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

The peanuts have grown into plants more than twenty centimeters tall, and the rice seedlings have also grown much taller, growing two long leaves.

The field of rapeseed flowers was now green, and Zhao Yeqing restrained himself several times before picking and eating them.

The wheat has reached the jointing stage, which is when it will soar, and the corn has also reached the jointing stage.

It's almost time to plant the soybeans.

There is no need to soak the soybeans in water first, they can be planted directly.

If soybeans are soaked in water, there will not be enough moisture in the soil when they are planted, and the soybeans will die.

The position originally reserved in the cornfield can now finally be put to use.

Dig the planting hole and sow the soybeans evenly inside. The distance between the soybeans should be at least fifteen centimeters.

It takes four or five months to grow. According to the current temperature, I don't know if the soybeans can survive until then.

Beans are also considered drought-tolerant crops. Most drought-tolerant crops require more water during the growth period.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to water the soybeans after planting them, water and fertilize all the planting areas.

Mu Xi wanted to say that he would do it, but Zhao Yeqing drove him away.

"You go put the bee bucket away and I'll water it at home. You can just go water the pasture tomorrow."

After hearing what she said, Mu Xi stopped insisting and went out with the bee trap bucket.

Place it on a branch, smear syrup next to the mouth and inside the bucket before returning.

When he got home, Zhao Yeqing had finished watering and was looking at the sorghum behind the house.

Hearing his footsteps, Zhao Yeqing turned around and said, "Come over and see if this sorghum looks different from the previous one?"

Mu Xi walked over to take a look, but didn't notice much, "It seems to be a little different, a little thicker, but everything else is about the same."

"It needs to be thicker. Could it be that I have some special talent for growing sorghum?" Zhao Yeqing began to flatter himself.

"Ah, yes, yes."

It’s time for sorghum to be top-dressed. This month has reached the jointing stage. The first top-dressing is also the first watering after planting.

The sun is not too bright today, and there are quite a few cumulus clouds in the sky.

Mu Xi took advantage of the low sun and planned to weed the rice fields.

There are many tares growing in the rice fields. Tares look somewhat similar to rice, and they love to grow together with rice to compete for nutrients.

We must discern carefully and pull out all the tares.

Some of the fish in the field could not adapt to the environment and died, but a few survived and were swimming in the water. If you step on the field and pull weeds, you will accidentally touch them.

It felt slippery, like a snake, which made Zhao Yeqing very repulsive to the work of weeding in the fields.

Mu Xi was weeding in the rice fields, and she went to the vegetable garden to weed.

This year's sweet potatoes were obviously better than those in Meishan, and it didn't take long for them to become lush and green.

The first round of leafy vegetables was also harvested. After replanting the missing areas, Zhao Yeqing began to use bamboo poles to build a frame.

Fruit vegetables include tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beans, cucumbers, and luffa.

After all the climbing plants were set up, Zhao Yeqing returned to the yard and watered the azaleas and marigolds.

Marigolds and marigolds are expected to bloom next month.

The azalea flowers have bloomed twice, and now six or seven flowers are blooming on them, bright red, and there are still three or four buds that have not yet opened.

The process of waiting for the flowers to bloom is a bit long, and I can’t wait every day. When I wake up in the morning and find the flowers blooming, my happy mood can last for most of the day.

Beside the fish pond, the grape roots that were originally only covered with soil now have their vines pulled out and climbed up along the supports.

Zhao Yeqing sat on the edge of the field chatting with Mu Xi who was pulling weeds in the field until dusk when he saw the dogs returning with the sheep.

She estimates how many animals will be born this year.

After all, it is spring recently, the season when all things revive. There is a lot of movement in the sheep pen at night. Since the cow pen has just given birth, the two cows are separated and locked up in advance to avoid accidents.

After the cow gives birth, the lactation period lasts for a year. It stops milking about three hundred days later, leaving nutrients for the cow to reproduce. It is not the time to reproduce yet.

Sheep can continue to be bred two months after they give birth. Based on the movements in the sheep pen and last year's experience, Zhao Yeqing reasonably calculated that this year's pasture consumption will be at least 1.5 times that of last year.

If it continues to regenerate, the sheepfold will no longer be able to contain it.

During dinner in the evening, Zhao Yeqing poked at the fried bacon with parsley on the plate and said, "Should we control the number of sheep? The weather is not good for storing meat, but if the dogs and leopards at home eat more, it won't be wasted."

The dogs were cooking, and their ears pricked up when they heard they were eating.

Guo Lu and Xue Ping lay on the ground licking their paws. They are now thinner than they were in the past winter. It must be because they have reached the limit of exercise recently.

She couldn't help but reach out to touch the smooth and smooth fur of the two leopards, but Mu Xi reached out to stop her.

"Eat first, then touch after eating."

Now that the weather is not cold, leopards and dogs sometimes don't go back to their rooms to sleep. They lie in the kitchen when eating and are too lazy to move their nests when sleeping.

Zhao Yeqing didn't stop him, he could still look at the kitchen while sleeping here.

After all, the fence at home can keep out snakes, but it cannot keep out the jackals and bobcats that have appeared in the house before.

When I went to bed tonight, the sheepfold was finally a lot quieter.

When he got up the next day, Zhao Yeqing recorded the date in his notebook and calculated the time when the ewe would give birth next time.

There hasn't been much physical work recently, and the sheep pen has been quiet for several days. Now the sheep pen is quiet, but I'm so used to it that I can't sleep.

Mu Xi went to the pine forest and picked a handful of fresh pine needles. He added some sorrel to boil water for Zhao Yeqing to drink every day.

After drinking it for two or three days, my sleep quality finally improved.

If nothing happens recently, Mu Xi will go into the mountains to collect herbs, while Zhao Yeqing will watch at home to prevent animals from damaging the crops.

In the afternoon, Mu Xi came back with a backpack on his back and took out a leaf bag. Zhao Yeqing took it and opened it -

Inside are red milk berries.

Milk berries are oblate and round, about the same size as large blueberries and similar in shape. The skin is matte and has a slightly frosted feel to the touch.

Mu Xi arranged the medicinal materials and did not forget to tell her, "It has been washed and can be eaten directly."

Zhao Yeqing couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

Milk berries have a sweet taste and a texture similar to blueberries. The juice inside is milky white, and the pulp is also milky white, wrapped in fine seeds.

The taste is no worse than the high-priced berries sold in the market, and I don’t know why it has not been widely cultivated.

He squatted next to Mu Xi holding a goat's milk fruit, watching him handle the medicinal materials, and feeding him a fruit from time to time.

"What is this?" She pointed to a medicinal plant with layers of purple flowers.
