"Husband, look at this fruit growing so fast. It's so big now. Why do I think we won't need it until September, and it will be almost there in early August." Cheng Xiaolin is not an idiot who doesn't understand anything.
Looking at the size of the fruits in the old orchard, Cheng Xiaolin felt that the nutrient solution her husband prepared was really cool!
It really lives up to its name, simple, direct and effective!
Cao Shujie also looked at the half-sized kiwi, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it will be summer vacation, so it's a good day."
"Don't you think of a way to publicize it? Otherwise, who will come then?" Cheng Xiaolin reminded her husband.
Cao Shujie nodded: "Wife, don't worry!"
Everything is under control.
"Let's go inside and have a look." Cao Shujie took Mengmeng's hand and pointed inside.
Cheng Xiaolin nodded, followed their father and daughter, and walked inside together.
The small green apples produced on the apple trees are already larger than quail eggs.
When Mengmeng saw these cute little fruits, she had a "bad mood" in her eyes. She wanted to pick one and play with it.
Cheng Xiaolin disagreed: "Mengmeng, you prodigal son, your father is still waiting for it to grow up and sell it for money. You are going to harm it now."
Mengmeng blinked her eyes and didn't understand.
"Dad, I want it!" She stretched out her hand and insisted on picking one before she gave up.
Without saying a word, Cao Shujie picked one that looked a little small and handed it to his daughter: "Here!"
"Husband, can you stop spoiling her like this?" Cheng Xiaolin said.
Cao Shujie said with a smile: "This fruit is bad. Sooner or later, I have to pick it off and throw it away. Let her play with it."
Hearing what her husband said, Cheng Xiaolin grimaced: "You know that's not what I meant. You are too obedient to her. This is not good."
"I understand!" Cao Shujie looked at his wife and lost his cynicism on his face. He said, "Don't worry, I definitely can't teach a prodigal son."
"Dad, what is a prodigal son?" Mengmeng was confused and asked her father, scratching her head.
By the way, I also glanced at my mother. Although she was young, she could feel that her mother was very unfriendly to her at the moment.
Cao Shujie held his daughter in his arms and continued walking forward. He saw Cao Zhenggang and the others building a pig pen when he saw it. From a distance, he raised his hand and said hello: "Grandpa Zhenggang, you are busy. Is everything going well?"
"It went very well, don't worry, I will definitely do this job for you." Cao Zhenggang said, patting his chest.
This is his guarantee of credibility and the core secret to his ability to gain a foothold and get along in the countryside!
Once you don't do your job well, there will be no shortage of gossips in the countryside, and the spread of negative information can be as fast as half of the Internet.
When Mengmeng saw that her father was ignoring her, she reached out angrily and pressed her father's face. The beard pricked her hand, which hurt her. She thought it was quite interesting, and stretched out her little hand to pull her father's beard.
.
"hiss!"
Cao Shujie suddenly felt the pain of pulling out his beard. He quickly raised his hand and held Mengmeng's mischievous little hand: "Mengmeng, you want a beating, right?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped his daughter on the butt. It wasn't very hard, and Mengmeng even giggled.
Cao Zhenggang, who was supervising the workers on the opposite side, asked: "Shujie, I see that the apples in your orchard are growing well. They bear fruit much earlier than the fruit trees in other places, and they are bigger. Why don't you put bags on them?"
"
Hearing Cao Zhenggang ask about this matter, Cao Shujie waved his hand: "Grandpa Zhenggang, the one who packs the bags looks better, but the light is not enough and the taste is not good. It is better for me to not pack the bags now."
"Then you are not allowed to spray pesticides. There are also insects and other things. It will have an impact on your apple production and sales." Cao Zhenggang didn't understand at all.
Cao Shujie smiled and did not discuss this issue further.
He just said: "I have my own way."
Cao Zhenggang knew as soon as he heard that this was someone else's secret and was unwilling to say more, so he stopped asking.
Cao Shujie and Cao Zheng had just started chatting. When Cheng Xiaolin saw this, she took Mengmeng from his arms and took her to see the fruit saplings.
In the mountains, after the last heavy rain, the fruit saplings seemed to be growing better than before, and the weeds in the ground were also growing vigorously.
Mengmeng refused to let her mother hold her. She was standing on the grass by herself, sticking her butt out and lowering her head on the fruit sapling, as if she was studying why it grew so well.
After a while, she suddenly shouted: "Mom, look!"
"Mengmeng, what's wrong?" Cheng Xiaolin was frightened, could there be something ghostly going on?
Mengmeng turned to look at her mother strangely, then turned to point at the fruit sapling and said, "Mom, look, there are insects, why don't they crawl?"
"Chongchong?" Cheng Xiaolin leaned over and said, "Let me take a look."
She knew that her husband did not use pesticides or insecticides, so she thought that the fruit saplings really attracted insects.
But if you take a closer look, you will see that it is not a bug at all, but a green leaf stalk. It is somehow hung on the fruit sapling. If you don't pay attention, it really looks like a green bug.
The next moment, Cheng Xiaolin reached out to pick up the leaf stalk and took it into her hand. She fiddled with it a few times. Mengmeng was shocked when she saw that her mother dared to pick up the insect: "Mom, you are so powerful!"
Seeing her daughter's cute eyes widening, her mouth wide open in surprise, and her clothes admiring her, Cheng Xiaolin felt a little proud: "Small, let me show you who is the best."
The couple walked in again, and Mengmeng was always startled when she saw something she didn't understand. From time to time, she would ask, "Mom, what is this?"
Every time at this time, Cheng Xiaolin always behaves like a mother who knows everything, which makes Mengmeng admire her even more.
On the other side, Cao Shujie and Cao Zhenggang chatted for about ten minutes. Seeing their mother and daughter walking away, Cao Shujie pointed at them and said to Cao Zhenggang: "Grandpa Zhenggang, I have to go over there to see the condition of the fruit saplings.
Let’s talk some other time.”
"Go quickly." Cao Zhenggang waved his hand to signal him to hurry over.
He also knew in his heart that Cao Shujie would definitely not want to chat with a bad old man like him for a long time.
Cao Shujie caught up with his wife and children and looked at them squatting on the ground. He didn't know what they were studying and was a little curious: "What are you doing?"
"Dad, look!" Mengmeng pointed to a small hole on the ground and said, "Are there any monsters in the hole?"
"..." Cao Shujie thought to himself that your imagination is really big!
Cheng Xiaolin wanted to laugh, so she asked Cao Shujie: "Husband, what are you talking about with Grandpa Zhenggang?"
"It's just chatting. I asked him when he can finish it. When it's all finished, I can raise less pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. Let's keep them for fun."
At this point, Cao Shujie pointed to the dense weeds on the ground and said, "Look at how fat these grasses grow. It would be a pity to throw them away."
Cheng Xiaolin looked down at the grass growing between the two rows of fruit trees. It looked really fertile. She nodded: "It's true."
