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

All he saw was a man with broad shoulders, narrow waist and an upright posture, digging in the ground with a hoe.

At noon in early spring, the temperature was about 11 degrees. He would still sweat while doing farm work, so he took off his coat and put it aside.

The bottoming shirt underneath is slightly tight, outlining the lines on the arms that bulge due to exertion.

Zhao Yeqing was basking in the sun, chewing a piece of beef jerky, and sighed inwardly.

This is rough Chinese literature that reflects reality.

Perhaps because the sight behind him was too hot, Mu Xi stopped his movements, looked back at the girl and smiled, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Yeqing smiled and said, "No, I'm working."

As he spoke, the wooden rake in his hand symbolically turned over the wheat, corn and peanut seeds that were being dried.

Mu Xi had already dug up the peanut field all morning. After all, it was only half a piece of land, but it was only dug up and not leveled.

The excavated soil clods also need to be broken up with a rake or hoe.

He put down the hoe in his hand and walked towards Zhao Yeqing.

When Zhao Yeqing saw him coming to rest, he put down the wooden rake in his hand, picked up the kettle and cup at his feet, and poured him a glass of water.

"In the past two days, we will plow the land first, plow the land to be cultivated, and then unify the land."

What he was thinking was that Zhao Yeqing would rest for the next two days. When she took over the work, she would not need to dig the ground anymore. She would only need to break up the soil, which would not be so laborious.

She sniffed, stood up and gave up her chair, "You sit down and take a rest."

After that, he walked to the edge of the field, took Mu Xi's coat that was lying there and handed it to him, "It's better to put it on. It's easy to catch a cold if you sweat in this weather and get blown by the wind."

It has become warmer recently. I habitually turned on the fire in the fireplace last night before going to bed. As a result, I was a little hot when I went to bed at night. I kicked off the quilt without paying attention, and I woke up with a runny nose in the morning.

The hot water in the kettle is also boiled with dried ginger, which can prevent colds and colds.

Mu Xi finished drinking the water, then filled the cup and handed it to her, "Drink more and don't make it worse. I don't have many herbs at home. Fortunately, spring has finally begun. When the temperature is around 20 degrees, I will go out to find some herbs." Come back and prepare."

Zhao Yeqing had a runny nose for two days and was exposed to the sun for two days. Fortunately, it didn't get worse. It got better on the third day, and his arms and waist were no longer so uncomfortable. It was really hard to get dressed the past few days.

The cornfield has not been dug yet. It could have been done yesterday. Zhao Yeqing forced Mu Xi to rest, otherwise he would easily suffer from physical problems.

When the sun sets in the afternoon, the seeds that have been drying for three days can finally be recovered and germinated.

The temperature for germination needs to be slightly higher, so Zhao Yeqing moved the corn and peanut seeds indoors.

For peanut seeds to germinate, the temperature must be kept above 13 degrees Celsius. It can barely reach 13 degrees Celsius during the day and less than 10 degrees Celsius at night, so it still needs to be brought indoors.

Germination also takes three days.

It was still possible to work before it got dark. Now the corn and peanut fields were filled with half-basketball-sized clods of soil. Zhao Yeqing took the iron rake and used the back of the iron rake to break up the large clods of soil.

The broken soil clods are then flattened and tidied up with the front side of the rake.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that the two of them packed up their farm tools and prepared to rest.

I still feel hot while working during the day, but at this time, I feel that the temperature has obviously dropped.

Mu Xi poured warm water into the cup for gargling: "We should be able to finish two pieces of land tomorrow."

Zhao Yeqing was brushing his teeth, nodded, and spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, "I will spread the base fertilizer on the ground tomorrow. I need to spread it enough."

After washing, I picked up the seeds placed next to the stove in the kitchen, returned to the room and placed them next to the fireplace.

I originally wanted to just put it in the kitchen, but I thought it was not very safe. After all, the temperature difference between day and night is still quite large.

The next morning, Zhao Yeqing got up early and opened the door. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was instantly glad that he had brought the seeds into the room last night.

It is raining lightly now, and the eaves are covered with crystal clear ice. There is no wind, but you can feel the coldness soaking into your bones.

Mu Xi walked in with the washbasin, pushed her in, and immediately closed the door.

"Why are you opening the door without putting on your coat? It's cold in spring, and your cold is just fine."

Zhao Yeqing suddenly realized that the two of them had been working in a daze during this period and did not consider the climate issue at all.

The temperature is rising so quickly in the beginning of spring, so it’s easy to get cold in spring.

She suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Did you go see the rice seeds this morning? How is it?"

Mu Xi took off the kettle from the fireplace, poured hot water into the washbasin, blew on the hot air, wrung out the towel and handed it to her to wash her face.

"Look, it's not a big deal if the wet seedlings are covered with mulch. After all, the seedlings haven't sprouted yet. The dry seedlings didn't notice much. I just went to cover them with mulch, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

Zhao Yeqing wiped his face with a hot towel. The pores on his face were opened by the steam. The warmth spread from his face to his whole body. As soon as the towel left his face, the remaining water on his face immediately turned cold, making her freeze. Stirring.

"The late spring cold has come quite early." She said in a somewhat thankful tone, "If we had waited two days until we planted the peanuts and corn before the late spring cold started, we wouldn't have given it all in vain."

The late spring cold usually lasts for two or three days here, probably because the current climate is more severe. The late spring cold is accompanied by rainy days, and the temperature continues to drop. It is not until four days later that the rain slowly stops and the temperature rises.

But even after rising, the sun is still blocked behind the clouds, and the sunshine lasts no more than three hours a day.

By the sixth day, all the peanuts and corn seeds in the house had sprouted.

Generally speaking, the buds that have just sprouted are white, but now the buds are vaguely green, and they will grow leaves if they continue like this.

Zhao Yeqing really couldn't wait any longer. There were problems with the subsequent development of this batch of seeds, so they had to be planted in the ground now.

It was too cold to sow in the past few days, so the two of them spread the fertilizer on the ground and sorted out the last rapeseed field.

At noon, when there was only some sunshine, the two went out holding the seeds, one planting peanuts and the other corn.

To plant peanuts, rows of pits must be dug, with a depth of about five to eight centimeters. Each small pit must be spaced 20 centimeters apart to ensure high yields.

If planted too closely, they will rob each other of nutrients.

The peanut seeds sown were all good seeds that had already been selected. She picked out the best seeds and selected the largest and plump ones to plant on the inner side. If nothing else, next year's peanut seeds would be these. The fruit of the tree.

The peanut field was relatively small. After planting the peanuts, she went to help Mu Xi plant corn.

There are two types of corn seeds, one is yellow sweet corn, and the other is waxy corn with white flowers.
