My village can't be like this

Chapter 703 Zhou Yang's Request

Zhou Yang's family also planted some kiwis like everyone else, but because they ran a restaurant, they only planted a few acres.

"My trees are four or five years old. If I don't give them electric fertilizer, they will return to their original state of loess slope. But you don't have to worry about yours. It's only been two years since they were planted. The base fertilizer buried at that time has not been digested yet. You can wait for two years."

I remember when we first started growing kiwi fruit two years ago, we were full of enthusiasm.

No matter whose house it is, before the New Year is over, they will go and clean the chosen place first.

It wasn't enough that the land was completely loosened, but piles of farm manure were also added to the field.

Wherever horse carriages can go, they are used to pull the goods. Wherever horse carriages cannot go, oxen and horses are used instead.

Those who really don't have cattle or horses will just carry the goods over manually, without any complaints about the effort.

In the end, a lot of wood ash was burned and mixed with farm manure to make a special base fertilizer.

The kiwi trees are not big to begin with, and if everyone does this, the base fertilizer alone can last for several years, which lays a solid foundation for your own orchard.

Moreover, the orchards managed by everyone are not big. Except for the few families with the largest orchards of more than ten acres, the others only have a few acres.

Such a small area can be managed without too much effort, and we can apply fertilizer again during our free time every year.

Therefore, there will be no lack of fertility in the kiwi fruit orchards in Changqing Village.

After all, not everyone is like Zhang An. After setting up the orchard, he just ignores everything. After a few years, the number of times he applies fertilizer is less than that of those who have only been in the orchard for two years.

However, Zhang An is not like others. He has the confidence that he can produce good fruits even without adding fertilizer.

"By the way, Yoko, I remember that your date is coming soon."

After chatting for a while, Zhang An suddenly remembered that Zhou Yang's wife was pregnant last year and it was almost time for her to give birth.

"Yes, the last time I went for a pregnancy checkup, the doctor said the due date is in the next two days. I came here just for this matter. I want to see if you have time tomorrow, Uncle An. If you do, I'll have to trouble you to take us to the hospital to wait for the birth."

When Zhou Yang heard this, he happily explained to Zhang An that he felt very happy when he mentioned the baby who was about to be born.

After all, they are of the same age. Every time he sees Zhang An carrying little Siqi outside to play, he is very envious and always hopes that his own child will be born soon.

Now that the time has finally come, he is getting more and more excited every day and can't wait to become a father.

However, Chen Wenwen was pregnant, and the whole family loved her very much.

The journey from the village to the county hospital for delivery is very long. Although the county road is very flat, the ride is too long.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and there will be too many people on the train or bus. The family is worried that Chen Wenwen will be squeezed with her big belly.

Normally when there is nothing important happening to their family, they don't want to trouble anyone.

This time, for Chen Wenwen and the baby in her belly, Zhou Yang immediately ran to find Zhang An.

With Zhang An driving them there, the journey would be much safer, and there wouldn't be that smell on the bus or train that Chen Wenwen, a pregnant woman, hated so much.

"I've finished my work these past two days. What else can I do? Besides, don't just say you have nothing to do. Even if you have something to do, you have to make time for it. Just tell me when you're leaving."

When Zhang An heard this, he agreed without even thinking about it.

The two are not only close relatives, but also friends who have grown up together.

In fact, even if other people in the village came to him and asked, Zhang An would agree, let alone Zhou Yang.

"It's tomorrow morning. The due date has already arrived in the past two days. It would be more reassuring if we go to the hospital early. Otherwise, if the little guy is in a hurry to come out, it will be troublesome."

For most daughters-in-law in the village, giving birth will only go away after the reaction occurs in the few days before the birth.

But Zhou Yang's entire family, from top to bottom, wanted to go to the hospital as soon as possible so that they would feel more at ease with doctors watching over them.

After all, other people do that just to save on hospitalization fees. Being admitted to the hospital one day earlier means spending one more day's money.

Zhou Yang's family has never thought about this problem. Although they are not very rich now, they are already much better off. There is no need to joke with their own children just to save a little money.

"That's true. Going to the hospital a day earlier will give you peace of mind if anything happens. Bah, bah, bah, what's wrong with me? I'm sure there will be nothing wrong."

Zhang An took over the conversation and said just two sentences before immediately realizing that it was not appropriate for him to say this, so he quickly spat it out.

"But before going to the hospital, you must pack everything you need. Even though it's only a few days, it will be troublesome if you don't prepare everything."

Afterwards, Zhang An gave Zhou Yang some suggestions. In this regard, he was already an experienced veteran.

"That's for sure. My mom has already started doing it two months ago, and it's not even my turn yet."

Zhou Yang said this somewhat helplessly, but the smile on his face didn't show any helplessness at all.

"Hahaha, Sister Zhou is anxious to have a grandson, so she won't let you do it. If you were asked to prepare by yourself, you would definitely have a headache."

Before Xiao Siqi was born, Zhang An's own family was like this. All matters were taken care of by the two grandmothers, Wang Fang and Wu Qiuping, and there was no place for Zhang An to intervene.

He originally wanted to say something, but in the end he realized that a lot of things that needed to be prepared required experienced people to do it.

If people like them who have no experience were asked to do it, something would definitely go wrong.

"Zhang Sihei~~Zhang Sihei~~Quickly get rid of the pills."

While the two were talking, a childish voice came from outside the door.

Without looking, just by listening to the voice, Zhang An knew that it was Ding Zijie, because he was the only one who would call Xiao Siqi like that.

Sure enough, before the voice ended, Ding Zijie appeared at the gate of the courtyard, followed by his father Ding Yi.

This little guy is a few months older than little Siqi, but he started talking a little later. Even now, his pronunciation is still a little unclear when he speaks.

When he called out "Zhang Siyi", he was actually calling out "Xiao Siqi".

"Hey, our little boy is here, and he even brought some delicious food with him. Come and give some to your godfather."

When Zhang An saw Ding Zijie’s chubby little hands holding a small pile of snacks, he immediately teased him.

"Well, no, I just want to understand Zhang Siyi."

When Ding Zijie heard this, his little head immediately shook like a rattle and he directly rejected Zhang An as his godfather.

Because the snacks in his hand were specially brought by him for his good friends. If he gave them to others, little Siqi would have nothing left.

Ding Zijie has loved staying close to little Siqi since he was still in his cradle. I guess it's because the two little guys are close in age and have always had a lot of common topics since they could only babbled.

After these two years, the two little guys are almost like real brothers.

Once, the fat man saw that the two little guys had such a good relationship, and he joked that it was a pity that both of them were boys. If one of them was a girl, they would be childhood sweethearts. With such a good relationship, they could definitely arrange a marriage for them.

After rejecting Zhang An, Ding Zijie quickly took his snacks and ran into the house to find Xiao Siqi.

While searching, he also shouted.

"Okay, no need to look for him. Our little Siqi is out with his grandmother and is not at home."

Seeing that the little guy was hiding from him, Zhang An decided not to tease him anymore.

"Alright, alright, come here quickly, Zhang Siqi will be back soon."

Ding Yi just shouted at him and ignored him. He took a stool and sat with Zhang An and Zhou Yang.

After all, his son comes here several times a day, and now for Ding Zijie, this place is no different from his second home.

Ding Zijie didn't listen to them and looked around the house on his own. When he didn't find anyone, he came out disappointed.

On weekdays, he also likes to play with Xiao Siqi and several other big dogs like Xiaohu.

Even though Xiaohu and the others are usually very enthusiastic towards the two little guys, that’s all because of the presence of their little master, Xiao Siqi.

Now Xiao Siqi is not here, only Ding Zijie is here, and Xiaohu and the others are not even willing to turn over.

However, Ding Zijie also has his own way. When he sees that several big dogs ignore him, he takes out snacks to attack.

After feeding them, Da Mao and his brothers were willing to get up and play with Ding Zijie. After all, they should be grateful for what they received.

Ding Zijie, who was having a great time playing with several big dogs, seemed to have forgotten that the snacks he brought were for his good friends.

"Old Zhou, your kid will be born soon, right? When will that be? We elders can prepare gifts for the little guy as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhou Yang, Ding Yi asked with a smile.

This year, he goes back to the village every few days, and often sees Chen Wenwen with a big belly.

"Hahaha, then you better hurry up, the due date is in the next two days, I'm afraid there won't be much time left."

Zhou Yang is a relatively introverted person, but after getting to know Ding Yi and the others, he becomes quite cheerful when speaking.

"Then congratulations on becoming a father. From now on, the two boys will have new playmates. Usually, it's just the two of them, and they feel a little lonely."

Ding Yi immediately raised his hands and congratulated Zhou Yang.

He has always wanted his son to have more friends to play with, but unfortunately, there are not many children of the same age as the two little guys in the entire Changqing Village.

Moreover, those children are all from the lower village. They rarely come to the upper village to play, so they don’t know each other at all, let alone play together.

"When are you going to be admitted to the hospital? It's not convenient in the hospital. You can come to our place to cook after you arrive. It's not far from the hospital anyway. If there are many people going, you can go there at night."

Going to the hospital to give birth requires at least three to five days, or even longer, so eating is very inconvenient.

If you are just an ordinary patient, you can just spend some money to buy some at the nearby stores.

But it’s different for pregnant women. There are many things they should avoid before and after the birth of the baby, and the food bought outside is not nutritious. It would be best to make it by themselves, but the conditions are simply not available in the hospital.

However, as a friend, Ding Yi immediately lent it to him from his home.

"I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to give birth. It's only a few days. I won't bother you anymore."

Although they are all friends, Zhou Yang still thinks that he should try not to trouble others if he can.

"Why bother you? The place is already vacant. Your sister-in-law and I are not there. You can just go there directly. I will send you the key in the evening."

After a few years, Ding Yi also knew what kind of person Zhou Yang was and made the decision immediately.

Their house was actually quite spacious, but ever since his parents and grandparents brought Ding Zijie to live in the village, he and Li Li would come back whenever they had time, so they simply set up a lounge next to the supermarket, leaving the house empty.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Ding Yi has already said so, it would be a bit ignorant for Zhou Yang to refuse again.

And he actually wanted to find a place where he could cook so that he could solve his own meals. That would be much better than buying food outside. After all, he was a chef.

"What's the big deal? We're all brothers, so don't talk about this."

Ding Yi waved his hands repeatedly. He would only say this if Zhou Yang was worthy of him. If not, he would not even say this.

Half a while later, Wang Fang came back with Xiao Siqi from visiting.

As soon as Ding Zijie saw Xiao Siqi, he immediately ran up to him and the two brothers started to get into a fight.

The stinky thing on Xiao Siqi's body immediately climbed onto his shoulders.

There is no doubt about the appearance of this guy Chouchou, who is very popular among children. As soon as Ding Zijie saw it, he liked it very much.

"Zhang An, what is that thing on your little Siqi's shoulder? Is it a squirrel?"

When Ding Yiyi saw Chou Chou, he didn't recognize it was a snow ferret. He knew that Zhang An's family had raised squirrels, so he thought they had brought in a new one.

Because they were not far away, Chouchou obviously heard what he said and immediately started cackling at him, as if saying, you are the squirrel.

"It's not a squirrel. Have you ever seen a black and white squirrel? It's a little ferret."

Zhang An waved at Chouchou, and the little thing jumped off Xiao Siqi and ran to Zhang An.

"This thing is said to be quite ferocious. How did you tame it into this state?"

Seeing the little ferret being more obedient than a dog around Zhang An, Ding Yi couldn't help but ask.

"It's still small and was born not long ago, so it's not difficult to tame it."

It's a stinky and soft piece, and Zhang An can manipulate it into any shape he wants.
