Huo Jinli paused, and then said: "Yesterday, the temperature plummeted, and many of the saplings lost their leaves, and more than a dozen died directly. ”

Chi Taotao's heart ached: "It's okay, I guessed this result, it's a big deal to buy and replant." ”

Huo Jinli was silent and did not speak.

"You don't have to come back tomorrow night, where can you resist. Chi Taotao glanced at the orchard full of dead branches, and then took Huo Jinli's hand to drag him back.

At this glance, Chi Tao Tao could already judge the extent of the damage to his orchard.

These dead branches are small, and at first glance they are small saplings that have not grown into adulthood, and if they break some branches of the adult tree, there is no problem, and they can still keep their water to survive these cold times.

But the saplings didn't have time to grow other extra branches, so these branches were the main trunks of the saplings, and the main trunks were blown off, so you can imagine the fate of those saplings.

Chi Taotao closed her eyes and stopped looking, she did everything she had to do, and then she was left to fate.

The fruit farmer originally relied on the sky to eat, but he was too troubled by gains and losses, and after thinking about this, Chi Taotao took Huo Jinli home.

Don't worry too much about the orchard, but make some compensations.

Chi Taotao called Wu Qingling and collected all those branches, and those that still had vitality were replaced, and those that had no vitality buried the branches in the soil to add nutrients to the land.

Most of the branches have lost their vitality and can only be buried, and a small number can still be picked up, and they can't resist the colder and colder winds.

So Chi Taotao and Wu Qingling discussed putting these fruit seedlings in a big pot and then moving them to their own homes to raise.

Because the temperature inside is definitely much higher than outside, you can only feed these apple seedlings first.

Wu Qingling and Chi Taotao moved back and forth several times before moving seven or eight pots of apple seedlings home.

Finally, he re-tied the cotton wick under his body to the small saplings that were still strong, to ensure that the other saplings would not freeze to death, and only after making these pond peaches did he go home exhausted.

On the first day of the spring cold, Chi Tao Tao died more than a dozen small saplings, and a few were sent to his home for repair.

The next day, the temperature continued to fall, almost overtaking the coldest part of the winter, and worst of all, there was no snow yet.

On this day, Chi Taotao could only bury a dozen small saplings in the soil with red eyes.

On the third day, Nancheng University redistributed supplies, and Chi Taotao got a lot of materials because Jiang Zixi knew at least him.

With these resources, whether it is a small sapling or an adult tree, all of them can be equipped with tools to protect against the cold.

Therefore, the number of small saplings that died on this day was not much, most of them were blown off by the howling cold wind, and these small saplings could be reconnected, and the loss to Chi Tao Tao became a lot less.

The sad face of the past few days has been swept away, and finally ushered in good news, after nearly half of the apple seedlings were destroyed, things began to improve.

The first thing was that it snowed.

Under the pressure of three days of low temperature, a snowflake slowly fell on Chi Taotao's face.

More and more snow fell, and in a short time the apple orchard was covered all over the place.

Chi Momo cried with joy, and finally saved the remaining saplings.

This terrible spring cold is about to pass!

As Chi Momo expected, this sudden spring cold began to gradually restrain her temper after the snow.

The low temperature began to rise, slowly returning to freezing, and the thick layer of snow was slowly melting.

The spring cold ended so plainly, and Chi Tao Tao didn't dare to easily pull off the measures to prevent the cold.

After waiting for a week or so, the temperature has risen steadily every day, and then it has remained stable at about 25 degrees.

May is about to pass, and summer is about to be ushered in, so Chi Taotao is a little relieved and withdraws those measures.

Chi Taotao, Wu Qingling, Aunt Liu and others cleaned up the mess of the orchard, and the rows of apple trees that were originally full are now more than half empty, and they look quite desolate.

But fortunately, there is an advantage that after the baptism of this spring cold, the surviving saplings are extremely tough, and Chi Taotao thinks that they must grow very quickly in summer.

All the losses are on the side of the saplings, like the mature trees that have already grown have their own certain resistance and adjustment ability, and only one or two fruit trees of all the adult trees have been frozen down.

The specific reason is that Chi Tao Tao has been investigated, because the previous insect plague, a few fruit trees have been eaten almost, and they themselves have not lived long, and naturally they have lost their ability to keep out the cold.

In general, the losses before and after the orchard add up to at least tens of thousands of yuan.

At the same time as losing this money, Chi Taotao had to pay more money to make up for the location of those saplings, so as not to waste land.

When Chi Taotao was eating at home, she shook her head and sighed while thinking: "How can I still have money now!"

As soon as the words fell, I looked up and found three pairs of eyes looking directly at Chi Taotao, Huo Jinli and Xiang Nan were worthy of being brother and sister, and asked with a tacit understanding: "Xiao Tao (sister-in-law), are you short of money?"

Chi Taotao blinked her sour eyes because she had stayed up late late: "Yes, you also know about the orchard, if I want to replant apple seedlings, I have to go outside to buy them, but now that the spring cold has just passed, whether they have money or not, whether they have goods is the point." ”

Huo Jinli pulled the last few bites of rice, and then said, "What will happen if you make up the apple seedlings later?"

"It's too late to see how late it is, and now it's still ready to ripen with the other apple trees, so you don't have to spend a lot of effort looking after them alone. Chi Taotao tapped her fingers on the table, her mind calculating the apple ripening cycle.

"Why is my sister-in-law so troublesome, wouldn't it be good to buy the grown apple trees directly. Xiang Nan didn't understand the apple orchard, so he could say this fearlessly.

Chi Taotao shook her head with a smile: "The money for an adult tree can be used to buy five saplings, and the adult trees have been growing in a certain area for a while. ”

"Trees themselves have habits, and they take a long time to get used to when they suddenly change land, and they don't bear fruit right away. ”

Chi Taotao patiently said to Xiang Nan, and Xiang Nan was surprised again and again: "It turns out that trees also have habits." ”

As soon as she talked about her work, Chi Taotao became energetic, and she continued to instill this knowledge in Nan.

Xiang Nan and Yan Dong listened curiously with a bowl and occasionally asked a question or two.

Because of this, Chi Taotao's troubles were also put aside for a short time.

Several people finished the meal unsatisfied, especially Xiang Nan and Yan Dong were reluctant to leave.

When Chi Momo finished eating and went to wash the dishes, she was also thinking carefully about whether to buy new saplings to fill the half of the land.

After considering all aspects, Chi Taotao sighed and decided to wait until the money was earned back before planting the apple seedlings back.

It took about two or three months before I could afford to buy apple seedlings again.

Now that the decision has been made, Chi Taotao is not as troubled as she was before, and she agreed to her decision after talking to a major shareholder like Wu Qingling.

So they decided to vacate that half of the land first.

Time flies quickly, leaving May and stepping into summer seems to be a matter of moments, summer is here, and Huo Jinli is going to work in the city.

Huo Jinli has been at home for a long time, and if he doesn't go to work, he will be scolded by his leader.

Chi Taotao couldn't suppress her thoughts, afraid that she would beg Huo Jinli to let him stay, so she could only tell herself.

Finally, on the day when Huo Jinli left, Huo Jinli held something in his hand and turned his head to quietly glance at Chi Taotao.

Chi Taotao held back her tears and showed a gentle smile: "Let's go, it will take so long this time, but it's okay, I'll go to see you, and I'll come back when you have time." ”

Huo Jinli also smiled: "You remember the phone number of the unit clearly, if you have something to call me, I will definitely dare to come back as soon as possible." ”

"I know, I know, let's go, or I won't be able to catch up. Chi Taotao was about to hold back her tears and hurriedly urged.

Huo Jinli sighed, put down the luggage in his hand and walked towards Chi Taotao.

"Brother Jinli?" Chi Taotao's heart jumped, and the next second she was hugged into Huo Jinli's broad arms.

"Wait for me, I'll take you to the city soon, and then your orchard will be on the market. Huo Jinli leaned his head against Chi Taotao's head and said in a sullen tone.

"I will. Finally, Huo Jinli concluded.

Chi Taotao's eyes were slightly red, and she patted Huo Jinli's shoulder: "I believe in you, I'm waiting for you to pick me up, and you can rest assured that when you come back, our orchard will definitely become better." ”

The two hugged each other for a long time, and this departure represented a new life.

After Huo Jinli left, Chi Taotao's life actually didn't change much.

Two points and one line, the orchard runs at both ends of the house, but there is no personal personal companionship, and Chi Taotao always feels that there is something missing.

Chi Qiushan and Wang Chunling watched Chi Yandong a few times later, I don't know if it was because Chi Qiushan went back and said something to Wang Chunling, and Wang Chunling didn't make noise when she came for the second time.

Wang Chunling could see that she wanted to save her relationship with Chi Yandong, but she wanted to save face, even if it was for Chi Yandong's good, she was right, you have to listen to me.

This kind of attitude doesn't talk about Chi Yandong, even Chi Taotao feels unhappy, so despite how hard Wang Chunling tries to maintain her relationship, Chi Yandong still ignores Wang Chunling.

Chi Taotao didn't want Wang Chunling and Chi Yandong to start over, but Wang Chunling's character wanted to make Chi Yandong accept it, and I was afraid that there would be some boiling.

And then there is the recent situation of Chi Yandong, she doesn't need to say much in terms of learning, a genius is a genius, and Chi Taotao herself has nothing to teach her.

The accumulation of Chinese and English reading has surpassed that of Xiang Nan, if it weren't for her lack of talking, her spoken English would have been very good.
