Day after day, Aoki is basically taking care of the growth of his own body, teaching his daughter Niuniu some common sense things, and gathering vitality to improve the concentration of vitality in Lila County. Catalyzed by a concentration of vitality twice as high as that of the outside, and the climate is suitable, the seeds sown in the rubber forest quickly germinate and grow leaves.

Aoki sometimes drives insects to harass the workers who mow grass and rubber milk in the rubber plantations. Aoki didn't use poisonous insects to harm them, after all, they are all people who beg for a living, and it is not easy to make money.

In addition to the large companies that have the land, the owners of rubber forests are generally developed by the people of their own villages and towns. If you plant rubber plantations, as long as you don't encounter natural disasters, you can get more than ten times more money per day than you can plough the fields after 4-5 years. And the money comes steadily, and it's not hard. Therefore, the land that can be developed in the whole county has been developed, and the land that cannot be developed has also been developed.

However, for rubber plantation owners, it is not without pressure to get the money, in addition to natural disasters, they also have another trouble, that is, weeding.

In the past few years, there was a place outside the province where the heavy use of herbicides ended up in poor soil quality, and although there was water, there was no way to grow plants, like the salt sea. Since then, the state has enacted a strict ban on the use of herbicides that severely damage the soil.

So now, with the exception of a small group of daring foresters, everyone else has switched to lawn mowers, and the hired workers spend most of their time mowing the grass instead of cutting the rubber.

In the past month, the rubber plantation owners and workers in the entire Lila County have found that the grass grows very fast this month, even if it is cut and grows again the next day, which is extremely disgusting.

On the contrary, although the grass has grown more, the production of latex in rubber forests has not decreased at all, but has doubled compared to the past. Because of this, the rubber plantation owners smile from ear to ear every day.

………………

In one of the small villages in Lila County. Jin Man sat under a big tree to enjoy the coolness, and on the small table in front of him was a laptop computer, which recorded a lot of data on rubber production and sales.

At this time, a person walked in from the entrance of the village, and soon walked to his side: "Jin Man, I heard that your rubber trees here have a good harvest this month?" ”

The person who asked the question was called Jinbao, who was originally a local, but when he was young, he mortgaged his family's land and mountains because of bad gambling. Every time he returned to the village from the city, he saw the sparse and neatly arranged rubber forests all over the mountains, and his heart was very envious.

What makes him even more envious and jealous is his nephew, who owns 400 acres of rubber forests, and according to the current rubber price of 30 yuan per kilogram, he can easily get more than 600,000 yuan per year. And what about yourself? As an investment and wealth management account manager in the city, I am often pressured by the leaders, embarrassed by the customers, and sometimes constantly working overtime all night. But even so, there are only about 100,000 people every year, and it's sad to think about it.

His nephew is carefree, as long as he hires a few workers, he can wait at home for the money. As for himself, although he is glamorous outside, he is the only one in his heart who knows his bitterness. At this time, I really regret that I was addicted to gambling back then, so that I got into this situation. Unconsciously, Jinbao looked at his nephew with a little jealousy and greed.

"Uncle Bao? What are you doing here? Sit, sit. After seeing Jinbao coming, Jin Man was also very happy.

"When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I heard a lot of villagers say that this month's rubber production is huge, congratulations."

Jin Man was also very happy about this, the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, but he was still more modest: "Hehe, we don't know what's going on, the climate and water are basically the same as last year, but I didn't expect the harvest to be twice as much as before." I heard that the output of rubber forests in several villages next door is good, hey, I don't know if the price of rubber milk will drop this year. ”

Hearing the words 'twice as many as before' stimulated Jinbao unclearly, and this nephew who was originally a little jealous of himself was even more jealous now. Originally, it could earn 70,000 yuan per month (8 months of rubber tapping period), but now it has doubled the production, can't it be 150,000 yuan per month? Wouldn't it be more than earning 1 year of hard work and hard work?

Thinking that his nephew didn't have to do anything, and that his monthly income was more than his annual income, Jinbao was jealous, and sometimes even had jealous thoughts. "If your father could stop me back then, I wouldn't have fallen to the point where I am today, and there is a reason why I am so depressed now."

"Uncle Bao, I want to invest all my money to buy stocks recently, after all, I can't get much money by leaving these deposits in the bank and eating interest. So what's there to introduce? "I thought that Uncle Bao was engaged in investment and financial management, and most of the people in the village took out their money to invest, and if they didn't invest it again, they would fall behind.

"How much money do you have?"

"It's not a lot, maybe 5 million." Jin Man felt that Uncle Bao had been very good for so many years, so he had no defense against him.

Hearing this fluttering 'not a lot, about 5 million', Jinbao felt that he was about to go crazy with jealousy, but he still hid his expression very well.

Then the two chatted about investment and financial management.

Autumn turns to winter, the dry season begins to arrive, and it can be clearly felt that the rainfall in Banna is gradually decreasing. The rubber tapping work in the rubber forest began to be suspended, and the rubber tapping began again in April.

Suddenly, one day, while Aoki was patrolling a rubber forest, he suddenly spotted a particularly tall rubber tree in the corner of one of the rubber forests. It is 35 meters tall and has thick branches, which is much taller than the other rubber trees in the vicinity.

"What's going on?" Aoki knows that rubber trees are generally planted in the same period, and the soil quality, climate and resources must be the same, so why is it different from other rubber trees.

"Has it evolved?" Genki can catalyze the growth of all animals, but it does not necessarily evolve, and most of the animals and plants that evolve will be characterized by their gigantic size.

Thinking of this, Aoki tried to connect with it with a sense of mind. If it still retains its original instinctive consciousness, it will be like a scorpion or centipede that has not evolved, although it can maintain communication, but it is difficult to communicate because of its weak information processing ability.

Aoki tried to overlay the sense of thought on its body, to feel its whole body.

"You're the mother tree?" At this time, a faint voice came, and the voice was like that of a little boy.

Aoki was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "...... Are you this rubber tree? ”

"Mother tree, yes." The faint voice continued to come, staccato and staccato, like a child who had just learned to speak.

Aoki is overjoyed, because he has always tried to communicate with plants, but many times to no avail. It's so hard to communicate with plants, many times more difficult than animals. This time it finally worked, and this was the first case, and Aoki felt very novel.

However, Aoki thought that he was transgender again, and suddenly his face was full of guilt: "I'm a man!" I don't want to be a woman! ”

"Why do you call me Mother Tree?" Although it was a bit of a pain, Aoki wanted to know why.

"The reason why I became like this is because of you, Mother Tree! That's why it's called the Mother Tree. ”

"......" Aoki understands that the reason why he is denatured is because most of the plants are matrilineal, so as long as it comes to raising such a problem, he will basically say that he is a mother.

"Isn't that the 'mother tree' called 'mother tree' every time in the future?"

I think of thousands of 'little kids' voices saying to myself, "Mother Tree!!" Aoki involuntarily fought a cold war.

"In the future, call me Brother Shu, it's better." Aoki hurriedly asked the rubber tree to change its name.

It is worth noting that the language that Aoki communicates with this rubber tree is not a human language, but a language unique to plants. The reason why it is so difficult for humans to communicate with animals and plants is because of the language barrier. And those human-animal and plant combinations that can communicate with each other do so because they can sense each other and feel each other's words.

Therefore, it is generally difficult for people who are not pure in mind to complete communication with animals and plants, which is why it is easier for children to communicate with animals and plants.

"When did you start evolving?" Aoki wanted to confirm what was in his mind.

"I don't know what evolution is, but at the time I felt like I had changed a lot, and then I saw you, the mother tree!"

"Don't call me Mother Tree, call me Brother Tree!"

"Good Mother Tree!"
