Chapter 26: Fruit Trees

Flowers are also planted, there are fruit trees, but like other vegetables and flowers, after all, it is summer, there are many restrictions, you can't think about what to plant, you can only choose some fruit trees suitable for summer planting, this point we are really not familiar with at all, the husband is farming from the beginning, he is very familiar with the field, and knows what should be planted and what should not be planted in this season.

So, we had to ask the vendors, it was summer when there were still these sellers, and we searched for a long time before we heard that there were fruit farmers on the outskirts of the city, and we hurried to the outskirts of the city.

The suburbs of the city are far away, so I had to hire a carriage to come, it was a very remote place, I was disgusted by the bumps, and the scorching sun shone on my head, when I arrived at the outskirts of the city, my whole person was dizzy, and my husband's appearance was not much better, but it was finally here.

The village is not big, but it should be a village for a long time, it looks very shabby, it is not as dry as Pengyang Village near the lake, after knocking on the first door, a sixty-year-old woman came out.

"Do you sell fruit trees here?" I said.

The old woman looked us up and down for a long time, which made me very uncomfortable, and I wanted to leave, but she pulled the door open and went out of the house, and led the way in front of her, saying, "Come with me!" ”

Now that the words have been spoken, it is really not good to regret it, we walked with her, and after a while, we went to a forest, which was full of low fruit trees, and there were apples hanging on them, although they were not red now, but some were round, and some were heart-shaped, not to mention how cute they were, not to mention how much I love to eat apples, I secretly swallowed my saliva, pulled the sleeve of Lafujun and said: "Husband, let's buy apple trees, pull them over to ensure that they are delicious!" ”

I was a little excited to say it, and when I took a bite of the crisp apple, the sweet apple juice entered the stomach, which was not too wonderful~

"Two taels of a fruit tree." The old woman said.

Two by two! It's too dark, I frowned: "Auntie, you give a real price!" ”

The old woman said: "I am a suburb of Jingzhou City, you should know how far it is to the city, and it is summer, I have to help you protect the roots of the fruit tree, it is very troublesome!" ”

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the sun above her head: "In this weather, my fruit trees on the ground are watered from time to time, let alone uproot and transport them over!" ”

This day is really inconvenient, I suddenly thought of Uncle Xu, he can come to help at night, that won't save trouble~

"Can the apple tree survive now when transplanted into our Zhuangzi?" The husband asked.

The old woman looked at her husband impatiently and said, "Why are you such an ink blot, I have planted fruit trees here all my life, I still don't understand?" ”

"How much silver do you need to carry?" Husband Jun Dao.

"Five hundred coppers per tree~" the old woman said.

"Let's get one first, and then pick it up at night." I said.

Xu is a tree that can't enter the old woman's eyes, she is a little disdainful, but she immediately stretched out her hand to ask for the silver, and told us to wait until the evening to call her, don't take more.

When it was evening, we called Uncle Xu out, and he sighed: "I still haven't hidden~"

The old woman was called out, and under her watchful eye, we chose a fruit tree and carried it out, lest we come alone, the old woman was a little puzzled and asked, "You guys, are you going to carry it away?" ”

We nodded, and there was an incredible look on her face.

Waited for a while, until we couldn't see anyone around, we hugged our husband, called Uncle Xu, and flew with us again, this time, we were not afraid at all, the feeling of flying was so good, especially in summer, it was the season when even the wind was hot, but Uncle Xu flew fast, and it was high in the air, the air around him was cool and humid, just like the taste after the rain, but there was less earthy smell and more cool~

After all, the road is far away, and when he arrived in Pengyang Village, Uncle Xu was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and sure enough, this time he was tired, and he didn't even bother to speak, and I saw him tired like this, so I poured some water for him and asked him to go back to rest first, but he didn't let him, and went back with his floating.

Although we are tired after a busy day, this fruit tree must go to the ground immediately, and we are afraid that it will be seedling, but fortunately there is only one tree, otherwise, it is really tiring to death~

After planting the fruit tree, we went back to the house, and when we woke up the next day, my husband and I couldn't wait to run to the fruit tree, but found that something was wrong, yesterday I saw it was still "vibrant", but now look at it, the leaves have turned a lot yellow, and some apples that are still glowing green have fallen on the ground, only one night, why is this?

It just so happened that the aquatic brothers came, they came today to see if there was any work, it was better to come early than to come by coincidence, if there was a savior coming, we were busy pulling the two of them to the tree, wanting them to see, the aquatic wood looked around the fruit tree for a long time, and finally the aquatic frowned and said: "It seems that it will not work~"

I hurriedly said, "Naturally, it's about to fail, so is there a way?" ”

The two of them shook their heads in unison: "I don't understand this ......, if you want to talk about farming, we still know a little bit, where have the fruit trees been planted?" ”

"Who planted this fruit tree in the village?" I asked.

Shui Sheng still shook his head: "No, we mainly fish here for a living......"

"That's right, go find Mrs. Li!" I tugged on my husband's sleeve and said, "I heard that Mrs. Li's husband is a scholar, maybe he has a way!" ”

"She~" When the two of them heard Li Niangzi, their faces were a little disgusted, and then they closed their mouths, I naturally understood what they meant, although Li Niangzi was gentle and weak, but when she spoke, it seemed that her eyes were above the top, but she was also exposed to it, and I didn't think she was a bad person.

Fortunately, I live here, and it is very close to Li Niangzi's house, and I walked a hundred and ten steps out of Zhuangzi to Li Niangzi's house, and this time I was used to it, so I called her out and told her about the situation.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li frowned: "I don't understand either, although there used to be a lot of them at home~"

I smiled and said, "I heard that my sister-in-law's father-in-law is a scholar, can you help me ask him if he understands?" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Li's smile was a little solidified, maybe there was something unspeakable, so I didn't bother, so I arched my hand to Mrs. Li and said, "Then I won't bother~"

Who knew that Mrs. Li said: "Then please wait for a while~"

Saying that, she "pedaled" back to the room, and after a while, she came out, but there was no one behind her, I was wondering, but Mrs. Li opened the door and said to us: "Sister, please come in." ”

This sudden change made me a little overwhelmed, and when I entered the courtyard, I guessed one or two.

The Li family, which looked very decent from the outside, only to know that it was a thousand miles away when they entered the gate~

In the middle is a dilapidated thatched hut, the thatch on it looks sparse, not to mention the rain, even the wind can't stop it, and then look at the thatched hut, it is a little tilted, crumbling as if a gust of wind can blow down.

In the courtyard is a half-broken water tank, there is a wooden basin stacked on the wooden basin, which is soaked in patched clothes at a glance, I only then knew that Li Niangzi's family is so difficult, but Li Niangzi is dressed on weekdays can not be seen, no wonder she does not let us in.

Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed to move out two small stools, this small stool was at most a foot high, and it was uncomfortable to curl up when she sat down, it could be seen that she was a well-mannered person, busy coming and going, but she couldn't get anything to love, and in the end, she only served two bowls of water, and the edge of the bowl had been broken, revealing a sharp arc.

At this time, I didn't drink it a little bit of Li Niangzi's face, I took a sip, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious, looking around, there is no well here, it seems that it is also from the back mountain spring water, I praised: "This water is so sweet." ”

Mrs. Li seemed to be particularly happy, and added another bowl to me: "Yes, the spring water in the back mountain." ”

As she spoke, she looked into the house from time to time, and after half a pillar of incense, when my husband and I were about to say goodbye, Mrs. Li's father-in-law came out slowly.

He was very thin, with a mustache, looking a little like a mouse, and at first glance he was a shrewd person, looking at us with half-squinted eyes: "The Zhuangzi over there is yours?" ”

I nodded, returned to the subject, looked at his leftists, and as a sign of respect, I said, "Sir, can you go and see what is going on with my fruit tree?" ”

Hearing me call me the word "sir", Mrs. Li's husband seemed to be very useful, and gradually had a smile on his face, and arched his hand to me and my husband: "The two are polite, just call Li Mou Wenru~"

He walked steadily, not in a hurry, it was really a bit of an official's style, but I was in a hurry, and finally arrived in the Zhuangzi, he looked at the fruit tree, stroked the few whiskers and said: "This apple tree is not suitable for planting in summer, let alone such a long distance~"

Li Wenru looked at the leaves carefully, picked an insect from the leaf, and handed it to us: "This fruit tree already has insects, you can carry it out!" ”

We hurriedly carried it out again, and Li Wenru let us burn it again, so as not to survive this fruit worm, it seems that Li Wenru does have a lot of ink in his stomach, and my husband and I went to ask what fruit trees should be planted at this time.

Li Wenru said: "It stands to reason that this season is not the time for planting, but this book says that pear trees, dates, plums, and apricots can also be planted, and they are easy to live. ”

Sure enough, there was still someone to know, and my husband and I immediately had a direction and were ready to buy these fruit trees.

Li Wenru grabbed her husband and said slowly: "Wait, I haven't finished talking yet!" ”

Hey, this scholar is tired of talking, just now he said slowly, I thought it was over, but Li Wenru is kind, I am naturally grateful, but no matter how fast it is, I won't rush~

"The fruit trees you bring back must have more soil on the roots, so that the roots can be less damaged."

My husband and I nodded and there is really a lot of knowledge in it, we are just about to act, Li Wenru said.
