Nowadays, people, regardless of gender, like green but also dislike green.
It sounds contradictory, but it’s actually quite understandable. They like to "green" others, but dislike being "greened" themselves.
This mindset is still prevalent. It's estimated that at least seven out of ten people think this way, and the remaining three are already involved.
Murong Yanran found Li Haochen's indignant expression amusing. She rolled her eyes at him, "Alright, alright. Hurry up and wash up, it's almost time to eat."
"I'll clean up later. Don't dirty yourself," Li Haochen said. He walked to the faucet by the yard and washed his hands, then very carefully smoothed his hair.
"Screech~"
At this moment, Xie Baolian also returned, holding a large cardboard box that was almost as tall as her head.
Seeing her precarious figure, Li Haochen quickly ran over to take it. "Mom, I'll take it."
"Oh, I'm exhausted."
Xie Baolian reached the doorway, kicked off her high heels, and put on slippers. She walked over and took out a Tong Sheng daily calendar from the box, as thick as a Xinhua Dictionary.
"Mom, why are you getting such a big calendar?"
"To pick a date."
"Ah..."
"It's... it's not even..."
Murong Yanran's face instantly flushed red. She looked at Li Haochen, her heart pounding faster and faster.
"So soon?"
"Why not? The New Year is fast approaching. Wait, where are you two planning to register?"
Xie Baolian's eyes lit up, and she looked at them slyly. "That's not a bad idea. Why not do it together, double happiness..."
"I, I think the food is ready," Murong Yanran, being quite shy, her face as red as an apple, quickly ran into the kitchen.
"Mom, look at you, you scared Yanran."
"What a blockhead, how can I have, ah no, how can I have such a wooden son like you."
"Ouch!"
Xie Baolian was so angered that she kicked him.
Watching the two go in, Li Haochen smiled and muttered to himself, "I haven't even proposed yet, hehe!"
During dinner, Li Haochen continued to play dumb, which of course resulted in him almost being knocked out by Xie Baolian.
A mother's anger is serious. As a consequence, Li Haochen was punished with washing dishes and cleaning, and then he had to be the technician. He wasn't sure if it was pre-meditated.
The next morning, Li Haochen received a call from Wang Lunhao. The villa and landscaping work were all completed. Li Haochen was so excited that he wanted to rush over immediately, but then he remembered he had important things to do today and suppressed his excitement.
Arriving at the warehouse, Li Haochen went inside and locked the door. He then entered his spatial dimension to check. The tide was receding.
The tide receded very quickly. In less than five minutes, it had receded to the bamboo posts. Li Haochen quickly slipped out.
Actually, Li Haochen felt quite frustrated. The spatial dimension was good, but it was severely restrictive.
"Alright, let's get to work, youths."
Putting on anti-slip gloves and holding two bamboo poles, he swiftly moved to the mudflat.
The design of the bamboo poles was quite practical. The middle bamboo pole was adjustable; you could pull it out by a few dozen centimeters, insert it into the mud, and it would be very stable.
However, inserting them one by one was as slow as a snail crawling. In one minute, he could only install about four or five.
After working for about half an hour, he had only installed about a hundred poles, and he hadn't even attached the mussel seedlings. At this rate, with only one opportunity a month, it would take ten to eight years to install all ten thousand poles.
Time passed, and the tide began to rise again with a splash, still at a rapid pace. With just a few in and out, the seawater had already reached his navel.
Looking at the more than three hundred bamboo poles in front of him, he smiled wryly and shook his head. "It seems I have to resort to the brute force method, diving to install them."
The difficulty of installing them underwater was not insignificant. The bamboo poles themselves had buoyancy, but at the moment, there was no better solution.
The seawater had already risen very high. After returning from his spatial dimension, Li Haochen didn't continue immediately.
He returned home, grabbed a set of diving gear, goggles, and some lead weights, and then rushed back to the warehouse.
