The harvest of this year's orchard is not bad, but according to Wu Qingling's calculations, it is still a little difficult to rely on the income of this year's orchard to survive until the next apple harvest.

Chi Taotao didn't expect this, and hurriedly asked Wu Qingling how to calculate it.

"Sister, our income this year, at that time, was generally directly based on shares, and the remaining half I didn't share it in order to prevent the unexpected needs of the orchard. ”

"Hmm. I know this, and this is also the result of our discussions at that time. Chi Taotao nodded.

"Later, we bought a lot of land, and it didn't cost much to buy land, but the investment per mu of land is not small. ”

Seeing that Chi Taotao had no doubts, Wu Qingling continued to speak.

"In the beginning, we spent a lot of money on the purchase of saplings, and in order to get income as soon as possible, we still bought some of the trees that can bear fruit this year. ”

"These are all one-time consumptions, and there will be no need to spend money in the future, do we have anything else to spend?"

Chi Taotao looked at Wu Qingling and asked.

"Of course there is! And many more. Wu Qingling looked at Chi Taotao and said with a smile.

Seeing Chi Taotao's eyes dazed, it seemed that she really didn't know, Wu Qingling sighed and continued.

"Sister, we also need to manage the orchard in winter. ”

When Wu Qingling said this, Chi Taotao reacted, indeed, there are still a lot of places where the orchard needs to spend money.

Chi Tao Tao really felt that she had been confused recently, and she had forgotten such an important thing. Fortunately, Wu Qingling reminded herself.

At about this time last year, it seemed that I was still running at both ends of the orchard, and at this time, it was almost time to go to clear the trees.

Thinking that she hadn't been to the orchard recently, Chi Taotao decided to take Li Rang and Wu Qingling to the orchard tomorrow.

Li Rang was originally sent by Nancheng University to help her manage the orchard, so he naturally had to bring it. Wu Qingling has been working hard with herself for a year, and she is the largest shareholder of the orchard besides herself, so she must also go to see it.

Early the next morning, the three of them set out for the orchard.

When they arrived, they found that the ground was still the same as when the fruit had just been harvested, and there were some broken leaves and branches, and unlike at that time, a lot of weeds had grown.

As soon as Chi Taotao saw this situation, she didn't need to ask Li Rang's opinion. It was directly decided that a few people would come to Qingshu in the afternoon.

The so-called tree clearing is to collect the dead branches and leaves, rotten fruits, weeds, etc. of the orchard after the fruit is harvested, gather them, bury them deeply, or burn them.

Because if these things are not disposed of in time, they will slowly rot, and the small animals in the orchard will ...... There is a place to live.

Chi Tao Tao had neglected this before, and now he is very worried that there will be a large number of overwintering pests and diseases in winter. Thinking of this pool of peach peach, I felt that I couldn't wait any longer.

Directly pulled Wu Qingling and Li Rang to walk back, and said as they walked: "Qingling, your house is closer to Aunt Liu's house, you go back and tell her, let her come to help clean up in the afternoon." ”

Aunt Liu is old, and Chi Taotao didn't want to trouble her, she is a junior, so she is more busy, so that the old man can enjoy some leisure. But in the current situation, she is very anxious, so she can only do this.

"Sister Chi, it's also my fault for this, I haven't been to the orchard recently. ”

Li Rang saw that the situation in the orchard was a little serious, and Chi Taotao looked anxious, and blamed himself.

"I don't blame you, it's me. I've also planted apples, and I've forgotten all about such an important thing, so let's go back and get something and clean it up. ”

After listening to Li Rang's self-blame, Chi Taotao didn't feel that Li Rang was wrong, and now it is the most important thing to clean up these things quickly.

Several people hurried back to the village to get their things, and it took them a whole afternoon to finish them, and by the time they returned to the village, it was already a little dark.

Chi Taotao saw that it was dark, and several people didn't eat in the afternoon, so they must have been tired after a busy afternoon. Just leave a few people behind, cook at their own house, and everyone will go back after eating.

Before leaving, Chi Taotao thought about sending Wu Qingling home: "Qingling, I'll send you back, I'm afraid you'll be scared on the road." ”

"Sister Chi, you are also a woman, you are not afraid to come back alone?" Li Rang spoke.

As soon as Li asked these words, the atmosphere was strangely silent.

"That's it, I'll send Wu Qingling home, Sister Chi, you can sit at home with peace of mind, I will definitely send her home safely." ”

When Li Rang said this, Chi Taotao and Wu Qingling had no reason to object, so they had to agree.

So Wu Qingling walked in front, and Li Rang followed two steps behind.

The two of them didn't know each other very well, so they didn't have anything to talk about, so Li Rang sent Wu Qingling home all the way.

When they arrived at the door, the two didn't say a few words, Wu Qingling said a few words of thanks and entered the house, and turned back.

Li Rang finished sending Wu Qingling, and on the way back, he wanted to reply to Chi Taotao, so he went to Chi Taotao's house again, and then went home.

Shen Jing, who had been paying attention to Li Rang, found that Li Rang went out today, and he hadn't come back since it was dark, so he simply didn't sleep, sitting in his room and keeping an eye on the door.

Shen Jing was about to fall asleep, only to see someone walking towards the door on the road outside, it was Li Rang.

Seeing Li Rang coming back, she didn't have time to rejoice, and when she saw the direction in which Li Rang came over, her face sank suddenly, and that direction was not the direction of Chi Tao Tao's house.

Why, she Chi Taotao is married, Li Rang still goes to her every day, he lives with Li Rang every day, and he doesn't say a few words to himself.

Li Rangyou has been to Chi Taotao's house, and after Chi Taotao learned that Wu Qingling was sent home safely, she found that she missed Huo Jinli a little, looking at the time, Huo Jinli should not have slept.

Chi Taotao, who had already gone to bed and was about to sleep, simply got up directly, got out of bed and called Huo Jinli.

"Hey, little peach. Is there something going on at home?" Huo Jinli's voice came.

Chi Taotao suddenly regretted it at the moment, she called him in the middle of the night, just because she missed him, how could she say this reason.

Huo Jinli on the other side of the phone saw that the phone was dialed, but Chi Taotao didn't speak, and he was even more anxious.

"Xiao Tao, what's going on over there, or can't you speak now?" Huo Jinli thought of the last time Chi Taotao was tied up at home, and his voice trembled a little.

Chi Taotao heard Huo Jinli's nervous voice and came back to her senses.

"No, Brother Lili. There's nothing going on at home, and I'm fine. ”

Huo Jinli was still not at ease: "Xiao Tao, are you really okay?" If you have something to say, I can help you solve it when you say it, okay?"

"It's really okay, it's just ......" Chi Taotao said that she stopped, and she was embarrassed to say the next words.

When Huo Jinli heard that his daughter-in-law was really in trouble, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, let's talk about something slowly." If you can't say anything on the phone, you'll tell me when I get home tomorrow, okay?"

Listening to Huo Jinli's comfort, Chi Taotao was moved in her heart. This man is really concerned about himself. I and him are also old husbands and wives, and those words are nothing.

Thinking of this, Chi Taotao was not so shy, and gave herself some psychological hints: "Brother Jinli, I miss you!" Chi Taotao finally said it.

Huo Jinli, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

It turned out to be fine, but I just let go of my hanging heart, and I felt that it was wrong, my daughter-in-law missed herself, how could it be considered okay?

Thinking of this, Huo Jinli said, "Little Peach, there are still two days." ”

"What two days?" Chi Tao Tao didn't quite understand what he meant.

"You don't have to think about your brother. Huo Jinli's deep voice came.

Chi Taotao reacted, and her face was already red.

"It's not right, it's hanging. ”

Chi Momo pretended to be angry.

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing. Huo Jinli hurriedly said,

"What's the matter?"

Chi Taotao thought that Huo Jinli really had something to do, and listened quietly on the phone.

"I miss you too. Huo Jinli's voice came into his ears, and Chi Taotao felt a little dizzy in his head: "I'm hanging." ”

After speaking, Chi Taotao hung up the phone. Holding her face with both hands, she felt that her face was very hot, and when she looked up and peeked in the mirror, her face was indeed red.

After sitting quietly for a while, the flush on Chi Taotao's face almost went down, and she looked at the mirror again.

This mirror was brought back by Huo Jinli from the county seat and given to him. After the separation, many things in the house were originally distributed by Wang Dani to her second son, including some furniture when she got married.

Huo Jinli found that after he broke up, the good-looking mirror he used before was gone, so he went to the county seat the next day to buy himself a new one.

This mirror is a double-sided mirror, and the back one is a magnifying glass, which is convenient for you to use if you wear light makeup. There is also a small storage box incorporated under the mirror, which can put your own earrings and small things.

What makes Chi Tao the happiest is the words engraved on the storage box, "I wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head is not separated." "I was reborn once, and I have a deep relationship with Huo Jinli.

She no longer has the presumptuous idea of being self-indulgent before, thinking that if Huo Jinli loves Wu Lixia, she will "abdicate and make way for Xian", after all, she now understands and believes that Huo Jinli loves herself.

When Chi Taotao saw this mirror, she felt in a good mood, so she simply found a piece of cloth to wrap it and put it on the pillow where Huo Jinli often slept on.

Early in the morning, Wu Qingling came to Chi Taotao's house with tools and knocked on the door.

They made an appointment yesterday to go to the orchard today to scrape the bark.

Last year's older apple trees, the bark and trunk cracks are prone to lurk a large number of germs and pests, simply scrape the bark first, can play a good role in the prevention and control of next year's pests and diseases.

Small trees are not needed, they don't have many cracks in the bark, and the ground has not been piled up with those dead branches and leaves for as long as before, so the possibility of hiding pests and diseases is still relatively small.

The two of them brought their things and went to Li Rang again, this is a free labor, no need to use it in vain.
