While talking, the group of people walked to the area where Chen Youkang and his bodyguards and workers were logging.
A second tree house is going to be built here.
Chen Youkang has worked in the lumberyard for many years. Not only does he have rich experience in logging, he is also good at selecting materials. He knows at a glance which trees are suitable for lumber and which books can only be used as firewood. The cut wood has to be left for a period of time because of its high moisture content.
They are first piled in a temporary wood storage shed and then dried and dehydrated before being ground into boards for building tree houses.
Seeing that Chen Youkang was concentrating on picking and cutting trees, Lu Chixiao did not go over. He only introduced to the principal that this was a professional lumberjack hired by the child's mother from the Northeast.
"Oh, he is Chen Xingshan's father, right? I heard Teacher Xu mention it. This kid's grades are really good, but it's a pity that he is only in the second grade of junior high school."
Principal Chi has always paid more attention to children with good grades. Although Chen Youyou has just arrived, he ranked first in grade after two unit tests. He can't wait to see his college entrance examination results.
But there is no point in being anxious. I am only in the second grade of junior high school and will take the high school entrance examination next year. It is still several years before the college entrance examination. Fortunately, with Teacher Xu’s relationship, if nothing happens in high school, I will definitely stay in Fjord. Thinking about this, I feel anxious
Slowed down a lot.
Return to the lawn under the tree house for a picnic at noon.
After satisfying their curiosity about the tree house, the students came down to work together.
In addition to braised yellow beef and seafood miscellaneous fish pot, Xu Sui Zhuzhang's spoon, other simple dishes such as salted edamame, cold cucumber, and sugar-stirred tomatoes were completed by six students.
Zhuang Yi and Chen Xingshan led Xiaobaozi and Coco to make an assorted fruit platter. These fruits were all bought in Guang'an County. In addition to the common citrus, pineapple, yellow peel fruit, guava, there are also some fruits that are not delicious when eaten raw.
Good olives - bought with the reputation of being the top local specialty.
Fortunately, Xu Suizhu has the magic weapon for candied fruit - fruit. When he goes back, he can pickle it and make it into candied fruit. The olives that are eaten raw and have no market may become a hot commodity.
Sumptuous dishes were placed on the big tree stump table. Everyone held bowls, scooped out some of their favorite dishes, sat on the small tree stump, and chatted while eating.
It was still early after dinner. After taking a short rest, Xu Suizhu and his wife took their children and students to explore the island with Father Xu. The principal and his wife were a little tired and stayed in the tent to rest.
Others still followed their original schedule and went to work after lunch break.
Xu Tiejun has explored Fuling Island more than two or three times. Now he is leading everyone on the path he has trodden, introducing unusual vegetation to everyone from time to time, and using a net bag woven with thin vines to cover his grandson with a colorful
Gorgeous big butterfly.
The little bun was so happy that he carefully protected the net bag, fearing that the butterfly would fly away.
Coco stood next to him and looked at him enviously.
"Sister Coco, aren't butterflies beautiful?"
"Well, so beautiful."
"But the butterfly turned into a caterpillar. Sister Coco, do you still like it?"
Coco shook in fright: "Caterpillar?"
"Yes, yes! Butterflies are really transformed from caterpillars. If you don't believe me, ask my mother."
Coco was most afraid of caterpillars, so she quickly took a few steps back, not daring to get so close to watch the butterflies.
The little bun man Xiaogui Dadi sighed: "Poor butterfly! But it doesn't matter, and I like you."
Everyone laughed.
The ghostly and sinister boy! If you really want Coco to like butterflies, forget about caterpillars!
There are indeed many kinds of insects on Fuling Island, some of which are familiar and some of which are unknown. Fortunately, rosemary, which has a miraculous effect in repelling insects, was planted along the main road, and the children all wore the same sachets, otherwise it would be a waste.
It's autumn, and insect bites are inevitable. Children's skin is so tender, even Xu Suizhu was bitten by it.
"Why don't you bring a sachet?" Lu Chixiao saw the child's mother taking out the anti-itch ointment and asked her to stand holding on to the tree trunk while he knelt down to apply the medicine on her ankle.
"The stock is running low. I gave the remaining one to my wife." Xu Suizhu saw him lowering his head to apply medicine to herself. She felt a little embarrassed. She curled up her toes and shrank her feet, and whispered, "I'll do it myself. I'll be a student."
It’s not good to see it.”
"What's wrong?" Lu Chixiao looked up at her angrily, "Don't move!"
When the students looked back and saw this scene, they shrank their heads, winked at each other, and chased Xu Tiejun to the front, laughing and joking.
In the quiet forest, they were the only ones left in an instant.
"Okay, just bear with the itch, it will be fine in a while." Lu Chixiao pulled up her trouser legs and stood up. The ointment was not put back into the child's mother's backpack, but put into his own trouser pocket. Three times a day, in the evening
Have to apply it again.
Xu Suizhu looked at him with a sweet smile.
"Why are you smiling so sweetly?" He tugged at the tips of her hair that were falling down.
Xu Suizhu: "You are so gentle and touching!"
Originally she wanted to say "beautiful and sultry", but she was afraid of being retaliated by her father. In front of the big man with eight-pack abs, she only dared to flirt a little bit.
But she underestimated the boss's shamelessness, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and came to Shudong.
He kissed her until her lips were slightly swollen before letting her go.
"The rest goes home and continues."
The rooms on the yacht are too close together, so I have some concerns.
Xu Suizhu didn't even dare to flirt with her now. The opponent was too strong and she couldn't resist it. She was always the one who suffered the loss if she was always sly, ugh!
Lu Chixiao couldn't help but be happy every time he saw his child's mother showing such a frustrated expression that she wanted to beat him but was afraid that the gain would outweigh the gain.
"You're still laughing!" She raised her foot and kicked him weakly.
"Don't smile." He said "Don't smile", but there was still a smile on his face. He picked up the basket on the ground, took her hand, "Let's go, didn't you say you want to pick some citrus and go back to dry the tangerine peel?"
"Oh yes! I also need to pick some wild pears and go back to make pear paste candy."
Every year at this time, I would make some loquat paste, pear paste, ginger jujube paste, etc. When the weather is cold, I would make a cup of it and slowly sip it while holding the cup to warm my hands, stomach and nourish my body.
This year, there are wild tangerines and pears that I picked up for free. They don’t taste good when eaten raw, but they can be dried into dried tangerine peels and boiled into pear paste sugar. It would be a waste not to pick them and let them rot on the branches.
So, after exploring Fuling Island enough, Xu Suizhu asked her students to study. She took the monkeys...wrong, the children went to pick wild fruits.
But the students all wanted to help: "Teacher Xu, we have finished our homework, let us stay and pick it together!"
"After you finish your homework, you can preview, review or do extracurricular exercises! There is no technical content in picking wild fruits, so there is no need to waste your time."
"It's not a technical job, but it can be a life experience. We promise to make up for the questions we missed in the afternoon when we get home."
Xu Suizhu smiled helplessly and asked: "Do you want to pick it so much?"
"Yeah." The students nodded unanimously.
"That's okay." Xu Suizhu thought about it and said, "Let's pick it together. When we get back, I'll make pear candy for you. How about two cans per person as reward?"
