Chapter 56: Manchuan is an apple tree
This is the first time that Wang Defa and his woman have beaten Guisheng. It's not because Guisheng is naughty and nourishes other people's children.
The woman beat Guisheng, which made Wang Defa also start to think. Based on the results of the current examination, there must be something wrong with Guisheng in the future, as for how it will develop, it is difficult to say, but what is inevitable is that Wang Guisheng will do stupid things that do not match his age and intelligence level in the future, and it is unacceptable?
This time I bullied someone else, so what about next time? If you can keep bullying others, Wang Defa still feels that it will be worry-free, at least those who bully others are less angry than those who are bullied. Wang Defa pursues the principle that he would rather beat others than be beaten, and would rather apologize to others than accept others to apologize.
Therefore, it is a matter of time before Guisheng is beaten by a woman this time, maybe if he is not beaten this time, he will be beaten by Wang Defa next time. So today's water gun incident is just a fuse, so that Wang Defa and women began to realize some practical problems in Guisheng's growth, time has never stopped moving forward, Guisheng has never stopped growing, sooner or later to face things, it is better to encounter it early, and then have a preparation in your heart.
As long as Guisheng goes out of the gate to play, the first thing Wang Defa does is to confiscate his water gun first, the water gun can only be played in the yard, and he can play as much as he likes.
When spring dawned and the ground thawed, Wang Defa and the woman had already gone to the two plots of land they had chosen every day and began to dig tree pits. The county's call is still very strong, and there are really a lot of people who grow apples in Sichuan this year, and they have begun to dig pits.
Everyone in the field is talking about whether this kind of apple is really better than growing wheat, and despite this discussion, it has not affected everyone's enthusiasm for growing apples.
With the experience of the first batch of apple growers, everyone now knows a little bit about growing apples. For example, someone used to buy a batch of apple saplings, and as a result, when they began to bear fruit in three or four years, they found that these saplings had a variety of varieties, and the apples produced had a completely different taste. The apple sapling, which is less than a person tall, has never been touched, so it is impossible to tell whether it is the same variety when put together. There are more than a dozen varieties grown in a field, and it is okay if they only sell them on the streets of the town or in the county seat, but once a big merchant comes to harvest apples, they are not even willing to go into the orchard.
The sweetest, tastyest and crispest apple varieties are the Red Fuji variety. With the lessons of the past, everyone is now very good at choosing saplings.
Wang Defa chose red Fuji saplings for his home. More than 100 pits, not a small number, the spring planting time is just that for a period of time, not early, not late, otherwise it will affect the rooting and growth of the saplings in the future, if the saplings do not grow well, the hanging fruit will definitely not be much better.
The tree pit, Wang Defa and his woman were dug out early and late, and the two of them were tired enough.
The first person to propose to hire someone to plant the tree was Wang Defa, in the matter of doing farm work, Wang Defa has shortcomings in practice, and he also has some less physical strength, in fact, it is about brain work, and he is not as good as his woman. The things that Wang Defa experienced, if there were no women, let alone himself, this family would have fallen apart a long time ago.
"The pit is dug, when are you going to buy the saplings?" After digging the pit, the woman sat on the ridge and asked Wang Defa.
"Tomorrow I'll go to the town's agricultural material station and ask." Wang Defa said.
"You don't want to be tomorrow, the pit is dug now, you will rest, just hurry up, I didn't see the sapling, everyone is rushing for it."
"Look at this river, there are not many people ready to plant trees at a glance, what is there to grab." Wang Defa looked at Chuan Li and said.
"You think it's just the people of Sichuan who grow apples? There are some people in Chuanli, and there are apples in the surrounding mountains this year, and many of them come to grab saplings. ”
Wang Defa was said by the woman, jumped up from the ridge and patted the soil on his buttocks, then rode a bicycle to leave, turned back to the woman and said: "About planting trees, I will find some people in the town to help plant them together, you clean up and go back early, Jackie Chan and his brother are about to get out of school, take care of your students, don't make trouble again." ”
After speaking, Wang Defa kicked on the ground four or five times, and jumped onto the saddle the moment the bicycle ran forward. The woman looked at Wang Defa's riding posture and sighed in her heart, she was really old, in the past, Wang Defa only pedaled the ground, and the speed of the bicycle rose.
The woman packed up the tools in the field and pulled them home.
Wang Defa went to the agricultural material station, and it was really like what the woman said, and the people who lined up to buy saplings were all outside the station. Wang Defa set up the bicycle and hurriedly lined up.
There are many unfamiliar faces, and it is estimated that they are all from the surrounding mountains, buying saplings in bundles. There were two people, carrying the saplings to the tricycle, and they both sighed: "But thanks to the early arrival today, I can still pick a seedling." Let's take a closer look, it's not a red Fuji seedling! ”
"Judging by the color and roots of this sapling, it should be red Fuji."
The people who are still queuing around, they are idle, so they just get close to see the saplings, you say a word to me, some say that it is a Fuji sapling, and some say that it is not quite like it.
Wang Defa was upset by these rounds, and when he looked at so many people in front of him, he was even more irritable. He dug the pit and forgot about such a big thing as a sapling.
When it comes to growing apples, the people in the mountains seem to pay more attention to it than the people in the Sichuan. Most of the apples harvested in Wang Defa's fruit cellar last year were recovered from the mountains. The apples on the mountain are liked by foreign merchants, and the advantages of high terrain and sunshine make the apples on the mountain sweeter than those in the river.
Wang Defa watched one person after another, pulling the saplings he bought and leaving. Looking back at the queue behind him, there were more people in line, and he had been pushed to the front row by the line, and there were only five people in front of him.
"Red Fuji saplings, a hundred, right?" When it was Wang Defa's turn, he said.
"There are saplings, but I can't guarantee that they are all red Fuji saplings. You can judge from the color of the sapling and the roots, it can only be approximate, if you don't know how to pick, I will help you choose, if there are a few miscellaneous trees, don't blame me. Or you'll pick it yourself. The stationmaster of the agricultural materials station said.
Wang Defa also has no experience, a hundred saplings with so many miscellaneous are fine, and if they are not sold in the future, they will be left for their own food.
"You can help me pick it, it's just about the same." Wang Defa said.
"Okay, come, you can help me too!" The webmaster said.
One bundle is twenty-five, and the stationmaster took out five bundles from the pile of saplings, and then helped Wang Defa check them one by one, which was quite serious, and Wang Defa was relieved to see him serious.
The sapling was not large, and after the inspection, Wang Defa gently tied the sapling to the back seat of the bicycle with a rope.
The stationmaster saw Wang Defa holding a rope to tie the sapling, shouted loudly to tell Wang Defa to wait, took out a piece of cardboard and gave it to Wang Defa and said: "How can the sapling stand the rope like this, the book cover is strangled, can it still live?" I give it and protect the cardboard in the place where I can strangle it with a rope. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, thank you!" Wang Defa said to the stationmaster. He knew the old stationmaster in the past, and he had work contacts, and now the stationmaster sent is not from the town, so he has to be polite to others, and besides, it is for Wang Defa's good, he is still very moved.
In the crowd in the queue behind, there was a person who knew Wang Defa's team, and when he saw Wang Defa's method of tying saplings, he laughed at him. He's not a farmer.
"Lao Wang, you are a bad worker, do you want to hire someone to work for you?" Someone in the crowd said this, which was originally a mocking remark, and it also reminded Wang Defa that this sapling can't be left for too long, and it has to be planted in the pit early.
Wang Defa looked for the speaker's voice, it was someone in the team, he knew it.
"Brother, don't say it, I really want to find some people to help me plant the tree, do you have time? Thirty wages a day. Wang Defa said.
It was originally a joke, but I didn't expect Wang Defa to take it seriously.
"Mo Mada, Lao Wang, thirty a day, thirty a day, these saplings on your car, if I were alone, I would have planted them for you in three days at most."
"That's fine! Is there anyone else who can help me plant the tree? Thirty a day! Wang Defa felt that four days was too long, one person had four days, and two people would have to finish in two days, plus him and the woman, the hundred trees had to be planted in two days at the earliest.
"Me!" Said a young man in the back line.
Wang Defa looked over, sturdy young man.
"Okay, then you thank you two, thirty a day, tomorrow morning at half past eight, four teams at the intersection waiting for me, let's go together, what's the matter?"
"Okay, we'll be waiting for you at the intersection tomorrow."
"Okay, that's it. I'll go back first, tomorrow is certain, can't be child's play! ”
"Don't worry, Momada!"
Wang Defa carried the sapling, and did not dare to ride the bicycle, for fear that the sapling would fall off the car and break, so he pushed the front of the car with one hand and helped the sapling behind him to go home.
The saplings were going to spend the night at home, so Wang Defa found some snakeskin bags, watered the roots a little, and then covered them.
"I've hired the people who will plant the tree tomorrow, two, plus two or four of us, and I see that the tree can be planted in two days." During the meal, Wang Defa said to the woman.
"What are you doing with that unjust money, let's plant it twice, and it will be planted in three or four days."
"You don't understand this, you see that the weather has been good in the past two days, it is a good weather for planting saplings, this weather is just like Guisheng's face, who knows when it will change, and you can rest assured if you finish planting early."
"How much does a person cost a day?"
"Thirty."
"Okay, then I'll make some cakes in the afternoon and ask people to work, and there must be dry food for rest in the field, and it just so happens that the steamed buns at home are gone."
"Well, okay, you can watch it yourself! Tomorrow the four of us will strive to plant quickly, just two gentlemen, I will bring the remaining pack of cigarettes, and I will work hard after serving. ”
After digging a pit in the morning, after eating, Wang Defa lay on the kang and squinted for a while, who knew that this squint for most of the afternoon.
The woman was baking cakes in the kitchen, and Wang Defa was in the yard preparing things for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Wang Defa pushed the bicycle, with Guisheng in the back seat, and the woman pushed the tools and saplings on the rack car.
At the intersection, the two people hired yesterday are already waiting for Wang Defa.
"Here we go!" Wang Defa said hello.
"Just arrived, let's go!" One of the older ones said.
The five of them chatted all the way and walked towards the field. The two people hired saw that Wang Defa had dug the tree pit in the field, and they were happy all of a sudden, which means that half of the work has been done, and he expected it to be two days, this situation is completely useless, it is purely to plant trees, soon, the day will be over today, and it will be cleaned up at noon tomorrow at the latest.
"Lao Wang, these thirty-one days, but he is dead!" Afraid that Wang Defa would change his hexagram, Big Brother confirmed it again.
"Say dead, say dead! Let's get started. Wang Defa said.
If you want to plant trees, the two people invited are really good at it, how deep the roots should be put and how to bury the soil, the head is the way. Wang Defa felt that he had not invited the wrong person.
Guisheng was playing by himself in the ground, in front of the tree pit, and the four of them cooperated, and the planting speed was also fast.
About two hours after planting at full speed, the four of them sat on the ridge and rested. The woman took out the dry food and a large jug of water, and chatted as she ate.
"Lao Wang, look at it like this, in the future, this river will be full of apple trees, and then it will be green."
"The county has set the tone, and in the future, Apple will be the pillar industry of the county."
"Do you say that we old farmers don't grow grain and apples, and we will eat apples when we eat in the future?"
"Can apples be full? You don't want to think about it either. It is true that there is less arable land for planting apple trees, but what is the purpose of planting apples? Isn't it just for the sake of income, more income, more money, you won't use the money to buy food to eat? Wang Defa was eating cakes and drinking tea, chatting a bit like raising a bar.
"If everyone in the world thinks so, who will grow food? If you grow food, you won't have the money! ”
When Wang Defa heard this, he couldn't react, and felt that it made sense. Everyone thinks so, if they don't grow food, then they really can't buy it with money.
"If you look at you, you won't understand, let's grow apples and make money, and when everyone has money in their hands, they will use the money to ask foreigners to grow food for us."
The four of them were resting on the ridges, and at a glance they saw that one-third of the land had been planted with trees, and at this pace, it would be no problem for two-thirds to be planted today.
"Let's go, let's go on, we're still fast."
Wang Defa is the one who holds the tree, carrying the saplings vertically, waiting for the old brother and the young brother to fill it with a shovel. The woman's job arranged by Wang Defa was to hand the saplings, and after handing the saplings to Wang Defa, she helped the two of them to cultivate soil in the pit together.
After two days of busy work, all 100 saplings were planted, and Wang Defa's first plan of the year was successfully completed, and the two hired people paid for it, and the tree planting was successfully completed.
Wang Defa began to be a little confused, there is not too much land in this house, and when the apple tree is planted, there is even less land that can be planted, and the woman alone has the energy to do the work in the field well. This means that Wang Defa has to find some work for himself next, and it is still early to harvest apples this year.
