Chapter 143 I feed you?
"Xiaolu, you are doing great!"
Wang Jinglian wiped the sweat from her forehead while leaning on a shovel, and turned around to see that Lu Youyou had not fallen behind at all.
People can't help but judge people by their appearance. Lu Youyou looks far from the "working people". Wang Jinglian didn't originally regard her as the main force in digging and was prepared to lend her a hand.
Lu Youyou smiled on the surface but felt bitter in her heart. She shoveled the yard at home for three consecutive days and plowed the entire yard before it "appeared" to be effortless.
But it was just an "appearance". Even with the protection of gloves, her palms still hurt.
"Sister-in-law, please stop laughing at me. I am just a show-off. How can I be so pretentious?"
Lu Youyou could even accurately predict that in a quarter of an hour, her arms would start to hurt, and in half an hour she would not be able to continue digging even with gloves.
Wang Jinglian smiled and said, "We are not going to open up the mountains to build roads. We are just digging some soil to grow vegetables. It doesn't matter what kind of rack it is, as long as it is enough."
Looking at the hill-like pile of soil, Lu Youyou smiled bitterly: "I hope the seedlings can grow better, otherwise it will be a shame for our efforts."
Although she had never farmed, she had watched a few agricultural programs in her previous life, and her impression was that the soil suitable for growing vegetables did not seem to look like this.
"Sister-in-law, is the soil in the vegetable fields on the island also like this?"
Wang Jinglian's face showed some worry. "Yes, this is the best. Logically speaking, in the climate of Dongzhou Island, you can get a harvest just by sowing seeds. Unfortunately, the soil is not good. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to transport food and drink here from land."
A sister-in-law from the Northeast had a bitter face while digging: "There is no such poor land in my family. If my family knew that I was digging this kind of soil to grow vegetables, they would definitely think I was seriously ill!"
“Who says it’s not?”
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. It is better to have vegetables that do not grow well than to have no vegetables to eat. We eat potatoes for every meal at home. When children hear that they have to eat, they run away faster than rabbits."
After listening to this, Lu Youyou suddenly lost hope for her own small vegetable garden. The hardware was not good and the software was also half-baked. Could she really grow anything?
Which vegetables are adapted to survive in saline-alkali land?
There is no way to improve the varieties for the time being. I will go back and look for books on this subject.
A group of people are digging enthusiastically. It concerns three meals a day. Who dares to relax?
Lu Youyou estimated that he could fill three large flower pots, so he stopped decisively.
I found a random rock to sit on. Except for my legs which were fine, almost every muscle in my upper body was crying.
Now, I won’t dream about parameters and materials tonight, and I can completely relax my mind. The only thing is that the price is too high.
On the way back, Lu Youyou did not try to push the cart. Her arms were shaking and she certainly could not hold the cart. After arriving home, it was Wang Jinglian who helped her shovel the soil into the pots.
"Xiaolu, don't lift heavy objects these days. Leave the planting and watering of the vegetables to Captain Gu." Wang Jinglian joked.
Lu Youyou smiled and nodded. This was true. Men should use it when necessary.
"Then I'll go first, you have a good rest."
"Sister-in-law, take care."
He washed his hands tremblingly, changed his clothes with gritted teeth, and threw himself on the bed, unable to even pull up the quilt. He swarmed into the quilt, and lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread, sighing, not sure whether it was in pain or relief.
When you are extremely tired, you fall asleep instantly, just like you have been given anesthesia. You are awake one second and your brain is not working the next.
When Gu Qingye came back, he saw that the three flower pots in the house were all full. Seeing Lu Youyou sleeping soundly, he felt that he had done all the farm work.
There was a pot of cabbage, a pot of tomatoes, and a pot of cucumbers. There was some soil left in the corner, where I planted celery and peppers. I also planted onions, ginger, and garlic in the corners.
After finishing all these, Gu Qingye quickly prepared dinner and then went into the house to call people.
Lu Youyou, who was exhausted, automatically blocked out the outside sounds and received no response after being called several times.
With no other options, he could only turn the person over manually and pick him up to lean against himself.
"Youyou, get up and eat."
"long?"
Lu Youyou finally woke up, but had no intention of opening her eyes. With someone serving as her backrest, she completely relaxed and didn't use any strength at all.
"I want to sleep."
"Eat first and then sleep."
"tired."
"Even if you are tired, you still have to eat."
"I can't lift my arms, my hands hurt, my waist hurts, my neck hurts, and my back hurts."
He said a lot of things like reading out the names of dishes, and Lu Youyou moved a little and then immediately collapsed. My goodness, everything below the head and above the thighs was not his own!
Regret, regret it very much, she really is only fit to enjoy a peaceful life.
Isn’t mental work fun? Why do you have to torture yourself?
Now only her facial muscles could move freely. She squinted her eyes and pursed her lips, and her pitiful voice went straight into Gu Qingye's heart.
"I am paralyzed..."
The low laughter reached Lu Youyou's ears, and the vibration of her chest spread throughout her body.
"I feed you?"
Lu Youyou is so shameful. She is in her sixties and still wants others to feed her. Just knock her out!
She wanted to shake her head, but Gu Qingye stretched out his index finger to her hand and said, "Try to see if you can hold it tight."
Her arms felt like they weighed a ton, and it took her a long time to lift them a little bit. Her handshake was like that of a prosthesis, or even worse, because she couldn't make a fist at all.
The damn excessive exercise and the damn muscle strain made her half disabled!
Gu Qingye kept smiling. He put a pillow on the head of the bed and helped her lean back: "I'll give you a massage after you finish eating."
Lu Youyou didn't want to open her eyes, as if that would not be embarrassing.
Gu Qingye had just sat down on the bed with the bowl in her hand when she heard several gurgling sounds. Good, very good, her damn stomach didn't let her go either!
Gu Qingye tried to flatten the corners of his mouth and scooped a spoonful of cold cucumber salad: "Youyou, open your mouth."
That’s it, no more struggling. Lu Youyou focused her attention on the fan. As long as she didn’t look at the person in front of her, she could pretend that the person in front of her was a robot.
But you know what, apart from the psychological shame, the feeling of having food served is actually quite good.
Gu Qingye understood her taste completely and scooped just the right amount each time. Not only did it not spill, it didn't even stain the area around her lips.
Miss Dumb couldn't help but ask: "How come you are so skilled?"
"Your hands will become steadier as you practice more." Gu Qingye fed her another spoonful of minced meat and tofu.
Lu Youyou didn't even bother to chew and swallowed it directly: "Who are you practicing with?"
"I've practiced reloading and throwing tens of thousands of times. When it comes to a close-range fixed target like feeding, the chance of error is only 0.0000000000001%."
What a cold joke, what a cold mouth!
Lu Youyou couldn't believe it!
Gu Qingye couldn't help laughing when he saw her: "Would you like some soup? I made tomato and egg soup today."
Lu Youyou nodded blankly, and in between blushing, he wondered whether liquid throwing could be just as accurate.
