Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Now that the sun is no longer bright during the day, if there is nothing at home or an occasional light rain, most of the time Rhubarb will take the sheep out to graze early in the morning.

The two of them didn't have any urgent work on hand, and they would often go along, allowing Da Huang to play with the children for a while.

The more sheep eat, the more they poop.

Mu Xi pulls out a large amount of organic fertilizer from the sheepfold every two days.

After the heavy rains and the weather became cooler, Zhao Yeqing sowed seeds in the ground again, and now seedlings are growing one after another.

She did not give up sowing peppers and tomatoes, and now the seedlings are thirty centimeters tall. The white radish prepared for winter has all sprouted.

Old people say that if you eat radish in winter and ginger in summer, the doctor does not need to prescribe it.

As a child raised by an elderly person, these words are more deeply imprinted on my heart than those years of exam-oriented education I received in school.

Zhao Yeqing planted two long ridges of white radish, and today he will take the fertilizer to spread on two grain plots, and also spread fertilizer on the vegetable garden.

After sowing in the vegetable garden, she no longer needed to carry her when going out. She put a rein on Xiao Hong and led him towards the wheat field.

The wheat fields are now full of green wheat seedlings, and it has been more than twenty days since they were sown.

The wheat seedlings have already taken out three small leaves and are about to enter the tillering stage.

The progress of highland barley and wheat is almost the same. The early harvest in the later period is mainly because the wheat seedlings will stop growing when the temperature reaches about three or four degrees Celsius. They will not continue to grow until the next spring arrives and the flowers bloom.

However, highland barley can withstand the cold of nearly ten degrees below zero and can grow and mature in winter.

Highland barley needs more water than wheat. If there is no light rain for a long time, she needs to replenish water.

But it can't be irrigated like rice. It likes to drink water but it can't be too humid.

Recently, it was the time when the seedlings were fresh and delicious, and she had to keep an eye on them to prevent aphids from eating the young leaves at this time.

There are many things to take care of when farming, but she never gets tired of it.

If she didn't have to consider all aspects of survival now and there were too many distractions, she could just guard these two grain fields and the small vegetable garden behind her house all day long.

Looking at the lushly growing seedlings, in addition to the sense of accomplishment, what I feel more is seeing the seeds planted by myself, and they burst out of the ground in a blink of an eye, despite the heavy burden.

She liked the vigorous vitality, which was why she decided to resign and return to Meishan.

Now it seems that she was so prescient. If she was still in the city at that time, I don't know if she would still be alive now.

Not to mention sitting on this meadow and mountains.

Zhao Yeqing suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and couldn't think about it. If he thought about it again, he would laugh out loud.

After spreading fertilizer on both pieces of land, Zhao Yeqing took Xiao Hong and returned home humming a little tune.

Mu Xi was making tables in the yard. They planned to have two tables at home, with a rectangular table used as a desk. Sometimes they would read some leftover materials and take notes, and they also needed data records for the sheep and fields at home.

There is also a small round table placed in front of the fireplace.

In addition to the wooden chair in front of the desk, there must be two rocking chairs placed next to the small round table.

According to Zhao Yeqing's idea, the fireplace was lit in winter, and the two of them sat in rocking chairs in front of the fireplace. There were snacks on the table. Snowflakes were falling outside and the room was warm.

Mu Xi was not a person who knew how to live well, but when he thought of the two of them sitting in front of the fireplace, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

He had never made a rocking chair before, and it took a lot of time to adjust the angle, not only to ensure that the chair could rock, but also to ensure that it would not lose its center of gravity and fall when it moved backwards.

By the time he finished finishing the desk and chairs, it would be two days later.

Zhao Yeqing drew the design of the sheep pen. This was not difficult, as long as it was built without leakage. There was also the problem of the rabbit pen.

Building a house might not make it through the winter, so Zhao Yeqing thought it would be better to follow the rabbit's own overwintering habits and dig a hole underground.

When she stuffs them with enough food, they should be able to live safely.

Mu Xi packed his things early in the morning and planned to cut the ramie back.

There was nothing to do at home today, so Zhao Yeqing went with him.

The ramies grow straight and tall, the tallest one is even taller than her, and the stems are a little thicker than a thumb.

The upward side of the leaves is green, the downward side is white, and there are small white hairs on both sides.

Only the long stalks are needed to make hemp rope, and the leaves on them are usually used to feed pigs.

The two of them didn't know whether the sheep could be eaten, so they didn't dare to take them back to feed.

He plucking the leaves off the ramie pole right where he was and then took them back.

Zhao Yeqing sat on the stone next to him with his gloves on, and rubbed the ramie cut by Mu Xi from top to bottom with his hands, and all the leaves fell off.

This job was easy. She waited until Mu Xi had cut off a small amount before starting to do it. While waiting, she walked around and looked around.

After the weather became normal, there were more wild vegetables in the forest. Zhao Yeqing was pinching the wild vegetables and she discovered something good again.

He took a long branch, knocked the thing off the tree, hid it quietly behind him, and walked to Mu Xi, "Close your eyes and give you something to eat."

Mu Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead, closed his eyes and opened his mouth without asking. The next second something weird-shaped was put into his mouth.

Before chewing, you can feel the slightest sweetness on the tip of your tongue.

"Chicken feet fruit?"

Zhao Yeqing smiled and took out a large bunch behind him.

Chicken claw fruit is what they call it here. After work, my colleagues call it guaizao. Its scientific name is Zhizhiguo, and it has the same ancestor as red dates.

Chicken feet fruit is very sweet, and she has rarely been able to eat it since high school.

The fruit tree is very tall, and there are many fruits densely packed on the tree. Zhao Yeqing does not need Mu Xi's help and slowly knocks them down with a wooden stick.

Don't stop until you have a bag full.

There was enough ramie piled beside the stone. She put the fruit aside and began to collect the ramie leaves.

The ramie poles after removing the leaves are not heavy. They can be tied into bundles and put on the cart, and Xiaohong can pull them back.

As the two were about to leave, there were some special sounds coming from the forest, like heavy objects falling to the ground, and then something moving quickly among the weeds.

It didn't sound like animals were fighting, nor did it sound like any post-mortem cries. Instead, it sounded like some groups of animals were moving.

People who can engage in group activities are not easy to mess with. The two of them didn't intend to go and have a look regardless of their ability, so they just walked away.

Suddenly the animal's movement stopped, replaced by the sound of hitting trees, and then began to roar.

Mu Xi looked stern and said, "It's a herd of wild boars."

Zhao Yeqing felt furious in his heart. She almost killed one of them at first, but this was a group of them.

If you can't afford it, you have to run away quickly.

At this time, Zhao Yeqing heard a familiar shout.

Her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly looked up at Mu Xi.

"Does this meow sound familiar?"
