After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 39

Early this morning, after breakfast, Grandpa Shen was about to go around the field.

Wang Weidong came to the door suddenly and asked Grandpa Shen to go to the mountain to hunt walnuts.

On the Laodong Mountain next to Qinghe Village, there are several century-old walnut trees, which can produce several thousand catties of walnuts every year.

This is a gift from nature to the villagers, and it does not belong to any one family alone.

Every year when the walnuts are ripe, the villagers will meet to crack walnuts on the mountain, or sell them, or give them away, or keep them for their own consumption.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people in the village will go to the mountain to hunt walnuts, and then sell them in the market for money.

In previous years, Grandpa Shen would also go, but this year he was busy selling grapes, so he didn't take care of it.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, fewer people buy walnuts, and fewer people go to Shanshan to hunt walnuts.

Wang Weidong smiled and said: "I went into the mountain yesterday to collect firewood, and saw that there were still a lot of fruits on the walnut tree on the mountainside, which should be several hundred catties. When the time comes, our two families will split up, and they will be eaten as snacks for the children. "

Shen Jiashu is about to take the college entrance examination in one year, and he heard that walnuts nourish the brain, and children eat them very well.

Grandpa Shen agreed without thinking, "Okay, wait, I'll get the basket."

Shen Qiuqiu, who was weaving bamboo baskets with his grandmother, couldn't sit still when he heard that he was going to go into the mountains to hunt walnuts.

He quickly raised his hand and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, wait for me, I will go too."

Shen Qiuqiu was going, and her little tail, Song Na, would naturally follow, and the walnut-hunting team grew a lot at once.

Qinghe Village is at the foot of Laodong Mountain, not far away.

Grandpa Shen drove them on a three-wheeled motorcycle, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain in a short while.

Tricycles cannot ride into the mountains, and the rest of the road can only be walked.

The road into the mountain is not easy, with overgrown grass and thorns.

Wang Weidong and Grandpa Shen walked ahead with sickles to open the way, while Shen Qiuqiu and Song Na followed slowly.

It took about half an hour to walk halfway up the mountain.

From far away, you can see the walnut tree Wang Weidong mentioned, which is a century-old walnut tree towering into the sky, with a very thick trunk, luxuriant branches and leaves, and lush greenery.

You can still vaguely see the numerous fruits on the treetops.

It was the first time Song Na saw such a tall walnut tree, and she couldn't help sighing: "Wow, this walnut tree is so tall, how many years does it take to grow so tall?"

Wang Weidong shook his head with a smile, "We had it when we were young. I heard from the older generation that it must be many years old. It is said that it is a hundred-year-old tree, but no one can tell how many years it has grown."

Despite the age of the century-old walnut tree, it grows vigorously and bears fruitful results year after year.

There are three or two long bamboo poles under the tree, which are put here by the villagers for cracking walnuts.

Because the walnut tree grows too high, you can't hit the walnut standing under the tree, you have to climb up the tree first.

Wang Weidong threw the back basket on the ground, and said to Grandpa Shen and the others: "Uncle Shen, please sit over there and rest for a while, and I will go up the tree and beat down the walnuts first."

After speaking, he quickly climbed up the tree.

Shen Qiuqiu was holding a gimbal to shoot, and seeing Wang Weidong climbed up the tree, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy.

Few children who grow up in the mountains can't climb trees.

When I was young, material life was relatively scarce, and there were not many recreational activities. Tree climbing was one of the most interesting recreational activities.

Especially when climbing to the highest point, the scenery is very beautiful. I feel that I can reach the white clouds in the sky with my hands, and I have an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Shen Qiuqiu, who has worked hard in the big city for so many years, has not climbed a tree for a long time...

The itchy Shen Qiuqiu handed the gimbal to Song Na, and taught her how to use it.

Then he ran happily to the bottom of the tree, found the right point of leverage, and jumped onto the tree in two or three strokes.

After climbing up the tree, he did not forget to turn around and make a scissors hand to the dumbfounded Song Na.

The girl with a bright smile is standing on a thick branch, with a lush green behind her. The sun shines through the leaves and casts jagged light and shadows, like stars falling behind the girl, as beautiful as a painting.

Song Na held the gimbal and took a clear picture of this scene.

Shen Qiuqiu was still climbing on the tree, his movements were nimble and light, like a little monkey.

You can feel the girl's agility and liveliness through the lens of the mobile phone.

Grandpa Shen, who was also standing under the tree, couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

Since her granddaughter went to college, she has calmed down a lot. It is rare to see such a lively moment.

While laughing, he reminded: "Xiao Hua, crawl slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Shen Qiuqiu stood on the tree trunk and responded loudly: "Hey, I got it!"

This walnut tree is very lush, with green branches and green leaves soaring into the sky. Standing under the tree, I can see that there are not many walnuts left.

I went up to the tree and peeled off the leaves, and there were still a lot of green walnuts hidden underneath.

The blue walnut skin burst open, revealing the golden walnut fruit, hanging all over the branches.

The fruit that can be picked by reaching out is picked and thrown on the ground.

Those who cannot reach high places have to be beaten with bamboo poles.

Cracking walnuts was hard work, Shen Qiuqiu was weak, and his hands became sore after holding up the bamboo pole for a while.

Wang Weidong asked her to pick the lower fruits, and he picked the higher fruits with a bamboo pole.

Shen Qiuqiu was happily picking it, when suddenly a rough and heroic singing sounded in his ears.

The singing voice is loud and soul-stirring. It is an unknown but familiar folk song ditty.

Shen Qiuqiu turned his head and looked, Wang Weidong was sitting on a branch not far away, cracking walnuts and singing folk songs at the same time, looking very casual.

Seeing her looking over, Wang Weidong smiled and invited her, "Niece, would you like to sing a song with your Uncle Wang?"

Shen Qiuqiu bent down with a smile, and quickly refused, "Uncle Wang, you can sing by yourself, I can't."

The two spent more than two hours picking on the tree, picking as much walnut as possible, otherwise it would be a waste if it rotted on the tree.

After the two came down from the tree, there were walnuts all over the ground under the tree. They took the back basket and started picking walnuts.

The two panniers were quickly filled, and the fertilizer bag Wang Weidong brought was half full.

Although it looks like a lot, but when you take it home and peel it, you have to fold more than half of it.

Wang Weidong was so strong that he put a bag of walnuts on his back basket and carried them down the mountain together, which saved him from running twice.

Grandpa Shen is also going to put the remaining half bag of walnuts on the basket.

Shen Qiuqiu quickly stopped, "Grandpa, you are too old to memorize so much, what should you do if you lose your waist for a while?"

With that said, I'm going to carry the basket.

How could Grandpa Shen let her carry it? The little girl's shoulders are delicate and tender, and the skin will be worn out after a while.

Seeing them arguing there, Song Na silently picked up the small half bag of walnuts.

"Grandpa, you're carrying a pannier on your back, I'll just carry the half of the bag."

After finishing speaking, the little girl walked down the mountain with half a bag of walnuts.

Song Na is used to doing farm work at home, and the weight of this half bag of walnuts is nothing to her.

With half of the weight lost, Grandpa Shen easily carried the back basket on his back without feeling too strenuous.

Shen Qiuqiu made an empty hand and silently followed behind them.

I thought: It seems that to be a qualified farmer, you still have to exercise your physical strength.
