Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 214 Hell! (3)
Whether it was true or not, Liu Qiao couldn't be sure, even if the Yi family was now recognized by the Lin family village, they were not qualified to pay homage to the Lin family's ancestral grave.

They didn't take her to Bailinhe today, because according to the rules, a married woman is not eligible to go to her natal family's grave, not even her own father. They can disobey the rules, but they can't directly fight against the rules. We had to wait a few days for the members of the Liu family to visit the graves before going. Generally speaking, on Qingming Day, everyone sweeps the graves of their ancestors, followed by their own family members' graves.

And early in the morning, Yun took them to melt ingots facing the south in the yard, and made them kowtow, but he still didn't say who kowtow to, and today, Yi Zhiyun's mood is not very good .

Liu Qiao didn't let him go back to the study, but took him out. Today's sky was still gloomy, but the rain still listened, as if the ancestors cared for the children and grandchildren who came to the grave, "Aqiao, it's Qingming Festival Don't walk around." Walking on the deserted road in the village, Yi Zhiyun said, "If you are bored, I will accompany you to the workshop, didn't you say you want to grow vegetables? I will accompany you..."

"Afraid?" Liu Qiao interrupted him.

Yi Zhiyun said: "Why would I be afraid? It's awe!"

"We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we be afraid of ghosts?" Liu Qiao laughed.

Yi Zhiyun knew that he couldn't say enough about her, "Okay, let's go shopping for a while." This girl is not usually afraid of being deserted.

Today's Linjia Village is indeed deserted, men all go to worship their ancestors' graves, but women, unmarried daughters, are not allowed to visit their ancestors' graves in Linjia Village, or even in the entire Yangzi County. The graves of their relatives are not so taboo, but The ancestral grave is not good, it does not matter whether you are married out or married in.

Naturally, Liu Qiao didn't drag Yi Zhiyun out to relieve boredom.

But when Yi Zhiyun looked at the direction she was going, he was even more puzzled, "Aqiao, where do you want me to go with you?"

"Go to the north of the village, where do you think we are going?" Liu Qiao said angrily, "Young Master, give some snacks to your things."

Yi Zhiyun said: "Go to that hill?"

"Yes." Liu Qiao replied, "Don't worry, there are no graves on that hill." If there were, the village would not sell them.

"What are you going to do?" Yi Zhiyun asked.

Liu Qiao smiled, "You'll know when you go."

This time, instead of watching from a distance, they climbed up the hillside and went east to the village. The vegetation on the hill was growing wildly, and it was much more difficult to walk than when they bought it last time.

"Be careful!" Yi Zhiyun held her with one hand, saw a stick pushing the weeds in front of him with the other, "What are you doing here? The grass is so lush, what if there are snakes?"

Liu Qiao didn't speak, just kept smiling.

The two walked cautiously to the highest point of the hill, where there were fewer weeds, because the fruit trees planted on the top of the hill were the densest and grew the best.

Liu Qiao looked up at the towering tree above his head, "Young Master, what kind of fruit tree do you think this is?"

At this time, the only tree on the top of the hill other than the weeds had changed into new clothes. In addition to the tender green leaves, the branches were also covered with pink and white flowers.

From a distance, it is truly beautiful.

Up close, it is also beautiful.

Yi Zhiyun looked up at the tree above his head, "It should be a green plum tree, but it seems that it is a little different from the ones I saw in the south when I was a child, and I can't say for sure, maybe I remembered it wrong, but I have eaten green plums before. Very sour, not tasty."

"Green plums grow in the south, and there are no green plums in the north." Liu Qiao said, "At least the one in front of me should not be a green plum tree."

"What's that?" Yi Zhiyun looked down at her.

"Apricot tree." Liu Qiao said.

Yi Zhiyun frowned, "Apricot tree? How do you know? Even Lizheng doesn't know what kind of tree it is."

Liuqiao's expression is a bit strange. It stands to reason that there are green plum trees in the south of this time and space, and there should be apricot trees in the north, and it should be an ordinary fruit tree, but no one here recognizes this tree. 5 to 7 meters, the crown is mostly sunny and happy, the branches are dense, the leaves are oval or broad oval, the edges of the leaves have thin and blunt serrations, the back of the leaves is slightly hairy or glabrous, white or reddish, in March Budding, flowering in early April, I was not sure after the leaves fell, but now I am more sure, it is indeed an apricot tree."

"I asked Lizheng before, and Lizheng said that this tree has been here for decades, and it will bloom and bear fruit every year. I also asked my grandfather, and he said that this tree was planted by a foreigner when he was young. This mountain wanted to plant fruit trees, but other fruit trees were not planted, and finally these were planted. Later, he left, and the fruit trees stayed. After the fruit trees bloomed and bear fruit, the children in the village would come to pick them as snacks, but later a The child almost died after eating it, and the people in the village thought that the fruit might be poisonous, so no one dared to pick it up and eat it again. Originally, they wanted to cut down the tree, but at that time, the foreigner paid money to rent the fruit. On the top of the mountain, the village was worried that cutting it down would cause trouble, so they didn't move it, but the children in the village didn't dare to pick it and eat it anymore. Gradually, everyone forgot how this tree came from, but the fruit of this tree can't be eaten As we all know, it will be decades after this, and the tree is still there. A few years ago, someone in the village suggested that it would be good to cut down the tree for firewood, but the old people thought that the tree would live long and it was unlucky to cut it down, so they kept it. So, we wanted to buy it before, and the village agreed for a while after discussing it." Yi Zhiyun said.

Liu Qiao smiled and said: "The fruit produced by the apricot tree is not poisonous fruit, but if you eat too much, people will feel uncomfortable. If the person's health is not good, maybe it will really kill people. Didn't the grandfather say that the fruit was born in the first place? Do all the children in the village like to pick it? There are so many children and only one child has an accident. How can we judge that the fruit is poisonous? Just like peaches, people will feel sick after eating them."

"You want the fruit from this tree?" Yi Zhiyun frowned.

"This apricot tree is a precious tree. The fruit can be eaten directly as fruit, and can also be made into preserved apricots, apricot jam, etc. The kernels in the fruit can also be used to squeeze oil and serve as snacks. Of course, bitter almonds are really not edible. In addition, it has medicinal value, which can relieve cough and moisten intestines. Even the tree itself is hard and can be used to make furniture! Apricot leaves can also be used as fodder!" Liu Qiao recalled some materials he had read in his previous life. They are all treasures, and it is not too much to say that it is a cash cow."

Yi Zhiyun was surprised, "How do you know so much?" Even the people in the Lin family village didn't know.

"My father told me." Liu Qiao said this lie without pressure.

Yi Zhiyun stared at her, as if he still had doubts, but he believed it after all, "Father-in-law is very powerful."

"Of course." Liu Qiao smiled, "Otherwise, how could such a smart daughter like me be born?"
