"Can't waste it, take it all back."

"Then we will mix it when we have time tomorrow. It has been delayed for a day or two...even if it is cold, it will go bad, which may affect the fermentation effect."

"Okay, let's get started tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lu Miao felt relieved, put out the kerosene lamp, and finally went to sleep.

The next morning, Fu Jingyou obeyed and picked up fried cakes and bean dregs from the He family, and He Hongjin followed suit and brought rice husks.

The weather was too cold, so the pancakes were okay, but the bean dregs were not good. They were all a bit frozen, and it took a while just to smash them open with a shovel.

While Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin were busy, Lu Miao put his hands in his pockets and directed them from one side.

Her skin was white, and her face turned red instantly when the cold wind blew.

He Hongjin would tilt his head and look at her from time to time.

He Hongjin couldn't talk to Lu Miao, so he used a shovel to attack Fu Jingyou secretly and whispered:

"You asked your wife to come into the house. What are you doing standing here? Isn't it cold? Doesn't she have a baby in her belly and feel uncomfortable in her stomach?"

Fu Jingyou wanted to say it a long time ago, but Lu Miao refused.

And there is a very serious question.

"Uncle, I don't know how to make compost. She needs to keep an eye on it."

"What? You and your wife sleep on the same bed every day. Others have learned how to do it, but you haven't learned it yet?"

He Hongjin was shocked and a little angry.

"What do you do for food?!"

"..."

Fu Jingyou was embarrassed for a while.

How can he usually have time?

Besides, who is talking about this when sleeping under the quilt at night?
Fu Jingyou buried his head and patted the bean dregs vigorously:
"Uncle, let's do it quickly!"

"..."

He Hongjin saw that he was gradually becoming like Lu Miao, becoming a pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He puffed out his nose and glared at the young couple one by one.

As Fu Jingyou said, Lu Miao has never been afraid of anyone.

Seeing He Hongjin glaring at her, Lu Miao frowned in displeasure:
"Uncle, why are you staring at me? I didn't cause any trouble today!"

"..."

He Hongjin glared at her cross-eyed and annoyed, then lowered his head to work and stopped looking at her.

Lu Miao was confused and pursed her lips.

Fu Jingyou smiled and waved to her, "The dregs have been scattered, what should I do next?"

"When composting, you need to shovel all the snow off the ground, about three shovels of oil cakes, one shovel of bean dregs, and one shovel of rice husks."

Lu Miao thought for a while and added:
"This can't be done like normal compost, layer by layer, you have to mix it thoroughly..."

"It can't be too wet. It depends on the condition after mixing well, and then you can consider adding something to it."

Fu Jingyou said "Hey", and according to Lu Miao's instructions, he used firewood and straw sections to raise some height on the bottom floor.

Then, together with He Hongjin, we produced another piece of clean land on one side and added materials one shovel at a time according to the ratio of 3:1:1.

I just mixed all the ingredients together, knelt down and squeezed to feel the moisture, and then reported the situation to Lu Miao.

"The clumps cannot be separated, the bean dregs are too wet."

Lu Miao looked at it twice, nodded and pointed to the pile of broken carbon on the side of the house and said:
"Then add carbon residue, break some up and add it in, and mix it well, otherwise the water content will be too high and anaerobic reactions will easily occur."

He Hongjin doesn't understand what 'anaerobic reaction' is. Anyway, whatever Lu Miao says, let's do it!

The two of them worked hard for a while, and then added more than a dozen shovelfuls of broken carbon residue, so that the humidity was barely maintained at normal standards.

Lu Miao nodded, "That's enough."

Fu Jingyou and He Hongjin worked together to add shovelfuls of firewood to the small pile of firewood they had set up earlier.As he piled up waist-high piles of compost, he heard Lu Miao say that rain should not be allowed during the composting period, and he spread some straw on the surface.

He Hongjin repeatedly asked Fu Jingyou:

"You have to control yourself at home. If it snows and is covered with snow, remember to shake it off."

"Hey, I understand, uncle."

He Hongjin took the shovel and wanted to go back. Fu Jingyou left him to eat, but he waved his hand and was not willing to do it.

He only glanced at Lu Miao frequently, reminding him that there were few things going on these days, and asked Fu Jingyou to take good care of Lu Miao.

Of course Fu Jingyou understands.

Chen Guifen visited the village the day before to collect chickens and eggs. The news of Lu Miao's pregnancy basically spread throughout Dahe Village.

The female educated youths found it unbelievable. They felt that Lu Miao was still a little girl. How could she get pregnant so soon?

But when I think about it, they are already married, and pregnancy seems to be a matter of course.

A group of people wanted to visit Lu Miao, but they also heard from the team that the fetus was unstable in the first few months of pregnancy, and Lu Miao had already gone to the hospital once.

Afraid of disturbing Lu Miao's rest, Geng Xiaoyun and others gradually visited less frequently over the next period of time.

I have been to Ma Tian Zao twice.

In the middle of winter, I always walk in the mud with my feet and carry one or two turtles to the door.

Lu Miao was worried that she would freeze and lost his temper before stopping her from continuing to get turtles.

Lu Miao didn't know where she got the turtle from, but Fu Jingyou saw the mud on Ma Tianzao's feet and could tell it right away.

"The mountainous areas in the back mountains have been used to produce winter wheat. Some of the fertile fields used to grow rice at the foot of the mountain have been used to grow rapeseed, but some are still wet..."

"It has always been a paddy field before. There should be many soft-shell turtles crawling in and making nests in the mud."

When he said this, Lu Miao also felt that it made sense.

In later generations, didn’t many turtle-breeding operations take place in rice fields?

Not only soft-shelled turtles, but also rice fish, crucian carp, and small carp.

Lu Miao thought carefully.

There are not many fertile fields in Dahe Village, most of which are used to grow rice.

Soft-shelled turtles are currently less accepted. So, can we try to raise fish like rice fish?

At this time, no pesticides will be used in farming, which will not harm the fish. Moreover, if there are insects on the seedlings, the fish can still eat them.

The cake you eat after eating is also organic fertilizer...

Just as Lu Miao was thinking about what was feasible, Fu Jingyou said:

"Why didn't I think about the turtles hidden in those mud fields so early in the morning? It's a little late today. I'll make breakfast for you tomorrow morning. You can sleep a little longer, and I'll dig out two of them and bring them back."

"..."

Lu Miao was speechless, "Can we do it after we finish eating? In addition to the few sent by Tianjuo at home, there are still five or six more in the water tank behind!"

Besides, it’s winter, isn’t it cold when you step in the mud?

"If you must go, go to the town and buy a pair of rubber shoes."

"A pair of rubber shoes costs seven or eight dollars. What do you spend that money on? I'm hot and I'm not afraid of the cold."

"Then you sleep in the main room tonight."

"...I'm not afraid of the cold, but it's not like I'm not afraid of the cold. I only step on the mud a few times?"

Lu Miao pursed her lips and turned her head to think about something else and ignore him.

"I'm just saying, don't go, don't go! Who will suffer in this cold weather? Right?"

Fu Jingyou stopped talking at the right time, made her some sugar water, and coaxed her with a smile:

"We just replaced the carbon in the stove and the fire hasn't started yet. Is it a bit cold? Come on, have something warm to drink."
