Winter goes to spring

In the blink of an eye, it's the busy time of the year

Universities, primary and secondary schools across the country have also officially started classes, sending off his two younger sisters, and Zhang Feng has also begun to get busy with the crops in the fields.

"Xiaofeng, your second uncle's fruit trees have been pruned and fertilized, are we going to get them too?"

At this time, Zhang Feng has become the pillar of the family, and he needs to make decisions on big and small things in the family.

"Okay, I'm fine these days, I'll go prune the fruit trees tomorrow. Zhang Feng smiled and nodded, signaling his mother not to worry,

At Zhang Feng's speed, it is estimated that all the fruit trees in the orchard can be pruned in one day, and it will not take much work on his own.

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow, Xiaoqin, you can just watch the house at home. Mother Zhang smiled and said.

"Mom, you don't have to go, just prune a fruit tree, I can finish it in a day, and when it rains, I'll just go and fertilize." Zhang Feng smiled and rejected his mother's kindness.

Zhang Feng knew that his mother was actually reluctant to give up her own business, after all, she had an income of five or six hundred a day when she set up a stall at the gate.

For rural people, five or six hundred is already a lot of money, and five or six workers can be hired to help with this little money.

Yes, in the countryside, you can hire a young woman to help, and Zhang's mother can hire five or six people for a day's stall, and the reason why she says this is that she doesn't want her son to take on the family's farm work alone.

However, this is nothing for Zhang Feng, after the strengthening of the gene fluid, as well as continuous exercise, Zhang Feng's physical fitness is many times stronger, and doing this little farm work is just a small case for him, and it can't reach the level of fatigue at all.

Therefore, Zhang Feng rejected his mother's kindness.

…………

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhang Feng woke up naturally.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Zhang Feng showed a faint smile on his face, this kind of weather is a good weather for work.

Because when you work, you are facing the loess with your back to the sky, if there is a sunny weather, it is called unlucky, and it is estimated that **** can be sunburned into Obama.

After Zhang Feng got up, he saw that his mother and eldest sister hadn't gotten up yet, so he slowed down, quietly climbed downstairs, opened the door, and then began to practice gymnastics.

Hurriedly eating breakfast, taking out sickles and saws and other tools from the utility room, driving three wheels, with big white and small white, Zhang Feng galloped towards the back mountain.

"Xiaofeng is going to the ground?"

"Yes, second uncle, you came really early. ”

Originally, Zhang Feng thought that he had come early enough, but he knew that the second uncle had already walked in front of him, you must know that it was only half past six, and it was only a little bit of dawn in the morning of early spring.

"Hehe, what's so early here, I came here after picking the vegetables in the vegetable field. The second uncle responded with a smile.

Hearing the words of the second uncle, Zhang Feng was shocked, now that he has picked the vegetables, he has to get up at four or five o'clock?

"Why don't you rest well, what if your body is tired?" Zhang Feng hurriedly persuaded.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'm used to this, don't you think I'm in good health?"

Waking up in the middle of the night has become a household for him, after all, he is old, and he can't sleep in the second half of the night.

Then the old man also put on a fitness posture, showing his muscles, saying that he was still in good health, seeing this, Zhang Feng suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, the old man was really interesting.

After chatting for a while, the two went to the field and were busy taking care of their fruit trees.

"Big white and little white, you guys play by yourself. After sending away the two cute pets, Zhang Feng took the orange and walked towards the orchard.

The fruit trees of Zhang Feng's family are all halfway up the mountainside, with a total of seven or eight acres of peaches and plums, and the remaining one or two acres are citrus.

With the arrival of spring, the peach and plum trees in the orchard also sprout buds, and it is estimated that they will bloom beautifully in a day or two.

As I have introduced before, fruit trees are not as lush as possible, because in the case of certain nutrients and water, only by retaining the best branches and leaves can the quality of the fruit be maintained, otherwise because there are too many fruits and lack of nutrition, they will eventually grow into crooked melons and cracked fruits, and such fruits will definitely not be able to buy the price.

Therefore, the fruit trees in the orchard need to be pruned every year, cutting off dry and weak branches, so as to ensure that the fruit trees grow in all directions and can absorb more sunlight.

"These fruit trees are aging!" After careful observation, Zhang Feng found that many fruit trees were seriously aged, and some had even died entirely.

Peach trees are generally planted after l~4 years for the young age, the main characteristics of this period is vigorous growth, often germinate a large number of development branches, long and a large number of secondary shoots, many long fruit branches, flower buds are sparse, the nodes of growth are high, and the fruit setting rate is low.

5~15 years after the peach tree is planted, it is the peak fruiting period. Generally, 5-7 years after planting, it enters the full fruiting period.

The length of the fruiting period varies greatly with the variety, management level, planting density, tree shape and other conditions, and can generally be maintained until about 15 years old.

During this period, pruning should maintain the balance of the tree and a good subordinate relationship, otherwise it will soon enter the senescence phase until it dies.

For his own peach trees, Zhang Feng still remembers more clearly, it was planted in the corresponding village in 03 years, and it was from that year that the peach and plum in the village gradually increased.

In this way, the trees in the orchard are more than ten years old, and the previous poor management has led to rapid aging and degradation of the fruit trees, and some have even dried up and died.

Many people may not know why the growth cycle of peach trees is so short, it is because peach trees secrete a large amount of sap.

The sap of these trees gives off an insect attraction smell, and the peach trees will gradually grow old and wither due to the lack of nutrients due to the sucking of insects such as the longhorn beetle.

Plum trees have a long growth cycle, but it is estimated that in a few years, they will also face the problem of aging.

But Zhang Feng doesn't care about this, the fruit trees in the orchard can't bring much benefit to himself, whether these fruit trees die, Zhang Feng has to change to other more valuable crops.

For example, planting flowers, tea, and medicinal herbs, there are many high-quality products in the system, and if you plant one-tenth of the area, the income is dozens or even hundreds of times that of fruit trees.

The reason why these fruit trees are still kept is that Zhang Feng has not planned it yet.

Shaking his head and shaking off these thoughts, Zhang Feng sped up his speed, took a handsaw or scissors, and quickly pruned the fruit trees in the orchard.

As the pruning progressed, Zhang Feng found that the progress was faster than he imagined, and it was estimated that all the pruning could be completed in one morning.

I have to say that Zhang Feng's physical fitness is really becoming more and more perverted, and the speed of doing farm work is beyond imagination, he is simply a non-human.
