Chapter 168 Orchard Plan

Chapter 168 orchard plan

Li Yuanlin's character was more generous, plus today's new year pig, the village people were so supportive, he was very happy. He brought out his own brewed rice wine jar and poured wine for the old man one after another. Li Rong, who was half a year old, also drank from him.

The meal was finished in the midst of the bustle, and the narrow and noisy hall was filled with a rich aroma of wine and vegetables. Hot dishes and hot soup were imported, and everyone's faces were flushed with food.

After dinner, Li Haitang stood in the yard outside his house with the tea that Li Yongchun had brought her. The men were still drinking in the house. The smell of tobacco and alcohol was too strong. She needed to get out and breathe.

"Li Yongchun, this house of yours looks like it's been around for some years. There are signs of collapse at the back of the pigsty. It won't be long before it's rebuilt, right?" Some half-grown children were standing together. Li Haitang had gone to the front and back of the house before, so he was chatting with him now.

Li Yongchun still had a cigarette in his hand, which was given to him by an adult. He smoked in a decent manner. He took a puff of smoke before answering, "Yes, I discussed with my parents before. I planned to build a new house next year, but now I want my mother to go to your shop to do business, so I guess it will be the next year as soon as possible."

Speaking of building a new house, he drank a cup of rice wine and asked Li Rong, whose face was slightly reddened, "Haitang, I heard that you cleaned up the cottage on the east side, and now you have bought all the spare space around. With the wall built, what osmanthus tree do you want to plant?"

"Ahem, yeah. I was going to plant all the osmanthus trees at first, but Li Tao and the others laughed at me. After that, I decided to change it and plant some osmanthus trees and other fruit trees." After Li Haitang came back, he took the time to visit her. His second uncle helped her push down the house with great care. The original brick-house was also flattened, and the garden was very clean. He was waiting for the next year's fruit tree to be planted on the ground.

"Haha, actually, I think it's good to plant all the osmanthus trees. By august and september, the fragrance of osmanthus will be all over Lee ka tsuen, and the occasional smell of pig dung and cow dung on the road will all be covered up." Li Rong pulled his neck and laughed. His voice was several decibels louder than usual, perhaps because of the alcohol.

Li Yongchun threw up a circle of white fog and smiled, "Actually, I also support you to plant all the osmanthus trees. There was a osmanthus tree garden in the park we went to last time. Many people went to play in august, and some old ladies squatted on the ground to pick up the osmanthus flowers and said they would take them back to make osmanthus cakes."

"Yes, the osmanthus cake is delicious, but unfortunately we can't make it." Li Haitang had an idea when she heard him say that. It seemed that she would mention it to meifang's sister-in-law this afternoon.

"What fruit trees do you want to plant now?"

Li Haitang thought for a while and said, "We are very suitable for growing oranges, chestnuts, Yang Mei, dates, peaches, plums and so on. Since we have decided to plant them, we should plant more than ten of them. When it's ripe, let the villagers pick them themselves. If I come back, I can eat some of my own fruits."

"Hehe, you're doing this for the benefit of the village people." Li Yongchun chuckled.

Li Haitang smiled, "Sort of. I don't usually stay at home. When the time comes, I'll have to ask someone to take care of the garden. I can't just plant a fruit tree and leave it to its own devices."

"That's true. Although fruit trees don't need to be tended as often as rice and vegetables in the fields, they still need to be weeded and fertilized regularly to get rid of insects. Just go back to the village and find an older grandfather to help." Li Yongchun smiled.

"Yes. By the way, do you have any friends or acquaintances who have fruit tree seedlings? Can you get me some?" Their fruit trees in Lee ka tsuen are very average, and there are not many of them with good quality.

Li Rong thought for a moment and said to her, "The plum tree on my grandmother's side is fine. It's black plum, but it's not very big. It tastes good. My grandfather would pick some Yang Mei wine every year, which was completely different from brother yongjian's poplars and plum trees."

Li Haitang searched the memory of the original owner in his mind and remembered the flourishing plum tree of li yongjian's family. He chuckled, "Brother yongjian's plum tree is a green Yang Mei, but it produces a lot of plums every year. In the summer, his family is never quiet. The children in the village revolve around that tree every day. I used to pick it when I was a child. I just ate it with a little sugar. Now I'm impressed that I can eat it." The green Yang Mei was so sore that their teeth ached and their faces twisted from eating one, but they found it especially delicious.

"That tree has been around for years. I heard from brother wen jian that it is older than him. That green Yang Mei really can't eat it, only when it is completely mature and becomes slightly red can it be eaten. We liked to pick them back then, but we didn't eat them at all. We just picked them for fun." When he was a naughty boy, li rong went to play under the yangmei tree every day in the summer to cool down.

"Brother Rongzi, can you help me get a few plum trees from your grandmother's house in the spring?" Li Haitang could not find a better yang mei tree at the moment, and black plum was not bad, so he planted it for the time being.

Li Rong agreed, "Sure, I'll have my cousin dig some for you. Oh, and they have a lot of chestnuts and loquats over there. You can get some for you if you want."

Sure, I forgot that your grandmother has a loquat tree over there. When aunt er zhu went back to her mother's house, she used to carry a bag for us to eat. The loquat is small and has a big nucleus, but it tastes good when it's ripe." Li Haitang also remembered what happened when he was a child. Now, there is a loquat tree in the backyard of li rong's house, which can produce a lot of loquats every year.

Li rong nodded and agreed.

Li Haitang, let me help you get the orange and plum trees. I have a junior high school classmate at home. The peach tree is just a few plants dug up on the mountain behind my uncle's house. They all bear hairy peaches, but they are quite big and eat very crispy. For the time being, we can't find the kind of peaches that the city people buy. We should plant the orchard first, and then buy them for exchange when we meet the right ones." Li Yongchun also helped her solve several fruit trees.

"Okay, thank you." These two people were quite enthusiastic, so she generously accepted their help.

Li Jianguo and Liu Fen also came out at this time. Seeing that his face was flushed and he had drunk a lot, he wiped his head, "Haitang, time is running out. You still have to go to town later. Let's go back first. Dad will drive you there."

Li Haitang raised his eyebrows and smiled reluctantly, "Dad, no need. I'm riding a bike." After a pause, he added, "I don't dare to sit while you're driving while you're half drunk."

Liu Fen smiled and stood by her side, agreeing, "Well, don't drive after you drink. Haitang can go by bike. It's not snowing today, and there's no ice on the road. It's no problem riding a bicycle."

Li Jianguo thought about it and agreed, "Well, let's go back together now. I'll go back and get some sleep. When I wake up, I'll pick you up in town at six."

"This will do." Li Haitang agreed.

Li Yongchun stretched his limbs and took the initiative, "Uncle jianguo, I didn't drink just now. I'll drive her there."

Li Jianguo had just taken two steps, stopped and smiled, "Yes, Yongchun and Rongzi have both got their driver's license. Your driving skills are better than mine. That's fine. You can send haitang there so that she doesn't get windy on her bike."

"Yeah, how could I forget that there are two other people here who can drive." Li Haitang said with a smile, then called for a large group of people to leave together.

When she got home, Liu Fen helped her pack the two pieces of meat in two separate bags. Li Haitang went back to her room and arranged two more packages. The hat, scarf and gloves were fully armed before she carried the things to the co-pilot.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the truck made a few noises, the truck in Li Yongchun's hands poured out of the li family's suntan terrace like a toy, and then easily turned onto the muddy road.

Li Haitang glanced at the way he was driving and chuckled, "You're really very skilled. You're about the same as my dad. It seems that your teacher has taught you well."

"Heh heh, our master is really good at teaching. He is very conscientious. He really teaches by hand. The students he taught are excellent drivers and have a low accident rate. He has a lot of authority in front of other coaches." Li Yongchun was also a friend who introduced him to this master and admired his driving skills.

"Li Yongchun, when you graduate, you go to that steel mill. There should be jobs in transportation. Are you going to do this?"

Li Yongchun's eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and he answered her with his mouth, "My homeroom teacher is quite nice to me. He wants me to be a skilled worker in the workshop. I want to try it in the workshop when I intern first. If it's suitable, stay here. If it's not suitable, apply for transfer to the transportation workshop. With the skill of the door, there's only one more way out, and there aren't many people who can drive now, and they can find good jobs anywhere."

"Well, that's true. You and Brother Rongzi are not in the same school, but their majors are similar. If you go to the steel mill, where will he go?" Li Haitang had never heard of this before from Li Rong.

Li Yongchun frowned and told her the truth, "Rongzi's school is not as good as ours. The units assigned are small factories. He doesn't want to go. He wants to apply for a job in a bigger state-owned factory after graduation. He's determined not to take the technical route. He doesn't like doing boring work in the workshop at all. He said to apply directly to the transportation department."

"Hehe, although he is much more stable than when he was a child, he is still mischievous in his bones. It's not bad to go for transportation. The salary is much higher than the average job. Besides, he's very smart. He can also use his spare time to do small business and make a fortune in silence." Li Haitang felt that he had guessed eight or nine out of his little thoughts. Li Rong was aggressive and motivated, but his foundation and foundation were weak. If he had money to support him, he might have found a way in the future.

"That's probably what he thinks. I think his idea is pretty good too, but Uncle Zhu and auntie don't agree. Their older generation is still a little too conservative." Li Yongchun smiled.
