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

Last time I went back, I only came to pick up power supplies, various daily necessities, consumables, light bulbs and wires.

I haven't gotten the electric fan back yet. I thought I would get it after the rain, but I didn't expect the temperature to rise so quickly.

The river in the col is now swollen, and it is unlikely that it will be able to go back for a while. We will have to wait until the water recedes.

The wind couldn't blow against him due to heat stroke, so Mu Xi fanned Zhao Yeqing from the waist down, and waited until Zhao Yeqing fell asleep before getting up and going out.

I dug out all the medicinal materials I had hoarded at home and took wild chrysanthemums, honeysuckle and licorice to make herbal tea.

People suffering from heatstroke should also eat soft and heat-relieving foods.

Mu Xi planned to cook a pot of porridge first so that he could drink it when Zhao Yeqing woke up.

I was thinking of putting some corns in the porridge to cook together, which would make it less monotonous. But when I opened the cabinet where I stored grains, I saw the remaining mung beans inside.

Mung beans are also a good thing to relieve the heat. Mu Xi decisively added mung beans to the rice and soaked them together.

You can't soak things for too long today because they are prone to fermentation. After soaking for an hour, put them in a casserole and cook them.

When Zhao Yeqing woke up, she felt much better. Mu Xi came in from outside and saw her sitting up, and quickly stepped forward.

Seeing that she still looked a little bad and worried, she asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Yeqing nodded, "Much better, not too dizzy."

"Can you get up and eat something? Or should you eat it in bed?"

"I can get up."

Even if you have slept enough, you still have to get up, but if you sleep for a long time, your body will become more tired as you sleep.

Mu Xi cooked the mung bean porridge and took it to the side to cool down in advance. Now it's just right to eat, along with the cooled herbal tea.

Bringing the things over, "There is no flavor in the porridge. Do you want it sweet or salty?"

Zhao Yeqing took a look and said, "Ah, mung bean porridge, let's have something sweet..."

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, "These mung beans...are they from the cabinet you got?"

Mu Xi nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Yeqing looked at the porridge in the bowl and blinked, "...That's what I saved for planting."

Bean sprouts sprouted in winter, but there were not many left. Zhao Yeqing was reluctant to eat them, thinking of planting them in the ground in summer.

If she hadn't seen this bowl of porridge, she would have almost forgotten that there were still mung beans left to grow.

Mu Xi was also stunned. He walked to the cabinet and took out the remaining mung beans. There was still about half a catty left in it.

He shook his half-empty bag, a little embarrassed, "Is it enough?"

Zhao Yeqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that he felt a little guilty, he hurriedly said: "That's enough. If you plant less, you can feel more relaxed. If you hadn't cooked the porridge, I would have forgotten it. Fortunately, you reminded me."

Mu Xi poured out all the mung beans and selected the plump ones.

"You rest and I'll do the planting."

The original plan was to plant rapeseed in the remaining half of the peanut and corn fields, but now we have to change our plan.

Rapeseed is still planted on the corn field, and mung beans are planted on the peanut field.

Soybeans are planted in corn fields, which can effectively promote the growth of rapeseed. Mung beans are also legumes and have rhizobia in their roots. Sowing them on peanut fields this season can also be beneficial to sowing peanuts or other crops next time.

Zhao Yeqing lay at home for two days. Mu Xi took care of the remaining young seedlings in the cotton field in two days. After replanting them, the mung bean seeds were also dried and can be sown into the ground after the water on the ground dries out. Go inside.

After two days of strong sunshine, a lot of water in the ground evaporated, and the cotton finally recovered.

Mu Xi plowed the two plots of land again and sprinkled them with fertilizer.

This plowing is like combing your hair. It looks dry on the surface, but you can comb it with a comb. There is still a lot of moisture underneath.

After plowing the ground, you have to dry it again.

This time, the drying is faster, and it only lasts for one day. When the sun is about to set in the afternoon, the seeds can be planted in the ground.

Mu Xi first planted the seeds of rapeseed. The growth cycle of rapeseed is relatively long, and mung beans can be harvested in about three months.

Zhao Yeqing breathed a sigh of relief after her heatstroke symptoms subsided, and she reflected on her carelessness.

When the temperature first hit last year, she was very cautious and tried to avoid going out to work in the high temperature for fear of getting heat stroke.

But this year, it is obvious that we are not very vigilant, have been a lot lax, and have been a lot greedy.

Last year, I was obviously not as wealthy as I am now, but my mentality was correct. This year, I didn’t lack everything, but I was greedy and wanted better things.

Now I think about what will happen even if the cotton field is really gone, that is, the original cotton mattress is blown away, so I can continue to sleep on a hard bed. It’s not like I don’t have cotton clothes to wear in winter. Compared with my own health, it is simply worthless. carry.

She suddenly understood why some people become more greedy the richer they are.

Seeing that Mu Xi had planted half of the field with rapeseed, she hurriedly called the people back.

"Work slowly. Today has been hard enough. We'll talk about the mung beans tomorrow."

Chilled sweet stalks are the best way to relieve the heat. The two of them gnawed on sweet stalks and watched a show. The afterglow of the setting sun filtered in through the sorghum behind the house and fell on the ground next to it. There were several dogs lying on the straw mats on the ground. Sleeping lazily, his tail flicks from time to time.

Zhao Yeqing was fascinated by the sight, but his hands were not idle. After finishing the sweet stick, he wiped off the sweetness on his hands with a wet towel, then opened the plastic bag containing the beef jerky, took out one and ate it.

The sound of the plastic bag made the lying dogs prick up their ears. After smelling the smell of beef jerky, they saw four dog heads rising from the ground in an instant.

Mu Xi opened their exclusive snack bag. Inside was beef jerky and mutton jerky, without any seasoning. They were dried in the sun and one stick was enough to last for a long time.

One person and four dogs ate beef jerky with gusto.

After Zhao Yeqing figured it out, he felt that the pace of his life had suddenly slowed down a lot. Many things he thought he had to do were actually not that necessary.

After slowly planting mung beans, I thought about going to the field to pull weeds again, but I thought it was okay. A lot of weeds grew up after the rain. Pulling weeds now is good for the crops, but the weeds are still small. It would be better to pull it out after it has grown taller in two days. It would be better to start with it.

Humidity and heat are as good for weeds as they are for rice.

The rice that had just been planted for a month looked healthier than the first season of rice. She wandered around the field to check if there were any voles, and found that the number of field snails was gradually increasing.

There are also some little frogs on the horizon.

It's not a pure green little frog, but a yellow-green tiger frog with stripes on its back, commonly known as a frog.

Zhao Yeqing was overjoyed. The ecology of her paddy fields was getting better and better. Not only did the field snails eat insects, but the tiger frogs could also eat insects. Their feces could also fertilize the fields. The symbiosis between rice and frogs couldn't be better.

When there are more frogs in the field, we can catch a few for cooking.

Stir-fried frog, griddle frog... are much more delicious than bullfrog.
