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

Until midnight, Mu Xi opened the door.

Zhao Yeqing had already fallen asleep in a daze when he saw Mu Xi, who was half naked, opened the door and walked in. The wind was howling outside.

He closed the door and said softly, "Did I wake you up?"

Zhao Yeqing's voice sounded vaguely tired, "You're back. Why have you been gone for so long?"

Mu Xi had already taken a shower before coming in. Now he was shirtless, turned over a piece of clothing and came out to change into it. He replied,

"Xiao Hong can only walk up and down the mountain. The slope is too steep and he can't carry anything on his back. I have to carry everything up and down the mountain. Only when we reach the mountain col can Xiao Hong carry things on his back. We also encountered a herd of migrating wild boars. , it just took a while."

He lay on the bed, picked up the rabbit fur blanket and covered her belly, "Sleep first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhao Yeqing wanted to reach out and hug him to sleep, but felt it was too hot, so he pulled his arm over, held him in his arms and smelled the scent of soap on him before falling asleep again.

When he woke up again, Mu Xi was still awake.

She tiptoed out of bed and opened the door. The wind outside had weakened, and dark clouds were gradually gathering in the sky. It was estimated that it would rain in the past few days.

After feeding the livestock at home, Zhao Yeqing went to check the beehives again. She was afraid that moving the beehives yesterday would affect the bee colony, so she should not pack up and run away overnight.

Walking to the edge of the rapeseed field, I was relieved when I heard the familiar 'buzzing' sound.

Almost all the rapeseed flowers have bloomed, and the flowers are fragrant and golden.

The bees that had regained their composure were now working hard to collect nectar in the rapeseed fields. Zhao Yeqing couldn't wait to go to the fields to help them collect nectar.

Otherwise, when it rains or continues to rain, the rapeseed flowers may have difficulty in pollination and will not be able to produce rapeseed.

Mu Xi got up but saw no one. After putting on his clothes and washing up, he went out to look for someone and found Zhao Yeqing next to the rape field.

"What's wrong? You're looking sad."

Zhao Yeqing expressed his worries, "I'm afraid that the rapeseed won't produce rapeseed, and the rapeseed flowers will be easily knocked off if it rains heavily."

Mu Xi didn’t know much about growing rapeseed. “It’s usually easy for the flowers to fall off, or is there any way to prevent it before and after the rainy season?”

"Everything we can do has been done. Drainage ditches have been dug to prevent flooding. Problems with the plants can only be solved by applying fertilizers, such as urea or boron fertilizers, but fertilizers are not available now."

Mu Xi recalled what he had brought, "I brought back some pesticides and fertilizers that you put in the tool room. Would you like to take a look?"

Zhao Yeqing almost forgot that Mu Xi went back to get something this time, and after hearing this, he pulled him into the house.

"Where do you put it?"

"In the original house."

Zhao Yeqing walked straight in. She actually didn't know what fertilizers there were. Her eldest nephew had brought them all.

Compound fertilizer, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, urea... Urea is fine!

Just right for the current rape flowers.

Zhao Yeqing rummaged around and found that there were not many left that could be used. They were all suitable for vegetable fields, and few were suitable for grain fields. The portions were not large. At that time, his eldest nephew did not expect that this would happen.

"Urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used. Unfortunately, there is no boron fertilizer. It would be better if there is boron fertilizer, which can fix the flowers."

Boron fertilizer?

After hearing this, Mu Xi silently walked around to the back of a shelf and dug out a bag from the Chinese herbal medicines stored by the original owner.

He took it and opened it——

It's full of white borax.

Zhao Yeqing was stunned, "You put fertilizer and Chinese medicine together?"

Mu Xi shook his head, "This is Chinese medicine, the raw material of the Bingbo powder that can cure oral ulcers."

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

With borax, urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, Zhao Yeqing felt much more at ease.

Although it was just a temporary fix, at least I tried hard.

If there is still nothing we can do, we can only lament that time is fate.

If all the flowers were wiped out by the rain, in the worst case, she would pick up all the rapeseeds and stir-fry them.

Zhao Yeqing diluted the borax and lowered the concentration before spraying it into the ground.

Instead of spreading it into the soil, it is sprayed directly on the leaves of rapeseed flowers, allowing the nutrients to act directly on the flower buds and leaves on the upper part of the plant.

Mu Xi thought that the rapeseed field was too big to protect, but the vegetable garden could still struggle.

Just like he did when he was in Meishan, he built a shed with wooden sticks in the vegetable garden, and took out the bark collected from cutting down trees and covered it with it.

It is also best to strengthen the roof of your home before the rainy season.

After finishing the vegetable garden shed, Mu Xi climbed up the ladder and nailed the remaining wooden boards to the roof. He was afraid that there would be strong winds like last year and the house would not be able to withstand it, so he thought of going to the forest to cut down two trees.

He put the cart on the cow and said to Zhao Yeqing who was pulling peanuts in the peanut field,

"I'll go and be back soon."

Zhao Yeqing responded, "Be careful."

Her words were a bit slurred, and her mouth was stuffed with sweet, fresh peanuts.

The peanuts are almost ready to be harvested now. I have been busy digging trenches these past few days, but I have never seen the peanut field.

I thought that this peanut field would probably be stolen by voles.

But she pulled peanuts from the head of the field to the end of the field and found that not many peanuts were stolen.

Could it be that the field mouse also noticed the weather and had moved away?

Zhao Yeqing didn't have time to think about it, he kept moving his hands and pulled out all the peanuts.

If there are not many peanuts, they are usually taken home and picked by hand. If there are many, they are taken to the open space on the horizon and smashed hard to knock the peanuts off the roots.

Zhao Yeqing planned to take it all back and deal with it slowly at home after it rains.

The peanuts are all stored in the kitchen, and there is no way to stack them in the yard because it might rain at any time.

She picked a few peanuts, turned on the faucet and washed the dirt on them under the water, then peeled the shells and threw them into her mouth.

Fresh peanuts are sweet and have a flavor that fried peanuts don’t have.

Zhao Yeqing feels that fresh nuts are more delicious than roasted ones, such as peanuts and walnuts. Fresh nuts are moist and sweet when eaten fresh.

After finishing the handful of peanuts in his hand, Mu Xi led the cow back.

She picked two more, washed and peeled the shells, and stuffed the pale pink peanuts into Mu Xi's mouth.

There are two small trees on the cart, which are only as thick as a calf in diameter, but they are quite tall.

Mu Xi: "Saw it into sections to strengthen the house. It should be able to survive this rainy season."

Zhao Yeqing thought of the wood that supported the house last year, but it still shifted.

"Still the same as last year?"

Mu Xi made a gesture, "Last year there was no time to drive piles on the ground, so this year the wood will be reinforced in the ground. This way, the angle does not need to be too large, which saves a lot of area and makes it stronger."

Zhao Yeqing didn't quite understand. Anyway, since Mu Xi had thought about it, just leave it to him.

Mu Xi had an idea, and the construction speed was very fast. All the houses were reinforced the next day, and when he was thinking about processing the roofs,

Drops of cold rain hit his face.
