Chapter 439 Yushun
“Let me see, let me see...”
The internal space of the water tower is not small, but because there are many things hanging, only three people can enter at most. , upon hearing Wang Siyi's words, Ding Haidong, who had not come in from behind, shouted eagerly.
Seeing this, Chen Ling made way for him, and he also reached out and touched a sheep's hind leg.
When I touched it, I felt it was hard and cool, with a layer of ice scum like snow particles on top.
"Oh, the flowers are really frozen, is that an exaggeration? In this summer, how can the temperature inside the water tower be so low?"
"Well, yes, the temperature inside is so low. "
Chen Ling nodded: "I measured it with a thermometer two days ago. It was about 30 degrees outside, and only six or seven degrees inside the water tower. It was even lower in the morning and evening. We just wear single clothes in summer. Pants, if you stay here for a long time, you will get cold.
But it is good for storing meat. You will know after you try it at night. If you put it in the refrigerator, the fresh meat will not taste good when it is frozen. It’s okay to store it in this water tower for three or four days. It’s still like fresh meat when you take it out.”
“Good guy, let me tell you, this is much better than the refrigerator.”
Zhou Weijun smiled and said: "I just don't know if your water tower is like groundwater. It is cold in summer and warm in winter."
"Haha, I can't say for sure."
Chen Ling pointed to the southeast: "My fourth grandfather knew about my water tower some time ago, so he told me that before the steep slope in the village was leveled, there was a well on it, and the colder it got, the lower it went. Even in summer, they can still find ice.
They even ate ice cubes from the well several times when they were children. "
"Oh, there are so many strange things here, as expected. It is a treasure land that can produce thousand-year-old turtles.”
Everyone admired.
Wang Siyi asked: "Is the well still there now?"
"There should be still, but there is no water for a long time. I don't know who has arrived after the overall renovation of the village. "In the yard of the house."
Chen Ling thought for a while, and the old well might be near Ermao Donkey's house, next to the old livestock shed.
Then he said: "You can choose what you want to eat now. Beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and pork are all available."
With that said, he exited and let them go in to pick.
There is nothing interesting inside the water tower, but some people find it novel when they see it for the first time and it can also be used as a refrigerator.
Just look up, down, left, and right.
I also wanted to try climbing up the spiral ladder inside the water tower, but the ladder was not big and could only accommodate one person going up and down. There was also a lot of meat hanging next to it, so I didn’t rush up there.
But because the temperature was relatively low, several people couldn't bear to stay in the water tower for too long, so they quickly finished the selection.
"Oh, it's still warm outside..."
Ding Haidong came out carrying two legs of lamb: "Brother Ling, I think your farm is cooler than other places, and it's no worse than any summer resort. The scenery is better than that."
Wang Siyi also nodded: "Yeah, it's very cool, it's very comfortable to take a nap."
Hearing this, Zhou Weijun laughed: "That's right for you. The two realized it later, and the great writer Zhao Yubao knew that because their place was fun and cool, it was an excellent place to escape the heat in the hot summer, so they just built a house in the village and stayed there. "
"Oh my god, isn't it? Teacher Zhao Yubao is here too. It really scares me. Brother Ling, please tell me, is there anything else I don't know? Otherwise, I will always be surprised. It feels like I am like a fool who has never seen the world.”
"Hehe, there's a lot you don't know. Teacher Zhao also said that he would accept your brother Ling as his godson. I heard about this at the beginning of the year, but your brother Ling refused to agree."
" ...What? You didn’t agree to this, Brother Ling, you are so arrogant, I finally know what it means to be a real person without showing your face.”
Then, these men and women pestered Chen Ling to ask, and Chen Ling first talked to them. After making a few jokes, he later said that he actually only knew Zhao Yubao's son Zhao Dahai first. He had no idea about their family situation before, and it was all due to fate.
Even so, everyone admired and envied him very much.
Fortunately for Wang Siyi, Ding Haidong and others studied Zhao Yubao's articles in their textbooks when they were in school, and they all admired him.
Begged Chen Ling to take them to meet.
Chen Ling said it was a small problem. Zhao Yubao's family happened to be building a thatched house, and the festival was over tomorrow, so everyone could go over and help with some small work.
Hearing what Chen Ling said, the group of people were extremely happy.
After cleaning up, they marinated the meat to be grilled and tied it with bamboo skewers. They fed the horses and cows and had a great time. Later, they even wore straw hats and followed Wang Cunye out to let them go. A circle of sheep.
As for Zhou Weijun, he was very interested in the spring outside the water tower. He used a bucket to pick up some water and felt that there was a faint cold air. He took a sip in the summer and it was ice cold and very comfortable.
Seeing this, Chen Ling didn't care about them too much.
After having a delicious barbecue in the evening, they went to bed early after being tired from playing.
Chen Ling, his eldest brother-in-law and his second uncle-in-law sat under the grape arbor, drinking tea and enjoying the coolness, and discussed business matters.
Although there was no agreement on what to do in the end, Chen Ling's knowledge and knowledge made some of his ideas indeed relatively sound, which made the two brothers feel at ease.
The two sisters-in-law were also very happy when they found out.
In short, their whole family had a great time at Chen Ling's side during this year's Dragon Boat Festival.
Everyone is happy.
That’s right. In the few days starting from the Dragon Boat Festival, there will always be a little rain at night. This is not bad. The rainfall is very small. It only rains at night. The sun is still very strong during the day, which is not bad for wheat. Nothing in the way.
After the festival, the village began to harvest wheat one after another from the sixth day of May.
And due to the arrival of Wang Siyi and others, a considerable number of people who came to Chenwangzhuang were not in a hurry to go back after the festival.
For example, the two groups of reporters and some with their families became addicted to living here.
After learning that Chen Ling’s family does not prohibit outsiders from coming over to play.
I just come here every day, fish and catch shrimps, and pick peaches from the trees.
We also went to the villagers’ fields, melon fields and vegetable gardens to pick watermelons and vegetables.
After some people became more playful, they volunteered to take their children to guard the melon fields for the villagers at night. Some also helped drive donkey carts and ox carts during the day, and followed those who transported wheat. It was very lively and fun. .
Of course, some of these are paid for, such as melon fields and peach orchards, which are just like picking orchards. They can play and eat at the same time, and they can also get a sense of accomplishment from working and playing. They are very happy.
Of course I won’t be able to help harvest wheat, after all, I am helping with work.
In addition, there were also rumors about ancient tombs and other people who wanted to explore the mountain. Those reporters were among them, but they were all stopped.
In short, because of the money made, every household in the village was busy and happy during this year's wheat harvest. There were also some old people who were shouting songs while harvesting wheat, and their spirits were different.
As for the Chen Ling family, due to the instigation of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, they hurried back after harvesting the wheat for him, so they started harvesting the wheat on the sixth day of May.
Zhou Weijun and his gang, as well as Zhao Dahai and Shan Mao, all came to help.
Wang Siyi is really not Pan Jinlian.
After getting acquainted with Chen Ling's family, he quickly changed into Wang Susu's old clothes, put on a straw hat, and put a sweat towel around his neck. After letting Chen Ling open the tractor, he got on the driver's seat of the tractor and drove into the wheat field. , after they harvested the wheat and bundled it, they loaded it onto the tractor body.
While working, I learned to sing folk songs from Wang Cunye, which was very free and unrestrained.
Some men who came specifically to peek at Pan Jinlian were shocked. They stood on the edge of the wheat field, dumbfounded and silent for a long time, as if something was broken in their hearts.
Actually don't talk about them.
Even Wang Qingwen’s two sons and Zhao Dahai’s two sons were surprised. She said she didn't look like someone from Bay Island.
Wang Siyi raised her head proudly after hearing this and said that her hometown is from the mainland.
"Besides, my surname is Wang Li. We were a family five hundred years ago. Your village was still called Chenwangzhuang. In the future, when I make money, I will follow Teacher Zhao's example and build a house here. Hahaha.”
Ding Haidong held it in for a long time after hearing the words, and then he finally said: "Me too."
Everyone laughed and expressed their disgust.
In the past two days, everyone has seen that he is somewhat interested in Wang Siyi, but the latter is so careless that he doesn't seem to notice, which makes it difficult for him to reveal too much.
Looking at Wang Siyi's performance now, she is not in the mood to notice this at all.
Like Wang Zhenzhen, she just stared at which wheat fields there were rabbits and pheasants. Once she picked out the wheat fields, she jumped off the tractor and went crazy with Wang Zhenzhen and other children. Chase.
Of course, a woman like her, although she has a slightly tough personality, will definitely be called a tomboy in future generations, but in fact, she is still a fair-skinned, beautiful, delicate and frail woman, not as good as Wang Zhenzhen. A country girl with a strong seed coat.
That is, I am so excited when I don’t encounter this kind of chasing small animals on weekdays, and I don’t feel tired at all when I run.
But if she really chased them, with her lack of skill and speed, she wouldn't be able to catch them.
The final harvest of rabbits, pheasants, quails, etc. was all thanks to Wang Zhenzhen, Xiaodong and a group of dogs at home.
Even so, she found it very fun and asked Wang Zhenzhen to take her to play with her during the holidays.
……
As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers.
Not to mention how well Zhou Weijun and the others are doing farm work. If they can follow the wheat fields for two days, they are better than sitting around and not going to the fields. This year's wheat harvest, they and Zhao Dahai The two families really helped Chen Ling a lot.
Having fun while working, I finished harvesting the wheat in two days.
On the eighth day of May, Wang Qingwen and his family rushed back to Fenglei Town. Zhou Weijun and the others also wanted to leave the next day, but unfortunately, it started to rain heavily in the evening of that day.
Early the next morning, it was still raining heavily outside. Wang Cunye took steamed buns and salted duck eggs and watched the swallows flying in and out under the eaves of the living room. Seeing that the rain did not slow down, he couldn't help but sigh: "The weather is so good this year." It’s so smooth. When the wheat is ripe, it rains lightly at night. I wait for everyone to harvest the wheat, and then it rains completely. It’s not annoying at all. It’s really good.”
"Haha, what you said is true. If it rains when it shouldn't rain like in previous years, wouldn't it be in vain for Prince Turtle to come out? This year's weather shows that Prince Turtle is effective and bless everyone with good weather."< br>
Gao Xiulan held the bowl, gently sipped the vegetable porridge, and said.
In fact, she ignored the so-called Turtle Prince. What she said is very reasonable. For the common people, if it rains when it rains and does not delay the farming season, this is a good weather.
"Uncle Wang, aunt, morning."
At this time Wang Siyi came over holding an umbrella and said hello.
"Siyi, go get some food. It will cool down later."
Gao Xiulan has become accustomed to them these days saying hello to her in the morning and saw her coming downstairs. Come straight over here and remind her to have breakfast.
"There's no rush, Auntie. It's not even seven o'clock now. We have a late breakfast in the morning... I'll go outside first to see the little rabbit I caught. Brother Ling said rabbits are afraid of water, so don't get drowned."
Wang Siyi responded with a smile, held up an umbrella and walked out of the farm.
Ding Haidong had a lot of scenes, so they were in a hurry to leave. She had already finished filming, and the crew was not as interesting as here, so why would they be in a hurry to go back.
I just want to stay here, escape the summer heat leisurely, enjoy life unhurriedly, and have fun.
In the past two days, I followed Wang Zhenzhen to catch rabbits, chase pheasants, quails and so on. I caught a lot of gadgets, but it was very exciting.
I especially like little rabbits.
Watch it every day, thinking about feeding water and grass, never forgetting it for a moment.
That guy, if it weren't for her own home, he might have brought that litter of little rabbits into the room to raise.
I went to the livestock pen outside and looked at the little rabbit. There was nothing wrong with it.
Wang Siyi just came back, but after walking to the living room, she found Wang Zhenzhen playing with a rectangular iron box under the eaves outside the living room.
Looking carefully, it is a rusty household tool box, which is an iron box commonly used to store wrenches, pliers, hammers, etc., now covered with green and fresh leaves.
“What are you trying to do again, really?”
"Ah? It's Sister Siyi, you scared me."
As soon as Wang Zhenzhen looked up and saw that it was her new playmate, he picked up the box and showed it to her: "Look, this is what I raised "Wow, this is silkworm. Why didn't I see you take it out two days ago?" Wang Siyi took the iron box and asked with curiosity.
"I raised it at home in the village. Otherwise, there would be a lot of birds here on the farm, and Ruirui would always take the dog to pull things around. I wouldn't dare to let it go here."
< br>
Wang Zhenzhen pouted and said, then looked around: "Sister Siyi, have you seen my mother?"
"Ah? You and Uncle Wang were eating here just now, what happened?"
“My silkworms don’t like to eat anymore.”
The little girl said distressedly: “I have to compete with Xizi and Liu Nier to see who has the biggest and best silkworms. Winner If they eat it, all their silkworms will belong to me. If you don’t eat, you will lose.”
Wang Siyi was stunned when she heard this. How could she understand this?
Just as he was about to go and see if Gao Xiulan was in the kitchen, the old man should be washing dishes after dinner, when he saw Chen Ling coming down from the east upstairs.
Wang Zhenzhen immediately shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, come quickly, something bad has happened. My silkworms won't eat the leaves."
"...What are you shouting about? You are shouting so loudly so early in the morning. "What, I'm not deaf."
Chen Ling glared at her, this girl will be in fifth grade in the second half of the year, but she still hasn't made any progress at all. Can't live in peace.
However, after saying this to her, Chen Ling still walked quickly to take a look.
At this glance, the original twenty or thirty small silkworms have grown round and chubby.
Chen Ling exclaimed, picked up one and observed it carefully, "These silkworms grow so fast, they are about to spin silk."
He said to the two of them : "This means that they are about to spin cocoons and spin silk, so they are not so willing to eat. Find some wheat straw and make a silkworm hill."
"Wow, let me tell you, it turns out that the silkworms are about to spin silk. "
Wang Zhenzhen's eyes widened, he clenched his fists excitedly and shouted: "So, the silkworms I raise must be the fastest and best."
Then he jumped like a little pony and rushed into the rain: "I win again, I win again, I want to ride on Canshan Mountain."
Seeing this, Wang Siyi was not to be left behind, and hurriedly Holding an umbrella and catching up: "Zhenzhen, please slow down and wait for me."
"Sister Siyi, wait for me at home. I will go to the village to call Xizi and the others and bring over all their silkworms. Let’s ride up Canshan Mountain together.”
Wang Zhenzhen pulled a straw hat from the corridor and put it on his head, shouting without looking back.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the farm and ran outside the orchard.
