Chapter 60: Digging the Turf
Closing the ancient book, Shen Chi carefully put it into the box, and only then did he truly understand the true preciousness of this book.
Shen Chi's knowledge points are counted in the Olympiad competition, and the usual brushing is already 1.4 million, just enough to upgrade to the fourth level, Shen Chi quietly raised the level to level 36, and the eight talent points were added to the four talents of life, intelligence, spirit and physique on average.
The sound of TV dramas playing in the hall and the laughter and discussion of adults came from time to time, and Shen Fang didn't let her watch TV because of this test, so she rushed back to the room to study.
Shen Chi didn't know what state his sister was in now, but Sun Tao's mind was quite firm at a young age, and he was doing exercises seriously at this time, and the voices outside didn't interfere with him at all.
Shen Chi leaned over and glanced at his exercise book and said, "Haven't you finished the question?" ”
"I can't do this, you can tell me about it." Sun Tao asked Shen Chi.
It is a practical problem to find the distance between two places, Shen Chi looked at the problem and explained: "It is known that A is three meters faster than B per minute, and B has walked such a long distance in three minutes, so B's speed is like this......
After Shen Chi, Sun Tao immediately understood, and quickly solved the problem. Shen Chi read the book again, brushed up on the knowledge points, and rested on time at half past ten.
Sun Tao couldn't sleep Shen Chi didn't know, anyway, he ran the internal breathing technique by himself, and soon fell asleep.
After the sting, everything recovered, and this season was also the time to plant early rice, Shen Chi couldn't help his parents plant the fields like a double rush because he had to go to school, so he could only use the Sunday rest to help.
Shen Chi's family did not have much land at the beginning, only three acres of land, and Shen Changlin was busy for a week before planting all the early rice.
When the vegetables in the garden came up, he and Gui Shuzhen started selling vegetables together.
Occasionally, I will bring some eggs or local chickens to the county seat.
The chickens and vegetables he sells are all nourished by Shen Chi quietly with the growth technique and the essence of herbs and trees, and the taste is far from being comparable to ordinary vegetables, although most of the things at this time are still green food, and people do not have the concept of health preservation, but Shen Changlin's things are compared with others, and good and bad people can still taste them.
After a long time, Shen Changlin slowly had his own repeat customers in the county wholesale market, and some people began to ask if he didn't go for a few days, and the business slowly opened up.
As the weather gets warmer, the school wants to spread a lawn on the playground, and there is no special turf to sell at this time, so the school calls on the fifth and sixth grade students to bring their own shovels to the field to dig.
Thinking about it, digging turf is a kind of manual work that only senior students can do, and the principal calculated the size of the playground to be paved and divided it into four classes in the fifth and sixth grades.
Everyone went to class in the morning and went to the field to dig turf in the afternoon, and the students cheered when they heard that they could not go to class.
Shen Chi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, everyone doesn't like to go to class now, but he doesn't know how happy it is to be able to attend classes in school carefree after many years.
Everyone works in pairs and can be combined freely. Shen Chi is naturally in a group with Sun Tao.
When he came home in the evening, Shen Chi asked his father, "Dad, do you have time tomorrow?" ”
Shen Changlin: "There is no tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, do you have anything?" ”
Shen Chi: "The school arranges for us to dig the lawn in the senior grades, if you have time tomorrow, we will go to a farther place to dig more, and you will pick us up in the afternoon and help us mop down the turf." ”
Shen Changlin: "The day after tomorrow, if the vegetables in the garden are not sold tomorrow, they will be elders, and I will drag them for you the day after tomorrow." ”
"Okay, that's it, I'll go talk to our head teacher tomorrow, and everyone will gather and dig more." After Shen Chi finished speaking, he went back to the room with Sun Tao to study.
The next morning, classes were held as usual, and in the afternoon, everyone brought shovels and came to the school early, watching the students chatting enthusiastically, obviously digging turf as a spring outing.
Teacher Wang came after a while, asked Liu Peng and Shen Chi to count the number of people, and seeing that the whole class had arrived, Teacher Wang took the students in his class to set off first.
Mr. Wang was just assigned, and he was not familiar with the surrounding environment, so he asked everyone: "Which of you knows more about the surroundings, come out and tell me where the grass is suitable for lawn?" ”
The grass for lawn should not grow too tall, it is better to grow close to the ground. These children all grew up in rural areas, and many of them immediately talked about five or six places.
"Teacher, the best place is the mouth of the fork lake, I go there every time I have a holiday, the grass there is not high, it is connected, it is the most suitable for lawn, but it is a little far." Sun Kai said.
"It's far from okay, I told me Dad, he opened his hand to help us pull." Shen Chi said to Teacher Wang.
"Okay, let's go to the mouth of the fork lake." Teacher Wang said to the students.
The students cheered and walked towards the mouth of the fork lake, all of them were full of excitement along the way, but as they walked, everyone began to become more excited, and they set off at one o'clock, which had not yet arrived after walking for more than an hour.
Teacher Wang couldn't help but ask Sun Kai, "Sun Kai, how far is it?" ”
"It's almost there."
In Sun Kai's words of "almost there", everyone walked for nearly an hour before arriving.
Seeing that it was three o'clock, Mr. Wang hurriedly urged the students to dig quickly.
Fortunately, there was no one here, only their classmates from Class 5 (2).
The others worked in pairs, pushing their shovels diagonally into the dirt with their feet, shoveling off the roots underneath, and then pulling out the shovels and reorienting them in a different direction along the same place where they had been shoveled, and in a short time a strange-shaped piece of turf was dug out of the ground.
But Sun Tao was too young to help much, so Shen Chi simply let him watch from the sidelines, and he shoveled alone.
Shen Chi's strength has now reached three hundred, which is equivalent to the strength of an adult man, and it is not a problem to shovel this small turf.
Teacher Wang found a soil pit and asked all the turf dug by the students to hide in the pit, planning to let Shen Chi and his father pull it back tomorrow.
Everyone dug until five o'clock, and there were still more than two hours to go back, so Mr. Wang asked everyone to set off home.
Before leaving, I was worried about finding some thatch and branches, and covered the dug turf.
It was more than two hours away, and when he was separated from Mr. Wang, he asked the students to bring shovels tomorrow morning, and at noon he invited everyone to eat in the school cafeteria, in order to set off early.
The classmates also responded happily, it was already dark when Shen Chi arrived home, and his grandmother had also prepared dinner, so she was waiting for him.
After dinner, Shen Chi and Sun Tao washed back to the room to read the book, and helped Sun Tao consolidate the lessons they had learned, then took a bath and went to bed early.
