My 1995 Small Farm - #709 - Vol 3 Chapter 698: Winter is warm, is it a disaster year?

 The weather has been sunny for several days, and finally it rained a little.

Although it is not snow, the light rain after winter is also cold.

 Getting up early, Chen Ling and his wife found thick sweaters and put them on, while the two old men put on cotton trousers. The winter rain was wet and cold, so you should be careful as you get older.

 Ruirui was also wrapped up thickly.

The brat wore a raincoat early in the morning, took Heiwa Xiaojin with him, and held the small whip specially made for him by Wang Cunye. While waving it, he shouted fiercely and stopped Yu Qian at the door to prevent him from entering.

Yu Qian is an old boy who has no integrity and always teases him deliberately.

 The more important point is that since Yu Qian’s arrival, the turtle happened to have entered hibernation.

 Before, he used those turtles to train crows with Wang Zhenzhen.

Ruirui thought that it must be this bad uncle who made his precious turtles not fun.

 No one could move.

The main thing is that Ruirui raises the turtle very closely. Of course, he doesn’t know how to raise it for such a young child. He just plays with it in his hands, and then feeds the turtle when he gets interested.

 It’s just that the local wheat field turtles are yellow-margined turtles that can raise relatives and interact with people.

Ruirui has been playing for a long time, and the big and small turtles will naturally be willing to get close to him.

Like puppies, when the brat yelled, they crawled out of the turtle pond and crawled up to him.

Since Yu Qian took his turtle, the little turtles have become less lively.

 Is there any need to say more?

No matter how simple and simple the little kid is, he still knows that it is Yu Qian, the bad uncle, who caused the bad things.

 So starting from yesterday, Ruirui would not let Yu Qian enter the house.

Yu Qian and his wife had no choice but to live in the courtyard of the village.

It just so happens that the two elders of the family will be moving there in a while, so it would be good to let the younger couple live there for a while to build up some popularity.

“Uncle is here to lead the horse. I don’t want to eat anymore. Is that okay?”

“No!”

Ruirui’s little face was bulging into a bun, waving a small whip and shouting: “Heihei, bite!”

As soon as Heiwa heard the order from his little master, he immediately started barking and pounced on Yu Qian.

Of course this is definitely not a real bite.

 Heiwa recognizes his own people.

 But it also requires Yu Qian’s cooperation.

 Otherwise, if the little boy is dissatisfied, he will not be let go easily.

So Yu Qian looked frightened and threw away the umbrella in his hand. He was chased by Heiwa and ran around the orchard in the drizzle, screaming, causing the animals in each pen to stretch their necks and raise their heads. The head looks out.

Afu and Ashoudu were upstairs looking down.

The wild geese also kept quacking.

“Rui Rui, be good Rui Rui, uncle doesn’t dare to do it anymore, uncle will catch a basin full of baby turtles for you next year, okay?”

Yu Qian was running in the rain while still trying his best to coax Ruirui. He just likes to tease children.

Generally, he can quickly calm down someone who is in a hurry. For example, the little kids in the village like to play with him.

 But it failed in Ruirui.

“No!”

The little boy frowned angrily and shouted: “Jin Jin will go too!”

Xiao Jin glanced at his little master helplessly, and had no choice but to run into the rain to chase Yu Qian.

 There is no way, these turtles are second only to his little white elephant toys in Ruirui’s heart.

Yu Qian broke his precious turtle, how could he not be sad?

 I cried once the night before yesterday.

 It was Chen Ling who put in a lot of effort to coax him into doing it.

 So these two days, Yu Qian was chased by Rui Rui, but Chen Ling didn’t care.

But we need to take care of this unattractive old boy.

By this time, Bai Huining was already having breakfast at home, drinking hot porridge and salted duck eggs. Hearing the noise outside, he also said, “I don’t care about him. Who told him to be out of shape? Ruirui is still so young to tease him.”

 That’s good now, the youngest one is the hardest to bully.

 There are many people who can support the little baby.

Well, Yu Qian did have something serious to do today.

 First of all, the pack horses have to be transported away.

There is an empty car at Little Sheep. When the weather clears up and the road surface dries out a little, we can continue driving.

 Livestock transportation is unlike anything else.

Especially if the journey is long, take good care of water and food, and prepare preventive medicines and the like.

 Although the packhorse’s hide is strong, it is still prepared for any trouble.

Yu Qian is planning to use these pack horses to return to Beijing to make a big deal.

 Except for pack horses.

On the other hand, Chen Ling also received a series of life-threatening reminders from the zoo and wanted the tiger to go back as soon as possible.

ˆThe farm series cartoons are very popular recently.

 The little tiger in the cartoon was very popular among children after it came out.

 The tiger in Chenwangzhuang has also been in the news.

ˆ I contacted the news program that I filmed before and there was a legendary story about tigers. Many local people called the zoo.

 Some people want to take their children to see tigers, and some adults want to see them themselves. Chen Ling wanted to send the tiger back. Yu Qian wanted to help him with the geese and pigeons at home.

 He likes to do this kind of thing.

But now, if Rui Rui can’t coax him, he probably won’t be able to do this.

 There will be less rain after autumn this year, and it rarely rains heavily in winter.

 This time, it may be because it didn’t rain much throughout the autumn, or it may be because it was a really mild winter.

 The rain slowly became heavier.

 It’s just that it’s definitely not as good as the heavy rainstorms in summer. At most, it’s moderate rain, but it keeps raining.

 The temperature also dropped.

If it’s really low, freezing rain would actually be okay.

 However, the temperature is too low to reach subzero.

 The rainwater falls to the ground and does not freeze at all.

 When he arrived at the wheat field, he let the wheat seedlings drink to their full content.

After the frost, the wheat seedlings turned from green to dark green, but they were watered by this rain, and they became green again.

  Zhao Yubao, Wu Fei, He Jiawen… such cultural figures are still immersed in joy.

 Thought this was a magical and good phenomenon.

 In the warm winter, wouldn’t it be nice to see all the vitality withered and the eyes full of desolation?

The folks in the village were feeling a little worried.

 Chen Ling knew what Zhao Yubao and others were thinking, and he could only say that zoologist and botanist were not real agriculturists after all.

 It doesn’t mean that winter is good everywhere because it is warm.

 For example, here, it snows every year on the mountains, and they grow winter wheat.

If the temperature is high in winter, the weather is too warm to snow, and there is enough rain, then wheat will grow wildly.

 At that time, quickly joint and lift the pole.

 In this case, let’s not talk about the impact of the wrong season.

 A late cold spell at the beginning of the next spring can wipe out all this year’s wheat and result in no harvest.

the reason is simple.

 Unjointed winter wheat is also good at resisting cold and frost.

People can step on it, trample it, walk around in the wheat fields, or even simply graze.

 But once the winter wheat is jointed, it starts to take off.

 If there was snow at that time, it would be a disaster.

 For farmers, half the harvest has been lost.

“Everything else is going well this year, and I’ve made money. It’s winter, but there’s no snow, and there’s such a strange rain. If it continues like this, I think it’ll be a little difficult to get wheat this year.”

“What should we do? Why don’t we ask Professor Zhao and the others? They bought a large farm machine…”

“I think it’s useless to ask Professor Zhao about this matter. I’d better ask about wealth. He knows many people, or ask the old uncle.”

 “Okay, let’s go, let’s not eat now, let’s go to Fugui’s house for a while.”

So on this day, when the sky was dark, many people wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas stood all over the yard of Chen Ling’s house.

They refused to enter the living room even when they came, for fear of getting dirty by him, so they set up a table under the eaves, cooked a pot of tea, and talked about it.

 Said he didn’t expect it to be so warm this winter.

 Some people asked whether Prince Turtle had really left and was no longer here, which was why such a strange thing happened.

 Some people said that the county was messing around and angered Prince Turtle.

 To put it bluntly, it’s the same thing about Fengxian County in Journey to the West, and the people in the village believe it.

 Worried about this.

 At the same time, he hopes that Chen Ling can find a solution.

 For such things, you need to have a plan in advance so that you don’t panic when the worst happens.

 Because they really have no way to predict whether the temperature will drop or whether it will snow.

Chen Ling thought for a while and said, “I’m going to send the tiger back to the zoo in a while. Then I’ll go to the provincial capital to ask someone. Tomorrow I’ll ask the people who photographed red-crowned cranes to see if they know anyone. I’ll call and ask.” …”

“In this business, the village relies on you to recruit children. Otherwise, this year’s winter will feel like spring, which is different from the warm winters in previous years. I’m afraid those old methods won’t work.”

 Chen Dazhi sighed and said.

 The so-called old methods are some methods to inhibit the rapid growth of winter wheat when encountering a warm winter.

　　It is nothing more than cutting it manually, letting animals eat it, or using various things such as stone rollers to harm the wheat seedlings.

 Various ways to inhibit their rapid growth.

 Prevent them from jointing and lifting.

“Look at what Brother Dazhi said, if the old methods don’t work, let’s think of new ones…According to what you said, there are still fewer geese coming this year. Even if they don’t come to eat the wheat seedlings, we still have to look forward to them coming to eat every day, right? …”

 Chen Ling’s words were simply thinking of the harm done to the wheat seedlings, and the wild geese that came to eat the wheat seedlings every day.

  But I just finished speaking.

 Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

　　‘Fuck! Wild geese eat wheat seedlings! ’

　　‘How could I forget this…’

　　‘You need to find someone else? The method is at hand! ’

 Then the thoughts and crooked ideas started to pop up uncontrollably. (End of chapter)
