Isn't everyone at home? Surely there was no accident! Cheng Qiao muttered in his heart, and after a little refreshment, he guessed that it was the village that had summoned everyone to the village committee.

As she was walking towards the village committee, she heard two sounds of "Wang", and her golden retriever obediently galloped to her and circled around her.

"Obedient!" Cheng Qiao bowed and stroked the obedient head, and asked, "Do you know where Grandpa and they went?"

Ben then said that he didn't expect it to answer, but surprisingly, he actually wagged his tail at her, biting the hem of her skirt and dragging it forward. Cheng Qiao couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say: "Be obedient, obedient...... Let go of me, where are you going to take me?"

"Wang!" he said obediently, shouted at her, and ran forward.

Cheng Qiao ran a few steps behind it, and could see the office building of the village committee from a distance. When I got closer, I found that a temporary stage had been set up in the small square in front of the office building, holding a big red banner with the words "Forest Fire Prevention Publicity and Performance Conference".

The people sitting under the stage were all villagers from Chengjia Village.

obediently trotted into the crowd, and Cheng Qiao's eyes followed it and it was easy to find his family reads;.

"Grandpa. Cheng Qiao walked over and shouted in Old Man Cheng's ear.

"Oh. The old man turned his head to look at her in response, and his eyes were locked on the stage again.

"Sister Lobby, sit here. Cheng Yuan also spotted Cheng Qiao, waved at her, and made room for her.

Cheng Qiao walked over and sat beside her, glanced left and right, and her uncle and husband also sat on both sides, looking at the stage with the same expression as Old Man Cheng, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"

Cheng Yuan leaned her head over and whispered to her ear: "The county forestry bureau and a science and technology company called what jointly organized the forest fire prevention knowledge publicity, and everyone in the village was called by the village committee to study, and each person was given a souvenir. As he spoke, he raised a palm-sized box in his hand.

Cheng Qiao took it and opened it to see that it was a ceramic mug, and then looked back and forth, left and right, and sure enough, everyone was holding a box in their hands.

Cheng Yuan continued, "They really put a lot of effort into combining fire prevention knowledge and performance, and after the performance, they will ask questions on the spot, and if they answer correctly, there will be not only a commemorative award, but also a grand prize...... "As he spoke, he pointed to a table at the bottom right of the stage, and there was not a flat-screen TV stacked on it, and the size of the screen was at least forty-two inches.

"Everyone was playing around in front of me and didn't listen carefully, and no one could answer the questions asked by the host, and the award was still there, so I'm watching the show attentively at this time!"

"I see!" Cheng Qiao suddenly realized, and after looking at it for a while, he felt that this method was very good, which not only promoted the knowledge of fire prevention, but also benefited from it.

At the end of the performance, the host came on the stage, first teasing a few words about the lively atmosphere, and then asked a question, "When is the fire propaganda day in my country mentioned in the performance just now?

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Qiao felt that there was a flower in front of him, and the audience was full of waving arms.

Old man Cheng didn't win when he was old, and the young man next door stood up first and gave the answer, "November 9th every year." Then he happily ran to the bottom of the stage and took away the big TV, and at the same time the host announced the end of today's performance.

After the end, Cheng Qiao left with everyone, and before he walked a few steps away, he heard someone shouting his name behind his back, and when he looked back, the person who came was a young man in his twenties with glasses, and showed a shy smile at her: "Cheng Qiao, it's really you! ＂

Cheng Qiao felt that the young man in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't remember the other party's name for a while, so he couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, the other party preemptively said: "I'm your high school classmate Qiu Peng! Why can't you recognize it?"

After he reminded her like this, Cheng Qiao finally remembered, wasn't the young man in front of her the class president in high school?" ”

"Really?" Qiu Peng touched his face and said with a smile, "You're still so beautiful!"

Cheng Qiao also laughed and asked him, "Why did you come to our Chengjia Village?"

Qiu Peng replied: "I am now working in the county forestry bureau, and I went to the countryside today to do fire prevention propaganda activities." ”

"So you're the organizer. The form of your activity is very good, I see that the villagers are very enthusiastic!" Cheng Qiao praised.

"Really? It's good if it works, and I'll be able to complete the tasks assigned by my superiors. Qiu Peng was a little embarrassed by her praise and touched his head shyly.

Cheng Qiao looked at him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "By the way, the squad leader has something to ask you......"

"If there is anything to say, I will do my best to help if I can. Qiu Peng immediately patted his chest and said boldly.

"That's right. I recently renovated my family's old home, and now I want to buy some saplings to plant in the backyard, but I went around the city and couldn't find a suitable one. Squad leader, do you know where there are still seedlings sold near our county?"

Qiu Peng replied without thinking about it: "You really asked the right person." Wait, I'll find you ......" he took out his mobile phone, flipped through it a few times, gave Cheng Qiao a phone number, and said: "This is the largest nursery base in our county, which is responsible for seedling cultivation and cultivation." The seedlings are complete and should be able to meet your requirements. Wrote it down, right?"

"Hmm. Cheng Qiao nodded, saved the number into his mobile phone, and when he raised his head, he found Qiu Peng staring at him with blank eyes, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Peng instantly became squirming and asked, "Can you ...... Can you put your ...... Mobile phone number...... Sue me?"

"Okay. You tell me your number, and I'll call you. Cheng Qiao didn't think much about it and said it casually.

Qiu Peng hurriedly reported his number, and after a while, the mobile phone in his hand rang. When Cheng Qiao hung up his phone, he immediately saved the number, and did not forget to add: "There may be a class reunion recently, and I will notify you when the time comes." ”

"Okay......" Cheng Qiao responded, and was about to talk to his old classmates, when he heard Old Man Cheng's voice coming.

"Qiaoqiao, what are you still grinding about, and I'm going home. It turned out that Old Man Cheng walked halfway and found that his eldest granddaughter hadn't followed, so he turned back to look for her.

Cheng Qiao smiled at Qiu Peng embarrassedly, "I have to go home, I have something to call us!" said and ran in the direction of the old man.

"It's fine. You go first. I'm going to go to Linjia Village next door to continue performing......" Qiu Peng said, holding the phone tightly in his hand, his cheeks were slightly red, and he reluctantly watched her leave.

When he returned home, the old man sat in the hall and kept thinking in his mouth: "It's a pity, why is it a step too slow, and the jackpot will be moved away to the bastard next door!"

Cheng Qiao's uncle was relieved and persuaded: "Dad, it's a pity that I didn't get this kind of thing, and there is no shortage of TVs in our house." Besides, it's not empty-handed, isn't it a person who also handed out a water cup?"

"Yes, grandpa, this water cup looks good, why don't I use a new cup to make you a cup of tea?" Cheng Qiao also persuaded on the side.

"Hey......" the old man sighed, "I have to think so." ”

After dinner and walking, Cheng Qiao returned to the room and searched the Internet for the information of the nursery base that Qiu Peng told her. Logging in to the homepage of this seedling company, I found that it was the same as Qiu Peng said, with a large scale and a complete range of tree species. Cheng Qiao browsed the web and began to worry again, compared with the scale of this company, his purchase volume seemed small, and he didn't know if the other party was willing to do his own business.

After hesitating for a while, he still dialed the phone number given by Qiu Peng, originally thought that no one would answer it so late, but he didn't expect the other party to answer after a few beeps.

Hearing Cheng Qiao say that it was introduced by Qiu Peng, the other party's attitude immediately became very enthusiastic. After chatting for a while, I realized that this person was actually a distant relative of Qiu Peng, surnamed Hu, and when Cheng Qiao said that he wanted to buy a batch of seedlings, the other party asked about the quantity, and she didn't think she wanted much, but she just asked her to go to the base in person to pick out the reads;. I took a note of the address that the other party said, and found that it was not too far from Taowu Town, and it only took thirty or forty minutes to drive there.

The next day, Cheng Qiao drove Xiaobai to the nursery base at the agreed time on the phone. When he saw the scene, Cheng Qiao was a little surprised.

"Miss Cheng, hello. The man who came to receive her was a man surnamed Hu who spoke to her yesterday, in his forties, and the owner of this seedling company.

"Hello, Boss Hu. Cheng Qiao's apricot eyes were still staring at the endless green in front of him, "It's really big, I'm afraid that this base only has a few thousand acres of land......"

Boss Hu replied proudly: "Yes." Our company's nursery base is definitely the largest in the county! Recently, we have contracted a part of the barren mountains and wasteland to build a new base, and the scale will soon exceed 10,000. ”

"Boss Hu's business is thriving, and he is getting bigger and bigger!" Cheng Qiao said.

"Hehe, I promise you. ”

The two exchanged politeness before returning to the topic, "I don't know what tree species Miss Cheng wants." ”

Cheng Qiao thought for a while and said: "It's mainly to decorate the backyard, if you want to see flowers in all seasons, how many do you recommend to me?"

"That's ......," Boss Hu thought for a while and replied, "The common ones are peach blossoms, pomegranates, osmanthus and plum blossoms, which happen to be in all seasons." ”

When Cheng Qiao heard this, he felt that these things were good, and they were common tree species that were easy to feed, so he nodded and said, "Then according to what you said, choose a few trees for me?"

"Come, come with me. Boss Hu said, leading her to a osmanthus forest, "This osmanthus is also divided into osmanthus and golden osmanthus, I don't know what kind of osmanthus you want, there are two kinds of adult trees and saplings, which one do you want?"

Cheng Qiao felt that there was a lot of knowledge in it, and after talking too much, his brain was dizzy, and he didn't know how to choose, so he directly interrupted Boss Hu's words: "Boss Hu, I'm a layman, I don't understand what you told me, anyway, I just asked for it before, and then there are saplings that are easy to feed, and you can do the rest for me......"

"Miss Cheng, is this for me to give you an idea?" said Boss Hu with a smile.

Cheng Qiao also laughed: "Boss Hu was introduced by our squad leader Qiu Peng, I am absolutely relieved of you, so I will leave it to you to choose for me!"

"Since Miss Cheng said so, I will make the decision for you. After Boss Hu finished speaking, he took her to various nurseries to select saplings.

When passing by a nursery, Cheng Qiao saw many trees stacked in the corner, and asked with some surprise, "Boss Hu, what kind of tree is that?"

Boss Hu's original smile was immediately put away, he looked at the pile of trees lying on the ground and shook his head, and said distressedly: "Those are imported cherry saplings, oh, now they are called cherries." The survival rate is less than one-third. After a few years of careful care, he was about to bear fruit but had an incurable disease. As he spoke, he walked over and pointed to the roots of one of the cherry trees to show Cheng Qiao, "This is called root cancer, there is a tumor at the root of the tree, and the longer it grows, the root of the tree will slowly die if it is underdeveloped." ”

Cheng Qiao followed him and leaned his head over, the tree was two or three meters high, the trunk as thick as the mouth of the bowl was white-brown, and there were some gray-white nodules growing on the roots.

"It turns out that trees can also get cancer...... Cheng Qiao felt that he had grown knowledge, and felt sorry for these cherry saplings.

"Hey, our land is not as good as those cherry producing areas......" Boss Hu sighed.
