Super Orchard

Chapter 227 Skating
It was mid-November when the oranges and grapefruits were all planted. Although the temperature here in Jinquan Village was not as cold as in January, it was still more than ten degrees below zero at night, and hovered around zero degrees during the day.

Such a cold temperature is logically not suitable for planting fruit trees, but it is different with a greenhouse, because the insulation effect is very good. When there is light during the day, the temperature in the greenhouse is around ten degrees, and it is also at night. Several degrees above zero, this temperature can completely guarantee the survival of orange grapefruit and other fruit trees.

As for the newly planted lotus mist that has better temperature requirements, because there are double-layer insulation greenhouses and an automatic heating system, the temperature is higher, and the temperature is more than ten degrees at night, which can fully meet the needs of lotus mist. growth needs.

In each greenhouse, there is a scene of hot springs like spring and summer, but outside, it is another scene of ice and snow.

The small river to the east of the village was originally not wide. When winter comes, the water level will drop a lot. At this time, only five or six meters wide river remains, and it is all covered by thick ice.

From a distance, the whole small river looks like a long ice belt, shining in the sunlight. This ice belt is near the orange greenhouse, and a small water turning station has been established. There are two The high-power water pump is connected to the drip irrigation system inside the greenhouse to continuously provide sufficient water for the fruit trees in the greenhouse.

Outside the overturned water station, two dark pipes are connected under the ice layer. There is running water there, and it will not freeze all year round. Only the water layer on the surface of the small river will freeze.

Shen Yangguang was now on the bank of the river, looking at the frozen river, suddenly remembered the scene of playing on the ice when he was a child.

In that era, every household lacked places to play, and children like Shen Yang could find things to play anywhere.

For example, in this small river, in summer, it is a natural paradise for children to take a bath to cool off and catch fish and shrimp. In winter, the small river becomes an excellent place for children to skate.

Just when Shen Yangguang was thinking back to his childhood, he suddenly saw a few children in the distance walking on the ice surface of the small river pulling an ice cart. Shen Yangguang had played with that kind of ice cart when he was a child, and he would also make it himself.

The easiest way is to install two wooden strips at the bottom of a medium-length bench. Nail the wooden strips to the legs of the bench. steel wire to reduce friction.

In addition, this self-made ice car is also equipped with two poles, which are used to insert into the snow to accelerate or adjust the direction of advancement, just like when skiing.

Not long after, a few children skating with an ice cart in the distance came to the shed. Among these children, there were men and women, and they were having a great time. It's non-stop, so lively.

Nowadays, with the development of the times, the living standards of the villagers have improved a lot, and every household has better conditions. There are also a lot fewer people skating on the ice as before. For example, today, there are only a few people. You must know that when Shen Yangguang was a child, dozens of children, half-children and even adults played here on this small river every day.

Suddenly a clear and somewhat shy voice sounded: "Hello, Boss Shen!"

Shen Yangguang followed the voice and found that it turned out to be the tallest of these children, who looked like a primary school student, and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded at what he said.

He felt very strange that such a small kid called Shen Yangguang his boss. He took a closer look and found that kid had seen it before. He seemed to be the kid of an employee in his company, so he smiled and said, "What is the name Shen Yang?" Boss? You are not an adult. You can just call me brother."

The little boy's cheeks were a little flushed, he didn't know if he was blown by the cold wind or he was a little embarrassed, and said coyly, "My mother said so when she let me see you."

Shen Yangguang also didn't want to discuss these too mundane things with the child. Seeing that the little boy's ice cart was pretty good, he said, "Who made your ice cart? It looks very good!"

The little boy said confidently: "My grandfather made this. My ice cart runs the fastest among us!"

Shen Yangguang touched his pocket, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and said, "I'll give you some pocket money, can you lend me the ice cart to play for a while?"

The little boy suddenly became entangled, he was reluctant to part with his ice cart, and remembered his family's teaching not to take other people's money casually, but seeing the bright red banknote, he couldn't refuse it, it was almost hard for him to get pocket money with such a large denomination , except for the New Year's New Year's money that is so big.

After a battle between heaven and man, the little boy finally made up his mind to "rent" his beloved ice cart to Shen Yangguang.

This ice cart is not an ordinary simple structure. It can be seen that the little boy's grandfather has spent a lot of thought in the process of making it. Not only is the skeleton structure strong, but a soft cushion is tied to the seat above.

Shen Guangguang sat on it, raised his feet and put them on the wooden footboards below, held the pole with both hands, pushed back against the ice surface, and the ice car drove forward quickly.

During this process, he kept using the pole to accelerate and control the direction of travel, so that the speed of the ice car became faster and faster, which made Shen Yangguang very addicted.

Seeing Shen Yangguang taking the lead, the other children immediately started their cars and chased after Shen Yangguang. However, Shen Yangguang's arm strength was many times stronger than these children, so he kept leaving them far behind.

Huang Weicheng, who had not long returned to his greenhouse, also heard noises coming from the entrance of the greenhouse. He walked to the bank of the river and saw that Shen Yangguang and a group of kids were driving an ice car race. , grabbed the arm of the child in the car closest to him, and said, "Come, come, let uncle play too."

The head of the kid who was trotting all the way to cheer and cheer, that is, the half-sized kid whose ice car was confiscated by Shen Yangguang, saw this, waved the hundred yuan bill in his hand and said: "It costs money to play our ice car, this is Sunshine The pocket money my brother gave me."

In this way, the little boy who was about to give up his beloved ice cart due to Huang Weicheng's lustful power also held onto the ice cart tightly, as if he had to spend money if he wanted to play.

Huang Weicheng didn't care about this, he wanted to pick up the child, grabbed the car and ran away, but Shen Yangguang drew an arc on the ice in front of him and turned back, and said, "Brother Cheng, why are you still bullying the child?" what?"

Huang Weicheng suddenly felt that his face was dull, and said with a smile: "I'm not bullying, I'm just preparing to pay." While talking, he took out money, took out a ten-yuan note and said, "I didn't bring that much money, Just play for a while, come down quickly and use the money to buy candy."

Seeing that the money was only one-tenth of what Shen Yangguang gave, the little boy was a little unhappy at once. Seeing this, Huang Weicheng stuffed ten yuan into the little boy's hand, then picked up the little boy lazily and put him on the shore , forcibly rented his ice car, and played on the ice, happily like a child in his 40s and [-]s.
