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

The wisteria flowers in the backyard have also grown from bare to small leaves. Along with the small leaves, there are also strings of wisteria buds.

The weeds in the corner quietly sprouted new shoots, and even the citrus trees turned into dark green and tender green.

The desolation in the backyard faded away. When Zhao Yeqing transplanted all the vegetable seedlings into the greenhouse in the courtyard, looking around, everything was full of vitality.

The plastic film that originally covered the banana tree and dragon fruit was also removed. Zhao Yeqing originally thought that he would be able to eat dragon fruit this year, but the style did not look like it would bear fruit. After a winter, the stems and leaves did not swell. , presumably it will take another year to grow this year.

The sun was shining brightly today, and she was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket with a silk base and a silk outer layer. She was so hot that she was sweating all over her head.

After finally transplanting the seedlings, I spread the seeds of green leafy vegetables into the ground, and took care of the backyard. I went back to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After changing my clothes, I came out and saw Mu Xi who was also very happy. Coming in from the yard sweating profusely.

He went to plow the ground. This year, he has taken out all the seeds and dried them in the sun. After plowing the ground in the past two days, he can plant them.

Before Zhao Yeqing could ask, he answered Zhao Yeqing's question first: "The plowing is almost done. I just need to fertilize the ground in the afternoon... This tool plows the ground really fast, but the vibration makes my hands numb."

He rubbed his big arms, which were thicker than Zhao Yeqing's calves. Zhao Yeqing asked him to sit down and used his hands to knead some of his tight muscles.

After she finished kneading him, it was Mu Xi's turn to knead her little hands.

The wild grass on the meadow has not grown up yet. The family's cattle and sheep are kept in the barn for feeding, and the few dogs naturally do not go out.

Xiao Hei stayed in the yard to bask in the sun, yawned and looked at the two people in front of him, you were rubbing me and I was rubbing you, then he simply turned his head and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

After the weather gets warmer, a large group of ducks and two geese at home can be put into the pond to play for a while.

Why are there two geese? Before winter, one suddenly fluttered its wings and flew away. Naturally, such a loyal animal as geese would not allow three geese to be squeezed into a relationship, so one of them was depressed. .

During the Chinese New Year, Mu Xi couldn't bear to see it continue like this, so he made it into a stewed goose in an iron pot. There were also a few golden corn pancakes stuck to the side of the pot. The pancakes were fried until they were golden and crispy, and they were stewed. Once the goose was dipped in the soup, it was so fragrant that Zhao Yeqing ate three of them.

The remaining two wild geese... should be said to be big geese. This time Zhao Yeqing carefully checked their wings. He was too light before, so that one did not lose the ability to fly. Before winter, the wild geese flew south. , it saw a large army in the sky and followed it.

After confirming that the remaining two would not have such an accident again, Zhao Yeqing put them into the pool.

She didn't know if eggs would be laid after this spring. If eggs weren't laid, she planned to go to the lake to retrieve two more.

During this period, the fish tanks in the fish ponds have laid eggs, but the fish eggs have not yet hatched. The ducks and geese do not have to worry about eating all the fry when they take a bath in the fish pond.

We can no longer put them in the lotus pond. The water is mostly empty. I just put the ground seeds in again some time ago. I will fill the lotus pond with water again when they grow older.

Mu Xi took care of several large pieces of land, including the vegetable garden. Zhao Yeqing threw the grown sweet potato vines into the ground at dawn the next day and buried them. They had to be planted every year and were necessary for feeding pigs. Preparing feed is simple and easy to grow and produce large yields.

However, this time it was not planted in the vegetable garden. Planting one type of crop in one place will cause serious nutritional deficiencies in the soil. Zhao Yeqing planted sweet potatoes in the grain field and planted red and mung beans in the vegetable garden.

Red and mung beans are only used when making desserts. You don’t need to have too many. A vegetable garden is enough to grow these two kinds of beans.

This is not the case with soybeans, sesame and peanuts, which need to be squeezed for oil. If you plant too little, you won't be able to squeeze out much oil.

The grain field outside the two of them is basically about half an acre. Based on the average yield of soybeans per mu in previous years, which is about 300 kilograms, half an acre is about 150 kilograms. If you leave some soybeans that you usually eat, you can Get thirty pounds of soybean oil.

According to the proportion, you can get about 70 to 80 kilograms of soybean meal. Although soybean meal is the product left after oil extraction, it is a good thing. It can be used as fertilizer after being decomposed and can be fed to the livestock at home. After eating it, the meat will grow very quickly. , the coat color will become better.

Especially the livestock after giving birth. This time the cow did not get soybean meal. Zhao Yeqing felt sorry for it, so he said before the Chinese New Year that he must plant soybeans this year, and the soybean meal would be fed to the big man in the family as soon as possible. Hero.

Soybean seeds are easy to preserve. They don't get damaged much if they are not exposed to the sun very often. Zhao Yeqing threw all the seeds that floated on the water to the chickens to eat. After soaking the rest for a while, he took them to the ground and spread them.

Zhao Yeqing spread soybeans and Mu Xi spread sesame seeds. It only took a whole morning for the two fields to go from sowing to covering with soil and watering.

After planting these two things in the morning, I have to plant cotton in the afternoon.

Cotton is also sown in holes. When Zhao Yeqing planted soybeans in the morning, he didn't bother to use a seeder. Anyway, after gaining experience in planting, he just threw the seeds directly into the hole, and every throw was accurate.

Mu Xi planted cotton for the first time. He was afraid that he would not be sure, so he used a seeder to plant it and put two or three seeds in a hole.

Zhao Yeqing had planted a few plants before, but they didn't grow very well. The cotton bolls were a little sick at the back. She could only peel out the seeds of the few plants that were still intact, but the cotton bolls of those plants didn't grow well. I wonder if it would be a problem. Affects the yield of replanted seeds.

The original intention was to save seeds, but unexpectedly it was not very successful.

But we can't ignore it completely. Zhao Yeqing takes out the old seeds every year and saves them. This cotton is a regular sight every year. The germination rate of the old seeds becomes low in the fourth year, which happens to be the extremely cold period. .

Later, when the weather got better, I took them out to plant, but they still didn’t do well.

Zhao Yeqing also knew the reasons. First, he was not originally thinking about the crops to be planted. There were too many things to take care of. Second, these crops were really difficult to grow and were particularly susceptible to diseases and insect pests. They would be eaten by all kinds of insects. One mouthful.

It's really hard to guard against.

After Mu Xi learned from Zhao Yeqing's experience, he first treated the land with limestone, then brought a load of sandy loam to improve the soil quality, and then planted the seeds.

When Zhao Yeqing was planting seeds in Mu Xi, he transplanted passion fruit seedlings in the field next to him.

The original scaffolding was just enough to plant all the passion fruit seedlings, and she moved the remaining two to the yard as usual.

After finishing the spring sowing at home, the two of them could finally rest for a while, and slept until ten o'clock in the morning.

Still dreaming, the two of them were suddenly awakened by a roar...
