Chapter 27

It's still early after dinner.

Chen Mo and Zhang Cheng went for a walk. The orchard was connected to the cement road outside.

It's still cool in the mountains at night.

"Queque said that his mistress has more than 100 acres of tea plantation for sale for 10,000+ yuan." Zhang Cheng said, "How do you feel about it?"

"There are a lot of camellia gardens abandoned, 10,000+100 acres, so it must be a camellia garden that didn't choose the right variety." Chen Mo said.

The last time I got together with Ning Que, I talked about the Camellia oleifera tree, so Chen Mo checked it online.

There are many pits for planting Camellia oleifera, the biggest of which is the seedling.Different camellia trees adapt to different climates and altitudes.

If you choose the right Camellia oleifera tree suitable for the local climate, planting Camellia oleifera is not bad.But if you pick the wrong species, you're all set.

"Maybe it's a management problem." Zhang Cheng said.

Chen Modao: "I also know the camellia oleifera garden that Ning Que mentioned. It is about ten years old and has been under management. If you want to say that it is a management problem, it is impossible. And even if it is a management problem, people can't manage it well. Okay, you can manage it after taking over?"

"Can those trees be re-grafted?"

"I don't know." Chen Mo changed the topic: "Some time ago, I heard that your father and Chen's second child had a quarrel. What's going on?"

"The seedlings raised by my godmother were not planted, so I asked my mother to take them back and plant them. They planted three-thirds of the field." Zhang Cheng scratched his head and continued: "The land next to the Xinqiao. Under my land is your second father. He also planted rice seedlings on our land. Some time ago, my godfather and godmother pumped water to your field, and they also pumped some for my field. The pump was full on one day, but there was no water the next day. It’s over. Your second dad’s field was originally dry, but it was full of water the next day.”

Chen Mo laughed.

Chen Laoer, father Chen's second brother, is one of the most difficult people in their production team.

"Is your field leaking?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"What's the water leaking? It's just water being released." Zhang Cheng added: "Remember my big field? It's still on top of your second dad's big field..."

Everyone in their production team knows about this.

The fields of Zhang Cheng's family are higher and those of Chen Lao'er's family are shorter.

Last year, the production team re-measured the land. Originally, their family's field was 1.1 acres. After the re-measurement, their field was 7 centimeters shorter.Chen Laoer's field was originally 0.93 acres, but after re-measurement, it became 1 acres.

Rural people should know how to shovel fields.

Shovel some at a time, shovel some at a time, accumulate over time...

If you know what it is to shovel fields in the countryside, you will know how excessive this thing is.

"And our family doesn't have fields next to them." Chen Mo said.

"Your second dad, you don't have a good relationship with your first dad either. According to my mother, they started working not long ago." Zhang Chengdao.

Chen Mo shrugged: "That was all a long time ago."

In rural areas, what I like to talk about most is gossip about the family's insecurities and family affairs.

Chen Mo talks about others.

Others will also talk about Chen Mo.I have heard people talking before about how old Chen Mo is, why he is not married yet...

"I heard that Li Qin's husband earns several million a year. What does he do?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Li Qin, a member of their production team, and Chen Mo were considered childhood sweethearts.They went to elementary school together, and their families were not far away. They often played together when they were young.

"I don't know, I have no contact with Li Qin." Chen Mo said.

"Do you know what Chen Yang is doing?"

"I don't know." Chen Mo shrugged: "I haven't seen him for a long time."

Chen Yang is Yaoba's son.The relationship between Chen Mo and Yao Ba is not bad.There are moves every year...

"Chen Yu installs billboards in Donglin, and it costs more than 3000 yuan a month." Zhang Cheng said again: "I saw him a few days ago, and his boss is my high school classmate, and I want to trip Chen Yu up." ..."

Chen Yu, the son of Chen Laoer.

"It's been more than 3000 for a month, why do you still want to make trouble?" Chen Mo was speechless.

"It's his parents, they're so awesome." Zhang Cheng said, "To be honest, apart from them, I've never seen such a difficult person."

When I walked outside the orchard and back, it was already dark.

When he got home, Chen Mo brought Zhang Cheng boots and eel clips.

Father Chen also put on his boots and brought a flashlight to Chen Mo and the others: "You two, be careful together."

"What about you?" Chen Mo looked at his father.

"Your mother and I will catch him at both ends, faster." Dad Chen said, and his father also walked out wearing boots.

Chen Mo took the bucket, Zhang Cheng took the clip, and went out with a flashlight.

The places where eels are found are mainly in water storage ditches.

The current water in the storage ditch is still very deep in some places, more than one meter.The place where the water is shallow is on the side of the mountain...

In rural areas, it is said that eels will come out to enjoy the cool air at night.In fact, eels should come out to look for food at night.

It's getting dark now, after eight o'clock, it's completely dark.It's past nine o'clock now.

When they came to the ditch, Xiao Hei, who was following Chen Mo, suddenly started barking, and the hair on his body stood up.

Chen Mo took the flashlight and looked at the place where Xiao Hei called. There was a cauliflower snake with a thick wrist beside the ditch.

"There's a snake in my grass." Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and the hairs all over his body stood up.

Chen Mo's parents looked over.

"Cauliflower snake, it's not poisonous." Zhang Cheng said as he dropped the clip and picked it over: "Take a picture for me."

"You want to catch a snake?"

"This snake is so big, it could be stewed in a pot."

"Be careful." Chen Mo said.

"Pay attention to safety." Mother Chen said.

Zhang Cheng's father and Yao father used to catch snakes everywhere and sell them or eat them themselves.

One time Chen Mo had dinner at Zhang Cheng's house, and they lied to Chen Mo that snake meat was chicken...

Chen Mo had eaten snake meat that time.

The cauliflower snake is non-venomous and is the most common local snake. It often appears in farmers' homes, eaves and roofs chasing rats.

Although this kind of snake is non-venomous, it has a rough temperament. When it is disturbed, it can raise its head and neck 20 to 30 centimeters above the ground, with its body in an "S" shape, ready to attack at any time.

Zhang Cheng startled the cauliflower snake, and the cauliflower snake raised its head.Zhang Cheng stepped back when he saw it. After a stalemate for more than a minute, the cauliflower snake swam away. After its head entered the grass, Zhang Cheng quickly grabbed the tail, lifted it up and swung it a few times, and shouted excitedly: "Haha , eat snake meat tomorrow.”

Chen Mo shook his head: "I don't want to eat this stuff."

Chen Mo doesn't eat snake meat, nor can he eat frogs, giant salamanders and other strange things.Especially after knowing that it was snake meat, the image of a snake appeared in Chen Mo's mind and he couldn't take off his chopsticks at all.

He doesn't eat those things, and he won't object to others eating those things.

Chen Mo and Zhang Cheng went back to the tile-roofed house, found a woven bag and threw the snake in: "Put it in your car, don't let it run away."

"I can't run away." Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "You really don't eat snake meat?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "I ate snake meat at your house once when I was a child."
