Chapter 2891 Town Infrastructure Construction in Full Swing 10
The simple wind vanes and other basic weather observation tools made by Jin Chen caught Huo Zhaoye's attention.
He not only had the children continue learning the principles and how to make it, but also gathered all the young people in Beizhen to learn from Jinchen in batches how to observe, record, and try to find patterns and predict weather changes.
This was a novel and somewhat unbelievable thing for the townspeople who were used to leaving things to fate.
But Huo Zhaoye believed it, so everyone followed suit.
A temporary study shed was set up next to the small square, with various materials and semi-finished products on the wooden table, as well as a record sheet drawn by Jinchen.
People from the south town often see this sight when crossing the bridge and find it strange. They occasionally point and comment on it, but the people from the north town ignore them and continue to learn it enthusiastically.
That afternoon, Huo Zhaoye returned from a patrol of the nearby mountains with his men, covered in sweat. As he approached the small square, he saw young people gathered together, discussing animatedly over several weather vanes and notebooks.
On the wooden table in the study shed, in addition to the teaching aids, there were also many washed fruits and vegetables, as well as small snacks made from coarse grains.
The monkey, with its sharp eyes, saw them return and immediately waved, "Brother Huo! Come quick! Teacher Jin made something delicious, it smells amazing!"
Huo Zhaoye walked over, glanced at the bright red candied tomatoes on the table, which stood out among the many fruits and vegetables, licked his back teeth, and said nothing.
He thought... it was one of a kind.
Someone handed him a washed cucumber, which Huo Zhaoye took and snapped a bite to suppress the inexplicable irritation in his heart.
Jin Chen walked over from the other side.
He had just finished instructing a group of young people on how to adjust the angle of the wind vane blades, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Huo Zhaoye watched him approach, still feeling a little uncomfortable, but when he got to him, he took off the leather water bag wrapped in thick cloth from behind his waist and handed it to him.
"It's from a cool spring on the mountain. Applying it to your wrist will cool you down."
Jin Chen took the water bag, looked at Huo Zhaoye, and gave him a faint smile.
"Thank you."
Huo Zhaoye felt even more uneasy looking at that smile.
The smile seemed to be directed at him, but Jin Chen seemed to be just as polite and courteous to others.
It felt both special and yet no different, like a little bug gnawing at him, making him irritable, yet also making him unable to resist pondering it.
Huo Zhaoye clicked his tongue, turned his face away, and didn't reply.
Jin Chen applied the water-based adhesive bandage to the medicated patch on his left wrist and pressed it gently; it did feel comfortable.
Huo Zhaoye glanced at his movements out of the corner of his eye and saw him slightly squinting his eyes and looking at his relaxed profile. The irritation in his heart seemed to cool down again.
Lost in his own thoughts, Huo Zhaoye didn't notice that Jin Chen had somehow moved half a step behind him, hiding in the shadows.
The sun was indeed strong, making the ground scorching hot, but there were clearly more spacious shady trees nearby.
Jin Chen stood quietly behind him, taking advantage of the shadow and the cover of his tall figure.
Huo Zhaoye noticed the cool aura coming from behind him and straightened his back a little.
Then, he heard whispers behind him, almost drowned out by the surrounding noise.
It was Jin Chen's voice, very close, his breath brushing past his ear.
"I kept the sweetest and best fruits and vegetables at home."
"Lord Huo, are you coming tonight?"
Huo Zhaoye: "..."
My chaotic thoughts were instantly shattered, leaving me even more blank.
"Come...no, I will go."
A short, soft laugh came from behind.
Jin Chen looked at Huo Zhaoye's bright red ears, which made his face look even more wild and intense, and lowered his smiling eyes.
"it is good."
Huo Zhaoye's ears felt a little hot, but he forced himself to remain calm and stood still.
The monkey, munching on a cucumber, came over and looked at Huo Zhaoye, who was standing ramrod straight, facing the sun, with a puzzled expression. "Boss, what are you doing? Standing here like a sentry post."
Huo Zhaoye was looking for a way to vent his inexplicable panic, and upon hearing this, he kicked him.
"None of my business! Eat your food!"
The monkey chuckled and dodged away.
Yan Genggu was also invited over.
He listened carefully to Jin Chen's concept of simplified meteorological observation and was very impressed.
"I also want to thank Mr. Jin for his theoretical advice on soil after he visited the fields a few days ago. It was very enlightening."
Jin Chen nodded slightly, "Professor Yan, you flatter me. Compared to agronomy and planting, I am naturally inferior to you."
With the reincarnation of a local deity, he wasn't worried at all about the revival of his wife's territory.
As everyone was discussing, Da Shu, who was responsible for patrolling and standing guard by the bridge, hurriedly ran over, looking a little anxious.
"Brother Huo!"
Big Tree was panting. "Tiger and his friends got into a fight with the kids from South Town at the boundary line! There are people on both sides, and they're arguing quite fiercely."
