Fork demon master in the eyes of monsters

Chapter 232 Grandpa's Willfulness

In the following days, Shuihu and the others did not find any suspicious monsters, and their daily life has almost returned to its original state.

On this day, Chen Chuanwang, together with his grandfather, moved out the empty large water tank from the utility room.

This big water tank is not easy to move, it is not too heavy, but it is not easy to hold, it is a bit laborious.

"Why did Grandpa move this all of a sudden?"

"Your grandma wants to grow a lotus, so I thought of this tank."

"...This tank must be leaking, right?"

If Chen Chuanwang remembers correctly, all the water tanks at home seem to be leaking, even if the water tank in the kitchen is slightly full, the water will seep out, so that the kitchen floor is wet almost every day.

"Just wipe it with cement and it'll be fine."

Grandpa walked into the utility room by himself, threw out a bunch of things, and finally found half a bag of cement in the corner.

"Is this cement still usable? I don't know how long it's been."

"It works, it's fine, it's okay."

There is yellow sand at home. The rooster usually flies out from behind, and the place where it likes to bask in the sun is covered with a layer of yellow sand.

Grandpa dug a shovel, mixed it with cement, added water, and stirred evenly.

When the stirring was almost done, grandpa raised his head and asked, "Did you find the leak?"

"No, you can't see it with your eyes, you have to put water on it to know."

"Then let the water go."

Take a slender blue plastic water pipe, connect one end to the faucet and put the other end in the tank.

Pfft... Whoop whoop!

After leaving it for a while, when the water was almost halfway through, Chen Chuanwang finally saw the water stains on the wall of the outer tank.

"Found it, here it is."

"Keep looking, maybe there are other seams."

"Oh~"

After watching for a while, Chen Chuanwang found a leak.

After confirming, Chen Chuanwang brought a few buckets and scooped out all the water in the tank.

Grandpa wiped the water on the tank wall with a rag, then picked up the tools, and wiped the cracks smoothly.

Afraid that he was not careful enough and missed some spots, grandpa simply wiped it all over from top to bottom.

Grandpa said: "It's almost done, just let it hang out."

"Would you like to take it out to bask in the sun?"

"Can it be exposed to the sun? The cement is not thick enough so it won't get cracked by the sun."

"Then I'll fetch some lotus pods and come back."

When he came to the South Lake, Chen Chuanwang jumped onto the docked stone boat.

It's autumn, and the lotus pods are almost all old and dark, but that also means it's easier to germinate.

Shaking the boat, Chen Chuanwang didn't spend too long picking three dry lotus pods.

Because it is not for eating, there is no need to pick it at all, just pick it nearby.

Back home, Chen Chuanwang processed the lotus seeds according to the appearance in the video, then put them in a large bowl filled with water, and put them on the balcony to receive the sunshine.

When the little kestrel saw the lotus seeds, it thought they were edible. Although they were indeed edible, the best time to eat them had already passed.

It pecked out one, bit it for a long time, tore it for a long time, felt that it hadn't eaten anything, and then felt boring, stuck out its head and drank the water soaked in lotus seeds.

"Don't drink all the water for me." Chen Chuanwang cursed with a smile, and patted Little Kestrel's head.

The little kestrel cooed a few times, its eyes widened. "Didn't you change your nest? Why are you still on the balcony? What if it rains?"

After autumn, there will be some wind and rain almost every night in the middle of the night, and the open-air balcony is not suitable for the little kestrel now.

So Chen Chuanwang built a nest with its few logs, moved it to the next room, and opened the window, leaving a place for the little kestrel to come in and out freely.

But it should be used to it, the little kestrel would always land on the balcony, and then stand at the door or on the window, waiting for Chen Chuanwang to let it in.

The little kestrel's puzzled eyes were so amusing, Chen Chuanwang couldn't help but patted its head again, and carried it back to the room.

After playing with it for a while, Chen Chuanwang went downstairs.

Grandpa asked, "Are the lotus seeds ready?"

"It's done. According to the phone, it should germinate in about a week, but after germination in this weather, whether you can survive is another matter."

"It's okay, even if you can't live now, wait until next spring to get some lotus seeds again."

"I kept a few and put them in a drawer."

Grandpa smiled.

Now there is almost nothing to do except playing mahjong, and grandma just visits every day, and will often bring back some flower seeds or roots from outside, and the planting will be handed over to him.

In the yard at the entrance, there is nothing planted because it is all cement, but the fence in the backyard is full of flowers and plants, growing freely.

I don’t know how many years the cacti were planted, the cement buckets they were planted in were rotten after wind and rain, so that now the roots of the cactus have fallen into the cracks in the wall, which has become a natural thorn to prevent the wall from overturning.

The orange flowers are like Chlorophytum, hanging on the wall and blooming to their heart's content.

The succulent grows randomly, crooked, even if it breaks and falls into the soil, it will take root and sprout.

The aloe vera is emerald green, and there are a few broken places, all of which are the results of my grandma, and I don't know what she did with the aloe vera.

……

The water tank should never be placed in the most conspicuous place in the backyard. If that is the case, it would be too obstructive. Chen Chuanwang and his grandfather moved it to the corner of the wall.

Grandpa said: "I don't know if it will work."

Chen Chuanwang suggested: "Why don't you squeeze some waterproof glue."

"That way you have to spend money, so that should be okay."

It will be time to eat in a while, and grandma came back from the outside. When she washed her hands in the backyard, she saw the water tank and smiled.

"How did you move the water tank out?"

"Isn't this grandpa going to plant lotus for you?" Chen Chuanwang replied supporting her.

"I just said casually, at this time, can Lianzi survive?"

"Who knows, anyway, it's not too much trouble, I'll give you an experiment, if you can't grow it, do it next spring."

Grandma thought that Chen Chuanwang likes to buy things online, so she said: "Don't buy lotus seeds online, just buy them from Dahu."

"Got it, got it."

Chen Chuanwang actually wants to plant water lilies, but since his grandparents don’t want to spend money, he won’t plant them.

Chen Chuanwang said jokingly: "If you want to eat lotus pods next year, there might be some in the tank."

"There is no soil in this jar, so the lotus pods cannot grow."

"Tell me."

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Chen Chuanwang went to the balcony every day to check on the condition of the lotus seeds. Fortunately, all the lotus seeds sprouted, like bean sprouts, slender and slender.

The water tank was also filled with water by the grandfather a few days ago, and Chen Chuanwang directly took the bowl down and poured it all in.

"Okay, perfect!"
