Chapter 3 Visitors from the Abandoned Orchard (Revision)

"Or, according to what Xiao Yu said, let him try it first, right? Anyway, our orchard has been abandoned for many years, and being idle is also idle, if it can really be revitalized, then everyone will be happy, even if it doesn't work, it's not too late to let Xiaoyu go out to find a job, right? ”

Hong Yu's mother, Zheng Lan, also has a bad leg pain this year and can't walk far, but she is full of hope that her baby son can stay by her side, not only to help at this time.

And with his mother's help to speak, his always stubborn father Hong Tianlai finally compromised, but he made it clear that he would give Hong Yu a year, and if he didn't work, he would have to go back to the city to work.

In this regard, Hong Yu, who was full of confidence, naturally agreed.

That night, after Hong Yu accompanied Fa Xiaozhao Dahai to have a full meal, before dawn the next day, he carried a sickle, a chainsaw and an axe, and led the family's eight-year-old native dog, Rhubarb, to the orchard.

……

Hong Yu's family is the first group of people to play with orchards in Xueshi Village, the orchard is located in the east of the village on a hill called Black Mountain Depression, the orchards are scattered on the hillside, the area is not small, there must be more than ten acres of land before and after.

However, in principle, this mountain does not belong to Hong Yu's family, it is just a wasteland.

And Xueshi Village has a small number of people in the area, and the land occupied by the wasteland is basically whoever opened it, and in addition to the fact that Hong Yu's family occupies this land or a mountainous area, so no one cares about it at all, so there is a scale of more than ten acres now, but later Hong Yu's parents really couldn't do it, so they gave up.

However, when Hong Yu finally arrived at the gate of the orchard, he was dumbfounded when he saw his own orchard.

Because the orchard has been abandoned for many years, it now feels like one word,

"Wild"!

Most of the orchards of Hong Yu's family are peach trees, each of which is five or six years old, but at this time, it is overgrown with weeds, and the wild grass that is more than one person tall can even bury the peach trees.

Moreover, as soon as Hong Yu approached, hundreds of flocks of ** finches flew out of the lush grass "fluttering" and "fluttering", and a few frightened pheasants and hares also came out of the grass, causing the rhubarb behind him to bark wildly.

"I'll go, it's too wild! These grasses are much more lush than the grass on the barren mountains! ”

Looking at his own weedy orchard, Hong Yu really couldn't be happy, in fact, the grass was not tight, it was just a little more effort to weed.

The most important thing is that the peach trees in this orchard are not only full of miscellaneous branches, but also a few poor thin flower bone seedlings that have just emerged, which are also twisted and curly, and look unhealthy, and it is a question of whether they can bloom or not.

"It seems that if these peach trees are to bear fruit this year, not only will they have to be fertilized, but they will also have to be covered with nutrient solution."

The nutrient solution is available in the town, which is not urgent, but the weeding must be fast.

Because the first flowering period of peach trees is between the end of March and April, and now that they have entered March, if these grasses are not removed as soon as possible, then these peach trees will be completely abandoned this year!

Thinking of this, Hong Yu no longer hesitated, and went straight to work.

……

For the next few days, Hong Yu shrank in the peach orchard to weed and prune, leaving early and returning late every day.

Within a few days, blisters were felt on his hands and feet, but the grass was not less, Hong Yu not only did not flinch, but grinded out the tenacity in his bones, took a needle to break the blisters, wrapped the cloth and continued to dry.

In the end, Hong Yu simply persuaded his parents to move the pot and the bedding directly to the peach orchard.

Fortunately, the narrow stone house used to see the garden in the original peach orchard can still live in people, and the water source in the upper part of the peach orchard, which was originally used to irrigate the peach orchard, is still clear and sufficient, so there is no problem for Hong Yu to drink, and even some small wild fish can be fished.

It's just that there is no electricity on the mountain, but fortunately, in the past few days, Hong Yu is generally tired and falls asleep at night, but he doesn't feel awkward.

……

A spring rain descended before I knew it.

After the spring rain of the peach orchard that finally cleared the grass, although it was a little muddy, it exuded a good smell of earth.

As soon as the sky was bright, Hong Yu pushed open the wooden door of the stone house, and after preparing to lead the rhubarb to inspect the neat and tidy peach orchard, he went down the mountain to the town to buy some nutrient solution to mark the peach trees, and then waited for the peach blossoms to bloom, and when pollinating, Hong Yu was ready to contact to see if he could buy a few boxes of bees, otherwise more than a dozen acres of peach trees, relying on Hong Yu's own words, would definitely not be busy.

However, when Hong Yu opened the wooden door, he was surprised to find that there was a white-bearded old man with a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, but wearing a strange gray-white clean robe, with dust on his arm, white hair, and even a white beard.

"Uh...... You are? ”

Hong Yu, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, was obviously stunned when he saw the uninvited guest in front of him.

You must know that although this black mountain depression is not far from the village, there are many mountains and few places here, and few people come on weekdays, not to mention, the person in front of him is not only raw, but also dressed so strangely.

Who knows, after hearing Hong Yu's words, the white-bearded old man actually stroked his beard and smiled, "The old man is too platinum star......

"What? Too...... Too platinum star? Hong Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he was scorched by the old man's title.

Hong Yu's first thought was that this old man was definitely a psychopath!

If there are really immortals in this world, then how can it be the turn of mortals to govern?

"Ahem, that, this old ...... Sir, if you're hungry, I still have two white-flour steamed buns in this house, but the only dishes left are pickles...... If you don't like it, then you can go down the mountain along the trail in front of you to our village, and I happen to be down the mountain too, you can go to my house, and I can make you a delicious ......."

Hong Yu said with a smile, but Hong Yu had already regarded the old man in front of him as a poor old man who was in bad spirits and separated from his family, and Hong Yu even thought that he would ask the old man later, and if he still knew the news from home, he would help him contact his family.

Who knows, before Hong Yu could speak, the old man on the other side seemed to see through his inner thoughts, stroked his beard, waved the dust in his hand, and pointed to the peach orchard behind the stone house and smiled.

"Hehe, young man, if you really want to help the old man, you might as well manage the peach orchard in front of you is the biggest help to the old man......"

Hong Yu subconsciously looked back along the old man's fingers, and suddenly opened his mouth wide in shock.

Because, I haven't seen it overnight, and yesterday it was a sick peach tree, today it seems to have collectively applied a catalyst, not only growing a large knot, but also full of lush pink peach blossoms!
