My village can't be like this

Chapter 185
Zhang Laosan planted these few acres of sheep and peaches at home this year, but he was often gossiped about.

Especially the few brothers in his family, none of them expected him to order.

Everyone said that he should put his mind on the crops, and don't be foolish to follow Zhang An to plant sheep and peaches.

It was said that Zhang An helped Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Jianye because they were blood relatives, uncles and nephews.

He Zhang Laosan is not a close relative, and he is afraid that he will be coaxed by Zhang An.

There is a saying that is good, don't be afraid of brothers living hard, only be afraid of brothers driving Luhu.

These words are applied to most of the brothers in the countryside, and they are not wrong at all.

Originally, the brothers were all farmers who devoted themselves to farming, but the third child suddenly wanted to do something with Zhang An to grow sheep and peaches.

It made them a little unaccustomed, either because they were worried that he would lose money, or that he would really get rich.

Originally, everyone was digging food from the ground, living the same standard of life, and everyone was very balanced in their hearts.

But the third child suddenly changed like this, and they were not used to it.

In case the third child suddenly becomes rich one day and can earn more money than them, life will definitely be better than them.

At that time, the originally relatively balanced heart will inevitably feel jealous.

In fact, they can also choose to try it like Zhang Laosan.

But this thing still needs some courage. They thought about it at the beginning, but they still couldn't make up their minds in the end.

Everyone is worried that they will not be able to make money in the end, the idea of ​​losing money.

So when the brothers usually talk to Zhang Laosan, they always persuade Zhang Laosan to be down-to-earth.

And Zhang Laosan's brothers and sisters all felt that they were doing it for Zhang Laosan's good.

In fact, it was nothing at first, although the honest words are harsh, but after talking too much, it is really different.

To Zhang Laosan's ears, it was as if the brothers didn't expect him to order well.

I have just planted sheep peaches, and everyone is so unfavorable to him.

Although I don't need them to be optimistic about myself, speaking like this is like cursing him that he won't have a good harvest.

Zhang Laosan has a stubborn temper, the more you dislike me, the more I will show you.

So Zhang Laosan made up his mind to take good care of these acres of sheep and peaches.

At that time, I must let those brothers in the family who are not optimistic about him take a good look at him.

So I usually see Huang Erye fattening the plum tree, and he also learns in a decent way.

Up to now, the weeds in his kiwi fields have been hoed clean.

In order to prevent other things from running in, a fence was specially made to surround it.

Today, I heard that Zhang An was looking for him because of the sheep and peach tree. Even if there is something to do, he should put it aside first.

When we arrived at Qingjiao's field, we could see that many yellow flowers had bloomed on the vine.

There are several bees flying around on these kiwifruit flowers collecting nectar.

Zhang An knew these bees, they were bumblebees raised at home.

"Look, these are male sheep peach trees. The flowers they bloom are different from the female ones. They won't bear fruit."

Zhang An took them to the side of the male plant and explained to everyone.

"But if there are only female trees, pollination will not be possible, and there will be no fruit after the flowers wither, so this is the reason why some male trees were planted when the trees were planted."

As Zhang An said, he began to teach everyone how to pollinate.

Now it is not like later generations, there are all kinds of pollination equipment.

So the method of pollination is very primitive, but relatively simple.

Just pick off the blooming male flowers on the male tree, and then paste them on the female flowers on the mother tree, just hit it twice.

If you are not familiar with it, you can post a few more.

One male flower is enough to pollinate a dozen female flowers.

And at the same time of artificial pollination, problematic flowers can also be cut off.

In the first year, there were few flowers blooming, so there was no need for work such as thinning flowers and fruits.

"Hey, it doesn't look so difficult."

Zhang Laosan read it once and knew what to do.

"It's really not difficult for a flower, but it will be difficult in the future. All flowers are pollinated one by one, and some people do it."

This year, the cost is not much, and it is easy to do, even if it is an adaptation period for them.

When these trees grow taller and bloom more next year, pollination will start to torture people.

"It's okay, as long as you can make money, it's just a matter of spending some time. This way of life is much easier than growing crops."

Zhang Laosan didn't care, this kind of way of life was much easier than carrying a corn bag.

Everyone stood in the field, watched Zhang An do it several times, and started picking male flowers to start pollination.

Although it looks simple just now, it is not easy to do.

The main reason is that they were not used to it at first, and they used too much force all of a sudden, destroying all the flowers on the vines.

On the contrary, Zhang An's two aunts, who probably did too much delicate work, pasted the flowers lightly and quickly completed the pollination.

But whether it is Zhang An's aunt or the two uncles, there is a problem.

That is saving, and it is always a habit to save in daily life.

When pollinating the flowers at this moment, I also adhere to the good habit of saving at ordinary times.

After picking a male flower, I was reluctant to throw it away for a long time.

"Second Uncle, can you not be so reluctant? There are so many flowers on this male tree, and it is enough to paste a dozen of them on each flower, otherwise the work to be done later will be for nothing. Even if you save it, those male flowers will not be worth it." It will work out."

Seeing them like this, Zhang An didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Even if Zhang An reminded them, in the process of pollination in the future, they will subconsciously pollinate a few more female flowers with one male flower.

In the end, I still counted one, two, three, four, five in my mouth, and kept counting to about ten before changing a new male flower.

But let’s not say it, this method is quite useful.

They used this method to force themselves, and after a few times they really got rid of this habit.

Zhang Laosan followed in the field and left the field after he was proficient in pollination.

Zhang An said that the peaches of this goat have a short flowering period, so the pollination should be done quickly.

He kept these words firmly in his heart, and when he got home, he would call out his wife.

The two went to their sheep and peach fields to do pollination.

In the past few days, Zhang An first taught Huang Erye's family to thin the plum trees.

Later, I helped pollinate the kiwi fruit of two uncles' families, and it took a few days to complete.

It is now late April and the canola harvest is still days away.

In other words, Zhang An can continue to be lazy for a few days.

Once the rapeseeds start to be harvested, the whole first half of the year will be busy.

"Uncle An, your cherries are ripe."

Early in the morning, shortly after Zhang An got up, the dolls in the village came to report to the yard.

"Really, don't you have to go to class?"

Zhang An looked at the time, it was past nine o'clock, these dolls should be in class.

"Tch, today is Saturday, we don't have to go to class, okay?"

It turned out to be Saturday again, Zhang An tapped his forehead, this thing is really hard to remember.

"Uncle An, the cherries are really red this time, just as red as my nosebleed last night."

Seeing that Zhang An didn't speak, they urged Zhang An again.

Seeing how impatient they were, Zhang An smiled and took them to Huangtu Slope to have a look.

Some of the cherries on the tree have indeed turned red.

"Look, Uncle An, we are right this time, right?" The furry boy still had a proud face when he spoke.

"Okay, you can go pick it, but there are a few requirements."

Zhang An paused for a moment before continuing: "One is not allowed to break the branches, the other is not to pick those that are not yet red, and the third is not to waste, pick as much as you can eat, do you hear me?"

"heard it."

Just after Zhang An finished speaking, a group of fart kids answered in unison.

Then I couldn't wait to find a tree and start picking cherries.

When I picked the cherry in my hand, I put it in my mouth without wiping it.

It can be seen that they have been holding back for several days.

The thing is like this, not long ago when the cherries on the tree were still very young.

Zhang An called them together and held a doll party.

Because they are a group of leather dolls who like to climb trees to pick things very much.

Many people in the village plant fruit trees such as cherries, peaches, or apricots.

Before they matured, many of them recruited their poisonous hands.

Zhang An also came here as a child, so he was very clear about their thoughts.

It doesn't matter whether you are ripe or not, whether it tastes good or not, just climb to the tree and pick it first.

And Zhang An has planted so many cherries in his own house, if he doesn't take care of them, he will inevitably be ruined.

The general meaning of the meeting was that when the cherries turned yellow, no one was allowed to pick them.

As a condition, wait until the cherries are ripe, put them in and eat as much as you want.

But if anyone picks them before they are ripe.

No one can go in and eat a cherry in the future, including visiting Zhang An's house.

It's not that Zhang An is reluctant to let them pick it, but that he wants to change their bad habits.

There are so many cherry trees planted in Zhang An's house, how much each baby can eat is five catties and ten catties.

Make sure that when the time comes, let them eat themselves to the point where they never want to eat cherries anymore, and feel like vomiting when they see cherries.

Yellow cherries can also be eaten, but they are not delicious, and they are easy to have diarrhea after eating.

Zhang An had personally experienced this matter when he was young.

This thing is more useful than the Jet War God of later generations.

If anyone is constipated, it is recommended to eat some unripe cherries.

This kind of policy of giving a candy with a stick made them, the dolls, obedient and obedient.

No one had ever climbed a tree to pick a cherry, and they served as rangers.

He specially helped Zhang An look at the forest, and when he saw other people picking cherries, he would not only stop them, but also tell Zhang An.

During the period when the cherries were not ripe, it was really a torment for these dolls.

Looking at the golden cherries, but unable to pick them, it was like being scratched by ants in my heart.

But they didn't dare not listen to what Zhang An said.

So I stare at this cherry forest every day, just want to see when it will mature.

Every time the golden cherries turned slightly red, they would run over to find Zhang An.

But after Zhang An saw it, he told them that they were not yet fully mature, and it was not yet possible.

As soon as these words were said, those dolls became dejected.

After finally waiting for the day when the cherries were ripe, Zhang An allowed them to pick them again.

One by one is like a wild horse that has run free. If you want to pick it all at once, you will be exhausted these days.

Several dolls are quite sensible, so after picking the cherries, bring them to Zhang An to taste.

Zhang An tasted a few and let them eat by themselves.

The children picked cherries, but Zhang An didn't intend to guard them.

Because when these children are good, they are very obedient, and they can listen to everything you say.

And among these dolls, there are a few older people who can control them.

After Zhang An went down the mountain, he thought about calling Ding Yi.

The cherries are ripe, so I have to tell him to bring something to pick them.

He picked up the phone and dialed the number of Ding's family. After the phone rang for a long time, no one answered.

Only then did Zhang An remember that when Ding Yi came over last time, he gave himself the number of his supermarket office.

Said that if no one answered the phone at home, maybe he was in the office, just call him directly.

Then Zhang An changed the number and dialed it. After two rings, someone answered.

But the person who answered the phone was not Ding Yi, but his wife Li Li.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Zhang An. Is Ding Yi here now? I have something to do with him."

Zhang An and Li Li met once, and they were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't find anything to chat about, so they just talked about business.

"It's Zhang An, Ding Yi is here, wait a minute, I'll call him over."

After a while, Li Li called Ding Yi over.

"Zhang An, I heard that you have something to do with me."

"Yes, I'm ready to pick cherries here, are you free?"

Zhang An didn't chat with Ding Yi either, and told the matter straight to the point.

"It's already familiar. Let's do it tomorrow. I'll take someone there tomorrow."

"That's fine, I won't go out tomorrow, I'll wait for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang An told his parents that tomorrow people from Ding will come to pick cherries.

It is necessary to call someone in the village to pick the cherries, because the people brought by Ding Yi are responsible for packing.

After hearing this, Wang Fang had a smile on her face.

She heard the children say that their cherries were ripe in the morning.

Just now, she went to the mountain to take a look in person, and the trees all over the mountain were full of cherries.

She even picked a few of them by herself and ate them, and the taste was still familiar.

The cherries in my house are still the same as the ones in the old house. They are big, small-pit and very sweet.

Now Zhang An said that Ding Yi would bring people over to pick it, which meant that the mountain of cherries would soon be turned into money.

So Zhang An just said that he would invite someone to pick cherries tomorrow, but instead of having any objection, Wang Fang offered to find someone.

At noon, someone actually came to the door.

These people, Zhang An, had the impression that they were tourists who came here to see the cherry blossoms at the beginning of the month.

"Boss Xiao Zhang, we're here again, this time we're here specifically for your cherries."

Zhang An was a bit wry at this address. Last time, Zhang An laughed at Zhou Yang and was called Boss Xiao Zhou.

I didn't expect that so soon, I was also called Boss Xiao Zhang by others.
