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

People in the mountains go to bed early. As long as there is no work to be done at night, the two of them will basically rest at ten o'clock.

Mu Xi got up at five o'clock in the morning to water the vegetable garden, while Zhao Yeqing slept until after six o'clock.

She didn't sleep well last night. In her dream, Mu Xi pinched her neck like a chicken and tossed her around.

As a result, when I saw Mu Xi after getting up, his eyes were full of sadness.

After breakfast, Mu Xi went out to chop bamboo for her, while Zhao Yeqing wandered around the house to see if there was any work to do.

Since there is no shortage of sweet potato leaves, there is no need to cut grass for the rabbits in the morning. Just go to the sweet potato field and cut two handfuls of leaves to feed the rabbits.

Rabbit Daddy Mu Xi will clean it every morning. The rabbit pens she sees when she wakes up in the morning are all clean, which is very conducive to her good mood throughout the day.

The little rabbits have grown up a lot, and they are all fluffy little dumplings, so cute.

The chickens and geese in the yard have not been fed yet, stretching their necks and crowing loudly.

The symphony of giggle and yueyueyue is very confusing.

There were too many sweet potato leaves, so I cut a handful and brought them back to give them extra food.

It’s time to change the water in the pond behind the house that cools the geese. Basically every three to five days, she comes to change the water in the pond. As the weather gradually gets hotter, this frequency becomes insufficient.

The water in the pool evaporates quickly and becomes smelly more easily. It seems that it will need to be replaced every two days in the future.

The sun is rising slowly, and the sun that just emerged is still a fiery orange color. The current sunshine is not hot yet, and it is best to use this kind of sunshine to bask in the dog days of summer.

Zhao Yeqing put on a straw hat to protect his face from the sun, and took advantage of the sunshine to go out and clear out the gutters that were not done yesterday.

The drainage ditch for the small vegetable garden is still half finished. She plans to build the large vegetable garden first. The small vegetable garden has a wall to block part of it, so it will not be too sunny if done later.

Digging the vents and then digging the drainage ditches was not a small project. When Mu Xi returned home carrying the bamboo, she had just finished digging the vents and had not done any drainage yet.

After Mu Xi asked her how to dig the drainage ditch, he rushed her home to make the water curtain device.

A long bamboo log was placed in the yard. Mu Xi did not drive a tricycle to go there, but carried it back on his shoulders, so it was a whole bamboo log that had not been segmented, but only the leaves were removed.

Zhao Yeqing measured the length of each greenhouse and sawed the bamboo according to the size.

Drill holes in each bamboo, measure the distance, and then fix the water channel and the load-bearing column between the devices.

The heights of greenhouses vary from greenhouse to greenhouse, and the problem of water flow transport must also be taken into consideration. Only by going high first and then low can the smooth flow of the entire waterway be ensured.

Starting from the greenhouse with the highest vines, to the fruits and vegetables, then to the fruit area and finally to the leafy vegetable area.

Roots are covered with mulch and are not suitable for installation. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots are relatively drought-tolerant, so she gave up on this area.

Finally, all the water will flow from the drainage ditch in the leafy vegetable area into the forest, and it can also water the plants in the forest that are short of water due to high temperature.

The device was tied to each greenhouse and the faucet was turned on for the first trial run.

The first time it didn't go well, the water flow was too strong, the holes for the device were drilled a little small, and the water washed away before it even flowed down the device.

Zhao Yeqing tried to turn on the water in the faucet a little lower, but it was better than once, but the area covered by the water flowing down from the hole was too small.

I did an experiment in a small vegetable garden before. The greenhouse area of ​​the small vegetable garden is small, and the water flow from the holes is barely enough. The area of ​​the large vegetable garden outside is too large, and the small holes are not dense enough, so the water flow cannot fully cover it.

Mu Xi walked over and took a look, "Why don't you put something on the greenhouse?"

Zhao Yeqing understood what he meant instantly and set up obstacles on the plastic film of the greenhouse. When the water flows down and touches the obstacles, it will divert. One stream of water will become two streams, doubling the area covered.

However, the barrier should not be too large or too thick, otherwise the area under the barrier will not be able to cool down, and the water flow may not adhere to the plastic film and splash out when it hits the barrier.

Therefore, the contact area between the obstacle and the water is best to have a smooth arc.

Mu Xi suggested, “Or just use the simplest toothpick.”

Zhao Yeqing took a few toothpicks and tried to insert one into the plastic film. The water flow left the toothpick on top and split into two parts the moment it touched the toothpick.

This is good. It can be inserted directly into the membrane fabric and does not need to be fixed. However, it needs constant management in the future. If it is skewed by the water flow, it needs to be adjusted.

After the shunt is completed, the entire device will initially run perfectly.

Zhao Yeqing ran up to the terrace on the second floor and took a photo below.

Mu Xi was in the yard, putting away the tools that Zhao Yeqing had confiscated after finishing the installation, and asked the person taking pictures on the terrace, "Before I cut the bamboo, I went over to take a look. There are wild grapes. Do you want to eat them?"

"eat!"

Zhao Yeqing turned around excitedly and trotted downstairs. How could she forget that the most delicious thing in the mountains in summer is wild grapes.

Wild grapes are near the stream, upstream of the small pool.

When Mu Xi went to see it in the morning, he cleared part of the road and saw from a distance that the wild grapes were still there, with a lot of fruits hanging on them, so he didn't go there anymore, thinking that she would definitely come when he told Zhao Yeqing.

This road was probably used by people when the two elderly families were there, and no one has been there since. It is overgrown with weeds, and the shortest ferns almost reach the knees.

Thatch is growing most vigorously, and its leaves have reached two meters in height.

The surrounding trees were covered with vines, and there was silence all around. Even the chirping of birds had become less frequent. Only a few frogs could be heard croaking from the stream not far away.

The overgrown plants made it very difficult to clear the road, but it was not completely fruitless. Zhao Yeqing found a nest of eggs in the thatch.

Mu Xi looked over as she exclaimed, "This is a wild egg."

Zhao Yeqing happily picked up the egg and put it in his waist basket, "Take this back and hatch it for the chickens at home. Can it hatch?"

"Okay, as long as it's an egg that can hatch, it should be fine."

Wait until you get home to see if there are fertilized eggs in the eggs, then give them to the hens, saying that you can't keep a nest of pheasants at home.

The two of them worked for more than an hour and finally cleared the path, which was less than 500 meters away in a straight line.

This patch of wild grapes grew more vigorously than when I was a child. The vines climbed up the branches and spread over a large area. There were bunches of black and purple fruits hanging on them, which looked very spectacular.

The fruit of this wild grape is different from ordinary grapes. It is small and round. The fruit is less than the size of a marble. Zhao Yeqing reached out and picked one, put it to his mouth, squeezed out the pulp and ate it. It was delicious. Narrowed his eyes.

Just like when I was a child, there is almost no trace of sourness, and the fruity flavor is intoxicating.

She couldn't wait to let Mu Xi have a taste, only to realize that his attention was on the soles of her feet.

There are some animal tracks under the vines. They are very messy and cannot be seen clearly. What is certain is that there must be more than one animal.

Some of the grapes hanging down near the ground had been chewed a lot, and it seemed that the animals were not very tall.
