Chapter 19 Planting Fruit Trees

After finishing the work on the bugs, there was no more bayberry to pick, and the double grab would take more than half a month, Ji Xinmiao thought of those persimmon trees: "Brother, tomorrow you and Kun Le will dig some persimmon trees and come back. "

Ji Kunping asked suspiciously: "Sister, can I dig it out and plant it alive now?"

Ji Xinmiao said: "I can definitely live, but this year's persimmons may not be ripe."

Ji Kunping suggested again: "Sister, how about digging it up and planting it next year? There will be more persimmon trees this year."

Ji Xinmiao thought for a while: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to my mother's house often next year. There must be a way to move the tree to survive, so I'll dig it tomorrow. I don't know who has fruit trees in the village. Can you find them?" They come back with a branch or two."

"Cut a branch? Sister, can a branch survive?"

Facing Ji Kunping's curiosity, Ji Xinmiao said: "Didn't Miss Jiang take me to live in Jiang's ancestral home for two years during her filial piety? The uncle who planted flowers not only taught me how to cure bugs, but also He taught me how to graft fruit trees. He taught me to find a suitable mother tree and graft the branches of the cut fruit trees to grow into a new fruit tree."

"Ah? Big sister, is this master so good?" Ji Kunping felt that this big sister really had an adventure, and she was a lucky person to learn so many useful things.

Ji Xinmiao nodded: "Well, I have seen him pick up fruit trees, and I have also learned this job. But, brother, you have to remember, don't talk about it everywhere, otherwise everyone will let us pick up fruit trees, then It's troublesome."

Although Ji Kunping has Wang's uprightness, he is also a clever child. When he heard Ji Xinmiao's words, he immediately said clearly: "Sister, I know."

I asked Ji Qiulin to help reclaim the wasteland on the other side of the back mountain, and then went to the head of the village and spent two hundred dollars to buy the three-thirds of the land that was less than the barren side.This time the Ji family helped a lot, and the village head's family has a lot of fields, so the village head's decision in this land is equivalent to half giving away to the Ji family.

It's just that he asked puzzledly: "There are better wastelands than this, what do you want to do with this little land?"

Ji Qiulin smiled: "I don't know where those children got excited. They suddenly wanted to go to the mountains to move some wild fruit trees back, saying that they don't need to go to the mountains to look for them when they bear fruit."

The head of the village couldn't help laughing: "You two husbands and wives also love children, so you spend this unjust money to mess with your children. Well, I am in charge of this place, and I will bring the deed to help you transfer the ownership in a few days."

Ji Xinmin who came with him said fondly, "Uncle Tun Chang, we will treat you to some fruit."

"Okay, okay, eat fruit, hahaha, your family is the only one in the whole village who buys land and grows fruit trees."

Everyone in the village knew that Ji's family bought a piece of wasteland and said it was for the children to grow wild fruit trees. Some people envied it while others disdained it.

This day, Mr. Ji came to Ji Xinmiao's house, with an unhappy expression on his face: "Lin'er, I heard that you spent two hundred dollars to buy the wasteland in the back mountain for the children to plant fruit trees for them?"

Seeing his father's unhappy face, Ji Qiulin hurriedly asked: "Dad, have you heard someone say that this land is what Miao'er wants to buy. She said that she learned a method of planting fruit trees by grafting fruit branches in the south. Plant a few fruit trees for the family, so that the children can have snacks. If they grow much better, I can send some to her second aunt's shop to exchange for some oil, salt and silver. What's wrong? Someone said? "

Grandpa Ji heard that it was Ji Xinmiao who asked them to do it, so he told them: "There are rumors in the village that we are proud of the money we earned. If this is the case, don't listen so much and help Miaoer get those things. Well, I'll come to help tomorrow too. My old man believes what this kid said."

Ji Xinmiao also came after hearing this from the back room: "Grandpa, is it true that our Ji family has no shame in our hearts. If we hadn't produced this potion, we have been busy day and night for half a month, and the uncles in the village Insects, will they fall into the water and drown by themselves? I believe everyone understands how severe the insect infestation is this year. When the double grab is over, they will compare their own harvest with that of other villages. I think they will blush and say to themselves Such heartless words."

Grandpa Ji nodded again and again: "It's still Miao'er who can see clearly and think far. It's because grandpa is too old to listen to some gossip. Two days ago, your old aunt and grandma told me that in their village, except for her family, the one sent by your uncle Except for the potion, the rest of the people rely on catching bugs to get rid of them. But how can you catch the bugs in two or three days, and how can you catch them all? It is said that the rice harvest of many people will be reduced a lot.”

Therefore, no one in Ji's family listened to these heart-wrenching words. When the field was empty, the men of Ji's family helped to open up the three-point land, and found a lot of land according to Ji Xinmiao's request. The tree is planted.In the end, Ji Kunping and Ji Kunle went from house to house to ask for fruit tree branches. After waiting for a lot, Ji Xinmiao took a few small pieces and taught the fruit tree grafting.

Ji Liulan took the four hundred dollars that her uncle gave her and was very grateful. She was grateful that this kind of fruit tree had her power, so she asked people to unify with Sister Xinmei: "Sister, it's really good to connect it like this." can live?"

Ji Xinmiao looked at this honest little cousin and said with a smile: "You can pick up the job if you listen carefully. In the future, if you have time, you can go to the front and back of your house and plant a few trees. There will be fruits to eat in two to three years. If you choose a few more varieties, you can eat them in at least three seasons throughout the year."

Ji Liulan's eyes lit up: "Sister, can I grow a few trees, and when the fruits are ripe, bring them to the town to sell?"

Ji Xinmiao knew about the situation of the second uncle's family, and immediately encouraged her after hearing Ji Liulan's words: "Of course, you can study hard. In fact, now is not the best time to graft trees. It will be best in March next year. There are also many kinds of fruit trees to pick, and it is easy to live. As long as you learn it well and take good care of it, you will surely earn oil, salt and silver.”

Ji Liulan's face suddenly brightened, she felt that she had never been happier than today, so she respectfully thanked Ji Xinmiao.

The red bayberries are all ready to dry, and the second aunt Ji Lanlan sent a letter saying that the small bamboo shoots are sold, and the sales are not bad. People who have eaten them will come back to look for them. I just want to tell everyone that now the season is over and let them come back to buy next year.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang led Ji Xinmiao into the town, and Ji Xinmin insisted on following, so Ji Xinyan became a follower.

Wang scolded with a smile: "Don't you have a hundred dollars in your hand? If the two sisters don't come to the town to spend money, they will definitely not be able to sleep."

Ji Xinmin said with a bulging mouth, "Sister Yan and I miss our second aunt too."

Ji Xinmiao cast a contemptuous look at this cunning little girl: "It seems that you only want the second aunt and don't want the eldest aunt and the third aunt!"

Ji Xinmin made a face at her: "Elder sister is afraid that I and sister Yan will come to see your dowry!"

The little guy is pretty good at fighting back. Ji Xinmiao is too lazy to bicker with her since she entered the town for the first time. Her eyes are moving around. The town is not small. There are two streets in the shape of a well, because today is Lishi The day is very lively with people coming and going.

The mother and daughter took some vegetables and soybeans grown at home, walked through an alley and turned to a two-door shop on another street. A young man was busy at the counter, and the business seemed to be good.

As soon as they entered the store, the second aunt Ji Lanlan was entering the store from the back door. As soon as they saw them entering the door, they immediately said, "Second sister-in-law, you are here, and my husband is still asking, why haven't I seen you come?"

Ji Xinmiao, Ji Xinmin, and Ji Xinyan immediately called out to Second Aunt.

Wang replied with a smile: "There are too many people sitting in the ox carts today, so they walk a bit slower. Miaoer hasn't been in the town for many years on this road. It's strange to look here and there."

Ji Lanlan smiled and asked: "Miao'er, you came back from the provincial capital, do you still think the town is strange?"

Ji Xinmiao pretended to be embarrassed and replied: "Second aunt, I haven't been here for a long time, I have to see if there is any change in the town? Why is this my hometown, how can the provincial capital compare with this. "

Ji Lanlan smiled and nodded: "That's right, I'm from my hometown, people always seek their roots. Come on, let's go inside, first go and see what Second Aunt prepared for you, and then you can see how the quilt is. It's not that I like it, if I don't like it, there's still time to change it." Then he took Ji Xinmiao's hand and entered the backyard.

A group of people followed Ji Lanlan's shop into the yard. Ji Xinmiao looked at it. There was a shop in front and three square courtyards in the back, which merged with the shop in front, just like the courtyards in the north.

There is a pear tree and an orange tree in the middle of the yard, both bearing small fruits at this time.

Ji Lanlan saw her staring at the fruit trees and said with a smile: "Miao'er, you can eat them when you come back. These two fruit trees produce a lot of fruit a year. Especially the oranges are kept for a long time, and when it snows At that time, they will not fall off on the tree, and at the end of the year, you come to the second aunt's house, and I will pick a few for you."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xinmin said proudly, "Second Gu, there are many fruit trees planted behind my house. My eldest sister said that there will be fruits for three seasons a year in the future."

Ji Lanlan widened her eyes and asked, "Have you planted fruit trees in the back of your house? Where are there so many fruit seedlings here?"

Wang said with a smile: "It's not that these brothers and sisters tossed and tossed in the mountains every day and dug them back from the mountains. After two years, they have something to eat for their own families, saving the effort of going to the mountains to find them."

Ji Lanlan asked in puzzlement, "Then can it survive?"

Ji Xinmiao explained: "It can be planted and survived. I have seen people there planted seeds in Jiang's hometown before, and asked them how to dig them."

Ji Lanlan said with a smile: "Then when your uncle is free, he will dig some trees on the mountain and plant them. Anyway, the yard is spacious, so that the children will not go to other people's yards all the time."

The season was a bit late, so Ji Xinmiao had to apologize and said to Ji Lanlan: "Second Gu, there are not many trees that can be transplanted at this time, let's say next March, the fruit trees planted at that time will be the easiest to live, and save my uncle from wasting time. "

Ji Lanlan glanced at Ji Xinmiao thoughtfully before leading everyone in.
