Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Chapter 60 Visiting on a Rainy Day

It was just that seeing that Bai Zhu liked playing with her, he wanted to help his grandson keep his only playmate.

After promising Bai Zhu that he would visit him often in the future, Han Zhaozhao left the purchasing station happily.

Following Mr. Bai's advice, we found a small seed shop in an inconspicuous corner, bought the seeds we needed, and returned home with a full load.

The weather in the afternoon was a drizzle with sometimes heavy and sometimes light, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. It was really lingering and made me feel depressed!

Unlike the summer storms that come and go as planned, clean and quick.

The autumn rain was drizzling down slowly and steadily. Every autumn rain brings a chill. This rain not only made the roads muddy and difficult to walk on, but also caused the temperature to drop sharply. Han Zhaozhao could not stand it even in her small jacket.

It’s really cold!

The next time the weather changes, it probably won’t rain, but snow!

Alas, her cotton jacket is not ready yet! I don’t know where the cotton fluffer has wandered off to this year. Several old men and women sit at the entrance of the alley every day but never see him. I wonder if he won’t come this year? !

Han Zhaozhao waded through the mud all the way home, her feet clacking to the rhythmic beats of drums.

When I got home, my feet felt numb and cold from soaking, and my skin was pale and wrinkled.

Throwing his muddy old cloth shoes on the porch, Han Zhaozhao put away his umbrella and hung it on a nail to control the water, then walked into the house barefoot and returned to the space.

After taking a hot bath in the bathroom, Han Zhaozhao's body finally recovered. It was only now, why was the weather so cold?

Without a thermometer, she could tell by her body feeling that today's temperature was only about 7 or 8 degrees. It was said that people in this era were generally resistant to hunger and cold, so why didn't she feel anything?

Maybe this is because her soul succumbed to the external environment first!

Alas, the main reason must be her poor physical fitness. She has neither muscles nor fat on her body, and her meals are not nutritious enough. It seems she needs to continue to work hard!

The plants planted in the space have sprouted, and the crops have grown into small seedlings more than two feet tall.

Han Zhaozhao is transplanting strawberry seedlings in the field. The seedlings grown from seeds are very weak. She has already transplanted them once, and this is the second time.

The strawberry seedlings have now grown six true leaves. If they continue to grow, the seedling cup will not be able to hold them.

This is the last time of transplanting. This time they are planted in the field and all we have to do is wait for them to grow slowly, bloom and bear fruit.

Not many seedlings survived this time, only about 200. It was the first time for Han Zhaozhao to grow strawberry seedlings from seeds. He felt it was too much trouble, not to mention the long time it took, and the seedlings he grew were very weak.

It seems that the first few batches of fruits produced after growing up will definitely not be too big. The plant is weak, the flowers are weak, and the fruits will definitely not be large.

It is better to grow seedlings by cuttings. The strawberry plants grown in this way are strong, save time and labor, are simple to operate, and have a particularly high survival rate.

The seedlings are strong, the fruits are relatively large, full of moisture, high in sweetness and better in taste.

Thinking of the result, Han Zhaozhao suddenly thought: It's over! She forgot the most important thing, there are no bees in the space!

The little honey bees are the most important pollination media for plants to bloom and bear fruit. Without bees, she can only appreciate the flowers in space. It is really difficult for her to eat fruits!

Before I had finished planting two rows of crops, I heard knocks on the door.

"Who is this? Why are you knocking on the door when it's raining so heavily? " Han Zhaozhao quickly dropped the work in his hands, put on his padded jacket, walked out of the space and headed for the door.

"Zhao Zhao, open the door. Xue Ying and I are here to play with you." Han Zhaozhao peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that it was Niu Xiaoyun and Xue Ying.

Finding no one else in the alley, Han Zhaozhao opened the door to let them in, then bolted the door again. She kept the safety rules in mind at all times.

"Come in quickly! Why are you two here in the rain instead of sleeping at home?" Han Zhaozhao asked in confusion, seeing that they were wearing thin clothes and shivering from the cold.

"Hehe, I've slept all day. If I sleep any longer, I'll count sheep at night. I have nothing to do at home, so I'll come and keep you company." Niu Xiaoyun replied with a smile.

"Han Zhaozhao, your family stewed meat last night, and the aroma filled the alley so well that people couldn't eat. Did you have guests?" Xue Ying asked.

Wow! How come people nowadays have such a good nose? Is it a police dog?

“There are no guests, it’s because our meat coupons for this month are about to expire, and my grandma is buying meat to make oil!

Is the smell really that strong? It actually affected the entire alley’s meals?” Han Zhaozhao pretended to be dumb.

"Don't listen to Xue Ying's nonsense, it's not that serious! But Grandma Han's cooking skills are really amazing, the food really tastes delicious.

It may also be because it’s the end of the month and everyone is craving for meat!

By the way, Zhaozhao, you know that the whole Qian family has taken medicine to kill insects. The children are afraid to go to the public toilet in the alley today.

Oh my god, I went to check it out too. There were so many big worms in the pit, and they were all alive!

It's so scary. How do you think they steal food from people's stomachs?

My mother said, no wonder the three brothers of the Qian family had stomachs like bottomless pits and could never feel full no matter how much food they ate, it turned out that all the food was eaten up by the worms in their stomachs.

I heard from Xiao Sanzi's mother that she and his father also took anthelmintic medicine and had worms in their stomachs.

Although not as many as the three brothers, there were still quite a few. "While speaking, Niu Xiaoyun gritted her teeth and glared, pulling out the waves. That expression was hard to describe!

Xue Ying also smiled and said: "You don't know, this afternoon my brother took a stick to pick it out and saw that the worm was as hard as a rock and couldn't be smashed even with a brick!

No wonder they say it can bite through a person's stomach and intestines!"

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!" Han Zhaozhao had a weak stomach and really couldn't stand the scenes described by the two children. She felt so nauseous that she kept dry heaving. She ran to the door and vomited several mouthfuls of sour water before she stopped.

"Please, can you please stop talking? Why don't you find it disgusting?" Han Zhaozhao's face turned pale and she pleaded weakly.

"That's right, Xue Ying, stop talking. You brothers and sisters are really not afraid of being disgusting. You dare to bring out anything to see!" Niu Xiaoyun's reaction was not as strong as Han Zhaozhao's. Seeing Han Zhaozhao vomited, she stopped Xue Ying from saying anything further.

"What's the big deal? We're still digging earthworms for fun. This thing looks almost the same as an earthworm!

My brother also plays with bean worms, crickets, grasshoppers, and dung cockroaches. They are all small insects. What's there to be afraid of?

Han Zhaozhao, you were just too spoiled by your grandmother. My mother once said that if we were thrown into the mountains together, you would definitely not live longer than me.

Fortunately, we are in a new society now. If it were not before liberation, someone like you would definitely not be able to live well in an ordinary family like us.”

What kind of fallacy is this? A summer insect cannot talk about ice, a well frog cannot talk about the sea, and an ordinary person cannot talk about the Tao!

Han Zhaozhao waved her hands, indicating that she didn't want to talk and she wanted to be quiet!

But she couldn't cover Xue Ying's mouth, "My mother said that she would wait for my father to get off work in the evening and discuss with him about buying medicine to kill the insects.

Xiao Sanzi's mother said that deworming medicine is not expensive, tastes sweet, like candy, and is sold in grocery stores.

My brother asked my mother for two cents this afternoon and went to buy some food.

I saw it, it’s red and green, very pretty, and it shouldn’t be bad to eat.”

Xue Ying tried hard to hold back the saliva welling up in her mouth, making it clear that she wanted to eat too.

There are three girls in the Xue family, and her brother is the only boy, so her brother gets to choose the best things first.

Only the things her brother really didn't want would get into the hands of the three sisters, but supplies were scarce and her family basically never had any extra.
