Chapter 63 Planting Fruit Trees Second Update
"...Some people eat this kind of food from birth, how can they know what the original taste of food is? Only some elderly people will miss it."

"Then you still dare to let me live broadcast to bring goods? If you have never seen the light, you won't feel how painful it is to be in the dark, but once you see it..."

The system fell silent for a moment.

And Song Hongguo's mood was also a little depressed, until Sheng Zhongxin brought someone to the door.

Sheng Zhongxin brought three people, two were brothers from his own family, and the other was his son Sheng Xuejun. The three adults pushed three platoon carts. They set off before dawn and walked the mountain road for more than two hours. They just arrived at the Xiangyang Brigade, and there were some difficult places on the road. Sheng Xuejun helped them out. Even so, when Song Hongguo saw them, they were all sweating from exhaustion.

Song Hongguo hurriedly removed the threshold, helped them push the car into the yard, and ordered Ling Zhi to make tea, let them sit in the chairs in the front building and rest before talking about work.

Sheng Zhongxin did not refuse the kindness, took a sip of tea, and looked at the spacious yard in front of him calmly. At this moment, the big white goose and the two little ones were playing in the pond, and the chicks were also released. He bowed his head and pecked.

The two people who followed him were a little restrained, holding the enamel jar carefully, but Sheng Xuejun was a little less shy at the market last time, and took the initiative to introduce to Song Hongguo what fruit trees were on the car.

Ling Zhi and Ling Yuan listened carefully from the sidelines. They couldn't wait to plant these fruit trees in their yard immediately, so that they could pick the fruits and eat them in autumn.

The fruit trees brought this time are really quite a lot, full of three big carts, and the saplings are not small. They are all able to bear fruit in those years. There are two sweet-scented osmanthus trees in the car.

"My father said that although this tree does not bear fruit, it can be eaten when it blooms. It is also very fragrant. It can be used to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and make sweet-scented osmanthus honey."

After hearing Sheng Xuejun's explanation, Song Hongguo's heart moved and asked him, "Are there many osmanthus trees in your place?"

Sheng Xuejun shook his head, "It's not too much, there's a small area in the valley."

"Then besides the laurel tree, are there other flowers?"

"Does the wild rhododendron count? There are all over the mountains and fields, and there are oleanders in the village, and the flowers are beautiful..." Sheng Xuejun thought for a while, and then hesitated, "There is also a kind of thorn rose on the mountain, which also blooms. It is full of thorns, and some people in the village use them as fences, so they are not afraid of people entering."

Song Hongguo's eyes lit up, "Are there many thorn roses on the mountain?"

"That's a lot, it's grown taller, it can be more than two meters, but..." He glanced at the stone walls around the yard, and smiled shyly, "You don't need it here, the stone walls are even worse. solid."

It is strong, but planting thorn roses in the wall is not only an extra layer of protection, but also pleasing to the eye.

"do you have anything else?"

"There is also a kind of flower that climbs the wall. It seems to be called rose. When it blooms in large areas, it also has a fragrance. Oh, by the way, there are still peonies in the village, but there are not many, only a few families have them, but those few peonies are all the same. It has been around for decades, it grows like a small tree, and it can bloom a lot of flowers, but the color is not very pleasing, it is white, and the elderly are taboo..."

Song Hongguo is not taboo, she even prefers the pure white to the gorgeous red, a peony that can grow into a small tree... She wants it so much.

So when Sheng Zhongxin was digging a hole and planting trees, Song Hongguo found a topic, and naturally brought it to peony, expressing her desire to buy it. To her surprise, Sheng Zhongxin was not surprised, and readily agreed No, I didn't ask three questions or four questions.

This is a little strange.

In the previous life, it was normal to buy flowers, beautify the environment, and decorate the yard, but now, it is difficult to eat, who has the leisure to grow flowers?Whenever there is a bit of land, they grow food and vegetables, thinking about filling their stomachs. As for flowers and plants, no matter how beautiful they are, they are useless if they cannot be eaten.

She thought of some reasons to cover up for herself, but who knows, it was useless. She then tentatively asked Ribs and Qiangwei. Sheng Zhongxin explained more details than his son, and promised to help her dig more. After all, her yard is big, and if you plant a circle around the base of the wall, you will need a lot.

This time, Sheng Zhongxin didn't ask for much money. He asked her for two bottles of medicine, one for fever reduction, one for anti-inflammation, and purple syrup for cleaning the wound.

When he talked about the medicine, he tried a few words cautiously and casually. Seeing that she looked calm and not embarrassed, he made the request, and then talked about the difficulties and inconveniences of living in the mountains to see a doctor. If he didn't know that she was Doctor, he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

It was only then that Song Hongguo realized that the reason why Sheng Zhongxin was so enthusiastic about selling her fruit trees and flowers was probably because of her status as a doctor, apart from her generosity and indeed earning some money.

After trying to understand this level, she felt more at ease in her heart. She had other desires, which were safer and firmer than simply seeking money.

Sheng Zhongxin was very slick at work, and the two he brought with him were also good at work. Even Sheng Xuejun, a half-grown boy, helped dig a lot of holes, and Song Hongguo also added soil and watered them. By noon, three carts of saplings had been planted.

Two sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted in the backyard, just behind the main house, facing the windows of the two bedrooms. When the flowers bloom and the fragrance wafts in, even dreams will be sweet, right?
Two papaya trees were planted in the southeast and southwest respectively, close to the pigsty and the hut, so that they could also block the smell, while cherries and figs were planted in the south, right where the coal and firewood were placed. in front of the house.

As for the east and west sides, they are not vacant either. Peach trees, apricot trees, and two jujube trees were originally planted. With this arrangement, the entire backyard is surrounded by fruit trees. She was planted around the well. Sheng Zhongxin was thoughtful and helped to build the shelf. He brought the wood here in advance. In summer, this place will also be a good place to cool off.

Those apple trees and hawthorn trees were not planted in the courtyard, but were planted outside the wall of the east courtyard. Along the open space along the pear tree, more than a dozen were planted at once. It is still cold, but there are vaguely tender leaves on the branches. Buds try to pop up.

Spring is just around the corner.

Sheng Zhongxin was about to leave after finishing his work. Song Hongguo wanted to keep them for dinner, but was declined. After thinking about it, she also felt that it was inappropriate. The people who came were all men. It's easy to gossip.

But she couldn't let people go away empty-handed, so she packed some food for Sheng Xuejun. Seeing that the paper bag was not too big, Sheng Zhongxin didn't politely push back, and nodded to signal his son to accept it.

It wasn't until they left Xiangyang Brigade and Sheng Xuejun opened the paper bag that Sheng Zhongxin realized how rare the things inside were.
