there is air conditioning in high temperature weather, both cold and warm, and they are accustomed to a comfortable working environment, where are they willing to work in a high temperature environment of fifty or sixty degrees? What if you have an ice pack? The environment is not as comfortable as the underground growing area.
Except for Xu Yin.
When she heard the news, she approached Professor Liu and took the initiative to apply to work on the ground.
Professor Liu opened his mouth and almost blurted out to ask if she had a fever.
"Child, the current temperature on the ground is not suitable for human life for a long time, and we have no choice but to organize vegetable farmers to go up to cultivate. As you can see, it is difficult to expand the planting area, but the output of grain and vegetables is limited, and there is no way to feed the citizens. If the hot weather will persist for a long time, we can only try to adapt and find a way to grow crops that are suitable for this temperature. But you're still young, and even if no one signs up, the base will force people to go up and work, and it won't be your turn. You ......"
After a pause, Professor Liu seemed to think of something: "Are you not enough to eat?" Also, you have so much strength, and you must have eaten a lot. In this way, I am old and can't eat so much, so I personally allocate ten catties of rations to you every month, and let Xiaohu send you this month's share in a while. ”
Xu Yin couldn't cry or laugh: "Grandpa Liu, I don't have enough to eat, I just want to work on the ground." I'm not afraid of the heat, and I've saved up to buy an ice bag, and it won't get hot with an ice bag on my back. ”
Professor Liu didn't believe her words, he had seen people who came to him and were unwilling to change positions, and he had never met people who took the initiative to apply to work on the ground.
You must know that the land on the ground, even if it was once a special fertile land, was first frozen into ice and soil by two years of extreme cold, then soaked in melting snow for half a year, and now it is scorched into a drought by the scorching sun, and even if it rains, the rain that falls is hot.
It can be said that in the past few years, the fertile land has been subjected to the test of nature's devil every day, and if it were replaced by a human, it would have been tortured to the point that it would not work, and would it still have the energy to grow crops?
Therefore, the vegetable farmers sent to the ground are not only faced with the difficulty of planting in hot weather, but also have to observe and find ways to convert dry land into fertile land suitable for cultivation in a short time.
Xu Yin was mentally prepared for this: "Don't worry, professor!" I'm not going to back down! I'll stick with it until the end! I can apply for self-study and come back every semester to take the exams! ”
“……”
Professor Liu felt that he had persuaded him for a long time and was lonely.
If only it had been before, a sentence of "you are still a minor, and you are not up to the age standard" could have rejected her application.
But now there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt, and there is an urgent need for talents from all walks of life, and minors with special talents are allowed to go to work.
Knowing that Xu Yin wanted to work on the ground, Ning Jin didn't say a word, and ran to Professor Liu to sign up to go to the ground.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi were embarrassed.
With their learning ability, I am afraid that self-study will not be able to pass the final academic test, and if they can't pass, they will have to go back and reread, what a shame!
In addition, if you go to work on the ground, you can't play with other friends.
Oops, it's tangled!
The two children were worried for a while, but they didn't resist the temptation to see Lao Bai, and they also went to Professor Liu to sign up.
Prof. Liu: "......"
Professor Hong couldn't hide his envy and jealousy: "Lao Liu, are you showing me with a straight face?" I don't have a single person who has signed up, and you have already completed four indicators. Xu Yin's four children, I think it is really an angel reincarnation. Isn't your stinky face dissatisfied with them? That's for me! ”
“…… Think beautifully! ”
"Humph!"
A week later, the surface cultivation team was assembled, and under the leadership of Professor Liu, they set off for the surface with luggage and ice packs.
Originally, the site of the central city was located on the highest mountain, and the entrance and exit were originally planned to be at the top of the mountain, but later due to the travel problems after the flood waters receded, the entrance was chosen at the foot of the mountain with a gentle slope.
However, it is really a little far from the farmland, and if you go and return on the same day, the time is basically wasted on the road, and the number of high-temperature resistant cars is limited, and other tasks have to be arranged, so the cultivation team is arranged to camp at the old base.
The old base is good, close to the welfare home!
As soon as the four children got into the car, they couldn't help exchanging glances and snickering, and their eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
I'll be able to see them soon!
The camp is located in the old base, and the test field is of course best chosen nearby.
It just so happened that there was a piece of land in the east of the welfare home, which used to be agricultural land, and then turned into construction land, and not long before the extreme cold came, it was just photographed by a real estate company to build a villa area, and now, of course, it is classified as state-owned agricultural land.
The test field is here, and it is simply too friendly to Xu Yin and the others.
However, the temperature was really too high, even if he was carrying an ice pack, he was sweating hot, so Professor Liu called everyone to a meeting and decided to start work in the evening, and now he is free to move around and adapt to the working environment that is completely different from the dungeon.
The four children said hello to Professor Liu and went back to the welfare home together.
