Chapter 124 Wen plays with the walnut tree

 After eating, there was nothing much to do in the afternoon. Fangyuan and Li Weiguo just walked around the village.

The two people came to the door of a house. Fangyuan said "Huh" and looked up at a tree in the yard.

"Weiguo, do you think this is a walnut tree?"

Li Weiguo quickly looked over and looked for almost half a minute before turning his head and saying to Yuan Yuan: "It looks like it, but I'm not sure."

After all, the trees haven't sprouted yet. It's really hard to tell what kind of tree it is with a bare tree.

Of course, if you see it often, you may know it, but this thing is not common! To be sure, Fangyuan has not seen it a few times.

At this moment, a little boy walked out of the yard, then timidly leaned against the door frame and looked at them.

I guess I heard someone outside, so I ran out to take a look. I didn't expect it to be two strangers.

Seeing the little boy, Fangyuan smiled, took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them over.

The little boy didn't answer, just looked at Fangyuan.

"Take it!" Fang Yuan put the candy in the little boy's hand.

Fangyuan was originally going to ask the little boy, but unexpectedly the little boy turned around and ran back into the house.

This made Fangyuan freeze on the spot, shook his head and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man followed the little boy out of the house.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he saw Fangyuan, because he knew Fangyuan. When he was loading fungus and mushrooms in the morning, the middle-aged man passed by.

"It's you! What are you..."

"Hello, uncle! I would like to ask, is this walnut tree in your yard?"

"Yes, it's a walnut tree, but it's not for eating." The middle-aged man nodded and said.

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "What's a walnut tree if it's not for eating?"

"Alas! This is a walnut tree without walnut kernels." The middle-aged man sighed and said.

While Fangyuan was talking to the middle-aged man, the little boy ran back into the house again and came out with a walnut in his hand.

Fangyuan's eyes lit up when he saw this walnut, and he felt that it looked so similar to the lion's head played by the later generations.

Just when he was about to come over and take a look, the little boy put the walnuts on the ground, then picked up a stone and threw it on it.

This made Fangyuan a little stunned, and then he took a look at the smashed walnut. There was really no kernel. Fangyuan was sure that this was a Wenwan walnut tree.

Fangyuan smiled bitterly and said to the little boy: "Why did you get smashed?"

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the little boy ran back into the house, and then ran out holding a walnut in one hand.

Because the walnuts were relatively large, the boy could only hold one in each hand, so the little boy handed two walnuts to Fangyuan.

Fangyuan quickly took it and looked over the walnut. He was now 100% sure that this was the best lion head among Wenwan walnuts.

In her previous life, Fangyuan watched an interview program about a family in the suburbs of the imperial capital. There was a wild Wenwan lion head walnut tree in the yard.

Since the rise of entertainment in the 1990s, this family has become the richest person in the village by selling walnuts.

Of course, this is just the beginning. In the early 1990s, when there were only a few households worth 10,000 yuan, their walnut trees were rented out and could be sold for 60,000 to 80,000 yuan a year.

What is this concept?

Later, Wenwan walnuts became more and more valuable, especially the lion heads, and their family's income also became higher and higher.

I don’t know how many people come to my door every day, just because they want a branch to graft.

But after knowing the value of this thing, how could this family give it to others?

When they couldn't get it, some people thought of stealing it. In order to prevent others from stealing it, this family raised more than a dozen large dogs.

Later, after surveillance was introduced, more than twenty surveillance probes were installed in the home, which can be said to provide all-round protection.

According to the program, there are only five wild lion-head walnut trees like this in the country, and their family is the largest one. You can imagine how much money their family makes.

Of course, this program didn’t say it, and it’s impossible for others to say it, but you can imagine that you definitely made a lot of money.

"Uncle, do you have seedlings of this kind of walnut tree?" Fangyuan asked the middle-aged man while handing two walnuts to the little boy.

The little boy shook his head and did not take the walnut, meaning it was given to Fangyuan.

Fangyuan didn't show any pretense and just put it in his pocket.

The middle-aged man said at this time: "You want saplings! I shoveled all the trees that grew last year. I don't know if there are any more."

"Yes." The little boy said at this time, and then ran into the yard.

The middle-aged man greeted Fangyuan and followed him in.

Fangyuan and Li Weiguo looked at each other and followed them into the courtyard. At this time, the little boy was standing on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Fangyuan walked over and saw a small sapling emerging from the ground at the top of the wall. The sapling was not big, probably not even a foot tall.

It is probably because of its small size that it was not shoveled out by the middle-aged people! Or it may have not grown out yet when the middle-aged people shoveled it out.

"Hey! There really is one." said the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, can you give me this sapling? You can also sell it to me."

"Hey! It's just a sapling, dig it up if you want."

"Thank you, uncle." Fangyuan thanked him quickly.

At this time, the little boy had already come over with a shovel. Li Weiguo quickly took it and dug out the sapling in a few strokes.

If they didn't sell it, Fangyuan wouldn't be in vain. Otherwise, he took out a handful of candies from his pocket, handed them to the little boy and said, "This is for you. I don't have anything else with me. How about this? You can go to the granary later."

I’ll get you something else.”

The little boy didn't take it, but looked up at the middle-aged man. When he saw the middle-aged man nodded, he took the candy from Fangyuan's hand.

Seeing how cute the little boy was, Fangyuan smiled, stretched out her hand and rubbed the little boy's head and said, "Let's do this! You take me to find the fruit tree."

Fangyuan saw that the little boy was cute and sensible, so she wanted to help him.

The little boy did not agree directly, but looked up at the middle-aged man and asked: "Dad, can I go?"

"Go! Don't run too far."

"Yeah!" The little boy nodded and ran back into the house.

And soon he came out of the house again and saw that the candy in the little boy's hand was gone. Fangyuan knew that he probably put it in the house.

"Let's go."

Originally, Fangyuan wanted to find some fruit trees to plant in the space, but now we just have this opportunity. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Li Weiguo carried the shovel from the little boy's house, and the three of them went out.

Not to mention, although the little boy is young, he knows all kinds of fruit trees. With the help of the little boy, Fangyuan soon found four or five kinds of fruit trees.

Among them are pear trees, persimmon trees, hawthorn trees, peach trees, etc., and we also got a chestnut tree. Of course, all the seedlings we need are everywhere.

He had no choice but to get a few large trees and plant them in the space so they could bloom and bear fruit, but this was simply impossible.

This is not to say that it cannot be done, but that there is no way to do it. It is so big and conspicuous, so this small sapling is better.

It is not conspicuous at all and can be tucked into the space at any time.

After turning the whole village around, they didn't encounter any other fruit trees. Finally, the little boy took Fangyuan and the others to the mountain and found another sapling of a cherry tree.

"Let's go back."

Fangyuan is very satisfied with these kinds of trees, but there is no other way, because many fruit trees are not suitable for the environment of the imperial capital, so there are none.

After returning to the village, Fangyuan did not let the little boy go home, but took him to the granary.

After arriving at the granary, Fangyuan found a cloth bag, put some things into the cloth bag and handed it to the little boy and said: "These things are for you, remember, don't let others see it, take it home directly."

"Thank you, little brother."

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the little boy and asked, "Why do you call me little brother?"

"You are not older than this brother." The little boy pointed at Li Weiguo and said.

"Okay!" Fangyuan said in frustration.

Age and height have always been Fangyuan's weaknesses, and there's nothing he can do about it. People always grow up little by little! I've never heard of anyone growing up overnight.

Fangyuan was still worried about this and asked Li Weiguo to send the little boy back.

In fact, Fangyuan didn't give the little boy anything, except some candies, which were two packs of peach cakes, and then ten yuan and a few non-staple food stamps.

It was useless to give him food stamps. The village did not allow people to light a fire for cooking because everyone was the same and ate from a big pot.

After Li Weiguo sent the little boy away, Fangyuan tied the saplings together and wrapped the roots with a piece of linen.

This is not a tree and will not attract other people's attention, so Fangyuan did not put it away and planned to take it back to talk about it later.

The little boy's home is not far from the granary. As soon as Fangyuan wrapped the saplings, Li Weiguo came back.

That night, Fangyuan and Li Weiguo lived in the granary. Of course, they were not the only ones, but also the old village chief's son.

He looks after the granary, so of course he has to live here.

There was nothing to say all night, and Fangyuan got up early the next morning. Having just arrived in a strange place, Fangyuan didn't sleep very well.

After Fangyuan got up, Li Weiguo also got up, but only the old village chief's son was still asleep.

Fangyuan didn't need to call him, so he just went to wash up. There was a well near the granary. He probably dug a well on purpose for fear of a fire in the granary.

Li Weiguo fetched a bucket of water from the bucket next to the well. This was a familiar task for Li Weiguo, because there are such wells in rural areas.

There was no cup, so Fangyuan could only ask Li Weiguo to pour it for him, take some water with his hand to rinse his mouth, and then take out the toothbrush from his schoolbag.

After washing up, Fangyuan found that the old village chief's son hadn't gotten up yet, and said to himself: "Why are you still sleeping! Don't you have breakfast?"

"Fang Yuan, they may really not eat breakfast." Li Weiguo said while wiping his face.

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and patted his head.
