Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Chapter 409 Gravel Road

Tonight, the two of them had dinner early and went into the house to turn off the lights.

Every night after dark, when there is only a faint moonlight in the sky, it is the time when most animals are active, and monitoring at this time is the busiest time.

The two of them lit a small lamp in the room and closed the curtains, watching a movie while showing the surveillance screen. Zhao Yeqing turned up the surveillance screen facing the trap and turned his head to take a look from time to time.

I don't know if they were too full yesterday. The two of them waited until after one o'clock in the morning but didn't find the target appearing.

After waking up, he didn't look at it again. He didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Without the melon bean paste, Zhao Yeqing was not in the mood to eat the steamed buns. He ate some leftovers from last night and lit the red bricks outside. Set the stove over low heat and put the pig food on it to cook.

The cattle and sheep were let out of the yard by Mu Xi. It is safe to graze like this now, but there are also disadvantages -

There is a lot of unpleasant smell in the space within the wall. Fortunately, the sun is still strong now. If it is a cloudy and rainy day, you don't know how smelly it will be when you go out.

Cattle and sheep are not allowed near the house, so as not to see any unsightly things outside the courtyard.

Now that he had some free time, Zhao Yeqing thought about paving a path at the door to prevent it from raining too much and stepping in water as soon as he went out.

There was no need to pave the path with red cement bricks. Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to go get some gravel from the pile of rocks where he had taken the stones before. It was just outside the birch forest and could be reached by riding an electric tricycle.

Two cartloads of gravel were just enough to cover the path outside the yard, which led directly to the grain field.

The path in the yard that was originally planned to be made of broken tiles has not been paved yet. It is not that there is no material, but it is really too busy recently. I simply wait until the kiln chicken is eaten, dismantle the earthen kiln and then pave the road, which can still be wide. Some.

Gravel paving is simple. Just mark out a rough area, roughly remove the grass on the road, and then lay the gravel on top.

Walk back and forth a few times and step on some of the sharp raised stones into the soil so that your feet won't hurt when you walk.

In the evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the warm yellow sunlight was shining on the backyard. There was a small round bee lying on the white flowers on the two citrus trees transplanted last year.

Logically speaking, it should be the time when the fruits are about to mature, but these two trees have just bloomed. Not only the citrus trees, but also the growth patterns of many crops have deviated, some are delayed and some are advanced.

Zhao Yeqing's notebook is full of records of the new growth patterns and habits of various crops. It is particularly important to adapt to local conditions when it comes to farming.

Before the freedom of electricity, Zhao Yeqing always used paper to record. Later, after he became able to use a computer, many records were made using documents. He was still a little worried. After all, it was saved locally. If the computer broke down, everything would be saved. Everything is gone.

Paper is available but reluctant to part with it. Before the earthquake, the usage rate of paper stationery among contemporary people was not high. More data was recorded in the cloud, and there were very few paper notebooks to be found.

Zhao Yeqing let out a long sigh, is it possible that he still has to make paper?

If order cannot be restored, we can't be short of paper for the rest of our lives, right?

In the past, I was too lazy to buy anything I needed. I would take out food if I could, and shop online if I could. But now I have to start making paper to write a few words.

Otherwise, the environment trains people.

After Zhao Yeqing recorded the growth of the citrus trees, Mu Xi called for dinner. Eat early and turn off the lights early. You have to wait until the animal comes today.
