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

December 3033, 7

The rice seeds have been saturated with water. Two days ago, Zhao Yeqing fished out the rice seeds and put them into a woven bag according to Mu Xi's method. The mouth of the bag was tied with a rope to allow the seeds to germinate inside.

Now two days have passed, and when I open the bag, most of the rice seeds inside have sprouted.

The newly grown buds are white and thin, like small bugs emerging from the pulp of bayberry.

Pour it out carefully and you can take it to the rice field for sowing in a short time.

Originally, they thought of waiting until the seedlings turned into seedlings before planting them in the fields, but now that the temperature is difficult to control, it would be safer to plant them in advance.

Maybe it's because it's the dog days of summer, the temperature has been high, and there's a red high temperature warning on the radio every day.

The rice fields have been soaked in water for so many days, and the mud inside has rotted away.

There is a drainage outlet beside the rice field. Before planting today, some excess water should be drained away to leave moist mud to prevent the light seeds from floating after entering the water.

The two of them each have a small bowl of seeds and sow them together starting from the left and right sides of the rice field.

The rice seeds have sprouts. When taking the seeds, you cannot put your hands into the bowl to dig them out. It is easy to damage the germ of the seeds. It is best to gently pour them into the palm of your hand and then spread them evenly in the field.

Zhao Yeqing wore plastic rain boots and got stuck in the field before he took two steps. Mu Xi, who was barefoot in the field, walked over and pulled Zhao Yeqing out of the mud.

"It's hard to walk in there with plastic shoes. It's best to take off your shoes. If you're afraid of getting dirty, don't force yourself down. I can do it myself."

Zhao Yeqing shook his head. She was not afraid of getting dirty, but she was a little afraid of the unknown in the mud. But at this time, she still wanted to overcome it.

He took off his rain boots and put them aside, stepping into the mud with his bare feet.

It's a wonderful touch. The mud floor where you have soaked in the mountain spring is cool even if you are basking in the sun. The moment you step in, you will be surrounded by soft mud, which makes it a little itchy.

It's much easier to walk after taking off the shoes. You don't have to use too much force to pull out the stuck feet. It's easier to lift the feet gently.

It only took the two of them more than half an hour to sow all the rice fields.

Mu Xi took out a new broom from the house. This was hand-knitted by an old man in the past. The material is broom grass, which is also a kind of wild vegetable. It can be eaten in spring and summer, and will turn red in autumn. The old broom grass It can be used as a broom.

Use a broom to pat the sown rice fields gently to sink the seeds into the ground to prevent them from being eaten by birds in the forest.

Zhao Yeqing inspected the fruits of his labor in the vegetable garden.

The recovery ability of plants is still very strong. It only took about ten days from half-dead after the rain to now full of life.

The peppers, eggplants, tomatoes and okra all started to bloom again one after another, and the cowpeas also started to bear fruit again. There were two or three beans hanging down from each flower pod.

The leaves of the sweet potatoes are so dense that they need to be cleaned. They grow too fast and get old quickly. People are reluctant to eat them, but rabbits love to eat them.

The small vegetable patch that was originally planted next to the rabbit circle was completely cold. He didn't care about it during the hailstorm. Now there are some vegetable leaves growing here and there. Zhao Yeqing doesn't intend to take care of it. At most, he can give it a ladle of water when feeding the rabbit. When it grows, feed it to the rabbit as a snack.

After so many days, the little rabbits have grown small down. Among the seven little rabbits, three are gray and two are white, and the other two have impure coats with a mixture of gray and white.

Zhao Yeqing tried her best to restrain herself from looking at them. They were so cute and she was afraid that she would be reluctant to eat them in the future.

The bitter melon vines beside the fence of the small vegetable garden have spread, occupying half of the fence of the small vegetable garden.

Zhao Yeqing was somewhat surprised to find that the ripe pumpkins that had not been watered yesterday had all turned yellow today and were lying on the ground with a clear yellow color.

She decided to let it grow for a while, until the sugar in the pumpkin settled and it would be sweet enough when cooked.

When the chrysanthemum vegetable market was about to be eaten, it would have been okay to wait a few more days, but Zhao Yeqing liked to eat the tender ones and picked them all without leaving any hands.

Leafy vegetables can be planted as you pick them. Except for those that can be eaten by breaking off the leaves and leeks that can grow repeatedly after being cut, other leafy vegetables are pulled out and planted again.

After being busy in the morning, after nine o'clock, the sun became stronger. After staying outside for a while, my skin felt burning.

Zhao Yeqing didn't want to stay at home and wanted to go to the woods to see if there were any fresh seasonal ingredients.

Mu Xi said that he seemed to have seen peaches fruiting when he went up the mountain that day.

Only then did Zhao Yeqing remember that he had picked peach blossoms in the spring. He originally planned to make wine, but later made peach blossom porridge.

Mu Xi pointed in the direction of the corner of his house, "There, your grandfather buried several jars of wine. If you want to drink, I will dig them out."

Zhao Yeqing was shocked and said that he had never heard of this at all.

Mu Xi recalled it and found it funny, "Your grandfather was afraid that your grandmother would know about it, so he didn't dare to bury it in the corner of your house. He probably thought that if he was discovered, he would frame it for my grandfather. I saw him when he was burying it."

Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but let out a snort, and immediately said, "I will tell grandma the next time I worship."

It's hotter to stay in the house than in the woods on this day.

Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to go pick peaches together.

The vegetation in Meishan is dense, and the forest blocks out the sun. It feels like the temperature can be several degrees lower.

In this weather, snakes, insects, rats, and ants are also afraid of the sun, avoid meadow areas, and become active in the woods.

Mu Xi let Zhao Yeqing walk behind and he opened the way in front. The distance from his home to the peach tree was only a few hundred meters when he encountered two snakes.

Fortunately, it wasn't big enough. Mu Xi picked it up with a stick and threw it out. It swam away as soon as it hit the ground.

It takes ten minutes to walk to the place. There are not many leaves on the peach trees, maybe because the nutrients are supplied to the peaches.

The peach tree is a hairy peach tree. It is not very tall, only about five meters, but the crown of the tree is very large. The fruits on it are crisp, about the size of an ordinary egg. The sweetness is not high, but the fragrance is strong.

Zhao Yeqing directed Mu Xi to go up the tree to pick peaches, just like he did when he was a child, standing under the tree and pointing out the country.

"The one on the left is redder...not that one, go to the left."

Mu Xi put everything he could pick into his frame on the tree. If he couldn't pick anything, he would knock it down with a wooden stick and let Zhao Yeqing pick it up.

She didn't give up until he said he couldn't pretend anymore.

There were many amber crystals on the peach tree. Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to look up and see if there were any on the branches. If there were any, he would pick them all off.

This is the peach gum she has been craving for since spring. There was also peach gum in spring, but not as much as now. .

The peach gum on the tree is soft when it is fresh and breaks into pieces when pinched, like crushed jelly.

Now that the weather is hot and the sun is strong, the peach gum on the trees has been baked and dried, making it hard and crisp, like beautiful amber gems.

Zhao Yeqing was squatting under a tree and picking peach gum. Mu Xi suddenly jumped down from the tree, his figure falling from the sky, and the wooden stick used to beat peaches in his hand was stabbed straight into her back...
