Chapter 427 South Wind
There is also a fence next to the grain field, but this fence is not as high as the wooden wall outside, it is only a little more than two meters.
The sheep can't really see what's going on inside, but the cows in the house can see inside by stretching their necks. Since the seedlings have grown taller, they have been circling around outside, and it's obvious that they are very interested in the fresh and tender rice seedlings.
But he couldn't get in, so he could only watch outside every day, pacing back and forth, and trampled the grass around the grain field until it was bare.
After the two men came out after planting the rice seedlings, it was still a little dark. Zhao Yeqing almost stepped on a large pile of cow dung beside the fence. He quickly braked and changed direction, and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Mu Xi quickly supported her, but she had not washed her hands after planting the rice seedlings. She just rubbed her hands casually in the water in the field. The mud and water remaining on her palms inevitably got on her clothes.
Zhao Yeqing patted his chest with lingering fear, and hurriedly checked around to see if there were any "traps".
"Fortunately, I didn't step into it, otherwise I wouldn't want to keep this foot anymore."
This cow is much taller and bigger than the big yellow cows raised by farmers in the past. It eats a lot and poops a lot. If it is kicked down, its feet will probably be buried in it.
Zhao Yeqing felt a little uncomfortable, so she pulled Mu Xi and walked quickly into the yard. After dinner, they were lying on the bed and chatting. She said, "We still need to clean up the cow and sheep manure outside. We have planted the seedlings today. If you don't feel sore in your waist tomorrow, let's go clean up outside."
The rice fields where the seedlings have just been planted need a shallow layer of fertilizer. It should have been done right after planting, but it is a bit late tonight so the fertilizer can only be applied tomorrow.
Fertilizers are used in many places in spring. Vegetable fields, greenhouses, grain fields, and pastures all need fertilizers. Now it is almost used up. After the rice fields are fertilized, they will be completely emptied. The manure can be directly thrown in for fermentation to replenish the surplus.
Otherwise, when you need to apply fertilizer again after a while, you will have to use a septic tank.
The weather is getting much warmer now. There has been a southerly wind recently. The air is very humid. The temperature has risen by 7 or 8 degrees. It is almost 30 degrees at noon. But this is temporary. When the southerly wind passes, the temperature will drop.
While the weather is warm, it is the right time to ferment manure.
Mu Xi glanced at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening. Usually, they would have gone to bed at this time. Today, transplanting rice seedlings was even more tiring, but Zhao Yeqing still couldn't sleep. He was scared by that thing.
Mu Xi took the novel from her hand and put it down. "Go to sleep first. I'll come to clean up the inside of the wall tomorrow. You just need to mix the cement in the yard. We can also pave the cement road before it starts to rain."
If it weren't for this south wind, it would have dried out in a week after paving. But when the south wind came, the humidity in the air was no different from a light rain. If the south wind doesn't go away, it would take more than ten days for the paved path to dry.
Zhao Yeqing calculated based on common sense, "Last year it lasted for about a week. The south wind has been blowing for two days. It is estimated that it will not be humid for four or five days at most. I am afraid that it will rain when the humidity is high."
The limestone had been scattered with water today and placed in the backyard with the intention of processing it and paving the road tomorrow. Zhao Yeqing muttered that it would be great if the wolves were not around, and he wouldn't have to worry about the feces when he let the cattle and sheep out.
"After we finish our work, let's go outside and take a look..."
Before Mu Xi could reply, Zhao Yeqing began to breathe evenly.
When she woke up again, it was already past nine in the morning. Hearing a sound coming from the backyard, Zhao Yeqing walked to the window and looked out, and saw Mu Xi had just walked out of the fermentation greenhouse in the backyard.
"When did you wake up?"
Mu Xi was working when he heard a sudden noise next to him. He was startled and almost hit his foot with the shovel he was using. He recovered and looked up helplessly and replied, "I got up like this at eight o'clock. I just shoveled a bucket and poured it in, and you woke up."
Zhao Yeqing responded and went downstairs to wash his face. This time, the humidity from the south was so sticky that his face felt very uncomfortable. But there was no such thing as facial cleanser at the moment, and most of the daily necessities had expired. He could only wipe his face with a towel several times.
I soaked the towel with warm water, dissolved most of the stickiness on my face, and then washed my face again with cold well water, and finally I felt a little refreshed.
Zhao Yeqing looked at the damp floor and sighed, muttering to himself:
"This tile is not good either. It's full of water since the beginning of the south wind. I can't dry it... The same goes for this towel. There's no difference between the towel I used to wash my face last night and the one I just took out of the water."
This humid weather is really uncomfortable. If she has to choose, she would rather stay in the room and warm herself by the fireplace on a snowy day with the temperature at minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius. Even if it is freezing cold outside, it is still much more comfortable than this 20-odd-degree weather during the return of the south wind.
In the past, there were rarely any south winds in the mountains. I remember that during this period I could always see South China F3 on the Internet, complaining every day about the south winds that would cause rain indoors. Now she can also experience this suffering firsthand.
After taking a shower after coming back from transplanting rice yesterday, I didn’t choose to dry my clothes after washing them. I spun them dry and hung them outside. Now they are even wetter than when I first hung them up. Not only are they wet, but they also have a stuffy smell.
I had to take them all down and throw them into the washing machine to wash them again, and this time I didn’t forget to turn on the drying function.
The power of the generator has a rated standard, and multiple high-power electrical appliances cannot be operated at the same time. After Mu Xi got up in the morning, he used an electric pressure cooker to cook soup. Now the washing machine is drying, and there is a refrigerator in the kitchen that is also running.
After adding the power of all electrical appliances, I found that the data was not much different from the calibration of the generator. I went to the planting basement in the backyard and turned off all the planting lights inside.
It is too humid during this period, and I dare not open the PC board above. The overly humid air can easily make the seedlings below sick.
In this horrible weather, if there is even a tiny leak anywhere, the whole house will become damp.
There are a few cherry tomatoes in the planting basement, which Zhao Yeqing cultivated as snacks. He didn't have time to plant them last year, and he won't plant so many watermelons this year. There are only a few strawberry plants left, so he plans to plant some cherry tomatoes as fruit, which are much easier to take care of than strawberries.
Only after coming up from the basement did I dare to press the drying button on the washing machine.
Zhao Yeqing had already planned the path in the backyard in his mind. After mixing the cement and paving the path in the planned area, he laid pieces of broken tiles on the still soft cement and pressed them gently to make its surface level with the cement floor.
It was just afternoon when a path was paved. Mu Xi had finished cleaning outside. After taking a shower, he asked, "You said last night that you wanted to go outside to take a look. Do you want to go today?"
