In my days as a farmer

After waking up, Xia Dongli felt that his world had changed.

Most of his pillow was ruthlessly taken over by a quail, and the criminal was still lying on his back carelessly, sleeping with his feet up in an extremely enchanting posture.

The small bombs planted on the floor of the bedroom have basically dried up. I don't know if it's because of his psychology. There seems to be a strange smell in the air.

Xia Dongli only felt that he wanted to lie back and get up again.

But his pillow has become a bird's nest!

Just when Xia Dongli was full of entanglements and wanted to escape from reality, he suddenly heard a strange cry, which was obviously a voice he was familiar with, but it was extremely thin: "Woo chirp!"

……what sound?

Xia Dongli looked in the direction where the sound came from. When the situation over there caught his eye, Xia Dongli's instinct prompted him to pull out the phone from under the pillow, and "click" to leave this scene in his photo album.

He moves very skillfully without even looking at the screen.

"Woo—" Rice cried out in protest, his eyes very sad.

Xia Dongli hurriedly took back his phone, and as if nothing had happened, he glanced at the ground where there was almost no safe area, and then at the pet dog who couldn't move. After three seconds of mental training, he put his feet into the slippers in pain and directly Stepping on the chicken poop, he rushed to rescue his beloved dog with desperate steps.

Rice lay flat on the icy ground, and its little kennel covered with a warm quilt had already been taken over by a group of furries, and even though it was so complacent, some chicks jumped on him and smashed the rice's body. The long hair is used as a warm mattress.

The dog's beautiful fur is in a mess, and there are six yellow-orange chickens lying on its body with its breathing... No, it should be seven, and there is a flat-mouthed chicken that is huddled in the dog's chest Inside the neck nest, the poor Damiwang looked helpless at the sleeping cubs on his body. He didn't know how long he had kept this position, and he didn't dare to call. He could only blink when his master got up. Eyes begged him for help.

Xia Dongli reached out and took the cubs out of Mao Mao's nest and stuffed them back into the small basket. Not to mention, the part of the cubs against the dog was really warm, like a small hot water bottle.

But the cubs were very dissatisfied with being taken away from the warm belly. The originally quiet little chirps made a chirping protest almost the moment they left the heat source. Only the water bag gained a trace of peace.

The indoor environment is moderately warm for humans. Xia Dongli turned on the air conditioner, but the air conditioner worked hard in the early spring environment when the temperature approached below zero in the middle of the night, which meant that the room temperature was kept below 20 degrees. This temperature is indeed a little bit for the cubs. it's too cold,

Xia Dongli, who couldn't wake up after falling asleep, didn't know what happened last night, but he could probably guess a thing or two from the scene.

It should be that my dog ​​suddenly wanted to see the chicken in the middle of the night, so he dragged and pulled the chicken basket down, and then all the little bombs were released.

Xia Dongli used to put a baby warmer on the bottom of the basket, but now that the basket is upside down, it means that the little chirps have no heat source, so it's no wonder that the little ones ran out to get rice to keep warm.

Just as he took the last duckling out of Rice's neck, his dog jumped up suddenly, and before Xia Dongli could react, the shepherd dog jumped out like lightning.

Bianmu's No.1 agility, which has occupied the dog's agility competition all the year round, allowed him to get out of the dog door without stopping. After a while, Xia Dongli heard his rice coming from outside. happy growl.

... How does she look like a new mother who is finally able to go out after confinement?

Xia Dongli was angry and funny, but within a few seconds, his expression froze, and then gradually twisted.

After a while, Xia Dongli roared angrily: "Rice! Come back to me!!"

His cunning dog just put oil on the soles of his feet and walked away before Xia Dongli realized that he was going to settle accounts with him!

The back of Da Mi Wang running on the wet black soil was very chic, as if he hadn't heard anything, his four claws fluttered, leaving only a mess for its owner to take care of.

The hard-working Xia Dongli had to cover his forehead and pinch his nose to clean up the mess for his pet. After cleaning up the room, he served the dog who came back from a stroll to finish breakfast. Xia Dongli rubbed his old Waist, after a rough meal of instant noodles, he walked out of the house with a hoe.

The entire hillside is wet after the snow has faded, and the land that has been frozen for a winter is beginning to soften, and it will be possible to plow in a few days.

However, the uneven terrain of Xia Dongli's land is not suitable for large-scale mechanical operations, and he doesn't have much land, so Xia Dongli plans to tidy up the land piecemeal by himself in the next few days.

It's not that he thinks too highly of his hands-on ability, but that the plants he wants to plant really don't need too delicate farming operations.

Under the help of Assistant Xiao Li, Xia Dongli connected with the local Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After comparing the conditions of the two parties, he was recommended a pasture variety called "Oriental goat bean".

This is a forage variety introduced and cultivated from Europe. Its advantage lies in its excellent drought and cold resistance.

Compared with the water-loving alfalfa, goat bean plants require much less water, especially during the germination stage.

This means that in the dry spring, most areas of goat bean do not need artificial irrigation, which is better than alfalfa.

What's even more rare is that goat bean has excellent milk-promoting ability, and its protein content is no less than that of alfalfa, the king of forage grass. Moreover, its digestibility is very high, and animals are not easy to suffer from digestive tract diseases.

However, compared with its well-known competitors, the reason why this ancient variety is unknown in the grass world naturally has its constraints. First, its hard seed rate is very high, nearly half.This also means that its self-browsing ability is very unsatisfactory.

And even the seeds that germinate successfully can hardly survive the slow growth period of the first year.

As a high-yield forage grass with a high-yielding period of 20 years, its growth rate in the first year is much lower than most weeds, so weeding needs to be carried out continuously during the planting process, otherwise the nutrients will be easily taken away by weeds , which increases management costs.

The third and most important point - its peak growth period is after the second year.

An extra year of growth cycle is an extra cost and risk for farmers, so even though the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been trying to promote this variety, the progress is not ideal.

However, just last year, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences bred an improved goat bean. Although its growth rate did not increase too much, the hard seed rate was controlled at 30%, the pod rupture time was greatly prolonged, and the lodging resistance was also improved. promote.

This means that the difficulty of planting is further reduced, and it is said that the new varieties can reduce the living environment in the first year a lot, and do not need too fine care.

This undoubtedly met the needs of Xia Dongli, a novice in agriculture. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences heard that Xia Dongli was a noob and was planting in forest land, and he also wanted to collect this data. The two sides made peace immediately. I paid for the seeds and rhizobia, and the Academy of Agricultural Sciences sent a researcher to add his WeChat to provide planting guidance at any time.

By the way, goat bean and alfalfa are leguminous pastures with nodules, and their ability to fix nitrogen and nourish the soil is also excellent, but it is inferior to alfalfa in attracting rhizobia to symbiosis, so it needs to be sprinkled when planting strains, which also increases the cost of cultivation.

However, Xia Dongli is different from ordinary farmers. He is in the stage of seeing everything new, and of course he doesn't care about this investment.

The movement of the young man wielding the hoe is very standard. Before he went to the field, he searched the Internet for relevant information. The great Internet taught him the most labor-saving and effective plowing posture in the legend, but even so, after about [-] minutes, he So I had to stand in place with a hoe and my waist covered.

... my waist is so sore!

Xia Dongli rubbed his waist, he looked at the fruits of his labor and more flatly twitched the corner of his mouth: "This is too slow..."

Relying on the posture seen on the Internet, the progress was slow, so Xia Dongli decided to put down the textbook and play freely.He spread his legs apart, looked at the ground to calculate the size, and then swung the hoe high in the posture of throwing a shot put.

And before the hoe hit the ground, there was a sharp pain in his waist. The pain was so unexpected that he almost sat on the ground with his legs weak.

Xia Dongli hurriedly supported the ground with a hoe and managed to stand still. It took him a while to realize that he seemed to have twisted his waist.

"!! I'll go!" Comrade Xiao Xia finally couldn't hold back a swear word with a small tear in his eye socket.

= 3 =

The village doctor is a young man in his thirties. His surname is Xu. Dr. Xu looks slender, but he is very good at treating bruises. A good guy.

"What are you thinking about?" The village doctor pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a piercing cold light flashed on the lenses, "It hurts your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you don't take good care of it, and when it becomes a habit, it depends on you." That small body will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future."

...Why is this still a personal attack?Xia Dongli expressed his anger.What happened to his body?He is capable of writing scripts, capable of fighting vicious dogs, and has a thick wife book, so why can't he marry a wife!

Assistant Li, who sent someone over after receiving a distress call, saw Xia Dongli was about to speak, and then saw the doctor in his village who was waiting for you to speak and finish BATTLE. In order to protect the young mind of this contractor, don't Suffering a deeper blow, he hurriedly opened his mouth to change the subject: "Mr. Xia, you really need to be careful about your waist. I suggest you pay more attention recently. It doesn't matter if you can let things go."

"But it's going to be spring plowing soon." Xia Dongli's eyes flicked across the big-character poster outside the village clinic, on which was written in white letters on a red background, "People miss the ground for a while, and the land misses people for a year." He was a little entangled and said: " Spring plowing is not easy to procrastinate!"

Comrade Xiao Li was silent for a while, and said cautiously: "Well, do you know that we can rent agricultural machinery in our town?"

Xia Dongli wrote "I don't know" in his left eye, and "What is that?" in his right eye

Assistant Li silently took out his mobile phone, pushed the leasing company's information to Xia Dongli, and said euphemistically: "Now the country promotes mechanization, ahem... your hillside is indeed not easy to walk with tractors, but we also have many small machines that can be used. of……"

"If you like labor, you can also recruit a short-term worker, but it is more expensive than borrowing machinery." Assistant Li looked at Xia Dongli's face, and added: "Aren't you going to dig a pond? Ask them to accept it." Just don’t take the plowing job.”

The basic work of this kind of farmer can be done by anyone, so it is really unnecessary to do all the manual work by yourself and twist your waist.

Xia Dongli: "..."

This is very annoying!

Soon, Xia Dongli realized that there was something more irritating in this cruel world.

The waist that had been relieved by being pushed and pulled during the day began to ache again at night. Xia Dongli, who was already mentally prepared, obeyed Dr. Xu's doctor's order and obediently lay on the bed.

Just as he was rubbing his waist and brushing the information, he saw the gray-haired quail, which he had forgotten all day, fluttered its wings and jumped onto the bed. Then, it walked to Xia Dongli's line of sight with unidentified steps. But out of reach of his hands, he shook the feathers on his stomach and slowly sat on Xia Dongli's pillow under Xia Dongli's shocked gaze.

Xia Dongli:? ? ? ? ?Do you dare to go too far as a bird?

Mr. Quail turned his head to look at Xia Dongli, who couldn't move, and slowly adjusted his posture—it stretched its legs and lay down.

Damn, has this bird become a spirit?unacceptable!
