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

The chick had just hatched today and could not walk very steadily. Zhao Yeqing held it in his hand and was trembling with fear.

She was afraid of scaring it, so she put it on the ground.

Mu Xi squatted down to identify it, "This seems to be a gray-breasted bamboo chicken. When it grows up, the feathers on the chest will be gray, but you can't tell it now."

Pheasants are difficult to raise. Most pheasants are protected animals and cannot be completely domesticated artificially.

The three little pheasants have been following the old black hen. They should have been hatched by it. Zhao Yeqing was not sure that they would be able to raise them alive. Everything depends on this hen.

Pheasants love to eat bugs. The feed at home is a mixture of corn, peanuts and wheat, which should not be suitable for pheasants.

They will keep all the earthworms they dig out when they learn how to dig the cellar.

Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to go have breakfast first, while she went to water the vegetable field first.

The first batch of okra from the large vegetable garden is ready to be harvested. They are all about the size of a finger. They are the most fresh and tender when eaten at this time.

Beans, bitter melons, and cucumbers were also quite mature. Zhao Yeqing simply took a basket and took back all that could be harvested. It was better to put them in the cellar than to be exposed to the forty-degree sun.

The same thing about fruit and vegetables is that when they bear fruit, the bottom leaves will begin to wither and fall, supplying all the nutrients to the fruits above. Those with lush branches and leaves will not grow fruits.

This requires manual picking of leaves.

Zhao Yeqing pulled down the leaves on the main trunk of the pepper, leaving only the leaves on the side branches for the plant to carry out photosynthesis.

All kinds of peppers have matured a lot. The yield of peppers is high. There are about 20 peppers in one plant. There are fewer colored peppers, but they all grow very plump.

As long as they were ripe enough to last for two days, she picked them all.

The tomatoes in the small vegetable garden are the most difficult to maintain in the vegetable garden. After the weather got hot, the unexpanded fruits got navel rot, and the navel area turned black.

The grown fruits don't turn red very much. After planting for so long, this is the first time to harvest, and I can only harvest three tomatoes.

She never imagined that scrambled eggs with tomatoes would be so hard to come by.

With the recent temperature, pumpkins have stopped growing, and the flower buds will no longer bear fruit. Zhao Yeqing simply picked all the flowers. Rather than leaving them to wither, he might as well pick them back and fry them.

Pumpkin flowers taste sweet and have the fragrance of pumpkin, which is perfect for this summer when you have no appetite.

The sun had already appeared in the sky, and the water in the rice fields had been put away. Zhao Yeqing turned off the faucet and threw two handfuls of sweet potato leaves into the rabbit pen.

After Mu Xi finished his breakfast, he returned to the pit and continued digging.

The shoveled soil piled up at the entrance of the cave. Zhao Yeqing loaded it with an old bamboo basket and carried it to the forest on a pole to dump it.

If you find earthworms in the mound, catch them out and put them in a plastic bottle. You can go back and feed them to the pheasants later.

By ten o'clock in the morning, you have to go home. If you stay outside any longer, you will easily suffer from heat stroke. If you stay outside in such a high temperature for a long time while working, you will easily suffer from heat stroke and sudden death due to high temperature.

Mu Xi tidied up and went to the water pool to collect the fish cages as usual.

Zhao Yeqing brought him a water bottle, "Put some water in it, put the fish you caught in it, and pour it into the field to see if it can survive."

Mu Xi raised his eyebrows and took the bottle, "Then you don't plan to fertilize?"

Zhao Yeqing took back the water bottle instantly,

"That's okay."

You're being stupid again, aren't you?

Rather than eating fish, she wanted to eat fragrant rice.

-

The sun is too strong, and Luo Lu and Xue Ping don’t like to go out.

Zhao Yeqing thought that she would sleep in the cellar tonight, and the two of them could move in together.

The nests I made for them before were padded with cotton wool. After the weather got hot, they didn't like to go in. The size of the nest was also a bit small, so I just made a new one.

Zhao Yeqing put on his sun protection clothing, zipped it all the way up, covering half of his face, and with a straw hat on his head, he rushed out and dove into the forest before stopping.

She first collected some velvet grass. This kind of grass is tender green, will hardly grow old, is soft to the touch, and is most suitable for bedding.

Many trees in the forest had vines climbing on them. Zhao Yeqing pulled down the vines, pulled out the leaves on them, and rolled them up one by one to collect them.

He didn't stop until he collected a bundle, and then he sped out of the woods and ran to his house.

She used a knife to carefully hang off the rough skin on the cane. The cane became milky white and became softer, and then she began to weave.

First use rattan to fix the rice-shaped base at the bottom, and then start wrapping the rattan around the bottom.

Go around in circles and you can finish one in less than ten minutes.

The most difficult part of rattan weaving is that it takes effort to tighten the gaps created during the weaving. She doesn't use this to hold things, so she doesn't need to make it so tight.

I made a round rattan sleeping mat for each of them, with soft velvet grass spread on it.

The white rattan sleeping mat is covered with green and fluffy velvet grass, which is quite beautiful.

Zhao Yeqing carried Mushi and Xuebing up. The velvet grass was cool and they immediately lay down as soon as they touched each other. They lay inside and refused to get up.

It gave her a sense of accomplishment that came from her old mother.

Mu Xi came back with some bad news.

He found that the water level in the small pool seemed to have dropped a bit.

Their water source is a spring on the mountain, which is the same source as the small pool.

Zhao Yeqing turned on the faucet, and the water volume seemed to have become smaller.

If it doesn't rain and the temperature continues, the water source will be cut off, which will be a real desperate situation.

If the temperature continues to rise in the next few days, you will need to start storing large amounts of water.

Mu Xi disembowelled the fish he had just caught, removed its internal organs, tied it with a string, and hung it on the stove.

The wooden posts and planks had been drying in the sun all morning, and he slid the planks down the cellar wall from the cellar entrance.

Half of the square wooden pillars have already been slotted. Use a hammer to hammer in the unslotted ones against the grooved ones, and make the bed frame first.

The surrounding walls are made of stone bricks, which are not sealed with cement. They are just filled in the middle of the soil layer. A bed head needs to be made, otherwise it will be easy to rest your head on the mud.

The headboard of the bed is simply spliced ​​together with wooden boards and stuck in front of the bed frame. The mattress boards do not need to be fixed. You only need to put the wooden boards on the cross bars of the bed frame.

The two beds were completed very quickly. Zhao Yeqing drove Guoduo and Xuebing off the sleeping mats, picked up the sleeping mats and threw them into the cellar.

The two beds are one meter wide and two meters long, with only five centimeters between them when placed side by side.

There is less than a square foot of space left at the end of the bed, which can accommodate two sleeping mats.

Zhao Yeqing threw down the cotton wool and pillows used to make the bed, and Mu Xi caught them below and made the bed.

The area inside the cellar was too small. When Mu Xi was making beds there, Zhao Yeqing never got out. After the bed was made, he couldn't help but curiously climbed down to feel it.

The two small beds took up most of the space and looked decent. Zhao Yeqing took off his sun protection coat and climbed into bed and lay down.

It's like the bed I slept on when I was in school. The wooden bed board is only padded with a layer of cotton wool, which is a bit hard, but it's still acceptable.

The experience of sleeping in the cellar was a bit novel. She turned around and wanted to say something to Mu Xi, but the two beds were too close to each other, and their eyes met for a moment.
