In my days as a farmer

Xia Dongli was also a little bit reluctant to send away the tearful old Xu who took every step and turned his head three times.

Although Lao Xu is already in the late stage of the stupid master syndrome, he is still very reliable when he is serious. During the short three days he stayed in Xiaojin Village, he helped Xia Dongli a lot.

Now, the filter tank and the rainwater collection platform have been installed and started to work. After the two people laid pebbles in the small pond and built a balcony for the turtles, the small pond officially began to store water.

But this time is the dry season in Xiaojin Village, and it hasn't rained these days.The water source of the small pond is mainly filtered domestic water. Although the two men have opened up the water, anyway... the small pond is still only a thin layer of water.

In order to save his respect, Lao Xu brought a few kitten fish from somewhere and put them in the pond, under the pretense that he was using them to test the water quality.Xia Dongli couldn't deny this.

But one thing to say, after seeing the amount of purified water, Xia Dongli had to admit that Bai Xiaoxiao's previous suggestion was completely correct.

If rainwater is not included in the pipeline system, even in summer when water consumption increases sharply, let alone the storage tank, the increased water in his small pond may not be able to beat the evaporation.

Luckily he also connected the sewage pipe from the animal house to the filter tank.

Yes, they also built animal housing outside the house during these three days.

The design drawing that Lao Xu produced is scientific and easy to manage, because the service target is pigs, and the excellent cleaning function without dead ends is the focus of the design.

All materials in this design drawing are washable and corrosion-resistant materials, which are convenient for disinfection and cleaning.The pigsty is divided into two layers. The lower layer is mainly the sewage collection layer, which has a certain inclination, and the liquid can flow naturally to the sewage collection pipe.

For deep cleaning, there is still a gap on the outside to insert the water pipe. Xia Dongli can flush the dirt to the drainage pipe at one time as long as he connects the water source. Their final destination is the filter tank, which perfectly utilizes Xia Dongli's family. cleaning equipment.

What really comes into contact with animals is a layer of raised foot pads. The foot pads have no slope and can be dry and clean without hurting the joints of your pet.

It's not too difficult a design, but it's more subtle.

With sufficient materials and accurate data, the construction team completed the splicing in only one day. On the contrary, the small nest is still idle because the floor mats purchased online have not yet arrived.

During the construction, Xia Dongli thought that this design could also be used by other small animals, so he asked the workers to make a similar cage on the other side of the house, but this cage was cut into several compartments and still installed. In addition to the rolling wheels for easy movement, this is a small nest for protozoa.

Xia Dongli planned to wait until the weather was warmer before moving the small animals at home.

— especially sheep.

Baa star people really have a deceptive appearance.

On the first day when he saw Xiaobaa, Old Xu couldn't help but picked it up and rubbed it several times, but after two days, he pointed at Xiaobaa and yelled, "Pigs are cleaner than you."

This is a fact.

Sheep are herbivores and their main food intake is fiber.In order to absorb and decompose these fibrous substances, a large number of microorganisms have accumulated in the intestines of herbivores, which leads to indescribable taste of the poop just passed by herbivores.

And their instinct is to eat as much as possible. In order to achieve this, the digestion ability of herbivores is also very outstanding, and they can even pull while eating.

Although Xiaobaa still mainly feeds on milk now, there are already signs of this.

Pigs, like humans, are omnivores. Their digestion starts from the stomach. Although part of the work is handed over to the intestines, compared with herbivores, the burden on the intestines will be much less, and the natural microorganisms are not so abundant. active.

Moreover, the pig itself is a relatively clean animal. Xia Dongli has observed that Xiaokang's living conditions are very stable. He basically maintains two toilets in the morning and one night, and excretes at fixed points.Although the smell of poop is not very good, but the poop shoveler was basically prepared for it at that time. Compared with the star who can give you a sudden attack in his arms, he will feel much better.

... If Xia Dongli hadn't stopped him, Xu Yibai, who had been effectively attacked, would have named Xiao Baa "shit".

cough cough.

So when Xiao Baa grows up, Xia Dongli will never keep it in the room.

In addition to the lamb, the chickens, ducklings and ducklings in Xia Dongli's house, who became more lively as the temperature rose, were no longer satisfied with staying in the original small basket.

The Xiaojiu that Xia Dongli bought at that time was picked at random, and they were of different varieties.Although they were all about the same when they were young, after more than half a month of raising them, the size of some fast-maturing chicks has increased significantly, and when other chicks were still bright yellow, their fluff had begun to be covered with white feathers , The body has also grown to the size of a palm.

Although as far as the current situation is concerned, they still think they are babies, but they also need to be separated from the chicks, otherwise ordinary chicks may be bullied.

Leaving aside this point, although chickens and ducks walking on their heels are indeed cute, but animals like chickens and ducks... also have rectal guts.

So you can imagine what kind of scene Xia Dongli's house was like during this time.

Rice now walks almost against the wall, and Xia Dongli is about to give up treatment, relying on the idea of ​​"please take them out when it gets warmer" to support him.

It’s not enough yet. The temperature difference between day and night in Xiaojin Village is too large. The maximum temperature during the day can reach 20 degrees, but it is still hovering around 4 or 5 degrees at night. People should prevent colds at this temperature, not to mention the cubs.

Although he has such troubles, when he sits on the bench in the small courtyard, watching the little baa chasing and fighting with the rice, and the chickens and ducklings chirping and shouting behind the rice's buttocks, he can't help it. Looking at the little chubby pigs rolling and scratching themselves on the land that has just grown weeds, I feel that the world is very beautiful.

Xia Dongli squinted, and couldn't hold back the desire to show off. He took out his mobile phone and took a panoramic video of the current appearance of the door of the hut, and then happily sent it to Moments.

Unexpectedly, his father, who was supposed to be struggling with the students' winter homework, would give him a thumbs up right away.

A bad premonition immediately came to Xia Dongli's mind, and before he had any reaction, the old father's wechat call came.

"Xiao Li——" the male voice on the other end of the phone spoke slowly, and Xia's father, who had a super-level Mandarin, pronounced his words very clearly. There was no chance that Xia Dongli could not hear clearly, "Why is there no bridge on the small pond?"

Xia Dongli immediately wanted to cover his face, so to speak, Dad Xia finally gave up on the suggestion of building a bridge, but instead he wanted to build a shelf on the small pond and plant wisteria flowers, so that he could enjoy the wisteria flowers hanging down on the water The beautiful scenery of "continuous flowers in the sky".

This is not a problem. Wisteria blooms in early spring and is also hardy. It is also widely planted in the Northeast, and Xiaojin Village is naturally within the scope of planting.

And when he checked the information before, he also said that the pond needs to be covered to a certain extent. If the pond is exposed to direct sunlight, the temperature of the pond will rise and it will easily explode algae.Wisteria is a deciduous plant, which can be shaded in summer, and the leaves fall off in winter, just to let the sun shine directly on the water to raise the water temperature.

So, Xia Dongli agreed immediately.

Although he has never held a hoe, Dad Xia, who has a wealth of knowledge, continued to guide: "Plant some aquatic and semi-aquatic plants by the pond to make the transition more natural, and there are some shelters so that small animals can relax more when drinking water. .”

As expected of father and son, both of them wanted to go together.

The two exchanged a tacit gaze, and Xia Dongli even said that he would install a probe at that time, and if he took pictures of any small animals, he would definitely share them with his father who had no chance to go out.

The old man nodded in satisfaction, and reminded his son to pay attention to his body and not to twist his waist like last time, "If you are too busy, hire someone to help, pay attention to safety, and put on surveillance."

Xia Dongli responded one by one, and asked a few words about his parents. After learning that everything was fine with his parents, he said with a smile: "I should have almost taken care of my place by this summer vacation, Dad, why don't you come over with Mom for the summer vacation?" ?”

The old man showed a wavering expression, and finally shook his head, "I'm going to participate in teaching support activities this summer, and your mother's work is inseparable from people all the year round. Wait until winter, we will go to your place for the Spring Festival this year, and you will do something when the time comes." Little stove, let's have a drink together..."

"That's fine, I'll build a small red clay stove." Xia Dongli frowned, "Dad, you are in charge of bringing Green Ant's new roasted wine."

The old man snorted, "Okay, you can drink it if I can do it."

"Dad, I thought about it carefully, Lao Baigan is also quite delicious! A cup of Baigan will make a difference, Dad!" Xia Dongli recognized it very quickly.

"It's late!" the old father hummed, "You should prepare the small stove for me."

Xia Dongli looked at the hung up phone and was silent for a few seconds, then silently opened his mother's private message, asking the queen mother at home to pay attention to his father's situation, and never let him interfere in the pure wine making industry.

Xia's father is a complete black finger in cooking, and what he touches will ruin anything. When he was a child, Xia's mother hurriedly handed over her son to her husband, but she didn't expect that she actually saw her son with food poisoning in the inpatient department twice.

In order to grow up smoothly, Comrade Xiao Xia was authorized by his mother to hold the spatula when the stove was not even high enough.

Although this father is very pitiful, Xia Dongli really doesn't want to bother the doctor on duty after the Chinese New Year, so he can only try to kill the bud first.

After he put his phone away, he looked at the positions of the small animals at home. Rice and Baa had stopped chasing each other. One was lying on the ground and the other was gnawing on the grass. The chickens, ducks, and quails were all scattered around Rice. , The little fat pig has also turned over on the ground.

The scene is very harmonious.

Although his dog is resting, a pair of piercing eyes and two small erect ears indicate that it is in a state of alert.Its eyes wandered back and forth on the small animals, as if there was an invisible circle in its eyes, and when it saw any one leaving the circle, Rice would run over to drive them back to their original position, which can be said to be very dedicated.

Xia Dongli was very relieved about the abilities of their dog.

He stood up and wanted to go back to his room to get his things. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xia Dongli saw his dog also stood up, and ran to his side and hugged him.At first, Xia Dongli thought it was acting coquettishly and pawed him twice, but later he realized that the dog was hitting him on the small stool.

...It seems that this guy has added him to the grazing circle.

Xia Dongli reached out and rubbed the serious dog's face, then turned it to point at the small animals: "Cub, all you can graze are there, you can't let me go."

"Woo~" Rice protested.

"Protesting is invalid." Xia Dongli put her hands on her hips, the majesty of the master must be protected.

"Tch..." Dami snorted to express his unwillingness to compromise, and then it stood on the small bench where Xia Dongli was sitting just now and ignored him.

So there is a real reason for a dog like Bianmu to be in the front row of dogs that are not recommended for keeping all the year round. It has its own set of ideas, and sometimes it is quite a headache.

Xia Dongli patted the head of the dog who was working hard, and stood up to perform the responsibility of the excrement shovel officer.

Small animals can enjoy their beautiful and leisurely afternoon life, and as the owner, there is still such a big house waiting for him to clean.

I always feel that it is different from the farming life I imagined...
