This fool had thought that he was going to a sunny and warm place Before he'd left, he'd checked the weather forecast for the various areas in China excitedly
Based on what he'd been expecting, he was going somewhere called ”Hainan Island” As a result, he was now squatting on the ground, clad in a thick padded jacket and shi+vering while hugging his chest
The reason he was in the thick cotton jacket was that Hans had based his wardrobe on the winter being ameant for a harsh winter
Li Du could only extend his apologies; he hadn't expected this winter to be so cold In fact, the location of his home lay on the equator and it hadn't snowed in years As far as he re that Hans was freezing, he waved and said, ”Co”
Ah Meow huddled up next to Hans; an ani warmth from each other For an animal used to the indoors, this place ay too cold
The land had previously been used to grow grains Mr and Mrs Li wanted to grow vegetables instead, so they had to turn the soil over with the plow
They unloaded the plow from the three-wheeled tractor and assembled it in preparation for use
This type of ploas made up of two parts The first part was that thick and sturdy steel blade at the botto from the front with both sides narrowed, it resembled the head of a bullet train This was a colter
For this part, the steel colter was theupwards The purpose was for the person operating to press on the wooden fraround
The handles were two si stiff pieces of wood The handles were attached on top of the colter's wooden frame
Two people needed to cooperate to carry out this task The person behind needed to press on the wooden frao into the soil The person in front, with his back to hied the ploard
This way, the person behind would be operating the wooden fraing force by the person in front The colter could then continuously push the soil forward
In his teens, Li Du had been well-acquainted with this thing After he had gone to college, his home had been demarcated as part of the county and so he hardly did such chores The ploas now a little unfamiliar to him
He held on to the wooden frame above the colter and asked, ”Dad, how do you do this in winter? It's freezing Isn't the ground frozen?”
Mr Li took a puff frohed, ”Who would have known this would be such a cold winter? The teround was not frozen and could still be plowed It suddenly becae”
”Then why not wait for spring to arrive before doing the plowing?” Li Du asked
Athem shook his head ”Can't You have no idea, Xiao Du Once spring is here, you'll have to plant seedlings quickly There's not enough tis i,” another person added ”The land here is too coot to let the land breathe for a bit”
These people were their neighbors They had been curious to see foreigners such as theQuinn, so had popped over to take a look
Li Du nodded in sudden realization Thereto do the plowing at this ti soet him to move out of the way Li Du patted the wooden fra to operate the plow You go to the front and pull Let Mohed, ”You wouldn't be able to do it, better get out of your dad's way”
Li Du said, ”I'ot th now”
Mr Li chuckled ”Do you think all that's needed for plowing is strength? It's not that si over in the US”
Hans couldn't understand what they were saying He rubbed his hands together and urged, ”Hurry up and get cracking What do we need to do? I'ers asked, ”What did this A”
Li Du said, ”This guy wants to start the work Let me show him hoork it”
