In my days as a farmer

At the end of August, the beginning of autumn has passed, and even though there are still autumn tigers fighting in the corner, they can't stop the cold from coming.

The warm and humid southeast monsoon lost to the cold and dry northwest wind, and turned away angrily. Before leaving, it brought a heavy rainstorm to Xiaojin Village.

With the help of the torrential rain, the drainage channel of the small pool, which had been interrupted for a long time, resumed its work, and the soil that was cracked due to exposure to the sun was re-sealed. , not satisfied after filling the small puddles facing drying up, it spread along the terrain like a silver ribbon.

After an autumn rain and a cold, the temperature difference between day and night in Xiaojin Village gradually widened. Xia Dongli had already started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find long sleeves. He promised that Academician Chen would start a live broadcast when the composter finished its work.

The first time you do a live broadcast, you have to have a sense of ritual. You can’t wear a T-shirt and pants like before. At least you have to wear a shirt and denim.

Then Xia Dongli discovered something that shocked him.

The clothes he wore last year actually felt tight, which is actually very euphemistic. The truth is that he can't fasten the buttons, especially the belly.

After working in farming for half a year, he, he, he, not only didn't lose weight, he actually gained weight!This is not scientific at all!

Although he couldn't believe it at all, when he stood on the weighing scale in the village clinic, he really found that he had gained more than ten catties.

More than ten catties, according to today's pork price, it is close to more than 500 yuan.

"It's okay to say, this is for dispensing medicine for livestock, and it will be corrected every once in a while. The last calibration was a month ago." Dr. Xu looked at him with his chin in his hands, reading the meaning accurately from his colorful expression , and very ruthlessly dismissed Xia Dongli's excuse.

Come to pick up Xun Ao from get off work and measure his weight by the way, Xia Dongli suddenly feels that he has nothing to love.

No, don't misunderstand that he is living without love in order to gain weight. The reason for his entanglement is that he feels that he doesn't eat any big fish or meat, and basically doesn't eat much high-calorie and high-fat food. How did he get fat?

Xun Yao's cooking is light, and they are all the vegetables on food shows, unless Xia Dongli is too greedy to overcome his laziness and rush to the kitchen. Most of the time, their home has less oil, less salt and no MSG. It was light salted soy sauce, and he gained weight with just this dish?

Xia Dongli was about to issue a soul interrogation - why did you grow such flesh!What made him even more upset was that when he dragged Xun Ao to the scale, he found that Xun Ao's weight had remained stable at the weight of the last physical examination, neither fat nor thin.

But the problem is that the last time he was weighed was in winter, and he was still wearing pressed clothes, so he actually lost weight.

Is there any reason?Xun Yao eats at least three times as much as him, why is he not fat?

"Fat has nothing to do with how much you eat, what you look at is the difference between intake and consumption." Doctor Xu once again ruthlessly exposed him: "It seems that Xiao Xia has been living a very comfortable life recently, haha."

Don't get me wrong, as a young man who started retirement life early, Dr. Xu's hehe didn't mean to be sarcastic, he was expressing his happiness at the moment seriously... probably.

Anyway, Xia Dongli thought so.

He recalled his day-to-day with his fingers, and found that, as Dr. Xu said, he had indeed lived too comfortably recently. No, this kind of small life can be described as corruption.

In the past, in order to ensure the amount of exercise needed for the healthy growth of Border Collie, he took the dog every day to go jogging before the park became lively.

Since the city he lives in has extremely high management requirements for dog owners, as long as the rope is not allowed to be loosened in public places in the urban area, this also means that Xia Dongli will run as much as the dog runs.

Although most of the time he is walking intermittently and resting in the middle, his weekly exercise is generally equivalent to a half marathon.

And after arriving here, since Dami can run freely without a tether, Xia Dongli hasn't run with him for a long time, except for being worried about accompanying him for a while at the beginning.

Coupled with the fact that most of the work of taking care of the family is now taken care of by Xiaoyu, Xia Dongli can sleep until he wakes up naturally in the morning or is awakened by the smell of breakfast.

After doing some farm work in the morning, I go home for dinner. After dinner, I lay out mats in the yard with the dogs and take a nap while enjoying the shade. If I fall asleep, I will be woken up by Xun Yao before going out.

The whole afternoon is spent checking for leaks and making up for gaps in farm work, or cleaning and disinfecting the cages while the small animals are free-ranging outside, or taking care of the small garden, and occasionally going to the field to weed the pasture, and then you can wait until the small crops We had dinner together after get off work.

After eating, the two of them will watch TV together for a while, and then Xun Ao will learn from him to read materials, and turn off the lights at 10 o'clock every day...

what happened?What happened to his life rhythm like a retired old man?He clearly remembered that he was still busy before, why did he suddenly feel free?Is this the power of Xia Futian?

This kind of mysterious power that unknowingly consumes people's fighting spirit is really terrifying!No, he needs to cheer up a bit, he must shrink his lazy belly back.

Although Xun Yu touched his belly at night and said that he was not fat with a distressed and puzzled face, Xia Dongli felt that he must not degenerate, and he had to set an example for the dogs at home.

However, Xia Dongli, who made up his mind, soon discovered that it had nothing to do with the weather. On the one hand, he did not have much farm work in summer, and on the other hand, Xun Yao was too capable.

Even a small accident was resolved by him in advance, and Xia Dongli didn't need to do anything at all.

By the time he realized this, he was so bored that he turned out his guqin to practice playing cotton. Burning incense, playing the piano and playing the dog in his small yard could not be more carefree. redness.

However, the leisurely life did not last long. When he finally regained his playing skills and played the piano well, the APP of their composting machine finally gave Xia Dongli a reminder that the organic fertilizer in the machine They are all ready to be removed.

Xia Dongli immediately relayed the news to Academician Chen, and after finalizing the time, he used the B station account to send a live broadcast preview, and started their first live broadcast at the end of the summer vacation.

Before the start of the broadcast, Chen Li also sent a poll asking everyone to choose a better time to start the broadcast. Nearly [-]% of the netizens chose noon, obviously planning to watch the live broadcast while eating.

"Will they really be able to eat after watching the live broadcast? After all, it's compost..." Xia Dongli held up the gimbal of his mobile phone and looked at Chen Li suspiciously. Chen Li made a gesture of no problem at him, " You have to believe in the endurance of the majority of netizens. The most free time of the day for young people nowadays is lunch time. For a long time, when you watch novel videos during lunch, you can always meet writers and screenwriters. A firm will to eat lunch, too, is not worthy of entertainment at mealtimes!"

"..." The corner of Xia Dongli's mouth twitched, inexplicably feeling pain in his knees and conscience.

No, this is an illusion, what does it have to do with him, he is just an ordinary little UP master now.

Xia Dongli quickly sorted out his mood, reviewed the entire process of today in his mind, and clicked on the live broadcast button after Chen Li said that he was ready to OK.

Because the time for the broadcast was agreed, when Xia Dongli started the live broadcast, there were already many online viewers squatting in the live broadcast room. When the screen lit up, the bullet screen quickly appeared.

"Hi everyone, I'm Xiaoxia, and we're starting the live broadcast." He scanned the camera around Chen Li and Xun Ao, introduced them to everyone, and then smiled at the screen: "We will share the live broadcast with the trailer today." Same, it’s an unboxing live broadcast, but the box we opened is quite special.”

He held down the adjustment button of the phone's gimbal, and turned the phone's lens to a rear-view lens, "The box we want to open is this."

What appeared on the screens of the majority of netizens was a silver cylindrical building standing on a hillside.

It is set against the background of blue sky, white clouds and green mountains. Although the distance is not close, the main camera of Xia Dongli's mobile phone is quite high. They can see that the cylinder seems to have golden patterns and the golden light reflected from the top of the cylinder. .

[I've seen this before, sometimes the camera will capture it, it seems to be a Buddhist pagoda]

[I've seen it too, but it shouldn't be a pagoda. The pagodas are generally octagonal and hexagonal, and that one is a cylinder.]

[In the front, the Buddhist pagoda also has round pagodas. Chinese Buddhism is influenced by local architecture, so it is boxy, but Tibetan Buddhism and many foreign ones are the same]

[Round Pagoda, you can search for the Boudhanath Stupa in Nepal. This is the largest round stupa in the world, but the shape is not quite similar, but the golden top fits it well. 】

[I didn't see the box, Xiaoxia, don't be a fool! 】

Xia Dongli switched the camera back, and while sitting on the small three-wheeler, he said seriously to the screen: "The reason why we shot from a long distance is actually to explain a misunderstanding to everyone."

"I heard that many people told us to follow the direction of the pagoda when they came to us. Let me explain solemnly that this is not a pagoda, but our composter."

The bullet screen was filled with question marks, and Xia Dongli repeated it again: "You sometimes leave a message about how to deal with animal excrement, and we reply that the composting machine is our composting machine, because The quantity we need is relatively large, and it is easy to cause problems if we stack it ourselves, so we directly purchased the machine control."

He glanced at the bullet screen, and the words on the screen of the mobile phone were a little unclear at noon, so Xia Dongli had to cover it with his mobile phone, "Golden roof? No, it's not gold, it's made of copper, for lightning protection .”

Xia Dongli was so serious that he used the excuse he had worked so hard to think up, "Although it looks like a shape from the bottom, it is actually a matter of angle. There is a lightning rod on the top, and the gaudy shape on the side is actually for anticipation." Discharge, I don’t know the details, anyway, it’s what the merchant said.”

He also blamed the merchants, with a straight face that he said that it was not because of his special aesthetics!

A barrage of ellipsis was swiped across the bullet screen. Obviously, everyone has a lot of troubles in their hearts, but they won't be able to spit it out for a while.

Xia Dongli pretended not to see some questioning barrages in the reflection of his mobile phone. He turned the camera to the rear and showed his family a small soil slope: "This is the sheep pen, and today the flock eats concentrated feed days, so they didn't go up the mountain."

"Well, yes, concentrated feed refers to grains. These are easier to digest and have good palatability. They are reward feeds. We usually feed them once a week. If it's raining and it's not easy to go up the mountain, we will feed them occasionally."

Just as he was speaking, a white figure suddenly jumped out of the black and white flock and rushed towards Xiaosanlun. Sudden events frightened.

[Fuck, UP Lord, look outside the camera, a sheep has come out! 】

[Look at the back, look at the back! 】

[Oh my god, it ran so fast, it jumped out of the sheepfold! 】

Xia Dongli also saw the commotion behind him. He said "huh?" and looked away from the screen. Unlike the netizens who were separated from the camera, Xia Dongli saw the sheep jumping from the flock at a glance. Who came out, he laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, that's not a sheep."

【? ? ? ? ? 】

Before the netizens could react, they saw the group of small black and white animals approaching, and finally some netizens recognized it

[Yeah! ! 】

[Rice, is it rice?Mother Mi will never mistake my son! 】

【It's actually lurking among the flock of sheep, oh my god, its coat color doesn't seem to violate it at a glance. 】

[UP lives, stop quickly, it is going to jump out of the car, la la la Amway]

Just like what this netizen who was too nervous and made a typo said, Dami has accurately captured Xia Dongli's position, and it seems to have completely ignored the small three-wheeled driving, standing side by side with the small three-wheeled After running for a short distance, he spotted the spot and jumped, and he jumped onto the small three rounds steadily.

"Woof~~" Dami stuck out his tongue and rubbed against Xia Dongli's face happily. It squeezed his head over, and without hesitation squeezed away the gimbal of the mobile phone Xia Dongli was holding, using his entire face He took Xia Dongli's gaze away.

Xia Dongli hurriedly handed the phone to Chen Li, freeing up his hands to comfort their panting dog.

Chen Li glanced at the bullet screen, and was amused by the sour words from the netizens above, "Yes, it's rice. It was looking at the sheep just now, and it may have heard Xiaoxia's voice."

Seeing that someone on the bullet screen expressed dissatisfaction with their behavior just now, he also explained: "The speed of the tricycle is not fast, and this speed is not a problem for Rice. Point, if we brake, it will miscalculate and fall in front of the car, and if we don't brake, it will crash into it."

"We haven't trained it. It learned it suddenly one day. We were scared to death at the time. After several experiments, we knew that we must keep a constant speed at this time. As long as we don't make mistakes, the rice will not be wrong. .”

"Can dogs count?" Chen Li joked while pointing the camera at the affectionate pair of main pets: "I don't know about this question, maybe other dogs can't, but Rice is a border herd."

Netizens who ate melons were so able to pick up the meme immediately that they posted a piece [Bian Mu is Bian Mu, a dog is a dog]

【You can never know what skills Bianmu will have】

[Other people's dogs will count as falling points, but my dog ​​will only count if I have eaten less snacks today, I'm jealous]

[The one in front, at least your dog is just a snack, but mine is a way to steal shi, you cherish it]

[As the saying goes, dogs can’t get rid of eating shit, I just want to know if rice has this bad habit]

Xia Dongli rubbed his pet dog's cheeks, just in time to see the last barrage and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. After reading that barrage, he said with a smile: "Although rice will be eaten secretly..."

He pressed his pet dog, which was whining and protesting, and continued: "But it is not interested in eating poop. If it is hungry, it will hunt by itself. In fact, as long as the trace elements are in place, it is strange that dogs will not eat. anything, except curiosity."

"Ah, by the way, rice has a special sense of ritual when it poops, and it also buries poop! Yes, it is like a cat, it will carefully bury its own poop. Xiaotian? I didn't see it The way it looks when it poops, it usually takes care of it outside, so it’s rather shy.”

Xia Dongli tilted his head and recalled it, and suddenly realized that he had never seen Xiaotiangou solve his personal problems, and he was a little embarrassed. Seeing that someone started whistling in the barrage, he hurriedly changed the subject and turned the camera around One direction: "That's the latest European cherry tree we planted. Now the seedlings are finished, and the one planted is Chaotian pepper. Now there are flower buds, and it is estimated that it will start to bear fruit in another month."

"Eat? No, I'm not very good at spicy food. These peppers are mainly used for insect repellent." Seeing question marks on the bullet screen, Xia Dongli rubbed the dog's head with a smile: "The pepper water tastes very stimulating, so it repels insects." The effect is very good, and most insects can't stand it. If it is used with persimmon lacquer vinegar, the effect is outstanding, and it is harmless and non-irritating. It is a bit expensive to buy, and I just planted some when there is a gap in the cherry tree."

"No, it's not that particular. It's not that I refuse to use pesticides. It's just that there are a lot of small animals here and they are basically free-range, so I want to avoid pesticides as much as possible."

[May the UP master share the recipe?The flowers on my balcony are especially good at attracting insects, if they match well, I want to try it too]

【+1, please share the recipe】

"I also read it online, and I'll tell you the recipe when I test it and it works well." Xia Dongli smiled and responded, and then suddenly turned the camera in a different direction: "Look, there's a weasel over there."

Just in the camera, a weasel is sneaking and crouching in the grass, blinking its two round peas eyes, looking salivatingly at several free-range chickens hundreds of meters away from it.

And just behind the roosters and hens, there were rows of crows scattered on the chicken coop. The moment the weasel poked its head, the condescending crows immediately turned their eyes to look at it.

The weasel seemed to hesitate for a moment, and at the moment of hesitation, a crow looked up to the sky and yelled: "Ga———"

At the moment it made a sound, a yellow-and-white mixed-haired dog ran out from the shadow of the chicken coop. It stood guard in front of the rooster and the hen, and its eyes quickly locked on the weasel lurking in the grass.

Seeing that it was noticed, the weasel immediately looked back, turned its head as if nothing had happened, and walked away in a despondent manner.

"Actually, weasels generally don't steal chickens," Xia Dongli glanced at the barrage, and netizens were all "is weasel so cute?"

[The fur tail looks so soft, I want to lick it]

[Rice grains are also very imposing now! 】

[Is the rice grain playing with the crow? ], he blinked and ignored the last one and explained: "They prefer to eat voles, but now we have two brooding owls in our house, so the food for weasels is a little short, and these weasels have been a little bit eager to move recently. So I sent rice grains over."

[Can rice grains beat a weasel?Didn’t the weasel mean super fierce]

[Speaking of which, the weasel is a protected animal.Can I fight? 】

"They won't really conflict. Weasels are very smart. When they see rice grains here, they will retreat and wait for the night. As for the night..."

Xia Dongli showed a mysterious smile: "All the chickens are locked in at night. Don't worry about the duck's nest, there are two geese raised there, and weasels dare not mess with them."

【Emma, ​​what if there is really no food?The weasel is also quite pitiful]

"In fact, if there is no food, it is not completely without food. After all, owls don't hunt during the day." Chen Li said from the side: "It's just that these food can't feed a family. After realizing this, weasels will choose to divide into groups or move the whole family. Behind us is the mountain. There is still a lot of food when you walk inside.”

While talking, Xun Ao slowly stopped Xiaosanlun. He turned his head and looked at Xia Dongli who was holding rice and watching the barrage, and reminded softly: "Adong, we are here."

The barrage immediately became lively

[It appeared, it appeared, only Xiao Xun could call it by a title! 】

[Man's friendship! 】

[Calm down, live broadcast, it's now! 】

Xia Dongli coughed dryly, got out of the car holding the gimbal, and pointed at the compost machine at home, "Okay everyone, we are going to open the box!"

As soon as the group of demon dancing netizens looked up, they faced the front of the composter and fell silent.

Suddenly someone brushed a sentence [The carved railings and jade should still be there...]

[Up Lord, you call this a composter! ? ? ? ? 】
