Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 246 The Tangerine Sapling Arrives

This morning, Gao Mingcheng had just returned from the mountains carrying two large bags of camellia seeds. Halfway up the mountain, he saw a familiar old pickup truck parked in front of his house.

There are some citrus saplings piled up in the trunk of the pickup truck.

As soon as Gao Mingcheng saw this, he knew that Xiao Jinfeng must have brought him the Tangerine saplings!

So the speed of his feet was a little faster, but when he came to the door of the house, he didn't see Xiao Jinfeng, but Gao Mingwan.

Gao Mingwan was sitting on the bench, drinking water.

Seeing his return, Duo Mei immediately smiled and said, "Ming Wan has brought you sugar orange saplings back! Do you think they are planted now? Do you want to call for help?"

Gao Mingwan also stood up and said, "I followed the boss to Guangdong this trip. I was afraid that the oranges would be spoiled. I drove all day and night. I just arrived in the county this morning. But after breakfast, the boss pretended to be The truckload of goods went to the provincial capital, and there is another truckload of goods that will be sold in the county. I will send these saplings to my second brother. Oh, besides the saplings, the boss also sent ten catties of oranges to my second brother to eat. "

Gao Mingwan has also been in the transportation company for several months. He is hardworking and willing to work, and the master of the transportation company is willing to teach him everything he can, so he naturally learned to drive and repair cars early.

These days, the road conditions are bad and there are few car repair shops on the roadside, so drivers generally have to learn how to repair their cars. Have to fix it yourself.

Gao Mingwan can't repair the car by himself, but it is still possible to drive with someone else. For example, for such a long distance, in order to catch up with time, he has to drive during the day and night, so Gao Mingwan drives during the day, while his master is in the car. When driving at night, the two drivers take turns to rest, and the goods can be transported to the destination at the fastest speed.

The business of the transportation company has two parts, one is to undertake the entrusted shipment of others, and the other is to find the goods and find sales channels to sell them.Some goods have preservation requirements, so the transportation time is very important.

Gao Mingcheng looked at Gao Mingwan, and felt that the third brother had experienced a lot after he went to work in the transportation company, and his temperament had changed a lot compared to before.

Of course, this is a good change.

He went to see the saplings piled up on the pickup truck, and said to Duomi, "Duomei, call your brother to help!"

These saplings have been on the road for several days. Although the roots of the trees are covered with soil and wrapped with wet straw to keep moisture, they must be planted as soon as possible.

Trees can be planted in autumn, but the survival rate in autumn is lower than that in spring, and the trees must be planted before the temperature turns cold to let the trees take root.

Duomei responded, and quickly ran towards her second sister's house.

Gao Mingcheng opened the bag that was thrown on the ground before, poured the tea seeds inside into the yard, and then prepared to plant trees.

Gao Mingwan looked at the tea seeds all over the yard, feeling envious spontaneously.

With so many tea seeds, how much tea oil can be squeezed out!His second brother is too capable!
"Ming Wan, do you want to sleep for a while?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Gao Mingwan shook his head and said, "I didn't drive the car at night, and I'm not sleepy now. The boss said, give me a day off, and let me go to the company tomorrow morning."

"I'll help my second brother plant it together. I'll drive the car to the foot of Xiaofushan first." Gao Mingwan said, got into the pickup truck, and then drove the car to the foot of Xiaofushan.

This road was specially repaired by Gao Mingcheng, just for the convenience of traffic.

On the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, there is also a large flat open space, which is reserved for building a shed, storing tools for planting trees and enjoying the shade.

"Ming Wan, how many saplings are there in total? How much does it cost?" Gao Mingcheng asked while removing the saplings from the cart.

Gao Mingwan jumped out of the car to help after parking the car, and said, "Not many, just over 100. No one is willing to sell saplings over there, and at this time, there are even fewer saplings to be found. The sugar oranges are easy to sell, and you can’t buy them in a few places if you want to snap up them. Later, the boss drove to a village farther away. It was negotiated. As for how much it will cost, I don’t know.”

From Gao Mingwan's mouth, I learned that these saplings were not easy to come by.

Gao Mingcheng was more grateful to Xiao Jinfeng in his heart, if it wasn't for getting these saplings for himself, he wouldn't have taken a long way.

But he was most concerned about the quality of Tangju, so he asked, "How about the Tangju in that village? Are they worse than those from other places?"

Gao Mingwan said: "It's not too bad, the varieties are the same, but the village is in the mountains, there is no road repair, it is difficult for trucks to get in, and it is not so convenient to load."

Gao Mingcheng was relieved when he heard that, if the quality of the oranges was not good, then Xiao Jinfeng would not earn much by making this trip, and the saplings he got were not good.

The two brothers were talking and working at the same time. Gao Mingcheng asked Gao Mingwan to put the saplings into the pits he had dug earlier, one for each sapling.

He brandished a hoe to fill in the soil.

When the filling was almost done, Gao Mingwan supported the saplings, and then Gao Mingcheng used a hoe to compact the soil so that the saplings could take root more easily.

When they had just planted the two trees, Duomei and Zhang Chengyuan also came over.

So they also joined the tree planting team. Their group consisted of many beautiful trees and Zhang Chengyuan hoeed the soil.

With the cooperation of two or two, the speed of planting trees is very fast. The main reason is that the pit has been dug in advance and the fertilizer has been mixed in advance.

Gao Mingcheng counted while planting, and there were a total of [-] saplings.

Well, this number is quite auspicious, I hope every sapling can survive.

After planting a tree, you can't rest because you still have to water it.

The sky is dry this year. Planting trees at this time, the temperature is fine, but there is a shortage of water!Therefore, after the tree was planted, Gao Mingcheng had to water it every day.

Fortunately, there is a pond at the foot of the mountain, and it is relatively convenient to use water.

Lifting water is a laborious task. Gao Mingcheng didn't let Duomi do it, and Duomi didn't insist. Instead, he said, "I'm going back to cook. Ming Wan, brother, you all have dinner at my house at noon today."

Both Gao Mingwan and Zhang Chengyuan agreed.

It is very common for relatives to help with things, and then it is normal to have a meal at the house of whoever you do things for.

It was already noon when the three of them watered all [-] saplings.

"Let's go home and have dinner." Gao Mingcheng greeted the two of them and went down the mountain together.

Gao Mingwan got into the pickup truck and was about to drive there. Gao Mingcheng and Zhang Chengyuan simply sat in the back of the truck to save walking.

It was the first time for Zhang Chengyuan to take a pickup truck, excited with restraint.

Well, there is no man who doesn't like cars.

When I got home, Duomi had already cooked the meal. She was very quick to do things. There were four dishes on the table. There were not many dishes, but the portion of each dish was not bad. One was stir-fried rabbit meat, one was scrambled eggs with green peppers, One fried cabbage, one fried pumpkin.

"There is no good food today, let's just eat it." Gao Mingcheng greeted everyone with a smile. There was really no good food. He caught this rabbit in the morning, and the rest were vegetarian dishes, all of which he had at home.

"How beautiful, you go get that ginseng wine and pour a glass for each of you." Gao Mingcheng said to Duomi, and Duomi responded and went to get the wine and pour it.

The ginseng wine is brewed from the ginseng I bought myself, and it was brewed last year, which is already very tasty.

So for this meal, the dishes are average, but there is wine to moisten the mouth.
