Chapter 467 Watering Issues During Grouting Period
"Why, Lao Shen?"
Chen Yanming chuckled, "No reason, aren't we both rich and powerful?"
Zhang Heping was a little unconvinced, but Ji Kangyong didn't care much, because one tenth of the food was really not a big deal for them.
After listening to the argument, Li Zhaozhao smiled and explained, "Old Shen is in the guard team, so he should be able to eat in the cafeteria. So, by comparison, he is really the richest among us."
"Aren't you?" Zhang Heping asked back.
Li Zhaozhao choked and stammered, "I, I can just barely make it. But my situation is different from yours, I have to support my family! Not only do I have my father, mother, and sister, but I also have my grandparents, my uncles, my aunts, and..."
"Come on, are you trying to show off how many relatives you have?" Zhang Heping rolled his eyes. "I know your Li family is huge, but they all have land. Why would they need to use the produce from your land?"
Li Zhaozhao touched his nose and said, "Hehe, I was exaggerating a bit. But seriously, with more relatives, there are more things to consider. The food should be stored well, in case someone encounters a disaster and has nothing to eat."
Ji Kangyong also nodded, "That's right."
In the puzzled eyes of the crowd, he explained: "Haven't you noticed that it hasn't rained recently? The wheat on Qingning Mountain, except for my family, the security team, and a few other families who watered diligently, the remaining leaves are more or less withered and yellow.
Now is the grain filling period. If we don’t take good care of it, it may lead to empty ears with barren grains or underdeveloped grains. If everyone doesn’t pay attention, I’m afraid they won’t be able to harvest much grain in the end.”
"Is it that serious?" Li Zhaozhao exclaimed. Although he was also dealing with land in the labor team, he was in charge of medicinal herbs and was not very proficient in food crops.
Shen Yanming nodded, "Indeed, the sunshine and rain during the grain filling period will directly affect the yield."
"Then I have to go back and tell my parents to water the fields quickly." Li Zhaozhao said, slapping his thigh.
“Well, but be careful to use the right amount. Watering too much will cause the wheat to fall over, and you can’t water it during the high temperatures at noon,” Shen Yanming reminded.
Li Zhaozhao nodded, "I understand!"
Zhang Heping listened to everyone chatting and felt like he really didn't understand anything. He poked the bowl with his chopsticks and felt that the rice didn't smell good anymore.
After hearing the sound, Ji Kangyong tapped his hand with chopsticks and scolded him, "Eat well. Don't waste food if you don't want to eat it."
Zhang Heping felt pained and looked at everyone aggrievedly, but still responded obediently: "Oh!"
Shen Yanming could probably guess what he was thinking. He was afraid that this guy was worried about being excluded by everyone, so he took the opportunity to seek a sense of existence.
He smiled and said, "See? If you don't work hard, you will really be eliminated. Let's see if you dare not exercise well in the future."
Li Zhaozhao was also trying to hold back his laughter. "Yes, our labor team is carrying out various survival skills courses. Those courses are recorded and put online. If you have time, you can learn them. They are quite useful."
Then he glanced at Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong, and added: "Of course, it would be better if you can improve your martial arts skills. I know that many people don't have the opportunity to learn martial arts, but you do. With two big mountains behind you, can't you learn some moves from them?"
Zhang Heping glared at Li Zhaozhao, then nodded unwillingly, "I know, I've been taught a lesson by them today. But what about you? Have you started practicing too?"
Li Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course, our labor team has hired the best coach from the guard team to teach us. After half a year of study, I can now at least beat two people at once, and it doesn't take much effort."
Zhang Heping was filled with envy after hearing this. He opened his mouth wide and confirmed again and again: "You didn't lie to me?"
Li Zhaozhao rolled his eyes, "Is there any benefit in lying to you?"
"Fuck, I've really become the weakest weakling, really want to die!" Zhang Heping was so angry that he hugged Li Zhaozhao without thinking, and then they tore each other apart. Of course, they didn't fight hard.
Shen Yanming's eyes flashed. If Li Zhaozhao hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that even the labor team was preparing in advance.
The few of them laughed and joked and had a pleasant afternoon.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Zhaozhao, Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong all stood up and said goodbye.
Shen Yanming did not try to persuade them to stay, and directly divided the fruits in the two boxes among the three of them. After they left, he washed the dishes, wiped the table, and mopped the floor.
Bi Qiaoan was a little sleepy because she had been chatting with everyone for the whole afternoon. When Shen Yanming was cleaning the house, she returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, and fell asleep soon.
Comrade Lao Shen finished cleaning and looked at his wife who was sleeping like a pig. He smiled helplessly, then opened the wardrobe, took out a summer quilt and a mattress, folded them, wrapped them in an old bed sheet, and took them to the parking lot downstairs.
After returning, Comrade Lao Shen went to the vegetable room again and took a look at the several pots of vegetables that had not been taken care of for a long time.
Seeing that they were either wilting or drying up, he could only resign himself to his fate and watered them all.
After thinking about it, he put the dead ones into the space and put the green ones in the car, ready to take them back to the guard team.
The reason I did this was because I realized that I had been thinking in the wrong direction before.
He originally planned to return to Qingyu Community on weekends, and when he returned to the guard team, he would bring some vegetables for the week.
But, whose vegetables can survive a week of drought in the hot summer without anyone taking care of them?
Maybe it can be done by making some watering tools, but is it really necessary?
Therefore, it is better to take the flower pot back to the guard team and take good care of it. Even if the dormitory is small, isn't there still an empty bedroom?
It’s not a problem to put a few pots of vegetables in that empty bedroom or balcony.
After all, they are just decorations, and we don't ask them to bear many fruits or grow many leaves.
In this way, Shen Yanming ran up and down two or three times until the trunk and the back seat were full, and then he returned to the 16th floor.
He leaned back on the sofa, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, then held half a watermelon between his legs, a spoon in his left hand and a cell phone in his right hand.
Sometimes he would scoop some melon pulp into his mouth, and sometimes he would use his phone to edit a few messages.
As for what to edit, it is nothing more than to remind everyone to pay attention to the issue of watering during the wheat filling period.
Because he is also a dabbler, he finds relevant articles on professional websites, adds his own understanding, and then forwards them.
Of course, we are still as cautious as ever. Comrade Lao Shen reminded us in bold capital letters: "For reference only, no responsibility is assumed."
Then I sent this article to Li Zhaozhao and Ke Wenpei as a theoretical support to them.
