The weather turned cooler after the heavy rain.

Xia Lunong woke up and went out to brush his teeth in a T-shirt. He was only halfway through brushing his teeth when the wind blew and caused goose bumps on his arms.

He shivered when the wind blew over his scalp. The water in his hands was not steady and it shook and some of it spilled.

Xia Huoqu looked at him and said, "Go put on a coat."

"Oh, okay." Xia Lunong brushed his teeth in a few strokes, ran back to the room and put on a thin coat, came out and touched his forehead, and said, "It's cold to have a flat head."

"Then grow it a little longer."

Xia Huoqu said as he turned over the peanuts drying on the ground, picked up a few, gently pinched them open, and put them in front of his eyes to look at them carefully.

These peanuts were soaked in the rain last night, and now the shells have dried up. He pinched them open and saw that the pink peanut kernels inside had small white sprouts on the top.

Xia Huoqu's face was gloomy. He pinched several peanuts and the situation was almost the same.

Xia Lunong came over to take a look. "Have they really sprouted?"

"Yes."

Xia Huoqu looked at the peanuts on the ground and then at the peanuts in the basket.

Those peanuts were very dry and there was nothing wrong with them.

Only the half of the peanuts that were soaked in the rain yesterday had sprouted.

Xia Lunong reached out and grabbed a handful. "What should we do with these peanuts? It seems that peanuts can also be pressed for oil after they sprout?"

"The oil pressed out is not good." Xia Huoqu frowned. "Let me think about it."

Xia Lunong looked at the peanuts in his palm and suddenly said, "Why not plant more?"

"Hmm?"

Xia Lunong said, "It seems that it is still in time to harvest another crop if we plant them now."

"The temperature during the fruiting period of peanuts must be at least 10 degrees Celsius. It is too late to plant them now."

Xia Lunong moved her mouth and said, "Don't I have superpowers?"

"You overused your superpowers last month." Xia Huoqu directly refuted his idea. "There are not many at all. You can take these peanuts to the market and exchange them for other things."

There were indeed not many peanuts.

Xia Lunong looked regretful.

After breakfast, Xia Huoqu and Kong Zhi wanted to go out to check the situation outside the base. It was raining so hard, they had to see if there were any movements from the mutant plants and animals nearby. Xia

Lunong and Kong Zhi wanted to go to the fields to check on the vegetables they planted yesterday.

The rain outside had not stopped yet, dripping down. The two of them, wearing hats and rolled up their trousers, walked slowly to the fields in slippers with hoes on their shoulders.

The roads in the base were all dirt roads, and when it rained, there was mud everywhere. They walked to the fields on the grass by the roadside.

Xia Lunong's calves were hit by all kinds of grass, leaving red marks.

The rain was so heavy that there was white mist on both sides of the mountains. The gates at the hydropower station were opened to release water, and the rumbling sound of water could be heard throughout the base.

Xia Lunong tilted her head to look at the hydropower station and suddenly said, "You said it's raining so hard, will all the fish run out?"

"Huh?"

"When we went to wash peanuts last time, weren't there fish in the river?" Xia Lunong said excitedly, "How about we go fishing later?"

"Ask Brother Huo Qu and the others for their opinions."

"Okay, we'll ask when we get back!"

Xia Lunong quickened her pace, "Then let's go to the fields and take a look. It's raining so hard, I don't know if the rapeseed in the vegetable patch has been washed out, and whether we need to replant it."

"We'll know after we take a look."

The two hurried to the vegetable field.

The ditches in the field were full of water, especially in the field ditches, where the water could reach Xia Lunong's ankles, and the branches and grass leaves were soaked in the field ditches, which looked very messy.

Xia Lunong hurriedly dug a few holes in the ridge to let the water flow out, then turned around and ran to check the seeds she had sown yesterday.

Perhaps because she had covered the seeds with a layer of soil when she sowed them yesterday, the seeds were basically not washed out, and they had sprouted tender green shoots, trembling in the breeze.

Xia Lunong felt relieved, and turned around to check the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.

The branches of the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants were all broken into pieces, especially the tomatoes, which had many branches broken.

Xia Lunong took a deep breath, "The tomato trees are really fragile."

"Our tomato trees have grown too big." Kong Zhi went over to prop up the branches and supported them with a stick. "If they hadn't grown so big, it would be better."

"Forget it, I'd rather come and clean up the trouble every rainy day, and I hope it can grow bigger."

Xia Lunong muttered as she propped up the tomato branches and inserted a stick next to it to support it. She also picked up the tomatoes that had fallen in the field ditch.

Many tomatoes were half green and half red. Xia Lunong picked two relatively red ones, washed them in the rain, took a bite, and then handed the other one to Kong Zhi.

A lot of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. in the field were knocked down. The two of them put them in buckets placed in the field and planned to take them back later.

"Let's go, let's go to the wheat field and the rice field."

"The rice field should be fine, let's go to the wheat field first."

"I hope so."

Wheat is afraid of drowning, and when the two passed by, most of the wheat in the field had fallen down,

especially the mutant wheat, with mud and water on the wheat leaves, and many wheat stalks were broken.

The two worked in the field for a long time, lifting up this plant and that fell down, lifting up that plant and that fell down.

Xia Lunong had never expected the wheat field to be in such a terrible state. He was so depressed that he stood in the field with his hands on his hips and sighed, "What should we do now?"

"Just leave it there and let it grow naturally. There is no other way." Kong Zhi pushed his shoulder, "Let's go. It's useless to look at this kind of thing."

Xia Lunong was unwilling to leave it alone. After hesitating for a long time, he turned back and used his supernatural power on the wheat.

Supernatural power can help wheat grow, and maybe it can make wheat grow normally again.

But after using the supernatural power, his face turned completely pale.

Kong Zhi had no choice but to say, "You go home and rest first. I'll go to the rice field by myself."

"I'll go with you. It's not far away."

Kong Zhi followed in front with a bucket in his hand. Seeing his pale face, he said, "Turn into a cat and I'll take you there."

"Ah?"

Kong Zhi said, "Turn."

Xia Lunong looked at him in embarrassment.

Kong Zhi raised his head, "If you don't want to change, don't go."

Xia Lunong was really tired and didn't really want to leave. Seeing that he insisted, she agreed.

Xia Lunong took off her hat, took off her shirt, looked at Kong Zhi, and turned into a long-haired cat with a silver back and green eyes.

Kong Zhi bent down and picked him up. Just as he was about to put him on his shoulder, he looked at him and suddenly said, "Has your beast form grown a little bit?"

"Meow?" Xia Maomao's furry cat face was full of surprise, "Meow?"

Kong Zhi held him with one hand and gestured on his shoulder, "You could squat on my shoulder before, but now you can't."

"Meow."

He didn't believe it.

Kong Zhi looked at him for a while, stretched out his hand and gently put him on his shoulder, then let go.

The cat couldn't stand on his shoulder at all!

Before Xia Maomao could react, his claws slipped and he almost fell off.

He reflexively hooked his claws and grabbed Kong Zhi's shirt tightly, "Meow?!"

His beast form actually grew bigger!

And it grew more than a little!

Kong Zhi took him down again and weighed him. "It's about 15 or 16 pounds now."

Kong Zhi looked at his belly.

Xia Maomao looked down and saw that her belly had bulged out without her knowing when.

? ! !

Xia Maomao's emerald eyes widened and she was shocked.

He had gained weight! He

had a small belly!

And the belly was so big!!!

He had four abdominal muscles in his human form!

"Meow!"

He didn't believe it!

This belly must be fake!!!

Kong Zhi touched the smooth cat's back and said, "Let's go."

He carried a bucket of groceries in one hand and carried the cat in the other hand to go up the mountain to see the rice fields.

Xia Maomao was held in his arms with a dazed expression.

Fish are raised in the rice fields. Kong Zhi usually takes precautions to prevent them from escaping. Three layers of bamboo strips are placed at the water inlet and outlet. Even though it rained so hard last night, the rice is basically fine.

Now we just need to drain the water from the rice fields.

Kong Zhi cleaned up the rice fields and took Xia Maomao home.

Xia Maomao was first hit by the wheat situation and then by her belly. After returning home, she still had no energy and lay listlessly on the sofa.

Kong Zhi made lunch.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian went out for a tour and found that Xia Maomao was not feeling well when they came back.

Xia Huoqu sat on the sofa and touched his smooth back. "This crop of wheat was not planted well. Just plant the next crop. No one can avoid natural disasters."

"Meow." Xia Maomao buried his head under his paws and didn't want to make a sound.

Xia Huoqu pinched his pink paws. "Okay, come out and have lunch."

"Meow." Xia Maomao pushed his brother's hand with his furry and strong paws. For the first time, he had no desire to eat.

He has been a handsome boy since he was a child. When he was a child, he was often invited to be a model and shoot TV shows.

After growing up, he was not only the school hunk, but also the joint school hunk. Especially when he was in college, he was ranked as the most handsome guy in the whole university town.

Who can imagine that he has a little belly now!

Even if he has a little belly in beast form, it is still a little belly!

Shame!

"Meow." Xia Maomao hooked his paws and didn't want to meow at all.

Xia Huoqu noticed something was wrong and asked Kong Zhi, "What happened?"

Kong Zhi brought out the dishes, "Xianong's beast form has grown a little bit."

"It's normal. When the body is well, the beast form will indeed grow a little bit." Xia Huoqu lowered his head, "Isn't it good to have a majestic beast form?"

"Meow!" Xia Maomao continued to shut himself in.

He is not big, but fat.

Kong Zhi squatted to the other side and reached out to scratch his head, "I didn't say you were fat."

Xia Maomao raised his head, "Meow!"

Your meaningful look this morning didn't seem like you didn't say I was fat!

Xia Huoqu realized the crux of the matter and lowered his head and said, "You are all fur, how can you be fat?"

"Meow."

Xia Maomao hooked his paws and looked at his belly.

He was so fat that he didn't even want to change into a human form.

Xia Huoqu followed the cat's gaze to his belly, reached out and rubbed his soft and smooth belly, "Your belly is not fat."

Yan Xinian rarely saw Xia Maomao turning over his belly, so he came over and rubbed it, laughing: "That's right, it feels so good. Where is fat?"

"Meow!"

Don't lie with your eyes open, did you rub my belly? !

Maybe his expression was too resentful, his brother quickly understood what he meant, pinched the soft cat belly, and pulled up a small layer, "Are you talking about this?"

"Meow."

Xia Huoqu let go of the circle of meat under his hand and asked: "Did you know that cats have a unique organ called the primitive pouch? This is it."

"Meow?" Xia Maomao's sweet cat face had a skeptical expression. He looked down at his belly and then at his brother.

He has read a lot of books, isn't that a lie?

Yan Xinian laughed, "I was wondering what you were depressed about? So it's this. I should have found you some books so that you can understand the structure of the cat yourself."

Xia Huoqu nodded in agreement, flicked the cat's head with his finger, and said lightly, "I don't know what it's thinking all day long."
