Rural Scenery of Rebirth

At noon, the weather was uncomfortably hot. This year, Lei's family planted two plots of watermelon on purpose. The watermelon seeds were improved by Professor He Yu.

At this time, most of the watermelons in the field are ripe.

Lei Jun went to the vegetable base with Lei Qiang and He Yu early in the morning. After a busy morning, almost all the ginger was planted.

When going back, Lei Jun asked Lei Qiang and Professor He Yu to go back first, while he turned around and went to the watermelon field to pick the biggest watermelon and take it back.

Because they are busy these days, the three of them get together every day. Lei Qiang and He Yu eat three meals a day at Lei Jun's house. Jiang's mother will prepare lunch at home every day. When Deng Deng is watched by the old man, Xia Chen will also go to the kitchen to help.

This year, most of the land at home has been planted with ginger, and Lei's family only left a few pieces of soil next to the yard to grow vegetables for their own food, as well as fish grass to feed the fish.

Mother Jiang and Mr. Lei relaxed and spent most of their time on Deng Deng.

When Lei Qiang and He Yu came back, the meals had already been prepared, and there was a big fan in the main room. As soon as they went into the yard to wash their hands at the laundry trough, Xia Chen turned on the fan, blowing Kazka The buzzing.

In fact, Leijia Village is a little hotter at noon. After six o'clock, the temperature will gradually drop. With the breeze, it will even be a little cold. It may be because it is backed by the mountains.

So, Xia Chen and Lei Jun thought about it, and they didn't buy an air conditioner and came back to install it. The air conditioner blows too much and it's too dry, so it's not as cool as the natural wind.

Lei Qiang and He Yu walked into the main room. They washed their faces with cold water just now, and their faces were covered with steam. They were sitting on a stool blowing the wind, drinking mung bean soup in their hands, and they cooled down after a while.

The fan was placed directly opposite Deng Deng, but it was never aimed at him again.

Dengdeng is still young, and his family dare not let him use a fan for fear that he will catch a cold.

Every time Jiang's mother sees her little grandson is hot, she uses a cattail fan to fan him slowly.

At this time, Xia Chen was breastfeeding Deng Deng.

Deng Deng was lying on the crib, hearing the sound of the fan, holding the bottle in his hands and drinking, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the electric fan, looking very curious, every time the fan rang, he did this.

Xia Chen was already used to his son's movements, and helped him to sit up slowly, letting Deng Deng see enough.

When Deng Deng sat up, he shook his hand holding the bottle.

Xia Chen hurriedly helped Dengdeng hold the bottle. He was indeed a snack, so he was afraid that he would not be able to drink it.

"Xiaoqiang, why didn't Xiaojun come back together?" Jiang's mother came in from the kitchen, holding the last dish in her hand, and asked Lei Qiang.

"Lei Zi said to go to the watermelon field to pick a watermelon. In the hot weather in the afternoon, you can eat watermelon to quench your thirst, so Professor He and I came back first." Lei Qiang looked up at Mama Jiang's direction and replied.

"The watermelons in the watermelon field are almost ripe, Xiaoqiang, when you go back later, go to the field and pick two back. The weather is so hot, and the watermelon is durable. It won't go bad after two or three days. At home, if you want to eat, you can do it anytime, and the weather is so hot at noon, it’s best to quench your thirst with watermelon." Jiang Shufen put the vegetables on the dining table, looked at Lei Qiang and said seriously: "If the house is gone, , you go to the field to pick it yourself.”

Lei Qiang was not polite, nodded, and said with a smile: "The one I brought back last time weighed more than ten catties, and I haven't finished eating it at home. I will pick it after I finish eating. My grandma also said that this watermelon It tastes so sweet that you don’t even have to spit it out.”

Jiang Shufen pointed in He Yu's direction and said with a smile: "I have to thank Professor He for planting the watermelons. The watermelons that come out of this kind are all big and round, and the smallest one weighs [-] pounds. Nothing at all, sandy and sweet."

He Yu looked at them and replied with a smile: "If you think it's good, when you plant watermelons tomorrow, ask me for it. I think the soil quality in Leijia Village is better. This kind of food tastes good. I have enjoyed a lot here." He drank the mung bean soup in his hand and squinted his eyes contentedly.

While talking in the main room, Lei Jun walked in with a big watermelon in his arms, followed by Mr. Lei who came back with him.

The weather was too hot, Mr. Lei was afraid that the fish in the pond would turn white, so he went to have a look. When he came back, he happened to meet his youngest son who came back from the watermelon field, and the two of them came back together.

"Xiaojun, quickly put the watermelon on the ground. How can you pick such a big one? It's not too heavy." Jiang Shufen said hastily, watching her youngest son come back with such a big watermelon.

Xia Chen looked at the big watermelon that Lei Jun was holding in his hand in shock, it must be too big.

Even the youngest Dengden was attracted by the big watermelon, staring at it without blinking.

"This watermelon looks like it weighs more than 20 catties." Mr. Lei said solemnly.

"It's simply the watermelon king." Lei Qiang followed Mr. Lei's words and praised.

In the main room, Professor He Yu was the calmest one. After all, it wasn't the biggest one he had ever seen. He had seen even bigger ones when he was in the Agricultural Bureau.

"Mom, I'll take this watermelon to the kitchen, cut half of it and put it in the refrigerator to freeze. I'll freeze it for a while, so I can take it out and eat it later. I'll put the other half outside." Lei Jun said to his mother.

This watermelon is too big, and the refrigerator can only fit half of it.

Jiang Shufen nodded and said: "Okay, you put the watermelon in the kitchen first, and eat right away, and the other half is not iced, you put it outside, and I will clean it up after dinner."

"En." Lei Jun responded, and went to the kitchen with the watermelon in his arms.

Xia Chen watched him leave with greedy eyes, thinking that he would also eat something fresh after a while.

Deng Deng also seemed to know that watermelon is delicious, shook his hand holding the empty baby bottle, and said "ah" several times in the direction Lei Jun left.

Xia Chen has a bad heart. Watermelon is a cold fruit. Although he can eat it, he can only eat it in a small amount. Moreover, he can't eat iced ones.

Lei Jun always remembered the double advice of Dr. Li and Dr. Chen Jun. In terms of food, he paid great attention to Xia Chen's diet.

Mother Jiang and Mr. Lei also knew about Xia Chen's physical condition, and they were very supportive of Lei Jun's approach.

Xia Chen can't eat secretly if he wants to, there are always people at home.

Since the watermelon at home has matured, Xia Chen can only eat a small piece every day to satisfy his hunger, and there must be no more.

What made Xia Chen feel psychologically comforted was that he couldn't eat even if there was someone at home with him.

Deng Deng has a weak spleen and stomach, and is worse than his father. When the trouble is the worst, he can only taste two bites.

In the morning, Jiang Shufen cooked a big pot of porridge and kept it cold. In this weather, she couldn't eat dry rice at noon, so porridge was the most suitable.

There are mostly cold dishes on the table. Recently, everyone prefers this dish, and it is very convenient to make.

However, I also fried two meat dishes, a light fungus fried meat, and a heavy spicy chicken.

Probably because of the hot weather, Xia Chen's appetite has not been very good recently.

Lei Jun made a lot of hot and sour dishes that Xia Chen likes to eat, and Jiang's mother improved them, and the taste was even better than the previous ones.

With these side dishes, Xia Chen can eat two more bowls of porridge.

Lei Jun saw that although he looked a little thinner than before, he looked good, so he wasn't worried.

After eating, Lei Jun helped Jiang's mother quickly clear the table.

Lei Qiang also helped to clean the table. He spent more time in Lei's house than his own, and he was very used to doing these things. Obviously, he never regarded himself as an outsider.

Mr. Lei and Professor He went out to play chess outside the courtyard. Xia Chen made two cups of tea and brought them out.

Recently, with like-minded chess friends, Mr. Lei never asked Xia Chen to study chess records together. After all, Xia Chen also knew that his chess skills were really bad, and he had never won a game against Mr. Lei. big.

Xia Chen stood outside watching the two old men play chess for a while before entering the house.

At this time, Deng Deng had fallen asleep in the crib, and Jiang's mother was standing next to the little grandson to help fan the wind.

Lei Jun and Lei Qiang were sitting on the side talking.

Xia Chen went directly to Lei Jun and sat down.

Lei Qiang sat there for a while, thinking that he would accompany his grandmother to the town to grab some medicine in the afternoon, so he went back to his home first.

As soon as Lei Qiang left, Xia Chen and Lei Jun talked to Jiang's mother, and then took a look at their son who was soundly sleeping. The two went upstairs and returned to their room, planning to take a lunch break.

Xia Chen was lying on the bed, thinking of the call from Uncle Chen in the morning, turned around and said to Lei Jun who was sleeping next to him: "Uncle Chen called me this morning, Uncle Chen wanted us to bring Deng Deng back A trip to City H."

Originally, Uncle Chen decided to come to Leijia Village to see Dengdeng after he knew Deng Deng was born. In this regard, although Xiao Zhang is Uncle Chen's apprentice, he has only come into contact with the antique business after all, and it is definitely not possible to let him go, so Uncle Chen had to go for a trip by himself, and it took half a month to go back and forth. time.

There were only Uncle Chen and Xiao Zhang in the antique shop. Uncle Chen left, and there was no one in the shop, so it was hard to get away.

Hearing Xia Chen's words, Lei Jun turned sideways to him, and replied seriously: "Deng Deng is so old, and Uncle Chen has never seen him, we should take Deng Deng back to City H to see Uncle Chen. "Besides, when I go back this time, I can just wait until the anniversary of Xiaochen's parents' death.

"What about the vegetable base?" Xia Chen was still worried.

Lei Jun gave him a reassuring look, and said: "As for the vegetable base, the ginger has been planted this morning, and there is nothing to do next. Besides, there are Qiangzi and Professor He."

"Where are the parents?" Xia Chen took Dengdeng away this time. The two elders loved Dengdeng so much, and they must be reluctant.

"Don't worry about your parents, I'll tell you." Lei Jun squeezed his hand and said, "It's certain that my parents are reluctant to part with Deng Deng, but we're only going to live for a while and then come back, it's not like we won't come back. Parents can still understand."

Xia Chen looked at him and responded, that's the only way to go.
