Chapter 389 There is no need to rush
There are not only aphids and other pests 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 all eaten by birds in the evening or early morning when pest activity is slow.
Not to mention there are so many birds near the farm, these pests cannot spread at all.
Therefore, no one needs to take care of these larger insects.
After chasing water for the eggplants, it’s time to get busy plowing the sweet potatoes.
It is not very appropriate to talk about turning over rice seedlings at this time.
Now that the sweet potato seedlings have grown up, it is better to say "turn over the sweet potato vines".
The purpose of plowing sweet potato vines after rain is nothing more than to prevent the sweet potato vines from coming into contact with the moist soil after rain and causing secondary roots to grow.
Once rooted and growing.
These secondary roots will grow into small sweet potato whips, which are not only inedible, but will also rob the main rhizome of nutrients, resulting in reduced yield.
Can't let it go.
Eggplants need to chase water after rain, sweet potatoes need to be pruned, green onions need to be sealed, and tomatoes need to be forked at the top.
Now, it’s time to set up the cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes.
The thin bamboo sticks 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 wooden sticks crossed to form a bunch, tied with rope, each bunch is connected to the adjacent bunch, with a wooden stick across the top...
So, rows of shelves were erected.
In this way, every job has to be done with a bent back, and every job 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 aquatic product truck. While delivering a truck of fish fry, he also brought the money from the sale of this batch of ornamental fish.
After releasing the fry into the pond, Chen Ling stayed with him to have a meal.
Ask me a few questions.
I am mainly concerned about the road conditions nearby.
Because they are going to the city in seven or eight days, it would be better to ask in advance to feel 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. Why don't we make another trip this month?"
Little Sheep was worried that he would be busy and would not have time to deliver salted eggs to the city.
"It's okay. There is no delay in this. Just send the fish with peace of mind. It counts as the same after you finish the job."
Chen Ling smiled, this guy is quite honest and reliable, there is nothing fancy about it. Intestines, so I don't want to rush him and treat him like an animal.
"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, Little Sheep has his 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 do this. You won’t load the salted eggs into the truck next time. You can just pull them by the basket. When transporting fish, just bring a basket with you. It will only come a few more times, and it will save you the trouble of traveling all the time. Okay, what do you say?”
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you, Uncle Fugui.” Little Sheep felt silly for a while. He had made a lot of money from the freight recently, so he was very grateful to Chen Ling. I really think about Chen Ling.
"By the way, Uncle Fugui, I brought you a cat, which is still locked in the car."
Continuing to eat and drink, the boy suddenly slapped his forehead, got 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.
“It’s a female cat, right?”
“Yes, it was caught from a fish shop, and it’s just in estrus. Didn’t I hear people say that Uncle Fugui goes everywhere looking for female cats in the spring? The cat was 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 being in heat, and he didn't bother to touch it. This strange cat just took the cage to the backyard, put it and another male mountain civet together, and locked them together.
As for the previous pair, they had mated a long time ago. After several nights of screaming, they should be pregnant by now.
Cats three dogs four. After another month or so, the kittens will be born.
After settling the cat and sending the little sheep away, Chen Ling is going to go for a walk in Laohewan in the afternoon to look for wild duck eggs. If there are none, he will take the dog into the mountains to look for them tomorrow and take a look. Those wolf cubs.
"Mom, Mom~"
Before going out, Rui Rui's loud little milky voice reached her 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 people.
There was a straw mat spread on the sand. 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 Hei Wa back and forth while tilting his little head to look at the people in the photo.
When Gao Xiulan pointed to Wang Susu, he grinned, stretched out his hands, and called mother with bright eyes.
When Gao Xiulan pointed out to Chen Ling, his 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 both to the photo and to oneself, Qiangzi patiently guides: "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 properly, but he 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. He let out a long and crisp laugh while shaking the little leather hammer that made a chirping sound, as if he was dancing with joy.
No way, Chen Ling, his father, likes to play with him and tease him. He is used to it. Once he teaches him seriously, he doesn't get used to it and still feels that he is playing tricks on him.
Just like now, that's it.
However, although the little thing is inconspicuous, 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 can always learn it 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, daddy will take you out to find duck eggs."
He stretched out his hand to hug, Unexpectedly, Ruirui got tired of playing with the little leather hammer and stuffed it under Heiwa's belly. She leaned forward with her little fleshy palms on the straw mat, and her knees rubbed against each other. Climbing forward is very fast.
He quickly crawled to the toy pile and went to look for toys again.
Come on, I won’t be restless for a moment, I won’t take him with me anymore.
