Zhang Taiping did not hurt the snake, in the mountains and forests, Zhang Taiping tried his best to hold the animal and not offend me, and I did not offend the principle of animals.

Continue digging up the thicker bamboos, which are not placed in the space but piled aside, ready to be transported back and planted at the edge of the orchard.

It didn't take long for Cai Yazhi to come over. When she woke up, she didn't see Zhang Taiping, so she thought that she might be digging bamboo here. So the car came here too, put the car under the hillside, and went up to the hillside himself.

"Are you feeling better?" Zhang Taiping saw her come up and asked.

Cai Yazhi nodded and made a gesture that was not okay at all.

Zhang Taiping didn't have any problem judging from her face, but he still came to her and touched her forehead with his forehead to feel the temperature on her body, which was a little lower than his own, cool like a piece of jade, so he was relieved.

"Go out and wear more clothes in the future, take care of yourself first, you don't have to worry too much here, your body is great, there is no problem with swimming in winter, no matter how thin you are, you don't feel anything."

Cai Yazhi could only nod like a child.

Of course, Zhang Taiping did the work of digging with a shovel. Dig open all the soil at the root of the bamboo, expose the roots, and then prie it up with an iron shovel, and a bamboo with roots will come down. Zhang Taiping is sure to ensure the survival rate of these bamboos, so the requirements for the roots are not very high, as long as the taproot is there, so the speed of soil planing is very fast, and it will be one after a while. When Zhang Taiping was resting halfway, Cai Yazhi saw that Zhang Taiping was doing it easily, and she tried to do it, but she didn't expect that she couldn't pry it off. had to give up, and Anxin was only responsible for cutting off the excess branches and leaves of the bamboo that Zhang Taiping had pried off, and then placing them neatly.

Newly planted plants have a process of changing their roots and adapting to the environment, during which they basically do not grow, and the roots are transported with their roots upwards and much less nutrients and water than before. Therefore, it is necessary to cut off excess branches and leaves, so as to reduce the waste of nutrients and the transpiration of plants, so that consumption and supply can be balanced. This has a high survival rate, and it is easier to transport the bamboo back by cutting it into a bare pole, anyway, it doesn't need to grow into anything this year, and it will grow again in the spring of next year.

The two dug up more than 100 in one morning, and Zhang Taiping alone took a rope and carried several ropes to his shoulders and transported them to the bottom of the hillside, Cai Yazhi also wanted to help resist a few, but was stopped by Zhang Taiping.

The rack car was too small, and it could only pull a dozen at a time, and the two of them pulled back and forth seven or eight times before pulling all of them back.

At noon, Wang Peng learned that Zhang Taiping was going to plant bamboo, so he immediately ran to help. Zhang Taiping's family was still eating, and Wang Peng came.

"Big brother, all those bamboos were dug in the morning? Why don't you call me when you dig bamboo? ”

When Cai Yazhi saw Wang Peng coming in, she quickly got up and went to serve him a bowl of rice. Wang Peng was not polite, he really came to help Zhang Taiping, and he came without even eating after hearing about it.

When Wang Peng sat down with the meal, Zhang Taiping said: "I got up early in the morning, so I didn't call you." ”

"When is the big brother going to dig again?"

"Don't dig for the time being, let's plant these first."

"Where to plant? When do you start drying? ”

"I planted around the orchard in the back valley, and after eating, I began."

"Good Ratcha." When Wang Peng heard that he had started after eating, he began to pick up the bowl and raise his head to eat, and the bowl of rice was solved in less than a minute. Cai Yazhi went to refill another bowl, and he quickly solved it again.

After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Taiping gave Yaya a 20 yuan note: "Yaya, buy two boxes of cigarettes for Dad." ”

Yaya ran out suddenly, and the lion followed her, as if she were Yaya's personal bodyguard.

When Yaya came back, Zhang Taiping carried a box in his pocket and threw the other box to Wang Peng. This is Cai Yazhi also washed the pots and dishes, and the three of them walked towards the orchard in the back valley, with a small tail hanging behind them, followed by two followers Ah Huang and the lion left and right.

The bamboo Zhang Taiping has moved to the upper part of the valley and is waiting to be planted. The reason why it is planted here is because Zhang Taiping has some interest in this small hill in the west, and maybe he will have other ideas in the future, so he will not seal the bamboo planting. The upper edge of the east side is ready to be planted with wild date trees (thorn trees).

Wang Peng is even more anxious than Zhang Taiping, the main family: "How far does the eldest brother plant one?" ”

"It's about a meter apart."

After hearing this, Wang Peng began to dig at the first point designated by Zhang Taiping, and the digging was both large and deep.

"You don't have to dig so deep, just bury the roots of the bamboo to ensure that the bamboo survives. It's too hard for you to dig so big. ”

Wang Peng dug up one again, this time just to cover the roots of his son. Cai Yazhi was responsible for putting the bamboo in the dug pit and supporting it, and Wang Peng filled it with soil. Of course, Zhang Taiping is the hardest and most tiring to carry water, but this work of carrying water from the bottom of the hillside to the top of the hillside is a very heavy job for others, but it is nothing for him.

Zhang Taiping quietly mixed some space spring water into each bucket of water to promote the roots to ensure the survival rate of the bamboo.

If you work hard, you don't feel that time has passed, and it will be evening when the bamboo is planted. But the planting of more than 100 bamboos only encloses the valley by less than a tenth of the length.

"This can't work, it's too slow, I don't know when I'm going to plant it after planting, I still have to find someone to help." Zhang Taiping looked at the bamboo planted in the afternoon and said.

Cai Yazhi didn't understand how to find a few people to help, because she had never found anyone to do anything before. Wang Peng understood: "How many people is the eldest brother looking for?" ”

"The more the merrier, it's best to be able to live this for a day. Let's go to the village chief tonight to discuss and see if he can help find some people. ”

After returning home for dinner, when Wang Peng left, Zhang Taiping took out a hundred yuan and handed it to him.

"Take it, and it will be your salary today."

"Big brother, are you treating me as an outsider?" "I'm here to help you, and I didn't think about asking for money." ”

"I know what you want, but I can't keep you busy like this. Otherwise, what do you want people to think of me? ”

"It doesn't matter what they think, I'm here to help my eldest brother, and if anyone gossips, I'll break his mouth."

"Don't fight and kill all day. It's nothing for you to help me, but think about how your mother's living expenses come from? ”

"I don't want the money anyway."

Zhang Taiping couldn't, so he had to put away the money and said: "Tomorrow I will find some more people to help, and I will give you the salary at that time, if you don't want it, don't come tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then you can give it to me tomorrow, I'm here to help my eldest brother today, and I can't collect money today."

After Wang Peng left, Zhang Taiping put on the clothes prepared by Cai Yazhi and went to the village chief's house. The village chief was having dinner at home, and when he saw Zhang Taiping coming, the village chief pulled Zhang Taiping up to the dinner table.

Zhang Taiping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Hanmin, I have really eaten, you can eat yours, I will come back later." As he spoke, he was about to leave.

The village chief called him to stop, "Then let's get down to business first, let's go to the house." ”

When he arrived at the house, Zhang Taiping was not polite, and went straight to the point: "Uncle Hanmin, my fruit tree will bear fruit next year, and I am ready to manage the orchard." ”

"Orchard? Does this thing really make money? The village chief is still not very confident about the harvest in the orchard.

"Hehe, it's useless for me to give you a guarantee now, the orchard is mainly about management, of course you can make money if you manage it well, if you don't manage it well, you will definitely not make money." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

"I don't know that, as long as you think it can work. So how are you going to manage it? ”

Zhang Taiping said: "The fruit trees will be pruned in a few days, and these days I want to put something around the orchard to block people and animals." Plant some bamboo and wild jujube trees, but one or two people are too tired to plant by themselves, not to mention, and it takes too long, so I came to ask my uncle to help find a few people who are temporarily idle to help. ”

"It's a small thing, no problem, how many people do you want?"

"Well, the more the merrier, and you'll be able to plant one. I don't know what kind of salary my uncle thinks is more appropriate? ”

"What wages don't pay? What kind of wages do the villagers talk about when they do a favor? It's just that you don't need to be paid to find a few people to help you for a day. The old village chief said angrily.

"Uncle, you listen to me first. What I did in the past, do you think anyone would be willing to help me? It's just for the sake of my uncle's face, not to mention whether he is active in work or not, first of all, there must be resentment in his heart. Besides, this kind of thing may happen again in the future, so you can't always let others help for nothing, right? ”

The old village chief didn't speak, and thought for a while: "What you said also makes sense, well, how about thirty a day?" ”

"Thirty?"

"If it's too much, you can drop it a little more."

Zhang Taiping smiled bitterly: "It's not too much, but too little, the least one person I know outside is seventy or eighty a day." ”

"We're different here."

Zhang Taiping had a plastic surgery and said: "Don't say seventy or eighty, it's fifty a day, and I don't want to be too little for the villagers to have any complaints." ”

"Well, whatever you want, as long as you think it's okay, it's also a good thing for the village, now it's winter, there is less work, many people are idle at home and have nothing to do, and no one is unhappy with your fifty a day's wages." So when are you going to ask for someone? ”

"Tomorrow morning."

"Okay, no problem, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning on the loudspeaker, and those who are willing to go will go directly to your house."

Zhang Taiping said: "Then thank you uncle, let you gather at my door before eight o'clock, and forget it after the time." ”

"What do you not thank, but Uncle still wants to thank you, you are doing good deeds for the village."

Zhang Taiping said everything, and was ready to go back: "Then uncle is here, you go to eat quickly, I won't bother." ”

"Well, you can go, there will be such things in the future, just say it."
