Chapter 11 Orchard Outlook
"Dad, isn't there a piece of wasteland in the back mountain? Why don't we open the land and plant grapes?" Wu Li said to her father who was certifying that she was eating watermelons.
"I thought it would be as easy to sell every year as this year? Don't plant it hard and can't sell it at that time, and then it will be out of stock."
My father said, "Who planted the dozens of pear trees and peach trees in the backyard? It was not my mother and I who took care of them. I don't know what they look like now."
It turns out that Wu Li still has such a dark history.
"Didn't I help pruning this year? How could I say I'm not in charge?" Wu Li retorted embarrassedly when she heard her father's words, but once she said it, she knew she had just made soy sauce.
"Sister, since my dad doesn't want to, then we are both species. Anyway, the mountains are deserted. We will be two cents after selling them at that time." I thought that the grapes at home changed so much because of the spring water in my space, and became more delicious than other grapes.
I thought that when I planted it, I would water some space spring water, which would make the grapes taste as delicious, and I was afraid that they would not be able to sell at that time.
"Okay, after a few days, I will turn over the ground when it rains. By October, it will be cooler and you can plant it." After hearing Wu Fei agree and want to plant grapes with him, Wu Li quickly agreed.
"When the time comes, you need your brother-in-law to help you turn over the floor. Your brother-in-law will do the turning machine." Just now, Wu Li started to catch the strong man immediately, and caught one who would definitely not be able to escape.
"Whatever you do. But when the weather gets cooler in the afternoon, you guys will follow me to go to the backyard to weed. It rained a few days ago, and the grass in the orchard behind suddenly grew deeper."
My father said strangely: "Did you pick more cow dung this year? The grapes grow faster and the grass grows faster. But it's just right for feeding cows."
Wu Fei, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but sneeze twice, which made Wu Li look at him strangely.
By four o'clock, the weather finally got a little cooler. Several people set off together, and even Xiao Duoduo was trying to go with him.
After walking into the backyard, in just a few days, the weeds on the ground had grown more than a foot tall. The peaches on the trees were all white and red, and they were obviously ready to eat.
I reached out and picked the largest one from the tree, wiped it on the clothes without any dirty things. I took it down with one bite and it was crisp and refreshing, sweet. It was obviously much better than the peaches ripened with medicines on the market.
"Brother, the peaches are ripe too! They are all so big, so wash them for me." Wu Li saw Wu Fei and started eating directly, and immediately instructed Wu Fei to come.
"Wash a few more, your niece will also eat." Seeing Wu Fei standing there without moving, Wu Li immediately added another sentence and made Xiao Duoduo come out.
"Uncle, I want to eat peaches too." Xiao Duoduo, who was beside him, immediately followed his mother's words.
I picked more than a dozen of them with a grass-filled dustpan, ran to the patio to make a bucket of water, washed the peaches, and then ran to the vines to pick a few bunches of grapes, and washed them together. Finally, I washed the peaches and grapes with space water.
"Dad, brother-in-law, come here to eat peaches first, weed them before we get it done." Wu Fei greeted the two of them who were about to start.
"The peaches look good this year, well, delicious." Zhang Yibin, who took a bite of the peach, said.
"Well, the peaches are growing well this year. One tree can pick about 100 kilograms." Looking at the peach tree that is about three meters tall, my dad estimated it.
"A tree has 100 kilograms, and there are about 50 kilograms, that's 500 kilograms. Wow, it's so many this year!" Wu Li couldn't help but exclaim when she heard her father say that a tree could pick 100 kilograms.
"Dad, I only picked more than 2,000 kilograms last year, and the ones sold were very cheap. But today I asked when I went to sell grapes. Those peaches smaller than ours are sold at 4 yuan per kilogram. Those similar to ours cost seven or eight yuan per kilogram, but they must not be as delicious as ours."
"Brother, we will pick some peaches to sell when we sell grapes tomorrow."
"When will you sell so many? You can't sell them all if the peaches are ripe and rotten. Tomorrow, Xiaofei, go find your Uncle Wen'an. He is doing a wholesale business in the fruit market in the county. Take a little peach to see what price he charges." My father said to Wu Fei: "Last year's peaches were collected by your Uncle Wen'an."
"Okay, dad. Also, isn't the car in Shenzhen sold? I want to buy a car when I go up tomorrow. It's easier to have a car." Wu Fei remembered his experience of driving a tricycle today and discussed with Wu's father.
"Then are you optimistic about what kind of thing you plan to buy?"
"No, I plan to go up and take a look tomorrow. But I plan to buy a pickup truck that can carry people or pick up goods." Wu Fei said.
"It's OK. When you go with your brother-in-law, he often sports cars and knows more about cars than you know."
After thinking about it, Wu's father thought about it, he only had a big truck for his son-in-law. It was really inconvenient to use a car when he went out. He often had motorcycles, but he might as well have tricycles.
It took a few people more than two hours to clear the grass in the orchard.
When everyone went back, Wu Fei, who was dragging behind, used space water to water all the fruit trees.
After looking at a few vegetable fields, I could eat all the first cabbages to grow, and the watermelon also had small buds.
"The watermelon is about to bloom, but there are no insects in the space. How can the watermelon be powdered then?" Wu Fei was a little confused when he remembered that the watermelon seemed to have to be fertilized before it could bear fruit.
"You can't catch a few bees outside."
Wu Fei, who had made space when he wanted to do it, walked into his own vegetable garden and wanted to catch a few bees.
After catching it for a long time, I caught a few grasshoppers and a butterfly. I got one of the bees, but only one bee sting was left, making Wu Fei itchy and painful.
"I remember someone in the village next door used to raise bees. I wonder if there are any more? I went to buy two boxes in a few days, put one box in the orchard and one box in the space. I can still get honey after a while."
The bees have not even received the honey yet.
During dinner, Wu Fei received a call from the color TV and said that he had contacted four or five classmates who were free and would come to Wu Fei's house to play together in a few days.
Wu Fei told the color TV that he would go up to see the car tomorrow to see if anyone knew him.
"Don't you know, Kang Liu's family sells cars, and the magic car that I take in my house bought was from his family." The color TV said: "She will also go to your house to play in a few days. Now the old classmates look much more beautiful than before. Don't be scared by you kid."
"Okay, I'll come up tomorrow morning. After finishing the work, let's go and have a look."
After calling, I told my parents that my classmates would come to my house to play in a few days.
"Are you a male classmate or a male classmate? How many people?" Wu Ma asked when she heard that some classmates were coming to her house.
