I got home at noon, had a quick meal, and then went to the bamboo house at Yamanaka Lake, trimmed the fence outside the house, and scattered some flower seeds.

These are not rare flowers and plants planted by Chen Ling. They are just ordinary flowers. They are mainly used to decorate the bamboo house, so they can be planted casually.

There have been a lot of people visiting the mountain recently, and some of them wandered here to enjoy the bamboo forest and lake scenery, so he didn't use the spiritual water to induce birth.

I circled around the bamboo house, made a few small ditches, scattered the seeds, poured half a bucket of lake water, and then went down the mountain.

The sun was warming up in the afternoon. In the woods on the hillside, countless wild bees were flying in and out around several beehives, collecting fresh nectar. Chen Ling walked over with a bucket and saw five beehives scattered in the forest.

There are bees settled in all.

He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

After careful calculation, it has been almost a month since I put the beehive.

So I put down the bucket and carefully dispersed a beehive with the largest bee colony.

I opened it and took a look. Inside the beehive, there were contiguous honeycombs, stained with a thick layer of pollen, and densely packed bees crawling around on the pollen.

At this time, they realized that humans were invading the territory, and they all flew up with a "buzz", making a harsh buzzing sound, and rained down on Chen Ling.

"Go! Go! Go."

Chen Ling gently drove the beehive away twice and then placed the beehive again without caring.

Most people are afraid of these wild bees, but he is not afraid. As long as they land on him, they will be taken into the cave and cannot be stung at all.

Just release it when you're done.

"Flowers are in full bloom at this time, and these bees collect a lot of pollen, but you can't tell whether the honey production is high or low."

Chen Ling pondered for a moment and tried to use the method his father-in-law taught him. He squatted in front of the beehive and tapped the outside from top to bottom a few times to test the sound.

A dull voice means there is a layer of honey.

Empty sound means no honey.

The light sound between dull and empty sound is the spleen of the honeycomb that breeds young bees.

I tapped a few times tentatively.

Chen Ling shook his head and stood up: "No, it's just a lot of pollen, and there's no honey in it."

This is not just because these swarms of wild bees have been building their nests here for a short period of time.

It's also because of bee species.

After all, this is the virtue of bumblebees.

If you are interested in bees, in this season when the mountains and fields are full of flowers, you can collect honey every two or three days without any problem.

This is no exaggeration.

If we switch to bumble bees, they can be harvested twice a year in the north, which is too much. With normal local methods, we can only harvest them once, and there are no nectar sources in winter.

"The bees in my cave, guarding the flowers and plants in the cave, have not yet reached the level of harvesting honey every two days. There is a big gap between them and Italian bees."

There is nothing we can do about this. After the Dongtian mutation, the amount of honey produced has indeed increased, but they themselves also consume more.

If you want to cultivate an excellent bumble bee species comparable to Italian bees, even with the help of Dongtian, it will not be achieved overnight.

There is still a long way to go.

"However, they have been blooming frequently in the past two months. Not to mention there are so many wild flowers in the mountains, sophora flowers and rapeseed flowers are also in full bloom. There is no shortage of nectar sources at all. I estimate that around the Dragon Boat Festival, we can harvest nectar once.

."

Chen Ling pondered for a moment and looked at all five beehives, considering that the number of visitors to the farm has gradually decreased recently.

He moved all the beehives down and placed them one by one among the flowers in the orchard.

After doing this, I went back with the bucket.

At this time, Ruirui was still taking a nap, and the two sisters Wang Susu and their parents had nothing to do, and the four of them were pickling salted eggs in the yard.

I heard that Chen Ling had moved the beehives down, but he didn't say anything.

Wang Susu just asked Chen Ling: "Now that the grape trellis is set up, should we plant gourds? It would also be nice to put up a gourd trellis."

"Okay, then I can plant in the backyard. I just need a grape trellis in the front yard."

The young couple discussed and planned to plant the gourds in the kitchen in the backyard, next to the doghouse, and then set up a shelf for the gourds to climb on. It would provide shade for the dogs in the summer, and it would be covered with beautiful gourds in the fall.

Not only does it look good, it can also be eaten as a vegetable.

Ordered two gourds.

The two thought for a while, and then planted a few pumpkins and loofahs on the edge of the farm near the snake box.

These things grow very quickly and produce a lot of fruits. One or two plants can grow into a large area. These loofahs and pumpkins are very large, especially pumpkins. Planting one or two plants is enough for a family of three.

If you eat it from late summer to winter, if you don't feed it to poultry and livestock, there will often be leftovers.

After planting pumpkins and loofahs, I planted two rows of various beans along the base of the wall.

In this way, the young couple silently planted seeds and beans.

A few weasels came out of nowhere. Like a group of big yellow rats, they swished up to the two of them and nuzzled and sniffed. Seeing that the two of them had no time to pay attention to them, three little weasels appeared.

So they ran to the kennel and started playing around.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Pang were right next to them, with their tails raised, stretching out and basking in the sun.

These little things can be said to have the most mysterious whereabouts in the family, except for Er Baldy, the indistinct silly bird. On weekdays, there is no trace of them at all.

Several times, Chen Ling thought they were running around and caught in traps set by others.

However, we often inadvertently find them poking out from nowhere and acting coquettishly at their feet.

Anyway, I never go home from a serious place, and it's always unexpected.

The current situation is like this, Xiao Huang and Xiao Pang are basking in the warmth, the three little weasels and the cat and dog are running back and forth, chasing each other and playing with each other, the colorful birds are chirping, the whole farm is full of vitality, and

There is a warm atmosphere of life flowing quietly in it.

It’s really a peaceful time.

The men and women work together, so the work is not tiring. The young couple Chen Ling and Wang Susu work really fast. It only took half an hour to finish planting and watering the two long rows of beans under the wall.

After finishing the work, Chen Ling took advantage of the fact that her son was taking a nap and the two elders were not around. He chuckled and asked Wang Susu to sit down in the kitchen. He rubbed her back and shoulders, caressed her belly, and felt the little life growing there.

Wen Cunnui was a little confused for a while. When Wang Susu saw a pot of hot water boiling, she wanted Chen Ling to help her wash her hair. She took care of the baby all day long and couldn't stop after taking care of the baby. There were things to do everywhere in the village and on the farm.

She also has a restless temper and has little time to wash her hair all day long.

Washing hair is simple. Chen Ling has already practiced washing his wife's hair, rubbing her back and so on, and is now a proficient expert.

It's a pity that he hasn't taken a mandarin duck bath for a long time, and he still misses it.

While combing her hair, she whispered to Wang Susu. How could Wang Susu hear such words in broad daylight? Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she hit him with her small fist.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. You can do whatever you need to do. I'm not even showing off my pregnancy right now. I'm really afraid of you being reckless."

Wang Susu's face was full of resentment. She reached out to grab the comb from his hand and drive him out.

Chen Ling ducked over lightly and combed his wife's hair gently and gently: "Hey, it's okay. Don't worry. Do I seem like someone who doesn't know what's important?"

"...Then you said that just now." Wang Susu closed her eyes, enjoying his tenderness, but snorted softly, expressing disbelief.

"By the way, what did you say you were going to do when you were planting beans?"

"Oh, just now, I planned to go to the river beach to let the horses go. I also looked for wild duck eggs around the river beach. If there are any, I will bring them back and let the chickens hatch them."

Recently, the pheasants in the mountains have frequently mixed with our own chickens. Although they have not yet settled down, they are still close to each other.

Chen Ling, who has been paying attention to this matter, will naturally not forget his duck matchmaking plan, and it is imperative to find wild duck eggs.

"Is this okay?"

"Okay, even if you can't abduct the pheasants and wild ducks, you have to at least trick them and let them lay eggs here. When the eggshells are broken, the ducklings will hatch. We can't keep the big ones, and we can't keep the little ones."

Chen Ling said with confidence.

Wang Susu knew that he often sounded like he was talking big words, but in the end he could do it easily, so she smiled after hearing this.

There was also some anticipation in my heart.

After combing his wife's hair and being gentle for a while, Chen Ling put the bamboo basket on his back, called out to the little green horse that was sleeping in the sun on the grass slope, and headed for Laohe Bend.

As soon as I climbed over the steep slope and walked a short distance to the edge of Wang Lixian's wheat field, I saw Wang Zhenzhen rushing over on her little bicycle. The one who had never changed in the back seat was Xizi with braids.

At the same time that Chen Ling saw them, they also saw Chen Ling.

Wang Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and he shouted from afar: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the earth dragon has come out and blocked those outsiders in the farmland in the south. Come and see. I want to go home and call my sister and Ruirui."

go."
