Chapter 10 Greening continues

【1】

If Zhang Zhishu wants to make the environment beautiful, he has to plant flowers and trees on both sides of each road. But the village didn't have the money to buy so many seedlings? He didn't hesitate to take out his own passbook, ride on his own donkey, quack, quack, and walk out of the village...... He is like a character in an opera, "expressing pride and ambition". The village party secretary was in a happy mood, so he sang and ran to the forest farm in the county seat. When he came to the forest farm, he explained his intention to Zhao Xiaopao, the leader of the forest farm.

Leader Zhao said with a serious expression: "The amount of these seeds that you want to buy in one village has exceeded the amount that you want to buy in one commune. In this situation, do you dare to plant a lot of flowers and trees? You dare to buy it, but I dare not sell it. Zhang Guangming stubbornly grinded Zhao for a long time, and he reluctantly agreed to sell. Zhang Guangming held these seeds of different sizes, colors and shapes, and smiled happily. Before leaving, Leader Zhao repeatedly explained, "If someone asks one day, where did you buy these seeds? Do you know?" Zhang Guangming agreed. "You must remember what I told you. Zhang Guangming nodded again. Only then did he say goodbye to Leader Zhao.

On the way back on his donkey, he wondered all the way, "What's the matter now?"

He sat on the back of a donkey, stepped on the ground, stepped on the ground, came to the house, tied the donkey in a circle, took the seeds and carried the hoe, and also carried the flat burden, and went to the well to pick up two buckets of water, and walked to the experimental base of the brigade. He first dug a small pit with a hoe, then poured some water, waited for the water to seep down, then pinched a few seeds and put them in the small pit, and finally covered it with a thin layer of soil. He had been busy for a whole day before he finished planting the seeds of various flowers and trees.

Under the careful care of Zhang Zhishu, these seeds swelled and germinated day by day under the soil. The sprouting seeds seemed to be like dolls about to be born, and gradually, they pushed the soil on their bodies with their heads, and finally opened them. They poked their heads out and exclaimed: "Wow! The outside world is so vast! It's really immense! It seems that they have a kind of posture of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and they swear loudly to the crops around them: "The little buds are as long as they can, and they should be self-reliant!"

New seedlings are like newborns, they need to be carefully raised, when they are thirsty, Zhang Guangming feeds them water to drink, and when they are hungry, they feed them food (manure). Within a few days, they grew small tender hands and learned to wave, wave, and shake their heads to Zhang Zhishu...... Gradually, they were tall, with a thick waist, a burly body, and powerful arms. They also learned to hug, and Zhang Guangming enthusiastically embraced the young seedlings. They seemed to be whispering to Zhang Zhishu: "We have learned to stretch our arms, bend over, kick and kick, learn to do exercises, sing and dance, and learn all the sample collars, okay to return to the branch secretary?"

He looked at the young Miao Miao and said in his heart: "Guys, don't you feel a little crowded now, and you can't use your skills? Don't worry, in a few days, I will let you go where you should go!"

Zhang Zhishu led the villagers to plant gourds on the adobe walls around the cave, and planted many trees around the caves in the courtyard. Of course, the willows and wattles that can be woven into baskets and baskets have to be planted in the ground near the roots of the inner walls.

Zhang Zhishu was busy planting trees here. He walked around the pond again, and found that the stamens on the seedlings around him were growing, and they would bloom in a few days. He saw that there were crazy weeds growing on the slope, which made people look unsightly. I've got to find a way to change the environment here.

Say action, do it. When Zhang Zhishu had breakfast, he said to his wife: "I want to plant trees and flowers around the big pond......

Before her husband could finish speaking, Li Yue'e smiled and said, "I don't want to participate in politics! You should discuss these things with the village cadres instead of me." ”

Zhang Guangming said with an apology: "I have already taken our family's money to buy seeds of flowers and trees in the forest farm, and planted them in the experimental base." Now Miao'er is growing strong. ”

When Li Yue'e heard this, she was surprised and said: "Oh, the seeds have grown into seedlings, why are you only telling me now?" Zhang Guangming was about to explain to his wife, Li Yue'e said cheerfully, take it, you use our family's money to buy those "delicate babies" in the pond, don't I have no objection? In the future, you will hold the financial power of our family, and you will have the final say in holding the calculations! You can only take the money in the passbook, and you don't need to discuss it with me in the future, you can make your own decisions!

Zhang Guangming smiled and couldn't help but kiss his wife's face. Li Yue'e's face turned red when she brushed the ground. The three daughters in the room laughed and said, "Look, Mommy is shy!" and the couple burst out laughing.

Zhang Guangming quickly ate a bowl of rice and walked quickly to the brigade office. Use a loudspeaker to notify the team members to come to the brigade meeting. He also said he was going to come soon. The village cadres trotted all the way here. Zhang Guangming told them in a few words that he was going to carry out greening work in our village, and asked everyone to discuss and see if they were successful. Zhang Guangming said, you agree, I will go to my production team to borrow a carriage......

Zhang Zhishu came to Zhang Guangcai's house and told him that he wanted to borrow the carriage in the team to pull saplings for greening. Captain Zhang was very supportive of the branch secretary's approach, so he agreed to him.

So, Zhang Zhishu took the shovel and the village cadres to the experimental base of the brigade. Everyone planed up all kinds of saplings in the experimental base one by one and loaded them into the wagon. Zhang Zhishu drove a carriage full of saplings, and sang a self-composed song all the way: "Horse, run quickly...... Kick and gallop steadily, and keep in mind if you can't reach speed. Determined to be a pillar of hard work, life does not stop running!" He drove the carriage to the big pond, and the people unloaded the saplings from the carriage. Then they took shovels and dug pits and planted trees.

This is a sunny day in spring, Zhang Zhishu and the village cadres first planted small saplings around the big pond, and then everyone waved pickaxes and planted trees on both sides of the village and the busy road, as well as on both sides of the riverbank.

Zhang Zhishu told the crowd: "I learned that planting trees is very particular about planting trees by reading books on planting fruit trees. You have to dig a pit twice as big as the roots, put the small saplings in the pit, straighten the saplings, fill them with soil, and add half of the soil? And you have to keep stepping on the soil, but don't leave air. Add more soil around the trunk, otherwise you will sink into a big hole when you water it. The next step is to water thoroughly, and you should straighten it when watering! Everyone should also pick up some large paulownia leaves, or plantain leaves, and of course other large leaves. Cover the leaves over the tree pit to reduce water evaporation. The survival rate of the tree will also be greatly increased. As long as you pay attention to these planting methods, I think there should be no big problem for the fruit trees to survive. What if there are dead saplings? I still have a lot of seedlings and flower seedlings in the brigade's experimental base, so if you want to plant them in your yard, you can plane them.

The villagers looked at the fruit tree saplings with longing eyes, eager to let the fruit trees blossom and bear fruit at once.

They all said:

"After a few years, the villagers of Muyehua Village will have fruits to eat!"

"Yes, yes, in the past, our villagers were poor and had no money to buy fruits to eat, but in the future, we don't have to spend money to eat fruits!"

"The fruit trees in our village have been planted, so when will they bear fruit?"

Zhang Guangming told her: "There is an old saying: three apricots and four pears are five years, and jujube trees are round and sweet in one year. The branch secretary said while digging a pit, "In a few years, you will be able to see the fragrance of flowers and fruits!"

Wang Meihua is holding the sapling, and Li Dongzhi is planting. After planting, Wang Meihua found that the little sapling was crooked, so she said: "You see that the winter solstice is crooked." ”

After Li Dongzhi immediately straightened it, he went to the tree and asked, "Sister Meihua, don't you ask when the flowers will bloom first, just ask when they will bear fruit?" He turned around and asked the branch secretary, "When do they bloom and when do they pick fruits?"

"There's an old saying, isn't it still said: peach blossoms bloom, apricot blossoms fail, pear blossoms come out to call grandma......" The branch secretary straightened the crooked saplings, stepped on them with his feet and continued, "May peach sweet silk, June apple noodles Dandaner, July Portuguese sweet and sour sweet, August pear sweet honey, September jujube honey, October walnut fragrant beibeier." ”

Sun Youfu praised enviously and said: "Look at our branch secretary to understand a lot!"

"These are all practical words summed up in life! Therefore, you should pay more attention to observation and pay more attention to everything in your life! Isn't there a saying that there is a great knowledge in farm work?" Zhang Guangming said with a smile. He squeezed one left eye on one side and used his right eye to see if the little sapling was planted straight. Even if one of the saplings was a little crooked, he immediately walked over to straighten it and stomped it firmly with his feet. The branch secretary is so serious and meticulous in his work.

Zhang Zhishu led the cadres and the masses to clear the weeds on the halfway slope of the big pond, and then began to plant flowers and plants.

Zhang Guangming was digging a small dirt pit while making everyone laugh. He said, "Guys, let me tell you, the flowers are very powerful!"

Everyone focused their surprised eyes on his face. Zhang Zhishu explained, "You see, people like to compare flowers to girls, and this girl has great powers!" "She can make a couple fall in love - flowers before the moon, she can make a good marriage - flowers and full moons, she can play a few martial arts - flower fists and embroidered legs, she can lead people astray - flowers and wine...... Everyone was amused by Zhang Zhishu's witty and humorous jokes.

Zhang Zhishu didn't let everyone laugh and tears this time, and he would never give up. He went on to say, "Grass is no less powerful than flowers! People like to compare bamboo grass to a gentleman." He's a gentleman, but he's an impostor. For example, he can make people sloppy - act rashly, he can make people become reckless heroes - reckless heroes, he can make people see the scene of spring - the grass grows and the warbler flies, and he can make people sigh the bleakness of autumn and winter - the grass and trees are scattered. Zhang Guangming stopped when he said this. He jokingly said that he could still make a vivid analogy to our village, and everyone cast curious glances, and they showed anxious eyes. Zhang Guangming said solemnly, then I said that you can't blame me, everyone is looking forward to it. Zhang Zhishu only then went on to say that he could let people see the beginning of our village's business - grass creation...... His words made everyone laugh, and everyone laughed so much that tears flowed out of their eyes.

Today, the cadres and masses of Muyehua Village are in full swing to first plant many varieties of saplings, then plant various varieties of flower seedlings, and finally plant various ornamental grasses that bloom under the trees. Everyone was busy until the sunset was full, and finally the greening work was completed.

After a few days, the seedlings of the living flowers and trees, green and green, as if they knew that they carried the villagers' yearning for beauty, began to grow as hard as they could.
