In the age of rebirth, I became popular in the pastoral live broadcast

In the center of the front yard, two tall persimmon trees, like two giant open umbrellas, cover the pond in a lush foliage, adding a bit of comfortable coolness to the hot summer day. The wind blows from time to time. The rustle of green leaves, the swaying posture of reeds, and the fragrance of blooming wild chrysanthemums make this world more comfortable and beautiful.

Definitely a great place to cool off.

Huo Minglou sat on the stone bench and took something out of the canvas bag, including snacks from the department store and three books. Finally, he took out two cylindrical things and handed them to Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan respectively.

Neither of them knew each other, so they held it in their hands and looked at it curiously.

Ling Yuan couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Huo, what is this?"

Huo Minglou said, "This is called a kaleidoscope. It is an optical toy. A brightly colored object is placed at one end of the cylinder. A prism is placed in the middle of the cylinder. The other end is sealed with a holed glass, and then the object is viewed through the hole. , you can observe all kinds of beautiful images. Well, you two try it..."

He patiently explained and taught the two how to operate.

The two brothers followed what he said with great interest, and they saw a scene that made them feel very magical. They were pleasantly surprised, and then they turned carefully, so the pictures inside kept changing, causing them to exclaim again and again. , as if opening the door to a new world.

When Song Hongguo came over with the brewed milk tea, the two little guys were pestering Huo Minglou excitedly and talking about the principle of the kaleidoscope. "The principle lies in the reflection of light. Mirrors are used to reflect light to form images. Just look into the eye of the tube." Look, a pattern will appear. Turn it a little, and another pattern will appear. Keep turning, and the pattern is constantly changing, so it is called kaleidoscope."

The two brothers listened very carefully and raised new questions from time to time, "Where did the pattern in it come from?"

Huo Minglou slowly explained, "It is made by reflection from glass mirrors. It is made up of three glass mirrors to form a prism, and then something is placed on one end. When these things are reflected by the three glass mirrors, corresponding patterns will appear. .”

The two of them seemed to understand, and sighed, "The person who invented this toy is really powerful..."

Huo Minglou said with a smile, "Actually, this imaging principle has been mastered by the ancients. There is a saying in "Zhuangzi" that "jianzhi comes from water", that is, using still water as a mirror. But the real kaleidoscope toy is a Scottish physicist. It was invented by scientist David Brewster, and our country’s folk have had this kind of toy for a long time, and they are innovative and have produced many new types of kaleidoscopes.”

When the two of them heard this, they couldn't help but sigh. Ling Zhi asked thoughtfully, "If you put different things inside, you can get different patterns, right?"

Huo Minglou nodded approvingly, "Yes, this choice of "core" is the best way to experience the fun of making a kaleidoscope. The materials are very wide, such as stained glass, colorful bird feathers, various dried flowers, etc., anything that can Any item that comes to mind can be used as a beautiful pattern in the kaleidoscope. You can find each item and try it out, and operate it yourself. It is far more intuitive and interesting than how many times I have said it..."

The brothers' eyes lit up when they heard this, "Can we do it too?"

Huo Minglou looked at the two of them with eyes full of encouragement and affirmation, "Of course, I brought some materials. You can also take apart the finished product and study it yourself before doing it. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."

After hearing this, the two of them were immediately eager to give it a try, but they were afraid of breaking it, so they felt reluctant and hesitant for a while.

Huo Minglou took out other materials and pointed them to them one by one. Finally, he said, "Go boldly and do it. Don't ruin it, and don't be afraid of failure. The most important thing is that you find fun in it. If you want to study by the way, Knowledge is the icing on the cake, as for the rest, I will give you the full details."

After hearing this, the brothers felt completely at ease and couldn't wait to start taking action. However, neither of them opened the finished product, not because they were afraid of breaking it, but because it was a gift from Huo Minglou and they wanted to keep it intact. Keep it intact as a souvenir.Huo Minglou watched the two men doing it, but did not help. He only occasionally reminded them, "In addition to what I just mentioned, you can also put in tightly tied filaments, horse hair, and various spiral and curved small things. In this way, when the kaleidoscope rotates, it will be like watching a wonderful dance performance. Of course, the difficulty level is slightly higher. Once you are familiar with it, you can try it again."

"Uh-huh……"

The two brothers were so energetic that they responded so hurriedly that they didn't even bother to drink the milk tea that Song Hongguo brought over. You know, they had been thinking about this sip very much in the past.

Song Hongguo handed a glass to Huo Minglou without urging or disturbing him.

There were small pearl dumplings in the milk tea, and using a reed as a straw was not easy to suck into the mouth, so Song Hongguo served it in a ceramic cup with a more delicate long-handled spoon inside, just like drinking coffee.

Huo Minglou took it, lowered his head and sniffed it. After taking a sip, he stirred it with a spoon, dug out some pearls and ate them. His look of carefully savoring the pearls and his elegant posture made him feel like he was eating a French meal. .

Song Hongguo asked, "How does it taste?"

Huo Minglou did not hesitate to praise her, "The taste is even better than last time, sweet but not greasy, fragrant but not strong, it is really smooth and refreshing when you drink it, the little dumplings inside are like the finishing touch, and your teeth bounce when you eat it, it's very The chewy texture is really amazing.”

Song Hongguo laughed, "Don't drink too much if you like it. Milk tea is very good for satisfying your hunger. Otherwise, I'll make something delicious for lunch and I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it anymore. There are spicy crayfish and pickled fish that you like..."

Huo Minglou's eyes were soft and bright, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, I will digest it later if I do more work."

"We won't cut the wheat today..."

"Then do something else. Is there no other work at home?"

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Song Hongguo didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm. Men, when you are willing to take the initiative to help a woman share the housework, you must not shirk it. If you shirk it a few times, it will not only ruin the fun, but it will also offend him in the future. Enthusiasm reaches out again. Many men do not care about everything at home and are the boss. Most of them are women who are used to it. Don't be afraid that he will not do well and refuse. After doing it a few times, you will gain experience. Good men also need to be cultivated and trained. Yes, she is willing to be patient.

The most important thing is that the tone of the two people's relationship must be set from the beginning.

"Then you can help clean up the roofs on both sides of the flat house. Check whether the surrounding fences are strong and the ground. If there are big cracks, it's best to smooth them out. After the wheat is harvested, it will be dried on top."

Huo Minglou immediately responded, "Okay!" After drinking the milk tea, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work.

When Li He and Wang Hongqi saw this, they couldn't stay idle and hurried forward to help.

The three men worked, and the project was a bit big. In the end, not only did they smooth out the cracks and potholes on the flat roof, they also repaired the exterior walls of the main rooms, and even... Even the tiles on the roof were carefully inspected. There is a lot of rain in the summer, so I was worried that some of them were broken and water would seep in.
