Xia Lunong went into the house to get the seeds.
The soil in their greenhouse was newly taken today, and it was loose and fertile.
He didn't need to dig holes when planting things, just sprinkle the seeds on them and then sprinkle a thin layer of soil on them.
Xia Lunong was now very skilled in planting, and it would take less than ten minutes to finish.
For this reason, he poked Kong Zhi and said, "You go and fetch water to water the land, I can sow the seeds myself."
Seeing that he didn't want his help, Kong Zhi nodded and said, "Call me if you need anything."
Xia Lunong was humming a song and was about to go into the greenhouse.
Suddenly, he felt something tripping his feet.
He looked down and saw that in the dim light, Rose had jumped over at some point and was wrapping around his ankles.
It was winter and people were wearing thick clothes. Rose had no intention of hurting him, so he didn't feel anything. He was stumbled for a moment before he realized that Rose had come to his side without him knowing when.
Xia Lunong was startled and looked down at Yueji: "What's wrong?"
Yueji said softly: "This greenhouse looks very useful."
Xia Lunong: "..."
Yueji: "I heard it's very warm inside."
Xia Lunong hesitated, "Do you want to go in?"
Yueji asked back: "Such a good place, which plant would not want to?"
Xia Lunong touched his chest, as if touching his conscience, "If you want, I'll move you in."
Yueji was satisfied, "Okay. If you move me in, I can help you keep an eye on the situation inside, and call you in time if anything is wrong."
Xia Lunong smiled, "Do you want to move one of your plants in, or all of them?"
Yueji said without hesitation, "All of them here!"
There were only six plants of Yue left planted in the yard.
It is not big in size, and it doesn't take up much space if it is moved into the greenhouse.
Xia Lunong said, "Wait a minute, I'll finish sowing the seeds and then move you in."
"No, I can just jump in by myself." After saying that, Yueji asked, "Do you want to move the summer pepper and honeysuckle in?"
Xia Lunong glanced at the rose below.
The leaves and branches of the rose were motionless, as if it were an ordinary plant.
Xia Lunong could sense its emotions and knew that it definitely didn't want to hear a positive answer.
So Xia Lunong said, "It's better not to do that. They are too big and it will take up a lot of space if they are moved in."
The rose was happy now. It used its not-so-developed root system to move inside with difficulty and said calmly, "Yeah, spring is coming soon and the weather is getting warmer. There's really no need for them to move in."
Xia Lunong looked at it with an incomprehensible look and complained in her heart, it's going to get warmer soon, don't you still want to move in?
The rose caught a few words and said, "I am different. You promised to be nice to me. If you have such a good thing, can't you let me have some?"
Xia Lunong pinched the tip of its leaves and said, "Okay, you help me watch the crops inside."
It only took a few minutes to sow the seeds and water them. After Xia Lunong prepared the seeds, she took a small hoe and transplanted the roses in.
The temperature has just been turned on, but it is still much warmer in the greenhouse than outside.
Rose stretched out its branches in the greenhouse and sighed, "I don't like winter."
Xia Lunong comforted it, "Winter will be over soon, and the day after tomorrow is Spring Festival."
Kong Zhi poured the water and turned to pour the remaining water on the edge of Rose, "It's done, let's go back quickly."
"Okay." Xia Lunong greeted Rose, "Let's go into the house first."
When they entered the house, his brother and Yan Xinian had almost chopped the vegetables and meat for dumplings.
Yan Mingqing was not good at housework, so he washed the vegetables on the side.
In the winter, the Xia family did not skimp on firewood and specially heated hot water to wash the vegetables.
Yan Mingqing was very careful in his work and washed the vegetables very cleanly.
Xia Lunong looked at the mushrooms in the wooden basin, with surprise in her eyes, "Brother, you got mushrooms! And green onions!"
"We must have a good meal during the New Year." Xia Huoqu raised his chin, "The lotus root and minced meat have been chopped, you can season it."
"Okay." Xia Lunong asked, "Are Major Leng and the others coming over later? They don't have any dietary restrictions, right?"
"We asked them specifically, and they said no." Xia Huoqu turned to Yan Mingqing and asked, "Professor Yan, do you have any allergies or anything you don't like to eat?"
Yan Mingqing was still a little reserved, and said after a beat: "No, I eat everything, you can just follow your own taste."
Xia Lunong smiled, "We eat everything too. I didn't like ginger before, but now I think everything tastes good."
Yan Mingqing smiled and continued to wash the vegetables.
Xia Lunong took the chopsticks and stirred vigorously in one direction.
Kong Zhi said, "I'll stir, Xiao Nong, you knead the dough, I'm not good at controlling the water."
"Okay." Xia Lunong took the chopping board out to wash, humming a song while washing.
When they rolled out the dumplings, Leng Changkong and the other two came back with a cold wind.
Leng Changkong and his two companions were conducting research near the base today.
They didn't know how long they had been walking, and there was still white frost in their hair.
Yan Xinian looked up, washed his hands quickly and poured them hot tea, "It must be cold on the road, come, have a cup of tea."
Leng Changkong smiled and said, "It's okay, I walked quite fast and I got hot, so it's not that cold."
He handed a large piece of meat in his hand to Yan Xinian, "We shot a deer today and sent it to the cafeteria. It will be counted as our contribution for tomorrow's dinner. Let's try this tonight."
"You are too polite. Deer are very agile now. They must be difficult to hunt, right?" Yan Xinian took the venison, turned around and handed it to Xia Huoqu, and then went to pour tea, "Hey, drink a cup of tea quickly to warm yourself up."
"We have guns. It won't be difficult to kill them with one shot." He took the teacup from Yan Xinian's hand, first gave it to Ming'an behind him, then to Zhao Mingfeng, and finally took it himself.
Xia Lunong quietly observed their actions.
Ming'an is a woman, so it's not surprising that Leng Changkong takes care of her.
But Zhao Mingfeng is his subordinate, and he is a man, but he still takes care of him, which shows that this man really leads by example.
Xia Lunong's favorability towards Leng Changkong increased a little bit.
Leng Changkong is very sensitive.
Xia Lunong looked at him for a little longer, and Leng Changkong turned his head to look at him, smiled at him, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.
Xia Lunong was a little embarrassed, shook his head lightly, and continued to knead the dough with his head down.
After he kneaded the dough, Kong Zhi came over, took the dough, and said lightly: "Let me do it, Xiao Nong, you go and knead the next one."
When Kong Zhi came over to speak, his tall figure blocked Leng Changkong, and Xia Lunong didn't think there was anything wrong.
Xia Huoqu, who was standing next to them, raised his head and took another look at them.
The guests enjoyed the meal very much, and they left one after another after ten o'clock in the evening.
While they were cooking dumplings, water was boiling in a pot at the back. Now the water was still hot, so Xia Lunong fetched some water to take a bath.
Kong Zhi came over, gently lifted the bucket from his hand, and said, "Are soldiers particularly handsome?"
Xia Lunong nodded and said with longing, "He has an ordinary appearance, but it's his temperament that is particularly eye-catching."
Kong Zhi said, "No wonder you couldn't take your eyes off him all night."
Xia Lunong didn't expect him to be waiting for her here. She looked up at him and couldn't help but smile. She nudged him lightly with her elbow and chuckled, "Is this why you don't dip dumplings in vinegar at night?" Kong Zhi pinched
his neck with his free hand and said, "Shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"
Xia Lunong shrank her neck and lowered her body. She broke free from his hand and said, "Actually, what I was thinking today was that if you were in uniform, you would be very handsome, so I took a few more glances at you."
This answer was barely acceptable.
Kong Zhi said, "I'm very handsome even without clothes."
Xia Lunong blinked, "I was thinking we could customize uniforms to try, don't you want to?"
Kong Zhi's breathing became heavy, and he stretched out his hand to grab him who was about to escape and said, "Let's take a shower together today."
"I don't want to." Xia Lunong struggled, "You ate venison today, and the sound insulation is not very good."
Kong Zhi lowered his voice, "It's okay, you don't have to make any noise later."
Xia Lunong was finally dragged to the bathroom.
It's easy for people to not make any noise, just use their mouths for other things.
It was an exciting and chaotic night. The next morning, Xia Lunong naturally got up late.
He got up and didn't even bother to brush his teeth. He went to the greenhouse to check the seeds he sowed last night.
The temperature in the greenhouse was well maintained, and the thermometer showed 19 degrees Celsius.
Compared to the temperature outside, which was more than ten degrees below zero, it was warm as spring in the greenhouse.
The temperature was very good, and all the seeds had sprouted. When the plastic sheet covering the outside was lifted, a sea of tender green filled the view.
Xia Lunong was surprised, and he walked over to examine each plant carefully.
Among all the plants, the fastest growing was wheat, which had grown more than an inch tall. Its leaves were still tender green, but its stems were already strong and thick.
Other crops such as rice, corn, and potatoes were also growing well.
Xia Lunong looked at them one by one, and found that these crops had no insects or diseases, and their leaves were green and their stems were thick, and they looked very pleasing.
After watching him turn around, Yueji touched his leg with a branch and talked to him, "Don't worry, all the crops are growing well. If there is any problem, I will remind you as soon as you come in."
Xia Lunong smiled and bent down to touch its leaves, "Thank you for your hard work."
Yueji was very calm and said meaningfully, "It's not hard for me, but you are more tired."
After that, Yueji complained again, "I really don't understand your reproductive behavior."
Xia Lunong: "..."
What kind of plant is this? Why is it so sensitive?
