Chapter Seventy-Seven: Flowers

The hustle and bustle on the Internet has nothing to do with Li Nianmian, after all, she is only responsible for contributing, and the matter of contributing will be handed over to professionals.

She's busy with another important thing right now, and that's-

"Niannian! Hurry up! Zhou Menglan looked back at her daughter who was still grinding and called.

Li Nianmian replied while putting on his cloth shoes, "It's coming!" ”

Their family is now going to go to Momoyama to hunt flowers while they have time.

Playing flowers is actually thinning flowers.

The peach blossoms on Momoyama are too luxuriant, which is a good thing when you enjoy the flowers, but it is not a good thing for the result.

Peach trees are relatively easy to survive, and most varieties can form sufficient flower buds under normal conditions, which is a very good thing during the ornamental period, but it is troublesome when it comes to fruit setting.

Because the fruit setting rate of peach trees is very high, if you don't get rid of the extra flowers in time, then those flowers are easy to set fruit, and once the amount of fruit set exceeds the number that the peach tree can carry, then there will be a lot of problems.

For example, the nutrient supply of peach trees is insufficient, and the fruits produced are small, low in sugar, poor in coloring, and insufficient in appearance.

These are minor issues, and most importantly affect the tree itself. Not only will the peach tree become weak, but the quality of the peach blossoms will deteriorate, which in turn will affect the peach yield in the next year.

Therefore, reasonable flower thinning is an indispensable and important measure for peach cultivars.

The weather in April twilight is actually not too hot, and in the evening, the cool breeze blows refreshingly, especially Taoyuan has the blessing of Juling Town, which is even more refreshing and pleasant.

In Taoyuan, there are not only Li Nianmian's family of three and four members of the Tang family who are busy working, but also a group of primary school students. These are the children in the village who have come back from school.

Before, the people in the village heard that Li Nianmian's peach orchard needed to find someone to make flowers, and they all wanted to help for free in the future, but Li Nianmian was embarrassed to let others be free, so he had to refuse.

In the midst of the stalemate, a group of elementary school students who had returned from the town on the school bus returned to the entrance of the village.

When the children heard that they could go to the peach orchard and pick flowers to play, they thought that there was such a good thing, and they said that they could help.

Parents can just let this group of energetic children find something to do, don't go home and huo the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.

Li Nianmian looked at the children who were full of interest, and the villagers who rolled up their sleeves and waited for her to go in person if she didn't agree, and she could only agree.

So now there are more than 20 children in the peach orchard who pick peach blossoms, those who are younger are responsible for the flowers on the branches that they can reach, and the older ones can climb the trees.

At first, Li Nianmian was worried about their safety, but later found that she was worthy of being a child in the village, and her tree-climbing skills were no worse than hers, but she also told her not to climb to the top of the tree or anything like that.

These children have basically been exposed to farm work, and some are even the main force in the family, even if they don't know how to make flowers, but after listening to Li Nianmian's explanation, they have done it in a good way.

Especially when Li Nianmian just gave each of them a snakeskin bag and asked them to collect the flowers they had picked, saying that they could take them home, they were even more motivated.

Tang Mingming is eleven years old this year, in the sixth grade, and she seriously dragged the snakeskin bag containing a shallow layer of peach blossoms to transfer to another peach tree.

She didn't pick the branches below, those were left for her younger siblings to pick, she was a big friend, and she had to climb up and pick them.

She stood under the tree and looked at it, mentally made a route up the tree, and then climbed the trunk with both hands, rubbed it, and scurried up the tree like a dexterous monkey.

She took off her long-sleeved coat and put her four corners together to make a simple cloth bag. Sitting at the fork of the branch, he moved his butt to make sure he was safe and concentrated on picking the flowers.

After picking it for a while, she found that her clothes were full, and as soon as she wanted to get up and take off the peach blossoms, she heard someone call her under the tree.

"Sister! Sister! Give me! Her seven-year-old sister jumped under the tree and said, "Throw it down and give it to me!" Don't come down! ”

Tang Mingming weighed it, don't look at the petals, they are actually quite heavy, she asked uneasily: "Are you okay?" ”

My sister jumped to her feet: "Okay! You throw it down! ”

Tang Mingming hesitated for a moment, remembering that the village uncle who had been knocked unconscious by the apple before, and finally refused.

After all, this is also a distance of almost one floor, and my sister is only a little big, what should I do if I break my hand.

"This, hook this!" A little boy next to him came running with a stick.

The stick is about two meters long and has a hook-like fork at one end.

The little boy tiptoed and lifted the stick, "Sister Mingming, come!" ”

"Chubby, okay you!" Tang Mingming took the wooden stick, put the clothes in his pocket again and hung them on the stick, and the two children below took it and poured the flowers into the snakeskin bag.

The children next to him saw that they were doing the same, and they went around looking for sticks, and Tang Enqing also found a few plastic bags for them.

After picking for about an hour, when it was time for dinner, Li Nianmian persuaded everyone to go back.

"Go back, go back, come back tomorrow, don't worry."

The whole peach mountain is very big, and it can't be finished in the past two days, anyway, Li Nianmian and they are not in a hurry.

When the children heard that they would be able to play tomorrow, although they were all reluctant to give up, they still dragged the snakeskin bag full of peach petals home.

Tang Mingming and his sister Tang Liangliang carried one side of the snakeskin bag and took home the peach petals of the snakeskin bag.

"What are you two carrying?" Tang's mother works in a small supermarket in the town, and has just come home from work, and she doesn't know what happened.

She hurriedly went over and took the snakeskin bag, "Yo, it's quite heavy." ”

"Mom! It's the peach petals given by Sister Niannian! "Tang Liangliang is as his name suggests, with a pair of big Kazlan eyes shining," Sister Nian Nian said that it can be used to make porridge! It can also be used to make tea! ”

Tang Mingming has reached the age of stinky beauty, and remembers what she thinks is the most important point, "It can also be used for bathing!" Like a fairy in a TV series. ”

The heroine in the TV series they watched last time was like this, and the big pond () in the bath is full of petals like this, which is beautiful!

At this time, Tang's father happened to come back from picking vegetables from the vegetable field, he smiled and put the greens aside, and lifted Tang Mingming up, "Okay!" I'm going to get you a bath tonight! ”

Tang Liangliang saw his sister being lifted high and screamed: "Dad! Father! I want it too! ”

Father Tang was entangled by his two daughters, so he had no choice but to raise himself high again, and then he had time to turn his head and explain to his daughter-in-law, "It's the flowers on Peach Mountain, and the children in the village see it and say that they want to help, and these petals are probably given by Niannian." ”
