The two children were muttering about their parting.

Steward Zhou and Mo Xiangshan were also saying goodbye, and Steward Zhou gave Mo Xiangshan the key to the house, and said, "Brother Mo, the little young master's grandfather will have a big birthday soon, I want to take the little young master back, and it is estimated that he will stay in Yanjing for the New Year." It's been more than two months, and there is no one at home, so I'll leave you the key, and if you have time, go and see it frequently. ”

Mo Xiangshan took the key and said with a smile: "You can go with confidence, I will take care of your yard." ”

Early the next morning, Mo Xiangshan drove the ox cart to send Steward Zhou, and Gu Yanze went to the county seat.

Mo Huihui made soft and fragrant scallion pancakes, boiled a few eggs, and brought them to Gu Yanze and Steward Zhou.

It wasn't until they were put on the train sleeper that Mo Xiangshan got off the train.

Before getting on the train, Steward Zhou also asked Mo Xiangshan to send a telegram to Yanjing.

When they get off the bus in Yanjing, someone will pick them up.

Gu Yanze left, Mo Xiaomi stayed at home all day, because her mother's body was heavy, it was snowing outside, and it was freezing in the rain, Mo Xiaomi didn't worry about her mother being at home alone.

Mo Xiangshan found the right time to prune the extra branches of the nine pear saplings at home, and Mo Mi carefully arranged the branches for grafting.

"Grandpa, will you graft?" Mo Xiaomi asked, "What needs to be done?" Teach me! ”

Mo Xiangshan smiled proudly: "Of course I will, I'll tidy it up later, and I'll take you to the mountain of our house." There are also hundreds of pear trees on it, and the pears that produce small pears taste good, but they can't be sold for a good price. If I can make a golden pear as big as the one you gave me before, it will be worth the money, and I will try it anyway. ”

So Mo Xiangshan prepared tools, and pruned pear branches, and went to the top of Mo Xiangshan's house together.

Mo Dayong still has half a month to marry his daughter-in-law, and he is busy buying various things at home, so he doesn't have time to come over to help.

I don't know if it will work now, and Mo Xiangshan doesn't want others to learn, if it doesn't work, it will be small for people to laugh at, and it will be bad to bring losses to others.

There are some other trees on the hill of Mo Xiaomi's house, which are usually cut for fire, and relatively straight trees are generally used to build houses. Because it can't be shipped, it's worthless.

On the sunny side of the two hills, there are 100 large and small pear trees.

The pear trees in Ewha Bay are two meters tall, and they are all very short pear trees, so the branches are not thick.

Mo Xiangshan went directly up the main trunk, leaving only three or four branches, and the others were directly sawed off.

"Millet, you see, we use the incalculated bud grafting method, which is simple and easy, has a high survival rate, is not limited by the season, and can be done all year round. Take the scion upside down when cutting the bud first, now cut a knife obliquely down one centimeter from the upper peak of the bud to one-third of the good xylem, about two centimeters long, and then cut the first knife edge obliquely not more than one centimeter under the bud, and remove the bud piece with wood; The shape of the incision on the rootstock and the sliced bud fairychild, but slightly longer than the bud piece, take the chipping on the rootstock and immediately insert the variety bud piece. This is done, but it should be noted that the upper end of the bud must expose a line of rootstock cortex, which is finally tied with a plastic strip. Mo Xiangshan explained to his granddaughter while doing it.

Mo Xiaomi looked at her grandfather's skillful movements and was amazed, grandpa is simply omnipotent, he can do anything!
