No rush

There are not only pests such as aphids in the vegetable garden, but also larger snails, noodle bugs, mole crickets, grubs, grasshoppers, etc.

However, these pests are easy to deal with and there is no need to use pesticides to kill them. On the contrary, the aphids are too small and need to be treated with plant ash.

Because these larger ones are usually eaten by birds in the evening or early morning when pest activity is slow.

What's more, there are so many birds near the farm that these pests cannot spread at all.

Therefore, no one needs to take care of these larger insects.

After watering the eggplants, it’s time to get busy plowing the sweet potatoes.

It's not very appropriate to talk about plowing rice at this time.

Now the sweet potato seedlings have grown up a long time ago, so it is better to say "turn over the sweet potato vines".

The purpose of plowing the sweet potato vine after rain is simply to prevent the sweet potato vine from coming into contact with the moist soil after rain and causing secondary roots to grow.

Once it takes root and grows.

These secondary roots will grow into small sweet potato whips, which are not only inedible, but also rob the main rhizome of nutrients, resulting in reduced yield.

It cannot be left alone.

Eggplants need to be watered after rain, sweet potatoes need to be pruned, green onions need to be ditched, and tomatoes need to be forked at the top.

By now, the cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes are all ready to be set up.

The thin bamboo sticks used for the scaffolding are made from local materials.

Select a bamboo of moderate thickness and length, cut it down, remove the side branches, sharpen the root, and insert it into the soil.

Use a thin stick for each seedling, two rows of four sticks crossed to form a bunch, tied with rope, each bunch is connected to the adjacent bunch, and a wooden stick is placed across the top...

So, rows of shelves were erected.

In this way, every work has to be done by bending the waist and back, and every work has to be done by hand.

In addition to hard work, you also need to have enough patience to slowly enjoy the fun and taste the taste of farming.

The family was busy until noon, when Little Sheep drove over in an aquaculture truck and delivered a truckload of fish fry, along with the money from the sale of the ornamental fish.

After releasing the fry into the pond, Chen Ling invited him to have a meal with him.

Ask about some things by the way.

Mainly I am more concerned about the road conditions nearby.

Because they will be going to the city in seven or eight days, it would be better to ask in advance so that they would be more confident.

"Uncle Fugui, the fish in this village are about to grow up. I have to transport fish to them soon. Don't delay the salted eggs. How about another trip this month?"

Little Sheep was worried that he would not have time to deliver salted eggs to the city because he was too busy.

"It's okay. There's no need to delay this. Just send the fish with peace of mind. It counts as the same after you finish it."

Chen Ling smiled, this guy was quite honest and reliable, and he didn't have any tricks up his sleeve, so he didn't want to rush him and treat him like a beast.

"But, isn't there the Dragon Boat Festival next month? This salted egg business will definitely be very good during the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Unexpectedly, the little sheep had its own considerations.

Chen Ling was stunned when he heard this, thinking that this guy was right, but there was no need to be too anxious.

"Let's see, the salted eggs won't be loaded into the truck next. You can just pull them in a basket. When transporting fish, you can just bring a basket with you. It will only make you come a few more times, and it will save you the trouble of running around again. What do you think?

"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Uncle Fugui."

Little Sheep felt silly for a while. He had made a lot of money from shipping fees recently. He was very grateful to Chen Ling, so he sincerely considered Chen Ling.

"By the way, Uncle Fugui, I brought you a cat, and it's still locked in the car."

Continuing to eat and drink, the boy suddenly slapped his forehead, stood up and ran out. After a while, he came back with an iron cage. There was a big orange cat in the cage, scanning everything on the farm warily.

"Is it a female cat?"

"Yes, I caught it from a fish shop. It was just in estrus. Didn't I hear people say that Uncle Fugui is looking for female cats everywhere in the spring, so I had them caught and brought back."

"Haha, that's great. It's rare that you still remember this about me."

Chen Ling smiled and knelt down to take a look. The orange cat did show signs of estrus. He was too lazy to touch the strange cat. He just carried the cage to the backyard and placed it with another male mountain civet.

They got together and were locked up together.

As for the previous pair, they had mated a long time ago, and after a few nights of squealing, they should be pregnant by now.

Cats, three dogs and four. Wait another month or so and you will have kittens.

After settling the cat and sending the little sheep away, Chen Ling planned to go to Laohewan for a walk in the afternoon to look for wild duck eggs. If there were none, he would take the dog into the mountains to look for them tomorrow and check on the wolf cubs.

"Mom, mom~"

Before I even went out, Rui Rui's loud little milky voice reached my ears.

Chen Ling took a look and saw that it was Gao Xiulan squatting beside the sand pile, pointing at the photo to teach him how to identify the person.

There was a straw mat spread on the sand, and Ruirui sat there with Heiwa in her arms, with various small toys in front of her.

He was holding a small leather hammer in his hand that made a "chirping" sound when he hit it. He was hitting Heiwa back and forth while tilting his head to look at the people in the photo.

When Gao Xiulan pointed to Wang Susu, he grinned, stretched out his little hand, and called mother with bright eyes.

When Gao Xiulan pointed out that Chen Ling's performance was much better than before, he could also make one or two unclear sounds in his mouth, but they were far less clear than when he called his mother.

Chen Ling was very anxious when he saw it, so he walked over and personally guided him to shout.

Referring to the photo and his own, Qiangzi patiently guided him: "Come on, Ruirui, follow me, wave, ah, dad, dad."

It's a pity that this brat was too playful. Not only did he not learn to speak well, he actually found Chen Ling's tone of voice very interesting and couldn't help but be amused.

The little thing raised his head and looked at Chen Ling, letting out a long and crisp laugh while shaking the little leather hammer that made a chirping sound, as if he was dancing, very happy.

There is no way, Chen Ling, his father, likes to play with him and tease him, and he is used to it. Once he teaches him seriously, he doesn't get used to it, and he still feels that he is playing tricks on him.

Just like now, that's it.

However, although the little thing is unattractive, the appearance of this pink and jade baby doll is not annoying at all.

Especially when he smiles, the pink gums and neat white teeth are exposed in his small mouth. Against the backdrop of his fair and tender little face, he is so lovable.

Chen Ling was even a little defeated by this brat. Not only could he not even think about complaining, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. There was really nothing he could do against him.

"Don't worry, he will always learn when he grows up. Didn't your father say that it's too late to call someone..." Gao Xiulan saw the helplessness on his face and said with relief.

"I know mother."

Chen Ling nodded and smiled: "Let's go, Ruirui, dad will take you out to find duck eggs."

He reached out to hug him, but Ruirui got tired of playing with the little leather hammer and stuffed it under Heiwa's belly. He leaned forward with his little body, holding his two fleshy little hands on the straw mat and rubbing his knees.

He swished forward and crawled forward very quickly.

He quickly crawled to the toy pile and went to look for toys again.

Come on, I won’t be restless for a moment and won’t take him with me.
Chapter completed!
