"In that picturesque place, there is a beautiful home, she is the magical second home, spreading the fragrance of love..." Affectionate and loud singing from the chicken coop, "Hey, don't fight between you two, it's you two, don't fight." It turned out that it was the chicken father singing to the chicken and duck babies, and the naughty babies would occasionally be criticized by the dad who loved them.
Since Ducks came to our big family, they stopped production after laying eight eggs.Brother Guang inquired about duck raising knowledge on the Internet and asked experts for experience. He found that ducks were particularly timid and afraid of living in a new place. In order to make them adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, Brother Guang spent more time to stay with the ducks everyday, studying their eating habits and schedule, and feeding them regularly and scientifically every day. After a few days, they finally started laying eggs again, at first five eggs a day, and later eight, nine, eleven. . . It is so surprising. We didn't expect that the wish of eggs being self-sufficient would become reality so soon.Brother Guang is so amazing! We couldn't finish eating so many eggs, 50 duck eggs were given to the Abbot. When we carried bags of heavy duck eggs to Abbot, Brother Guang must be very happy and proud!
These days, the Abbot led the workers to continue to build the houses. Huiyi suggested that we spend more time helping Abbot build the house. Perhaps because of our high work efficiency, Abbot also likes to ask us to help, move tiles, build roads, unload soil to raise the terrain inside and outside the house.Doing simple physical work, everyone sweats a lot, and makes a lot of laughter as well.
When we didn't help on the construction site , we went to pick up cow dung, collect grass，make compost, move vegetable seedlings to the fields. The soil here is clay, Yang Le and Qian Zi have discussed many times about how to improve clay, and we also learned an method from our friend Gei, an organic planting expert.Yang Le decided to use the method taught by Gei to shovel the clay and mix well with a large amount of organic matter(leaves and rice skins) on the small vegetable plot in front of the kitchen, and then cover the field with the straw, spray liquid fertilizer and em liquid into the soil. After seven days,we can plant vegetables on the soil and let the soil soften slowly. For the large vegetable plot behind the kitchen, Yang Le planed to dig out the clay at the place where we are going to plant seedlings and replace the original clay with the mixed soft soil.
No matter which method is used, the clay problem cannot be solved in a short while. We need to be patient,and let time witness everyone's efforts!
