Chapter 287 Hot summer, hot summer
Song Yan is still unable to get out of bed and can only lie on his hospital bed with his legs suspended.
Holding a piece of paper and a short pencil, he wrote carefully, word by word.
It only took a dozen minutes.
His face turned red and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.
It felt like standing in a military posture under the scorching sun.
Song Yan said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter which stroke you write first, as long as you don't make any mistakes. Look, this is also the character Yang."
"no."
Zhou Xiaochuan, who was like a little adult, shook his head and corrected him seriously.
"Teacher Yang said that the stroke order is the basis for writing a character well, just like being a person, you have to follow the order step by step, so that you can be an upright and good person."
Song Yan became interested when he heard this and asked, "Did your teacher Yang really say that?"
"Um."
Zhou Xiaochuan nodded.
Song Yan was no longer entangled or upset. Instead, he was quite happy.
"Okay, I'll listen to your teacher Yang. I'll start over now, and you watch me. I won't make any mistakes this time. First here... then here... right?"
After a while, Jiang Rou looked sideways.
I saw that the paper where Song Yan practiced writing was filled with dense writing.
[Dear Comrade Yang...]
It is really Sima Zhao's intention, everyone knows it, and he doesn't hide it at all.
…
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Song Yan's learning ability is average, but his physical recovery ability is absolutely impeccable.
Such a serious fracture, but he recovered 80% to 90% in the shortest time.
They are still not able to engage in strenuous exercise or high-intensity training, but are no problem performing simple tasks or standing guard.
Of course, Jiang Rou’s contribution is also indispensable in this.
Take it daily to keep your bones strong.
As the days passed, the island entered its summer heat.
The scorching sun begins to scorch the earth at seven or eight in the morning and lasts until six or seven in the evening.
The daylight hours are gradually getting longer.
High temperatures have been shrouding the island.
Especially in the afternoon, when the sun is shining directly, I would sweat all over just sitting at home and would not dare to go out.
The vegetable garden in the Zhou family courtyard also faced its biggest test.
For example, some green vegetable seedlings were directly sunburned to the point of being dehydrated and dried to death.
Even though Jiang Rou watered the room morning and night, it was useless.
Jiang Rou felt regretful for a long time, and was even more worried that other vegetables in the yard would also be killed by the sun.
After Zhou Chongshan learned about this, he took some time off on a day off and made a roof with ropes and rain cloth, and tied it to the four corners of the yard wall.
The shadow cast by the top of the building will move slowly as the angle of sunlight changes.
This way, the small courtyard can both receive sunlight and provide shade.
Ensure the vitality of vegetables and fruits in the yard.
Jiang Rou's attire also changed from long-sleeved and long pants to a sleeveless dress.
Her snow-white skin glows soft and delicate in the bright sunlight.
Everyone who saw it would praise Zhou Chongshan for being so blessed.
During this period, a transport ship came once and replenished supplies on the island.
Rice, flour, grain and oil are secondary. The most important thing is a batch of electric fans.
Jiang Rou heard that Liang Guangming had specially applied for it from the organization.
Many soldiers came from all over the country and were not used to the sweltering summer heat in the south. It was a tough test for them.
It is okay to test the soldiers, but the families accompanying the soldiers must be taken care of.
Therefore, every household was distributed a set of electric fans.
【Electric fan photo】
A blue-green fan with white plastic buttons, and it also shakes its head.
In this era, it is definitely a "high-tech product".
It was also the first electrical appliance in their home.
Jiang Rou was very happy. She depended on this electric fan to get through the summer.
It would be even better if you could give me a radio next time.
It can also enrich your daily life.
This afternoon.
The sun is at its brightest.
Everyone stayed indoors to escape the heat.
Zhou Xiaohua drank three bowls of mung bean soup at noon. Her belly was round and round, so she lay on the cool mat and took a nap.
Jiang Rou sat aside, holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand and fanning herself slowly.
The wind from the fan is warm.
Even when Zhou Xiaohua fell asleep, she was still sweating. The sweat wet her hair and stuck to her face.
This summer has just begun, and it will be longer in the future.
Jiang Rou was a little worried.
The hot summer weather is more difficult to deal with than not having enough food.
It's really annoying.
It was such a hot day, but there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Rou, are you home?"
"I'm here."
Jiang Rou put the fan aside, walked out and looked at the person who came.
It turned out to be Yang Hongping.
"Sister Hong, why are you here in such hot sunshine? Come in, come in and sit down."
Jiang Rou immediately invited Yang Hongping into the house.
She turned on the electric fan and blew it towards Yang Hongping, and poured her a cup of boiled water and a bowl of mung bean porridge to cool her down.
After Yang Hongping entered the house, she first looked around the small house carefully.
She hadn't been here for a long time. She still remembered that when she first came, the room was almost bare, with nothing in it except the dining table.
Now there are more cabinets, more flat lace fabrics, and more photos on the walls.
Everything is clean and tidy.
The most important thing is that it is filled with a warm breath of life.
Yang Hongping looked around and asked with concern.
"The weather has been so hot recently. Are you able to cope with it? Are you feeling the pinch?"
"Sister Hong, I've adapted. I just do housework and take care of the children. That's not hardship. Soldiers who are outside under the scorching sun and have to carry out their missions have the hardest time. They are really working hard."
Yang Hongping looked at the smile on Jiang Rou's face and was quite satisfied with her answer.
Then he asked again.
"Where's the child? Why can't I see him?"
"Xiaochuan went to school, Xiaohua ate too much at noon and is taking a nap now."
"Now that you mention it, I remember. Your little Chuan has only been in school for a short time, but he already knows more words than older children. Every time Teacher Yang talks about him, he always praises him and keeps praising his intelligence."
"Yes, our Xiaochuan is indeed smart and excellent. He can remember everything he learns in one go."
Speaking of this, Jiang Rou smiled proudly.
He admitted it without hesitation.
There was no intention of being humble at all, which was completely different from her previous polite answer.
Yang Hongping looked at Jiang Rou like this, and her eyes became even more admiring.
She continued.
"You have high school grades in your file, which are excellent. Now that you are on the island, you can't put your knowledge into practice. Don't you think it's a pity?"
"There's nothing to regret. I'm doing logistics work for Chongshan, which is also building the country."
Jiang Rou felt that with this realization, she could take the civil service examination next life.
Yang Hongping was indeed quite satisfied.
She took a sip of water and finally talked about the main point of her visit.
"Sister Rou, it's a pity to waste such outstanding abilities of yours. Would you like to join me and do more for everyone?"
