Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

It is still very hot in Beijing in August, with the highest temperature sometimes reaching 38 degrees. The farm also has a two-hour break at noon, but they don't check the time because they don't have clocks.

Yuan Fu always looks at the sun to decide when to go to work.

After the meal, everyone found a place to rest. They found a place under a big tree, moved a stool and lay down to sleep, enjoying the cool breeze, which was quite comfortable.

"Young manager, I have something to tell you. The vegetables on the newly reclaimed land over there are infested with insects again. We need you to go and take a look!" Just when everyone was taking a break, Yuan Fu seemed to remember something and said hurriedly.

"Are there bugs? Let's go and take a look!" Regardless of the scorching sun, the two men wore straw hats and went to check on the seedlings.

When he arrived at the field, Li Guohua discovered that the leaves of the vegetable seedlings in at least half an acre of land were withered and yellow. When he pulled them out, he found that the roots of some of the vegetables were rotten.

"Haven't you encountered this before?" Li Guohua asked curiously.

"There were some before, but not much. We just turned the soil over, let it dry for a few days, and then replanted it. There are really too many this time, so I don't know how to deal with it!" Yuan Fu said anxiously.

Li Guohua invited him back because he valued his experience and wanted to use him as a vegetable growing expert. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't solve the problem.

"Okay, I get it, I'll take a look!"

I have seen this kind of situation before, and it was all some common diseases in summer. However, there are no targeted pesticides at this time, and the common method is to turn the soil and replant.

But now this kind of large-scale problem is a bit difficult to deal with.

Li Guohua looked around the fields and found that most of the ridges had this situation, but only a few seeds were found.

Finally, when he came to the land that was about to mature, Li Guohua found that the crops were growing very well and there was no sign of yellowing at all.

How could this be? This was the land I originally reclaimed and took care of in the same way. How could it be different?

"Uncle Yuan, how do you take care of this land?"

"I didn't take care of them much. I watered them the same way for fattening. If there's any difference, it's probably the water I used!"

"These plots of land all use the water from this small pond, and the other plots of land use the water we carry from the river!" Yuan Fu said, pointing around.

The river was in the southeast corner of the farm, and they opened a small gate there, very close to the edge of the field. The fields here were closest to the yard and also the farthest from the river, so they used water from the pond.

After hearing this, Li Guohua understood where the problem lay, which was in this puddle.

The puddle here was dug by Li Guohua using space in the early stage, and the water is also space water. So, space water can also fertilize the land and treat pests and diseases. An idea came to Li Guohua's mind.

"Uncle Yuan, from today on, you can use the water in this pond to irrigate the fields, and then we'll see what happens when the time comes!" Li Guohua said after thinking for a while.

"Will this work?" Yuan Fu also thought of the problem and asked in surprise.

“You’ll know if you try it!”

Although this pond is not big, it is very deep. It can be used to irrigate an acre of land. At worst, I can secretly fill it with water at night.

Now it seems that I have one more secret weapon to control the farm.

"Uncle Yuan, I'm looking at the vegetables in the field. Should they be ready to be picked?"

After such a long period of care, the first batch of transplanted seedlings finally matured. There were green vegetables, as well as fruits and melons. Some of them were purchased from the commune brigade, and some were transplanted from space.

In fact, what they eat today is grown by the farm itself, but the quantity is too small, so they cannot announce the good news for the time being.

Li Guohua thought that since this was his first harvest, he must hold a ceremony and take a few dozen kilograms to the factory for the leaders to taste.

"Well, it's ready! The few ridges over there are ripe, and the cucumbers transplanted in the greenhouse over there are ready to be picked." Yuan Fu pointed to the vegetable field and introduced it clearly.

"Well, tomorrow you guys should get up early, pick more, and arrange them beautifully, and I'll send them to the factory!"

Now that you have achieved something, you must take credit for it in front of your leader, otherwise no one will remember you.

"Okay, I'll tell them this afternoon, and I'll definitely not let you down!"

Looking at the vast piece of land in front of him, Li Guohua couldn't help but feel a little complacent. All of this was accomplished under his leadership.

A few days ago, Zheng Aimin asked me to reclaim the farm as soon as possible, and he even went to see the factory director for this purpose. I don't know why there has been no follow-up.

The farm has now reclaimed about 15 acres of land. Li Guohua plans to reclaim another part of it, and the rest will be used to grow crops.

Vegetables are just vegetables after all, they cannot fill your stomach. So you should plant more potatoes, corn and other high-yield crops and prepare to face the difficulties that are coming.

By the way, chickens and ducks should also be put on the agenda. The farm is so large, and there are grasses everywhere, so we can just let them roam freely without spending any food.

"Xiuxiu!"

"I'm here!" Zhang Xiuxiu heard Li Guohua calling her and ran over happily.

Li Guohua discovered that this girl had some feelings for him, but since he already had a partner, there was no time for him to mess around with other girls.

"The last time I went to your village, the old village chief's dog seemed to be about to give birth, right?"

After all, the farm is too big. At night, when everyone is asleep, a thief cannot be found. It is better to have two dogs.

"They've already laid, and they're this big, five of them! Dahei doesn't have enough milk, so the old village chief has to save his food to make rice soup to feed them!" Zhang Xiuxiu gestured with her little hands and said happily.

"Last time I agreed with the old village chief that I would get two puppies when they are born. You and Zhiyong should go home in the next few days and bring them back for me!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

Dahei is an old dog of more than ten years old. It is very good that he can give birth to five puppies. It is also good that he has not been eaten these days, not to mention that he can be full and produce milk.

"okay!"

Zhang Xiuxiu seemed very happy when she saw Li Guohua assigning her a job.

After taking care of the dog, I went to check the kitchen.

There were three rice jars in total. Half a jar of sorghum rice was left, a little less than half a jar of two-grain flour was left, and there was still quite a lot of corn flour, half a large jar left.

There are also more than a dozen pieces of dried rabbit meat hanging on the wall.

"There is enough rice and flour. If you eat sparingly, it will last you at least a month!" Jiang Dongmei appeared outside the door at some point.

"Well, cook as much as you can eat, as long as there is no waste!"

Li Guohua nodded. Jiang Dongmei was now his logistics manager.

"Ok!"

Jiang Dongmei was very satisfied with her current life. She was not hungry and could bring some leftovers to her two children. Moreover, this young leader was very nice to others and never scolded her.

"Sister Jiang, please be careful about the way you dress. It's inconvenient for everyone to live together!" Li Guohua looked at the other person's cleavage that was about to be exposed and gestured gently.

There are eight rooms in total in the farm bungalow. Except for the southernmost room which is used as a kitchen and the northernmost room which is used as an office, everyone else lives here.

Zhang Zhiyong and Yuan Fu lived in two rooms next to the office, Jiang Dongmei and Zhang Xiuxiu lived in the room next to the kitchen, and there were several empty rooms in between.

Jiang Dongmei and Zhang Xiuxiu usually take turns taking a shower and keep an eye on each other, so it's not a big problem.

It's summer now and everyone's clothes are relatively thin. Sometimes it's so hot that you have to unbutton a button.

Jiang Dongmei is the type of person who has the capital, and here... especially during lunch break, if you are not careful, her big breasts will be exposed.

The farm is full of young men and bachelors, who can stand it? It's okay to race horses privately, but if someone gets too excited and his animal instincts overcome his rationality, and something scandalous happens, it will be bad.

"Well, I see!"

Jiang Dongmei looked down at her chest, quickly covered it with her hands, then nodded with a blushing face.
