Chapter 186 Planting trees on Thanksgiving

Time flies, time flies... more than ten... days go by in the blink of an eye.

"Yue Shui'er, hurry up and stop dawdling." Yue Shanniang yelled into the courtyard after changing into a coarse cloth and carrying a shovel on her shoulder.

"It's coming, what's the rush?" Yue Shui'er walked over reluctantly, wearing a dark green jacket.

After the little girl's living conditions improved, she completely changed her appearance. The original dark and thin appearance became white and fair now, there was even a trace of fat on her cheeks, and her withered and yellow hair became black and bright.

If it wasn't for her excessive temper, she would look like a young lady on the outside.

Of course, because of her genes, she wasn't very handsome, but rather pretty.But people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and wearing tailor-made silk clothes, they look like Xiaojiabiyu.

However, when she saw the clothes on her body, Yue Shanniang raised her eyebrows and said, "You prodigal girl, I told you to plant trees, why are you still wearing silk clothes? What if it gets torn? You Brother managed to create a family business, and you ruined it..."

"Hmph." Yue Shui'er pursed Lao Gao, turned his face and pretended not to hear.

"You..." Angrily, Yue Shan was about to go up and grab her ears.

"Forget it, mother. I didn't expect her to work. It doesn't matter what clothes she wears." Yue Shan hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Besides, everyone is waiting for us outside. It would be a waste of time for her to change now."

"Just get used to her and see what happens when you get married in the future." Yue Shanniang said angrily, but didn't say any more.

Seeing this, Yue Shui'er jumped up and down to Yue Shan's side, grabbed his arm and said sweetly: "Brother is the best."

"Tell me I'm alright again today? Who said yesterday that I'm the worst and ignore me for the rest of my life?" Yue Shan jokingly said.

"Yesterday...Brother, are you really going to lock up Xiong Xiong?" Yue Shui'er seemed to have remembered something, and said in a depressed mood.

"Xiong Xiong has grown up. If you don't lock it up, what if it hurts someone? You saw it too. It almost crushed Bao Weining to death yesterday." Yue Shan comforted him.

"But keeping it in the cage will make it sad, and it hasn't eaten much until now." Yue Shui'er said tearfully.

"Don't worry, we'll build a big garden for it in a few days and put it in specially to raise it. Then it won't feel bored anymore." Yue Shan said.

"Really? Brother is the best, I'll tell Xiong Xiong later." Yue Shui'er laughed through tears.

"What are you two writing on? Why don't you hurry up?" Yue Shanniang's voice came from afar.

The brothers and sisters hurried to catch up.

Xiong Xiong is Yue Shui'er's panda. Although it looks simple and cute and has a gentle temperament, it is too naughty and likes to make trouble everywhere.He especially likes to play with 'Twolegs'.When she sees people, she jumps at them and makes all kinds of intimacy with them, and she can't pull them away.

It was okay when I was a child, but now it is already a giant when it is more than one year old, who can bear to jump on someone.Although he didn't hurt anyone, it's not once or twice that he rolled his eyes.

Bao Weining went to feed yesterday, it was very bad. Fortunately, the rescue was timely, otherwise the old Bao's family would be ruined.Yue Shan was very angry and decided to keep him in captivity to prevent any irreparable things from happening in the future.

Yue Shui'er was naturally very angry.Xiong Xiong was brought up by her alone, and the affection is as deep as it wants to be.He almost broke up with Yue Shan.

However, the child's temper comes and goes quickly, and if he is coaxed a little today, he will immediately forget the unhappiness yesterday.

When the two brothers and sisters came outside the gate, most of the servants of the Yue Mansion had arrived.Some were carrying buckets, some were carrying shovels, and others were driving ox carts with many saplings on them.

"Let's go, let's go." After the two brothers and sisters joined the main force, the leader Yue Laosi yelled, and everyone walked towards the foot of Longshou Mountain.

"Brother, why do we plant trees?" Yue Shui'er pestered him and asked.

"Today is Thanksgiving, thank my parents for their kindness in giving birth." Yue Shan said.

"I know, my husband said that we should honor our father and mother today. But what does this have to do with Zhishu?" Yue Shui'er said.

"Planting trees means praying for the health and longevity of our parents like trees, and wishing that our family will flourish like big trees," Yue Shan explained.

"Oh, I understand." Yue Shui'er acted as if he had suddenly realized.

Not only Yue Shui'er, but also the surrounding servants showed their original expressions.They had the same doubts as Yue Shui'er before, but now they finally understand.

Considering the identity of the children of Yueshan Immortals, they even wondered, does planting trees on this day really have any special meaning?
No matter, we will plant a few when we get home.Regardless of whether it is put aside, let's talk about planting first.

If Yue Shan heard their voices, he would be very happy. Planting trees on Thanksgiving was also a whim on his mind.

Last year, Li Shimin wrote a letter to establish Thanksgiving Day, and Li Yuan declared it a national holiday.This year is the second Thanksgiving, and Li Shimin specially gave all the officials a three-day holiday, so that everyone can go home to accompany and honor their parents.

But general festivals have fixed celebration items, such as eating Lantern Festival on Lantern Festival, sweeping tombs on Qingming Festival, eating rice dumplings on Dragon Boat Festival, worshiping Seventh Sister and eating Qiaoguo on Qiqiao Festival, enjoying the moon on Mid-Autumn Festival, and not eating mooncakes in Tang Dynasty ...

The newly born Thanksgiving does not have any fixed activities, and everyone does not know how to spend it.So Yue Shan thought of planting trees.

February [-]th is already spring, the season when everything reappears, and it is very suitable for tree planting.Combining Thanksgiving and Arbor Day is a match made in heaven.

And the implication of tree planting is also very good, which not only protects the environment, but also symbolizes the flourishing of the family.As for whether it will be successful or not, he still doesn't know, this year is just to test the effect.

If possible, next year he will call on the teachers and students in the academy to plant trees on this day.I believe it won't take long for this activity to be popularized all over the world.

Talking and laughing while walking, I arrived at the destination without knowing it.

This is a piece of wasteland at the foot of Longshou Mountain, but at this time it already belongs to Yueshan, and no one can say anything about him planting trees here.

The saplings selected by Yueshan are very particular. Half of the ginkgo trees and the rest are pines and cypresses.They are all tall and long-lived trees, and they will become magnificent in scale in the future.

This year's time is limited, and next year he will select some precious trees such as yew and golden nan, as well as trees with medicinal value such as privet, and plant them cross-planted.

A single tree species is not conducive to the establishment of an ecological circle, which he knows a little bit.

He also has a modest ambition to imitate Kong Lin to create a Yuelin.

Think of this as the cemetery of the Yue family, and he will be buried here when he dies...Well, considering that later generations have the habit of digging up their ancestors and displaying them in museums, he thinks it would be better to burn them to ashes and sprinkle them in the great rivers .Even if you don't bury the corpse, you can build a clothes tomb or something like that.

All descendants are also buried here, and it is estimated that after thousands of years, it will be able to create a scenic spot for the country.Tickets cost 50 yuan, and if you want to visit all of them, you need to buy a joint ticket, at least 100 yuan.

Of course, if you want to achieve this goal, it depends on how much you can achieve.Not to mention too much, there is still a need for a sub-sage personality, otherwise no one will take you seriously.Maybe one day the land will be snatched away by the nobles, the trees will be cut down, and the graves will be dug up...

The reason why Kong Lin is Kong Lin is because of the protection of successive dynasties, no one dares to lay hands on it even if there is turmoil.

The topic got far away, and dozens of trees were quickly planted together. Yue Shan looked at the surrounding environment and said to Bao Dalin:

"Dalin, later on, you will find someone to build a canal to get here, and then send someone to take care of these trees."
