Happy Farm Ranch

Chapter 185 Belongs to the Lucky Cat

Spring is a season full of vitality. There is a piece of fresh green and blooming flowers everywhere, and the spring is infinite in the farms and pastures.

The wheat seedlings planted last year are now new, and the green looks like a blanket for the farmland.

All the farmland in Huatanao was under the control of Su Mu, so except for the area allocated to grow melons, fruits and vegetables, all of them were wheat fields.

The breeze blows, and the endless, shiny green wheat seedlings are rippling with the wind, which makes people fascinated.

"Open the gate and release the water!"

Standing by the side of the reservoir, Lao Hei unlocked the iron lock at the gate, then pulled open the gate vigorously, and yelled at the same time.

This reservoir is like a vast lake surrounded by mulberry trees.It may be because the sumac has mixed space water into the reservoir. These mulberry trees must have rooted under the reservoir underground, so they can absorb much more space water than the crops in the farmland. Very lush.

The small tree that was only planted last year is now full of small flowers, and you can smell the fragrance of flowers when you get closer.If nothing else, you can eat fresh mulberries in summer.

Under the leadership of An Lu, the children in the village are trying to raise silkworms.

This forest became a good place for them to look for silkworm food. Fortunately, there are enough mulberry trees, and with the effect of water in the space, the trees are now thick and strong, which can withstand the children's troubles.

With Lao Hei's whistle, the water in the reservoir quickly flowed through the fine grate into the canal that had been repaired.

Now the farm is on the right track, with neat canals extending in all directions.When you need to water the ground, you only need to make a little effort to open the heavily protected gate, and then you don't need to manage it any more.

There is a pumping motor in the cistern to ensure that the water can flow continuously to the drain.

To irrigate the farmland, only one person is required to stand guard beside the gate; several other people stand guard on the left and right sides of the large canal, and after the water has finished irrigating a piece of farmland, the canal can be changed.

In this way, irrigated farmland, which used to be a headache for the villagers, became quite simple.

You know, before Su Mu returned to Huatanao to start farming and animal husbandry, the villagers had to rely on their shoulders to carry water if they wanted to irrigate the land.Because the Peach Blossom River has been used for so many years, the terrain has long since been flushed. Except for the farmland very close to the river, which can be diverted directly to the canal, the places a little farther away from the river have to rely on manpower.

Therefore, the villagers are generally not willing to reclaim land far from the river bank.

After all, when it was time to irrigate, no matter how strong a man was, he could be exhausted just by carrying water with his arms.

"Ou Shao, An Qi, you two hurry up, the ground that has just been watered is too muddy, step on it carefully and bring your shoes full of mud!" Su Mu was wearing a big yellow-orange straw hat, with a hoe on his shoulder, hanging With a straw basket, it looks really interesting.

"Hahaha, Muzi, you're too late!" Xiang Anqi laughed loudly, pulled her right foot out of the mud, and then lifted it up to let the two of them see her muddy shoe, "I You're so stupid, why didn't you think that the freshly irrigated land would be very wet? Just now you wondered if walking in the freshly watered land would be lucky to pick up small fishes!"

She laughed, but walked out of the farmland with great difficulty.

Ou Chen was a little better than him, he just stepped on it and reacted quickly when he heard Su Mu's reminder.

Even so, a lot of mud stuck to his soles.

Ou Chen simply took off his sneakers, stepped on the muddy ground with his bare feet, and came to help Xiang Anqi who was almost unable to walk.

"You're so smart, you won't prick your feet like this?" Xiang Anqi saw him throwing his shoes and socks on the field ridge, so she bent down to untie the shoelaces, and then stepped a pair of delicate white feet into the mud, "Oh, it feels so fun! It's soft and slippery, as if there's nothing on it!"

Seeing that the two of them were busy rolling up their trousers, they accidentally rubbed their arms and face with mud marks all over, and couldn't help laughing, "Look at you two, you really look like a pair of mud! An Qi , don't rub it on your face anymore, you're going to be a little cat, hurry up and ask Ou Shao to wipe it off for you."

"Hahaha, it really looks like a little tabby cat!" Ou Chen looked up, and Xiang Anqi didn't know how to do it, and rubbed several mud marks on her cheeks, which looked like a cat's whiskers.

He suddenly became playful, and casually smeared some mud on the tip of her nose, "It's more like this!"

"I'm still waiting for you to help wipe it off, okay, come here and let me wipe it off!" Xiang Anqi was startled, and after realizing it, she grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, held Ou Chen down with a smile, and insisted on giving it to him. draw on.

Ou Chen was entangled with her, naturally he was reluctant to use his strength, and finally bent down obediently to ask Xiang Anqi to draw a cat face for herself.

"I said, have you two had enough fun? Today we are here to pick shepherd's purse and go home to make dumplings. If we continue playing like this, we won't be able to eat the dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse!" Su Mu took the grass basket on the hoe in his hand, Remind them not to forget the task of coming to the farm.

Because of the effect of space water, the crops on the farm grow well, but there are many kinds of weeds that also take the opportunity to grow wildly.

Naturally, sumac can't use pesticides to grow green vegetables. Fortunately, there are not many weeds. Under the strong management of Mrs. Hei and the others, as long as there are weeds, they will be eradicated.

Even so, there are still many tender shepherd's purses growing in the wheat fields.

Su Mu is very fond of this kind of wild vegetables with a fresh taste, so he has the idea of ​​creating an intimate opportunity for Ou Chen and brings them over to pick wild vegetables.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, I saw several big ones! Speaking of which, I have never eaten dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse." Xiang Anqi bent down with a smile, but when she lowered her head, she found several shepherd's purse plants. It grows not far away.

She hurried forward to pull it out, and then threw it into the small basket on her back.

Su Mu harvested the most, and there were already a lot of tender green shepherd's purse in the grass basket he took. I think the dumplings at noon today will be very fresh and delicious.

"You two need to work harder, you two can't pick as much as me!" Su Mu played with the straw hat on his head, and then smiled at Ou Chen: "Ou Shao, that's not a shepherd's purse but a weed Just unplug it, don’t put it in the basket.”

Just after correcting Ou Chen, who still can't tell the difference between weeds and wild vegetables, Su Mu was about to move forward, but he heard the sound of flapping edges, and then saw a shadow flying towards him!
Before he could dodge, the shadow quickly got into the straw hat in his hand!

"Muzi, you belong to the lucky cat, right? You can get rich today! Just by standing still, wild quails can fly into the straw hat!" The owner of the car who was changing the mouth of the canal not far away hurried over when he saw this. He covered his straw hat with a smile and said: "It seems that this guy mistook your straw hat for a nest, or he was tired from flying. Hey, take it back and let my old uncle clean it up, and it's okay to eat and drink. Not bad!"
