Chi Taotao saw that Huo Xiangnan's face was red, and she was angry at Huo Dashan's old-fashionedness in her heart.

"It's not like words, no matter what Xiang Nan says, she is also our daughter, even if you don't mind, she should also have a face, are you embarrassed to stay in someone else's house all the time Huo Xiangnan!" Huo Dashan said in a light tone Every word poked Huo Xiangnan's heart.

"Why do you really plan to rely on your eldest brother and sister-in-law for the rest of your life?" Huo Dashan's last question ignited Huo Xiangnan.

"I'll pay it back! I will work hard to make money and return it to my sister-in-law after I graduate!" Huo Xiangnan's eyes were slightly red, and tears rolled in his eyes.

"Put my luggage back for me. Huo Dashan ignored Huo Xiangnan's words at all, and directly commanded: "Go back to your own room for me." ”

"Dad, what you said is too much!" Chi Taotao looked at Huo Xiangnan's stubborn back and felt very distressed, Xiang Nan has always been very well-behaved, and many times he can find a Chi Taotao feeling than Huo Jinli.

In Chi Taotao's heart, Huo Xiangnan is a sister who is closer than her own sister, and her status is higher than that of the Huo family, so naturally she can't stand Huo Dashan scolding Huo Xiangnan like this!

"Jinli family, don't worry too wide, don't you want to go back, don't take Xiang Nan with you, she is the daughter of my old Huo family after all. Huo Dashan's words were not light or heavy, and Chi Taotao was blocked back.

Wang Dani was happy when she saw Chi Tao Tao eating blockage, and thought that Lao Huo was still very powerful, and she would cure Chi Tao Tao to death.

"You go now, we won't stop you. Wang Dani made way for Chi Taotao to leave.

But Chi Taotao doesn't want to go alone now, Wang Dani and Huo Jinli don't know how to treat Huo Xiangnan at home, what should they do if they just walk to Nan?

"Why don't you go?" Wang Dani urged.

Chi Taotao stood in place for a while, all kinds of thoughts were surging in her head, and finally she let go of her suitcase and came to Huo Xiangnan's room.

"Open the door to Nan, I am my sister-in-law, I have a few words to say to you. Chi Momo knocked on the door.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay, you can say it. Huo Xiangnan didn't open the door, she spoke through the door panel after a while, and her voice was still a little crying.

"Xiang Nan, sister-in-law didn't think you were troublesome. Chi Taotao sighed: "I really treat you as a sister, don't be affected by Dad's words." ”

Huo Xiangnan nodded in the door, she knew very well who was sincere to herself and who was not, she just felt guilty, guilty that she was not strong enough, and that she had to be scolded and targeted by her sister-in-law.

It was only after doing this action that Huo Xiangnan was shocked to realize that Chi Taotao couldn't see himself nodding at all: "Sister-in-law, I know everything, you and your eldest brother are really good people to me, it's okay sister-in-law, let's go, I've spent more than ten years here before, I'm fine." ”

Chi Taotao was silent for a while, sometimes she really felt sorry for Huo Xiangnan's sensibility, but what could she do? After all, she was just Xiang Nan's sister-in-law, and she couldn't change anything at all.

"Xiang Nan, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, tell your sister-in-law, sister-in-law is not afraid of trouble, don't resist by yourself, if you have the opportunity...... I'll take you home. Chi Taotao felt very uncomfortable.

Huo Xiangnan was already crying on the other end of the door: "Thank you, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"Chi Taotao, you still want to bewitch Xiang Nan, hurry up and get out of me, do you hear!" Wang Dani saw that Chi Taotao had been in it for so long and left, and rushed in to call someone.

"Sister-in-law, let's go. Wang Dani's loud voice Huo Xiangnan naturally heard it, she didn't want Chi Taotao to be scolded, so she hurriedly called.

Chi Taotao struggled for a while before reluctantly leaving the Huo family.

Returning to his home, Chi Taotao looked at the empty home, and felt sad suddenly, Huo Jinli had already gone out to work hard in order to allow the two couples and Huo Xiangnan to live in the big city as soon as possible.

Originally, there should be Huo Xiangnan, a small interpretation flower at home, to chat with Chi Taotao to relieve boredom, and occasionally joke about which boy Huo Xiangnan likes, so that she can start as soon as possible, but now she is the only one left.

All kinds of emotions eventually turn into loneliness and longing.

It turned out that it was so difficult when I was alone, and this year was a mess.

A month later, Chi Tao Tao came to his apple orchard a little haggard, and now is the coldest time, and under normal circumstances, snow is not the coldest time in winter.

The coldest time is when spring is approaching, and a thick layer of snow begins to melt gradually, and that time is the coldest.

Chi Taotao wrapped herself like a ball, and still felt a trace of cold air cutting her joints, so cold that it hurt.

She tugged on her thick winter coat and went to the apple orchard to check the status of each apple tree.

Fortunately, these apple trees look healthy, and what is even more surprising is that Chi Taotao actually found a few apple trees in the experimental corner of the orchard that have pulled out a little bit of new green, which looks very cute and vibrant.

It worked!

Chi Tao Tao was close to the apple trees, which were not as tall as the other apple trees, because they were not very old.

However, such a size can also bear fruit, depending on how much fruit can be produced in July and August, and the yield is high.

Professor Li had consulted Chi Tao Tao a few days ago and would bring some of his students over to study these apple trees, and if he was lucky, this small apple orchard would be expropriated for practical fruit.

Of course, it's not free, it's all paid, and the university laboratory where Professor Li is staying has already released a request, and if this orchard is expropriated for experimental fruit, no matter what science and technology Chi Tao Tao can use, it can be used for free.

But the fruits of the expropriated orchards cannot be sold, but the pond peach is not at a loss, because no matter how much land is expropriated, the university laboratory will compensate for the amount of land and apple seedlings.

said that it was the requisition of the orchard, but in fact, it was the requisition of those apple trees for experiments, and the pond peach may be considered profitable.

Chi Tao Tao has been observing the fruit trees that grow by the sticky skin grafting method, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes.

Unlike the fruit trees that grew by cutting and grafting, the fruit trees grafted with sticky bark have grown into a single tree now, just like they were originally a tree, and they are very strong.

The grafted fruit trees made by ordinary methods want to make two trees grow together for a longer time, half a year or even a year.

From the point of view of time, sticky skin grafting saves a lot, Chi Taotao thought with her chin in her hands.

Now his orchard is developing very well, and in addition to the cost, he has made a profit of more than 500 yuan in a year, and he will only make more profits in the future, as long as he guards this orchard, he will become a little rich woman sooner or later.

When the time comes, he will go to the city with Brother Jinli to build a big house, and then take Xiang Nan to live.

Chi Tao Tao feels happy just thinking about it, and the bitterness of this month has been washed away by the thriving orchard.

In the afternoon, Professor Li took his students to see the orchard, and three of them came to the experimental corner to observe, nodding frequently.

"Professor Li, who are they?" Chi Taotao saw that the three people were very angry, so she pulled Professor Li aside and asked when no one was paying attention.

Professor Li was in a good mood because the fruit trees grafted with sticky skin had successfully survived the winter, and he was smiling when he talked to Chi Taotao: "Those three people are professors from Nancheng University, and the forestry planting of our school is related to some experiments in their school. ”

Chi Taotao nodded with some surprise, it turned out to be Nancheng University, that university is famous far and wide, and the students who came out of it were robbed by every industry.

There will be a professor from Nancheng University!

Chi Taotao feels that this is an opportunity, if she can get in touch with the planting industry major of Nancheng University, then she will also have a strong backstage.

Chi Taotao knocked on the side and asked Professor Li for the names and information of the three professors of Nancheng University.

Professor Li is originally a good person, how can he not know what Chi Taotao thinks, and he is willing to help with this.

So Professor Li happily brought Chi Taotao to the three professors of Nancheng University.

The professor in the lead looked unexpectedly young and handsome, making people unthinkable that such a person would actually be a professor at Nancheng University, and even Chi Taotao, an old aunt who already had a handsome husband, was in a trance for a moment.

And I always feel that this young professor is inexplicably similar to Huo Jinli, and the two look a little similar.

"Xiao Jiang, this is Chi Taotao, the owner of this orchard. Professor Li patted the young professor on the shoulder and smiled.

Turning his head and saying to Chi Taotao, "Miss Chi, this is the youngest professor in Nancheng, Jiang Zixi, he is a genius, and the reason why we have the idea of sticky skin grafting is that he put it forward." ”

"Excessive. Jiang Zixi didn't have any expression, just nodded lightly: "Although the idea was proposed, you are the ones who really succeeded in the experiment." ”

"Hello Professor Jiang. Chi Taotao was a little nervous, this professor named Jiang Zixi looked younger than herself next year, but there was always an indescribable sense of oppression on her body.

In addition, his expression is also indifferent, in short, he is a very difficult person to get along with.

"Hello. Sure enough, Jiang Zixi only nodded lightly: "Your orchard is very good." ”

Chi Taotao is also a delicate person in business, otherwise it would be impossible to pull out such a large orchard, but Professor Jiang in front of him doesn't know how to take it even if he says words of praise in his mouth.

Professor Li patted Chi Taotao on the shoulder: "Xiao Jiang is not very good at getting along with people, but he is very professional, and he is still very upright, but he can't speak." ”

"You'll know when you've been together for a long time. Professor Li smiled and shook his head.

Chi Taotao didn't care very much about whether Jiang Zixi could speak or anything like that, anyway, what she wanted to take was only the Yangguan Avenue of Nancheng University.

So she boldly asked: "Professor Jiang, I don't know if Nancheng University lacks an orchard experimental base?"

Jiang Zixi paused when he heard Chi Taotao's question, and then said unhurriedly.
