Chapter 309: Rambutan

Turning over the hills, Le Lang looked down at Kukeng Village from above, the topography of Kukeng Village is like a small boat, with mountains on both sides, slightly warped at both ends, the sun rises from the other end of the boat, and slowly sinks in the stern, year after year. When the mountains and rivers come, the water will gather in the middle from all sides and accumulate into a mountain pond, so in the past, Kukeng Village would always be flooded.

Now a large lake has been dug in the middle, and it looks much flatter in the middle, and next to the big lake, the jagged houses are stacked on top of each other, which looks like a strange beauty.

It was almost noon, some old farmers who had returned from the field with buckets and hoes came from the fields, their faces full of the vicissitudes and helplessness of the years, and they saw familiar people greeting each other. Outside the village, a group of children who had returned from school frolicked home. The number of people in mountain villages is too small, and it is usually only a few villages to have a primary school, and some villages in mountain villages are far away from schools, and some children have to walk two or three kilometers or more to go to school. Kukeng Village is a little better, there is a primary school over two small hills, and it doesn't take half an hour to ride a bicycle around.

Le Lang walked down, and the old houses next to him exuded a smell of vicissitudes, most of which were built in the seventies and eighties, and some were even adobe houses earlier, with peeling exterior walls, messy and broken roof tiles, and rotten wooden beams abounding. In the neighborhood, Kukeng Village is considered the poorest, without even a three-story building. But Lelang believes that in the future, there should be buildings breaking ground here.

Not far away, an old house was being renovated, and the sky was full of dust, and the noise of men working was incessant.

"National, what about this pomegranate?"

"Cut it, cut it, it doesn't grow pomegranates, what's the use of planting it, cut it, buy some osmanthus flowers to plant another day."

"What about this one?"

"I don't want that rambutan anymore, I haven't grown any fruit after planting it for so many years, it's almost dying, so I dug it up and threw it away."

Le Lang heard the voice and walked over curiously.

The houses in the old house are scattered, the streets and alleys are twisted and turned, and there are no rules. Walking through an alley, I came inside, only to see the chaotic sound of construction coming from inside. Walking over, Le Lang saw a large number of people inside, uncovering tiles and shoveling soil, busy and happy.

Le Lang took a look, but found many acquaintances. After he asked the people in Kukeng Village to plant bananas, he often came to see the bananas, so he also got to know some villagers in Kukeng Village.

"National," Le Lang greeted the man in the middle who was directing everyone's work. The people are also one of the people who planted bananas for him, and this year he sold bananas and saved a little money and wanted to turn over the house, otherwise when it was windy and rainy, it would always leak and some tiles on the roof tiles would keep falling.

When the people heard someone calling, they turned around and saw that it was Le Lang, and nodded with a smile: "Come and see the bananas again?" ”

"Well, do you want to build a building? Congratulations. ”

"How can there be so much money, it is to renovate the old house, some places used to be made of adobe, and now we can rebuild it, otherwise some of the walls will crack and crack, and maybe one day they will collapse." Come, let's go over there for tea, there's a lot of dust here. With that, he pulled Le Lang and walked outside.

At this moment, a middle-aged man came over with an axe and said to the people: "People, are you going to cut down?" ”

"It's chopped, it's useless to keep it." The people waved their hands and said.

"Cut what?" Le Lang asked.

"The two fruit trees over there have been planted for a long time and have not grown fruit, and I think they are also white seeds, so I want to cut down these two trees and plant some osmanthus or something, which is better than this."

The man listened to the words of the people and was about to cut down the tree with an axe, Le Lang looked over, and saw a thigh-thick pomegranate planted next to the door, I don't know how many years it had been planted, and the one next to it was slightly thicker than a calf. Le Lang saw that the man was about to cut down the tree when he picked up the axe, so he hurriedly drank it and said to the people: "It's a pity that such a big pomegranate is chopped, if you don't want it, why don't you sell it to me, I'll take it back and plant it in the backyard, it's good to look at it." ”

"If you say anything, you can take it if you want, it's useless for me to keep it." The people glared when they heard this, and said that when they saw that Le Lang wanted this tree, they went inside and took a hoe to dig it, and Le Lang also took a hoe and dug it. Two or three people worked together, and in a few strokes they dug up the tree. Seeing that Lelang liked fruit trees, the people were very enthusiastic to help Lelang dig out another rambutan tree, and also helped him call a car to send it back. Le Lang saw it and thanked him.

picked up a motorcycle at Zhenxin's house, politely refused Zhenxin's wife's request to stay for dinner, and returned home with the pickup truck. Back at home, the driver of the small truck helped Lelang unload the fruit trees and was about to go back, no matter how politely Lelang kept him for dinner, Lelang couldn't see it, so he took two bottles of bananas from it and gave them to him. He also knew that Lelang specialized in winemaking, so he accepted it unceremoniously, and then drove away.

It was already noon, Le Lang took a pot of space water in Jade Ruyi from it and sprinkled it on the two trees, moistened the tree, and then put it away, and then planted the tree after eating.

After finishing it, he went in and washed his face, and when he came outside, San Lang had already gathered around the table to eat, and when he saw it, he said, "Uncle Ah Lang is eating." And he continued to fight.

"Where did those two trees go to dig them, those pomegranate trees are so big, I haven't seen them before?" Shaoqing gave Le Lang a bowl of rice, put it in front of him and asked.

Le Lang was digging trees and carrying them just now, his stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and he was picking up food in his mouth, and he didn't answer Shaoqing's words. After picking up a bowl of rice and drinking a bowl of soup, he said: "Kukeng Village dug it, people don't want to build a house, so I picked it up." A pomegranate and a rambutan, I heard that it does not grow fruit, so I took it back and looked at it. ”

"Rambutan, is it the kind of rambutan with a skin like thorns?" Shaoqing asked.

"Well, it should be like that." Lelang doesn't know if it's or not, but it's called rambutan, so it should be.

"That kind of rambutan is not delicious at all, it is much more unpalatable than lychee longan, and there is no moisture, but it is a little more delicious when canned, and I prefer to eat that kind of canned food." In the past, when people got married, the last sweet soup was made with rambutan, Shaoqing was a girl, and she went to serve a plate when her relatives got married, and she ate a lot of rambutan.

"Now canned food and the like are put in a lot of chemical raw materials, which is not very healthy to eat, but it is still fresh." Le Lang listened and hit her.

"Now there are no chemical raw materials for anything, haven't you watched TV, and the rice is all bleached. Powder bleaching, some also add spices, flavors, vegetables and fruits are piled out with a large pile of pesticides, hormones, we have someone used, originally a small banana sprayed with hormone medicine, it has grown more than doubled, and milk, what melamine contains, eggs and fake, chickens, ducks, cows, sheep and pigs will also cause avian influenza and foot-and-mouth disease, even the tap water is not clean, are used a lot of drugs and bleaching. Powder bleached. Shaoqing said to him angrily like a white wave.

Le Lang thought about it, it felt like this, but the loser did not lose the battle, the loser was a taro sweet potato noodle, and said stiffly: "Wife, if I talk to you like this, I can't eat anything." ”

"How do I know, it's okay if what we eat is okay anyway. I don't know how Qiu Xue lives in the city, it's terrifying to hear those news reports, and even the gutter oil is recycled and sold in the market, it's disgusting to think about it. ”

"Okay, okay, wife, if you keep talking, it's not that others are disgusting, it's me who is disgusting."

"That's what TV reports." Shaoqing said confidently.

"Sister Shaoqing, it was said on TV that you should drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables." When San Lang heard the TV report, he raised his head and said to Shaoqing.

"Well, what San Lang said is awesome, come, my sister will serve you vegetables." As he spoke, Shaoqing put a large pile of wild vegetables into the bowl for San Lang.

Who would know that San Lang didn't appreciate it, frowned and muttered the little chubby face urn and said angrily: "Sister Shaoqing, I like to eat meat." ”

Listening to San Lang's words, Shaoqing's face suddenly turned black, and Le Lang couldn't help laughing.

After eating and resting, Lelang moved in the pomegranate tree and rambutan tree placed at the door. Although the pomegranate is thigh-thick and four or five meters tall, it is obviously small and drizzly for Lelang.

Came to the backyard, dug a pit, planted the pomegranate by the pond, planted the rambutan by the wall, poured the spring water taken out of the jade Ruyi space, and saw that there seemed to be nothing wrong, Le Lang took the rocking chair in the front yard to the gazebo, made a cup of osmanthus tea, and drank it in the pavilion, while tasting the mulberries picked.

This year's mulberries are a bumper harvest, in addition to taking some to give away and keep for himself to eat, the rest are stored in the jade Ruyi space, and are kept until the end of the year to brew fruit wine.

In the backyard, a bunch of vegetables is pleasantly green, and occasionally one or two papaya trees are planted on the vegetable furrow, and the papaya trees are full of fruits, some of which have turned yellow on the surface. Sesame, mung beans, edamame has grown tall, edamame looks like it can be eaten, the peanuts on one side are growing gratifying, you can dig it in a few days, you can also plant a season after digging, in the south is this good, some things can be planted for two seasons, but I heard that in Hainan or some places in the tropics can be planted for three seasons or even four seasons.

The wall on one side is covered with grape vines, and the bunches of grapes are hanging down, with a full harvest joy, and a melon shed in the corner of the wall bears pumpkins, but they look very tender, and it seems that they have not yet ripened for the season. A few turkeys could not tolerate the exposure of the sun in the sky and hid under the melon shed. ~！
