After starting work.

Xu Ming found that carving was much more difficult than he thought.

The golden ratio of the human body, the specific details of the head and body, fingers, and facial features must have an accurate impression in the mind. If not, you have to strengthen it through training and learn some professional tutorials related to carving.

Xu Ming found some video materials online and learned a lot of basic knowledge.

Fortunately, in addition to being taller, he also became more intelligent and had a good understanding. After studying for two days, some simple items can be carved in a very good manner.

Xu Ming has a very serious attitude in his study and does it very carefully, not only to repay others' wishes, but he thinks this will be a very useful skill!

"If the carving is done well, in addition to carving, I can also make some tools and furniture to facilitate daily work and life. This will not only save money, but also don't have to buy things frequently. Go to the express delivery point to get the express delivery... It saves a lot of trouble."

"As long as I have a skill, I can make wooden ladders, tables and chairs, or make a bow and arrow, and have some wonderful ideas, like the Creator. As long as I can make anything, it is undoubtedly a great experience."

"Time and space cutting is almost effortless. A granite rock mountain can be cut as easily as tofu. The more consumed, it is the mental power of the brain. After a long operation time, the head will become dizzy. But this is also a kind of exercise. I felt that after exploring the carving for a few days, my mental power has increased. I originally persisted for up to 30 minutes at a time, but now it has increased to 50 minutes, and the effect is significant."

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen your mental power through practicing carving.

So Xu Ming felt that his life had really become fulfilled.

Manage greenhouse vegetable greenhouse.

Practice crystal carving.

Take some free time to play games and surf the Internet.

Xu Ming didn't feel the hard work or tediousness, but he enjoyed it. These are things he was interested in and liked to do, but because he liked it, he was tireless.

...

January 12th.

Xu Ming buried his head in the world of his own and studied carvings for nearly ten days.

Although he was not very satisfied, he finally took out two works that were acceptable.

Then, a transparent box sized insulated box was made with crystal, and two works were put in... The gift was completed.

besides.

Inside a healthy vegetable house.

Xu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The problems he had worried about before appeared, and they were even more serious than he thought!

Mature.

All vegetables are ripe.

The yield of vegetables is extremely exaggerated.

A vegetable can be fried in one plate.

The peppers that appear every day in a chili tree are enough to eat.

A cucumber vine hangs four or five cucumbers from small to large at the same time. Only the large ones can be picked for five consecutive days, and new cucumbers emerge again.

The leeks are strong and fat, and the speed of cutting cannot be as fast as possible.

I dare not pick cabbage, otherwise I would have scored one for several times and eaten it for a week.

Tomatoes, carrots, and broccoli can be kept for a longer period of time, but after they are ripe, they will face the problem of indigestion and serious backlog.

"It seems that the monthly vegetable production of this vegetable field per square meter is definitely more than 1 kilogram, and the peak production period is no problem. Not to mention that it is enough for me to eat alone, but it is enough for everyone to eat."

what to do?

What should I do if I can’t finish it?

Would you throw away the excess and waste it directly?

Shaking his head, Xu Ming was the kind of person who disliked waste. He knew that every grain of food was hard-won. Every time the country called for the "Clean Plate Operation, Stop wasting", others just stayed verbally, and it would still be wasted. However, Xu Ming responded to this action and actually achieved the CD, forming a good living habit.

Moreover, Xu Ming found that if the food is eaten clean every time, it will be very convenient when washing the pot and dishes, without any residue, and you can even be lazy occasionally and wipe it with toilet paper. If there is too much leftover in the bowl, you will not only feel wasteful when pouring it, but also stick to the bowl, and it will also feel disgusting and unhygienic when washing.

After all, no one likes to wash a regret that may be covered with other people's saliva.

So eating the rice in the bowl is actually a kind of respect for dishwashers... I just pretend that if you have a dishwasher at home, I have never read it.

Similarly, the vegetables that Xu Ming had worked so hard to throw away if he couldn't finish them. To be honest, he really couldn't do them.

Or sell it in the vegetable market?

Shake his head.

"This greenhouse is so big, and there is not much more vegetables, not to mention that they can't sell much money. It's a waste of time and energy. It's far better to sell sand gold once."

It can only be given some to a familiar friend, which is a kind of favor.

Of course, the most fundamental solution is to optimize the structure of vegetable planting or appropriately reduce the area of ​​planting. In short, it is enough to not cause too much waste while meeting his personal needs.

...

That afternoon.

Lan Mengxin, sitting in front of the computer, could not calm down and write.

One, in two days, it will be her 30th birthday. This was a good thing, but for her, she felt that the end was approaching. At the age of 30, for women, what a cruel age, it is even more cruel to single women.

Two, my mother has been nagging in her ears more recently.

"Daughter, how are you talking to that guy?"

"Why don't you meet after two meals?"

"Don't stay at home all day long, be more proactive. Even if you come to the door, you can't always wait for others to take the initiative."

"When will the wedding day be decided? At the age of thirty, the sooner the better."

“…”

My mother's nagging words were like a urging war drum, and the more she beat them, it made her anxious and confused.

But in order to reassure my mother, she had to pretend to be confident and said: "Don't worry, mom, we are in good condition and everything goes well."

"It's good to go smoothly." He Cairong seemed to be at ease, but in fact, she said suspiciously in her eyes. Maybe next time she walked into the room, she would no longer ask about the date of marriage, but when the child would be born.

The invisible pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

But is that fast progress?

It's just that they're just starting out and they're making friends.

Moreover, Xu Ming has not contacted her for a lot of time these days. He just asked for a full-body photo on a micro-chat. He didn't say the purpose of the photo, and there was no further information after that... Even so, she gave him a temporary full-body photo. For this reason, she put on various positions in front of the mirror, put on makeup and change clothes. After more than an hour of busyness, she sent a selfie that she thought was the best.

But after the photo was sent, I didn’t hear the expected praise, only two words: “Received”.

"That hateful Xu Ming, what are you doing these days?"

Lan Mengxin, who was almost driven crazy by the mental pressure exerted by her mother, felt a little sad about someone.

Do you want me to let go of all my reserve and take the initiative to make an appointment with you?

Dingdong ~

Suddenly, my phone received a micro chat message.

When Lan Mengxin picked up her phone and looked at it, she immediately showed joy.

"Are you at home?" Xu Ming sent a message.

"Here, here!" Lan Mengxin replied in an instant.

"Can you come to me here? It's downstairs of Building 16? I want to give you something, but the quantity is a bit too large. Can you come and get it?"

"Yes, I'll go there right away!"

Lan Mengxin put on a coat, and under He Cairong's surprised gaze, she walked through the living room like a gust of wind, leaving a sentence, "Mom has something to go out for a trip." She ran away quickly and disappeared.

...

In less than three minutes.

Downstairs of 16 apartment buildings.

Lan Mengxin's figure appeared in front of Xu Ming.

"You said all these were given to me?"

I saw the seven or eight handbags placed by Xu Ming’s feet, which contained vegetables, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, leeks, cabbage and other vegetables. Each bag was full, and it might be more than 20 kilograms in total, and it was fresh and tender, green and verdant, and the quality was very good.

"So many vegetables, are you...you are the birthday gift you are going to give me?"

Lan Mengxin actually remembered what Xu Ming said last time. Let’s see if this man will bring her any surprises?

Now looking at the vegetables all over the ground, she really felt a surprise. Although in terms of value, these vegetables are not worth much, they mean beautiful and represent health. They also let her see a simple heart, making her feel sincere and down-to-earth, which is more touching than receiving any gifts.

She even thought happily that if Xu Ming took this opportunity to confess to her, she would definitely nod and agree.

"No~"

Xu Ming shook his head: "These dishes were brought from my workplace. They are all organic vegetables and are also benefits from employees sent to us by the company. I can't finish them and I will give you some of them."

“Ah~”

Lan Mengxin opened her mouth, extremely embarrassed. It turned out that she was too imagining and fell into self-motivation.

"But I have brought you your birthday gift, too. You can close your eyes and count one, two or three silently, and the gift will appear in front of you."

"real?"

Lan Mengxin quickly closed her eyes and made a girl's prayer gesture: "Then I will start counting, one, two, three!"

Open your eyes!

A square crystal box was held in his hand by Xu Ming and handed it to her.

After seeing the gift clearly.

Lan Mengxin's eyes released a dazzling light, and a real surprise appeared on her face.
Chapter completed!
