Chapter 70: The Second Rain Came Suddenly

Huaguo news broadcasting is still the same as the same: foreign countries are in dire straits, and in China, except for the coastal bases, the situation is worrying, and other bases are thriving, and good news continues.

Xia Qing listened to Huaguo's news broadcast while washing dishes, returned to the living room and continued to listen to the news broadcast of Huicheng Base and the news facts of Huisan Base, and then came to the most critical link: weather forecast.

Farmers can be said to rely on the sky for food, so all the lords are very concerned about the weather conditions.

"According to the joint forecast of the Huiyi Base Meteorological Station and the Huisan Base Meteorological Observatory, most areas of the Huicheng base will usher in the second large-scale rain of this year the day after tomorrow." Xia Qing heard a chuckle in his heart, and immediately stopped, listening intently, "...... On May 21, there was rain in the safety zone of the Huisan base and the territory outside the area, the highest level was orange, and it lasted for two days, with a total rainfall of about 90 mm......"

The next broadcast of agricultural knowledge is also aimed at this rain, specifically introducing to the lords how to protect the crops that have been growing for two months in the upcoming rain.

Just like Xia Qing did with the sheep boss, the announcer of the third base of Hui first poured ecstasy soup on the lords, "The level, duration, and precipitation of this rain are not only lower than the previous one, but also the second one with the lowest threat in five years. As long as the lords take sufficient precautions and help the spring-sown crops survive this rain, they will surely get a good harvest. Below, let's take a look at the main ways crops cope with heavy rain......"

After recording the response to the radio introduction in detail in a small book, Xia Qing turned off the radio and turned on the walkie-talkie.

In the lord's channel, there is a heated discussion about the upcoming rain.

Qi Fu said eloquently, "The broadcast is right, this rain came at the right time." Our grain and vegetable seedlings, except for cotton, have passed their infancy, and the probability of evolution is much smaller. If the rain is half a month late, it will be just in time for the flowering period of wheat and mung beans, and the yield will have to be reduced by half. ”

Zhao Ze immediately followed, "Brother Qi is right, but do we really want to cover all the farmland with rainproof cloths?" Not to mention whether the rainproof cloth is enough or not, I won't have time to get it for two days. ”

Cong Qingwei scolded Zhao Ze, "You have the time to pick up stones to build landscapes, how can you not have time to build a rain shelter?" ”

Zhao Ze explained in a low voice, "I didn't specialize in landscape, I just picked up a few stones by the way when I was tired of work." Brother Qi, Viagra, can you cover all the fields? It's a few acres, how is it possible? ”

Kuang Qingwei didn't pay attention to Zhao Ze anymore, and asked Qi Fu for advice, "Old Qi, what are you going to do with pumpkin seedlings?" ”

Qi Fu replied, "I don't have enough rainproof cloth, so I plan to put the seedlings together, and I can't cover as much as I can, but I can't do anything if I can't cover them." Do you guys still have extra bamboo poles? I'd like to change it up. ”

With Qi Fu's cautious temper, it is impossible not to even prepare rainproof cloths, bamboo poles, and wood to cope with the rain. Xia Qing felt that he was saying this to gag the mouths of the other lords and make them not open their mouths to borrow supplies from him.

The channel was quiet for a while, and it was Tang Huai who took over, "You have the territory of the forest, and the bamboo poles and wood for building the rain shelter are not enough, and I don't have enough trees." Brother Feng in No. 1 is not, can you exchange me for some bamboo poles? ”

"Poof-" Xia Qing, who was drinking water, couldn't help but spray.

For a few bamboo poles, Tang Huai actually called his rival Brother Shang......

Are you still the Tang Huai who quarrels with Hu Zifeng every day for the sake of wolves? In order to protect the farmland, don't you want to save face?

Hu Zifeng said slowly, "No." ”

Tang Huai, who pinched his nose and whispered, didn't believe it, and his voice rose twenty-eight degrees, "Isn't there a bamboo forest on your No. 49 mountain, how can there be no bamboo?" ”

Hu Zifeng yawned, "You want the bamboo pole in Mountain 49?" Okay, pay the mountain fee and cut it yourself. ”

Tang Huai exploded and scolded, "Crazy, you wait for Lao Tzu, there is a time for you to beg Lao Tzu." ”

"Okay, I'll wait." Hu Zifeng yawned indifferently.

The lord's exchange ended in scolding, Xia Qing turned off the walkie-talkie, and soon received a message from Hu Zifeng: Does Miss Xia need a bamboo pole?

After Xia Qing replied that he was ready, he put away his mobile phone and began to put on protective clothing.

Qi Fu is right, the second rain is falling now, which is better than the second half of the month later, but she hopes that the rain can be five days late. Because her territory has not only cotton in the seedling stage, but also more seedling cuttings of sweet potato vines, and sixteen green sweet potato seedlings that have been cut in half and have not yet recovered.

What's more, yesterday's weather forecast is still no rain in five days, otherwise how would she choose to cut sweet potatoes at this juncture!

Where did this come from, a demonic wind with rain, isn't it specifically impossible to get along with her!

Xia Qing scolded and put on protective clothing and started work immediately.

It's going to rain, and she has enough materials, and of course she has to protect all the crops in the field.

The two planting areas on the hillside are the best, as long as the insect-proof net has been put on the rain cloth, wheat fields, mung beans, cotton, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins, all need to be built in the rainproof shelter.

The materials for building a rainproof shelter are sufficient, and the rainproof shelter will be built tomorrow, and this work will definitely be completed in one day. What makes Xia Qing most worried now is the sweet potato vine that has just been cut, and the sheep boss who may get out of control again in the rain.

The sweet potato field of cuttings must be protected, and so must the sheep boss.

With the rain ahead, every second counts. Xia Qing moved the rainproof cloth, bamboo chips, wooden sticks and steel bars to the yard, and repeatedly sprayed the sap of the camphor tree and the sap of the aconitum grass to prevent insects, and then sprayed Zhang San's deodorant to remove the odor.

The sheep boss hated the pungent smell of camphor sap, so he hid in the house and didn't come out, and Xia Qing was busy alone for most of the night.

Not only her, but the lords of the Hui San base who heard the announcement all night long.

At five o'clock the next morning, Xia Qing drove the micro-tiller out and hung up her self-made tractor bucket. The wheels of the tractor bucket are welded with steel bars removed from the deserted village building, and the body is made of steel bars as the skeleton and the wooden planks as the baffle. Xia Qing only used two trips to pull all the materials for building a rainproof shelter to the ground.

Then, Xia Qing unloaded the tractor bucket and hung a single ploughshare to plough the open space between the plots.

Xia Qing followed the method introduced in the radio to make the farmland into long strips, leaving enough gaps between the plots to facilitate the construction of rain shelters and digging drainage ditches.

Xia Qing inserted the thick bamboo pieces deeply into the ploughed soft soil and then stepped on them, and the corresponding positions on the other side of the farmland more than three meters wide were also inserted into the bamboo chips, and then the upper ends of the two corresponding thick bamboo pieces were tied together with ropes, and an arched rainproof shelter was built.
