In fact, according to the current price of bracken, Liu Qingshan can continue to pick bracken and sell it.

However, if he continues to pick bracken and sell it, a volume of hundreds of catties like his will definitely affect the overall price of bracken. Perhaps, under the impact of his bracken, the price of bracken may fall below five yuan this year. As a result, many people like Agui's mother, who are looking forward to saving some money from bracken, will be disappointed and even hungry.

Moreover, there are not so many bracken in the mountains for him to pick.

After ten days of picking, the bracken in the mountains has almost been picked, and there are still some bracken in the mountains near the village.

However, there are not many of these bracken and they are scattered, which is suitable for a woman like Agui's mother, but not for Liu Qingshan.

If Liu Qingshan wants to pick a few hundred catties a day, it is estimated that he will have to walk many mountains to collect them.

And Agui's mother is different, she picks dozens of catties a day, and she can collect them by finding a few hills, which just takes some time, but she doesn't need to go back and forth to several mountains in a day.

Moreover, Liu Qingshan also thought about it, even if he didn't pick the bracken, there were still many things in the mountains that could be trumpeted for him, so let the bracken in the village be picked by others, and he would pick it here first this year.

Back home, Agui's mother hurriedly ate two bowls of rice.

I was in a hurry when I went out at noon today, and I didn't have time to eat lunch.

When selling bracken in the county seat, I asked the flour shop next to me, and the cheapest bowl of noodles cost seven yuan, which was too expensive, so I was not willing to eat, so I was hungry until now, and when I returned home, I hurriedly ate two bowls of rice to satisfy my hunger.

After eating, he went to cut the cow grass again.

Her life is hard and busy, unlike Liu Qingshan, when she returned home, she complained twice, and her mother brought him a bowl of hot tea.

"Na Na Na, you big landlord, you have to be served when you drink tea. Wu Cuimei put the hot tea on the table and gossiped, "Qingshan, didn't Agui's mother go with you to sell bracken today?

Liu Qingshan picked up the hot tea and glanced at his mother: "Why are you asking this?"

"It's just curious. Wu Cuimei laughed, "I'm just asking." ”

"If you want to know, you can ask her, I'm not from her, how do I know how much she sold for. Liu Qingshan said angrily, "Also, it has nothing to do with you how much money people make, don't inquire about these things." ”

Wu Cuimei pouted.

Liu Qingshan's eyes rolled, remembering the conversation between the old couple and Agui's mother when they were in the county seat, he immediately leaned out mysteriously, pulled his mother's clothes, and said: "Mom, when I was in the county seat today, I saw Agui's mother talking to an old couple who looked very rich. ”

"So what?" Wu Cuimei asked angrily.

"Mom, I just want to ask, do you know what relatives Agui's family has in the county. ”

Wu Cuimei shook off her son's hand and said, "I'm not from Agui's family, how do I know? Also, if others have rich relatives, what does it have to do with you? Don't inquire about other people's family affairs." ”

Hey!

Liu Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, you still hold a grudge." ”

"I don't hold grudges, what does it have to do with you?"

Gotta shut up.

Liu Qingshan closed his mouth in amusement, and then, while drinking tea, he planned the future.

If the bitter bamboo shoots are not dug and the bracken is not picked, then something else must be found.

And the thing that can be thought of right now seems to be digging up the azaleas in the tea woodland of Agui's mother's house.

Those azaleas are rare big azaleas, and if you dig them up at home, even if you can't sell them for money, you can definitely add a lot of color to your yard.

Moreover, if he didn't dig up those azaleas, Agui's mother would hack all those azaleas to death in order to make the tea tree grow better.

Therefore, even if it is to save those beautiful flowers from being killed, it should be carried out as soon as possible.

Early in the morning, Liu Qingshan had breakfast, and then took his tools to the tea woodland of Agui's mother's house.

Don't look at Gui's mother is just a woman's family, but her family's tea woodland is really well managed, there are no extra shrubs in the field, not to mention, and the tea trees are also more spiritual than one tree, at a glance, you know that she usually takes care of these tea trees.

The tea trees are very spiritual, and the tea field is also very large, but around this huge tea field, only some azaleas grow on the edge of the tea ground, and on both sides of the tea field, you can see the shadow of the azaleas except for the bamboo bushes that use as a dividing line to separate the ground from the ground.

Most of the rhododendrons in the mountains have a bad fate, either being cut down and burned as firewood, or being removed as debris that grabs nutrients and occupies the ground.

Therefore, with the opening of the land by the mountain people, the rhododendrons in the mountains gradually decreased.

I especially remember when I was a child, every year during the Qingming Festival, the mountains were full of rhododendrons, a bush here, a piece there, not to mention how spectacular.

Today, the azaleas are still there, but the number is far less than it was at the beginning, and the magnificent feeling of being in the mountains and seas as a child is like being in the country of flowers has disappeared without a trace.

Looking at these rhododendras scattered everywhere, Liu Qingshan regretted it.

Although he is not an environmental guardian or a botanist, everyone has a love for beauty, especially a beautiful girl like azalea, which makes people love it, how can they bear to watch them be cut down or burned.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan felt that digging these azaleas by himself was really to give these azaleas a way to live, if he didn't dig them, Agui's mother's woodcutter would definitely fall ruthlessly on the rhododendron pole.

Agui's mother is trapped in life, but she will not have so much compassion for the flowers and plants in the mountains like him.

Therefore, the only way to keep these rhododendrons alive is to dig them up and bring them home.

As soon as he said it, Liu Qingshan first used a woodcutter to clean up the weeds and shrubs next to the azaleas, and then used a shovel and hoe to dig the soil.

Rhododendron flowers are more delicate than cinnabar roots, so digging them takes longer and is more labor-intensive.

He had to draw a circle about thirty or forty centimeters in diameter centered on the main stem of the azalea, and then, using a tool, dig up all the soil in the circle along with the roots of the azalea.

In this way, the azaleas can be transplanted with their original soil, and they do not have to suffer the damage caused by transplanting the plants.

The wild rhododendrons in the mountains are very delicate, and under normal circumstances, it is difficult to survive when transplanted with flower buds, so it is necessary to dig up and transplant them together with the large soil balls attached to the roots.

The azalea is already very large, and with such a large soil ball, it weighs dozens of pounds.

Therefore, after Liu Qingshan dug up a rhododendron, he quickly used a cut snakeskin bag to cooperate with a rope to wrap the soil ball first to prevent the water from volatilizing and the soil from scattering. Once you have wrapped this one, you will dig another one and wrap it up again in the same way.

After wrapping the two azaleas, I grabbed one in one hand, took the two azaleas back to the pickup truck, and then returned to the tea woodland to continue digging.

In one morning, Liu Qingshan dug up almost all the azaleas around Agui's tea woodland.

By the time he brought the last two azaleas back to the pickup truck, there were nearly ten azaleas on board.

Because they all carry native soil balls, these azaleas can still maintain their original appearance and stand proudly under the warm spring sun, although they are all out of the old environment.

In order to avoid being too eye-catching, Liu Qingshan didn't have the heart to appreciate these rhododendrons, so he drove the car and hurried home.

Wu Cuimei saw that her son kept moving the stone flowers in the mountains to the yard, but she didn't feel much anymore, and she no longer made a fuss like before.

She is now accustomed to her son messing around, always doing something unexpected.

However, seeing that her son had moved back two stone flowers at a time, and had not finished moving back and forth several times, she couldn't help but say, "Qingshan, aren't you tired of moving like this?

Qingshan put down the azalea in his hand, kicked the big rooster that was about to come closer to look for flowers and ask willows, gasped, and said: "I want to use the car to pull it up directly, but the problem is that my pickup truck can't get up, the road in front of our yard is so small, not to mention that my pickup truck can't get up, even the mini cars driven by those old men in the town are difficult to come up." ”

No, although the yard is large, the steep ramp in front of the yard is small, and it is possible to pass motorcycles, but it is difficult to pass four wheels.

"I'm talking about a bucket truck, won't it be easier for you to pull it up with a bucket truck?" Wu Cuimei said, "You use a bucket truck to pull a few trees at a time, so that you can pull it back in two clicks, why run back and forth so many times." ”

Liu Qingshan was originally standing in the courtyard, looking at the steep and small ramp in a daze, and when he heard his mother's words, he said: "Mom, what do you know, these stone flowers are very squeamish, if they are piled up in the bucket truck, they will be crushed." ”

"Cut, isn't it just a few stone flowers, what's squeamish, there are a lot of them in the mountains. Wu Cuimei was disdainful.

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Mom, I don't fight with you, I still have to work." ”

"You're going to dig again? ”

"I won't dig it, but I'm going to plant all these flowers. Liu Qingshan entered the house and ate a few bowls of rice casually, and then he was about to start working again.

Although these so-called stone flowers, that is, rhododendrons, all carry native earth balls, there is no place to live, and for them, it is always not so good.

Moreover, the big rooster in the yard is eyeing each other, Liu Qingshan is really afraid that if he is not careful, this big rooster that should have gone into the stew pot will harm the azaleas he worked so hard to dig back.

However, at the moment, how to prepare a place for these azaleas to settle down has become a problem.

Rhododendrons of this size obviously can't be planted in those plastic gallon pots like the cinnabar roots did before.

Rhododendron is much larger than cinnabar root in height and crown width, and if it is planted in those small pots, it is not only top-heavy, but also not conducive to the growth of azaleas.

After thinking about it, Liu Qingshan decided to get some big pots for these azaleas.

However, the pots are not just to be made, you have to be prepared, so for now, you can only plant these azaleas in the ground with snakeskin bags for the time being, and then transplant them again when the pots are ready.

Because the soil ball at the root is still wrapped, the impact of the second transplant is not great.

After making up his mind, Liu Qingshan took advantage of the fact that the big rooster in the family went to the opposite grove again, so he hurriedly planted these azaleas temporarily in the flower shed where cinnabar roots were still planted.

After some moistening by the spring rain, the cinnabar roots in the shed are growing well, not only the leaves are shiny and shiny, but also a lot of new leaves are drawn.

At this time, with the addition of azaleas, the originally somewhat monotonous trellis is immediately colorful.

The red and green leaves of cinnabar roots, the small freshness of rhododendrons, the two seem to be close sisters, blowing in the breeze, gently swaying each other, as if beckoning, and like dancing a gentle dance.

They are gentle and elegant, fresh and smart, just by looking at them, they can give birth to infinitely beautiful reverie in people's hearts.

You may think that a few years later, you will take a cute little doll to shuttle between these plants and trees, and his little hands will keep pulling the delicate leaves of these flowers and trees, but his little hands are also so delicate, no matter how you pull them, you can't pull a complete leaf.

I will also think that after a few years, I will grow old, but I will still be accompanied by these flowers and trees, at every sunrise and sunset, and on every breezy and sunny day.

In the moment of trance, I seem to see my own childhood, the sunshine has a smell, the breeze has a color, and even the grass and trees in the mountains seem to be talking to their own childhood.

Liu Qingshan smiled unconsciously, and for a moment felt that people living in this world, more money and less money are really not that important, the important thing is to do things that make you happy.

In that case, let's buy some bigger pots for these flowers and trees that make him happy.

It's big, big, big enough to fill dozens or hundreds of pounds of soil.

In this way, these lovely azaleas, lovely cinnabar roots, can also grow wantonly.

Moreover, Liu Qingshan thought about it again, thinking that so many lovely azaleas in the mountains might be murdered in the future, so he was ruthless in his heart, gritted his teeth, and said secretly: Why don't I work harder and dig up all those poor azaleas, so that they may have a way to live.

No, although they are all fine now, who knows what will happen after that. Perhaps, those rhododendrons that are fine in the mountains now will be executed tomorrow for stealing a little sunlight or nutrients.
