Chapter 198 Preliminary Attempts

After everyone was dressed, it got even hotter.

Sunscreen clothing was thin and slim-fitting. When they were put on, they stuck to the skin, and there was a stuffy feeling that made it hard to breathe.

Pei Yu took out a few buckets from the space, "Each person should carry two buckets, Shushu... Shushu should carry a basin."

Wen Shu was definitely unable to carry two buckets full of mud.

Wen Shu took the wash basin and held it in her arms, "Okay."

It was really hot outside, so Xiao Pingguo was not taken out, but locked in a cage with a circle of ice cubes around the cage and a special fan blowing at her.

They carried the empty buckets and walked towards the fields. As soon as they walked out of the main hall, waves of heat came from outside. It is no exaggeration to say that they were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked in a short while.

Even if they stood in the shade, the sunlight was so strong that they had to squint their eyes to feel comfortable.

Wen Shu put her hands in front of her eyes to block out the bright light. "When will it rain?"

Pei Yu opened his umbrella, held two empty buckets in one hand, and picked her up. "If the weather is normal, it will rain after such a hot day for a while. If it is abnormal, the hot weather may last for several months."

Wen Shu didn't want him to hold her. "It's so hot, don't hold me."

Pei Yu had already walked steadily towards the gate of the yard with her in his arms. "If you don't hold me, this umbrella can't cover you."

The height difference between the two was a bit big.

Xiao Ye and Gu Jinxing both wore sunscreen, so they were too lazy to open the umbrella and followed Pei Yu directly with buckets.

They had long legs and soon reached the edge of the field.

Pei Yu put Wen Shu down, handed her a cooking spatula, and asked her to squat and dig the mud.

Pei Yu, "You stand this umbrella here, and Shushu will move under the umbrella, understand?"

The shadow of the umbrella was so small, and she had to squat under the umbrella to avoid being exposed to the sun.

Wen Shu wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose and said, "I understand."

Pei Yu pressed the handle of the umbrella with a stone, put a bottle of ice water under the umbrella for her, and then watched her drink the Huoxiang Zhengqi water before leaving with peace of mind.

Compared with the treatment of Wen Shu, the men were much more casual.

Anyway, they were all wearing clothes and hats, so as long as they were not hurt by the sun, they could do whatever they wanted.

When Xiao Ye was digging, he was like an ox, full of strength, burying his head and digging with the shovel, dust flying everywhere.

He moved quickly and was used to doing hard work, so he soon filled a bucket with soil, and used the shovel to press the soil in the bucket tightly.

Wen Shu looked up and saw him. He had already dug a bucket of soil, but her own basin was not full yet, so she stopped playing and digging, and tried to catch up with Xiao Ye's work speed. She

thought she only had a small basin, so she could take her time, but she didn't expect everyone to work so fast.

The sun was really strong, and they only stayed in this field for about ten minutes before they hurried back to their residence with the bucket.

On the way back, everyone was carrying two buckets of soil, so they had no hands to play umbrella for Wen Shu.

Wen Shu put the umbrella in her pocket, then adjusted her hat, followed Pei Yu with the basin.

Pei Yu, "Do you want to put the basin on my bucket, so that Shu Shu can play umbrella."

Wen Shu shook her head, "The distance is not far, and the soil is not heavy."

Pei Yu smiled and praised her, "Our Shu Shu is great."

Wen Shu didn't think this was a good thing at first, thinking that it was a compliment to a child, but after hearing it many times, she just let it go. Anyway, in Pei Yu's eyes, her image is sometimes still a little cat.

Pei Yu raised his head and squinted to look at the direction of the sun, then walked to the other side to block most of the sunlight for Wen Shu.

They hurried back to the yard and Gu Jinxing went to open the door. The ice cubes in the living room had not melted completely yet, and a cool breeze blew in.

Although it was not cool enough, they had just come back from outside, and this little coolness was enough to relieve their chill.

Pei Yu, "Change your shoes first, take off your sunscreen and sun hat, and then carry this dirt to the fourth floor terrace."

Xiao Ye, "Okay."

Everyone was sweating profusely, and Pei Yu wiped Wen Shu's sweat with a towel.

When Pei Yu bent down to wipe the sweat off her face, the sweat from the tip of her nose slid down and dripped onto the ground. The sweat from the corners of her forehead also flowed down along her cheeks and gathered at her chin, and was about to drip onto the ground again.

Wen Shu blinked and reached out to wipe the sweat off his chin with the back of her hand, "You sweat a lot, and your face is red."

Pei Yu looked up and smiled at her, "My problem is nothing, your face and neck are all red, are you sunburned? Does it hurt?"

Wen Shu shook her head and took the towel from his hand, "Squat down and I'll wipe it for you."

Pei Yu raised his eyebrows and bent down, "Okay, thank you Shushu."

Wen Shu, "You're welcome!"

While the two of them were moaning, Gu Jinxing and Xiao Ye had already gone up to the rooftop with buckets.

Pei Yu and Wen Shu wiped each other's sweat before they started to go upstairs.

The soil, water, and seeds are all ready.

Next, we need to prepare some containers for planting plants.

Pei Yu took out the storage boxes in the space, as well as some foam boxes and foam lids that were delivered when he bought seafood, and some other containers.

Gu Jinxing, "It seems that pumpkin seeds need to be soaked in water overnight, and

then they can be put into the soil after they germinate." Xiao Ye scratched his head, "Ah? Why is it not what I searched for here? What I searched for is to put it directly in a plastic bottle, put the seeds in the middle of the soil, and then water it every day, waiting for it to germinate and grow out of the soil..."

"We need to try both," Pei Yu dug the soil into a plastic cup and asked Wen Shu to add some water to make it moist and soft, "We can try both methods."

As soon as he said it, Xiao Ye and Gu Jinxing were each responsible for their own pumpkin seeds. Each of them had six seeds, and the remaining two seeds continued to be placed in the space. If both of them failed to germinate, these two pumpkin seeds would become precious.

Wen Shu also wanted to have her own seeds, and looked at Pei Yu eagerly, "What about me?"

"You..." Pei Yu thought for a while, and directly took a sweet potato from the space for her, "Shu Shu, just plant sweet potatoes. I remember that after the sweet potatoes germinate, new sweet potato seedlings will grow, which can be used for stir-frying, and the taste is okay."

Sweet potato seedlings are simpler and easier to grow.

Wen Shu held the small sweet potato and asked in confusion, "Just this one?"

Pei Yu showed her a planting post he found on the Internet, "One sweet potato is enough, and it doesn't need to be big. A small storage box is enough. Plant it shallowly in the soil, and don't cover the sweet potato completely. When it sprouts, it will grow into sweet potato seedlings, but there seems to be a limit to the number of sweet potato seedlings that can grow from a sweet potato."

Pei Yu, "You can plant a new sweet potato then. It's your first try, so you can try it casually."

Wen Shu, "Okay!"

Pei Yu's words just now basically explained how to do it, and Wen Shu remembered it, so she took a small storage box, dug soil into it, buried the sweet potato, watered it, and put it under the sun.

This is her first time to grow sweet potatoes!

Wen Shu thought about it and took a photo to record the situation.

In the future, she will take a photo every day to record the growth of the sweet potatoes.
