Now that the house has been repaired, it's time to start decorating the surroundings.

A grape trellis was built in the yard, two osmanthus trees were planted, and countless small potted plants were planted, but Xiaoxi was still a little dissatisfied, so he hit the idea to the vegetable garden next to it.

Luo Guihua is also a lover of flowers and plants, and after listening to Xiaoxi's opinion, he readily agreed.

The land next to the house is almost two acres, and it is a bit big to make a vegetable garden, so Luo Guihua set aside a piece of land of about one acre, and the rest is used for vegetable gardens. The vegetables grown in these few plots are enough for their family to eat, and besides, they are all in the county now, so how can they have time to plant vegetable gardens.

Mr. Chen's family set aside a piece of land next to the house to make a vegetable garden, and their family did not grow vegetables on it.

Since this is the case, Xiaoxi took out a pen and paper and planned carefully. Which piece of land is planted with trees and which piece is planted with flowers, and this piece of land is as beautiful as possible, and it will be her family's back garden in the future.

After drawing the drawings and showing them to Luo Guihua, they were all quite satisfied. Because the eighth day of junior high school is about to start, so after the New Year, on the fifth day of junior high school, Xiaoxi called Chen Yubin to start working.

He also called Boss Chen to help the two of them dig a pit, and the sister and brother planted the saplings and flower seedlings in turn according to the drawings, which took the three of them two days.

Although these fruit trees and flower seedlings have just been planted, it looks a little depressed, but she believes that after a while, it will be very lively.

Nodding in satisfaction, Xiaoxi packed up her things and turned to go back. She was covered in mud and went into the front yard.

In the courtyard, there is a row of bungalows on the left and a fence on the right, Luo Guihua feels that the right side is too simple, and thinks about setting up a shed or something.

Before she could take action, Xiaoxi took the lead, planted a few grape vines, and asked Boss Chen to build a grape trellis.

Then two more osmanthus trees were planted in it. The osmanthus trees and grapevines were dug by her in the space for some years, ensuring that she could eat grapes and pick osmanthus flowers this year.

Xiaoxi stood at the gate, looking at the courtyard on the right, which was still a little empty, and remembered a few clay pots at home. Wait a few days, when the temperature is a little higher, she will move some lotus flowers out, and raise some fish in it, fish to eat. It is both beautiful and delicious.

When Boss Chen came back to demolish the old house, Xiaoxi repeatedly told him to leave the pottery water tanks behind. Fortunately, these water tanks were really not damaged at all.

On the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Xiaoxi and they went down to the county seat, but Old Man Chen and Granny Chen did not go down, they wanted to stay at home for the New Year and then go down.

It just so happened that Xiaoxi asked Old Man Chen to help her water the saplings. These trees have only been planted for a few days, and they need to be watered every day, and Xiaoxi is still worried about what to do when they go down to the county seat to water the saplings, but when they fall asleep, someone will bring a pillow. This matter will be handed over to Mr. Chen.

With the arrival of spring and the recovery of all things, Mr. Chen asked Xiaoxi for many fruit tree saplings.

In the past few years, many people in the village have come to Mr. Chen to contact him to buy fruit tree seedlings, because planting fruit trees is indeed higher than planting crops, so many people have come to Mr. Chen one after another.

At the beginning, some people in the village saw people like Mr. Chen and Zhao Yunqing planting fruit trees, and their income was higher, and they heard that Mr. Chen could help buy fruit saplings, so many people went to him to buy fruit saplings.

But after all, there are those who are greedy and cheap, or red-eyed, and think that Mr. Chen's two sons have made money in the past few years, and the fruit saplings are not all the same, you can buy them wherever you want, and you can't cheap his family. Go to the street and buy some fruit tree saplings at random, or go to the orchard to pick up some small saplings and plant them.

One has a low survival rate, and the other fruit is not of good quality and is not delicious, and no one buys it at all.

In this way, I didn't pick up the cheap at all, and I delayed two years in vain, so I had to cut down the fruit tree, go to Mr. Chen to buy saplings, and replant them.

Xiaoxi saw that more and more people in the village began to plant fruit trees, and a careful thought that had been hidden in her heart for many years came to her mind again, and she told her family about this idea.

When everyone heard that this was for the good of the villagers, they all raised their hands in agreement.

"But, Dad, you ask the village chief to tell them that these fruit saplings can be given to them for free, but they are not allowed to sell or give them to other villages, and if they are found to have sold or given away the fruit saplings issued to them from other villages, they will be punished. Anyone who wants to receive fruit saplings must sign a letter of guarantee. ”

"Well, this one does. Our fruit saplings are not blown by the wind, and we cannot let them take them out and sell them for money. ”

"Are these fruit saplings really given to them for free? How much does it cost? Their money is money, and our money is not money? Even if we give them at the purchase price, we will not lose money." Granny Chen frowned and said distressedly.

Xiaoxi reacted suddenly, Granny Chen didn't know that these saplings came from her, and she always thought that they came in from someone else.

"Mother-in-law, it's okay, it's not much money, the boss and we are old acquaintances, the price is very low, it doesn't cost much. ”

"It's money if you don't get much money, you can't waste it like this. If they want to plant fruit trees, they will pay for them themselves, and we will produce fruit tree seedlings. In the end, he muttered in a low voice, "As a result, the money from the sale of fruit went into their pockets."

Although the voice was small, Xiaoxi still heard the muttering, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, her mother-in-law looked so cute.

"Xiaoxi is not for the people in the village, I want everyone to live a better life, not only for us. ”

Xiaoxi nodded, she thought this way, and ......, "Mother, if these fruit trees are sold, there will be fewer people who come to buy them, and if we give them away for free, many people will take them home and plant them."

If you think about it, when the time comes, most of the land in our village will be planted with fruit trees, and how beautiful it will be when the flowering season comes! Now, when the holidays are over, many people don't like to go to those tourist attractions, so they like to go to the countryside to experience life. You say, if our village is beautiful and distinctive, then there will be people who will come to travel, which will be another income for us. ”

Old Man Chen thought about it for a while, patted his thigh excitedly, and said, "This is good!"

Boss Chen thought about it carefully before he spoke: "Then we have to talk about this matter with the village chief." ”

Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes, the fruit saplings can't be planted indiscriminately, you have to plan it well, you can't have seven or eight kinds of fruits in one piece, it's uncomfortable to look at." ”

Because everyone's land is scattered, one family plants a kind of fruit tree sapling, which is not good to look at during the flowering season, and it is troublesome to pick.

Boss Chen nodded.

For this he went back for several days. First, I discussed it with the village chief, and felt that it was feasible, and then held a meeting with several other cadres in the village.

After explaining everything to the village chief, Boss Chen threw away his hand and only discussed a good day, and then he could transport the saplings back.
