Chapter 8: Seedlings ("138 Reading Books")

After sitting on the top of the hill in the village from Liu's family, it spread in the village, and some people said cool words, saying; "Is the old Liu family crazy? If you don't plant a good land, if you go to contract any mountain, you won't be able to cry one day. Some people said mysteriously: "Lao Liu's family found gold on that mountain bag and is about to swallow it alone!" But most of the people have a disbelief or suspicion of "confused" eyes, every time the parents go to the mountain, the people passing by are more parents pointing fingers, so that the father is very angry these days. When my father came home every night, he couldn't help but ask Liu Peng: "Son, do you say that we are right to take this land, now my father can't raise his head outside, and the villagers are pointing at me." ”

Liu Peng comforted his father every time, "Dad, what do you care about other people?" Didn't Mr. Lu Xun say before, go your own way and let others say it! ”

"Son, don't tell me anything Mr. Lu Xun, my father hasn't read a book, so I don't know that. I just want to know if this decision will work out. Dad said impatiently

"Dad! You can rest assured! Saying that you haven't started planting yet, how do you know if it's going to be successful? ”

"Alright! Dad will accompany you to the end of your madness this time! Dad stood up with an open-minded posture

The rumor reached the ears of the old village chief, and finally the old village chief stood up in order to relieve the pressure on the Liu family and explained to the villagers: "The Liu family is not crazy and has not found any so-called gold, but just planted fruit trees on the mountain!" Gradually, the rumors in the village were suppressed, and all the villagers looked curiously at the next actions of the Liu family, of course, from the eyes of some people from time to time to "revealed" schadenfreude eyes, waiting for the Liu family to make jokes.

Now that the problem of the land is solved, what makes Liu Peng think is where to find peach seedlings, if he goes out to introduce, it will not work for his family at present, the family has a total of only two thousand yuan, plus the land has just been contracted and has to pay six hundred, the family has not much money left, it seems that they have to find wild peach seedlings to graft, and they can be quickly spawned in combination with the life energy in their own bodies.

Liu Peng quickly thought of a way in his mind, and suddenly remembered something when he was a child, I remember that when I was a child, when I was playing with a few children in the village, I saw a lot of wild "Mao" peach trees, and I had nothing to do with the children at that time. And the mouth is also more greedy, I and the children climbed on the peach tree to pick peaches, picked a lot at a time, the "hairy" peach is sour, but it is the peach I picked myself, so I also ate several, I feel a special sense of achievement.

"That's right, go to the mountains to find 'Mao' peaches, 'Mao' peaches belong to small trees, China's main cultivated peach tree varieties belong to this and its variants, and the main peaches sold on the market are three varieties of 'Mao' peaches, the first one: peach, the fruit is oblate, the core is small, round, there are many varieties, mainly divided into two kinds, there are "Mao" and ***, and this kind of peach is very light in the north and south of our country. The second type: nectarine, also known as light peach, plum peach, the fruit is round, the peel is smooth and ***. The third type: Shouxing peach, the tree type is dwarf, the roots are shallow, the branches are short, there are two types, red flowers and white flowers, this peach tree is mainly used for ornamental. Liu Peng recalled that when he was in college, he had studied some of the main economic plants that were suitable for rural development. Thinking of this, Liu Peng's heart had a bottom, and he quickly ran towards the mountain.

Liu Peng ran towards the peach tree in his memory, and saw those familiar trees from a distance, which was where his hope now lies, Liu Peng quickly went up, circled around a peach tree, and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, it can grow so lush in this barren land, it seems that the vitality of these trees is very strong." ”

Liu Peng leaned on the cat, pouted his buttocks high, picked up the grass, and carefully searched around the peach tree, and finally Liu Peng found more than 30 seedlings around the peach tree, Liu Peng leaned his back against the peach tree, holding a grass stem in his mouth, resting. After resting for a while, Liu Peng scolded: "Why are there so few!" Looks like we're going to have to try blowing it out with life energy. ”

Liu Peng skimmed a branch from the peach tree behind him, and carried the true qi in his body to the branch in his hand, only to see that the roots of the branches quickly grew roots, and the branches sprouted tender teeth at a speed visible to the naked eye, the tender teeth grew from small to large, like a shy girl, the young leaves slowly opened, looking at the moment of life blooming in front of him, Liu Peng's heart was full of joy and excitement. Maybe you also need life to bloom, and isn't that what you're working on?

The problem of the seedlings was solved, I don't know how my father was doing, Liu Peng ran to the mountain of his family's bag, and saw a group of people in the distance busy tidying up the hillside, and his father and mother were also inside, digging in full swing.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Liu Peng remembered that when he gave his father this idea yesterday, his father's bitter look and couldn't help but smile. According to my father's temperament, it is impossible to be willing to hire other villagers, my father would rather dig more, but this time I can't do it if I don't invite it, there are more than 30 acres of land on a small hill in my own bag, if my father digs alone, I don't know how long it will take? So Liu Peng suggested to his father: "Hire the villagers in the village, now that the grain harvest is finished, the villagers are idle, and give the villagers ten yuan a day." So, Dad, you hire ten people, how many days do you think it will take to clear that land? Dad still looked reluctant at first, he calculated to Liu Peng: "Son, let's invite ten people, if this land is done quickly, it will be done in about seven days, so won't it cost seven hundred in these seven days?" In this case, the family will not have much money, so what should we do in the future? "Dad's face is bitter

"It's a real problem with money, so be it! Dad, you hire the people in the village to do it first, and I'll go to find my grandfather when I'm free to see if he has any way! ”

"It's not good to go and borrow money from your grandfather!"

"Dad, I'm just going to discuss countermeasures with grandpa, and I'll see when the time comes! Cultivate the ground first, and then just plant it. Liu Peng said to his father

"Son, you're here! Are you going to your grandfather's? What did your grandfather say? The old man asked eagerly

"Dad, I haven't gone yet! I just went to see the seedlings, and now that I've got the seedlings out of the way, I'm going to come to you now to see how the cleaning is going. ”

"It's okay on my side, seven days should be enough, by the way, where are the seedlings you said, son? How? Dad asked curiously

"Dad, keep it secret, hehe!"

"Good boy, you don't even hide it from your father! Do you want to beg for a fight? Dad laughed

"Hee-hee! Dad, are you willing to hit me? I'm your precious son. ”

"Why can't you give it up, why don't you try?"

"Okay, Dad, I still won't try, I'll go to my grandfather's side now to discuss, you hurry up here, and ask those uncles to work harder!"

"Okay, there you go! Take me to say hello to the old village chief! ”

Liu Peng came to his grandfather's house and saw his grandfather sitting alone on the reclining chair in the hall, resting there with a fan. "Grandpa! I'm here again, are you bored here alone? ”

"It's Xiaopeng? Grandpa is old, and his heart has long been calm, and those "hairy" boys like you can't sit still. Hehe, what's going on with you today? ”

"Grandpa, can't I come to you if I'm fine? You're breaking my heart so much. Liu Peng said with a painful look

"Hehe, you little ghost just pretend! Tell me, what's going on? ”

"That's right, grandpa, do you think you can find some way to find some money? Our family's land needs to be invested now, and we don't have much money now. ”

"That's it! You see how much you need, if it's less, grandpa can get it for you. ”

"Grandpa, now I need 10,000! The main thing is to buy some fertilizer and some miscellaneous expenses or something. ”

"Ten thousand! This is not a small amount, grandpa doesn't have that much money, what can I do? Grandpa said with a frown

"Then grandpa, do you think you can think of any other way? If you don't have money, you won't be able to get this peach ball! Liu Peng was also anxious.

"Xiaopeng, don't worry, let grandpa think about it." Grandpa stood up and walked up and down the room

Suddenly, Grandpa said, "So be it! Tomorrow grandpa will go to the credit union in the town to have a look, grandpa, the village chief is not in vain, in my personal name to borrow 10,000 yuan, I think it is still okay. ”

Liu Peng's eyes couldn't help but light up, "Grandpa, this method is feasible, but grandpa, aren't you afraid of our family's failure?" ”

"Hehe, look at what you said, now we are all a family, a family doesn't speak two words, grandpa should support you!" Grandpa laughed

"Thank you, Grandpa! Xiaopeng will honor you well in the future! Liu Peng lay in his grandfather's arms and said firmly

"Okay, Xiaopeng, get up, it's crushing grandpa's leg." Grandpa patted Liu Peng on the back

Liu Peng looked at his grandfather with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly "rubbed" his legs with both hands, "Grandpa, I'm sorry!" Can I come to town with you tomorrow. ”

"Okay! Grandpa also bought you some gifts by the way, I haven't given you any gifts last time! ”

"Oh well! I'll call you tomorrow morning, grandpa, I'll go first, I'll help dad open the land together, and I'll be with you after this time, okay? Liu Peng shook his grandfather's hand

"Go ahead! It's a good project to tell your dad to do a good job, and let the people in the village take a good look at it, so that they don't laugh at it. ”

"I will, then grandpa, I'm leaving! Good bye. Liu Peng waved his hand and ran away.

The old man shook his fan and smiled knowingly: "This kid"
