Chapter 178: Do to me what you did to Luo Feifei!
In the middle of the night, around three in the morning, a sudden rain accompanied by hail poured down, making the roof crackle.
Li Xiang was awakened and came out to check. He saw that the large terrace was covered with egg-sized lumps of ice.
Fortunately, his house is new and has a solid roof.
He looked into the distance and saw that the chicken coops and duck houses had been repaired and reinforced and would not collapse, but the tiles might be damaged. He would just replace them with new ones when the weather cleared up.
After last year’s extremely heavy snow, the houses in the village have basically been reinforced, so there is no need to worry too much.
The only worry is the crops in the fields.
But there is no way around it.
Good weather and good harvests depend on God, and it has been like this since ancient times. Even now with advanced technology, we can sometimes create artificial rainfall.
But artificial rainfall is sometimes inaccurate. For example, last year a local meteorological bureau made several jokes in a row, causing several neighboring provinces to tremble.
The first shot brought about an eight-force gale, which caused a pants-shaking crisis.
The crisis had just been resolved when the second salvo came, leading to the pants shaking crisis 2.0 in neighboring Sichuan Province.
They say things never happen more than three times. Well, the third time must be a success. As a result, the anti-aircraft gun went off and it snowed in September at 39 degrees. If you didn't know, you would have thought that a great injustice had occurred.
The sky cleared up, the snow stopped, and the weather bureau felt that it was all right again, so the fourth and fifth cannons were fired one after another! Then one cannon went to Sichuan Province, and the other brought an inhumane hail attack to Guizhou Province.
"Oh my god, this hailstorm, could it be the work of a weather bureau somewhere?"
Li Xiang was suspicious, but soon shook his head because it was only May and June and it would rain occasionally, so there was no need to create rain artificially.
The end of the world is approaching, and this kind of extreme weather will only become more and more frequent.
Li Xiang covered himself with the Black Mountain Black Armor and checked on the little animals. They were all fine. Then he flashed to the back of the mountain. Tuan Tuan and its mother were hiding in the bamboo shed that Li Xiang had built for them, full of curiosity.
This may be the first time that Tuantuan has seen hail at the turn of spring and summer. After all, his life experience is limited.
Tuantuan grabbed an egg-sized hailstone and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it until it was crunchy, like eating a fruit.
Seeing Li Xiang coming, Tuantuan's eyes lit up, and then he picked up a huge hailstone and handed it to Li Xiang: "Squeak, squeak~"
It seems to mean that it’s delicious, you should come and try it.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "I don't like to eat this." He touched its head, stuffed two spiritual fruits into it, and threw one to its mother.
The two giant pandas were originally tasting ice lumps. Now it is almost summer and the weather is so hot, eating ice cubes is refreshing, but no matter how refreshing it is, it is not as refreshing as the spiritual fruit, so the two giant pandas immediately threw away the ice cubes and started eating the spiritual fruit.
Tuantuan and its mother are national treasures and have now been "enrolled" with corresponding numbers and files. Therefore, relevant provincial departments and scientific research teams will come to check on them regularly to understand their living conditions and health status, and collect their feces for some testing.
Li Xiang naturally came to check almost every day so that any problems could be discovered in time.
He is not worried about Tuantuan, but he is afraid that his mother might get sick or something, so he will have to seek help from the provincial experts in time.
Seeing that they were fine, Li Xiang waved his hand and turned back.
Due to Tuantuan's special identity and large size, Li Xiang has temporarily not allowed it to participate in the Bloodstone Jungle Gathering every morning.
In the vegetable garden, many vegetables were damaged. Fortunately, the hail came and went quickly, but the heavy rain did not stop.
Grandma also got up and stared in the direction of the vegetable garden and the hail all over the ground in a daze.
"Grandma, it's okay. We can just plant new vegetables if the vegetables are damaged by the disaster. They are not worth much." Li Xiang stepped forward to comfort her.
Seeing her grandson's smile, the grandmother felt better and murmured, "I haven't seen hail this big in years. If it happened in broad daylight, someone would be killed if they were walking outside."
Li Xiang chatted with his grandmother for a while, then checked the house to make sure there were no leaks, and helped his grandmother back to her room to sleep.
If we move to the old house, it will definitely leak everywhere. Li Xiang remembers that when he was a child, it would rain heavily in the middle of the night and his parents would get up to fix the leaks everywhere, using all kinds of basins and buckets and placing them under the leaks.
Although it is still a tiled roof now, the roof under the glazed tiles is cast in cement, and an insulation layer is laid and waterproofing is done. The tiles may be damaged, but it will not leak easily again.
By daybreak, the rain had finally become lighter, only a drizzle, but soon it became heavier again.
Li Xiang watched the news. The hailstorm covered a large area, even the provincial capital. Many people's cars parked on the road had their windows broken.
Li Xiang lent his car to the three girls to drive home, so he asked in the group.
The three girls replied that they were safe and sound.
Yao Yao: "Brother, I parked under an old maple tree in front of my house. The tree was lush and leafy and blocked the hail. It was just that it was windy and rainy last night, and the car was full of fallen leaves and caterpillars."
Zhao Xueqing: "Brother, I built a carport specifically for your car, so it's very safe."
Lei Xiaohui: "I also built a carport, so my brother's car was saved."
Yao Yao: “…” She was quite angry, but was suppressed by Zhao Lucha. She thought to herself, you guys secretly built the carport without informing me, so I am the naive one.
"Brother, I can also build a carport." Yao Yao said.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter even if it gets smashed. Who can predict such a natural disaster?" Li Xiang lived in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in his previous life. He had no impression of such a short natural disaster as hail, and his grandmother had never told him about it.
In fact, there was hail in the previous life. Grandma's old house was leaking everywhere. She had to get up in the middle of the night to collect water. The vegetable garden was a mess, but she didn't tell her grandson because she was afraid that he would worry.
Li Xiang said in the group: "If there are people in your family who are seriously affected by the disaster, you don't have to come to work."
With the weather like today, I guess not many people will come to the scenic spot.
But after more than an hour, the three girls still came to work regardless of rain or shine.
The Chinese-style teahouse, Chinese-style pub, milk tea shop, and coffee shop, the girls have all come, and the security guards are also in place.
Li Xiang praised their professionalism.
These stores are equipped with microwave ovens, refrigerators and freezers. Employees bring their own meals and heat them up in the microwave at noon.
Since there was no business on rainy days, the girls started cleaning the store, wiping the countertops, tables, chairs, floors, and every corner, and polishing the equipment, tea sets, cups, etc. until they were shiny.
Lei Jiaming led the security guards to clean up the fallen leaves outside, clear the gutters, sewer pipes, and the accumulated water on the road.
As the village chief, Li Xiang went around the village and luckily, except for the damaged land, all houses were fine. Even the third mother-in-law's house was newly built after the heavy snow, so it could still withstand this minor disaster.
Some villagers knew that Li Xiang had built an oil-pressing workshop, so they asked him if he would take business. Li Xiang waved his hand generously and asked those who wanted to press oil to come over.
It's a rainy day and there's nothing to do. Besides, there are no tourists, so the loud noise from the pounding will not affect the tourists.
Li Xiang charged a certain processing fee, thirty yuan for one hundred kilograms of rapeseed, and the villagers accepted it.
After all, this is physical work, the kind that is extremely tiring. The villagers thought that Xiangya might not be able to work for a few days, so they had to start pressing oil early, so they sent rapeseed over one after another.
When Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui heard about it, they also came to help. They fetched mountain spring water from Li Xiang's backyard, washed their feet and helped to make the pancakes.
Li Xiang did this mainly for cultivation. His method was special, and the effect of cultivation was better when he was working.
It is also a benefit for the villagers. They don’t have to go so far to the town and can directly squeeze the oil in the village.
How much is the processing fee? Li Xiang actually doesn't care about it, but if he doesn't charge, it will cause some conflicts.
After the rapeseed was squeezed out in this village, people from other villages heard the news and started sending rapeseed here, but Li Xiang only worked for five or six days and then stopped.
Firstly, the weather cleared up and more tourists came. The sound of oil pressing was too loud, affecting the tourists' drinking of tea and coffee.
Secondly, his grandmother, Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, Lei Xiaohui and others all felt sorry for him and were afraid that he would hurt his body, so they suggested that he take it easy. Besides, he wouldn't make much money, so Li Xiang just ended it. It must be said that it felt good to have someone care about him.
In fact, Li Xiang's strength and energy are stronger than a tiger. After being squeezed and vented over the past few days, and integrating breathing techniques into physical labor, his spiritual power has become more powerful and his foundation has become more solid. He feels like he is about to break through. If he pushes hard, he has more than 95% chance of breaking through. However, Li Xiang still plans to suppress it and consolidate his strength.
The main reason was that he was upgrading too fast. Less than a year after returning, he was about to enter the sixth level, which was unimaginable in his previous life.
The more solid your foundation is, the further you will go in the future. Taking one step at a time is the truth.
The processing fees obtained were mainly distributed to Jiang Jianguo, Li Yucheng, Li Jinyu and other people who contributed the most in the construction of the equipment.
But the processing fee was not much, so Li Xiang paid out of his own pocket to give big red envelopes to Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui respectively. He asked them to step on rapeseed cakes these days, and their feet became greasy. Thank them for their hard work.
The straw used for oil extraction is reused if it is usable, and only replaced when it is damaged. Aren’t the used straws oily? Although the processing fee is not much, the several videos related to oil extraction have received a lot of traffic, and it also received a rapeseed oil advertisement from a big brand, and the advertising fee alone was 1.5 million yuan.
Li Xiang gave Yao Yao and the others a red envelope of 20,000 yuan each.
…
Beside the War Drum Pavilion, the transplanted peach tree had produced many peaches and had grown many new branches, but the peaches were still relatively green. Li Xiang picked one and tasted it. It was hard, but quite crisp and refreshing, sour and sweet, and had a unique taste.
It's just too raw. It will taste better when it is fully ripe in a few days.
Piles of peach gum were precipitated from the peach trees. Li Xiang picked the peach gum and removed the impurities with the tip of a knife. Each peach gum was carefully trimmed to look like a pink gem and put in glass cans. They looked very beautiful.
Li Xiang had picked some before, and now he has accumulated about three small cans. Jiang Caier is about to have a holiday, so this is a gift prepared for her.
Because her mother likes it, let her take it back and give it to her mother.
May and June are the months when peach gum is most abundant and relatively pure. When the rainy season comes, peach gum will still be available, but it will be rainy continuously and the quality of peach gum will be relatively poor.
…
After Jiang Caier came back, she looked at her phone and threw all the books on the ground in anger: "How shameless! She actually filmed a passionate scene with my brother. She wants to be my only passionate scene partner in the future?"
Although this news was just made up by netizens and Luo Feifei had never made similar remarks, Jiang Caier still felt upset.
Originally, she thought that Luo Feifei might want her brother to play Yang Guo and the other party to play Xiaolongnu, but who knew it would be Yin Zhiping, and it was the only passionate scene in the whole play.
Jiang Caier was certain that Luo Feifei definitely had bad intentions and was plotting against her brother.
"Humph, you are only 15 years old, and I am almost 18. You are so young, I will definitely not like you, little girl!"
In fact, Luo Feifei is about to celebrate her 16th birthday. According to the calculation method in her hometown, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, she is already 18 years old in terms of age.
In the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, babies born before the Chinese New Year are one year old at birth, and two years old after the Chinese New Year, but they are actually less than a month old. Jiang Caier's real age is only about one and a half years older than Luo Feifei.
If we use the age calculation method in Luo Feifei's hometown, Jiang Caier is already 20 years old, and will be 21 after the Chinese New Year, a typical old woman.
Of course, many young people do not accept this method of calculating age based on virtual age.
Especially new mothers: "My baby was just born, and we haven’t even had the full moon banquet yet. I haven’t even finished my confinement period yet, so how come he’s already two years old?" Naturally, they think those relatives are too mean and have made my baby sound old for no reason.
"So what if I'm a big star? So what if I have a good temperament and know how to dress up? Unless I reach the level of transcendence, my beauty will fade with age." Jiang Caier felt the spiritual power all over her body, and she had already opened two spiritual power whirlpools, which gave her a boost of confidence.
"I'm going to find my brother and try out my new superpower." Jiang Caier jumped and skipped, and went to see Li Xiang with a happy mood.
In the living room on the second floor of Li Xiang's house, the two of them secretly got intimate. Li Xiang asked: "You have reached the second level?"
"Yeah, I just had a breakthrough a few days ago." Jiang Caier was very excited and eager to try, "Brother, do you want to experience my new ability?"
"Okay." Li Xiang was also very curious about what kind of superpowers Jiang Caier had awakened.
"Then get ready, I'm coming!" She waved her hand, and a ray of light enveloped Li Xiang.
Li Xiang naturally did not resist, Cai'er would not harm him. Besides, the power did not look very strong.
Then he narrowed his eyes.
"Oh my god, what the hell is this?"
He fell into a matrix diagram, which was full of math, Chinese, English, physics, chemistry... levels.
“I actually need to solve the problem? If I can’t solve it, I’ll be trapped here forever.”
With his strength, he could naturally force his way out, but if his strength was not much higher than Jiang Caier's, for example, he was one level higher than her, or at the same level, or even lower than her, then if he wanted to get out he would have to do the exercises honestly.
If I meet a poor student, I will probably want to die.
"The awakening of superpowers has more to do with people? It actually has little to do with breathing methods?" Li Xiang pondered secretly. He felt that breathing methods were more about cultivating spiritual power, training the spiritual body, and achieving the great way, while awakened superpowers were equivalent to innate magical powers.
As for the skills, moves, martial arts, etc. produced by practicing some specialized techniques, they are much weaker than the innate magical powers.
The innate magical power is equivalent to a big move or a super big move. Due to the natural "inscription", it consumes less spiritual energy.
Other martial arts and magic that are acquired through hard work will not be condensed into inscriptions.
Li Xiang solved the problem honestly. Fortunately, Jiang Caier did not make it too difficult for him. The questions she asked were relatively simple. Li Xiang solved them all and finally "stepped" out of the matrix diagram.
He felt like he had walked a hundred meters in the matrix diagram, but in fact he was just standing still in the living room on the second floor.
"Your ability is quite powerful." Li Xiang praised.
"Yeah, actually it has its own computing function, which is equivalent to a quantum computer. If I encounter a difficult problem, I can use this quantum computer to calculate and get the answer."
Jiang Caier stretched out a finger, and a matrix diagram composed of many light beams appeared at her fingertips. This was what she called the "quantum computer."
This "quantum computer" can be big or small, it can be visible for everyone to see, or it can be hidden, all depending on Jiang Caier's wishes.
"Awesome, awesome! If you continue like this, you will look down on me." Li Xiang suddenly felt that his superpowers were all stupid and could only be used for fighting and killing.
"How could that be?" Jiang Caier hugged Li Xiang and said angrily, "Do to me what you did to Luo Feifei!"
Li Xiang: "What? There is nothing going on between her and me."
"You guys have already filmed a passionate scene, and you're still saying no?"
"Oh my God, that was just acting. There were a lot of staff members watching us, so nothing really happened," Li Xiang explained.
"I don't care. Do it again. Do it the same way you did it then."
"Then lie down, lie on the ground." Li Xiang said.
Jiang Caier looked at the stairs and wondered what to do if someone came up. "Let's go to the room."
“Isn’t this bad?”
"Come."
Jiang Caier went in and did not lie on the ground, but directly lay on the soft big bed.
Li Xiang had no choice but to close the door and repeat the passionate scene from last time.
Of course, since it was acting, nothing happened, and now, it was the same, just touching her cheek, and it ended when she took off her coat.
"That's it?" Jiang Caier raised her eyebrows.
"What do you think?" Li Xiang pinched her face.
"You can continue..." Jiang Caier blushed, her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembled, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Let's get out quickly. It's not good to stay too long." Li Xiang pulled Jiang Caier out quickly. Because he was too energetic, and after being teased by Jiang Caier, he was ready to do something. If he couldn't help himself, it would be bad.
Jiang Caier is only a second year in high school, he can't disturb her mind and affect her academic performance.
"Silly brother..." Jiang Caier curled her lips slightly, thinking that her brother was so honest.
However, this also made me feel relieved. Such a silly brother would not treat Luo Feifei like that.
"Wait until you're over the college entrance examination." Li Xiang said.
"Yeah." Jiang Caier was looking forward to the college entrance examination very much.
Other high school students hoped that the college entrance examination would come later so that they could have more time to review and prepare for the final exam. However, Jiang Caier was full of confidence. She felt that even with her current ability, she could get into Peking University or Tsinghua University if she took part in this year's college entrance examination, but she was not qualified.
It is against the rules to take the college entrance examination in the second year of high school. Some places have done this before, that is, to enroll the top students in the second year of high school in repeater classes and take the college entrance examination as repeaters, so that they can go to college one year earlier.
If you don’t do well in the exam, you can come back to study in the third year of high school and take the exam again.
However, once this kind of thing is discovered, it means quite severe punishment, which is playing a joke on the students' future, so few schools will do this.
The top students in big cities have many channels to get into Peking University and Tsinghua University in advance, but ordinary high schools like Jiang Caier's in small counties can only follow the routine.
"Brother, some of my classmates are coming to see the giant pandas tomorrow." Jiang Caier said.
"Sure, when they get here, take them to the milk tea shop and I'll treat them each to a cup of milk tea."
"There are so many people, almost the whole class is here."
"It's okay, I can afford it. I can't let Xiao Caier lose face, right?" Li Xiang said with a smile. In fact, the cost of milk tea is very low, and a cup of milk tea per person doesn't cost much.
"Huh, I'm still young? That Luo Feifei is young."
Li Xiang: “…”
