Chapter Twenty-Seven: Liyuan Village
Recently, the peaceful Chenjia Village has become lively again.
Early in the morning, three cars drove into Chenjia Village, and the villagers didn't know what was going on, and they all came out to watch the excitement.
And these people alone were not enough, and out of the car were some secretaries of some towns in the village, who told the village chief to call back the villagers who were working in the fields.
Grandma Xie went out to work very early in the morning, and when Xie Yusi saw these secretaries, he suddenly remembered something, if it was really like that in his memory, he would die of happiness.
The other villagers were all called back, and Xie Yusi was the only one in the Xie family, so he hurriedly ran to the field and called Grandma Xie who was working.
The place was not far from his home, just on the opposite hillside, Xie Yusi arrived at a trot, Grandma Xie thought he was here to play with him, but Xie Yusi said happily: "Grandma, go back quickly, there are a few secretaries in the village, it seems that there is something important to notify!" ”
Grandma Xie didn't dare to delay too much, the things that the secretary came to inform in the village are generally very important, plus the relationship between the Xie family and the village chief is not good, if you don't listen now, you may not know anything at that time.
After putting down the port, Grandma Xie followed Xie Yusi home, and the secretaries were already talking about something, Xie Yusi listened carefully, and it was really what he was thinking.
Xie Yusi remembered that when he was a child, the village had to build a pear orchard village one year, and this pear orchard was not the kind of singing, but a pear orchard was really planted.
At that time, those secretaries explained that they wanted to develop the countryside and build a beautiful countryside, and required every household to plant 30 pear trees, of course, there were other fruit trees, but the most were pear trees.
Not only that, but also on both sides of the road to plant osmanthus trees, chrysanthemums and the like to beautify the countryside, Xie Yusi remembered that there was a tree he had never seen at the beginning, when it bloomed, it was particularly beautiful, a large white flower, particularly fragrant.
But now Xie Yusi is not most concerned about those flowers, he immediately thought of a plan to make money after hearing the word fruit tree.
The secretaries asked the villagers to plant pear trees in the ground, some with corn and some with sweet potatoes.
In the eyes of the villagers, this is a thankless task, to eat pears, there are many wild pear trees on the mountain in the village, although the taste is not very good, but they are not willing to spend time to plant so many pear trees in the ground, waste energy and time, not to mention, but also occupy space.
And who knows if they will bear pears in this place, even if they do, they can only be eaten by the family, what is the use of planting so much, and they can't be sold for money, the secretary said, this kind of pear tree is required by various places, why should others come to your house to buy it if they have their own homes?
But Xie Yusi was very excited when he heard this, everyone was like this when the pear orchard village was built, they were not happy, and the fruit tree was randomly put into the ground to complete the task, but the fruit tree was very competitive, the variety of the pear tree Xie Yusi did not know, but he remembered that the pear tree did not grow tall at that time, but there were many branches, and the fruit of a tree was enough for the family to eat, and the taste was very good.
However, the people in the village did not pay attention to it, but from time to time they went to pick some and eat at home, neither fertilizing nor taking good care of them, and finally those pears were eaten by birds and insects, and finally when no one cared about them, they all pulled out the pear trees.
At that time, a family came up with the idea of selling pears for money, but no one knew how to take care of the pear trees at that time, and the family who wanted to sell pears for money only watered the pear trees with more fertilizer, but even then the pears grew well, but the price for which they were sold was not very good.
At that time, the family didn't know where to sell, and they didn't take it seriously, with the idea that they could make money better and not count, and they heard that the money was not much, but fortunately, the family used farm fertilizer, and if it was the fertilizer they bought, they heard that the fertilizer money could not be earned, and the family did not do it after a year.
But Xie Yusi knows that these pear trees are very easy to feed, and the quality of the fruits is good, the flesh is not very hard, there is a lot of water, and the sugar content is also high, and there is no money to buy fruits when he was a child, and the thing Xie Yusi looks forward to most every time is that the plums are ripe and the pears are ripe.
Originally, Xie Yusi was still worried about where to find the fruit tree, and how to explain it if he wanted to take out the fruit in the space and sell it, but now it's okay, and the excuse is sent to the door.
The secretaries had fruit tree saplings brought over, thirty for each household, and some peach, plum, orange, and so on, all of which were ordinary fruit trees.
Many villagers hurriedly took away the thirty pear trees that had to be planted and left, for fear that in the end there would be a surplus for them to plant, Grandma Xie also wanted to quickly take the pear trees and leave, the family has a lot of farm work, there is a time to plant fruit trees is better than to cut a few more kudzu vines for the pigs to eat.
However, Grandma Xie is still very supportive of the country's policies, and in her eyes, these things are reasonable.
But Xie Yusi didn't want to miss this opportunity, there were so many free fruit trees, it would be a waste not to take them.
Those fruit trees are leftover, I am afraid that some of them will be damaged in the process of dividing, the most are pear trees, and the other fruit trees are to see if the villagers are interested in planting, but the secretaries are disappointed, and there are a lot of fruit trees that no one wants.
The oldest and most senior secretary is surnamed Kan, Xie Yusi has a faint impression of him, he is a good person, and he can be regarded as the most complicated and fair one in this group of village officials.
Xie Yusi remembered that one year when the village evaluated poor students, the village chief deliberately did not evaluate Xie Yusi, but this secretary found out about this when he submitted the materials, and specially went to his house to ask him to fill in the materials.
Secretary Kan asked the village chief why he didn't have a place for Xie Yusi, even if he wasn't from Chenjia Village, he had heard about the Xie family, and he had also heard his own children talk about Xie Yusi's hard work in school at that time, so he noticed that the materials were wrong.
But although Secretary Kan is older than the village, the village chief's own brother works in the city, and the quota that can be given to Xie Yusi at that time was specially found by him from other villages.
For this matter, Xie Yusi has always been very grateful to Secretary Kan, but later I heard that he retired and was taken to the city by his children, so he didn't have the opportunity to thank him.
Grandma Xie took the fruit tree saplings and put them home, but Xie Yusi never walked away, he squatted there to look at those fruit trees, Chen Junfeng was curious, so he was also there to accompany him.
Secretary Kan was worried about what to do with these fruit trees, and saw two children squatting there to watch, and the others were afraid that the children would not be able to break the fruit trees, so they just wanted to go over and let them go to other places to play, but Secretary Kan stopped them.
When Xie Yusi saw Secretary Kan coming over, he immediately raised his head and asked obediently, "Uncle, what kind of fruit can these fruit trees produce?" ”
Secretary Kan is a kind person, and he doesn't have any official genealogy, in his heart, everyone is just an ordinary peasant, and seeing that Xie Yusi is clean and very well-behaved, he joked: "How much fruit can these fruit trees produce?" Do you want to know? ”
Xie Yusi and Chen Junfeng immediately looked at him with curiosity, of course, Xie Yusi was pretending, and Chen Junfeng was really curious.
Secretary Kan squatted down, took a sapling, and said: "This is a peach tree, you have picked peaches on the mountain, but the varieties of peaches are different from ours, ours is a little sour, some are bitter, and this kind of ah, I heard that the flesh is red, called blood peaches, it tastes very good, but I don't know if we can feed it here." ”
This peach Xie Yusi knows, but he doesn't understand whether it's called a blood peach, after all, the merchants of later generations have given too many messy names to different varieties of peaches, so he is used to calling it red heart peach, and the price sold in later generations is not low, especially if the quality is good and there are not too many pesticides.
Xie Yusi didn't plan to take peach saplings and plum saplings at first, because these trees are found in the countryside, and there is one plum tree in his house, and there are many small saplings growing around, which is not uncommon.
But as soon as Secretary Kan said it, Xie Yusi knew that the varieties of these fruit trees were not available to them, and they sounded like the varieties were not bad.
Secretary Kan explained to them other fruit trees, the plum tree heard that it can produce egg-sized plums, purple-red, purple-red, crisp, especially sweet, their plums are the ordinary kind, crisp are green and yellow-green, red and soft, not delicious, not big.
After hearing Secretary Kan's words, Chen Junfeng was stunned, if he planted these fruit trees, wouldn't he and Xie Yusi have a lot of such fruits to eat in the future?
Without waiting for Chen Junfeng to speak, Xie Yusi asked Secretary Kan: "Uncle then, can we get some of these fruit trees?" I also want to grow this delicious fruit. ”
Secretary Kan was a little uncertain when he heard this, most of the children were playful, and their thoughts were the same every day, he knew that these two children might be moved when they heard the delicious fruits, but he was not sure whether they would seriously plant these fruit trees, and it would be a waste if they folded and played.
Xie Yusi saw his concerns, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, we won't break the fruit trees to play, nor will we burn them as firewood, the book says that children can also contribute to the country, we can also plant fruit trees, since no one wants these fruit trees, maybe they will die at that time, we will plant it and not waste it, and we will invite you to eat when they bear fruit." ”
Secretary Kan listened to Xie Yusi's words one after another, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he still has to contribute to the country at such a young age? It's a contribution to their gluttony, but it's fun to listen to, and it doesn't hurt to give them a few fruit trees.
The most important thing is that Xie Yusi's later words went to his heart, he was serious and responsible and wanted to divide the fruit trees, but the others were unwilling to suffer from this, maybe when they saw that there were still so many fruit trees that were not divided, they would lose them directly, it was indeed a waste, it was better to give it to these two children.
Chen Junfeng also begged beside him, saying that he would invite him to eat fruit in the future, Secretary Kan said with a smile: "You don't need to invite the fruit, you can plant fruit trees alive, you are worthy of me, okay, these fruit trees are for you, you have to plant them well, I have time to come and see." ”
There were about twenty of those fruit trees, all of them peach and plum trees, and they probably guessed what the villagers thought, and they didn't bring many of them, except for some villagers who wanted to bring one or two back to plant and play, and the rest were all here.
Xie Yusi and Chen Junfeng thanked Secretary Kan and divided the fruit trees, five peach trees and five plum trees for each person.
Chen Junfeng was very happy to ask Xie Yusi where they should plant, Xie Yusi thought about secretly planting some in the space, so he said to Chen Junfeng: "It's best for us to plant this in the open space behind our house, so as not to be picked when it comes to fruition." ”
As soon as Chen Junfeng heard that it made sense, the two happily returned to their home.
Xie Yusi took out three of each tree, and took four from the pear tree placed by Grandma Xie, and immediately planted them in the space.
He asked Chen Junfeng to plant behind his own house so that he wouldn't find out that his quantity was wrong, and when Chen Junfeng found out, he could explain that he didn't plant and lost it, and it wouldn't make people suspicious.
After planting these fruit trees, Xie Yusi saw that there were more than a dozen watermelons in the space, all of them were nineteen or twenty pounds, so the fruit trees planted now should soon bear fruit.
But what should he do with these watermelons in the space? Xie Yusi touched a watermelon and was worried.
