Chapter 129
I looked at the little lemon that I was particularly concerned about, and found that it was actually covered with plastic bags. Then I looked at the apple trees and mulberry trees. The places that could be covered were also covered with plastic bags. I was really touched.
She thought that Da Bo and the others just packed blueberries, but she didn't expect that all the fruit trees in front of the house had been taken into consideration. Putting the bags on was not as easy as Li Bo said, how much time would it take?
It is estimated that Uncle Li and Da Bo spent most of the night in bags and didn't sleep much.
"How long have you been doing it, it's so cold at night..."
Uncle Li still smiled: "How long can this thing last? If it's not cold, how could it be cold? Let me tell you that it was all fake when people were picking up firewood in the snow and freezing in the snow. No matter how cold it is,I sweat all over my body when I work, how can I be cold."
"So that's how it is." Li Xiaoxiao didn't thank her, they live together, either you help me, or I help you, there is no need to be polite.
She untied the bag, and the lemon inside was intact, and the color is green now, and it will turn yellow when it is ripe.The surface shows no signs of frost damage.
Li Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief, and mechanically put the paper bag on the lemon, but she suddenly found a problem when putting it on, wait, lemons and blueberries are not planted on intermediate farmland, they will die if they are not watered.
Not only these two kinds of fruit trees, but also her persimmon trees, tomato trees, jujube trees, chestnut trees, pineapple trees and loquat trees all face this problem. Think carefully about the big camphor tree beside the sheep pen.
Life is full of surprises, and it's bald everywhere.
Regardless of the two functional fruit trees, mulberry tree and apple tree, the others except tomato tree, camphor tree and blueberry tree grow into big trees with deep roots and well-developed root system. She does not need to water them specially, but the blueberry tree is growing fruitLi Bo waters it occasionally, but it’s fine if you don’t water it. Other trees are grown from cuttings. They are small and have shallow roots, so they rely on her for watering.
If you don't water them, they will die.
But now the question is, how will she keep these fruit trees now that water is restricted?
Li Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, not panic, and started a wave of analysis first.
"Oh, leave me alone," Li Xiaoxiao was anxious for his wife, this man is really not straightforward, she stomped her foot vigorously, "Where is Chu Hang, take him back to the hospital quickly, or you can take the sheep horn back first!"
Chu Hang jumped up and grabbed people and horns away.
Li Xiaoxiao watched the man being grabbed by the collar and running forward, Chu Hang wished he could pick up the man and run away, and shook his head as he watched, thinking that he would not be able to find such a man in the future, because at critical moments, he would not be able to deal with shitWhat's the use of staying.
She glanced at Chen Mo, and felt that there was no need to worry about such things.
Later, Sister Bing came to fetch water. This time they only left half a tank of water for Li Xiaoxiao, and began to implement water restrictions. Sister Bing brought the paper bag she needed by the way, and Li Xiaoxiao led Ru Ru to cover the blueberries.bag.
This paper bag is much thicker than a thin layer of plastic bag, and it is coated with a layer of wax inside, which makes it feel more weighty in the hand. feel that after this time put it away, and can continue to use it next time. It is not the weather.Put the bag on when it is cold, and put it on when the fruit just grows, so that the fruit can ripen faster.
In addition, the bag is wider than the palm of the hand and deeper than the palm, which is just right for holding a long string of blueberries, and it should be specially selected for her by the patrol battalion.
"Sister," the little girl asked her, tilting her head, "do you want to take off the plastic bag from before?"
This really stopped Li Xiaoxiao from asking.
Take it off, she thinks that there is a bag with double protection, which should be more heat-resistant, but if you don't take it off, she is worried that the temperature will be too high and the blueberries inside will be suffocated.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't struggle with it for too long. Since she ran the farm, every step has been unknown, and she has explored it bit by bit. This is not worth her too much thought: "I don't understand it."
After Ru Ru heard this, a big question mark appeared on her head.
Li Xiaoxiao untied the plastic bag on the blueberry tree beside him: "Half untied, half puzzled, let's see which way is better."
She assigned the easy work to Ru Ru: "You are in charge of the other half, just put the paper bag on it."
Ru Ru wanted to help her untie the plastic bag together, so Li Xiaoxiao went with the little girl, and the two of them worked well together, although they didn't chat much and each did their own thing, but how should I put it, Li Xiaoxiao isI feel that the atmosphere is very warm and much more comfortable than doing things alone.
She likes this feeling.
Ru Ru untied the plastic bag, and Li Xiaoxiao put the paper bag on the blueberries. The two of them untied and put on the blueberry one by one, and the efficiency was much higher.
Master Li passed by, saw them wrapping paper bags, and said, "Ru Ru, go back to the house, take out that basket of tanned fine vines, tie the bag a little, the effect will be better."
Li Xiaoxiao asked, "Uncle, do you want to remove this plastic bag?"
Master Li pondered: "Take it off, you don't need so many layers."
Ru Ru Dangdang ran into the house and took out the rattan basket containing the fine rattan.
This basket of thin vines was not bought from the patrol camp, but Li Xiaoxiao picked them from her own land. She found that there were many such thin vines growing on the rock wall on the side of the valley, so she picked some back and used them.Dare to pick too much for fear of rotting, Uncle Li said he has a way to concoct it.
Don't worry about those big trees, they won't die in the sun. The only ones that really need to worry about are these small trees. Although there are many varieties, there is only one tree of each kind, and there are only five trees if they are full. This way, her pressure will be much less.
As for the water aspect, it is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
The open source has already been opened. Why hasn't the well drilling team she made an appointment to dig wells come here? It can't be that there are too many places that need to dig wells, and the order has already been scheduled for next year.
Then you can only save money.
What else can do? The dry toilet is re-used, and the flushing toilet is not used for the time being. It is too wasteful of water. Then brush teeth and wash face every day, and occasionally use the water for bathing to water the trees. It should be able to hang the life of the fruit trees.
To be on the safe side, she built five extra pieces of middle-level farmland and placed them next to five kinds of fruit trees. Then she picked a section of thick and healthy branches and inserted them on the middle-level farmland.At least she still has seeds.
Thinking about it carefully, the situation is actually not as bad as she imagined. At least the condition of the trees is much better than that of the crops, and it is cloudy during this period. With the cooling down, the water consumption of the plants will be much less, which can be regarded as reduced.her stress.
Finally, she went to see the state of the mulberry and apple trees. These two trees have tenacious vitality, and the water will not affect them for the time being. She is not sure whether the cooling will affect the results. If so, it is better to build a separate greenhouse for these two trees..
Whether it is apples or mulberry leaves, they are all things she needs very much.
"No, it's useless, you can continue to dye the cloth."
She didn't say anything. In fact, Brother Mo was right, but she just didn't want to hear it.
Chen Mo added: "I don't want you to be uncomfortable, I want to prepare for you."
Li Xiaoxiao just laughed.
There are many reasons for people to laugh, joy and joy sometimes even because of anger, but now she laughs because it is sweet, so sweet, so sweet, don’t know why Brother Mo’s words sound so beautiful.
She couldn't help wrapping Brother Mo's hand with both hands, pulled it over to stick to her face, and smiled at him with her head tilted.
Seeing her like this, Chen Mo also had a smile in his eyes.
Li Xiaoxiao was bewildered by his beauty, hey, Brother Mo still looks good when he smiles, and she can't describe it. To put it vulgarly, the flowers are blooming.
The two of them looked at me and I looked at you. When they came back to their senses, twenty minutes had passed.
Li Xiaoxiao: "???"
What happened in between, and why did it take so long?
It feels like magic!
She calmed down and started to concentrate on applying dye. Although it was used for dyeing cloth, the smell was still a bit pungent. don't know when the chicken will be delivered, so need to apply it early to loosen the smell.
After the dye is applied, the next step cannot be done temporarily. It needs to wait for the dye to dry.
Li Xiaoxiao plans to put it in for two days, wait for the smell to dissipate, and then cover it with plastic film. Brother Mo tied the remaining three-meter-long horizontal bar to the wall and the middle of the bamboo tube, which will make the frame of the greenhouse stronger.The remaining steel pipes can just make a boxy door.
Brother Mo tied one side, she painted dye on this side, and left it alone after the skeleton was built.
When she came out swinging her arms, she heard the sound of brakes outside, and then she saw Chu Hang.
This time she couldn't help complaining: "Why do I feel like I've seen you so many times today?"
Chu Hang nodded: "Miss Li is like this, four times to be precise, sheep horns are sliced into medicine, and the horns are not used up."
Thinking about it, it is true. This horn weighs two catties. If you eat all of it, it is not medicine, but a poison that can kill people.
But she looked left and right, but she didn't see her sheep's horns: "Where are the rest?"
Li Xiaoxiao teased the small buds growing on the mulberry tree, and took a pen to blacken the nearby note as a mark, planning to come over tomorrow to see the impact.
Later, when she was eating, she told everyone about saving water, and everyone expressed support, that is, after using the flush toilet, she went back to use the dry toilet. This is not a habit, but there is no problem with other things, even eating well,Li Bo and his son picked up the hoe and went to dig the dry toilet again.
After all, the previous one was used by her as a septic tank.
Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to build a shed for chicken cubs with Uncle Li in the afternoon, but she was busy, so she planned to talk about it after Uncle Li was busy, but Brother Mo called her to come and build it.
She went or went, but hesitated a little: "Will it be difficult?"
The steps to build a greenhouse are not difficult, just put up the skeleton first, and then cover it with plastic film, but the problem is how to build the skeleton?
The palm charcoal work gave her a serious blow before. It was a failure, but it was not a big deal. She was just curious and did it for fun. She had done it once and knew what the process was. YesIt is also good for her, so as not to be deceived by others.
It's just that in front of Brother Mo, she doesn't want him to see her failure. Just kidding, she is also a person who wants to save face, okay?
Chen Mo probably saw her hesitation, and said in a soft voice, "It's not difficult."
Li Xiaoxiao was fascinated by the bewitching male voice, and when she recovered, she had already followed Brother Mo away, her hands touching the materials of the greenhouse.
She hugged the steel pipes that Chu Hang got down before. These steel pipes are quite thick, about the size of her fingers, and the inner wall inside is also thick, not a thin layer. When they collide with each other, they will make dull movements. Such steel pipes are made ofThere is no need to worry about damage to the greenhouse when the typhoon comes.
Brother Mo squatted beside her, and sorted the steel pipes according to their purpose and size. After all the parts were finished, he asked, "How big is the area you want?"
Those beautiful pupils fell on her, and Li Xiaoxiao instinctively looked away: "Three times three, nine squares."
Chen Mo fiddled with the steel pipe a few times, picked out some that were half a meter long, and nailed them into the ground at the same distance on the left and right sides, leaving only ten centimeters outside. Then he picked out a long steel pipe that was taller than a person,Put it on the steel pipe inserted on the ground.
No wonder she said how these steel pipes are narrower at one end, they were used for this purpose.
She can do this too, just like Brother Mo, putting on the steel pipes one by one and twisting them to the bottom, so that the steel pipes are firm. After all the steel pipes on the ground on the left and right sides are connected to the pipes, Brother Mo finds out the steel pipes from the material.A batch of curved bamboo tubes is put on the erected steel pipes using the previous method.
This way the top of an arc appears.
The standing steel pipe is at least two meters long. She couldn't fix herself by holding the steel pipe with one hand like Brother Mo, so she brought a big rattan basket from nearby, put it upside down on the ground, and stepped on the rattan basket to cover the bamboo.Tube.
Li Xiaoxiao immediately felt uncomfortable after finishing the set.
She can understand why the bamboo tube is used on the top. After all, the steel tube is not easy to bend, and the bamboo can be heated to create a satisfactory arc. But as a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, looking at the two colors of the top of the head and the wall, she is really going to die.
As the person who slept in the same room as her, Chen Mo naturally knew the obsessive-compulsive disorder in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes. He took out a bucket of black paint without haste, and said with a brush, "Just paint black."
Li Xiaoxiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's good to be black."
Although the material is different, it still makes her feel a little uncomfortable, but the color looks the same, which is uncomfortable for her.
Li Xiaoxiao readily took the brush, and carefully brushed black paint on the steel pipe. Halfway through the brush, she suddenly thought of a question: "Brother Mo, where did you buy it?"
Chen Mo said, "Ask the cloth dyeing workshop for it."
Could it be the pigment used to dye cloth?
The farm was set up by Brother Mo and her. They are not only responsible for the safety of the farm, but also their food. Uncle Li and the others all get paid.Catch the people around you to bully?
So Chen Mo not only has a salary, but also the highest among them.
It’s just that he usually eats and lives on the farm, clothes, quilts and so on. Li Xiaoxiao prepares a set for himself and brother Mo at the same time. There is really not much money to spend. He thinks it is troublesome to distribute sweet potato noodles every month.It's all stored here with Li Xiaoxiao, just ask her to take it when you need it.
It's just that from Brother Mo to the farm until now, he hasn't asked himself how he got the money, how did he buy the fuel?
Soon she realized that Brother Mo made the money by making glasses, but she didn't expect that the first pot of gold he earned would be on her.
Li Xiaoxiao was delighted in her heart, but she said, "Why did you think of buying paint? If it's not used, it would be a waste and a waste of money."
Chu Hang replied honestly: "Miss Li is in the patrol camp."
Li Xiaoxiao can't laugh or cry, what are you talking to her in the patrol camp?
Chu Hang explained to her in a very serious tone: "Originally, there were sheep horns in stock in the pharmacy of the camp hospital, but they were not used much. When I opened it today, I found that it was broken. We must have medicinal materials like this, so as not to worry about it later.Encounter this situation again."
Does this make sense? She said that she had sawed off the horns of sheep before, and Chu Hang knew about it. Why didn't she buy it from her, and suddenly came to her today.
She can't use the sheep's horn for the time being, and she still has one in her hand, so she should sell that one to the patrol camp. Otherwise, if the situation like this happens again, it will really test people's hearts, and she doesn't want to be kneeled by strange men again.
Chu Hang gave her a good price, and Li Xiaoxiao followed that, and didn't intend to raise the price. She hesitated a little, but said, "Have you checked the other medicinal materials in the pharmacy?"
If it will be broken, there is always something wrong. It may affect not one kind of medicinal material, but many kinds. Check it out in advance, so as not to find that it is broken and cannot be used when it is in a hurry.
Chu Hang nodded: "Miss Li, don't worry, we have already done the screening work."
Chu Hang knew in his heart that it would be fine if she didn't think she was talking too much. If this man left, don't tell him that the man who is not straightforward will come to thank her after a while. She is really not good at dealing with such things.
It's over, now I'm starting to feel embarrassed and anxious.
Li Xiaoxiao glanced at Brother Mo, and when that person came, she hid behind Brother Mo and let Brother Mo handle the thank you occasion, so she decided happily.
Li Xiaoxiao patted on three layers of loofah water, and felt that the skin on her face was still very tight. She seemed to be able to hear the sound of cells dying on her face. What was even more frightening was that there was not much left of loofah water left.
It's still too late to know, she didn't hoard much loofah water, and hoped not to use it up before it rained.
Li Xiaoxiao thought for a while and took out a rabbit fur scarf. This scarf used up all her rabbit fur stock. Originally, she wanted to make a pair of rabbit fur socks for everyone, but she didn't expect that Sister Qing didn't make socks at first.
She put the scarf around her face, revealing a pair of eyes, and the skin on her face felt much more comfortable without being blown by the wind, unlike the fact that it was about to crack in the next second, and people felt that they were getting old.
Li Xiaoxiao went to the fruit forest first to check the place marked yesterday, and the small piece of sprout shrank when it was blown by the wind, and it hit her face directly, and even hit her heart directly.
It seems that even functional plants cannot resist climate change, so it seems that winter mulberry trees are
