Chapter 33 Planting Bamboo

"Madam, this is too sudden." Chen Anan's head is still a little dazed.

"Listen to me, Jingzhi's parents left a few years ago, and our husband and wife have no other children, so we took Jingzhi with us. You should be able to tell that Jingzhi and we like you very much. In addition, you are also here. We have no one to rely on, that's why we... If you don't want to, it doesn't matter, this place is not too far from your village, you can come and have a look often." When Zhou said this, his eyes kept staring at Chen An'an looked, seeing that Chen An'an seemed a little distracted and kept silent, she subconsciously felt in her heart that this matter probably wouldn't work out.

"Ma'am, I'm really happy that you can tell me like this." After a long time, Chen An'an recovered her voice: "But I'm good to Jingzhi, and it has nothing to do with other things. Even if you don't say anything, I still treat him the same way." That's it." Chen An'an thought for a while, faced the two of them, and expressed his thoughts.

"No, we definitely don't mean that." Shopkeeper Zhou said.

"An'an, you simply like this child, so why can't we simply like you?" Shopkeeper Zhou spoke out.

"This is the fate between you and Jingzhi, and it is also the fate between us and you." Shopkeeper Zhou said this very sincerely, and everyone present could hear it.

"Auntie, can you promise grandpa and grandma?" Jingzhi jumped off the small stool and rubbed against Chen Anan, his little head kept arching in her arms: "Jingzhi never talked about mother since he was a child. With my mother around, I should be like my aunt, cook me delicious food, wake me up in the morning, hug me to sleep at night, and won't let other people's children bully me." Jing Zhiyue said, the little nose Wrinkled, and cried loudly: "Jingzhi, don't be a child without a father and a mother, woo woo woo."

Jingzhi cried, and Ning Bao next to him also cried.He had no father since he was a child, and many people in the village said he was a wild child.

The children of the two came together in front of her and began to cry.

Chen An'an's eyes were red, and she hugged the two tightly.

"An'an, promise us, okay? From now on, this will be your natal home." Mrs. Zhou looked at the two with tears in her eyes, and her voice was also crying.

"Mother..." Looking at that kind face, Chen An'an finally couldn't help it, and cried out.

Mrs. Zhou was in a daze. After a while, she cried and hugged the mother and son into her arms, and the whole family hugged each other.

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the big and small ones, poured himself a glass of wine, and while covering the tears in the corners of his eyes, he muttered, "Hey, you women just cry easily."

By the time the whole family has had enough crying, the food will be cold.

Shopkeeper Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were sitting in the hall, Chen Anan and Ning Bao kowtowed to them, Chen Anan looked at them, and said heavily: "Father and mother are here, please be respected by your daughter."

"Hey, good, good." The tears in the corners of Zhou's eyes never stopped.

"Ning Bao meets grandpa and grandma." Ning Bao also followed Chen An'an's example and greeted the two of them.

"Great, grandma is so kind, Ning Bao is really my younger brother, auntie, Jing Zhi is so happy." Jing Zhi jumped into Chen An'an's arms from one side, holding Ning Bao persistently. laugh.

……

Because shopkeeper Zhou took in his daughter that day, every table in Fuji Restaurant gave a bottle of plum blossom wine.

"An'an, there are a lot of houses here, do you want to move here, so that Jingzhi and Ning Bao can be together every day." Zhou clapped An'an's hand and asked with concern.

"Mother." Throughout the whole day, Mrs. Zhou wanted to hold her hand from time to time. The hand was not white and tender, but rather rough. Chen Anan walked alone on this "road" for a long time, feeling the warmth. , and couldn't help but want to get closer, she called softly and explained: "Mother, I still have a lot of things to do in Xiping Village. I just bought the land a few days ago. I became your daughter, but I didn't The truth is to eat what you have and drink what you have.” Chen Anan thought to herself, naturally she still has to be independent.

"Well, then you should always be careful over there. When you have time, bring Ning Bao back to have a look. If you are too busy, send a message and I will help you." Zhou said with a smile: "Other Can’t help, but it’s okay to cook a meal and watch a child.”

Jingzhi was listening, and immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Grandma, then auntie is leaving this time, let's go?"

Zhou nodded his little head: "You want to play with Ning Bao all the time."

"No, there is also Xiao Hei. Auntie's family has a puppy who can catch rabbits." Jingzhi started talking about Xiao Hei, and then talked about the mountain to the west of Ning Bao's house. He was spitting, but The whole family gathered together and laughed.

"By the way, mother, there is one more thing I want to ask when I come to the county this time, that is, do you know where there is a place in this town that sells saplings?"

"You want to plant trees?" Mrs. Zhou was a little taken aback when she heard her plan.

"Yes." Chen Anan nodded: "I want to buy some fruit tree seedlings, and some bamboo by the way."

"Bamboo is not difficult. There is a bamboo grove in the Liu family in the east of the city, but it seems that the growth rate is not very good. Because there are not many bamboo shoots." Zhou tried hard to recall.

"It's okay." Chen An'an didn't mind. The improper growth of bamboo was mostly caused by the soil environment besides its own reasons.

"Well, I'll send someone to ask tomorrow. I'll ask your father to ask someone about the fruit tree." Zhou replied with a smile, her eyes bent down kindly.

"Thank you, mother." Chen An'an was sincerely grateful.

……

the next day,
As soon as Chen An'an had finished his breakfast, someone came from the Liu's house, and shopkeeper Zhou rushed over with Chen An'an.

The Liu family has a bamboo forest in the suburbs. After Chen Anan went there, she found out that the growth was really bad. She bent down to try the soil below, and frowned slightly. The depth of the bamboo planting is generally required to be 50cm to 100cm. And good air permeability, slightly acidic or neutral soil, ph value 4.5-7.0 is more suitable, the soil here is obviously not suitable.

"This girl, how much do you want?" The Liu family was anxious to get rid of it, wishing to sell the whole land.

"I want seedlings on two acres of land. When you raise seedlings, you must dig up the whole clump, and three to five plants make up a small clump." Chen Anan explained the matter briefly, and the Liu family immediately started digging the seedlings. Said that it would be delivered to Chen An'an's home.

"An'an, would two taels of silver be more expensive? These bamboos won't even produce bamboo shoots." On the way back, shopkeeper Zhou asked, worried that Chen An'an would be deceived.

Chen Anan comforted him and said: "Father, in terms of normal bamboo, this season is not suitable for planting bamboo, but the soil quality there is obviously not good, so the bamboo seedlings grow very small, let alone grow bamboo whips. So it’s a good way to go.”

"Well, you can figure it out. If you have any difficulties, just send a message." Shopkeeper Zhou sighed.

The speed at the Liu family was very fast, and it was about to be transported back in the afternoon. After thinking about it, Chen Anan decided to take Ning Bao back.

"An'an, you've only lived here for less than two days." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly packed some food and loaded it into Liu's ox cart, and after giving several instructions, she reluctantly stood beside her.

"Mother, I'll come back to see you when I finish working on these bamboos." Chen An'an leaned over and hugged Mrs. Zhou.

"Auntie, we'll be waiting for you." Jingzhi said while being held in the arms of shopkeeper Zhou, pouted.

"Jingzhi, next time Auntie comes, I have a surprise for you." Chen An'an glanced at the cloth on the back of the ox cart, and smiled sweetly.

……

Chen Anan went back to Xiping Village. After unloading the bamboo, he went to Lizheng and bought the waste land of more than ten acres for a tael of silver. Seeing Goudan rushing over, he cried and grabbed Chen An'an's hand and said, "Aunt An, go and see my mother."
