Chapter 22 Orchard Reclamation Yields Initial Results
Under the gaze of the villagers, Daddy Liu pushed the cart back to the yard of his house.
Aunt Liu, who was busy making canned food, saw the car full of saplings, put down the work in her hand and walked over, and asked Daddy Liu, "Dad, what kind of are you going to, we can't plant it in front of and behind the house." ”
Aunt Liu glanced at the homestead in front of her house, the small one was pitiful.
Daddy Liu put the cart close to the back of the house, and then told him that he had asked Village Chief Chen for a piece of wasteland two days ago, saying that he and the children had already gone to see it, and the land was very large, as long as it was driven out, there would be no problem.
When Aunt Liu heard this, she was a little unhappy, "Why doesn't anyone open that wasteland on the mountain, don't you know?" ”
The cans and bottles were slammed on the board, and they trembled.
"It used to be a rocky hill, and no one touched it. You can't grow anything, you have the kung fu to serve the broken stones, it is better to make canned food at home, so this can really make money. ”
Daddy Liu was not annoyed in the face of his wife's questioning, and accompanied by a smiling face, "Isn't there an old saying?" As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle. I believe that as long as I am willing to work hard, these saplings will definitely survive and will not be wasted! ”
As soon as the words fell, a string of silver bell-like laughter came out of the cradle at the door, and the two looked over and saw Liu Qiqi, who was sleeping, opened his eyes and looked at them with a smile.
Daddy Liu suddenly found inspiration, pointed to the cute little Qiqi and said to Aunt Liu, "Look at it, I'm sure our family Qiqi thinks the same way." ”
Daddy Liu squeezed his eyes at Liu Qiqi again, "Yes, Qiqi?" You think that land is fine, right? ”
After Daddy Liu said this, Liu Qiqi smiled even more happily.
Aunt Liu was helpless, but she also felt that her daughter was too cute, so she couldn't refute Daddy Liu's words, so she picked up the canned food and bottles and continued to work.
Seeing that his wife was still unhappy, Daddy Liu walked to the cart and took out a paper bag, which was his killer move.
He unfolded the paper bag in front of Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu's eyes lit up, this is the most fashionable color nowadays!
"When I bought the fruit seedlings, I gave you the cloth you tore from. Make two beautiful clothes. ”
Holding the cloth and looking at it over and over, Aunt Liu was happy and reluctantly agreed to let Daddy Liu try it.
With his wife's consent, Daddy Liu took his sons up the mountain to open up wasteland.
Fortunately, there was only a shallow layer of rocks on it, and by the time they had cleared it by noon, the soil on the surface had been exposed.
"Dad, what do you think of this soil?" Liu San wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face was covered with mud.
Daddy Liu came up to take a closer look and was overjoyed. This soil quality is also too good, it is the best quality black soil, Daddy Liu picked up a little soil and twisted it on his fingertips, and fell down with a flutter.
He said excitedly, "Son! This time, our family is lucky, this is the best soil. It's gold! ”
As soon as Liu Er heard that his hard work was not in vain, he also came up and looked at the soil dug up by Liu San happily.
When the father and son saw that the black soil had been dug up, they came up with enthusiasm, and in a short time they turned over the whole field.
In the early morning of the next day, Daddy Liu and his sons carried the saplings up the mountain to plant, and the father and son carefully watered and fertilized, and the small saplings rose rapidly, exceeding everyone's expectations.
In just over a month, the small sapling has grown more than a foot tall.
Just after the early morning, Daddy Liu took his two sons to carry water up the mountain, and when they arrived at their orchard, there were already more than a dozen villagers outside the orchard.
"Old Liu, look at your fruit tree, the rise is too good. My father said you won't be able to grow anything in this wasteland! A villager stared at the orchard of Lao Liu's family with envy on his face.
Daddy Liu smiled innocently, picked up a handful of soil at his feet, and twisted it open for everyone to see.
"Actually, the old people don't think they can grow anything, because they think there is no good soil in this wasteland. But we dug for several days, and this piece of soil turned out to be black soil, you see, it is all high-quality and good soil! ”
Everyone's eyes were staring at the soil in Daddy Liu's hands, black and rustling, this kind of soil planted something, there is no reason why it can't grow badly.
The villagers nodded their heads, regretting in their hearts why they didn't find the soil so good.
"Daddy Liu, let's learn from you! You told us to open up the wasteland and farm! ”
Daddy Liu scratched his head embarrassedly, he had been in his pocket for half his life, and he never thought that there would be people around him to learn things.
His face was slightly red, "Since everyone looks up to my old willow, I will definitely teach everyone what I know!" Together, we get rich. ”
Thunderous applause rang out in the grove.
Just at the foot of the mountain, at the house of Village Chief Chen, Xu Huaihua suffered another blow.
His son Chen Daqiang told his mother the gossip he heard from the villagers in the morning, saying that the saplings planted by Lao Liu's family were growing very well and were about to bear fruit.
After that, he added a few words of oil and vinegar, "Mom! Lao Liu's family is very good in the village, and everyone in the village has gone to learn how to plant trees with him. I don't know if he wants to choose the village chief. ”
Xu Huaihua had the experience of being bitten by a snake last time, and decided not to be impulsive anymore, she suppressed her anger and sneered a few times, "You listened to the nonsense of the people in the village, did you see it yourself?" ”
Chen Daqiang shook his chubby face, "No." ”
Xu Huaihua looked confident, "That piece of land is a famous rocky hill, and someone has already planted trees to plant trees, so is it the turn of the Shangliu family?" ”
The mouth says not to believe, but the body is very honest.
Under the pretext of driving the sheep up the mountain to graze, she secretly went to the orchard of Lao Liu's family to find out.
But when she arrived, she was shocked, where was there any mess in front of her? As far as the eye can see, there is a lush green fruit grove.
And the fruit trees are growing very well, and there are no seedlings at all, as if they have been planted for several years.
"Am I in the wrong place?" She threw her head back and muttered.
Xu Huaihua looked left and right, and couldn't believe that the orchard in front of her was the original rocky hill.
