In my days as a farmer

"Hey, hey, okay, I will take care of it first, please pay attention to it!"

After pressing the end call button, Xia Dongli's full smile disappeared immediately. He ground his teeth and looked at the rice in front of him holding his feet facing the wall.The latter looked back at him with an innocent face, and when he met his gaze, he immediately let out sobs one after another.

The dog's father's heart is broken when he barks.

But Xia Dongli knows his dog's character too well, so pretending to be sorry for him is a first-class skill!And it's not a first-time offender.

The breeds that can become shepherd dogs are a bit obsessive-compulsive, and they especially like to gather moving things together. Humans used this feature to domesticate them and drive them to help herd sheep.

Although he is a city dog ​​through and through, this instinct is engraved in his blood, and Rice also has this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So when Xia Dongli first started socializing with dogs, he once encountered rice chasing other people's dogs over, with an expression on his face asking for praise for something he had done.

Xia Dongli also thought it was fun at first, but later this development intensified, to the point of chasing children.

That's okay, Xia Dongli gave the dog a good lesson, and the leash has never been let go since then.

He always thought that Mi Mi had given up this habit, but he didn't expect that he would go back to his old ways when he got here. It seems that this place must be enclosed to prevent Mi Mi from going out casually, otherwise it would be bad for other farmers to kidnap sheep when they saw Mi Mi.

But now, the dog must learn a lesson,

Xia Dongli hardened his heart and ignored it, but patted the hourglass that was rustling the sand, signaling that he was not allowed to come down until he had finished walking.

Between him and Gouzi, the "abducted" lamb was curled up on Rice's dog mat. Xia Dongli was afraid that it would be cold, so he turned on the heating pad built into the dog mat.The little lamb accepted this quite a bit, and nestled down shortly after being pulled over.

This sheep is only half an arm long, with snow-white lanugo, but with two black spots on its eyes, it looks like a national treasure!

It looks like the eyes are very big and a little silly.

Kind of cute!

Xia Dongli couldn't hold back, and stretched out his hand to rua.

So soft! !Soft and dense!It's a bit like the plush of rice when he was a child, but the feel is better.

"Meaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat~~" The little lamb turned his head to look at Xia Dongli, his black eyes were gentle and moist, he couldn't help but reached into the lamb's fur and smoothed it a few times, and then floated to the kitchen to prepare food with a satisfied face.

He had already called the police just now, but the police in the town didn't seem too surprised that he picked up a sheep. He just said that he hadn't received a call to the police about the lost sheep and asked him to raise it by himself first. If someone called the police, he would Contact him Yunyun.

When Xia Dongli expressed that he wanted to send the sheep to the police station, they refused very firmly, and only asked him to go to the town to make a report in two days.

To be honest, Xia Dongli is quite concerned about this matter.

If the sheep are raised with him, what if they die?What if the master is brought up to ask for it?What should I say if I misunderstood?It's okay if the master is easy to talk, but if he is not easy to talk, there will be a dispute.

This sheep looks like a sheep, but it is actually a sword of Damocles!

"No." The police officer who answered the phone laughed when he heard him say that, "Well, then we will sign a note for you, which means that the police station is in your care, and we will explain to them if there is any problem. "

Although the police officer said so, Xia Dongli later called to report to the village committee, and asked about the precautions for keeping it before agreeing to keep it.

The sheep has not yet been formally weaned. Although it can also eat forage grass, it is only a supplementary food, and it still needs to obtain energy from milk.

Fortunately, because the rice at home is very fond of drinking milk, and there is a reserve of goat milk powder at home, Xia Dongli first tried to soak some milk powder, poured it back and forth in two cups, and poured it into the rice bowl until the temperature was cooler. In front of the scowling lamb.

The smell of the goat's milk soaked is very fragrant, and even the rice that was punished stood back frequently.

The lamb has been attracted by Xia Dongli's cold milk, and it has been circling around the young man. However, when the pot of milk was put in front of it, it just sniffed it, didn't drink it, and continued to drink in Xia Dongli. Flying around.

Xia Dongli was also a little distressed when he saw the bleating sheep anxiously. He pushed the rice bowl again, and held the lamb in front of the rice bowl to press his head, but the little baa just stomped his hoof and insisted on raising his head.

After a while, Xia Dongli understood... This girl can't drink water with her head down, but milk with her head up.

...So where did their dog abduct such an ancestor!

"Woo woof!" The sand is gone, can wang come down?Ai Ai turned his head again and again to attract Xia Dongli's attention.

"Come down." Xia Dongli glanced at it helplessly, then rubbed the hairy head of the dog that was hopping over, poured the pot of milk back into the cup, and went back to search for it. A thing that can replace a feeding bottle, when he walked out with nothing, he found that the basin on the ground was actually clean.

As a family with a dog, Xia Dongli's dishes are almost all stainless steel, so is the pot that was temporarily taken out, and now the pot is the same as the one that has been washed, and he can see the reflection of the bottom of the pot .

The lamb was still bleating, and the rice was licking its mouth. It was clear at a glance who ate it.

Xia Dongli suddenly had an idea, and took out a rice bowl, added some water mixed with milk to it little by little, and then put it in front of the rice, and then he put the lamb directly opposite the rice so that he could clearly see the rice drinking water In the position, hold down its small head so that it can see what the rice is doing.

As soon as the rice bowl was put down, the rice immediately stuck out its tongue and drank the water, and it seemed that it didn't notice that the milk was seriously watered down.

It tasted so delicious that the lamb couldn't help but licked his mouth when he looked at it.

Xia Dongli quickly poured the milk and put it in front of it, and put an overturned rice bowl under the milk to increase the height. Now the height of the pot of milk is about the same as the lamb's chest, so it doesn't need to bow its head too much.

This time the lamb hesitated, imitating the rice's posture, crossed his legs and lowered his head to touch the milk with the tip of his nose, and then he breathed out.Just when Xia Dongli thought it was dissatisfied with the milk, the lamb stuck out the tip of its tongue, tsk tsk tsk, and began to lick the milk. After the first bite, the second and third immediately followed.

Xia Dongli didn't dare to feed too much, because he was afraid that the lamb would not be used to the milk powder and would have diarrhea, so when the lamb stopped screaming, he poured all the remaining milk into the rice bowl.

Rice readily accepted this surprise, and after drinking the milk, he ran to eat a few mouthfuls of dog food. He didn't have much opinion on the use of the mat for the newcomer, so he obediently lay down on Xia Dongli's sleeping bag before and prepared to take a nap .

Xia Dongli looked distressedly at the imported heatable dog mat that had been slept on by the sheep, and then looked at the lower body of the little lamb that had not moved yet. There was no other way but to spread a few pet diapers on the mat .

No way, the dog can lie down and sleep after making a mistake, but the owner has to wipe its butt, this world is so unfair.

Roughly cleaning up the somewhat messy scene, Xia Dongli glanced around with a dustpan, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

Now a quail and several young chickens and ducks are sleeping in his bedroom, a dog and a sheep are lying in the living room, two insect incubators are placed in the side hall, and two turtles and some aquatic animals have been ordered outside.

It is still quiet now, but he seems to be able to hear a lot of auras around him. Not long ago, there was only one person and one dog here, but now it is much more lively. This strange home is also because of their participation. There is some heat.

He exhaled and stretched, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Alright~ He has to continue unpacking the courier,

***

At the end of March, a sudden cold wave interrupted the farming work in Xiaojin Village.

Although it's called "Chunhan" in other places, but in Xiaojin Village...

"It hasn't warmed up anyway." The villagers who came to help said very calmly.

That's right, although the daytime temperature in Xiaojin Village has soared to 18 degrees a few days ago, the nighttime temperature has been struggling to stay below zero. The official planting here usually waits until around Qingming.

"But don't look at the cold on the ground. The temperature in our soil is higher instead, so the situation is different from that in other places. You have to follow the information of our WeChat group, don't follow the information from other places. If it doesn't work, you can add it to the seeds. A mulch, and it will be removed after it is propped up." The villagers continued to pass on their experience.

Xia Dongli was taught humbly. He respectfully poured hot water from the thermos and sent it over.

Now the small yard of Xia Dongli’s house is very lively. A man walks back and forth on his field with a red tiller the size of a calf. The color deepens visibly to the naked eye, which is an indication that the subsoil has been effectively dug out.

In addition to that machine, a smaller machine was also working on the land where Xia Dongli had decided to dig ponds and purification tanks.

Xia Dongli's eyes were a little straightened.

The shape of this machine is somewhat like a tricycle, but except for the front wheel which is a rubber wheel, all the other wheels are metal discs.

The two main supporting wheels on the right rear are edge-cutting wheels. They fix the round-shaped loose soil wheel on the left and the right. Although the size is about the same as a small baby carriage, it looks like the dirt is flying around. How exciting.

Although it is several circles smaller than Xiaohong, its ability to loosen the soil is obviously not bad. It just walks on the ground with ease, and the villagers behind will use shovels to dig out the soft soil layer and put it on the ground. To the side, the soil layer of the land went down more than ten centimeters in a short while.

Looks super easy to use!

Xia Dongli couldn't hold it back, and leaned over to ask the price of this machine, in exchange for which the farmer laughed: "You just need such a land, what do you buy it for, just go to the town to rent it if you need it in the future, this thing It’s easy to use, but it’s also very delicate, and it needs to be cleaned and oiled when not in use.”

He took two puffs of cigarette and said: "If you must buy it, don't buy this one. It's cheap but has few functions. Now the new model is a four-wheel drive alloy. The key is that it can change the knife group. But the new model consumes fuel. You can Wait until they come out with a gasoline-electric hybrid version."

... and four-wheel drive?Gasoline hybrid? ... so advanced!

Xia Dongli couldn't tell whether the uncle was serious or joking with him for a while, until he secretly poked and opened the official Taobao store.

... Not only there are oil-electric hybrids but also air-cooled and water-cooled ones, which are too advanced!

"Xiao Xia! Come over and have a look, is this enough depth? Or should I add more?"

Xia Dongli ran over in response, looked at the gesture and said: "The one on this side is enough, the one on the right should be deeper, and it should be a little higher than the knee."

"Okay, but young man, your pond is so shallow, what kind of fish are you going to raise?" the uncle asked curiously.

Xia Dongli pushed his glasses, and passed a cigarette in embarrassment: "I guess I can't raise any fish. Isn't there no sewage in my building, so I installed a purification tank. The water coming out feels a bit wasteful, so I piled it up. If you raise a turtle in a pond, it can also water vegetables."

"Oh, then you have to be careful." The old man took Xia Dongli's cigarettes and pinned them behind his ears, and reminded, "There is no water source for three or four kilometers near you, and you have built a pond here. It is estimated that some livestock should be attracted."

Xia Dongli's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said modestly: "This seems to be pretty good!"

The uncle turned his head to look at him in disbelief, with a clear expression on his face: "Little brother, your idea is quite unique."
