The next day.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Chen Fan carried a bucket of water to the backslope to water the freshly transplanted herbs in the medicine garden.

It is said that it is a medicine garden, but in fact, it is the place where he demarcated the west side of the homestead by the rice field.

The growth habits of these herbs are different, some like to be dark and damp, and are planted on the edge of the ditch under the miscellaneous trees, and some like the sun, so they are planted on the top of the slope, and the surrounding weeds must be cleaned to prevent the nutrients of the herbs from being robbed.

Since Lu Siye's main purpose was to teach Chen Fan to identify medicinal herbs, there were many types of herbs collected, but the quantity of each type was very small. So after Chen Fan transplanted these herbs, he left a large area around to increase the number of herbs planted.

From getting off work yesterday afternoon until now, after coming back, he has not been busy with anything else except eating and sleeping, all revolving around medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, these herbs can be found almost everywhere in the fields, but he didn't pay attention to them before, and when he has the heart to find them today, he can find a lot of them casually.

Even the wasteland on this small hillside is overgrown with all kinds of medicinal herbs.

And because of the "complexity" of the terrain here, there are more types than the fields outside, so Chen Fan mainly works around this wasteland.

Transplant different types of herbs together according to their growth habits and water them to improve their survival rate.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and he can only clean up a small area in one day, and it will take about a month to clean up the entire mountain.

The main reason is that Jiang Lili and the others have to follow the production team to work, and Chen Fan can't always use them as long-term workers, so he can only take his time.

Just when Chen Fan was working hard, a sound of footsteps came into his ears, and he turned his head to look, only to see Captain Yang, Accountant Liu, Keeper Huang, and Security walking over together.

Chen Fan immediately washed his hands in the bucket, and he didn't need to wipe it, he just shook it a few times, and rubbed it on his clothes twice, and it was almost dry.

Then he took out the East China Sea cigarette and greeted him.

While smoking, he smiled, "Wait a minute, I'll be busy here soon, and I'll go back to cooking." ”

Jiang Lili and the others didn't come over to help, just because they were preparing the ingredients for cooking, and he could start cooking directly when he went back later.

Safety waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be in a hurry, it's still early at this time, and I can't eat it." ”

He looked left and right, then turned his head and asked in surprise, "There should be two acres of land in this area, and you opened it all by yourself?" ”

Captain Yang smiled on the side, "There is also the one below, which adds up to more than three acres in total." ”

He was talking about the land that the educated youth point was going to use as a "road".

Security looked back, nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, there's down there." ”

As he spoke, he began to reminisce about the past, "I remember that the area near the Educated Youth Institute was full of miscellaneous trees, and the cedar forest in front of it was a firewood forest specially approved by the commune, but at that time it was still a small tree, so we cut down the miscellaneous forest behind it.

As a result, when the cedar tree grew a little longer, groups of educated youths came and went, but everyone was used to cutting miscellaneous trees to make firewood, and no one touched the cedar tree.

Moreover, the straw and cotton stalks are enough to cook rice on a fire, and even miscellaneous trees are rarely cut down, let alone on this hillside. When I came to take a look today, I realized that this area is quite large. ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "It's really amazing that you cleaned up such a large area by yourself." ”

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, pointed to the bottom and said, "I'll clean up the one below by myself." ”

Then he pointed to the empty homestead, "This one was cleaned up by a few girls who lived in our yard and helped clean it up." ”

Security nodded suddenly, but still said, "That's also amazing." ”

He looked around again, "How are you going to arrange such a large area?" ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted to plant all the trees around, such as cedar trees, camphor trees, and banyan trees, but Captain Yang said that he didn't recommend doing this, so he gave up this plan." ”

He nodded safely and said, "Lao Yang is right, you want to plant trees, and you have to report when you cut them down in the future, and it's not good to have too many trees, it's easy to attract birds and insects, and it's just your family here, and it's a trouble at that time." ”

After a pause, he said again, "If you want me to say, you might as well plant fruit trees, fruit trees are generally not big, whether you plant or cut, the Forestry Bureau will not care, and there are fruits to eat, if you want, I will help you contact you and find you some fruit tree seedlings." ”

He looked at the nearby miscellaneous trees again and said with a smile, "There are actually quite a few wild fruit trees here, and I remember a few orange trees, which are so sour that they are dying. However, although the fruit of these wild fruit trees cannot be eaten, you can use these trees as the main pole for grafting, so that the fruit hanging time is shorter, and there is no need to cut down the tree and plant the tree. ”

Chen Fan thought about it, nodded and smiled, "This method is not bad, it is good to plant some fruit trees." ”

But he pointed to the place to the east and said with a wry smile, "Actually, I want to plant trees, mainly to prevent wind and sand." It's about as high as the embankment, and if there were no trees to cover it, the sand and dust on the embankment would be blowing right on my house, and the house would be full of dust every day, and I couldn't do any hygiene. ”

Security was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "This is a troublesome matter." ”

He turned his head to look at Captain Yang and the three of them, and said, "When we first came to Zhiqing Point, we also had this problem, unlike now, there is a small patch of miscellaneous forest next to it, at that time, there was no shelter between Zhiqing Point and the river embankment, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the yard was full of sand blown by the wind, anyway, the ground didn't care about him, but the house can wipe out a basin of muddy water every day, which is really uncomfortable." ”

Hearing this, Captain Yang nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought with his hands behind his back.

After a while, he turned his head to look, frowned and said, "Xiao Chen, you see if this will work." ”

He pointed to the relatively tall miscellaneous trees, "When I have time one day, I will find someone for you to come and transplant these large trees that are still a little branched and leafy to the east, and by the way, I will repair the branches and leaves for you, so that you can graft fruit trees."

Although these miscellaneous trees are not particularly tall, they can also play a certain role, and then, you can plant three or five rows of tall trees next to your house, and plant them in the middle of those miscellaneous trees.

Don't make any saplings for these big trees, there are a lot of all kinds of trees in the team, poplars, fir trees, locust trees, mulberry trees, camphor trees, and banyan trees.

If you want more, you can also go to other teams to find it, and a tree doesn't cost a few dollars, so you can transplant it here after you buy it.

It's spring, and the survival rate should be relatively high, as long as it survives, it's a ready-made forest. Isn't it much better than if you replant a small tree?! ”

When Chen Fan heard this, his feelings were good, and he immediately smiled, "Okay, I don't want a lot, just go from the slope to the top of the slope and cover my yard." ”

If he can really do what Captain Yang said, he still can't wait for it.

On the one hand, there are indeed many fewer trees needed, and on the other hand, tall trees and low miscellaneous trees are planted along the soil slope, which can form an all-round three-dimensional protection up and down, blocking the dust blown from the east embankment and ensuring that the yard is clean.

At that time, there will be anti-sand forests and a small number of fruit trees in the east, medicinal fields in the north and west, plus a small number of vegetable gardens, and their own two-acre courtyard will be arranged into a garden.

Imagine what it would look like when it was built, and it would be much better than having trees on three sides.

Captain Yang They didn't feel anything, they just felt that Chen Fan was strange and lonely living here alone, if it weren't for the fact that there was a young man in front of him, I am afraid he would really become a "lonely person".

But the knowledge of safety is much higher than theirs, and he immediately smiled at Chen Fan, "Then if it is arranged according to your plan, this place is not worse than the villas in big cities." ”

Accountant Liu's face was full of humility and studiousness, "Villa? What is it? ”

Don't blame him for his shallow knowledge, in a place like Nanhu Commune these years, people who know the word villa can almost be said to be rare.

In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to live in a "garden" or a building in the city is the life of a superior person.

In particular, buildings that represent "developed societies" are the goal of the vast majority of people. It's just that the rural people now don't have a chance to struggle if they want to.

Nowadays, the best house of the production team all over the country is the "brick house", if anyone can build a brick house, then the person who says that the pro can be discharged three miles away.

As for the villa, what is it?

Haven't heard of it!

The security explained to him, "The villa is a house where the rich live in a big city, that is, a yard is encircled, and a small two- or three-story building is built in it, and there is a garden in front of the house and behind the house, which ordinary people cannot afford to live in." ”

Accountant Liu nodded suddenly, "Just circle a yard and build a small building in it?" ”

Seeing that the security nodded in confirmation, he turned his head to Captain Yang and Keeper Huang and smiled, "The conditions of the rich people in that big city are not high, the difference with us is that they live in a two-story small building, and we are still living in an earthen wall house." ”

Keeper Huang glanced at him, "Yes, the conditions are about the same, when you push down your family's mud-walled house and build a two-story small building, you are also a rich man in a big city." ”

Captain Yang grinned, "He? At most, he is a rich man in Lujiawan. ”

Accountant Liu didn't care, and then said with a smile, "If I can really be a rich man in Lujiawan, I can be regarded as a winner!" ”

Custodian Huang laughed and said, "Then you will be the first 10,000 yuan household in Lujiawan." ”

Before Huang Xinwen, a pig breeder in Zhongshan County, appeared in the newspaper, 10,000 households had become a slogan for rural development and farmers' prosperity. And later research, at that time, many people across the country became "10,000 yuan households", so Huang Custodian used this to joke.

And what really made this name famous all over the country was after Huang Xinwen became rich by raising pigs and appearing in the newspapers, but it is still two years away.

It's just that whether it was from the beginning of shouting this slogan, or after Huang Xinwen became famous all over the country, for a long time, this slogan was just a slogan for ordinary farmers.

Accountant Liu shook his head again and again, "Ten thousand yuan? I don't dare to think that I can earn one or two thousand, build a small building, and wake up with a smile when I sleep at night. ”

Security pointed at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "Then it depends on Xiao Chen's side business." ”
