In my days as a farmer

When the calendar turns a new page, Xiaojin Village seems to have entered summer overnight.

The afternoon sun became hotter, scalding the ground, and the temperature difference between day and night further increased, awakening the bugs sleeping in the soil.

What woke Xia Dongli up in the morning was no longer the chirping of birds, but the sparse chirping of cicadas.The cicadas in June had just been unearthed, and it took less than ten days for the cicadas in Baiyun Mountain to go from a few scattered calls to a whole area of ​​mountains and seas.

Cicadas chirping and birds chirping, a city dweller will think it is a very romantic thing when he hears this word at first, but he will know how terrible it is after experiencing it personally, especially when it becomes the wake-up ringtone, it is really hateful.

It may be because there is a three-headed hell dog at home. Now I can't see a bird's feather in the small yard of Xia Dongli's house. I can only hear the occasional bird song from the mountains from a distance. It is pleasant to listen to from time to time.

But the chirping of cicadas is different. Once a cicada starts chirping, the others will follow immediately, forming a continuous piece like a raging ocean wave.

Xia Dongli was woken up several times, and felt a little irritated by being called during the day, but people have a strong learning ability, and he quickly got the correct rhythm of life from the behavior of the local people.

Life in the countryside is flat and regular. People in Xiaojin Village usually hurry up to harvest vegetables and fruits and trim the fields before the sun is in working order. Sericulture farmers have to pick mulberry leaves, and then deliver goods. Goods, those who feed the silkworms feed the silkworms, and when the sun starts to show its power, everyone will go home for breakfast.

The time period between breakfast and lunch is half social time. Women prepare lunch, while men mend farm tools, or chat and play cards with acquaintances. After lunch, it will be almost 1 pm, and the stroll will disappear. After eating, you can spread out the mat, pick up the cattail fan, and lie down in a place where the sun is out of the way and there is a little breeze.

That's right, the key word is nap!

The sun is too hot at noon, and it is hot and tiring to go out to work at this time, and it is easy to suffer from heat stroke. During the slack time, the gain outweighs the gain.If you take a nap at noon, you can use this blank time to effectively replenish your physical strength, and it is beneficial to the self-repair of the heart, which has many benefits.

If you are afraid of catching a cold, you can also put a small blanket on your stomach.At this time, the temperature is the highest, and the chirping of cicadas becomes sparse, and the sound waves become white noise, which has an excellent hypnotic effect.

The small brick house faces south. Except for the small shaded pond, the whole courtyard will be exposed to the scorching sun at noon. It is too torturous to do things outside at this time. Xia Dongli can't bear it after a few times in the sun Now, let's look at Xun Yao, who doesn't care... well.

Although Xiao Yan showed a completely indifferent look, Xia Dongli still developed the habit of pulling people to sleep together for a while after eating. Even if he was not sleepy, taking a nap was very comfortable.

However, when he woke up from several naps, he found that Xun Yao hadn't slept well.In order to supervise Xun Xiaoya who loves work too much, Xia Dongli directly made two floor bunks in the living room, and took a nap with others as soon as the mat was rolled after eating every day, and occasionally Rice would wander over to him to sleep with him .

But rice is afraid of the heat, so it is said to sleep with it. It usually sleeps in a row on the tiles next to the mat.The whole family snored and slept until three o'clock before getting up to start their afternoon life. The small life is not to mention how comfortable it is.

But compared to these, the biggest change is the small yard!

The little tadpoles of Xia Dongli's family finally grew legs in his expectant eyes!Xia Dongli was overjoyed when he discovered this.Now that he has started to grow legs, is it still far from turning into a little frog and working for him?

There is good news in the big pond, and the small pond is not far behind. Several lotus leaves have sprung up in the homes of the two turtles, Ada and Aer. They are the lotus roots he hastily planted some time ago.

This made Xia Dongli slightly relieved.

It was not a good time for him to buy lotus to plant lotus root. In order to survive the winter and re-flower in the next year, the lotus will choose to wither all the water surface to transfer all the energy to the lotus root, and then in the spring. It will sprout quickly after feeling the water temperature rise.

And in May when he bought the lotus, the lotus ponds in the southern region were already full of beauty.

The lotus root is not a kind of good preservation. In the traditional transportation process, it is wrapped in mud and loaded on the truck, not to mention the sprouted lotus root. The bump can make the buds fall off from the lotus root.

Therefore, almost no merchants will sell lotus seeds in May. The mainstream at this time is to sell lotus seeds. Merchants need to clear a wave of inventory to prepare for harvesting the freshest lotus seeds. Players can enjoy a wave of flowers if they are lucky to buy now. It's a win-win situation.

Xia Dongli searched for a long time before he found a merchant in Suqian that was still selling lotus roots.But the other party also made it clear, because the lotus leaves have already grown, and they may bud at any time. Once the buds are out, the express delivery will definitely hurt the lotus, which may affect the flowering situation this year. Even if it blooms, it may not bloom. That kind of thing, so you can't complain about it because the goods are not right.

The customer service guy was warm and polite, and his frank attitude won Xia Dongli's favor.The key is that the color of the lotus in the schematic diagram of this variety is really beautiful, and the dark blue with layers of shades and transitions pokes the heart of Xia Dongli, a literary youth at first sight.After confirming that the lotus will not be affected as long as it lives and is properly maintained in the next year, he placed an order.

When receiving the goods, Xia Dongli saw that Miaoqing was exactly as the seller said.The leaves of the lotus have all grown out, and there is also a small flower bud, but the worst thing is that despite the seller's layer upon layer of protection, the lotus root is still broken into two sections.Xia Dongli paste a layer of carbendazim on the fracture according to the instructions, and then planted it in a flowerpot filled with pond mud. After that, he would walk around the small pond every day to observe the condition of the flowerpot inside.

It may be because of the long roots before, there has been no movement in the flower pot, but the weather is warm and hot, as if being silently urged, the lotus leaves in the small pond are rising up.The lotus leaves out of the water have now become a small shade area. Xia Dongli saw small animals enjoying the shade under the lotus leaves when the sun was particularly strong.

Although the only little flower bud was still motionless in the water, Xia Dongli was very happy that the seedling survived. It was best to have flowers, and he didn't particularly care about regrets without flowers—the reason why he was so free and easy was because Xia Dongli There is no shortage of flowers in the fence now.

Endless Summer under the wisteria tree has already bloomed in red, and what he bought are biennial flower seedlings.Endless Summer is also famous for its huge flowering volume, but a small piece of flowers bloomed in the first bloom.

Hydrangea is a very magical plant. Their flower color is determined by the acidity and alkalinity of the soil. It turns blue when it encounters acid and turns red when it encounters alkali. The higher the concentration, the more positive the color.

Because of this characteristic, hydrangea players will start to add various chemical reagents to the soil every spring for toning. The current mainstream is to adjust the blue, but when Xia Dongli bought the seedlings, they had already seen buds, so he did not toning. Let it develop, and the result of the development will be a fiery red.

"Hmm... I thought it was blue." Xia Dongli and Xun Ao complained, "Aren't we volcanic soil?"

When the intermediary introduced it to him before, it said that the bottom of Xiaojin Village is full of volcanic soil. The soil is loose and soft, rich in trace elements, but the problem is that the volcanic soil should be acidic.

The fact that Xiao Ziyang is so focused on developing red without any blue is obviously directly exposing the nature of the local soil.

"But actually think about it carefully, how many years ago the volcanic eruption happened, and the volcanic ash here should have been used up." Xia Dongli comforted himself.

Xun Yao looked at him when he heard the words, and there seemed to be a faint light in his eyes: "A Dong wants volcanic soil?"

If Adong wanted it, he could bring some over. There was a lot of volcanic ash where he woke up.

"It doesn't matter!" Xia Dongli didn't know what he refused at all. He stretched and pointed to the goat bean field behind him, "The volcanic ash is mainly loose and has a lot of humus. The effect of using organic fertilizer is the same. , It’s just a bit slow. And if we want to buy volcanic soil in these places, it’s not a small price, and it’s very troublesome to add it in, so let’s forget it.”

Xun Yao responded, watching Xia Dongli walk into the goat bean field with his hands behind his back and a bamboo hat on.Xia Dongli originally walked slowly and leisurely, but suddenly he saw something and suddenly became excited, and trotted forward, and after a while, Xun Yao heard his voice beckoning him to go over.

"What's the matter?" Xun Yao just arrived when he saw Xia Dongli squatting on the ground, holding the phone in one hand, and pointing in the direction of the other to signal Xun Yao to look quickly.

Xun Yao looked intently, his usual calm face suddenly became a little more surprised.

When they didn't notice, the goat beans of Xia Dongli's family quietly sprouted flower buds. If you look carefully, most of the goat beans have actually formed flower buds. Obviously, they will all be in the next few days. Blooming one after another.

The flowers of goat bean belong to racemes, and the flowers look like wisteria and bloom in strings from bottom to top.Because of this flowering posture, Xia Dongli and the others didn't notice it at first.

But it doesn't matter if the careless owner didn't notice, other small animals found it!

In the center of Xia Dongli's mobile phone lens, there is a small bee crawling around in several calyxes, with a yellow pollen on each of its two hind feet. Obviously different from lazy humans, they have already worked for a while. I will.

"Fortunately, it's a bumblebee." Xia Dongli compared the photos of the bees and said to Xun Yu, "The bumblebee is more docile, and it won't hurt people if you don't attack it. But I asked the little one last time. Assistant Li, he said that none of us keep bees, this should be a local wild bee."

"Then do you want to find a beehive?" Xun Yao looked at him.

Xia Dongli's expression suddenly became tangled. He hesitated for a while, and a fierce struggle appeared on his face. After a long while, he covered his face and said: "Forget it, we found it, Xiaokang and the others I will definitely follow along to find the past, the family is staying well, don’t be ransacked by Xiaokang again, we have to ask them to help pollinate our piece of goat beans.”

Although I don't know how Xiaokang got the honey before, but I also know that the method must be very rough.Now this season is the time for the little bees to work hard. As a two-legged beast, it is better not to add work pressure to them.

When Xia Dongli got home, he made a cup of honey water and sprinkled ice cubes, and drank Ton Ton in one gulp, then forgot about it.

But it turns out that if you don't look for some things, it will come to you.

A week later, when the goat beans in Xia Dongli's house were blooming one after another, he was awakened early in the morning by the barking of two dogs at home. The sound came from a strange direction, which was the rooftop.

What happened to the roof?Have birds come to steal tribute again?Xia Dongli rubbed his eyes and walked to where the dogs were, then was stunned.

The kennel he put on the roof... Ah no, it was a swarm of black bees crawling densely on the shrine. From a distance, it looked like a black cloth covering it. Xia Dongli didn't recognize it at first glance. Come out until you find that they will change formation according to the movements of the two dogs.

Even though Xia Dongli didn't have intensive phobia, it was difficult for him to remain calm when he saw this scene. Rice and the three-headed dog were even more frightened by the scene.

Xia Dongli took a breath, held it back, couldn't hold it back, and shouted with some breakdown: "Xiao Yu——"

The author has something to say: Bee: Hello, we have divided into groups and want to move, can we live in?

Little Tao Beast: ...

Bee: Okay, thank you, I'll call everyone over here!

Little Tao Beast: ...? ? ? ?

Bee: Dear friends, I found a good place to move, let's come together!

Frozen pear:? ? ?No, you wait! ! !
