70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 234: Buying a Fan

"Southern fruit? Oh, I see. These are the pits in longan and lychee." Xie Xiaonian looked familiar at first, but after hearing Xu Zhongjun's words, he remembered what it was.

"Yes, it's longan and lychee. I ate them in the south during the war. I thought the flesh on the outside was spoiled. Maybe the seeds inside weren't spoiled, so I brought them back. But how do you know it's longan and lychee?" nuclear, we don’t have any in the north,” Xu Zhongjun said.

Xie Xiaonian knew that she had betrayed her as soon as she heard it, so she quickly said: "I've seen it in a book before, it looks like it."

Then he changed the subject and said, "Then let's quickly go into the space and try to plant it. The plums from before can be planted, so this one should also be able to grow."

Among the 15 seeds, there were 6 lychee seeds and 9 longan seeds. After Xie Xiaonian entered the space, they were all planted at the foot of the mountain. If they survived, they would be able to eat fresh longan and lychees in a few days.

Now that they have entered the space, the two are going to have lunch in the space.

During the meal, Xie Xiaonian joked, "It's a good thing you didn't wear a military uniform to go to the county today, otherwise you, a young officer, picking up bad fruits by the side of the road would be worthless."

"What's the matter? Today, many fellow villagers gathered by the side of the road to watch because they had never seen it before. Many people picked it up." Xu Zhongjun said nonchalantly.

A bunch of people are watching the broken fruit, and picking up a few from time to time, this picture is enough to have a "taste".

But the space is indeed powerful enough. When Xie Xiaonian entered the space at night, all the seeds had grown into trees half the height of a person. Although the tree is not very big now, as long as it survives, it will sooner or later grow up and bear fruit thing.

In this way, on the fifth night after the seeds were planted, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun finally ate fresh lychees and longan.

Moreover, the longan and lychees grown in the space are big and plump, and they are even more delicious than what Xie Xiaonian ate before. As expected, the products produced in the space must be high-quality goods.

Xie Xiaonian also took the opportunity to dry some longan and save it for cooking porridge or soup later.

After eating, Xie Xiaonian and Xu Zhongjun planted more than a dozen of these two fruits on the mountain, so that the species on the mountain would be enriched, and he couldn't finish eating them.

After finishing, Xie Xiaonian said: "Since any fruit can grow in the space, regardless of the season, then if you encounter something that doesn't exist in the space, get some seeds back."

"Well, I see, don't worry."

"Especially oranges. I've only seen oranges in cans before, but never fresh ones. If you meet them, bring back a few. I'll try to make canned oranges too. And oranges, I read that oranges are delicious."

Oranges were one of Xie Xiaonian's favorite fruits in his previous life, but the original owner had never seen them before, so it can only be said that he had seen them in books.

"I've seen oranges before, but we don't have many here. When I meet them, I'll definitely get some for you. Oranges are easy to find. During the Chinese New Year, sometimes there are some for sale in the supply and marketing cooperatives." Xu Zhongjun said.

"That's great, aren't those oranges delicious?" Xie Xiaonian asked pretending not to know because he was doing a full set of plays.

"Well, it's delicious, sweet and sour, and smells delicious, you should like the taste." Xu Zhongjun replied.

"Oh, I can't wait to taste it now." Xie Xiaonian said drooling.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian's gluttonous appearance, Xu Zhongjun smiled and didn't answer, but he was determined in his heart that he must get the seeds as soon as possible, he had never seen his little daughter-in-law so greedy for such a thing.

Therefore, no matter whether Xu Zhongjun is on a mission or going out in the future, when he sees that there is no food in the space, he will try his best to bring some seeds or saplings back, and he has gradually developed a habit!

By the end of June, the sun was even hotter, so Xie Xiaonian could hardly go out unless he had to do the necessary work.

After the summer vacation, Guoan and the others stayed at home every time they came to play. At least they could wash their hands and face without being exposed to the sun when it was hot.

Although it is relatively cooler on the mountain, the heat on the way there is unbearable. It is better to do less activities at home. I don’t know how the soldiers can bear it during training in such a hot day.

And Zhang Chunping also ran to her all day long, telling Xiao Nian different gossips every day, who in the whole compound ate meat one day, whose child was beaten, whose husband and wife quarreled, etc. After touching the door, Xie Xiaonian felt that she could become a spy.

Zhongjun was rarely free at noon that day. When he came back for dinner, he said to Xie Xiaonian: "A few days ago, Feng Yu asked his friend to get two electric fans. His wife will bring them from the county for dinner today. Let's Two families and one family."

"Really? Why didn't you say it two days ago!" Xie Xiaonian replied in surprise.

"Of course it's true. Didn't it be confirmed two days ago? I was afraid that if you couldn't get it in the end, you would be disappointed, so I didn't say it. But now it's confirmed, so I'll tell you, wait until the evening When Yu's daughter-in-law comes back, you will be able to see the fan." Xu Zhongjun continued.

"Oh, that's great, I'm so hot today, if I didn't have space, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night." Xie Xiaonian said happily, and then asked: "How much is the fan?"

"53 yuan, although it is a bit expensive, but it can be used for many years, and it is not too expensive on average." Xu Zhongjun said with some distress, this is his almost February salary.

But seeing that Xie Xiaonian was too hot to eat outside every day, he gritted his teeth and bought it.

Xie Xiaonian heard that it was only 53 yuan, which was cheap, so she said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, do you have any money for Feng Yu, if not, I'll give the money to Xiao Xia when I get the fan at night. "

"It has already been given, you can just take the fan at night." Xu Zhongjun said.

Although Xu Zhongjun's salary was handed over to Xie Xiaonian, Xie Xiaonian didn't hide it, and locked it in a drawer. Xu Zhongjun also had the key, so he could take it whenever he wanted.

"Yeah, that's great, I won't be afraid of the heat anymore." Xie Xiaonian said happily.

Although the fan is not as cool as the air conditioner, Xie Xiaonian is very satisfied to have a fan at this time.

Yuan Xiaoxia took her son back to the city to live after the summer vacation at school. Zhang Fengyu's family conditions are relatively good, and his parents are not low-ranking members of the army.

Xie Xiaonian doesn't know exactly how old it is, but I heard that Zhang Fengyu's parents have a fan, TV, and seem to have a refrigerator. Now that they have these household appliances at home, one can imagine how capable his parents are.

Therefore, when Yuan Xiaoxia was on vacation, she took her son back to live with her in-laws, saving her from suffering in the army.

Although she would sometimes come back to see Zhang Fengyu, she usually came back by the last bus, and it was around 6 o'clock when she got home, so Xie Xiaonian did whatever she had to do after eating, and only waited until the time came to hear the voice, and then went to the opposite door Take the fan.

Xie Xiaonian was too hot to move in the afternoon, and Guoan and the others didn't come to the house, so he took out a few pieces of watermelon and some other fruits from the space, and ate the fruits while fanning the pancakes that were taking a nap.

The temperature in the space is much lower than the outside, so after the fruit was taken out of the space, it was eaten cold, and Xie Xiaonian didn't eat much at noon, so he ate a lot of fruit in one go, which can be regarded as full.

When the sun went down, Xie Xiaonian, who was playing with pancakes in the living room, heard footsteps going upstairs, and quickly asked Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, see if Xiaoxia is back."

"Yes, sister, she also carried two boxes, which should be fans." Xiaobai also knew about the purchase of a fan by the other side at noon. Although he didn't know what a fan was, he still remembered the name.

"Oh, that's great, you're looking at the pancakes, I'll take them!" After saying that, Xie Xiaonian went out directly.

As soon as Xie Xiaonian opened the door, she saw Yuan Xiaoxia walking upstairs with two wooden boxes, her son following behind.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaonian hurried forward to take the box from Yuan Xiaoxia's hand. Although it was made of wood, it was fortunately not too heavy.

"Xiao Xia, are you tired, come into my house and drool."

Because Yuan Xiaoxia was very hot and didn't know if there was any water to drink at home, so she took her son directly to Xie Xiaonian's house, and planned to wait for a while before returning home.

Taking the bus on this hot day is really a pain.

After entering the house, Xie Xiaonian put the box on the ground, quickly poured 2 mugs of cold water for the two of them, and said, "It's very hot in the car on this day."

"It's just a bit hot, the roof of the car was soaked in the sun, but luckily we came out late, otherwise it would have been even hotter." Yuan Xiaoxia said after drinking most of the tank of water in one go.

"Hurry up and fan them to cool down." After speaking, he handed the fans to the two of them.

After the two of them had cooled down and recovered, Yuan Xiaoxia said: "I just got this fan today, quickly take it apart and plug it in for a try."

Then, together with Xie Xiaonian, she stepped forward and opened the two wooden boxes.

Because the box was made of thin wood, it was fastened with a knob on the outside, like a cabinet at home, so after untying the rope tied on the outside, the two of them opened it in a few clicks.

The fan is a Watson brand, with a light green base and a white knob on it, with several gears marked around it. The fan blades are similar to the ones Xie Xiaonian has seen in her previous life, except that there is a big gap between the wires on the fan cover. An adult's finger can be stuffed in, and it looks a little dangerous.

After Xie Xiaonian plugged in the fan, he found that although the fan looked small, the wind speed was quite strong and it was very cool.

After trying both, Xie Xiaonian said with a smile after finding no problem, "We are really stupid, we just left the fan on and kept using it."

"That's right, I didn't notice it unless you said it, hahaha." Yuan Xiaoxia also said with a smile.

This is also what the two of them are used to. When it's hot, they think about fanning, instead of turning on the air conditioner first thing when they get home like in later generations.

Seeing Xie Xiaonian fiddling with the fan at this time, Panbing was already very anxious, stood up by herself, and threw herself on the fan tremblingly.
