Although the tree is planted in the ground, the next work is not easy, it will be watered every few days, more than 1,000 saplings, all up to Zhao Liangsheng and his wife, when can they be watered? Didn't wait for them to water to the end, the previous one should be watered, the two of them only watered for a day and couldn't stand it, like this, not to mention the crops in the field, even the children can't take care of it, what do the people mean to eat, just rely on the crops in the field, don't even pay the public grain when the time comes, the family drinks the northwest wind to live?

The couple walked down the mountain with a bucket of water with a sad face, but today they carried a day's water, except for cooking a meal for the child, they didn't do anything, their shoulders were pressed by the flat burden were bloodstained, and the two of them were put on a thick cloth on their shoulders, so they barely continued to work, so they didn't water the trees on the mountain.

In the evening, Yan Siqin made dinner hastily, and after eating, the two of them didn't care about the children, and lay down on the bed early to rest.

Zhao Liangsheng held his head in his hands, looked at the ceiling and remained motionless, "Morning damn, it can't go on like this, I'll go to the village tomorrow to borrow the water truck." ”

"Go ahead." Yan Siqin turned over and faced Zhao Liangsheng sideways, "It will save a lot of trouble with a water truck, otherwise, we will be tied up by the small hill and we won't be able to do anything." ”

Today is really tired to the extreme, and after a while, the two of them entered the dreamland, and the next morning, after eating, Zhao Liangsheng went to the village committee.

Fang Yongqian had the idea of retiring, and he basically handed over all the things in the village to the village chief, there was nothing important, and he didn't go to the village committee.

When Zhao Liangsheng arrived at the village committee, he pushed the door of the old secretary first, but when there was no one, he walked to the easternmost side and knocked on the door of the village chief.

As a candidate for secretary, Zhang Lianli's enthusiasm for work is still very high, and he goes to work in the village committee early every day to deal with various things in the village, and really puts the affairs of the people in the first place.

The door was open, and he clearly heard movement inside, Zhao Liangsheng knocked twice first, and when he heard Zhang Lianli shouting "Please come in", he pushed open the door and said, "Village chief, you have to help me." ”

Zhang Lianli hurriedly stood up, "Yo, Liangsheng, what's the matter that worries you like this?" Sit down and say. ”

"Village Chief." Zhao Liangsheng followed the direction of Zhang Lianli's finger and pulled a chair and sat down, "I'm in trouble now, and I want to borrow a water truck from our village." ”

Zhang Lianli: "Do you still need to tell me about this little thing, you can just find Cheng Yue to pull it away and use it, anyway, the car is idle and idle." ”

"Hey, village chief, if I used one or two times, I would have gone to find Brother Cheng a long time ago, mainly because I used it for a long time, you may not know, I have all planted trees on the small hill, there is little soil on it, and the water poured in it seeps quickly, if I don't water it diligently, I'm afraid I won't survive a few trees, I tell you, for the sake of the small hill, my family has all been smashed in, today I and the baby and his mother carried the water and watered it all day without watering, you look at my shoulder, hey, ......"

Zhao Liangsheng grinned in pain, pulled open the collar and exposed his shoulders to Zhang Lianli, "Look, what is the swelling, I really can't bear the water, please ask the village chief to help and pick up the waterwheel for me to use." ”

Zhao Liangsheng's shoulder was swollen after a night's rest, but it was swollen even higher, and it was red and full of blood marks, and as soon as Zhao Liangsheng raised his arm, he grinned in pain.

Zhang Lianli looked at it in pain, and his mouth was slugging, "Tut-tut, why is it so serious, hurry up and go to Muzi to get some medicine." ”

"I'll go in a minute." Zhao Liangsheng covered his neckline, "Let's solve the problem of the waterwheel first." ”

Not to mention that Zhao Liangsheng is the leader of the village to get rich, he is an ordinary villager, Zhang Lianli can also help, and he promised at the moment, "The waterwheel is a trivial matter, you can just pull it away for a while, when the village needs it, when it will come to you to pull, you go to see your shoulder first." ”

As soon as the village chief agreed, Zhao Liangsheng immediately showed a smile on his face, "Then I'll thank the village chief first." ”

Zhang Lianli: "Thank you for what?" Go to the doctor. ”

Zhao Liangsheng came out of the village committee, and he didn't go to Muzi to see a doctor at all, he went directly to Cheng Yue, or first pulled the water truck home to stabilize it, this little injury on his shoulder, even if he didn't see it, it would be automatically healed in a few days.

It is much more convenient to have a water truck, at least the saplings can be watered once a day, but the saplings not only drink water but also have to use fertilizer.

Farm fertilizer is not enough, then you can only buy fertilizer, now a bag of fertilizer eighty pounds, to more than five yuan, how to get about fifty pounds of an acre of land, which is money, but there is no spare money in hand, you have to quickly sell the eggs, save some money to buy fertilizer.

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, everything recovers, and the saplings on the mountain also show new shoots, and a very few of them also show buds and bloom flowers.

In May, Zhao Liangsheng checked on the mountain, and found that eighty percent of the more than 1,000 saplings were alive and two percent were dead.

Yan Siqin took the saplings that dried into firewood branches and felt distressed, "My mother is here, why did you die so much, this is more than 100 yuan." ”

Zhao Liangsheng was also distressed, but he couldn't say it, and persuaded Yan Siqin, "Morning damn, it's good to live eight times, I originally thought that I would live fifty percent at most." ”

"Alas-" Yan Siqin sighed, "We didn't have to work these, I'm afraid that we won't be able to return to Miaolai, but I didn't expect that there would still be so many deaths." ”

Zhao Liangsheng put his hand on the pergola and looked around, "Anything is risky, so it's not bad, you can be content." ”

The days went on like this, turning over the New Year's trees were rooted, and more than 200 saplings were bought to make up for the spring meeting, and when the saplings were alive, the two of them were much easier, and people didn't have to work hard to squat on the mountain.

Zhao Liangsheng had time and began to think about how to renovate the house on Wei Dong's side, this house has been bought for several years, and it has not moved until now, and when he came back from the field in the afternoon, he turned around and took a look.

As soon as you enter the door, there are stones in the half yard, and the biggest benefit from the management of Xiaoshan Gangzi is that you have saved enough cornerstones to build a house, don't underestimate these stones, that is to save a lot of money.

At that time, when he talked about the two-story building, Zhao Liangsheng heard it in his ears and remembered it in his heart.

Zhao Liangsheng looked at the entire courtyard, thinking about how to transform it.

Here are now three houses made of loess bricks, after a long time, except for the one where Wei Dong lives, the other two have been dilapidated, push to rebuild that is certain, can not build a two-story small western-style building, build three main houses is also very good.

The old bricks that have been removed can no longer be used to build houses, but they can still be used to build chicken coops.

The most satisfying thing is this big yard, turn around and plant two grapes on the east side of the yard, to August 15, the grapes are ripe, a puff, that is so gratifying, the vegetable garden in the west is well picked up, this vegetable garden is much bigger than the one at home, can grow a lot of vegetables.

Zhao Liangsheng stayed here for a long time, observed all over the south, south, and north, and then went home with a hoe, and asked Yan Siqin, who was cooking, when he entered the door, "Morning mother, how much money do we have at home?" ”

Yan Siqin glanced at him, "How can there be any money in the family, you don't know in the past few years, our family is counting on the crops in the field and the hundred and ten chickens, how much money can we make?" Xiaoshan Gangzi has smashed all our family's money into it, and it won't be effective for three or two years, eh, why are you asking this? ”

"I came over from Wei Dong's house just now." Zhao Liangsheng held the hoe, put his chin on the hoe handle and said: "We have bought the house for several years, I always want to clean it up, but I have not been empty, I originally wanted to take advantage of the busy flip cover, but it seems that it will not be done, there is no money, and I can't do anything." ”

Yan Siqin spread his hands, "Yes, there is no money." ”

"You still have to think about making money, otherwise when will we be able to build a new house." Zhao Liangsheng shook his head, now the fruit trees on the mountain are still in the young stage, and he has no hope of being able to bear fruit and sell for money, he sits on the stone platform by the well, thinking about what other ways to make money.

Zhao Liangsheng sat cross-legged for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, he wanted to be an old farmer, he wanted to do business and had no capital, except for farming, he could raise chickens.

Right! Raising chickens. Zhao Liangsheng's mind lit up, we can continue to expand the scale of chicken raising, the house over there in Wei Dong will not be able to start work for a while, it is better to repair it simply, the exposed hole in the roof is repaired, the windows and doors are repaired, and it is directly used to raise chickens.

Just do it, do it when you think of it, Zhao Liangsheng jumped up directly and went to the kitchen to discuss with Yan Siqin, "Morning mother, I'll discuss something with you." ”

Yan Siqin: "What's the matter, you still need to discuss with me." ”

Zhao Liangsheng sat on the stove to help light the fire, "I think let's raise more **." ”

"Where to raise, on the pot table? Where do you think we have a place to spare? ”

"Look at what you said, isn't such a big place over there in Wei Dong idle? Why can't you raise it? ”

Yan Siqin thought for a while, "I hate that two of the three houses over there can't collapse, how can you raise them, besides, if you really raise chickens over there, you can't save as much trouble as now, you have to keep them in captivity, and the taste of the chickens raised is not the same as the current chickens, even the eggs are different, can it work?" ”

"Why not?" Zhao Liangsheng looked up at Yan Siqin, "The products are divided into one, two, three and so on, our free-range chickens are high-quality chickens, that is a price, and the captive ones are another price, you don't know if you don't sell chickens in the market, there are more chickens in captivity, the price is cheaper, we make it clear to customers when we sell, and don't deceive people, besides, you don't want to live in a new house, don't do more when can we build a new house." ”

Yan Siqin: "Look at what you said, who doesn't want to live in a new house?" I still want to live in a small western-style building, whatever you say, you can treat it, we originally planned to raise chickens, but it changed from free-range to captive. ”

Seeing that his wife agreed, Zhao Liangsheng immediately said: "Nacheng, tomorrow I will find someone to repair the house, and we must have the money to repair the house." ”
