After dinner, Li Qingyun took Tan Wei to the pasture to ride horses. Jiang Hua drove the tractor and pulled the trailer out of the village for a circle, and brought back hundreds of trees. These were specially cultivated in the space. The trunks are more than ten meters thick. High, with no branches growing below ten meters. When I pulled these trees outside my house, I saw the open space where I was going to plant an orchard. I slapped my head, and I felt really stupid.
In the real world, the best season for transplanting fruit trees is winter. This is because metabolism slows down after the leaves fall in winter. If transplanted in summer and autumn, the fruit trees will have been dried out and died before the trees have adapted to growth. However, cultivating them in space allows the roots to grow. Shrunk into a ball, there will be no root damage, and some horizontal branches will be blocked, so that people can stand up under the fruit tree. Unlike ordinary fruit trees, the crown is very low, and it is not useless to maintain.
Just do it. Nowadays, there are all kinds of fruit trees in the space, from tropical to temperate zones to cold zones. Now you have to choose some that are suitable for your home climate, such as apples, pears, cherries, persimmons, plums, apricots, peaches, etc. These types There are also many varieties of fruit trees, but after calculation, I feel that I don’t have enough land. These more than 100 acres are really not enough.
It is very convenient to cultivate fruit trees. With the blessing of life magic, it is not a matter of minutes. Now it is time to solve the land problem. When coming to his parents, Jiang Hua has to inquire about the news in the village to see if there is any spare land. Jiang Wenxuan also scratched his head when he explained his plan: "There was originally little land in the village, and now there is no free land. If the land you rented had not been hard to deal with because of the rocks, it would have been reclaimed long ago."
Jiang Hua thought for a moment: "Can I rent land from other villagers?"
Jiang Wenxuan was not able to answer for a while, but Li Liqin disagreed: "I still don't want it, there are too many involved. Although our village is harmonious, we can't use profit as a test. If you don't make money, it's okay. If you make money, the land you rent will be yours." You may not say it, but you will definitely feel uncomfortable in your heart. If you have bad thoughts, they will definitely cause trouble for you."
Jiang Hua understood a little bit: "That's it, what should we do?"
Jiang Wenxuan didn't know what to do: "Let's plant these 100 acres of land first."
It’s already afternoon today, and I’m sure I’ll be busy planting fruit trees, but I can still finish planting the hundreds of trees I brought here today. Jiang Wenxuan suggested going to the village to find a few people for help. Jiang Hua was embarrassed to ask the villagers for help all day long: “Let’s ask for help all day long. It’s not good for others to come and help.”
Jiang Wenxuan has lived here for half his life and knows the situation in the village very well: "It's different this time. Don't you want to plant fruit trees? Come here to help today. By the way, let's talk about hiring tomorrow. But are you sure that if you plant fruit trees now, the survival rate is not a problem?" ?”
"Don't worry, these fruit trees are specially cultivated. They are three years old. There are no damaged roots and not many branches and leaves. It's no problem." There is no professional planting of fruit trees in the village, but they have seen it before. Jiang Hua explained.
Jiang Wenxuan went to the village to find someone. Jiang Hua went home to prepare the digging machinery. Tan Wei volunteered to operate it. Jiang Hua asked Li Qingyun to take care of it. He drove a pickup truck and dragged the carriage into the pasture, and then started planning. The pasture was a long strip running east-west. shape, we are going to build a rectangular forest with five rows and more than one hundred columns in the center of the pasture.
After pointing out the location, Tan Wei took Li Qingyun to play. She was used to driving luxury cars and was also very interested in driving the tractor. From time to time, she chased away the huskies and rabbits submerged in the grass. It's easy to tease two little puppies. After all, rabbits are small ferocious beasts, and even the little puppies can't catch up.
The four naughty ghosts chased each other around the tractor. Finally, in desperation, Li Qingyun picked up the two huskies and pushed the rabbit and the big dog aside so that the tractor could start. Ten minutes later, Jiang Wenxuan took a dozen uncles He came over with a shovel, said hello and started working. Jiang Hua drove the car slowly along the side, and there were two people in the back of the car throwing down the trees evenly.
Jiang Hua saw Tan Wei clumsily moving the truck and gave him a suggestion: "You can plant them in rows. The tractor won't have to turn around frequently and it will be faster."
Tan Wei slapped her face: "I'm so stupid, but you still have a plan."
Jiang Hua rolled his eyes: "As long as you know you are stupid, work hard. I value you and try to use your brain. It's not a problem if you leave it alone. What a pity."
This sentence brought a resentful look: "Haha"
Jiang Hua opened the car door and asked Li Qingyun to put the two huskies into the back seat, and then continued to move forward. He emptied the car in one round and forth. Jiang Hua carried the shovel and followed the others to plant trees. Jiang Hua was the younger generation here, bearing the burden of his uncle and uncle. their ridicule
After Jiang Hua couldn't resist, he quickly changed the subject: "Tomorrow, the orchard is going to start work and plant trees. Come over then. If you haven't prepared in advance, how about two hundred yuan per person for one day without eating?"
"Xiaohua is so polite. Why do you charge me for doing a favor? You look down on us uncles." The person who spoke was Lin Qianran. He has two brothers. The second brother works outside all the year round. The eldest son works at home. Occasionally, he goes out to play during the free time. day laborer
Jiang Hua finished filling in a tree hole: "Uncle Ran, I often have work here, so I can't ask you to come over and help. I won't be polite if you help me with family matters. I also want to make money planting fruit trees, so you can't do it in vain."
"Isn't that a bit much? If you use a machine to dig a hole, the progress should be very fast. It may not take more than a day tomorrow. Generally, it only takes 150 to work in the city and only 100 in the town." Another villager also said Said something
Jiang Hua smiled: "If there are too many, I'll invite everyone to smoke."
After chatting for a while, the matter was settled. The main part of planting trees was digging holes. With machines doing the work, the progress was very fast. A dozen people ended the battle in less than two hours. Jiang Hua went home and brought a water pump. The water inlet was put into the artificial pond. Tan Wei grabbed the water gun and started playing with it. Jiang Hua moved the water pump from time to time by the pond.
When the two huskies saw something fun, they were not in a hurry to chase the bully rabbit, and rushed into the water curtain to have fun. The two rabbit cats squatted aside and did not go in, just watching the two fools in the wet grass. Come on, they don’t like to play in water. It’s very uncomfortable when their long hair gets wet. Why are these two little guys playing so happily?
After finishing their work in the pasture, several people returned home. Jiang Hua replaced the tractor with a lawnmower and began to clean up the grass in the orchard. He watched the grass being cut by the machine and then swept aside. Then the steering wheel was "unseen in the world". " Tan Wei snatched them over, and Jiang Hua was helpless and let them play by themselves. Jiang Hua returned home to prepare dinner.
Tan Wei did not go back on Saturday and stayed here. There was not much entertainment in the evening. After dinner, she went to the yard to chat. The flowers in the garden had not grown up yet, so she did not have the elegance of flower viewing. She leaned on the stone chair and looked up at the stars. As we chatted, we couldn’t see the starry sky in today’s cities due to light pollution and smog at night.
Li Qingyun teased the huskies: "Should we give them a name?"
Tan Wei chewed melon seeds: "Yes, what is it called?"
Jiang Hua said with a bad smile: "This is not easy, I must buy a husky, so there are exactly three, Xiao Hu, Xiao Shi and Xiao Qi, just right."
Li Qingyun rolled her eyes, Xiao De Xiao Mu, rabbit, big dog, and a husky, there is no one else. Tan Wei has not yet reacted: "Why do you want to buy one? If you still want it, I still have it at home. I’ll hug you again.”
At this time, Li Qingyun was also a little speechless: "You brought two female huskies, and we have to find a companion for them. Do you still want all lovers in the world to become brothers and sisters?"
Tan Wei finally reacted and burst into laughter, followed by a violent cough because she sucked the dregs of melon seeds into her trachea. Li Qingyun quickly stepped forward to check. It was not a problem. It would be fine after a while, she said. Spending the night laughing and joking
Finally, even the name of the little puppy that has not yet arrived has been decided, and the names of the three huskies have been decided: Haha, Shishi, and Qiqi
The little male dog that hadn't arrived only got the convoluted name "Shishi" because Haha and Qiqi had been occupied by the two women and given to the little puppies present.
Early the next morning, Jiang Hua drove his tractor out of the village. He wanted to prepare the fruit trees for today. When he returned to the village, two large buckets were dragged behind the tractor, and they were neatly stacked with two large buckets as thick as his arms. Fruit trees that are more than 1 meter tall have roots tightly bunched together and a small crown at the top. This is specially done to facilitate transportation and survival. There are tens or dozens of fruit trees of each type and variety.
After the three of them had breakfast, they began to divide the areas according to the plan. Jianghua planted areas according to the flowering time. To build a leisure orchard, it also had to ensure a certain degree of ornamental value. Today, Jianghua drove a tractor to dig holes, because the position marked by Jianghua on the paper put Tan Wei Dizzy
After digging for more than ten minutes, the villagers slowly came over, and then Li Qingyun took the drawings and began to direct the planting of trees. The 130 acres of Jianghua were not planted very densely, and the spacing was very large, because he had to communicate under the trees. Drainage channels, interplanting strawberries and the like, setting up camping tents, etc.
Time passed quickly when working. It only took most of a day to arrange the two or three thousand fruit trees. I gave my father a wad of fifty yuan bills and asked him to go over and settle today's expenses. The three women returned After resting at home, Jiang Hua went to the tool room and took out a machine from the space. It was similar to a ditch digging machine, but with an additional vibrating and compacting component.
He drove the machine to create a "field" in the orchard. The canal was two meters wide. As for the bridge in and out, Jiang Hua used transformation magic to make a stone bridge hole. It is now covered with floating soil to prevent anyone from discovering it. After all, this is a bit Exception, after a while it will be opened and it will not be too conspicuous. When the time comes, a few wooden pavilions will be erected around it, which will also be very good as a rest area. There are no fruit trees planted on both sides of the canal. It is a flat land. When the time comes, it will be surrounded by grape trellises. Get up and plant watermelon, melon and other crops in the open space.
Jianghua connected the water canal to the place where the village used to draw water. This mountain spring was no longer of much use. Everyone already used tap water. He took out a few stone components and intercepted the mountain spring into the canal. Although the flow of this mountain spring was not large, But when the canal is filled, it will be a little too much. At that time, you can adjust the flow rate to maintain the water volume in the canal.
Now if you want to fill it all at once, it will take more than a month. Because there is still a problem of infiltration, it is beyond our reach to irrigate at this moment. In the end, Jianghua used a manure tank to transport water for irrigation, which was busy until the evening.
After dinner, Tan Wei drove back because she had to go to work on Monday, but she had already made a reservation for the next weekend and would bring a husky "Shishi" with her.
After a busy day, I am not too tired. I slept all night to recuperate my energy and recharge myself for the new world tomorrow.
