Chapter 1287 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (14)

 The extremely cold weather is not all about wind and snow all year round. There are also times when the sun shines, but the sunshine is very weak and the amount of melted snow is very limited.

 But with the intelligent lighting system, even light sunlight brings unlimited hope to people who live underground.

Xu Yin’s four children also gathered on the garden patio to bask in the sun while doing farm work.

"I had a very scary dream last night." Xu Xi squatted in the field, pulling weeds from the vegetable field. "I dreamed that the ghost came to catch us, and he was like this..." She made a look that she thought was scary. ,"Scared me!"

Xu Dong laughed at her: "Xixi is a coward. Aunt Xiao Zhu said that there are no ghosts in this world!"

“Nonsense!” Xu Xi retorted, “The nurse who gave me the vaccine said there are no gods.”

　　　…”

Xu Dong thought about it and seemed to be right: "Okay, okay, but there is nothing to be afraid of ghosts! Next time, I will hit them with left hooks and right hooks until they scream."

When Xu Yin heard Xu Xi talk about ghosts, she remembered that she had recorded a ghost movie with a universal voice actor that night to scare the gangsters, and seemed to have forgotten to take it out of the tape recorder.

She accidentally pressed the play button when she went to get it, and horror music and ghostly laughter suddenly sounded in the bunker:

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification

 “Hehehe—”

　　　　　　　——

 “Ahhhh!”

Xu Dong jumped up in fright and hugged Xu Xi, who was beside him, shivering: "Ghost! There is a ghost!"

　　　…”

　　　…”

　　　…”

Who said you should use left hooks and right hooks to make ghosts run away?

 …

Knowing that it was a mistake, Xu Dong’s courage to run away from home came back, and he could do it again:

“I just said this is not a real ghost. I am not afraid of real ghosts!”

　　　…”

 Yes, yes, everything you said is right!

"Wow! The vegetables are blooming! It's so delicious!" Xu Xi pulled the grass and found a few plants with small white flowers in the pumpkin patch next to her. She waved to everyone happily, "Come here quickly, there are some beautiful things here." Stuffed flowers!"

"Let me see! Let me see!" Xu Dong leaned over and found a few small white flowers. He looked away in disappointment, "Aren't they just the little chrysanthemums that the dean's mother likes to make tea with? The boss behind the courtyard wall said Cong, what’s there to see?”

"I just like it!"

 Xu Xi said, reaching out to pick it off, but Xu Yin held him back.

These are the strawberry seeds she secretly mixed in the seed bag and they have bloomed. Don't wait until they don't bear fruit and your friends will be shocked.

If you only plant the seeds collected by the dean’s mother, you will always be pragmatic vegetables such as cabbage, radishes, pumpkins, and potatoes.

 So she mixed a lot of herbal and fruit seeds into it, including watermelon, melon, strawberry, blueberry, cherry tomato, etc., hoping that her friends could grow a variety of vegetables and fruits with their own hands.

 These two plants are obviously strawberries.

Xu Xi tilted his head and asked her: "Yinyin, why are you dragging me? I'm going to pick flowers. Can I give you one?"

“This is not a daisy.” Fortunately, my best partner Ning Jin came over and took a look and said.

He had observed the daisies that the dean's mother was drying before, and they were obviously not the same species as this little white flower, so he took the "Encyclopedia of Plants" that Xu Yin had given them as a reward a few days ago and compared it page by page.

 “Found it! This is a strawberry flower!”

 “Strawberry flowers? Are they edible strawberries?”

"Well, the book says that strawberries bloom first and then bear fruit. Each flower will bloom with 6 melons. The melons are white and the center of the flower is yellow. After the melons fall off, the fruit in the center of the flower will slowly grow. , turning red means the strawberries are ripe.

 “What is Huagua?” Xu Dong asked Xu Yin’s same confusion.

 She looked over at the "Encyclopedia of Plants" he had turned to the page of strawberries, oh, it was petals. And the heart of flowers in his mouth is actually the stamens.

　This is a big word boss!

However, he is already much better than children of the same age. Xu Dong and Xu Xi can barely recognize a few words, but he can almost read the entire "Encyclopedia of Plants". When Xu Dong and Xu Xi heard that this was strawberry, they went crazy with joy:

 “It’s a strawberry! Sweet strawberry!”

 “Oh oh oh! We have strawberries to eat!”

“Is it a small wild strawberry, or the big strawberry that the nurse aunt treated us to?”

“I love eating both big strawberries and wild strawberries!” Xu Dong announced, “Strawberries are the most delicious fruit I have ever eaten!”

"I said this is not a small chrysanthemum!" Xu Xi patted his chest, "Fortunately I didn't pick it."

 Xu Yin: Is it okay now?

Since the strawberries have bloomed, the friends have become more motivated and report to the vegetable patch on time every morning. The attraction of the small fish and shrimps in the pond next door has also weakened for them.

 Pluck the grass for a while and look up at the strawberry flowers. Loosen the soil for a while and look up at the strawberry flowers. Even if you water the strawberries, you will also feed the strawberries a few more mouthfuls.

“Strawberry, strawberry, why don’t you bear fruit yet?”

“Strawberry, strawberry, grow up quickly!”

 “When can I eat strawberries and strawberries from you?”

 Xu Yin: “…”

If you can understand what people say, strawberries are most likely unwilling to bear fruit. I hope they will only bloom but not bear fruit for a lifetime, so that you can see whether you can eat them or not.

After staying in the bunker for a long time, Xu Dong and Xu Xi, who are lively by nature, inevitably wanted to go up and have a look.

That afternoon, a few people played with rolling hoops for a while and got very hot all over. Xu Dong took off his thin cotton coat and looked up at the ceiling. He suddenly thought: "Brother Ning, is it really cold outside? I'm wearing Can the big cotton-padded jacket go out and play for a while?”

 Xu Xi: “Brother Ning, let’s go build a snowman together!”

  Xu Dong: “Brother Ning must want to have a snowball fight as much as I do.”

Ning Jin is still a child after all, and she is a bit ready to move after being worn down by them.

Mainly because after living in the bunker for a long time, I gradually forgot the bone-piercing cold of minus ten or twenty degrees. I hesitated and looked at Xu Yin: "Yin Yin, do you want to go up and play?"

Xu Yin didn’t care, she was wearing a thermostat.

Children are very curious and will definitely rack their brains and think of ways to go if they are not allowed to go. If you go there, you might be so cold that you run back before you even start playing.

 “Okay.” She nodded.

 Xu Dong and Xu Xi cheered:

 “Oh! You can go up and play!”

 “I want to build a snowman.”

 “I want to have a snowball fight.”

“How about building a snowman first and then having a snowball fight?”

"Alright alright…"

 Xu Dong took a step back. Who said he was a little man?

The four children were fully dressed and went up to the transition area on the first floor. They excitedly opened the bunker entrance and exit in the stairwell and couldn't wait to go out to play. However, the cold air coming from the pavement made them tremble all over.

 “A sneeze!”

 “His—it’s so cold! I’m freezing to death!”

Children in orphanages have no down jackets to withstand the extreme cold. Even the warmest winter clothes are just cotton-padded jackets of ordinary thickness, which cannot withstand the severe cold of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.

As Xu Yin expected, in less than three minutes, let alone building snowmen and having snowball fights, before they even reached the yard and touched the snow, the friends hunched their necks and hid in the bunker like quails.

“It’s so cold outside, but it’s still warm here!”

 “I never want to go out again!”

"Me too."

Xu Yin: I bet you will want to go up and watch it again within a month.
