I couldn't see the sun this morning, it was a bit stuffy.

It's almost noon now, and the temperature is even hotter. Cloudy, but not yet cloudy......

Ye Mo paid attention to the weather station in Dongmen Town, and the weather station said that there was a heavy rainstorm this evening.

Although their watermelon field has a ditch, the ditch is not deep, and the terrain here is relatively low, so if it rains heavily, it is easy to accumulate water.

"Dad." Ye Mo took out the phone and called his father-in-law.

"Huh?"

"I'm here in Da Xian, there may be a heavy rainstorm tonight, the drainage of the melon field here is not very good, you will drive the tractor over for a while, hang up the ditch and hang the external hang-up machine, I will help open the field ditch deeper." Ye Mo said.

"Well, okay...... Come right here. There's also a walk-behind tractor, so let's get it together? ”

"Get it." Ye Mo said.

There are 4 watermelon fields on this side, and the height is staggered.

There were two rains in May, with loud thunder and little rain...... Before the rainy season officially begins, there will be a heavy rainstorm on their side.

Ye Mo waited here for a while, and Lin Shan drove the orchard transport truck to send the machine over. As for the tractor, Lin Xiaomian drove over.

A small tractor with 32 horsepower was only bought back for about a week

Ye Mo used to help assemble the ditcher......

"It's going to rain heavily today?" Lin Shan said.

"That's what the weather forecast says." Ye Mo said: "There is no deep ditch in the melon field here in Da Xian, I will help to open a deep ditch around the melon field." ”

"Hmm." Lin Shan nodded.

Deep ditches are not only for drainage. In the future, you can also judge whether you need to water the watermelon through the deep ditch......

The deep trench can store some water to ensure the moisture of the soil around the melon vine.

Watermelon, which is equivalent to drought, is more afraid of waterlogging.

If you want to store water in the watermelon field, you can only use deep furrows. The amount of water stored should not be too much......

Specifically, the soil around the melon vine maintains a certain humidity. This humidity, judge for yourself.

The cultivation here is also a super large watermelon, which gives a lot of organic fertilizer.

Ye Mo drove the excavator down, and along the edge of the melon field, he opened a deep trench with a width of 27 centimeters and a depth of nearly 1 meter.

This side is solid soil, not sandy soil. It is also convenient to open a deep ditch......

Lin Shan used a hand-held tractor to open a longitudinal ditch in the melon field.

It's almost noon.

Ye Mo and they worked in the field for a while, and Da Xian called them over to eat.

Lunch was made by Lin Xiaomian and Xiaomian's mother, at Da Xian's house.

Niu Youde took out a beer: "Your work on the mountain has been straightened out, right?" ”

"Straightened out." Lin Shan smiled and said, "Now...... The commuting time is basically fixed, and there is not much overtime. ”

Niu Youde smiled: "That's good, don't delay you because of things on my side." ”

"No delay...... Ye Mo said: "We said before that we came here to open a deep ditch for your melon fields, but there are too many trivial things on my side, so I forgot about it." ”

"I saw someone surveying the land on the gravel slope a few days ago, and the land over there was contracted?"

"It's contracted, it's 89 acres in total." Niu Youde said.

"So little?" Ye Mo said.

"The 89 acres of land are all level. Shallow hills and hillsides cannot be cultivated...... "Cattle have virtue."

"Our family contracted 20 acres. Your second uncle's house is 20 acres, and Tang Sui's family is also 20 acres. The remaining 29 acres are contracted by Chen Chen and his family...... "Xiao Mian Da Xian said with a smile: "Our family's 20 acres of land, we are also going to divide 10 acres for the second family to plant." ”

The two of them managed 20 acres of melon fields, which was really tiring, but it was not incomplete.

It's like the melon field on Ye Mo's side, count it down...... That is, it is equivalent to managing ten acres per person.

"Da Xian, 10 acres of land, you can make a greenhouse." Lin Xiaomian said: "What Ye Mo said, the risk of managing watermelons in the greenhouse is much smaller. Moreover, the greenhouse can ensure that the watermelon matures early, and the seedlings are not afraid of frostbite. ”

"We're thinking about it too." Niu Youde said: "Let's see how the harvest of the watermelons in the field is, and then let's talk about it." Ten acres of greenhouses require a lot of investment, and we have never planted watermelons before......"

"Take your time." Lin Shan said with a smile.

Eaten.

It seemed to be getting darker outside, and it felt like a rainstorm was coming.

Ye Mo and the others didn't go back to rest, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurried to the melon field and continued to dig the ditch.

Lin Xiaomian took a kitchen knife and went to the banana forest with her mother and cut down two banana trees...... I put the bananas back on the tree.

The banana seedlings that Ye Mo bought last year, planted on the edge of the reservoir, have also grown, and more than a dozen are blooming, and it is still very early to pick bananas.

Afternoon.

It was overcast and very hot.

Ye Mo sat on the tractor and ditched, all covered in sweat.

Niu Youde and Lin Shan exchanged tractors......

Da Xian and Xiao Mian's mother dig up the soil with a hoe.

A group of people are in full swing.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the muffled thunder was already faintly heard.

There are still the last two fields, which add up to more than one acre, Ye Mo adjusted the ditching machine, only about half a meter open, and accelerated the speed.

Lin Shan, too, drain the water first. As for the rest, don't worry so much about it yet.

The thunder is getting louder.

After four o'clock, the ditch had not yet been completed, and it rained in the sky. With the sound of thunder, it looks like it's going to be dark.

Only one last bit remains. There must be no problem with the drainage of the melon field. After a torrential rainstorm, several people were soon drenched in soup......

"Okay, okay, don't get it. Went back. Niu Youde shouted.

"It's a day." Lin Shan also shouted.

Ye Mo put away the ditcher. Mommy Xiaomian, they came over and dug up some dirt......

"Dad, Mom, I'll go back first." Ye Mo said.

"Okay." Lin Shan responded.

"Come over for dinner in the evening," Da Ma shouted.

"Forget it. This rain will definitely not stop in the evening...... That's it. Ye Mo said.

"It's not too late to come, such a big fish." Lin Shan also said.

"Okay, come over for dinner another day."

"Hahaha...... We're talking about that. Hurry up, pack your things and go back. ”

The rain was heavy and pouring.

Ye Mo drove the tractor back to the mountain, and the pouring rain had already blocked his vision.

Entering the big warehouse, Ye Mo touched his eyes, only to see Lin Xiaomian in the warehouse.

Ye Mo drove the tractor to the corner and looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Why did you run over?" ”

"I'll pick you up." Lin Xiaomian said: "What about Mom and Dad? ”

"In the back." Ye Mo was about to pinch Lin Xiaomian's face, and his parents came in in with an orchard transport truck.

Hongqi SUV was in the warehouse, everyone shook the water on their bodies and sat in the car......

"We're not going to get the car dirty." Xiao Mian's mother said.

"If it's dirty, it's dirty, call Lin Xiaomian to wash." Ye Mo said with a smile.

Lin Xiaomian made a very fierce grimace at Ye Mo.
