Chapter 408 Xiaoman is in danger

The orioles dance in the forest, and the swallows whisper slowly by the pond.

In summer, as soon as the Xiaoman solar term passes, the weather suddenly becomes hotter.

Fortunately, the summer flowers are still there, there are many insects, and the fish and shrimp are very active.

What about Qingzhuang, egrets, water chickens, rails, oil gourds and other water birds?

As well as wild birds such as white-headed woodpeckers, yellow-eye eyebrows, white-eye eyebrows, three-eye eyebrows, fine linen poles, cuckoos, starlings, old gray-headed crows, magpies, turtle doves, old yellow quails, etc., began to appear in large numbers, flying from all over the country.

Came over.

There are birds everywhere in the fields, in the mountains and forests, near the reservoir and the old river bend...

There are even flocks of birds here on the farm, which are so dark when they fly, like a scene that blocks out the sky and the sun. They come and go, play and forage, it is unprecedentedly lively.

It's hard for Chen Ling to sleep in now.

Just after dawn, there were birds chirping in the trees, some with long notes and some with short notes, like a chorus of various birds.

The sound goes straight into people's ears, making it impossible to sleep again.

Every day there is no shortage of new birds competing with old birds for territory to build nests. Birds of different types often fly from the sky to the ground, and from the trees to the grass.

Some ferocious birds, such as magpies, cuckoos, crows, etc., are not satisfied with chasing the new birds away, and chase them for several miles in the sky, chirping and attacking violently while chasing them.

There are also some small birds that compete for bird's nests. They have feathers like sparrows and are only the size of a matchbox. But they are as stupid as sparrows and cannot build nests. They chirp in groups and look for a place to stay.

After finding a bird's nest, it is often chased far away in the sky by the little swallows.

There were also some birds that were injured in fights and were unable to fly, so they were all picked up and eaten by two pairs of mountain beaver families in the orchard.

Little kids are the happiest in this season.

Every day he would come to the farm, or go behind the Earth Temple, and hide his little body tightly in the tall and lush grass, or simply directly in the green wheat fields, squatting and guarding some fleshy birds.

The way they catch birdies is also more advanced than when Chen Ling and others were young.

When Chen Ling was a child, he still used all kinds of strange ground traps and sling traps to catch birds.

These little things all use clips made of wire.

First, go to the firewood and wheat straw piles to catch some bugs and put them into cans.

When catching birds, take out bugs from a place where birds often hang out, and stick the bugs on the mechanism of the trap, which is called "stick" in the local area.

It means a small stick that is propped up, a thin and straight hard wire that can move.

If a greedy bird eats the bait on the stick and pecks it down, the clamp will be triggered, snap it down hard and clamp it.

Each of them brought a few clips. They dug a small shallow hole under a tree or beside a ditch in a place with few human traces and a wide view, propped up the clips, and placed them in the pit.

Then bury it with fine soil so that only the insects are exposed.

When burying the clip, do not touch the "stick" with your hands.

Otherwise, the hand will be caught.

After placing the clip, hide and squat quietly.

As soon as the birds fly over, they suddenly jump out of the grass and blast the birds towards the place where the clips are buried...

That guy, each little kid can catch a bunch of birds in half a day.

Wear it on your body every day and show off around the village.

Wang Zhenzhen also runs out to catch birds after school every day.

She is not greedy, and the bird she catches is not for herself to eat, but just for fun.

After catching it, he fed it to Erbaldi and the little tabby cat.

Sometimes they are given to other little dolls, and after giving them, they are asked to help catch bugs.

When I get back, I feed her little crows and little cuckoos.

There are more birds.

Not only are the little ones happy, but the cats and dogs at home also benefit from it.

Even the weasel family, which often wanders away from home, recently ran back.

I would walk in the orchard every day, and if I saw the opportunity, I would catch some birds and give them teeth as a sacrifice.

This little day is really beautiful.

"Hey, dad, mom, brother-in-law, come back soon for breakfast."

Early in the morning, Chen Ling and his two elders were busy watering the wheat in the wheat field. They had been busy for two hours from dawn to now. Wang Susu had already prepared breakfast.

Seeing that the sun was rising and the temperature was getting higher, Wang Zhenzhen quickly asked them to call them home for dinner.

"I know, let's go back now. You and your sister can eat first."

Seeing Wang Zhenzhen standing on the field ridge outside the orchard and shouting in this direction, and Ruirui lying on Heiwa and also yelling, Chen Ling added: "Watch Ruirui, don't let him command the dogs."

run."

Then Wang Cunye and he walked out of the wheat field carrying shovels, wearing rain boots, and stepping on the muddy ground.

After Xiaoman passed, the temperature rose rapidly.

The wheat still needs to be watered again.

Even though Chen Ling's wheat is very strong, resistant and free from pests and diseases, it still needs to be irrigated again.

During the Xiaoman solar term, the wheat ears begin to plump but are not yet mature, so it is called "Xiaoman".

"Xiao Man, Xiao Man, Mai is in danger."

The so-called "first risk" means that wheat has just entered the milk-ripening stage in this season and is very vulnerable to dry heat, which will lead to insufficient grain filling, dry grains and reduced yields.

At this time, it is very important to irrigate the wheat again and water it again to prevent dry and heat attacks.

"Brother-in-law, you heard that the Jukun family's cow also became violent yesterday. It gave the old man a long gash on his leg and a lot of blood..."

Wang Zhenzhen broke open the steamed buns and added some pickles and refreshing side dishes in the middle. While eating, he shook his head and said: "Er Mao Donkey's little stubborn cow used the method taught by his brother-in-law and became very well-behaved in just two days."

Now. Now the two donkeys are leading it, and it can go wherever it wants. I took Xizi through his door, and he even grabbed a handful of candy balls for me to eat, saying that brother-in-law, you are very capable."

Wang Cunye said with a smile: "Ang, he didn't ask the right person when he asked your brother-in-law."

Then he said to Chen Ling: "There are many families buying cattle in the village now. They have bought all the good and bad ones. If you didn't know that everything has been busy recently, and everyone has to water the wheat, no one will come to call you."

, otherwise you see, someone comes to your door every three days, asking you to help train the cow."

Gao Xiulan also said: "Many young people have never raised livestock. They bought bad cows and they don't know how to train them when they come back. It's all because you raised cows and you just rushed to get rich."

Chen Ling and Wang Susu looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads, saying nothing.

If the villagers are willing to learn, they can follow and they don't care.

"Dad, Mom, you eat more, and eat more eggs. Our eggs will feed our people."

Wang Susu peeled the eggs for the two of them and handed them to them.

When Wang Zhenzhen saw this, he was not to be outdone, "Dad, I'm going to rub your legs. You have to work watering the wheat fields all day long. My brother-in-law is really doing it for you even though he knows your legs are not good."

Wang Cunye held the egg in one hand, put his other hand on her forehead and gave her a headache: "You are the only one who can say, rub my legs just for me, what do you want your brother-in-law to do."

Hearing this, Chen Ling cast a sidelong glance at the little girl: "Since the eldest brother and the second brother are coming for the Dragon Boat Festival, someone will support you, right?"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

Wang Zhenzhen stuck out his tongue and made a face at him.

Ruirui, who was guarding two big dogs playing next to her, also followed suit and made a slight face.

Gao Xiulan and Wang Susu couldn't help laughing.

Gao Xiulan pulled her little daughter's head over and said, "You are such a naughty girl. She is still so naughty. Let Ruirui follow your example."

Then he said to Chen Ling: "You and Su Su can't spoil her all the time. She is too old to be sensible. If you continue to do this, she won't be allowed to ride the bicycle."

Chen Ling said quickly: "It's okay, mother, you are really just teasing me. Is there anything we can't say as a family?"

Actually, in the eyes of Wang Zhenzhen, his brother-in-law is more like an older brother than Wang Qingwen and Wang Qingzhong when they get along with each other.

He did treat his sister-in-law as a younger sister.

If you don't have a sister for two lifetimes, it's not like you're so precious.

Buy whatever you want and take it with you wherever you want to go.

Wang Zhenzhen was naturally very casual in front of him and dared to say anything.

Chen Ling likes to tease little girls, and if they get mad at her, she will dare to fight with him in front of her parents.

He was also merciless when it came to choreographing.

The second elder always said that she was ignorant, but in fact, in the little girl's heart, this was a sign of intimacy.

However, this girl has always been heartless. She pretended not to hear what her parents said and continued to roll around coquettishly in Gao Xiulan's arms, covering her ears.
