Chapter 258 Fruit Trees

Second update, please read the full text of pink.

**………******

"Dad, I've been asking about this." Even Shouxin temporarily stopped his work, "I haven't heard anyone ask for someone to build a restaurant yet."

"I don't have any trust here." Even the old man smoked two sips of dry tobacco. "Fourth, you can have some snacks for this... it's okay to stay away from home."

"Okay, dad, I remember it, I must help me inquire." Lian Shouxin said.

"Your elder brother can't do farm work. After studying books for those years, he can't read txt download in vain. Building a restaurant can support the family." The old man said again.

"When my elder brother gets the exam this year, if he gets well, maybe someone who invites a teacher will come to the door." Lian Shouxin said.

"Yes." Old Master Lian nodded, with a little smile on his lips. He loved to listen to Shuxin's words, and he was looking forward to that day.

After planting six vegetable beds, the family planted peppers in four ridges next to them.

The land around the vegetable garden was also used. A series of gua cucumbers were planted against the pigpen wall, and a series of gua cucumbers were planted against the western wall. Both the gua cucumbers and winter melons looked like crawling plants. The melons that grew bigger and weighed, and then they had to build a shelf with the support of the wall in the future so that the gua cucumbers and winter melons could grow better and produce more melons. As for the low walls on the east side, beans were planted. The bean seedlings had to build a shelf after they grew to a certain level, but this type of shelf did not need to be as strong as winter melons and gua cucumber racks.

After the vegetable garden in the old house was planted, the family began to prepare things to plant their newly opened vegetable fields. Lian Shouxin went there first and drove the calf cart. The family put potato teeth and other rapeseeds, as well as shovels, pickaxes, buckets and other tools on the cart. Lian Shouxin drove the cart, Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi sat in the cart and came to the entrance of the village.

Because there were not a few steps, Zhang, even Zhier and Goro refused to take the bus. They felt sorry for the calf, afraid that they would get tired of it.

The vegetable field opened is three times the area of ​​their vegetable garden in the old house. The family has already discussed what to plant. Lian Shouxin is still responsible for repairing the vegetable beds. Wulang, Lian Man'er, Zhang Shi, Lian Zhier and Xiaoqi follow behind, responsible for growing vegetables.

There are only three vegetable beds of beans and cucumbers, and Zhang feels that it is not enough for the whole family to eat. There are two vegetable beds here. There are six ridges of eggplant. Three ridges of peppers are added next to them. The chili is planted next to them.

When growing leeks, there is no need to trim the vegetable beds, or even plow out the ridges. You only dig out shallow trenches on the ground, then water them, and sprinkle the leek seeds in it. Then cultivate them with soil and become. Leeks are perennial vegetables. Plant this year, and when in autumn, shovel the leeks and leave the roots. The leeks will grow on their own in the spring of next year.

There is a large piece of leeks in the vegetable garden in Lian’s backyard, and new leeks are now emerging.

Zhang thought about the large piece of leeks in the back garden, and then planted the same large piece. Except for the leeks, the largest area is potatoes. Potatoes can last for a long time, and can be used as food. They are an indispensable variety in the vegetable garden of the farmhouse.

With a ox and a plowing rod, even keeping trust saves a lot of effort.

Next to the potatoes, Lian Man'er planned to grow cabbage.

"Can you grow cabbage now be able to do it?" Lian Shouxin wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was a little uncertain.

Generally, farmers do not grow cabbage in spring, but wait until the beans and cucumbers are tied up, that is, they will not grow cabbage in autumn. Because the growth period of cabbage is relatively short, it is more cold-resistant than other vegetable varieties. Moreover, after the cabbage is harvested, it is almost winter, which is convenient for storage for winter.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Lian Man'er said.

"I'm afraid that the vegetable heart will not grow well at that time." Lian Shouxin said. After all, he is an experienced farmer. Later, the facts proved that Lian Shouxin said that he was right. The cabbage planted at this time was the hottest season of the year. The cabbage contained high moisture content and insufficient fiber. The vegetable heart was really not solid, and it was not the kind of winter-storage cabbage they used to eat.

"Then let's eat cabbage." Lian Man'er said. She didn't know at this time that there was no habit of eating cabbage here in Sanshiliyingzi. "Anyway, it won't be wasted."

"Then let's plant it. Anyway, we have rapeseed and land." Zhang said.

"Okay, then plant it." Lian Shouxin bent down again and continued to trim the vegetable bed.

Cabbage should also be planted in vegetable beds. Unlike cucumbers and beans, there is no need to dig holes, just dig out two shallow ditches. The depth of this soil ditch is also particular, not too deep, but it should be deeper than the soil ditch where leeks are planted. You can sprinkle more cabbage seeds. After the cabbage seedlings grow, then remove the excess cabbage.

These cabbages are usually used by farmers to feed pigs or chickens and ducks. It is not that these cabbages are not delicious, but that they are used to eating only the kind of winter-storage cabbage they grow up.

Next to the cabbage bed, Lian Man'er planned to grow rapeseed. Lian Man'er asked Shi Wazi how to plant rapeseed, but the result was similar to cabbage. However, rapeseed should be eaten while it is tender and will not let it grow into an elder, so there is no need to prepare a vegetable bed as wide as planting cabbage.

After growing cabbage and rapeseed, they continued to grow spinach...

The vegetable garden in the old house, plus the newly opened vegetable fields, took the whole family to basically plant the vegetable fields. The newly opened vegetable garden still has some open spaces, and there are some edges and corners of the old house to use. Although the buds of Mao Ke were released, Zhang saw it, fearing that it would be difficult to produce seedlings after planting them, Lian Man'er learned how to cultivate dry tobacco seedlings by the old man, and dug a small vegetable bed to scatter the Mao Ke, as well as the newly collected melons and sweet girl's seeds. He also learned that the old man used straw curtains to keep warm and moisturizing on the vegetable bed.

A few days have passed after the seeds have been sown, and a vegetable bed of seedlings are densely packed in the vegetable bed. After waiting for a little more than a day or two, the seedlings can be dug out and planted in the vegetable field.

The family had just planted the vegetable garden. Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian drove a truck to deliver a truck of fruit saplings. Although they were saplings, they were not small in size. The youngest was one year old, and the largest was no more than two years. The roots of each sapling carried a lot of soil. Because they were dug out early, they were sent directly. The soil was still wet. Zhang Qingshan said that if they planted like this, the saplings would be the easiest to survive.

Lian Man'er checked the saplings one by one and asked Zhang Qingshan what kind of fruit trees they were. The fruit trees had not yet bear fruit, so she couldn't recognize what kind of fruit trees they were.

"Let your mother tell you!" Zhang Qingshan called Zhang over and said.

It’s nothing if Lian Man'er doesn’t know the fruit tree, but Zhang should have recognized it. After all, he grew up in the fruit tree forest since childhood.

Lian Man'er looked at Zhang with some distrust.

"What are you looking at? All these mothers know each other." Zhang said, and pointed the fruit saplings one by one to Lian Man'er. This one was duck pear, that one was hawthorn, the other one was plum, and the two short ones were peach trees... Lian Man'er counted it himself. There were thirty saplings and six varieties, in addition to the duck pear, hawthorn, plum and peach trees just now, there were three jujube trees and four apricot trees.

Seeing that Zhang knew the fruit trees clearly, Zhang Qingshan nodded with satisfaction.

"The saplings must be prepared one year in advance... I have touched you everywhere and picked a good tree. I will plant some saplings for you this year. Next year, what is our orchard in our house, I will let you have something." Zhang Qingshan said.

"Grandpa, you have to keep your word!" Lian Man'er said immediately.

"This kid, are you still afraid that your grandfather will coax you or something?" Zhang said angrily.

"That's it!" Zhang Qingshan smiled, and when he saw that even Shouxin was not in front of him, he lowered his voice, "I haven't said this. Several children made his tits so honest. Now Man'er is better. He is the same when he grows up. At home, I told your mother that children can't care as much as they look at prisoners. Wouldn't they all be stupid? Thanks to your separation, the three children are alive, and the couple are also energetic."

Zhang didn't say anything.

Seeing that Lian Shouxin was walking here, Zhang Qingshan stopped talking.

Zhang Qingshan is still an old-fashioned person in his heart. He believes in and follows old-fashioned rules. For example, if a daughter gets married, he is from the other man’s family, and he has no right to take care of his daughter’s affairs. The man’s family sets rules for her, and even if he knows that he feels sorry, he cannot interfere. Grandchildren, and granddaughters are even more from the Lian family. Lian family has the Lian family’s education method. He has something he disagrees with, but he cannot just put it in a jar, so that the Lian family can adopt the Zhang family’s method.

This is the duty of everyone who pays attention to in the old school.

Now Zhang's family has been separated, and there is also the incident of the murder and miscarriage before. Otherwise, he would not have said these words.

The matter of planting trees cannot be delayed. Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian took a sip of water and started working. Lian Shouxin found two helpers from the village, and on the selected plot, they dug tree pits and planted trees according to Zhang Qingshan's instructions.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingnian, Lian Shouxin and the two strong laborers he found, the tree pit was dug very quickly, and the water could be lifted from the river nearby. In less than two hours, thirty seedlings were planted.

Zhang Qingshan taught some things to pay attention to when taking care of saplings, so he left with Zhang Qingnian. This season, their family had too many things to be busy with in the orchard, the fields and vegetable gardens.

The next day, before the breakfast shop opened, Lao Huang came to have breakfast in a hurry.

"I don't want soup and vegetables anymore. I'll just give me ten buns and I'll eat them as I go." Old Huang looked like he was in a hurry.

Zhang picked up buns for Lao Huang in the kitchen, and even Shouxin asked Lao Huang outside, "What's the matter like this? You don't even care about drinking soup?"

"I came here to check today and I just sent a letter in the middle of the night. I didn't sleep well and ran to this place. I had to arrange it to give people a good impression or something. Otherwise, everyone would have to eat the first place." Lao Huang took the bun, and didn't care about the hotness, so he stuffed one into his mouth, put the rest in his arms, and walked out.

"Who is here, Uncle Huang?" Lian Man'er, who was helping in the shop, asked.

"The people from the Shen family in Fucheng." Old Huang lowered his voice.
