Chapter 94 Proper
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu drove back home.
Bai Jiyang, Lin Fan, and the others had already packed up some things at home, and Bai Tang carefully stored the items into her spatial storage.
Bai Jiyang asked Bai Tang in a coquettish tone, "My dear sister, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Bai Tang said, "It's so hot now, we can't eat hot food, let's eat something cold instead."
Cold side dishes, cold noodles, fried dough sticks, cucumber salad with pig's ears, and tofu with scallions—is that enough?
Lin Fan wiped away non-existent drool from his mouth and said:
"That's enough. Just hearing the names of these dishes makes me feel cool."
Bai Tang then took out a large floor fan from her spatial storage and started blowing it around.
Thankfully, the base has electricity and sockets, otherwise it would have been unbearably hot.
The supermarket at the base also sells electric fans, but there's a daily limit, so most people at the base don't have one.
Therefore, Bai Tang only takes out this large fan when eating.
The fans in the living room and each of their bedrooms were the same model as those in the base supermarket.
Bai Tang went to the base supermarket to check the fan models. Luckily, they had stocked up a lot beforehand, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to find the same model.
When I was resting at night, the fan was blowing loudly.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were lying on the bed, each with a straw mat on their bed.
Gu Yanxu was about to move closer when Bai Tang pushed him away.
"Get out of the way, it's so hot, I'm not going to stick it on."
Gu Yanxu: "It's not hot. My wife told me to put on some, and they won't be able to stick on when we leave the base to pick up my parents and grandfather."
Bai Tang: "We still have a week before we leave. It's really hot today. I'm not going to put on any face masks. Besides, I just took a shower to cool off. I should go to bed early."
Gu Yanxu could only hold Bai Tang's hand and go to sleep, feeling wronged.
After the extreme heat arrived, many people were unable to sleep due to the heat.
If Bai Tang and the others didn't have their own space, they definitely wouldn't be living such a comfortable life.
At least there's a fan to blow on when I sleep at night, even though the air is hot, it's better than nothing.
...
The next morning, Bai Tang was still woken up by the heat. She opened her eyes, looked at the fan, and saw that it was in operation.
Looking around the room again, Gu Yanxu was no longer in the bedroom; he must have gone to make breakfast.
Despite the fan blowing, Bai Tang still felt quite hot; Bai Tang's constitution is such that she is afraid of heat but not cold.
In a normal summer, Bai Tang needs to sleep with the air conditioner on, otherwise she will definitely wake up from the heat.
Bai Tang wiped the sweat from her neck and flashed into her spatial dimension. Mu Mu was still absorbing the spiritual energy of the sandalwood, so Bai Tang didn't disturb her.
Instead, he went to the mobile house next door and took a quick shower.
There are several mobile houses in the space, some made of corrugated iron and foam, some made of shipping containers, some made of wood, and some made of bamboo, because Bai Tang has liked some rustic things since she was a child.
Especially treehouses and bamboo houses, so Gu Yanxu simply customized several sets of movable bamboo houses and other mobile houses made of other materials.
Firstly, to make Bai Tang happy, and secondly, because they were worried that the family wouldn't have a place to stay at the base.
Anyway, these things will come in handy sooner or later. Even if they don't need them, the base will probably use them. At worst, we can find an opportunity to say that we got them from outside the base.
Bai Tang finished showering and dried her hair before coming out of the space.
When I went into the kitchen, Gu Yanxu was indeed making breakfast.
Seeing her come in, Gu Yanxu said, "Why did you take a shower again this morning?"
Bai Tang: "Ugh, it's so hot, I feel all sticky from sweating."
Gu Yanxu then said, "Then you can go out first. I've cooked some noodles with soybean paste. We'll have cold noodles later."
Bai Tang returned to the living room and looked at the canned food lying on the floor.
I walked over and patted its head: "Now you know I shaved your fur for your own good, right?"
The canned food also lost its appetite due to the hot weather, so Bai Tang added some water and cat food to it, and also added some fish oil.
Lin Fan and the other three also got up and came to the living room. Before they could even sit down, Gu Yanxu called them to bring out the food.
Bai Tang sat down at the table and took out some dishes suitable for summer from her space, so that the others wouldn't go hungry while eating noodles with soybean paste later.
During the meal, Bai Jiyang said, "It's stuffy and hot when I go to sleep at night."
I also got several mosquito bites, and they were so itchy!
Bai Tang gave them several bottles of floral water and several coils of mosquito coils, and then said:
"Let's make do with this for now. We'll be driving around in a few days, and we'll set up the mosquito net when we get back."
Bai Jiyang said tearfully, "I almost fed the mosquitoes yesterday, but they only bit me."
Lin Fan said cheekily, "Maybe it's because your blood tastes good that mosquitoes favor you."
After breakfast, the sun was already high in the sky. Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were going to Gu Yu's house to tell her father that their team had decided to follow the base's team.
It was a short distance, and Bai Tang had already applied sunscreen at home. She also applied some to Gu Yanxu, as she didn't want him to get sunburned and peel.
When they arrived at Gu Yu's house, Gu Yu said that her father was not there; he had gone to the base to take care of things.
Bai Tang could only ask Gu Yu to relay the message.
Then Bai Tang and Lin Feng went home and asked Lin Feng to find three cages and put the six wild rabbits in the yard into the cages.
She delivered the wild rabbit to Zhang Hongmei and the others before the sun reached its hottest point at noon.
Lin Feng and Lin Zhou put the cage into the trunk of the SUV, and Bai Tang went back into the house and took out several bags of hay for the rabbits from her spatial storage.
Gu Yanxu put the hay and the cage together in the trunk.
The two then drove to Zhang Hongmei's house.
When they arrived, Bai Tang went downstairs to knock on the door, and Zhang Hongmei's daughter opened it.
The little girl remembered Bai Tang, so she opened the door and let her in.
Bai Tang and she went inside. Zhang Hongmei wasn't home. The little girl said timidly:
"Sister, my mom went to work and told me to open the door for you when you arrive."
Bai Tang patted the little girl's hair: "You're such a good girl."
At this moment, Grandma Feng heard the noise and came out. She said:
"Hongmei has told me about the rabbit. You can bring the rabbit in and put it in a shady corner of the yard."
Despite the sweltering heat, Bai Tang didn't hesitate and immediately told Gu Yanxu to get out of the car and move the rabbit cage to a shady spot on the wall in the yard.
Then he carried the hay down and said to Grandma Feng:
"This is our rabbit feed. Please help us feed them."
Grandma Feng said, "Alright, alright, I'll talk to Hongmei when she gets back. Why don't you come in and sit for a while, my dear?"
Bai Tang shook her head and said, "It's too hot. We should hurry home. Grandma Feng, you should take the children inside too, so they don't get sunburned."
After saying that, Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu went out and got into the car.
Grandma Feng locked the door after they left.
As noon approached, the sun grew stronger and the temperature rose, soaring to forty or fifty degrees Celsius.
Bai Tang and the others had just driven home and turned on the fan in the living room when someone knocked on the door.
