Zhang Xilai, Zhang Dalei and Zhou Hongbing each walked into Changxing's new yard with a handful of saplings in their hands.
"I've brought you some fruit saplings. Other people's houses are covered with fruit trees in front and back, but your house has nothing. How can you eat it while others have fruit?" Zhang Xilai said with a smile.
"That's right. It's not easy for us to get these fruit saplings everywhere for you. This jujube tree was dug from under Xiao Laosi's old jujube tree. The jujubes from that old jujube tree are the most delicious. No one can grow jujubes.
Regarding the old jujube tree, I had to ask Xiao Laosi for these two seedlings with great difficulty," Zhang Dalei said.
Zhou Hongbing laughed and demolished Zhang Dalei: "That's because Chang Xing didn't ask. If Chang Xing asked Xiao Laosi for fruit saplings, Xiao Laosi could dig up the old jujube tree and carry it over. Do you believe it?"
This is true. Xiao Jinlin almost spent his whole life as a fool. It was Chang Xing who changed his life. Not to mention Xiao Laosi’s family, it is any family in Xianjiqiao. Whatever fruit tree Chang Xing wants to plant, whoever has it will be sure to do it.
He immediately sent Chang Xing over and planted it in the yard without letting Chang Xing do anything.
The reason why Changxing's yard is so empty is that the villagers don't know what Changxing's specialties are and don't dare to do anything random.
Zhou Hongbing showed off the fruit sapling in his hand and said proudly: "I am the rare seedling. I got the grapes from my grandpa and grandma's house. They are big bunches and they are ripe."
It's not sour at all, and it's much more delicious than the grapes we have here. We don't have any in Xianjiqiao. There's also this, a blood orange. When it's ripe, the petals on the stem will turn blood red, and it's so sweet that you've never seen it.
"
Zhou Hongbing took out these two kinds of fruit trees, and they were really the ones that the others had never seen before.
"Why does this grape vine still have thorns? It's really rare. Secretary Maolin is setting up a garden to grow tea. I think it's better to grow blood oranges and thorn grapes." Zhang Xilai said.
The eyes of several young people were bright. Such a rare thing was really cultivated in a large area. If you take it to the city, you can definitely exchange it for a lot of things. The young people in Xianji Bridge are more discerning than the young people in other villages.
Much stronger.
Chang Xing nodded: "Xi is right. Hong Bing, how many thorn grapes are grown in your Hakkagong family? There are also many blood oranges, are there many?"
"Not many, and not every household has one. This blood orange belongs to my husband. Every household has planted fruit trees. If they were planted, they wouldn't have such a big place on the roof." Zhou Hongbing said with a smile.
"Plant the saplings first. Even if we plant blood oranges and thorn grapes in the garden, there are not so many saplings. I didn't see Maolin bring back so many tea tree seeds. As a result, there are still a lot of empty spaces in the two mountains.
.We can only wait for these tea trees to grow, and then fill in the empty spaces." Chang Xing said.
"Chang Xing, I don't have any place to plant it at home, so I planted it here. In the future, you will produce grapes and blood oranges here, and you want me to eat them to my full capacity." Zhou Hongbing said.
"I know you have this in mind," Zhang Xilai said with a smile.
"Then you two don't come to eat in the future." Zhou Hongbing said with a smile.
"Why? What is our relationship with Chang Xing? We are just like brothers. If we don't come to help Chang Xing eat the fruit, how can Chang Xing eat it all by himself? How about we find a way to get some for our team?
If there are no seedlings, come here. Open up the land at the back and plant them all. We will plant whatever is rare." Zhang Dalei said, and his mouth watered.
"Dalei, before you speak next time, wipe your saliva clean. Just think about it, you can drool, and I am really convinced by you. But your idea is good. If you can dig a pool here, and then put it on top
Build a shelf, just enough to plant thorn grapes on both sides, and raise some fish in the pond. Then build an orchard behind the house. From now on, Changxing will become our flower and fruit mountain," Zhang Xilai said.
"You two should ask Chang Xing for his opinion first. He is the master." But Zhou Hongbing also looked forward to it, "Chang Xing, what do you think? If you agree, let's do it!"
Chang Xing smiled: "No problem, but put the saplings here and I will plant them. There are also things to pay attention to when planting fruit trees in front of and behind the house. You don't understand this."
"How can that be done? We don't have any efforts at all, so how can we eat ready-made things from you in the future?" Zhang Xilai scratched his head.
"Yes, we will do what you say," Zhou Hongbing said.
Zhang Dalei also said: "We don't have anything serious to do now anyway. I'm such a big guy, but when I go to work, I'm only given half a work point."
"You are fat and your strength is not as strong as mine, so giving you half a labor point is an advantage." Zhou Hongbing said disdainfully.
Chang Xing smiled and said: "Well, you guys go get some fruit saplings, and I will arrange them here. You can't help with these things."
"How many seedlings do you want?" Zhang Xilai said.
"Get it back first. Isn't there still a patch of miscellaneous trees in the back mountain? The worst thing is, clear this patch of miscellaneous trees and plant them all. The key is that you can't get so many saplings back." Chang Xing
smiled.
Zhou Hongbing said with a smile: "That's not necessarily the case. My mother has many sisters, and she has married in so many places. If you find several rare fruit trees in one place, there will be a lot of them. I have been going to get fruit tree seedlings these days. I have to bring them back.
The forest behind is full of trees."
Zhang Xilai also smiled and said: "I don't have many aunts, but I have quite a few aunts. I'll go get some fruit trees as a family. Let's see how much space you have to plant them."
Chang Xing looked back at the patch of miscellaneous trees behind the house and thought, can you guys still plant this forest full of trees?
Chang Xing still has never seen the world. There are so many types of fruit trees in the world. There are at least dozens or hundreds of wild fruits in the mountains around Fengmeizhai. Of course, Zhang Xilai and others are kind enough and will not take the fruits from the mountains.
Wild fruit trees come
To put it bluntly, only fools would plant wild fruits in the mountains in front of their homes. When the fruits in the mountains are ripe in the future, they can just pick them ready-made. Things like cone chestnuts and chestnuts are plentiful in the mountains, so why bother planting them in front of your home?
Plant it.
But even so, there are all kinds of fruit trees in these ten miles and eight towns, and there are many types. Peach, plum, pear, grapefruit, citrus, kumquat, bayberry, loquat, golden jujube, black tiger, August melon...
I can't even count them in one breath.
Chang Xing actually made a pond next to the house, and also arranged it around it. He was particular about what trees were planted and where. With Chang Xing's arrangement, when these fruit trees grow up in the future, the feng shui of the house will immediately become completely different.
Same. What was just an ordinary house site suitable for building a house before will suddenly become an almost perfect Feng Shui bureau. The Zhou Maolin family next door will also benefit a lot.
But when Zhang Xilai, Zhang Dalei, and Zhou Hongbing rushed back from outside one after another, carrying a load of fruit tree seedlings with a dustpan, Chang Xing was still stunned.
Although there were many overlaps in the fruit tree seedlings brought back by these three people, Chang Xing was surprised by the number of fruit tree seedlings.
"Chang Xing, you really should go out and take a look. We are not out of the flood yet. If we go further afield, we can get even rarer fruit saplings back." Zhou Hongbing said regretfully.
"Yes. The people at the agricultural machinery station said that day that there is a special gardening center in Qingshui, and they have a lot of seedlings there. But their seedlings must cost money. We don't have money to buy fruit tree seedlings," Zhang Dalei said.
When planting tea trees, the Agricultural Machinery Station specially sent technicians to Xianjiqiao for guidance, mainly to tell the people of Xianjiqiao how wide the spacing between plants and rows is needed for tea trees to facilitate future management. When chatting, Zhang Dalei kept talking about this.
I was following behind to watch the excitement and heard this sentence.
"That's almost it. With so many saplings, do you really want me to cut down the forest behind and turn it into a flower and fruit mountain?" Chang Xing felt helpless.
"Chang Xing, you must keep your word. We have brought the saplings back to you, but you can't use them as firewood, right?" Zhang Dalei said with a bad smile.
"Okay, I'll talk to Uncle Maolin first," Chang Xing said.
"Don't worry, as long as you ask, even if you want to demolish Maolin's house, he will agree. But his mother-in-law will tear his bones apart." Zhang Xilai said with a smile.
Several people showed narrow smiles.
Zhou Maolin really agreed immediately: "I have wanted to cut down that patch of forest for a long time. You can cut it down as you like. It would be dangerous to demolish my house, but you have to tell your aunt. As long as you agree to help
If I build a house similar to yours, your aunt will definitely agree to it."
"Just cut down the forest, no need to demolish the house." Chang Xing said.
"No need. Why don't you think again and demolish my house and let some of it pass by? Your Huaguo Mountain can be bigger." Zhou Maolin felt a little regretful.
"Uncle Maolin, the feng shui here will be very good in the future. Do you really want to change places?" Chang Xing said with a smile.
"Forget it then. You've turned into a mountain of flowers and fruits. I'm so close. You can't let my family watch you eat it, right?" Zhou Maolin soon felt better.
"In the future, when the fruit is harvested, you can just pick it yourself if you want to eat it. On the day I came, I said that our brigade could build several large orchards in the future," Chang Xing said.
"This is a good thing. If you young people have ideas, the brigade will definitely support you to do it. There are many barren hills. If you like the one, just go and cultivate it. With the current situation, the educated youth will still have to come over and cultivate it in the future.
The top of our Xianji Bridge has been completely occupied, so it will be difficult to come back." Zhou Maolin said worriedly.
"Will they come again?" Chang Xing was a little surprised. There were already so many educated young people coming to Xianji Bridge, but he didn't expect that there would be more.
"I will definitely come back. There is a nationwide food shortage, and these young people have no place to live in the city. It is better to let them come to the countryside. Even if they cannot grow much food, they can at least feed themselves." Zhou Maolin seemed to understand.
.
"Didn't they send all the second-rate people in the city to our hometown?" Chang Xing asked.
"There must be. The next batch of people coming to the countryside will definitely be different from the ones like Zhao Jianguo. Zhao Jianguo and the others are progressive in their thinking, and most of them came voluntarily. I'm afraid the ones who come later may not come voluntarily." Zhou Maolin said.
"No matter who comes, when they come to our Xianji Bridge, they have to behave honestly." Chang Xing said.
"That's the reason. Anyone who dares to cause trouble on our territory will never be given good fruits." Zhou Maolin nodded. When Chang Xing was about to leave, Zhou Maolin stopped Chang Xing again: "Such a big forest, it is difficult to
Can you guys help?"
"Forget it. Everyone is busy." Chang Xing said.
Zhou Maolin knew Chang Xing had a solution and nodded: "Take your time and don't make too much noise."
Chang Xing smiled: "I know."
In the past, no one would see you no matter how big your movements were on the mountain. But now at the bottom of the mountain, everything is under the eyes of others. If you move too much, you will definitely attract others' attention. If you are always happy and not stupid, you will naturally act more cautiously.
The seedlings that Zhang Xilai and three people had found were put by Chang Xing behind the house, buried with soil at their roots, and poured with a little spiritual water. They would not die no matter how long they were left.
The woods don't look very big, but they are actually quite large. Changxing naturally won't cut down all the trees at once. That would be too eye-catching. He would cut off a section first, then clean up the trees, plant them, and then clean them up.
The next one encroached on the forest bit by bit.
Although it is a miscellaneous forest, there are still many good materials. Even miscellaneous trees, some of which are many years old, can be used to make materials. Chang Xing collected all these woods and used them to practice his skills. The furniture and other things he made were
I gave it to the folks at Xianjiqiao. After all, this forest belongs to the public, so naturally I can’t occupy it by myself.
By the time the people from Xianji Bridge noticed this forest, Chang Xing had already cleared more than half of it, and the fruit trees were nearly planted. It seems that Chang Xing not only underestimated the number of fruit trees, but also underestimated the size of this forest.
The area didn't look very big, but after clearing away the miscellaneous trees, I realized that the area of the forest was indeed quite large. Now it has become Changxing's back garden.
"Chang Xing, you are amazing. You occupied a mountain without saying a word." Zhang Fangqing said with a smile.
"This is not mine alone, Xilai also has a share." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"It's true, you kid. Why don't you know how to ask everyone for help with such a big project? Are you afraid that if it fails in the future, everyone will come to eat your work? Then there is nothing you can do to stop it. If everyone doesn't contribute, they will have to eat it in the future.
.You have such a big orchard and it bears fruit. How can you come here to taste it by yourself?" Zhang Fangqing said with a smile.
"Everyone is busy, so I can't help but think of something. I'll do it bit by bit, and I won't be in a hurry anyway," Chang Xing said.
Zhang Fangqing said: "Chang Xing, it's different now than when you lived in the mountains before. When you arrive at Xianji Bridge, you are from Xianji Bridge. If you have anything to do, you have to help. If you need help, you should call everyone."
Those who help still have to shout. Do you understand?"
"I know Uncle Fang Qing. Actually, it doesn't take much effort to plant a few fruit trees. When they bear fruit, everyone can come and eat. Our orchard may need to be expanded in the future. We have already discussed it and will build a large orchard in the future.
.Maybe it has more future than the tea farm." Chang Xing said.
"That's good. Young people want to be aggressive. I support you in this matter. As for Uncle Maolin, I will tell him that he will definitely support you. In the future, no matter how you want to make trouble, all the young and old men in the village will do it."
Let’s make trouble with you!” Zhang Fangqing said calmly.
"Uncle Maolin agreed a long time ago. He said it would be fine to demolish his house." Chang Xing said with a smile.
"He must want to build a new house. If you demolish his house, he will rely on you to build him a new house. His house is right next to yours. If you compare it, his house will be as good as yours."
Just like his hut, it would be weird if he doesn’t want to demolish it." Zhang Fangqing said with a smile.
"In the future, all the houses in the brigade will be renovated. Only when the brigade is rich can it be easier to do things." Chang Xing said.
Zhang Fangqing nodded: "That's the truth."
Originally, the forest behind Changxing's house grew a large area of miscellaneous trees, mainly because the soil layer here was thin and the land was not fertile. The trees with good timber were not as resistant to barrenness as these miscellaneous trees. That's why there was such a large area.
The people of Xianjiqiao don't bother to care about the miscellaneous trees here. They don't even consider this forest for burning charcoal. The main reason is that there are too few trees in this forest. If they are cut down, not many can be used to burn charcoal. Most of them
Not many people want to make firewood.
Most fruit trees are very picky tree species. Even if they can barely survive in barren areas, they will not grow well. If they do not grow well, it will be difficult to bear many fruits, and the quality of the fruits will be much worse. Therefore, fairy
Most people in Jiqiao are not optimistic about this orchard in Changxing. However, the fruit saplings in this orchard in Changxing are growing surprisingly well.
"We have been farmers all our lives, and we should not be alone. In this forest, our brigade did not want to open up wasteland. Even if we could not grow food, it would be good to plant some trees with good material. But in the end, the trees were not planted and they grew
They are all made of thatch." Xiao Laosi was filled with emotion as he looked at the lush fruit trees in Changxing.
"Yes, fruit trees are often grown in this forest." Zhou Yukun held a dry tobacco stick in his hand, and smoke kept coming out of his mouth and nose.
"If you ask me, Chang Xing can manage the tea farm by himself better than our brigade. Otherwise, let Chang Xing manage the tea farm of our brigade. Give him full work points," Zhang Qingyuan said.
"That's right. The tea tree seedlings are growing so well. It would be a pity if they were not properly managed. Changxing would definitely be better at managing them than we are. Of course, everyone will help with fertilizing and weeding. Changxing only needs to take care of things during normal times.
Just take care of it." Xiao Yinshun patted his thigh and immediately ran to Zhou Maolin's house.
"It was my idea on this football day, and he took the credit for it." Zhang Qingyuan looked at Xiao Yinshun's back and couldn't help but cursed.
"Qingyuan, hurry up and chase after us. We will prove to you that this idea was yours." Xiao Laosi said with a smile.
"I'm not a brigade cadre, why would I want to lick Zhou Maolin's ass?" Zhang Qingyuan said disdainfully.
"Then why are you talking so much nonsense? What Xiao Yinshun did this time is not a bad thing." Xiao Laosi said.
"If it was a bad thing, would I still let this player take the credit?" Zhang Qingyuan said.
