Xu Qing goes outside to play with her son. She puts most of the warm water in the bath bucket and lets hui'er play in it.
It's hot and she doesn't want to do anything. Xu Qing slumps in her chair and watches hui'er play with water. She doesn't miss the air conditioning. Her space is cooler than the air conditioning room, but she can't get in.
A few days ago, when it was too hot, she asked Li Changting if she wanted to bring hui'er into the space.
She still remembers that Li Changting's expression became dignified and tangled for a moment, and finally shook his head seriously to her and said, "No."
Xu Qing didn't quite understand it at that time. Later, he thought that Li Changting was probably protecting her.
Hui'er is small now. When he grows up and realizes what a treasure space is, who can guarantee that he won't have any crooked thoughts?
In this way, Xu Qing also gives up letting hui'er know that she has space. It's not that she doesn't believe in hui'er, but that she can't afford to gamble. After all, even Li Changting, a father, doesn't dare to gamble.
Xu Qingre is wilting.
The animals in the pigsty are also drooping. At noon, the four piglets are still hot. Xu Qing takes two buckets of cold water and pours it into the trough. The piglets happily roll in it.
The rabbits and chickens in the fence beside are also listless. Now there is no grass to eat outside. Xu Qing simply put these rabbits into the space.
If the rabbit doesn't make a noise, the chicken won't make it to Li Changting to have a rest.
The four lambs that Xu Qing loved most were put into the space when the weather was hot. At first, the lambs were a little uneasy. Now they eat and sleep in the fence. The days are pleasant. They only bleat when they see people in the past, and they are not noisy.
The grass in the fence is growing wildly because of the manure of poultry.
It's very convenient for grazing animals to raise. Just give a piece of grassland. There's no need to feed or clean it up. The space can discharge sewage and exhaust automatically. There's no need to clean the pipe at all.
She thought that she would raise two cows in the second half of the year. If only she could get them!
"Ah Qing, are you at home?" Li Jinmei's voice came from outside the courtyard.
Xu Qing answered and came out of the pig shed to open the door.
"Sister, why did you come here at this time?" Xu Qing introduced people into the house and poured her a bowl of herbal tea.
Li Jinmei took off her straw hat and poured down a bowl of herbal tea. Then she relaxed her breath and said, "when your brother-in-law came back from putting water in the field, he said he was dizzy and wanted to vomit. I guess he may have heatstroke. He wants to ask you for some agastache, licorice and perilla leaves."
The water in the field evaporates quickly when exposed to the sun. As soon as the rice dries up, the villagers keep an eye on it. Once they find that the water level in the field drops too much, they have to divert water to make up for it.
"Oh, good." Xu Qing went to the house to get the herbs, packed some more, and came back to ask Li Jinmei, "is the herbal tea enough to drink?"
"That's enough, thanks to so many herbs." Li Jinmei said with a smile. She glanced at the room and saw that hui'er was sleeping on the Kang covered with a small dress. She asked, "where's the pavilion?"
"Sleeping." Xu Qingdao.
Thinking she was sleeping in another room, Li Jinmei took the medicine and said, "I'll go back first."
Seeing off Li Jinmei, Xu Qing yawned, and she wanted to take a nap.
After the sun set, the village seemed to wake up. Xu Qing went to add water to the pigsty, and saw that the villagers in the valley came out with guys to work in the fields.
In the evening, Xu Qing cooked three fresh noodles and laid several poached eggs. Li Changting's fever had subsided and he ate two big bowls with a good appetite.
The next day, before dawn, Xu Qing woke up. She came out and found that many villagers in the valley were busy working. Everyone finished the day's work quickly before the sun came out.
Xu Qing went to Li Jinmei's house and was relieved to learn that Cao Laoliu had taken the medicine.
However, Li Jinmei talked about one thing that made Xu Qing a little wary.
"Uncle Li, do you remember the one who rented your two Mu field?"
"Well." Xu Qing nodded.
"One of his little grandsons died last night. It is said that he ran to catch river shrimp with his neighbor's children in the middle of the day. When he came back, his whole body was red, and adults didn't take it seriously. As a result, he burned to death."
Xu Qing
"That child is only eight years old. I saw him a few days ago. He is as thin as a monkey. Only his stomach is bulging like a ball. Maybe he is greedy for meat before he goes to catch river shrimp."
It's hot. Every family is short of meat. It's very good to eat eggs.
Xu Qing thought that she couldn't finish all her eggs at home. The six hens outside had just grown up, and now they can provide her with three or four eggs every day.
After she went back, she counted 20 eggs from the basket and asked Li Jinmei to send them to Uncle Li's house. She remembered that Uncle Li had several grandchildren.
After a two-day rest, Li Changting was in great spirits.
Before Cao Laoliu went to check the water in the field, he would fill Li Changting's field by the way every time.
Since Cao Laoliu suffered from heatstroke twice, Li Changting has taken care of the daily water supplement, went out to check it sooner or later, and came round with Cao Laoliu.Fortunately, the weather was not hot for a long time. A month later, the temperature at night dropped significantly. Sleeping on the Kang would not wake up in the middle of the night. Half a month later, with bursts of heavy rain, the weather suddenly became cool.
Xu Qing knows that autumn is coming.
When the weather became cool, Xu Qing began to clean up the vegetable garden. To her surprise, very few of them died of drying. Although most of them were so withered that they even lost all their leaves, after several heavy rains, they tenaciously grew tender leaves.
Don't be too lucky compared with other people's.
Xu Qing attributed all this to Lingquan water.
In a few days, the vegetable field is already full of fruits, and it can sell vegetables to make money again.
Li Changting also bought a lot of green bricks and mortar from the town. Instead of sending them directly to the village, he sent them to a hill not far from the village. The brick seller only thought that the guests wanted to build a house here.
The villagers will think that Li Changting is going to build a new house. It's time to be jealous.
When Li Changting bought all the materials, he took Xu Qing and asked her to put everything in the space.
In modern times, Xu Qing did not dare to use space in the open air so blatantly. When he was swept by a satellite, everything was exposed.
It cost a lot of money to buy all these materials. It's a huge expense. My family can't afford to have no income all the time. Seeing that the weather is suitable, Xu Qing finally decided to start making cakes and sell them.
For the time being, she has no money to shop in the town, and she doesn't plan to move to the town so soon. After all, she still has to work for Li Changting.
She wants to try to sell it to restaurants. Later, she will take some orders and make some exquisite cakes as luxury goods.
Thinking of silver, Xu Qing is full of energy. Even Li Changting doesn't like to run into the mountains. Instead, he studies the Qin's wine classic.
