As soon as he heard Zhao Wan say this, Qin Jian could also guess that Bai Fangzhou didn't come here, maybe he was going home.

"Bai Fangzhou is my former co-worker in the mine, an uncle in his forties." Qin Jian didn't forget to explain to her, while comparing the appearance and size of the white ark: "Don't you remember?" ”

"O, O! It's him! Zhao Wan suddenly realized, and then replied: "He didn't come either, is there anything wrong with him?" ”

"Well, he's coming for me, but you don't have to worry about it, I'll go to his house to find him later." Qin Jian hurriedly said.

"Okay." Zhao Wan nodded, and said a few more words to Qin Jian, asking how the situation in the area was today, and if they could go out for a walk.

"It's okay to take a walk, as long as you don't go too far." Qin Jian suggested.

Zhao Wan sighed and said, "Those soldiers guarding at the door of our house, I heard that you arranged them. ”

"It's not really, but it's better than nothing, after all, in this situation, no one is sure when danger will suddenly come." Qin Jian said.

"It's so hard for them." Zhao Wan sighed: "You must thank them for me, if it's okay, ask them to come into the house and eat some fruit." ”

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian shook his head and smiled: "People can't agree, Auntie, you just take care of yourself." ”

"Well, by the way, I still remembered the mention of fruit, wait a minute." Zhao Wan said and turned around and trotted into the house, and it didn't take long for her to run out with an extra black plastic bag in her hand.

"You can collect these oranges and take them back to your wife to eat." Zhao Wan patted Qin Jian's hand, smiling, her eyes forming an arc.

Although Zhao Wan had never met Gu Xue, seeing that she also cared so much about her wife, Qin Jian's heart was also moved for a while.

For more than ten years, Zhao Wan has been following the attitude of Wu and Wu.

Qin Jian looked into the plastic bag and found that those oranges were actually big and bright, not at all like the oranges that should be in the D area.

The reason why there is almost no fruit in the D area is not because the soil erosion here is serious, and no one has cultivated it for a long time, even if it is planted with live vegetables or fruit trees, the fruits are all very small, and even strange shapes, and the strange taste in the mouth is constant, and there will be signs of food poisoning in serious cases.

Thinking of this, Qin Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Auntie, where did you buy this orange?" Such a big one? ”

"What did you buy! How is it possible for Zone D to buy such a big orange? Zhao Wan pointed to the right hand, a few rather lush trees under the corner of the wall: "The orange tree I planted has borne fruit!" ”

"Huh?" Qin Jian's eyes widened for a while, completely incredulous.

Looking at those orange trees, the past began to be vivid in Qin Jian's mind.

If Zhao Wan hadn't mentioned those orange trees, he might have forgotten about them a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, I haven't seen each other for two years, and they are almost as tall as the wall......

He still remembered that it was one night ten years ago, and Zhao Wan didn't know where to get it

A few small saplings came and planted them under the wall of the yard. Under her own inquiry, Zhao Wan replied to him that these are orange trees, and as long as they are carefully cared for, they can grow into "big trees in the sky" and can also produce sweet and delicious oranges.

Later, the saplings survived under Zhao Wan's care, and she asked how long it would take to produce oranges, and Zhao Wan replied that the principle would take at least five or six years, but the quality of the land in their D area was too poor, and even if these saplings could be kept, it would take nearly ten years to bear fruit, but anyway, these trees would grow up with everyone and stay with them forever like relatives.

Now, the saplings have grown up, and the surroundings are full of people.

Once in ten years, these oranges are as heavy as a treasure in Qin Jian's hands at this moment.

"Kid, it's been ten years, and they're finally blossoming and bearing fruit." Seeing a trace of tears in Qin Jian's eyes, Zhao Wan knew that he recalled the past, smiled gently, gently supported his hand behind his back, and said.

Qin Jian didn't know why he was so excited that he almost cried, although the other party was not a human, just a bunch of orange trees, but in such a harsh environment, he not only saved his life, but also waited for ten years, all the way to the end, and reaped fruitful results, this spirit was just like a human being, so that he was involuntarily substituted.

"This gift is too valuable, I can't even accept it." Coming back to his senses, Qin Jian smiled and said.

"Although it only bears fruit once in ten years, it is not kumquat that bears fruit, even kumquat is used to eat, what else can you not accept." Zhao Wan gave him a blank look and said.

Qin Jian pursed his lips, glanced at her and continued: "That's a bit much, this bag, at least forty or fifty, it's not enough to distribute to the employees of the farm, I and my wife eat it, and it's easy to eat it......"

What he said was true, but Qin Jian definitely didn't mean much, after all, he had money to buy such things as fruits, even if he couldn't buy them, he could just rummage through them in the trash can......

"How many employees do you have?" Zhao Wan asked curiously.

"More, don't even think about bringing their share!" Qin Jian hurriedly hugged Zhao Wan and said with a smile.

Zhao Wan shrugged helplessly: "Then don't bring them, but don't return these, keep them and eat them slowly with your wife, as long as they are placed in a cold place, they won't be bad for a while, you have to think the taste is okay, come here next time to get it." ”

Zhao Wan spoils himself no less than a child on the side, even if he is now an adult, in Zhao Wan's eyes, he is also treated equally.

"Keep the rest for the kids." Qin Jian said.

Zhao Wan shook her head slightly, put her face close to Qin Jian, and whispered: "The children's appetite is tricky, they won't eat the oranges if they are a little sour, and they will all throw them aside." ”

"Isn't that blind?" Qin Jian couldn't help but mutter.

"Yes, I know you are kind, there are so many new children in our family, you want to thank them and I understand, it's just that they really don't like to eat this thing, so don't think about it, you should take it, you should eat it......"

"Okay......" Qin Jian replied awkwardly.

"What do you two say?" At this time, An Xiaowen suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"I'll bring some oranges back to your brother." Zhao Wan explained.

"Orange ......" An Xiaowen suddenly rolled her eyes, thoughtfully, and turned back to Zhao Wan and said, "I'll say a few words to my brother." ”

Zhao Wan waved her hand: "Go ahead." ”

Then An Xiaowen pulled Qin Jian aside, Qin Jian didn't know what the hell this girl was going to do, and asked disdainfully, "What are you doing?" Is there anything you can't just say? ”

"Brother, I still want to tell you about oranges."

"You don't need to say it, I remember it all, isn't it just the result of ten years......"

"It doesn't matter what the result is in ten years!" An Xiaowen immediately interrupted him.

Qin Jian was a little stunned, and said, "Then you insist on trying it for ten years?" ”

"I'm not a tree, hold on!" An Xiaowen glanced at him, took out a handful of things from his trouser pocket and held them in his hands, as if he wanted to get down to business.

"This is ......" When An Xiaowen opened her palm, revealing the contents inside, Qin Jian frowned and guessed: "Orange seeds? ”

"Bingo! Yeah! An Xiaowen was full of happiness and continued: "My idea is, you take these orange seeds back to the farm and plant them!" ”

Upon hearing this, Qin Jian was a little longing at first, but immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and shook his head: "No, right?" ”

"Why not! I've worked hard for this seed. Clean the top of the fruit, and preserve. ”

Qin Jian nodded, his expression was a little unnatural: "It's disgusting......"

"Hey, my saliva is not dirty, besides, this seed is planted in the soil in the end, and it is not for you to swallow." An Xiaowen said lightly.

Qin Jian once had similar thoughts, such as leaving seeds after eating apples, taking them to the farm and burying them in the soil, after all, most of the farm is empty land, and it is inevitable that it will be too empty if he doesn't plant something, but after discussing it with Gu Xue, he still gave up this interruption, after all, whether it is apples, pears or oranges, from planting to flowering and fruiting, it takes three or four years for the shortest cycle alone, not to mention that the land on their farm is not splashed with suitable fertilizer, and the land is not fertile, compared with the land in Area D, it is only a little better. The growth cycle will undoubtedly be longer, and it may also face the end of "ten years of fruit".

And at that time, the farm was facing the crisis of being seized by Gu Wei, even if Gu Xue had the idea of planting fruit trees, he didn't have the energy and funds, after all, the farm was full of vegetable farmers, and the only field he was good at was growing vegetables, even if he planted fruit trees, he had to spend money to hire fruit farmers to cultivate them, otherwise he would have to put them in his hands, and it was estimated that he would be able to produce half a large number of seedlings.

But now, these worries no longer exist, Gu Wei is finished, the old lady doesn't care about the farm, everything is back to order, and more importantly, he has money, as long as the place is big enough, he can hire as many people as he wants.

But, again, who has the patience to nurture fruit trees and wait for them to blossom and bear fruit?
