My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Can't wait

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

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

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

What's more, there are so many birds near the farm, these pests can't flood at all.

So this bigger bug doesn't need to be taken care of.

After watering the eggplants, I'm going to be busy turning the sweet potatoes.

At this time, it is not very appropriate to say turning seedlings.

Now the sweet potato seedlings have grown up long ago, it should be said "turning the sweet potato vines".

Turning the sweet potato vine after the rain is nothing more than to prevent the sweet potato vine from coming into contact with the wet ground after the rain and grow secondary roots.

Once rooted and grown.

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.

Cannot be left alone.

Eggplants need to be watered after rain, sweet potatoes need to be turned over, scallions need to be sealed, and tomatoes need to be branched.

Now, cucumbers, beans, and tomatoes should all be set up.

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

Choose bamboos of moderate thickness, slenderness and length, cut them down, remove side branches, sharpen the roots, and insert them into the soil.

Each seedling uses a thin stick, two rows of four sticks are crossed into a pinch, **** with a rope, each pinch is connected to the adjacent pinch, and a wooden stick is placed across the top...

So, rows of shelves were erected.

In this way, every job has to be hunched over, and every job has to be done by hand.

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

The family was busy until noon, when Little Sheep came by in a fish product truck and brought a car of fish fry, and at the same time brought the money for the sale of this batch of ornamental fish.

After putting the fry into the pond, Chen Ling asked him to have a meal with him.

By the way, ask some questions.

Mainly concerned about the road conditions nearby.

Because they are going to the city in another seven or eight days, it is better to ask in advance to be more confident.

"Uncle Fugui, the fish in this village are about to mature, and I have to transport the fish to them right now. Don't delay the salted eggs. Why don't we do it again this month?"

Little Sheep is very worried that he will not have time to deliver salted eggs to the city.

"It's okay, there is no delay or no delay, you can just send the fish with peace of mind, and it's the same when you finish it."

Chen Ling smiled. This kid is relatively honest and reliable, and he doesn't have any fancy hands, so he doesn't want to urge him to treat him like an animal.

"But, isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival next month? The salted egg business will definitely be very good when it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival..."

Didn't expect Little Sheep to have his own considerations.

Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this kid had a good point, but there was no need to be too anxious.

"How about this, the salted eggs won't be loaded in the car next time, you can pull it by the basket, when you transport the fish, you can take a basket with you, it's just a few more times, and it will save you from running around again, what do you think? "

"Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Uncle Fugui."

Little Sheep had a moment of silly joy. He has earned a lot from the freight recently, and he is very grateful to Chen Ling, so he really thinks 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, and returned after a while with an iron cage, which contained a big orange cat, scanning everything on the farm warily.

"Is it a female cat?"

"Yes, I caught it from a fish shop, and it happened to be in estrus. Didn't I hear that Uncle Fugui looked for female cats everywhere in spring, so I was caught and brought back."

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

Chen Ling smiled and squatted down to have a look. This orange cat did show signs of heat, and he didn't bother to touch this strange cat. He just took the cage to the backyard and placed it with another male raccoon cat. Get together and lock together.

As for the previous pair, they have already mated and screamed for a few nights, and they should be pregnant by now.

Cats three dogs four. Wait a month or so before you can give birth to kittens.

After settling down the cat and sending the little sheep away, Chen Ling was going to take a stroll around Laohewan in the afternoon to look for wild duck eggs. If there were no wild duck eggs, he would take the dog into the mountains to look for them tomorrow, and visit those wolf cubs by the way.

"Mom, Mom~"

Before going out, Ruirui's loud and clear little milk voice reached her ears.

Chen Ling saw that it was Gao Xiulan who was squatting beside the sand pile, pointing at the photo and teaching him to recognize people.

A straw mat was spread on the sand, and Ruirui sat there with Hei Wa in his arms, with all kinds of small toys in front of him.

He is now holding a small leather hammer that will make a "chirp" sound when it is dropped, and while hitting Hei Wa back and forth, he tilts his little head to look at the characters in the photo.

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

When Gao Xiulan pointed to Chen Ling, his performance was much better than before, and he could utter a few vague words, but it was 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.

It refers to the photo, and refers to my own. I forced myself to be patient and guided: "Come on, Ruirui, follow me, Bo, ah, dad, dad."

Unfortunately, this brat was too playful, not only did he fail to learn how to speak, but he found Chen Ling's tone of voice teaching in this way very interesting, so he couldn't help being amused.

The little thing looked up at Chen Ling with his head up, and let out a long, crisp laugh while shaking a small leather hammer that made a "chirp" sound in his hand, as if he was dancing with his hands and feet, full of joy.

There's no way, Chen Ling's father likes to play with him and tease him. He's used to it. Once he teaches him seriously, he doesn't get used to it. He still feels like he's just playing around with him.

Just like now, that's it.

However, although the little thing is out of tune, the appearance of this pink and jade-carved milk doll is not at all irritating.

Especially when he smiles, his small mouth reveals tender gums and neat white teeth. Against the backdrop of his fair and smooth little face, he is not to mention very cute.

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

"Don't worry, when he grows up a little bit, he will always learn. Didn't your father say that it's too late to call someone..." Gao Xiulan comforted him when she saw his helplessness.

"I know mother."

Chen Ling nodded and smiled: "Go, Rui Rui, Dad will take you out to find duck eggs."

He stretched out his hands to hug him, but Ruirui got tired of playing with the little leather hammer, so he stuffed Heiwa's belly, leaned forward with his small body, propped his two fleshy hands on the straw mat, and rubbed his knees Swish and crawl forward, very fast.

Quickly crawled to the pile of toys, and went to search for toys again.

Come on, I can't rest for a moment, so I won't take him with me.
