Chapter 114 Fruit Tree
Li Sanzhu went to pull fruit trees early in the morning, and Li Qiusui said to go to the top of the mountain first.

I made a mark for planting fruit trees two days ago. There are many herbs growing on the mountain. I am afraid that people will spoil the herbs left by her. For example, wolfberries can be picked in more than a month, and there are ponds at the foot of the mountain. The pugen on the table has a very long age. It can be dug out and processed, and it can be soaked in water to drink directly.

Mrs. Liu handed over the kitchen to Hongying, and she couldn't stay idle, so she and Li Qiusui went out with a basket on their backs.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard door, he saw Mrs. Ma sitting at the door picking vegetables. The two courtyards were next to each other. If there was any movement from this side, she would look this way from the other side.

Liu Shi called out, "Auntie."

Li Qiusui followed suit, "Grandma Ma."

Life in the village is like this, regardless of whether they are of the same surname or not, if there is no deep hatred, you must say hello when you see them.

"...What are you doing here? I heard that your family has finished all the work in the field. There are so many people in the family, and you two need to work?"

The old lady looked at people with the attitude of a long chat.

Mrs. Liu said: "You are always busy, we girls will talk when you are free."

While talking, the pace didn't stop at all.

The couple went to the foot of the mountain, and some people even went up the mountain with things like shovels.

Mrs. Liu, "They are all from the village. It must be your grandfather, your uncle who asked for help. Come on, let's go up and have a look."

On the mountain, Mrs. Zhang led Li Xiu'er, and told her not to run around, seeing Mrs. Liu, "I also said that you two should have come up."

Li Qiusui shouted, "Auntie, sister Xiu'er."

Mrs. Liu said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here... After all the hard work, I can rest at home for two days."

"Mother wanted to come over, but I and the head of the family stopped me. Dad also said that the road on the mountain is not easy to walk, so that's all... Let me hurry over and see if I can help..."

Liu Shi and Zhang Shi stood there talking.

Li Qiusui went to talk about making marks, "Master, uncle, plant fruit trees where there are marks, and leave the rest alone." Afraid that they would not pay attention, he pointed to the goosegrass and said, "...those are herbal medicines. , it’s not the harvest season right now, and that piece of plantain grass can be used as medicine if processed.”

Everyone in the family knows that she is studying medicine, and if they say it is herbal medicine, then keep it.

Li Xiu'er listened impatiently to her mother and Liu's chatter, and felt a little worried about the little cousin of the third uncle's family.

During the past few days when Li Qiusui came to Li Qiusui's house, Li Xiu'er kept avoiding people, mainly because she was asked how many words she knew when she disagreed with her.And embroidery...Her mother seems to be possessed, and urges her to learn when she is free.

God knows, she would rather go to the fields to do coolies than suffer that.

Seeing Li Qiusui gesticulate there, I felt angry, and said with a sneer, "After two years in Fucheng, I really know everything! Those grasses can be seen everywhere... When they are tender, you can get some. Hey rabbit, hey Feed the pigs, it's already May, feed the pigs, the pigs are too sick!"

In Li Qiusui's spare time, Li Xiu'er had been standing there for a long time, and she didn't have time to talk to her right now, "What are you doing here? If you talk too much, believe it or not, I'll tell my aunt!"

Li Xiu'er curled her lips and murmured, 'Successful'.

If you complain, you can sue, as long as you can keep your mouth shut.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Sanzhu came back to visit the fruit trees, and was already driving the mule cart up the mountain.

Because it is five cents for planting a fruit tree, there is no need for people to urge it. Li Dazhu and the old man helped to record who planted which fruit tree, and they will give the copper to them tonight. Maybe more people will come tomorrow .

In the past, the top of the mountain was not owned by our family, so if we left it here, it would be left unused, but now it belongs to our own family.

Li Guangmao hasn't slept well for the past two days. As for the 200 taels of silver, I told him earlier that I would stop people if I said anything.

Li Qiusui turned around.

The fruit trees selected by Li Sanzhu are all more than three years old, with a lot of fruit hanging on them. The soil balls at the roots are very large, and the straw ropes are tied firmly. A mule cart looks like three trees.

The fruit trees were all selected, and the tree seller hired someone to dig them up. Zhao Da would lead them on the next trip, and Li Sanzhu would stay at home.

Mrs. Liu said that she would stay and take a look. Seeing that her parents were there, Li Qiusui wandered back home alone.

Li Xiu'er saw that Li Qiusui was gone, and hurriedly chased after him, "Sui Sui!"

Li Qiusui didn't stop to wait for someone, Hongying was making zongzi at home, and she had to go back and watch.

Li Xiu'er quickly caught up, "Sui Sui, why don't you wait for me..."

Don't wait for you, didn't you catch up too.

Li Xiu'er took a deep breath and asked, "Li Zhenzhen and that Shen Yao from Orion's house... have made an appointment, do you know about it?"

What did these two have to do with her? Every time Li Zhenzhen saw her, she made a detour.

What's more, I'm so busy with my family's affairs, how can I have the leisure to care about other people.

"Sister Xiuxiu, where did you recite the "Three Character Classic" last time? Oh...it seems to be that if you don't cut jade, you can't make it. People don't learn, and they don't know righteousness. Your speed is not good. My sister can memorize three hundred thousand It's over, I also recited two poems about busy farming yesterday, otherwise, you come home with me, the three of us ask for advice?"

Hate!Li Xiuer stomped her feet.

If you can’t say a few words, it’s either the Three Character Classic or the Three Hundred Thousand Poems, and there are no poems about busy farming, and you can’t finish the work on the fields, so how can you have the time to get those.

The people in the third uncle's family are all idle, or they are burned with money.

It's not money burning!Don't look at the helpers on the top of the mountain, they are working harder than the other, and they are all muttering this in their hearts!

After the work on the farm is over, I have to come here to earn this money. It costs five cents for a tree, and one male laborer can plant four or five trees a day. More than 20 Wen, even if you go to the county town, you can't earn it!

As for the fruit tree bearing fruit, whether it can bear fruit in autumn is the business of Li Sanzhu's family. They planted it according to what they said. They agreed that the money would be settled on the same day. It's a day's work.

Li Qiusui didn't know what he was thinking, she scared Li Xiu'er away and ran into Ma Liuzi head-on.

"Sui Sui, does your family really give you five cents for a fruit tree?"

Is this kind of thing deceptive?

Li Qiusui, "Uncle Ma is also going to plant fruit trees! Then hurry up, there are many people on the mountain. My father and the others can only bring a dozen or so trees when they go there. If you go late, you can only wait for the next one."

Ma Liuzi likes to play tricks in his work, Li Dazhu didn't go to his house to find someone at all, Mrs. Ma was at the door of her house, saw Li Sanzhu passing by with a fruit tree, asked someone for a few words, and then found out about it, hurriedly dismissed The younger son is here.
