Chapter 114 Fruit Tree

Li Sanzhu went to pull fruit trees early in the morning, and Li Qiusui said he would go to the top of the mountain to have a look first.

She had made a mark for planting fruit trees two days ago. There are many medicinal herbs growing on the mountain. She is afraid that others will ruin the herbs she left behind. For example, wolfberry will be harvested in more than a month. There are also herbs at the foot of the mountain.

The cattail root above is very old, so you can dig it out and cook it, or just soak it in water and drink it.

Mrs. Liu left the kitchen to Hongying, and she couldn't sit still, so she and Li Qiusui walked out with baskets on their backs.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw Mrs. Ma sitting at the door picking vegetables. The yards of the two houses were next to each other. If there was any movement here, she would look this way.

Ms. Liu called, "Auntie."

Li Qiusui followed and shouted, "Grandma Ma."

Life in the village is like this. Regardless of whether they are of the same surname or not, if there is no deep hatred or hatred, everyone must say hello when they meet.

"...What are you doing here? I heard that all the work on your farm has been done, and there are so many people in your family, but you two still need to work?"

The old lady looked at people like she was chatting for a long time.

Mrs. Liu said: "You are always busy. When you are free, we ladies can talk."

As he spoke, his steps did not stop at all.

The two women reached the foot of the mountain, and many people went up the mountain carrying shovels and the like.

Mrs. Liu, "They are all from the village. It must be your father and uncle who asked for help. Come on, let's go up and take a look."

On the mountain, Madam Zhang led Li Xiuer and told her not to run around. When she saw Madam Liu, she said, "It's time for you two to come up."

Li Qiusui called, "Auntie, Sister Xiu'er."

Mrs. Liu said, "Sister-in-law, why are you here... After working all over the place, I just need to rest at home for two days."

"Mom wanted to come over, but the boss and I stopped her. Dad also said that the road on the mountain is difficult, so that's all... He asked me to come over quickly and see if I can help..."

Madam Liu and Madam Zhang stood there talking.

Li Qiusui went to talk about making the marks, "Master, uncle, plant fruit trees in the marked places, and leave other places untouched." Afraid that they would not pay attention, he pointed to the patches of cowgrass and said: "...those are herbal medicines.

, it’s not the harvest season right now, and there’s still that piece of plantain, which can be used as medicine if concocted.”

Everyone in the family knew that she was studying medicine, so if they said it was herbal medicine, they would keep it.

Li Xiuer listened impatiently to her mother and Mrs. Liu's chatter, and felt a little worried about her third uncle's little cousin.

In the past few days since Li Qiusui's visit, Li Xiu'er has been avoiding people. The main reason is that she was asked how many words she knew when she disagreed. And embroidery... Her mother seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, so she would urge her to learn it when she was free.

.

God knows, she would rather go to the fields to work as a coolie than suffer the consequences.

Seeing Li Qiusui gesticulating, he felt angry and sneered: "After two years in Fucheng, I really think I know everything! Those grasses can be seen everywhere... When they are young, you can even get some to feed the rabbits.

Feed the pigs, it’s already May, feed the pigs, the pigs even find it hard to chew!”

In Li Qiusui's peripheral vision, Li Xiuer had been standing there for a long time, and now he had no time to talk to her, "What are you doing here? If you keep talking, believe it or not, I will tell my eldest aunt!"

Li Xiu'er curled her lips and muttered, "Complainer".

If you complain, just complain, as long as you can keep your mouth shut.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Sanzhu pulled back some fruit trees and was already driving the mule cart up the mountain.

Because they were given five cents to plant a fruit tree, there was no need for anyone to urge them. Li Dazhu and the old man helped write down who planted which fruit tree, and gave the coppers to them tonight. Maybe more people would come tomorrow.

.

In the past, the hilltop did not belong to the family. If it was left uncultivated, it would become barren. But now it has become the family's. If I don't realize it for a day, something will be on my mind.

Li Guangmao hasn't had a good sleep in the past two days. He has two hundred taels of silver. He should have told him earlier that he would stop him no matter what. Now it's too late to say this. He should make arrangements early and plant the fruit trees, and he will feel at ease. .

Li Qiusui turned around in a circle.

The fruit trees chosen by Li Sanzhu were all more than three years old, with a lot of fruit hanging on them. The soil balls at the roots were very large and tied tightly with straw ropes. A mule cart only had the size of three trees.

The fruit trees have been selected, and the tree seller hired someone to dig the trees. Zhao Da will take the people there on the next trip, while Li Sanzhu stays at home.

Mrs. Liu said she wanted to stay and have a look, but when Li Qiusui saw that her parents were there, she strolled home alone.

Li Xiu'er saw Li Qiu Sui leaving and hurriedly chased after him, "Su Sui!"

Li Qiusui did not stop to wait for anyone. Hongying was making rice dumplings at home and she wanted to go back to watch.

Li Xiuer quickly caught up, "Suisui, just wait for me..."

Didn't you catch up without waiting for you?

Li Xiuer took a deep breath and asked, "Li Zhenzhen and Shen Yao from the Orion family... have decided to get married. Do you know about this?"

What does these two people have to do with her? Every time Li Zhenzhen sees her, she always takes a detour.

Furthermore, I am so busy with my own family affairs that I have no time to care about others.

"Sister Xiuxiu, last time you said where did you memorize the "Three Character Classic"? Oh... It seems to be that if a jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. If a person does not learn, he will not know the meaning. You are not good at speed. My sister can memorize three hundred thousand. That’s it, I recited two poems about busy farming yesterday, otherwise, why don’t you come with me to your house and the three of us ask for advice?”

Disgusting! Lee Soo Ah stamped her foot.

I can't say more than two sentences, either "Three Character Classic", or three hundred thousand poems, or some poems about busy farming. I'm so busy with the farm work that I don't have time to write those.

The people in the third uncle's family are all idle, or they have money to burn.

It’s not just about the money! Don’t look at the people who are helping with the work on the mountain. Each one is working harder than the other, and they are all muttering this in their hearts!

I have left my farm work behind, so I have to come here to earn money. A tree costs five cents, and a man can plant four or five trees in one day. For more than twenty cents, you can go to the county seat. , you can’t earn it either!

As for whether the fruit trees are bearing fruit and whether they can bear fruit in autumn, that is all the matter of Li Sanzhu's family. They planted it according to their instructions. They agreed that the money for that day would be settled on the same day. It was a repudiation and it was for the villagers. It will take a day's work.

Li Qiu Sui didn't know what others were thinking. She scared Li Xiu'er away and met Ma Wanzi head on.

"Sui Sui, your family really gives five cents for a fruit tree?"

Is this kind of thing deceptive?

Li Qiusui said, "Uncle Ma is also going to plant fruit trees! Hurry up, there are many people on the mountain. My father and the others can only bring over a dozen trees in one trip. If they arrive late, they will have to wait for the next trip."

Ma Wouzi likes to be naughty at work. Li Dazhu didn't go to his house to find anyone at all. Mrs. Ma was at the door of her house and saw Li Sanzhu pulling a fruit tree over. The younger son is here.
