MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 18 entry v notice
As night fell, the end of summer also ushered in the first sleep in this yard.
There are six rooms in this small courtyard. Except for the room where Lin Ling slept upstairs, the tiles and walls of the other two rooms have collapsed. Except for the living room, the other three rooms downstairs are full of sundries. It stores the supplies that Lin Ling retrieved from outside.
There was no spare room for Xia Mo to live in, so he could only be wronged to live in the firewood room in the kitchen. Lin Ling generously gave him an old quilt weighing ten catties, which was enough to keep out the cold at night.
Lin Ling warned: "There are mutant beasts outside, don't run around at night!"
Xia Mu nodded.
Lin Ling glanced at Xia Mu who was still wearing a tattered hat, turned around and left the kitchen, closed the door behind him, then entered through the living room, locked the door behind him, and went upstairs from the stairs in the storage room.
Before going upstairs, Lin Ling glanced at the sofa in the corner of the living room, and then went upstairs.
At the end of Xia, when he heard the door closing outside, he also walked to the door, locked the bolt, and after making sure that it couldn't be opened, he hugged the quilt and spread it on the soft firewood, and then got in.
The surroundings were pitch black, and the cold air was slowly hitting, but Xia Mo, who was wrapped in a quilt, didn't feel cold. He hugged the broken hat tightly in his arms, and his heart was very peaceful.
After going upstairs, Lin Ling lay down on the bed that she hadn't slept in for eight consecutive nights. It was soft and comfortable, and it was many times more comfortable than sleeping in the wild.
"It's really comfortable." Lin Ling sighed comfortably, then picked up the mobile phone that she hadn't touched for half a month and turned it on, and two small red dots appeared in the message center.
She clicked in and saw that there was news in the government affairs release and report sections respectively. She first clicked on the government affairs release and looked at it. It notified three deserters who had received the land but fled, and explained that there would be severe punishment.
Lin Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, no matter how bad the situation is, she can't run away, right? Rather than living in a fixed place, she prefers to stay here anyway, at least tidying up can be regarded as a home.
After the briefing was over, another piece of good news was announced. The new planting area has been opened for collection. At present, 20 people have received the land and set off to cultivate. Finally, everyone is encouraged to receive the land for planting and strive to rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
After reading it, Lin Ling clicked on the report section. It was a notice issued by agricultural experts about solar terms and planting suggestions.
Compared with the official rigor between the lines in the government affairs release, the experts' notice is very casual: "We have received your feedback on problems such as drought, water shortage, and withered vegetation in the planting areas. During the end of the world, natural / natural / disaster / disaster / This is an important cause of climate chaos, withered vegetation, dry rivers, and frequent wildfires. Now we need all of us to work together to plant trees and food, restore the natural environment, and rebuild our homes."
"Currently the weather is dry and the water shortage is serious. We recommend planting drought-tolerant crops such as potatoes first, and at the same time plant large areas of vegetation. After the vegetation grows and the soil can accumulate water, the drought will gradually ease."
"In addition, people can't judge the suitable planting date by temperature. We have carefully prepared a calendar and solar term table for you. It also clearly states what crops should be planted for each festival. I suggest that you follow this table to cultivate."
Although his words were sincere, Lin Ling still felt that it was useless. The wood-type ability was useless, and ordinary growers couldn't grow it, let alone use it.
Lin Ling exited the information center and was about to go to sleep. At this time, Xiaolu jumped to the screen of the mobile phone and pointed to the colorful Tetris: What is this?
Lin Ling pulled Xiaolu who had soaked in the bath and put it under the quilt, "This is for fun."
Xiaolu didn't like the heavy feeling of being pressed by the quilt, so she climbed out of the quilt one by one, and then curled Lin Ling's fingers to click on Tetris. After clicking, the blocks of various shapes and colors clattered fall down.
Lin Ling picked up the phone with both hands, controlled the button to change its shape, and filled the vacant position.
Little Green hugged Gong Linling, it also wanted to play.
"You don't know how to play and you like to join in the fun so much." Lin Ling ignored Xiaolu and continued to play Russia, accumulating dozens of points after a while.
Little Green fiercely jumped up with his hips akimbo to block Lin Ling's sight, just blocking the phone screen: Play for me!
"After playing, the battery will run out, so I can't play anymore." Lin Ling turned off the phone and threw it on the table beside him, and then threw the bear kid Xiaolu onto the pillow beside him: "Sleep!"
Xiaolu's wronged and paralyzed corpse lay on the pillow, pretending to be asleep.
After Lin Ling fell asleep, Xiao Lu sneaked onto the table, rolled up her phone and went into the cabinet.
After dawn the next day, Lin Ling didn't notice that the location of the phone had changed. After going downstairs, he washed his face, boiled two potatoes, and ate one with Xia Mu, "Eat a little, I'll have a meal later." Go out and do a day's work."
At the end of Xia, it was said that he only ate half of it, and kept the rest until he was hungry.
It's not surprising that Lin Ling has seen Mo Xia's behavior like a little hamster likes to stock up a lot: "Leave after eating."
Xia Mo touched the hat on the top of his head, then followed: "Turn the ground?"
"Dig ditches first, and then plow the land." Lin Ling deliberately re-planned the land around the village last night before going to bed because water can be pumped to irrigate the land. However, a lot of water is needed, and the water in the pond is not enough. She pumped water from the reservoir to irrigate the field, planted potatoes after the land was wet, and cleared up two acres of paddy fields to plant rice.
But the village is a little far from the reservoir, and the water pipes may not be enough, so a special canal needs to be dug.
Lin Ling led Xia Mo and walked for an hour to the edge of the reservoir, and began to divert along the ditch below the reservoir. "Dig along here in the direction where we live. It doesn't need to be too deep."
At the end of Xia, he was full and had strength. He controlled the soil to turn outwards, and soon dug a ditch. After digging, he turned to look at Lin Ling who was standing beside him, and wanted to ask if this was okay?
Lin Ling glanced at the dry ditch and nodded, "Just keep digging like this."
After explaining to Xia Mo, Lin Ling walked to the diversion ahead and found a stone to block the original flow of the ditch. Then go to the source of the ditch in front to clean up the stones, soil, weeds and other debris in the ditch, so as not to block it when pumping water later.
After Lin Ling cleaned up and walked towards Xia Mu, he found that he was resting on a stone by the side of the road. When he saw her walking past, he immediately stood up and continued to work.
Seeing this, Xiaolu, the self-proclaimed supervisor, jumped in front of Xia Mo, pointed at Xia Mo like a Zhou skinny, and scolded: You are lazy! To be beaten!
Xia Mo is young, and his powers are not too high. After digging for so long, he is already very tired, his face is abnormally white, his body swayed a little, but he didn't say to rest, and continued to use his powers to dig the ditch .
Xiaolu saw that she was working at the end of summer, and shook the leaves: that's almost the same!
Lin Ling grabbed Xiaolu and put it in his pocket, pointed to the shaded place under a big rock next to him, "It's too hot, let's rest for a while."
At the end of Xia, he glanced at Lin Ling, and then at Xiaolu, who kept poking around in his pocket.
"What does it do? Do you listen to me or do you listen to it?" Lin Ling's surname is not Zhou, and he is not Zhou's pickpocket, and he has no habit of being mean to little brats.
Xia Mo walked to the shade in silence, raised his hand to wipe off his sweat.
Lin Ling glanced at Xia Mo's dry lips, took off the water bottle at his waist and handed it to Xia Mo: "Drink some water."
Xia Mo took the kettle and only took a sip. After moistening his smoldering throat, he returned the kettle to Lin Ling.
"There is still a water bottle in the yard, take it with you when you go out tomorrow." Lin Ling took the water bottle, and then sat in the shade under a big rock next to him, looking back at the ditches that had been dug for more than 2,000 meters at the end of Xia. No laziness, dig deeper than she said.
Xia Mo chose a seat far away from Lin Ling and sat down with his knees hugged, hiding his face in the worn-out hat.
In fact, the two were mutually beneficial, and they didn't have much trust in each other. They didn't say anything. After sitting for a while, they recovered some strength and continued digging ditches at the end of Xia.
Lin Ling also dug a part with a hoe. The two of them worked together and spent two days digging the ditch. After digging, the ditch was leveled to facilitate water flow.
"Next, you'll dig a ditch around the land in the village, and then slowly plow the land after digging." Lin Ling now wants to ensure that there is a ditch next to each mu of land, and she doesn't know Xia Mo will run away one day, so let Xia Mo dig the infrastructure ditch first, and it will be easier for her to farm alone in the future.
At the end of Xia, he didn't talk much. He did what Lin Ling ordered, rested when he was tired, and continued digging when he had strength. It took four days to dig the land in the village into matts one by one.
In the future, the ditch will be filled with water, and if there is a shortage of water, it is very convenient to scoop it up and pour it into the ground. Of course, the prerequisite is that the ditch can store water.
If there is cement and lime, it can be mixed to put a layer of anti-leakage on the ditch, but there is no such thing now, and we can only hope that the water can moisten the surrounding land.
"It's finally dug." Lin Ling breathed a sigh of relief looking at the dug ditch, and then turned over the ground to pump water.
After working with Lin Ling for five or six days, Xia Mo almost knew about Lin Ling's arrangement. Looking at the sky, it was still early: "Go digging now?"
"Take a rest and go back tomorrow." After working for six days in a row, Xia Mo's already thin man looked even thinner. Lin Ling was not a mean person, so he let him go back to rest.
"I don't need to rest." Xia Mo didn't go back to rest, but started to dig the ground.
Lin Ling said, "Don't worry."
Xia Mo raised her face and said stubbornly, "I can."
"That's up to you." Wouldn't it be good if someone rushed to work? Lin Ling ignored him, turned around and went to look at the potatoes in the vegetable field, watering them every evening, the branches and leaves grew very lush, and it looked like the soil was full of potatoes.
However, potatoes are only planted on more than half an acre of land. Now that there is an extra late summer, the potatoes in the field are a bit exhausted, and there will be no seeds if they eat any more. The potatoes are all ripened, and then a new batch is planted directly.
Lin Ling dug a nest of potatoes, then looked up at Xia Mo who was digging the ground, and decided to cook a cabbage soup to reward him tonight.
All the cabbages planted in the field have been wrapped with cabbage hearts. Because of the daily watering, they are very large, and each one is juicy and tender, and it looks delicious.
Lin Ling picked another cabbage and went home. When he walked to the door, he saw Xiaolu running down the stairs, and kept yelling: "It's broken, it's broken!"
Lin Ling's heart tightened suddenly: What's wrong?
