Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 305 Saplings
Just after May Day, Lu Changhua drove a Changhe 100 tractor to Beishan.

Most of the snow on the northern mountain has melted away, exposing the fallen leaves and dead wood on the hillside.

The moss and dirt were damp.

He tried to drive the tractor in the direction of Blueberry Valley, but he only reached the ridge and could go no further.

One is that the road is not that wide, and there are miscellaneous trees everywhere.

The second one is that the slope down to the valley is too steep and there is no way to go down.

Three or one is just too slippery. No matter how powerful the tractor is, it won't be able to stand. It has no place to use its strength.

He had to drive the tractor back to the farm.

I locked the car and entered the adobe house.

First, light the iron stove in the house to disperse the moisture in the room.

The temperature difference between morning and evening is so big here that it can't be done without turning on the stove.

The three Xiong Bao brothers will follow you at any time.

With the three of them here, Lu Changhua became much more courageous.

That night, they didn't go home and slept directly in the adobe house.

Early the next morning, Erhong drove a Changhe tractor, pulling a trailer, firewood, rice, oil and salt tools and a carload of people to Beishan.

Leaving the cook behind to cook, the others hiked to Blueberry Valley with scissors and ropes.

Some of these people had worked in Blueberry Valley. They knew the way and walked faster, with Lu Changhua and Erhong following behind.

In the past few days, it rains occasionally in the mountains, and then it clears up again, and so on.

It was sunny yesterday, but a little cloudy today.

Everyone stumbled all the way to Blueberry Valley with steamed buns, pickles, and water.

Along the way, the dead grass has turned green, and the branches of the miscellaneous trees have revealed their buds.

The person clearing the road in front will clear away the dead branches on the road and throw them on the side of the road.

This road has been trampled by people many times and has become a path.

Not only that, they went down to the valley and walked eastward. They were not the only ones to walk on this road, but there were also many roe deer footprints.

The roe deer in the valley had already set off, walking ahead of Lu Changhua and the others.

An hour later, the person in front shouted: "We have caught up with the roe deer."

Lu Changhua took a look and saw a few roe deer greedily eating the tender grass on the roadside, blocking everyone's way.

"The past is the past."

Someone stepped forward and patted the roe deer's butt.

These guys seemed to wake up suddenly, startled, jumped to the side, and got out of the way.

The crowd swarmed by.

Lu Changhua walked up to the roe deer.

These guys stretched their heads and cupped his hands with their mouths.

He stroked them a few times and left with the baby bears.

When the three Xiong Bao brothers saw these guys, they whimpered a few times and stopped talking to them.

He followed behind his master in a hurry.

Along the way, they met many straggler roe deer, and everyone got along well.

After walking through the forest and arriving on the ridge of Blueberry Valley, we immediately saw several thatched houses on the west side of the valley.

That is Professor Han's house.

"It's here, it's here."

Everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the thatched house.

Knocked on the door, no one was in the room.

Everyone shouted towards the valley.

"Professor Han, Professor Han~"

After a while, I heard someone answer in the distance.

They opened the door and walked in.

The room is simply decorated but very clean and tidy.

After a while, Wei Kairan ran back panting.

Seeing that it was Lu Changhua and the others, they asked: "Classmate Lu, what are you..."

"Didn't you say transplanting blueberries? I'll bring someone to transport the branches."

"Oh, you haven't come these days, the teacher is studying other things. Did you bring the scissors?"

"Yes, we also brought a rope. The road here is difficult, so we can only carry it manually."

Wei Kairan took everyone to find Professor Han.

Han Chuan also saw this group of people.

He put down his research and walked this way.

Most of the snow in the valley has melted.

Blueberry trees stand among the weeds.

The ground was muddy and difficult to walk on, leaving black footprints on the snow.

"Xiao Lu, are you here?"

"Yes, Professor, the transplant is about to happen now."

"Okay, I'll teach you how to cut it."

Han Chuan took out a pair of scissors from his bag.

The people who came to work gathered around.

"Look, we need to select plants that are not too short. The branches are intact and have sprouts. Start from here and cut them diagonally."

Han Chuan demonstrated on a blueberry tree, using scissors to cut off a section of the main trunk with a few buds.

"This is considered a complete and qualified sapling."

"Put it aside and then cut the others. It's best to just take one cutting from a blueberry tree."

Han Chuan demonstrated carefully.

Someone imitated the pattern, cut one, and showed it to Professor Han.

After receiving the affirmation, more and more people began to cut seedlings in the same way.

"Hey, you guys, please stop cutting. Gather the saplings they have cut and tie them up, and carry them back later." Several people were responsible for bundling the saplings together, while the stronger ones were responsible for carrying them back.

Fifty or sixty of them bundled together can weigh more than ten kilograms.

Although it is not very heavy, it is a long way and difficult to walk.

Lu Changhua stipulated that everyone must memorize it in shifts.You can't point at a few fixed people. Wouldn't that make you a tired and stupid boy?
In fact, everyone knows that pruning branches is light but carrying seedlings is tiring.

Therefore, Lu Changhua's instruction made all thoughtful people stop thinking, that is, it is something to be memorized sooner or later.

In this way, the person who memorizes it first will not have any objection.

Lu Changhua asked Erhong to supervise here, and he also walked back with a bundle on his back.

He was still worried. If someone threw the branches away on the way or didn't put them away when they got back, it would be in vain.

Stop and go along the way.

When you feel tired from walking, sit down and rest, and then walk again when you feel better.

The three Xiong Bao brothers were not tired and ran back with them.

After passing through the valley and climbing up the ridge, you can see the farm in the distance with green smoke rising.

When they arrived at the farm gate, Lu Changhua led them to carry the branches to the river.

The banks of this creek have melted, and the spring breeze ruffles the water.

Untie the string and submerge the trunk below these branches in water, this will keep the branches alive for several days.

After putting these branches away, several people took the ropes and returned to the adobe house.

As soon as we walked in, everyone said they were exhausted.

Some people say they are hungry.

The chef has already steamed the buns.

"Let's have dinner."

He brought steamed buns and fried cabbage.

Several people devoured it.

The three Xiong Bao brothers are also tired.

They ate at the table and the three brothers ate under the table.

After eating, some people drank boiled water, while others smoked to relieve their fatigue.

When working in the mountains and forests, pay attention to fire prevention.

No one can smoke outdoors.

So, along the way, these guys were holding back and could only let go when they returned to the house.

Lu Changhua took out his cigarettes and passed them around.

"Boss, you are really good at not smoking yourself and always keeping cigarettes ready. I admire you!"

Someone was flattering Lu Changhua.

Boss Lu doesn’t smoke, but he always carries cigarettes with him.

"Haha, I prepared this for everyone."

When everyone heard this, their hearts felt warm.

It feels so comfortable to work for such a boss.

Everyone rested for another half hour.

I got up consciously and headed all the way towards Blueberry Valley.

After walking through the mountain road once, I became familiar with the road conditions and walked much faster than in the morning.

We arrived at Blueberry Valley in just over an hour.

Many branches have been tied up in the valley.

Seeing that Lu Changhua and the others were back, a few of these people separated, picked up the branches and walked back.

"Put it to the river and submerge the main trunk in the water."

"Okay, got it."

These people agreed and left.

Those who carried the branches followed the example of others and cut the branches.

Seeing the sun setting in the west, Lu Changhua said goodbye to Professor Han and Student Wei, agreeing to come back tomorrow.He led everyone back with their branches on their backs.

The setting sun dyes the clouds on the horizon red, and the mountains and forests are also covered with golden light.

The three Xiong Bao brothers barked and greeted the roe deer wandering in the distance.

As soon as Lu Changhua led everyone up the hillside, the wandering roe deer gathered on their side of the mountain road.

As soon as their front feet left, the roe deer followed them by stepping on their footprints.

When they climbed up the ridge and saw the adobe houses in the distance, the roe deer also entered the valley one after another.

"These roe deer have also recognized their way, and the valley has become a roe deer ditch." Someone joked after seeing this scene.

"Don't mention it, the name Roe Zigou is quite appropriate."

Lu Changhua heard from behind and said something.

"Then we'll call it Roe Zigou from now on. It's good. It saves us from even having a name."

Everyone exchanged words with each other and soon went down the hillside.

I dipped the branches on my body into the river water again, and then slowly walked into the dormitory.

At this time, the group of people who had returned early were resting in the adobe house. Seeing that everyone had returned, they started bragging to each other.

Someone mentioned the name Roe Zigou, and everyone said it was a good name, and it was called that way from now on.

The big iron pot in the kitchen made a sizzling sound.

Just smelling the fragrance makes your mouth water.

"Wash, wash, wash..."

Erhong said hello to wash their faces, and everyone lined up to wash their faces.

Strange to say.

Er Hong was so stuttering, but none of these bastards dared to laugh at him, and even deliberately forgot that he was a stutter.

Even many people used to make jokes about Er Hong and say how his wife was doing, but now no one dares to say it.

Lu Changhua looked at Er Hong, who was standing in the middle of the room with a serious face, and sighed in his heart.

Erhong has changed after all.
