In the next half month, Zhang Jiayi was so busy that she lived and ate on the construction site. She only went home every three or four days to take a shower and change clothes.
Zhang Hao is also not idle here.
Growing mushrooms requires a large amount of sawdust, cottonseed hulls, wheat bran, rice bran and straw and other raw materials; raising earthworms is much simpler, requiring only feces and silt.
Wheat bran and rice bran are easy to deal with. When purchasing grain before, he purchased hundreds of thousands of tons of each. He said hello to Mayor He and bought back another 30,000 tons from the city, which is enough for several years.
.
As for the other raw materials, after turning the entire Huicheng upside down, I finally got them together.
……
Unconsciously, time slowly came to October 31st, the last day of October.
It is also Halloween in the West.
On this day, Zhang Hao put down all his work and prepared to spend the "last" sunny day with his family. The volcanic ash has drifted to Dianzhou and is expected to arrive in Huicheng this afternoon.
The time for everyone to bask in the sun is running out.
At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hao finished washing, broke into his sons' bedroom, and woke up the two little guys who were still sleeping.
"Wake up, get up."
Big Pudding rubbed his eyes, glanced out the window, and said in a sweet voice: "Dad, it's not daylight yet? How can you run in the dark?"
During this time, no matter it was windy or rainy, the two brothers ran with their father every day, and they were used to running.
"Get dressed quickly. If you don't want to run today, daddy will take you to watch the sunrise."
"Dad, I want to sleep."
Little Pudding said coquettishly in bed.
Zhang Hao rubbed his youngest son's hair and coaxed patiently: "Good boy, I have plenty of time after I want to sleep. If I missed the sunrise today, I will probably have to wait until you become a grandfather next time."
"Little Pudding is going to be a grandpa?"
The little guy instantly showed excitement.
It’s great to be a grandpa. You can eat whatever you want, go wherever you want to play, and the whole family must listen to grandpa.
"Silly boy." Zhang Hao directly lifted the little guy's quilt, "When you become a grandfather, your father will probably be gone, so what's there to be happy about?"
"Dad, why are you not here? Are you going on a business trip again?"
Little Pudding suddenly became nervous.
"Dad is not on a business trip, he is going to heaven to find your mother." Zhang Hao explained casually.
"I'm going too."
Little Pudding immediately shouted loudly.
"And me."
Big Pudding's tone was full of anxiety.
Zhang Hao shook his head. His sons were still young and he couldn't explain it now, so he had to say perfunctorily:
"Whoever wakes up first will be taken there."
"Wow, brother, please don't rob me."
Little Pudding climbed out of bed.
Big Pudding hesitated for a moment, and in the end his movements were only a little slower than his younger brother. The two brothers quickly got dressed one after the other.
"Dad, I'm dressed."
"I'm dressed too."
The two brothers raised their hands almost simultaneously.
Zhang Hao praised each one, then found two coats from the closet and helped his sons put them on. It was still a bit cold in Huicheng in November.
After getting dressed, the time has come to 6:15, and the sun will rise in fifteen minutes.
He immediately took his sons to the wall.
This is the best place to watch the sunrise.
"Uncle, do you want to watch the sunrise too?"
Kevin quickly said hello.
The three brothers and sisters came here before six o'clock.
Zhang Hao nodded and handed the eldest son into Emma's hands, while he held the younger son.
Although there is a guardrail at the top of the wall, it is still a bit dangerous, especially since my youngest son is very active, so I can only feel at ease if I hold him in person.
At 6:31, the fiery red sun slowly rose from the horizon, emitting a faint dazzling white light due to the clouds.
Zhang Hao couldn't help but close his eyes and feel the warmth with his skin.
Little Pudding followed suit and closed his eyes, but kept waving his little hands, as if trying to catch the ethereal sunshine.
Kevin on the side was taking a photo of the sunrise with his camera, taking hundreds of photos in a row.
"Uncle, can I take a group photo for you?"
"Okay, let's go to the north to shoot. It's too narrow here and we can't get the best results."
Zhang Hao put his youngest son on his head and trotted towards the north.
"Daddy is so fast!"
Little Pudding hugged her father's neck tightly, her little face full of excitement.
Soon, the group came to the northeast corner of the wall. Zhang Hao held his eldest son with his left hand and his younger son with his right hand. The father and son took dozens of group photos in different poses.
Finally, Kevin felt it was not enough, so he invited the rest of the family to take some "family photos" together.
After Li Dajuan saw the photo, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that the boss and his family didn't come, otherwise our family would be together."
The polar night is approaching, and what she is most worried about right now is her eldest daughter's family. She should have forced them to come together, but it was the old man who interrupted her.
"Mom, didn't eldest sister say that she would move here after the Chinese New Year?"
Zhang Hao quickly comforted him.
Since the eruption of Sulfonite Volcano, the eldest sister and her family have made up their mind to move here. However, the couple cannot go anywhere for the time being due to work reasons.
After all, under the current state of emergency, leaving one's post without permission is equivalent to deserting. It is estimated that we will have to wait until this wave passes before we can resign as we wish.
There is a high probability that we will have to wait until May or June next year.
"It's all your dad's fault. If you had listened to me..."
Li Dajuan couldn't help but start nagging.
Zhang Chongxin felt a little guilty, but he still said stubbornly: "Isn't it just two months late? What could happen? Just worry about it."
"If you do something wrong, why don't you let others say yes?"
Li Dajuan was immediately furious.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao stuffed his youngest son into his mother's arms: "Mom, they haven't brushed their teeth and washed their faces yet. You should take them back quickly!"
"Aren't you going down? Breakfast is ready."
Li Dajuan's attention was indeed diverted.
"I won't eat, I have no appetite."
Zhang Hao shook his head.
At this moment, his mood is heavy. He doesn't want to do anything right now, he just wants to bask in the sun for a while longer.
"What can you do without eating? I will help you make a bowl of spicy soup later. Spicy soup is the most appetizing."
Li Dajuan naturally saw that her son had something on his mind.
Zhang Hao couldn't resist anymore, so he could only nod his head and said:
"That's okay. Once it's done, let Kevin bring it up, and I won't go down."
Li Dajuan immediately put her grandson down, then pulled her son aside and carefully advised:
"Xiao Hao, please don't do anything stupid?"
Zhang Hao suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Mom, where are you always thinking about? I can't think about it until I'm full."
"Then why are you acting weird today?"
"Mom, I'm not kidding you. After you and my dad finish eating, remember to come out and bask in the sun. After today, you won't be able to bask in the sun anymore."
"Is it really that serious?"
Li Dajuan couldn't help but frowned.
"Well, not necessarily. As long as you can live over a hundred years old, you might still have a chance."
Zhang Hao tried to comfort him.
"A hundred years old?" Li Dajuan shook his head, "Mom will be satisfied if she can live to see brothers Big Pudding and Little Pudding get married."
