Chapter 451 Smoked House(1/2)
Chapter 451 Smoke the house
I stayed in the city for eight days and spent one day traveling.
During this time, there have been quite a few changes at home. The roads in the county have been repaired, but they are not yet open to traffic.
Over at Zhao Yubao, the river has also been dug, surrounding the village and flowing into the large weir pond. It is very beautiful.
We just haven't built a bridge in front of their door yet.
Next, the villagers want to plant corn, but they don’t have time to do it.
We still have to wait until this period of busy work is over.
This year, when planting corn, many people came to Chen Ling's house to exchange seeds.
Even if you want to exchange grain seeds in the countryside, you won’t spend money to buy them.
It’s not easy to collect money from fellow villagers.
"Uncle Fugui, if you are free tonight, we will ask you to catch the monkey..."
The quail droppings are cleaned up every day and piled near the vegetable garden. There is also a big pile.
"Oh, you don't understand. A kennel of gold and silver is not as good as a kennel at home. Although the city is pretty good, for me, it's still a bit oppressive and I can't let go. Why go home now? I'll be sweating from the work.
, drink some wine in the evening and have a good sleep, I will feel very at ease.”
"Ang, it's useless. There are so many bugs in this grass, how can the powder be of any use? My powder is half-repellent and half-killing. After killing the insects, it has no medicinal effect. It won't last for a few days. I still have to use your spices.
, once it is lit, scorpions and centipedes will not dare to enter the house, let alone woodlice."
This is not possible in the mountains. After snowfall in the twelfth lunar month, it is easy for the mountains to be blocked by heavy snow.
It's very cool in the mountains in the morning. Basically every household in the village goes to the fields at five o'clock in the morning and works until nine o'clock in the morning. They work for two hours in the evening, so the working time is not shorter than at other times.
But it is really easy to use, the smell is quite fragrant and not pungent. After fumigating the house, it won't attract bugs at all.
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Zhi Zhi had been barking for a while.
"I know."
Wang Susu thought for a while, "That's right. There are mosquitoes upstairs in the city. We won't see mosquitoes on our farm this summer. The small mosquito net I prepared for Ruirui will be in vain."
Wang Susu served him a bowl of porridge and said with a smile: "Why don't you feel comfortable? I have been busy for two days since I came back, and I didn't see you being lazy or resting. You were sweating in the fields and working hard."
"Good guy, who did I fall into the river at that time? Ling Zi, you are such an adult, why are you jumping around?"
Seeing how anxious he was, Zhao Yubao quickly stopped him.
Wang Laishun's two sons and daughter-in-law followed closely from the west and also greeted Chen Ling with a smile.
Wang Susu didn't have as many cooking tricks as him. She just cooked porridge and spread out a few egg pancakes. The pickles were all ready-made and she ate them with salted duck eggs.
Especially this year, there is a small river in front of this grassy slope.
Chen Ling stretched and yawned: "It's still comfortable at home."
So if you want to catch cicada monkeys, you still have to look for them outside.
"...Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's incredible. Your son has been so capable in the past two years. You can pick up the 20 acres of land faster than you can sow it. I haven't finished working on the ten acres of land yet."
Leah."
Chen Ling certainly couldn't say that he had planted those powerful mosquito repellent grasses, but it was true that due to the influence of birds and frogs, there were far fewer mosquitoes than in previous years even if they were not close to the farm.
"Go to Nanshan, don't go to Beishan and Xishan."
"Well, I want to grow vegetables. I heard from Bo Ming that there were a lot of mushrooms grown last year, but they couldn't be sold in many places. Vegetables are better. Winter vegetables are easy to sell even in our small county."
It is understandable that the village no longer raises ornamental fish, but instead raises aquatic products and crayfish. It is still a bit troublesome to raise ornamental fish.
Regardless of whether they are adults or children, they all hold a large or small shovel in their hands. They use their feet to push the shovel into the ridges of the fields and shovel out a small pit. They push the shovel with their hands and a gap appears in the pit.
, sprinkled three or five corn seeds, then took out the shovel and stepped forward.
"No, what can you say when you are only one year old? Compared with Ruirui, he is as stupid as his grandma."
"ah!"
And in spring and summer, the vegetation is lush and green. Walking here in the hot summer will immediately give people a feeling of freshness and coolness.
In fact, after he came back from the city, he was in a happy mood and had nowhere to use his energy. Even if the sun was shining brightly, he was not afraid and kept working hard, fast and hard.
After all, we hope to have a high yield by planting other people’s seeds.
…
This hillside stretches for a long time, from the east of the village to the west of the village, but this section in the village is already very gentle.
As for others, they only go to the ground in the morning and evening when it is cool.
Chen Ling waved his hand and said it was not worth mentioning.
Liu Nier screamed from a distance.
Although his own orchard is good, it was a wasteland three years ago with no woods and no conditions for growth and reproduction. Therefore, even if Chen Ling used spiritual water to moisten it in the past two years, it was still diluted spiritual water, which attracted many intellectuals.
However, it was impossible to hatch a cicada monkey in a short time.
He nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, you guys have dinner early tonight. When you're done eating, we'll meet up at the wheat field."
Wang Lixian, who often visited Chen Ling's house, naturally knew about it.
This can repel insects, but the effect is not that obvious and the duration is short.
All became a meal for birds and frogs.
The more experienced the farmer is, the quicker he is.
"Uncle Lai Yun, are you busy?"
Wang Lixian walked out of the field wiping his sweat, and they walked toward the village together, talking.
"Hey, this guy just leaves as soon as he comes. It's like I'm here to order him around."
Chen Ling smiled: "Brother Xian, it seems that you still want to grow vegetables in the greenhouse this year."
"Hey, Fugui has finished ordering the corn, and now has time to wander around."
"Hey, I was just messing around, just to make it quick, otherwise if it rains heavily later, it will delay the good time."
Chen Guoxing followed closely and said: "You can't blame your grandma for being stupid. When will you, a grandfather, be able to compete with rich people? Your grandson must be as smart as Ruirui."
The harvest was gone, and no one had any food to hand over.
The grass was very deep, and Chen Ling didn't see anyone sitting on the slope. It was his father-in-law who was taking Ruirui to herd sheep here.
A hillside covered with green grass and trees appeared in front of us.
The pit in the back where corn seeds were sprinkled has been trampled underfoot.
Wang Laiyun smiled and took a breath, turned a corner at the end of the field, and continued heading westward with one foot deep and one shallow.
That is to say, use the same weight of seeds in exchange.
Wang Cunye was surprised by the Chen Ling spice. After taking it out during the Dragon Boat Festival, he smoked it and it still works.
"That's true. I'm just about to go to the mountains to dig some medicinal materials, and pick some spices along the way to repel insects."
In fact, in the north, public grain delivery is usually done in the twelfth lunar month of winter.
However, Chen Ling did not expect that Zhao Yubao and his family would follow him to raise him. Of course, they must be just for fun.
If you have strong strength and endurance, and are willing to work hard and sweat, your work will be over quickly.
Most of May has passed and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The whole family was also busy working, but at this time Ernier had already rushed over with a big belly and called them back to eat.
I didn't pay it in the past two years because there were floods in the nearby area.
"Hey, don't go. Let's drink two cups of tea first. It's not nine o'clock yet."
Further ahead is the field of Wang Lixian's family.
Chen Guoxing is the brother of village doctor Chen Guoping. They are almost the same brothers. However, Chen Guoxing had been ill a few years ago and has aged rapidly in the past three or four years.
But it can't stand up to the weeds that are half a man tall all over the slope. The bugs in that guy are no joke.
Going downhill was the field belonging to Wang Laiyun's family. It happened that the old man came from the west side of the field, lighting the corns step by step.
Old Man Zhong nodded while playing cards: "Yes, yes, especially grasshoppers and crickets. When they see the light at night, they fly into the house randomly. During the day, there are chickens and ducks running around, which is better. At night, chickens and ducks are better."
You have to sleep too."
In the past few days since I came back from the city, I have been busy planting corn, and I didn't go to see Zhao Yubao much. On the contrary, people often come here every day to enjoy the cool weather, catch up on meals and so on.
"Quail manure, I have no use for it. You can just take it all away. I have piled it all ready-made."
After planting corn, Chen Ling got up unusually late today.
So I had free time today, so Chen Ling went over to take a look around.
When you point out the corn, you naturally point it out according to the wheat ridges, that is, according to the wheat stubble after the wheat harvest, between the two rows of wheat stubble. It is not like rapeseed, which is randomly scattered in the field with a pot.
