Chapter 123: Making Hothouse Vegetables
What mosquito? It’s that big mosquito Lu Mingchuan!
Su Heng realized what was going on as soon as she asked him the question. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to rush into the next room and beat up the culprit.
But fortunately, these two sisters had never even held a man's hand, and it was not like the information explosion of later generations where everything was available on the Internet.
So even though they are sixteen or seventeen years old, their minds are still very innocent.
Su Heng laughed it off and said it was an allergy, and dealt with the two of them.
Although Chen Xiang and Luo Yan were a little confused, they were still thinking about their clothes and their attention was diverted by a few words.
Chen Xiang asked, "Can it be done before the Chinese New Year? It's still more than a month away."
"That's more than enough. Don't worry, you will definitely wear new clothes during the New Year." Su Heng promised.
The clothes they made were for wearing inside cotton-padded jackets. In winter, since there was a kang at home, they didn't have to wrap themselves up like they did outside.
If you don't go out, you can wear something light.
As for why no one has asked Su Heng to be their big cotton-padded jacket yet, it is mainly because Su Heng is powerless to do anything.
When the temperature drops to dozens of degrees below zero, nothing is as warm as a thick cotton-padded jacket or a military coat.
There are no lightweight down jackets now, so the most practical thing to do is to wrap yourself in something thicker.
Originally, the workload of making two undergarments was not that great, but whenever Su Heng was busy, she would be asked to do the work.
After seeing Chen Xiang and Luo Yan off, not long after, Song Wan knocked on her door.
She also brought a basket of eggs and a package.
Su Heng was puzzled: "Why did you suddenly bring me eggs?"
Song Wan smiled, and her cold face was filled with joy. "Xiao Yi sent me some cloth and asked me to ask you to make some clothes in advance."
"From what you said, it seems that the matter is settled and he will be back soon?" Su Heng asked gossipingly.
Song Wan nodded: "He has already informed his family. He bought the things and sent them back in advance. He is probably on the train now."
Although it was not mentioned whether the Cheng family specifically agreed or not, Su Heng felt that no matter how unwilling the Cheng family was, they would have to back down after seeing their son's tough attitude.
This is the family status of the only child who has been the only son for three generations.
It is impossible for the Cheng family to give up their son just because they are dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law. He has been away for a year and has not been seen. There is room for negotiation on everything.
"Congratulations." Su Heng joked.
Song Wan smiled and opened the cloth bag, which contained a pack of chocolates in an iron box.
"You like sweet food, so this is for you. Try it and see if you like it?" she said as she handed it to Su Heng.
This is a rare thing.
In Changlin City, let alone chocolate, there are only two or three kinds of candy.
After all, it has to be the capital.
Su Heng took it, picked up a small piece and put it into her mouth. It had a strong bitter aroma with a hint of sweetness, and the taste was a bit like dark chocolate, but not as pure bitter as dark chocolate.
"It's delicious. Thank you, Wanwan."
Su Heng said this and saw the package underneath and asked, "Is this cloth for making clothes?"
"Well, you can see what kind of bodysuit is suitable. You don't have to be too particular. As long as we can get married before the New Year, that's fine."
As Song Wan spoke, she took out a red envelope and handed it to Su Heng, which contained a big unity note.
Su Heng suddenly felt the pressure coming.
She had to complete three orders before the New Year, but she thought she had plenty of time before!
But how could such a big event as marriage be delayed? Su Heng immediately patted his chest and promised to finish it as soon as possible.
After measuring Song Wan's size, Su Heng started to get busy again.
Seeing that she was about to start making clothes, Lu Mingchuan helped her move all the things and the sewing machine to his room.
The house is warm, so chocolate can only be placed in the main room.
Lu Mingchuan peeled the chestnuts and hazelnuts for Su Heng and brought them to the table along with some snacks.
There were also some melon seeds, but they would cause internal heat, so he didn't let Su Heng eat too much.
I made her a cup of honey water and was almost about to feed it to her.
But because of the hickey, when Lu Mingchuan wanted to get close to her again at night, he was still banned from driving for three days.
"Reflect on this for a while."
Lu Mingchuan had no choice but to give up with regret.
The next day, when going to work, Su Heng received good news.
Her proposal was adopted by Pu Fengliang, who decided to use another empty warehouse as a pilot site for a greenhouse.
There was an experienced craftsman in the team who was good at making kangs. Pu Fengliang made a plan and discussed the specific details with the master, and Su Heng and the others followed him to help.
Work hasn't been very busy these days, as the results of the new employees' assessments from last week have come out.
It can be seen that everyone has made great progress, but the one with the best performance is still Song Zhaodi.
Not only does she study hard, she also has an active mind.
Su Heng praised her a few times, and then gave everyone the same praise: "Work hard, the future of the laboratory still depends on you."
It was the first time for the newbies to drink chicken soup, and they were immediately full of energy.
Once the greenhouse is set up, they will start doing a few experiments.
See how the results turn out and then decide whether to do the greenhouse vegetable project.
As for the wheat hybridization experiment that Su Heng wanted to study early on, the cycle is relatively long and can be carried out together.
The floor of the large warehouse was divided into small grids by bricks. Pu Fengliang took a dozen young people to the fields and carried baskets of soil to plant crops.
This group of young people who were born in the countryside are quite experienced in farm work, and the only boy who passed the exam from the city does a good job.
Su Heng turned around and saw Song Zhaodi. She was thin and small, carrying two full baskets that were as heavy as the boys'.
He quickly said, "Pick up less at a time. Take a break when you're tired. There's no need to rush this."
It was the first time that Song Zhaodi heard someone tell her to take a rest if she was tired.
I was touched but I habitually said, "I'm fine, thank you Sister Su Heng, I can do it."
Liu Hongying, who was shoveling dirt nearby, said, "Yes, Sister Su Heng, you don't know, Zhaodi is very strong. She can lift a full basket just like a man."
Zhang Chunmei also agreed, "Yes, I think Zhaodi is more powerful than men."
The two of them were simply praising her without any malice, and Song Zhaodi had heard such words many times.
This is what she has always wanted to prove, that she is no worse than men.
But Su Heng shook her head and said gently, "You are girls. Your physiological structure is naturally different from that of men. This is normal. You don't have to be the same as them."
She looked at Song Zhaodi's hands as she put down the basket and wiped the sweat off her face. She could naturally feel her physical fatigue and patted her shoulder gently.
He said with a joking smile, "Your body is your own. You have to learn to treat yourself better. Otherwise, if you burn yourself out, people will say we're abusing child labor."
Song Zhaodi is already nineteen years old, but she looks less than 1.6 meters tall and thin, just like she is not an adult.
She felt the gentle comfort on her shoulder, and her eyes suddenly felt a little warm when she heard these words.
Looking at Su Heng, he hummed softly, then quickly lowered his head, not wanting others to see his hot eyes.
I followed his instructions and shoveled out some of the dirt in the basket, leaving only an amount that I could carry without getting too tired.
Seeing this, Liu Hongying and Zhang Chunmei, although they didn't quite understand the reason, also felt that what they had just said was not very good.
Then he walked forward carrying the basket and said with a smile, "Sister Su Heng is right. We must be nicer to ourselves."
"Zhaodi, let's go together."
"good."
