It is indeed a very good idea to plant melons and fruits in the open space between the fruit trees, and the citrus blossoms are not as eye-catching as cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and pear blossoms, and they have their own unique fragrance that can be smelled from a long distance and are not particularly ornamental.

And as the fifth uncle said, the fruit ripening season of the citrus book is ten in autumn and winter, and the melons under the forest from planting to harvest stage is relatively short, take watermelon as an example, the watermelon harvest season is also in summer to autumn, as long as the soil fertility is good, there is no impact on the growth of citrus trees, Liu Yi has a "special fertilizer" in his hand, and the least thing he worries about should be that the soil fertility can not keep up with the demand of fruit trees.

However, other types of fruit trees are not suitable for interplanting melon plants, and many fruit trees are like peaches, plums, pears, apples, and loquats that can ripen in summer...... Wait.

The fifth uncle suggested to Liu Yi: "I think we have the most citrus trees planted in our orchard, so we can use all the citrus trees, so the area is not small, I estimate that there may be 5 or 600 acres of land." ”

"Then you see, what kind of melons are more suitable to plant under our citrus trees?" Liu Yi asked the fifth uncle for advice.

"There are many of these, I think the most important thing is to take watermelon as the first, and then plant some mixed varieties such as melon, gourd, reticulated melon, vegetable melon, gourd, and pumpkin. At the edge of the orchard, we can also grow melons that need to be racked, such as cucumbers, winter melons, bitter melons, loofahs, etc.! The fifth uncle said that he was very up, and he said a lot of names to Liu Yi for a while, and Liu Yi's head was big when he heard it.

It's really a champion in the line and learning everywhere. Unexpectedly, the fifth uncle, who has always been honest, really can't see these opinions when he talks about them. Liu Yi had heard of the orchard intercropping model, but he never thought that his orchard could do the same.

However, these melon and fruit seedlings stumped Liu Yi, and the melon seedlings used as fruits should be easier to find, and they can be done with a phone call from Boss Liu of the prosperous seedlings, but these large quantities of vegetable seedlings are still troublesome.

According to the results of Liu Yi and his fifth uncle's discussion, 350 acres of watermelons were planted according to an area of 500 acres, and the rest were left to grow other melons.

Dialing Liu Changsheng and Boss Liu's phone, Liu Yi went straight to the point and explained to Boss Liu about planting watermelons and other fruits and melons. As Liu Yi thought at first, Boss Liu has a complete variety of fruit melon seedlings, but there are no vegetable seedlings.

Liu Yi had no choice but to retreat and introduce to Boss Liu on the phone how much land area of melon seedlings to buy. The last thing is to negotiate the price. Liu Yi doesn't have to take care of other things, there is still a one-stop service, including door-to-door delivery, melon seedling planting, and replanting after the diseased and residual melon seedlings.

The matter here is over, and Liu Yi doesn't plan to find anyone else to take action about the vegetable seedlings. It's better to do it yourself! There are seeds soaked in "special fertilizers", which are quite sharp. It's no worse than the high-tech new varieties of seeds sold outside.

If it weren't for the fact that there had never been other melon and fruit breeding seedlings. Liu Yihai really wanted to do everything without asking for anyone to do it alone, that is, in order to avoid shocking the world, Liu Yi gave up this tempting idea after thinking about it!

After implementing the interplanting of melons with citrus trees in the orchard this time, Liu Yi saw that it was almost noon and went back with his fifth uncle and fourth brother. But I didn't take a few steps, and the phone ringing in my pocket fluttered out the song "You are my beloved girl".

Picked up the phone and saw that it was Su Bo calling, he would be in Shancheng University for a while, and he hadn't been in touch recently, and I didn't know how he was now, so he quickly picked up the phone, and only heard Su Bo's thick voice from the other end:

"Koyanagi, have you been stealing fun in the village lately?"

One sentence was said by Liu Yiyun and the mountains were foggy, but knowing that Su Bo still had nothing to say, he simply listened to him and continued. Sure enough, seeing that Liu Yi didn't speak, he continued:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but now I'm quite calm! I heard Professor Qi say that there are a lot of tourists in your village during this period of time, and the villagers in the village have made a lot of money, and they are all happy all day long! ”

"This is nothing, it should be within your old expectations, but the Internet is really popular, and we have also established a website similar to the promotion of mountain village scenery, and now there are tens of thousands of hits every day." Liu Yi said this, which was quite confident.

"That's good, it's still your kid's nimble head. But you can't be in the village for a few days, didn't you tell you last year to ask you to come to the Department of Agronomy of Yamashiro University, two days will be the day of reporting, don't forget! ”

"Ah, school will start in two days? Then I can't go to school, there are still a lot of things that need to be done in this village! Liu Yi pretended to be pitiful on the phone.

"I have long said good things, how can you regret it now! If the mountain village leaves you, it won't run, and the villagers will only have a good life, don't think too highly of yourself and belittle others to worthless. ”

After speaking, he immediately continued: "Many things should be put down without hesitation, and you can stand on a higher platform in the future, at that time, you will find that the previous practice is not scientific at all, and what you do is half the effort, and you will regret it at that time, I will drag you out of the quagmire early now for your own good!" ”

Su Bo has a very firm position on this matter, and after refuting Liu Yi's words, he explained a lot of truths to him seriously, it seems that for Liu Yi, he is not an ordinary concern, and he really treats Liu Yi as a nephew, Liu Yi knows this, and he also respects Su Bo more and more.

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you, when will the university start, I'll go ahead of schedule!" Liu Yi said silently.

"That's right! But there are still 2 or 3 days, during this time you can arrange all kinds of things in the village, and besides, calling you to study is not to keep you in the small courtyard all the time, you can ask for leave to go home if you have an emergency! ”

"Oh, I see."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Liu Yi suddenly realized that Su Bo was not a leader in the agricultural industry, and he didn't know some specific precautions for planting melons in fruit trees now, so it was really stupid not to ask.

So he immediately described the opinions of his fifth uncle Dong Shangzhi to Su Bo again on the phone.

Su Bo listened very carefully on the phone, and after listening to Liu Yi's speech, he couldn't help but praise: "Your fifth uncle's idea is very good, interplanting melons and fruits, interplanting vegetables and even interplanting medicinal materials in the forest are relatively novel methods at present, and the content of science and technology is relatively high, and the varieties of fruit trees and interplanted crops must not interfere with each other, including the impact of plant growth and harvesting on each other." ”

At this point, I heard the voice on the other end of the phone like taking a sip of water, and then Suber continued: "It is completely feasible to interplant watermelons under citrus trees that you just told me, and you have also analyzed that the harvest period of watermelons is earlier than that of citrus, and the attributes of each other do not interfere with each other during the growth period, and a delicate balance can be reached for planting. ”

"However, when planting melon seedlings, we must pay attention to controlling the intermittent melon seedlings, only sparse and not too dense, it is originally planted under the forest, and if it is too dense, many vines will be entwined together, which is not conducive to the lighting and ventilation of the watermelon in the future, you must remember it......"

Su Bo is worthy of being a real expert-level master of agriculture, and he can put forward a lot of real and valuable opinions with just a short phone call from Yu Liuyi, and even the fifth uncle on the side can't help but be a little ecstatic after listening to it, just like the younger generation meets the idol in their minds.

After the last moment, Su Bo reminded Liu Yi again: "If you have any questions, you can come to me, but you must explain what you should do in the village as soon as possible, you come to me tomorrow, and I have some information to give you." ”

"Well, it's good, just like that, Su Bo will see you again!" After speaking, Liu Yi hung up the phone.

"Auntie, Liu Yi is going to college tomorrow!" As soon as the fourth brother returned home, he told Liu Yi's mother about the phone call between Liu Yi and Su Bo.

Liu Yi's mother was serving the food at the time, and she was happy when she heard the fourth brother's words: "Hehe, good!" When his father was alive, he said that he missed the opportunity to let the second baby go to college, and now God blesses, maybe it is the second baby and his father who helped the child realize his dream in the spirit of heaven! ”

The more the mother spoke, the more excited she became, and at the end of the day, two lines of tears fell down her cheeks in a string. Liu Yi was distressed and immediately went over: "Mom, isn't this a happy thing, why are you crying?" ”

The mother hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and replied to Liu Yi: "Aren't I happy, if your father is still hearing the news, I don't know how happy Lu Dao is!" ”

"Mom, okay, so many people are watching, I want to wait for the Qingming Festival to pay homage to him, and let him know that I went to college, built a new house, and went back to my hometown to do so many things, and I didn't embarrass him!"

"Yes, yes, you should go, when the time comes, call our whole family to go, and let him see the changes in our family!"

Everyone looked at Liu Yi and his mother, and some migrant workers and students also felt sorry for Liu Yi that his father died too early to enjoy happiness, and some migrant workers and students left tears for the moving scene they saw in front of them.

Even the uncle was silently nagging on the side: "Boss, your second baby is out, and the whole village is relying on him, and they all hope that he will point out a way to get rich and lead everyone to a happy life......

The uncle himself is more than 20 years older than his father, and among their siblings, he has always played the role of father and brother, and his father was also brought up by him, so he has indescribable feelings for his father.

Don't you talk about these sad things, Liu Yi is about to go to college, this is a good thing, a great thing! (To be continued......)
