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

With a pickup truck, there is no trouble for three-wheelers. You can just move it into the rear bed and transport it back.

Mu Xi brought the tools with him. In addition to changing tires and air pumps, he also had adhesives for repairing tires. If there were no suitable tires to replace, he would have to fill in the damaged areas.

But the actual situation was worse than expected. After all, it had been left unmoved for seven years. In addition to the weathered wheels of the pickup truck, it was almost broken into slag, and it couldn't start a fire even after adding oil.

Mu Xi opened the car for repairs, and Zhao Yeqing went to various houses with garages to search for usable tires.

The two of them had consciously moved the intact car to a sheltered place, fearing that one day they would need these parts, but the tire size of the car they moved before did not match the size of the pickup truck.

While he was rummaging around, the ground suddenly shook, and Zhao Yeqing quickly walked out of the house to the open space.

With this slight shaking, the second floor of a wooden building collapsed. The shaking continued, and Mu Xi had already ran to her side.

"How's it going? You weren't hit, were you?"

Zhao Yeqing shook his head, "I'm fine, but if the houses in this tourist area take a few years, even if the brick houses don't decay and collapse like the wooden houses, I'm afraid they will become dangerous buildings."

Everything else was easy to say, but what Zhao Yeqing was most reluctant to part with were these building materials, especially ceramic tiles. She had previously thought that if she could wait until her masonry skills were upgraded, she could replace the bathroom and toilet walls at home with ceramic tiles.

How about prying off all the tiles as soon as possible and transporting them back?

But it’s fine if I don’t look at the crops at home for two or three days, but it won’t be good as time goes by. The tiles will definitely take a few days to finish, and it will probably take a month. The crops at home need to be taken care of every few days. .

Mu Xi: "Then you can do it at home. I haven't had much work to do recently, and I happen to be idle and bored. I'll come over during the day and do it, and then go back at night."

"also."

When the vibration subsided, many pieces of wall material were falling off the walls. Mu Xi continued to go back to repair the car. Zhao Yeqing now had to count the tiles in which rooms met the standards in addition to finding the wheels.

They have never experienced an earthquake before, and their buildings do not have high seismic resistance requirements. After an earthquake, I always worry that the house will collapse when I walk in it.

The impact on the wall was relatively large, but because the earthquake was not strong, there were only some cracks on the surface of the wall. The floor was least affected. As long as it was not damaged by falling objects, the tiles were basically intact.

The tourist area has only been developed for a few years, and these tiles are still relatively new. There are not many signs of use, so it is not difficult to pry them out.

The tiles of various colors and sizes in several rows and buildings have been counted. When the time comes, Mu Xi only needs to pry them out one by one according to the records in the book.

The planting basement and breeding basement at home are no longer in use. Only the cellar over the breeding basement still stores sweet potatoes.

The materials retrieved can be placed directly in the basement. It has been cleaned and can be used as a storage room.

When the pickup truck was repaired and there was no problem with normal ignition, Mu Xi took out his walkie-talkie and called Zhao Yeqing to get in the off-road vehicle, then moved the tricycle to the rear bed before driving back.

I returned to the lake and shoveled half a bucket of sand back. I will plant sweet potatoes again during autumn sowing in the second half of the year. The pigs at home eat a lot. More than half of what I planted in the second half of last year has been consumed. When beans, sesame, corn and green straw are harvested, Then you can plant sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes are one of the crops that like sandy soil the most. If more sandy soil can be mixed in, they should grow better.

After the sand and soil were brought back, the two of them carefully scooped up the asparagus with shovels, mixed the sand and soil underneath with the soil underneath, and then moved the asparagus back.

The soil under the moved asparagus must be compacted again and watered with rooting water. Shoveling up the asparagus and planting it back today is equivalent to transplanting it again, and rooting water is of course essential.

In the following time, Mu Xi went to the tourist area every day. Zhao Yeqing recorded the crops at home, and after doing daily weeding, he calculated that it was time to harvest corn stalks.

After harvesting, it has to be chopped and put into the silage cellar.

It has rained a lot recently, and the grass on the meadow is very wet. Cattle and sheep tend to have diarrhea after eating them. After Zhao Yeqing found signs of diarrhea, he stopped letting the cows and sheep go out to graze. Even if he let them go out, he would only let them out after they were full. go out.

Can reduce the intake of forage with rainwater leading to diarrhea.

Cattle and sheep eat a meal of silage at home in the morning before going out, so feed consumption has increased a lot. Fortunately, the climate is now warm and humid, and the fermentation process of silage is relatively smooth and the time is shortened.

Zhao Yeqing cut the straw again and again and sighed that this silage cellar was really practical. It was a right decision not to be lazy and build a cement silage cellar directly. If the previous owner's method of sealing fermentation in plastic bags was still used, it would probably not be enough now. used.

The corn stalks harvested this time were pulled out directly from the ground. It is easier to pull out the green stalks directly than to pull out the fruits after they grow.

You can also use a harvester to harvest directly, which is faster, but if you harvest like that, you have to use a hoe to dig out the corn roots in the field.

It's very laborious to bend down and dig, so it's easier to just pull it out.

The last two rows of corn are left to bear fruit as usual, so we can still have fresh corn when the soybeans are harvested in more than a month.

It took ten days to cut an entire field of corn stalks, pack them into the silo, compact them and seal them.

In the meantime, we had to weed and record the food and vegetable fields.

Mu Xi's work efficiency is also getting higher and higher. It used to take two days to finish the tiles in one room, but now he can finish one in one day, and it is not easy to break.

When Zhao Yeqing was free, he went there for a day and picked up the broken tiles and put them home. When he had time to pour cement in the backyard, these broken tiles could be embedded in the ground and spliced ​​together to make a path from wisteria to wisteria. Pass under the flower stand.

In the past ten days, there have been constant small earthquakes, almost one every day, sometimes lasting only ten seconds, sometimes lasting ten minutes.

A brick house in a tourist area had cracks in its walls and collapsed two days later, exposing the steel bars inside.

This house was at the intersection of driving into the tourist area. Mu Xi was worried about a second collapse, so he took a wall-breaking sledgehammer and knocked off the wall.

Got a lot of reinforced iron pipes.
