It rained most of the night.

It wasn't until four or five in the morning that the sound of rain outside the window gradually became smaller.

So when I woke up in the morning, it was all foggy.

The entire small basin in the mountains where Chenwangzhuang is located was shrouded in heavy fog.

No one can be seen beyond five steps.

After Chen Ling had breakfast and had nothing to do, he went to Wang Lixian's house to borrow a cart.

After the people from the forest seed station deliver the fruit saplings, they can drive the oxen to pull them.

The cart owned by Wang Lixian's family is quite old. His family does not raise any livestock, so the cart is not used very much, so it looks even more outdated.

It's incomparable to Wang Laishun's.

But Chen Ling was tired of dealing with people like Wang Laishun's mother-in-law, so she didn't bother to borrow it there.

On the way back after borrowing a scooter.

I met a group of people rushing out of the village to build a greenhouse for Chen Erzhu.

The heavy rain last night caused the greenhouse frame that had not been completely fixed yesterday to fall over, and it had to be re-fixed.

Such a big stall is quite a hassle.

So early in the morning, Chen Erzhu shouted several times through the loudspeaker of the village committee, asking people to go there early after eating. He said that the fog was heavy today and it would be harder than before, and he would give the villagers more money.

No, once I heard about the extra money, I went very early.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s heavy fog or not, they say they’ll have to pay more, so we have to do it despite the heavy fog.

"Uncle Sangui, are you going to work?"

Chen Ling parked the cart beside the road to make way for the group of people.

But when I saw an old man walking behind the crowd, my eyes lit up and I hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Who?"

The fog was quite thick, and the old man couldn't see people clearly.

"I am rich."

"Oh, it's Fugui. Are you going to work too? Why didn't I see you a few days ago..."

Chen Sangui is tall and thin. Although his clothes are simple but neat, he is not as slovenly as other old men in the village.

In addition to being clean, the biggest characteristic of this old man is that he walks very fast but speaks very slowly.

As long as you meet him once and say a few words, you will be impressed.

But I have to say that this old man’s carpentry work is so beautiful that people from several nearby villages and even the county town came to look for him.

It became famous twenty years ago.

"I'm not with Erzhu, and I'm still busy with things in the fields. How can I have time to work for him?"

Chen Ling explained and then said: "Uncle Sangui, if you are not busy in a few days, please give me a ride on an ox cart."

"Ox cart?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, your kid bought a little white cow from the market a while ago!"

Chen Sangui smiled.

His granddaughter often goes to Chen Ling's house to play, and when she goes to eat there, she will tell him some interesting things, and he will naturally know about it.

"This thing is easy to handle. It's just a bullock cart. It will be done for you as soon as you say it will be done."

"Wait until this Sunday. After it's done, I'll ask Xizi to call you."

The old man spoke very slowly, but he was a vigorous and resolute person who did things very neatly.

Chen Ling was very surprised when he heard this and gave Chen Sangui a thumbs up and praised Chen Sangui.

He is an old carpenter after all.

"Are there any requirements for wood and size?"

Chen Sangui asked.

"There is no requirement for the wood material. The size should be slightly larger. Uncle Sangui can make the rest as he sees fit."

Chen Ling didn't say much else and just asked the old man to do it based on experience.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go to work first."

"Okay, Uncle Sangui, walk slowly."

…

After Chen Sangui left with a group of people, Chen Ling pushed the cart home and put the cart in the backyard.

It's cloudy today.

The fog still didn't dissipate until about ten o'clock.

Yesterday I made an appointment with the people at the Linmu Seed Station, and they said the fruit saplings would be delivered at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Ling was not in a hurry.

After cleaning up the cow dung in the backyard, I also scrubbed several large water tanks that were upside down in the yard.

Filled it with water, took some fish from the cave, and put them in.

It will be convenient to take when you want to eat fish in the future.

The fish in Dongtian have reproduced twice, and the previous fry have grown into half-sized fish.

Just perfect for making Wang Susu’s favorite fish pot.

Therefore, most of the fish put in large water tanks are this kind of fish, which can be called big or small.

"Let's keep it for now. When the old turtle eggs hatch, we can release two more turtles. You can eat them later if you want."

The old turtles in the cave have been laying eggs for some time. In fact, just two days after Chen Linggang put the male turtles into the cave, they completed mating with the female turtles.

In addition, the cave environment is suitable and contains mysterious substances that are beneficial to their growth.

So the eggs were laid quickly.

Chen Ling counted and there were twenty-two.

I didn't bother to take care of it. I took some water plants from the cave and put them into the water tank. Then I took several bundles of wire ropes coiled into a circle and moved a wooden ladder into the cave.

The vegetables in Dongtian are growing more and more prosperously. The tomato and eggplant plants are almost growing into "small trees", and they are full of fruits. If they are not picked for a day, the branches and vines will droop.

If you can't finish it, it won't be easy to sell.

After all, it’s not always possible to meet someone from the capital like Liu Yinhuan, who is willing to pay for it even if the price is high.

With no other option, Chen Ling prepared to use wire ropes to hang up the branches and vines, or use a wooden stick to place a stone or brick to support the branches and vines to prevent them from hanging down.

Very effective on tomatoes and eggplants.

Cucumbers and beans have vines that can climb even easier. Tie a wire rope between two big trees and it can climb up on its own.

In this way, Chen Ling would have much less worry.

After spending the whole morning tidying up in Dongtian, the small vegetable garden behind the hut became much neater.

"It looks much more pleasing to the eye like this. Otherwise, such a beautiful fairyland would be in such a mess, which would be really annoying..."

Chen Ling muttered to himself with satisfaction, looked at it with a hoe for a while, and then left the cave.

It was almost noon at this time, and the heavy fog still hadn't dispersed, but had only faded a little.

That is, from being unable to see anyone five steps away, to being unable to see anyone ten steps away.

Not much better.

After all, they are a basin in the mountains. The overall terrain is low, and there is no wind or sun. Once the fog starts, it will be difficult to dissipate.

"This guy, if this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to deliver the saplings at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Chen Ling looked around and thought: "I hope the weather will be good tomorrow."

Then I put away the wooden ladder and the unused wire rope, and prepared to go back to the front yard to make lunch.

But before he could step out of the door, two small yellow things jumped down from the tree in front of the courtyard and stopped in front of him.

When Chen Ling saw it, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you two here again?"

It was the two yellow-skinned ones from before that came.

One of these two little things is fat and one is thin. The fat one was almost poisoned to death. The one that came back slowly has been hiding behind the thin one. It secretly glanced at Chen Ling with its big eyes. It wanted to get close to him but couldn't.

Somewhat scared.

The thin one picked up an egg from nowhere. It was about the same size as a chicken egg. The green shell had a light gray tint, so it didn't look like a poultry egg.

She gently placed it in front of him and called him softly.
