Chapter 118 Grandma is in a hurry
“Fruit trees can be planted about half a month before germination in spring (mid-March) and about 10-15 days after leaf fall in autumn.
Fruit trees can be planted in spring to avoid the overwintering period, and management is convenient, which can save manpower and material resources; the temperature in autumn is lower, which can reduce the loss of nutrients of fruit trees during planting, which is conducive to root wound healing. "
At this time, it is autumn, which is suitable for planting fruit trees.
Zhao Dong talked about the fruit tree planting techniques he knew while arranging the fruit tree seedlings.
Zhao Cheng on the side listened very carefully, keeping every sentence in his mind, and would ask a few questions from time to time.
Zhao Dong saw that Zhao Cheng was so interested in this, so he talked to him more, and even took him to plant fruit saplings himself.
—
Because there are not many types of fruit trees now, the fruit tree seedlings brought back by Zhao Dongla are all common.
The owner of the peony shop is very reliable. In addition to the four fruit trees that Zhao Dong mentioned at the time, namely peaches, hawthorns, persimmons, and apricots, he also ordered figs for them, and asked Zhao Dong if he wanted them.
Of course Zhao Dong asked for it directly.
I asked for 50 of each kind, and one kind was planted on one mu of land. Although it was a little rare, it was easier to manage the same kind of plants. Besides, they might be added later.
The grandfather's family didn't know about it until they planted all five acres of land.
No, in the afternoon, the grandma's family rushed over.
As soon as she entered the door, grandma grabbed Zhao Dong worriedly and asked, "Master, why did you plant so many fruit trees?"
She had heard from Sun Mei before that Zhao Dong had the idea of planting fruit trees. However, at the time, she just thought that Zhao Dong was just planting three or two trees in the yard at most, and she felt that it was nothing, so she just gave the child some fruit, which was very good.
Until today, she just learned from Sun Youcai that Zhao Dong actually planted more than 200 trees in one go! And there are plans to continue planting, which is amazing.
No, I just got the news, I couldn't sit still, and I dragged the old man and ran directly.
Zhao Dong naturally knew his mother-in-law's worry, so he hurriedly comforted him: "Mother, it's not worthwhile to plant farms on a few acres of slopes. It's better to plant fruit trees."
Sun Mei knew her husband's ability, so she nodded: "Yes, mother, we have a sense of proportion, don't worry."
Zhao Guifen was terrified, how could she not be worried, after hearing what the couple said, she slapped her thigh: "Oh, my daughter, how can I not be worried, even poor fields, sloped fields, we don't have all of them For planting fruit trees, there is no food, what do you eat, can the fruit be eaten as food!"
Sun Mei: "Mother, not all of them are planted with fruit trees, and those few acres of fertile fields are planted with wheat."
Zhao Guifen was very anxious, and stared at her daughter: "Oh, my silly girl, it's just that little food, after you pay the tax, what else can you eat!"
As he said that, he went to call Sun Kang: "Old man, please persuade them quickly, these two children are really naive, no matter how delicious the fruit is, they can't be eaten as food."
Sun Kang was very calm, smoking a dry cigarette, and waved his hands: "Old lady, I will tell you when I come, don't worry, first listen to what my uncle said, we have seen his ability, There must be a reason for him to do so.”
The second uncle, Sun Youli, also felt that planting fruit trees was not as good as planting crops. However, he has always felt that Zhao Dong's brain is very flexible, and there must be a reason for planting.
Therefore, he also agreed: "Yes, mother, don't worry, first listen to what my uncle said."
Both her son and her husband said that, and after talking for so long, she was not as anxious as before, so she said helplessly: "Okay, I am too anxious, uncle, tell me, what are your plans?" .”
Zhao Dong didn't mind his mother-in-law's nagging at all. He knew very well that the mother-in-law was so worried because she was worried about them.
Therefore, he smiled and said his plan.
After the speech was over, the yard was a little quiet.
Sun Youli looked at his uncle, with a hint of pride in his eyes, he knew that his uncle had a good brain!
Sun Kang sat up, knocked on the dry tobacco, smiled at the old woman and said, "Look, I'll tell you to worry about your mind, my uncle has a plan in mind."
Zhao Guifen just relaxed a little, but still asked: "You said, so what, Boss Feng, is he reliable?"
Sun Mei stepped forward and took Zhao Guifen's hand: "Mother, it's reliable, we have cooperated with them several times..."
After Sun Mei's narration, Zhao Guifen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and clapped her daughter's hand with a look of relief: "Okay, okay, as long as you live well, mother will feel relieved."
The matter of planting fruit trees was settled in this way, and Zhao Guifen didn't bother about it anymore. Then, I asked them about building a house.
After knowing that my uncle has contacted the foreman and bricks and tiles, the work will start in half a month, and I am not satisfied.
After looking at the design drawing of the yard planned by my uncle, Zhao Guifen couldn't close the corners of her mouth when she smiled.
This house, if it is built, it will be magnificent!
Now, she is completely relieved, the uncle is capable, and the daughter is with the right person!
The second uncle, Sun Youli, was already attracted by the blueprint of the house that Zhao Dong wanted to build. He asked my uncle to ask questions, and then said cheerfully: "Mother, when the house of my uncle's house is finished, we will build another one accordingly. Take a look at this blueprint, it will look magnificent when it is built!"
Zhao Guifen glared at him: "Why should we build it? Our brick house is still new. If we want to build a house, we have to wait until Daji gets married."
Grandfather's yard is very large, with front and back yards, it looks very good, but the population of Grandpa's house is too large.
Three sons and seven grandsons. In the future, the third son, Sun Youcai, will get married. When the grandchildren grow up, they cannot live together. The house in the family is not enough.
Therefore, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei looked at each other, and decided that after their house was built, they had to build a house for them after they brought their grandfather's family to earn money.
The adults on their side are worried about this, and they are worried about it. A few little radish heads have nothing to worry about, and they don't feel sad at all. At this moment, they are all very happy because Zhao Dong's family has planted fruit trees.
Because, this means that they will have endless fruits in the future!
Can you be unhappy?
No, there will be a few Xiaojia too excited chattering in the yard, discussing fruits.
When Zhao Cheng said that he was going to pick up Zhao Zhitong from school, they clamored to pick up his little cousin from school together.
Zhao Guifen thought these dolls were too noisy, so she waved her hand and said, "Go, all of you, but you are not allowed to go wild outside. You will come back when you pick up your little cousin, you know?"
The little guys burst into cheers instantly.
"Know it!"
"Oh, let's go, go pick up my little cousin!"
"Third brother, wait for me."
…
A few little guys, chattering excitedly, ran out of the yard.
—
At this time, the school.
Mr. just announced that the school was over, and the four little guys held hands and walked towards the school door.
While they were walking, they were also discussing the matter of naming Gang’s dog.
Zhao Zhitong rolled his eyes and said happily: "I thought of it, my dog is called Dabao!"
The three of Qiao Muchen looked at her suspiciously.
Zhao Zhitong laughed and said, "It will be my big baby from now on, so it's called Dabao."
