Chapter Fifty-Three: The North Face of the Great Green Mountain

There are not many people left in Banyan Village. โ—ข With โ—ข Dream โ—ข Xiao โ—ข said that ะฉั‰ัˆlฤ was reluctant in the end, and also stayed in the village, but counting, there are really few families. With such a large area of Daqing Mountain, no matter how much you fight, there is still something left.

"Want to go north?" Grandpa Da Zhuang saw Guoguo's thoughts.

"Hmm. I always felt that the grass and trees could grow so lush before, and they should be able to grow things. Guoguo nodded.

Because everyone had picked up charcoal or something, they had cut down almost all the wood left in the fire, but there were still traces of black or brand new. The green grass did not hide it, and from a distance, the green was mixed with black, but it was much more vivid than all green.

Grandpa Da Zhuang stopped talking, and only carried a shovel in front to lead the way. Life is rare for seventy years, although it has passed the age of sixties, but the grandfather is still energetic and is a good hand in the field.

Da Zhuang and Quansheng also carried the guys to follow. Both of them were somewhat excited in their hearts, grandpa is like this, it is estimated that he has approved the cultivation of medicinal materials.

Turning over the ridge, the steepness of the north side is not very obvious, but it is much wider from the undulating mountains than the south side. Without the dense fallen leaves and grass to cover her, Guoguo found that she really stepped on stones from time to time. When I picked it up, it was a thin kind of shale, not big and fragile, but it really affected the crops.

"I see." She crouched down to take a closer look, and saw that the ground was covered with such rubble. "It turns out that this is a shale formation, and it's all mine."

"What are they?" Da Zhuang asked curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are so many gravel here, if you don't grow crops, can you grow other things? Dig and dig to see, the soil is thick. Guoguo handed the shovel back to Da Zhuang.

"It's just that it's hard to cultivate." Grandpa Da Zhuang seems to have known for a long time.

Da Zhuang and Quansheng went down with a shovel by one person, and the gray soil layer below was quite solid.

"Good soil, you can grow medicinal herbs, and you can also grow fruit trees." Guoguo praised, "We don't necessarily have to dig these fields as flat as fields, and we can grow a lot of things." โ€

"You think this is the right place?"

"Trees can grow so well before, and fruit trees can grow well with snacks."

"What do we eat when we plant fruit trees?"

"Buy fruit for food!"

"Nonsense! Who are you selling to? Where can it be sold? โ€

"You can plant it first, find what you find, and we'll talk about that later. Grandpa Zhuang, I know what you want to say, but if you don't plant again, it will be difficult to live, maybe there will be a drought this year, and watering will be a problem at that time. Guo Guo said sternly, "Perhaps, this land is even more useful." โ€

Qingshu opened his mouth and finally spoke: "But Guoguo, we don't have fruit seedlings." โ€

"Looking for it, such a big green mountain, it will grow if it is burned, right? What's more, you see, over there, isn't it not burning? Although it is a little farther away, we can go over and see that the suitable wood species can be moved back to plant. Guoguo began to be nervous again.

Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes at her, feeling unrealistic.

"Don't believe me? Now, Brother Zhuang, Quansheng, do you recognize some saplings? Tell me what you see later, don't go far, let's just look for this one, find something, if it's appropriate, move over here and plant a piece, just try to find it for a while, okay? Guoguo gestured with his hand and drew a rough range. Everyone looked at each other, but they still went their separate ways.

"Guoguo, do you want the camphor tree?"

"Where's the jujube?"

"Grandpa, this is a red bean shirt, right?"

"Guoguo, is this the chestnut you are talking about? There weren't many leaves left, so I didn't recognize them. โ€

Suddenly, Da Zhuang asked, "Grandpa, do you think this is Nanmu?" โ€

"Kusunoki?" Guoguo was pleasantly surprised, "I'll take a look." โ€

Guoguo and Grandpa Da Zhuang both gathered around, "It's still small, I can't see it, don't touch it yet." Have you ever produced a nanmu before? โ€

"Just ask your father, there are many tree species in this Daqing Mountain, and there are also golden silk nan! But I'm old and don't recognize me very much, and your dad must know him. Grandpa Da Zhuang said.

"yes, why did you forget that your father was a carpenter." Guoguo patted her head.

After a while, Qingshu looked at the trees that had been moved into rows and rows, and the ground where a hole was dug in the east and dug a hole in the west, and he was a little speechless: "Guoguo, is this any different from the trees that grew before?" โ€

"Yes. In the past, trees grew at will, but now we leave what we want, and pull out what we don't want. If you plant it like this, it will grow faster. โ€

"But it's still too slow. Ten years of tree cultivation, when will it be planted? "Aoki didn't just complain.

Guoguo nodded: "Yes, this method is very stupid, but it's not that there is nothing to plant now, let's try to choose fruit trees and useful tree species." When something is planted, you can stop planting trees. What's more, now that the tree has been planted, it will be initially large-scale by the end of the year, and you can raise chickens under the tree at that time. In short, it can be developed. โ€

Grandpa Da Zhuang shook his head, sighed, and left. Didn't say anything.

Da Zhuang looked at it and nodded to Guoguo: "Let's go back too." โ€

Guoguo patted the dirt on her hands and nodded.

When he got home, Liang came out with water and washed his hands for the two: "I knew I couldn't stop you." Can't you just stay good? โ€

Guoguo had to work hard to compensate for the smile. After washing his hands, he looked at the sweet potato seedlings in the yard again, and decided to apply some plant ash tomorrow to increase fertility.

After eating, Cao'er came to pull the fruit: "Let's go to the pond and have a look." โ€

"Okay." Guoguo didn't doubt him, and readily agreed, how was the fish in the pond, she also wanted to know. He brought a small sickle and said to Liang, "Mother, let's go and cut some grass for the fish." โ€

"It's getting dark, come back early." Liang said in the kitchen.

The two answered, carried a basket and went out.

When he saw Da Zhuang sitting on the ridge of the field, biting the grass roots boringly, Guoguo laughed evilly: "Oh. So that's it, say, when did you make an appointment? This moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk. Why do you call me? โ€

Cao'er's face turned red at the amusement, and Da Zhuang smirked blindly.

Seeing the two of them like this, Guoguo felt bored: "Okay, you guys hurry up, I'll go mowing the grass." โ€

"Guoguo, I've already cut it for you just now." Da Zhuang said and pointed to the pond, where there were still many thin green grasses floating on the water.

"Okay, I'll go find Brother Shi, you guys talk, don't let people see it." Although they are engaged, it is better not to be rumored.

"Guoguo." Cao'er was a little reluctant and a little timid.

"I'm here, you two probably don't have to speak. I also happened to have something to find Brother Shi. Guoguo put down the basket and sickle and turned back, and the Shi family was still in the same place, not very far from the pond.

It was already dark, and the Shi family had just started to have dinner, and the family of the two was very deserted. Guoguo didn't come for a few days, and there were a few more bundles of firewood in the yard.

"Brother Shi, do you know how to smelt iron ore?" Helping Shi Lei clean up, Guoguo asked casually.
